Ang tilted his head. Before he could speak, Nai Ge Li Si had already shouted anxiously: "No, don't talk nonsense. The Godhead chose Ang as its successor."

Ku Ba Da, stealing the Immortal King's Godhead? Who would dare to carry such a big crime?

Life-threatening, oh. Don't forget, besides the Flash Feiti in front of them, there are Harvey and the Great Sage in the Land of Sinking, and tens of millions of undead.

The Undead Empire back then was too huge. No one knew if there were still souls loyal to His Majesty, for example, did the witch perish, or did she hide?

According to speculation, the witch should be an existence possessing a godhead, which is why His Majesty told her to be careful of the soul storm.

This is also the reason why Nai Ge Li Si has always been unwilling to receive Harvey back.

Theoretically, as long as the world transit station is opened, Harvey can teleport back.

The return of too many souls loyal to the Undead King will inevitably create a problem—who does the Palace of Rest belong to?

The Palace of Rest is in Ang's hands, which no one can take away, but what if Harvey insists?

Before these problems are handled well, it's better not to come back for now.

"Impossible. Why would the Immortal Godhead choose a human to inherit it? He must have used some despicable means, ah—" Speaking of this, Flash Feiti suddenly arched its body and let out a soul scream.

Following its scream, the entire plane set off a tidal echo. Corpses and skeletons from all directions stood up, and following its scream, it spread like ripples, setting off waves of corpse tides, slowly moving towards the position of the teleportation array.

The most terrifying thing about the undead is not the tyrannical Lord of Mourning, nor the immortal soul, but the endless tide of undead corpses that are not afraid of death.

They rush at you without fear, letting swords and spears hack at their bodies, and never retreat. It doesn't matter if you hack them into pieces; as long as you make a mistake and get killed by them, you will soon become a part of them.

The elite golden skeleton steps on the aura of the king's arrival, summoning all the corpses on the ground, surging like a tide. When they surge, they are a natural disaster—the Undead Disaster.

Treating the undead as a natural disaster, one can imagine how powerless people are when facing them, just like facing those naturally occurring natural disasters.

Not only that, following Flash Feiti's scream, space cracks also split open in front of it, but strangely, nothing came out of the cracks.

Flash Feiti was also puzzled: "Where is my golden skeleton?"

Could it be that they were all called away by the God Bone Skeleton? Nai Ge Li Si muttered in his heart.

Watching the undead tide surge here, Ang also suddenly arched his body: Awoo—! Burning soul flames rose on his body.

The corpses and skeletons that were slowly starting to surge here hesitated, slowed their steps, and finally stopped completely.

A strong feeling of confusion surged in Flash Feiti's soul: "You, suppressed me?"

"Normal, normal. Ang is the God of Immortality. These corpses don't look like they are directly under you. They must listen to the God of Immortality first. Don't worry, what did you say just now? You said 'the Immortal Godhead wouldn't choose a human to inherit it'? You think he is a human?"

Nai Ge Li Si hurriedly blocked between Flash Feiti and Ang and said urgently.

"Not a human?" Flash Feiti was puzzled.

Nai Ge Li Si didn't know what to say. Flash Feiti is the Lord of Mourning. Although he didn't remember him, the Lord of Mourning has a tyrannical soul, more terrifying than a god. Naturally, his mental power is also tyrannical. Now he can't see through Ang's illusion?

Last time in the Land of Sinking, he didn't face Harvey, so he couldn't be sure. Now he can be sure. Ang's perverted mental power is higher than the Lord of Mourning.

Regardless of whether Ang was this high from the beginning or only slowly became this high after inheriting the godhead, this is a very incredible thing.

"What if it's not?" Nai Ge Li Si asked.

Flash Feiti paused: "Doesn't matter."

Nai Ge Li Si muttered: "Why didn't he fall for it? Really. Ang, take off your hat and show him."

Ang took off his hat, revealing his skeleton body.

"Golden Skeleton!? Impossible! Scarecrow hat? Even more impossible. How could a golden skeleton have such strong mental power?!" Flash Feiti said in disbelief.

Nai Ge Li Si spread his hands: "This might be the reason why the Immortal Godhead chose him."

Flash Feiti's blank gaze looked at Ang for a long time, then turned to Du Luo Ken, and finally returned to Nai Ge Li Si: "Is it really the Immortal Godhead that chose him? And not that he stole it?"

Du Luo Ken had to speak: "Flash Feiti, what are you thinking? Is the Immortal Godhead something you can steal if you want to?"

Makes sense. Is the Immortal Godhead something you can steal if you want to? This is also looking down on the King too much.

"Is it really inherited? Why would the Godhead choose him?" Flash Feiti stood up straight, his posture less aggressive, and his tone less hostile.

"It's a long story..." Nai Ge Li Si told what happened over the years, listening to Flash Feiti and Du Luo Ken in astonishment. Some things, Du Luo Ken was also hearing for the first time.

After listening to these things, Flash Feiti looked at Ang and said with a complex tone: "Vegetable-growing skeleton? What a lucky guy."

Nai Ge Li Si shook his head: "This is not good luck. Although his luck is indeed quite good, if it were you, could you grow things for a thousand years like a day? Thanks to the substances increased by the farm barrier to balance, otherwise the Palace of Rest would have collapsed long ago, so he saved the Palace of Rest."

Whether it's good luck or saving doesn't matter, at least it proves that Ang didn't steal the godhead, but gained the recognition of the godhead.

Realizing this, Flash Feiti muttered something no one could hear clearly, knelt on one knee: "Eternal God of Immortality, may your soul be eternal, ancient and immortal."

This is a ritualistic kneeling, expressing his respect for the Immortal Godhead. After finishing the ritual, he stood up.

Nai Ge Li Si was a little disappointed. This was different from what he expected, but it was reasonable. Flash Feiti, as the Lord of Mourning and the most loyal warrior of the Undead King, how could he offer his soul to others because of the transfer of the Immortal Godhead?

Du Luo Ken was forced to have no choice. As a newly reborn person, he would have to sleep forever if he didn't offer his soul.

But this is also good. At least Flash Feiti's hostility disappeared, so Nai Ge Li Si could ask him more things.

"Flash Feiti, His Majesty has disappeared, do you know?" Nai Ge Li Si asked tentatively, testing how much his memory had recovered.

"I know." Flash Feiti nodded: "I watched the King enter the Void Gate with my own eyes. You even inherited the Immortal Godhead, so the King must not have been able to come back."

"Then do you know why His Majesty wanted to enter the Void Gate? What's going on with the soul storm? Before that, His Majesty seemed to have lifted everyone's soul connection, including yours," Nai Ge Li Si asked.

"Of course it was to kill people. It was too dangerous. The King said not to take me, and let me and Luoke kill all the other gods, so as not to suffer from the faith storm and produce a chain reaction," Flash Feiti said.

"Enter the Void Gate to kill people? Why?" Nai Ge Li Si asked.

"Listening to the King, it means that some guys are hiding in the depths of the void, using very special methods to accumulate energy, launch a soul storm, also called a faith storm, and want to erase the gods and kings from the level of belief, so the King decided to strike first and go over to hack them."

Nai Ge Li Si and Du Luo Ken were dumbfounded after listening. Erase the King and the gods together? God, is the power of this soul storm so terrifying? Terrifying is fine, but it was actually launched by some "guys"?

What kind of guys can launch a storm that erases kings and gods together?

"I don't know, they call themselves evil gods."

Hearing this, everyone thought of a furry big cat in unison, and then shook their heads one after another. With its sneaky appearance, there is no demeanor of an evil god at all.

According to Flash Feiti, Nai Ge Li Si roughly understood. In some place in the void, a group of evil gods tried to release a soul storm, or it could be called a faith storm. Anyway, it is a power at the level of belief that can directly act on gods and kings.

This kind of storm seems to be cross-plane. As long as it is within a certain range, it will be affected. Cross-plane strike.

In order to strike first, the King tried to locate the position of the evil gods, crossed the void one step ahead, and prepared to eliminate those guys.

Because the situation in the void is too complicated, he didn't take his loyal subjects, but let Luoke and Flash Feiti go one step ahead to hack all the other gods, so as not to produce some chain reactions when suffering from the faith storm.

"What kind of logic is this? Because you are afraid they will die, you hack them to death first?" Nai Ge Li Si was stunned.

Du Luo Ken shook his head: "It's not like that. The collapse of faith will have very serious chain reactions, which will affect many devout believers, especially large-scale faith collapse, the consequences of which are difficult to predict."

Flash Feiti nodded: "The King also said so. He said that under the faith storm, every broken godhead will become a new source of storm, which will affect many believers. For safety's sake, it's better to kill them first."

Nai Ge Li Si's heart was surging. From Flash Feiti's casual words, he could clearly feel the power of the Undead King.

Just for the sake of safety, in order to preserve devout believers, he could kill all the gods.

From the results, the King's decision was very correct. The disappearance of the gods did not cause any impact. Until now, many people don't know that the gods have disappeared.

And the faith storm did not cause any impact. The main plane seems to be living and working in peace and contentment, and the Abyss of Rest seems to be peaceful.

It's just that the King didn't expect that his two capable subordinates would also die and lose their memories, the Great Sage was blocked in the Land of Sinking, the Palace of Rest formed a closed system because it wasn't opened, gradually stepping to the edge of collapse, and the Undead Empire fell apart as a result.

A thousand years have passed, the King has not returned, the gods have slowly been reborn, a new Lord of Mourning has been born, the Palace of Rest has welcomed its master again, and the Immortal Godhead has been inherited.

These messages were too shocking. Nai Ge Li Si couldn't digest them for a while, so he had to temporarily change the subject: "Flash Feiti, what are your plans for the future?"

"Return to the Palace of Rest," Flash Feiti said.

"That won't do. The current master of the Palace of Rest is Ang. You haven't offered your soul, so I can't let you go back," Nai Ge Li Si said.

Not only not letting him return to the Palace of Rest, but also not letting him go anywhere else. If a Lord of Mourning appeared on the main plane, the result would be very terrifying. No one could subdue him. If he messed around, Ang might not even have a place to grow things.

Flash Feiti picked up a skull casually, flicked a soul flame into it, threw it into the bone pile, and with a clatter, the skull quickly combined into a withered bone skeleton.

Except for the half-body skeleton, the withered bone skeleton is already the lowest level among skeletons.

Flash Feiti's main body stiffened. Immediately, the withered bone skeleton became agile, and Flash Feiti's voice sounded on it: "I'll project onto it and go back to take a look."

This is fine. Even if a withered bone skeleton has any thoughts, it can't do anything.

"Ang, Ang, Ku Ba Da, what are you doing again? It's dark, dry, and cold here. What can you grow by reclaiming farmland here?" Nai Ge Li Si was so angry he wanted to scold people.

This dead skeleton took advantage of everyone chatting and went to reclaim land again. The problem is, what can be grown in this barren plane without sunlight, water, and cold?

Ang took out Soul Moss.

"Pfft..." Nai Ge Li Si couldn't vomit blood. There is no unsuitable climate, only unsuitable crops.

Ku Ba Da, the environment here is indeed suitable for Soul Moss, dry and cold, and there are so many corpses, soul energy is sufficient, but it is not as concentrated as the Abyss of Rest to scrape the death wind.

"We are going back immediately..." Before he finished speaking, he saw Ang step down a footprint, and the Soul Moss just sown grew wildly.

Flash Feiti's projected withered bone skeleton stroked its chin and muttered: "It seems that our new God of Immortality has some skills. The Death Aura can be used like this?"

After urging a batch of dozens of acres of Soul Moss, Ang didn't continue. This kind of crop is not used much. Dozens of acres are enough for a long time. This is still counting the demand for Sawa's newly invented Sleeping Beauty potion.

Putting Flash Feiti's projected withered bone skeleton into the Palace of Rest, Ang stepped into the air slowly, his gaze scanning the earth in front of him. On his back, a ring appeared—the Ring of Scales.

One hundred thousand, ten thousand, fifty thousand, seventy thousand... As far as the eye could see, there were seventy thousand corpses. Many corpses were wearing broken armor, or holding broken weapons. This was clearly an ancient battlefield.

Not all seventy thousand corpses had soul flames. Those with soul flames might be less than one-fifth. The rest didn't know if they had dissipated on their own like in the Land of Sinking.

Undead are not really immortal. When they are in a closed space, the soul cannot be replenished and will slowly die.

"There's something." Ang suddenly pointed to the end of the horizon in the distance. Under the reflection of his Ring of Scales, the number of undead with "souls" in that area was relatively large.

Leaving Flash Feiti's main body stunned, the group flew to the end of the horizon and actually saw a large area of tents.

These tents were already broken, collapsed and covered the things underneath. When lifted, they were all wooden boxes, at least hundreds of boxes piled up in a row of tents, with packages wrapped in oil paper inside.

"Soul Crystal!" Tearing open an oil paper package, Nai Ge Li Si shouted excitedly.

"Soul Crystal!"

"All Soul Crystals!" Everyone excitedly tore open most of the oil paper packages, revealing the intact Soul Crystals inside.

"Why are there so many Soul Crystals? God, is the logistics transport of the Undead Empire not food, but Soul Crystals?"
