Chapter 964: This Is... A Mourning Bone Dragon?

~7 min read 1,376 words

The Grand Chairman dragged a long train of coffins ahead, leading the way, while Seeing Ange's group followed far behind in an airship, flying toward the Shenguangtong Alliance, one in front and one behind.

"What do you think he's dragging all these coffins for?" Lord Nai Ge asked curiously, looking at the long line of crude coffins.

Anthony pondered, "I guess... they're meant to hold corpses."

Lord Nai Ge had a black line run down his face: "I guessed that too, but what corpses?"

"Naturally, the Mourning Undead Soldiers. I didn't dare scan with my mind. My Lord Du Luo Ken, can you tell what's going on?" Anthony asked.

Du Luo Ken said, "Good thing you didn't scan. The coffins are covered in arrays that block and isolate everything. Even if you scanned, you wouldn't see anything. These coffins seem to require an environment completely isolated from consciousness or souls. What do you think of that?"

Lord Nai Ge guessed, "Soul Vessel Reincarnation?"

Soul Vessel Reincarnation requires a very quiet, undisturbed environment. Its essence is the process of writing memories into a new soul. If disturbed, if memories are missing or extra ones that never existed are added, can the resurrected one still be considered the original soul?

This situation arises very easily, especially with the everywhere-present resentful spirits. If a bunch of resentful spirits are wailing around your Soul Vessel while you're being resurrected, the first thing you'll do after coming back to life is probably kill yourself again.

Du Luo Ken nodded: "So it's good you didn't scan just now, otherwise he might have turned hostile. Soul Vessel Reincarnation fears disturbance the most."

Anthony said, "He's dragging a string of Mourning Undead Soldiers undergoing Soul Vessel Reincarnation through the void. Why?"

Yin Bi was suddenly startled and said, "The place where Mourning Bodies are created is in the Great Void?"

Anthony nodded with Expression Solemn, and Lord Nai Ge and Du Luo Ken also became Expression Solemn.

The Gale Rabbit asked somewhat bewilderedly, "What's wrong? Is creating Mourning Bodies in the Great Void a serious problem?"

Lord Nai Ge explained, "Where does your power come from? From the faith of your believers, right? If you had a hundred million believers..."

"Pfft..." Just as he said this, the Gale Rabbit instinctively laughed out loud: "A hundred million believers? If I had a hundred million believers, I'd laugh in my dreams."

Lord Nai Ge slapped it on the ear: "The number doesn't matter, I'm just making a metaphor. You rookie god, you don't even have a hundred million believers, no wonder you get beaten up."

The rabbit covered its ears and complained indignantly, "How many believers do you have? Say it so we can compare."

Lord Nai Ge pretended not to hear and continued explaining, "To support a hundred million believers, you need hundreds of millions of mu of land. With crop yields this low here, plus all kinds of religious activities to make everyone devoutly dedicate their faith, only then will you have a continuous flow of power. There are none of these things in the void, not even a sun. How can he support so many people?"

The rabbit said, "But those are Mourning Undead Soldiers, they don't need food, so how can they not be supported?"

Lord Nai Ge sneered, "You just don't get it. Undead creatures are harder to support than living people."

On the surface, undead creatures don't eat or drink and aren't afraid of the cold, seeming very easy to survive, but if you look deeper, for undead creatures to exist in a place, a living race must exist there first.

A living race only needs one male and one female, plus food and clothing, to multiply and thrive, but undead creatures require a living race first, so to support undead creatures, you must first support a living race.

Kings understand this principle, and the Great Sage understands it too. That is why in the Land of Ruin, the Great Sage is more friendly to humans than the Church of Light, which only collects taxes and does nothing, because living races are the foundation of undead creatures.

If the Grand Chairman is truly creating Mourning Bodies in the Boundless Great Void, where does the required soul energy come from? Transported from the Shenguangtong Alliance? Then why not create them directly in the Shenguangtong Alliance?

For safety? That's too funny. Just the Sixth Chairman alone has seventy-two Mourning Undead Soldiers in his possession. I heard the Grand Chairman holds an even larger undead army. Who could possibly threaten his safety?

"The only reason is that the workshop must be close to the source of raw materials, just like there are usually many blacksmith shops near iron mines." Yin Bi added.

Hearing this, everyone unconsciously looked toward the direction of the Boundless Great Void. If there was a source of raw materials for creating Mourning Undead Soldiers there, what could it be?

"Chaos Mist? A plane with massive death qi? Or an ancient battlefield?" Lord Nai Ge said.

"Guessing this is meaningless. We don't even know what method they use to create the Mourning Undead Soldiers. What if, like my lord, they have their own self-contained Dimensional World?" Du Luo Ken said.

There is too little information to speculate at all, but there is no doubt that being able to create Mourning Undead Soldiers in the Boundless Great Void means that place is absolutely not as 'void' as ordinary people imagine.

"Then why are we following them? We can just sell him the essence liquid later. There's no need to follow, right?" Lord Nai Ge said.

Anthony explained, "This is the most logical choice. We are at our wit's end, he is willing to shelter us, but we are unwilling to accept it, which doesn't look like people at their wit's end. Moreover, if we don't draw him away, how can we move the Godhammer Dimension? My lord has already started moving the Godhammer Dimension."

As he spoke, everyone turned to look at Seeing Ange beside them. At this moment, Seeing Ange's hand was emitting a faint Bai Guang, the Little Ghost was entirely attached to his arm, and then the front part of the forearm disappeared.

As for the Godhammer Dimension, the Heaven Fortress that flew away earlier had circled back and stopped in front of the pit. A World Tree vine was breaking through the soil that originally buried it, drilling out from inside and reaching toward the Heaven Fortress.

The prepared Holy War Tree extended its branches to receive the World Tree vine, grasping the vine tightly and intertwining with it.

Then the fortress moved, the vine slowly tightened, and the entire Godhammer Dimension was dragged along.

Just like this, with a drag and a pull, the Godhammer Dimension left its original position and drifted toward an unknown area. The entire process had little to do with Seeing Ange's hand.

As for that hand, it was floating above the Divine Farmer's Farm, occasionally poking a hole to plant Divine Rabbit Tail Grass.

Seeing Seeing Ange looking so 'busy', Lord Nai Ge said with relief, "Finally doing something proper. But aren't we afraid of danger following them? We're in a strange land, what if he ambushes us?"

Anthony smiled and shook his head: "Look at the combat level of those Mourning Undead Soldiers; ambushing us would be a bit difficult. At worst, we lose a body. The Little Ghost is already here. Later, we can project over again and settle the score with him."

Perhaps having witnessed the combat level of the Mourning Undead Soldiers, Anthony looked down on those guys a bit. They don't even have skills; how can they try to trick or ambush us?

Just then, Seeing Ange, who was 'so busy', suddenly jumped up, rushed to the porthole, and looked out.

Everyone's hearts jumped, and they all rushed to the window, looking in the direction of Seeing Ange's gaze.

Seeing Ange's vision was farther, so he saw it from very far away, but the others only vaguely felt a massive soul wave waking up.

When they got closer and saw that soul wave, everyone sucked in a cold breath: "This... this is a Mourning... Bone Dragon?"
