Then.

Su Changxing summoned the high-level undead still remaining in the city, which were more intelligent and powerful compared to regular undead.

”Explain what’s going on here,” he looked at the Witch Demon clad in a black cloak and asked.

This seemed to be an undead afraid of death, as it had not appeared during the siege but had hidden far away, only showing up belatedly to curry favor after he had captured the city.

The Witch Demon touched its chin with its pale left hand, remained silent for a while, then said, ”I don’t really know what the situation is either, but the City of Decay has always had this condition, seemingly reflecting a city from another world.”

”Reflecting?” Su Changxing asked with a frown, ”I hope no one is deceiving me. Think carefully before you speak, what is reflecting, and what exactly does it mean?”

The Witch Demon shrunk its shoulders after being reprimanded by Su Changxing, seemingly fearful, as an existence like Su Changxing could probably kill it with a wave of his hand, so it was naturally afraid.

It’s not only humans who fear death; undead do as well, and for most undead, death is truly the end.

Even if revived.

It turns into a new undead born from their residual souls, having no relation to them.

Only exists like the King of Corpse Eaters can achieve true, complete resurrection.

”Our research suggests that the fate of that city is tightly linked with our City of Decay; if destroyed, both would perish together.”

The Witch Demon spoke while observing Su Changxing’s expression, afraid he wouldn’t believe what it said, and added:

”Sir, although this sounds absurd, the situation is right in front of us. The City of Decay was nearly destroyed by you, and the city existing in the unknown world was almost destroyed too.”

Su Changxing did not question his statement, then turned the conversation: ”You seem quite happy; do you wish for him to die?”

The Witch Demon hesitated and said, ”He is a brutal and merciless lord. With him around, we will never have our day. Only upon his death will there be an opportunity.”

If the King of Corpse Eaters were still here, its strength could only reach this level, and going further would not be permitted.

All Lord Level undead have their own territories, and their strength is built upon this area; the stronger the undead, the larger their territory.

Su Changxing looked at it without expression: ”Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you?”

The Witch Demon lowered its head slightly, eloquently saying:

”I don’t think so, because I am still useful. Since you haven’t completely destroyed the City of Decay, you must want to take over here. I, Anstan, can serve you.”

Su Changxing turned and continued walking down the street, chuckling: ”Are all Witch Demons as clever as you?”

Anstan shook its head and said:

”Not at all, only a few are as smart as me. Dull ones exist too, some have such problematic brains they don’t even know what they are, but those are low-level Witch Demons, not worth mentioning.”

Su Changxing took out the Book of the Dead from his pocket, flipping through it before leisurely saying:

”Anstan, are you willing to serve me?”

”Huh?” Anstan paused, stopping in its tracks.

Su Changxing looked back at him, smiling as he said:

”I think this city is missing a lord; you seem like the suitable choice. If you are willing to serve me, you can become the King of Corpse Eaters or whatever you want.”

The Witch Demon raised its tightly wrapped cloak, revealing a silver-white bone nose, grinning: ”Sir, although what you say is tempting, I might not be suitable, as my strength is not enough.”

Though the City of Decay had been conquered, there were many presences as strong as it. Those beings could tolerate Su Changxing taking over the city but couldn’t tolerate an undead weaker than them becoming the city’s king.

This likely has something to do with the worldview of undead; in their world, only the strong prey on the weak, and the strong rule as kings.

As long as you are powerful enough, whether human, undead, or otherwise, you can make them serve.

But they absolutely won’t tolerate a weaker undead ruling over them.

Su Changxing saw the Witch Demon’s desire: ”That doesn’t matter, right? I think attitude is very important, and you precisely have the right attitude; power can grow.”’

He certainly wouldn’t remain in the City of Decay forever and wouldn’t leave it unattended, or else a new Lord Level undead would surely emerge.

”Anstan, are you willing to serve me?” Su Changxing asked again.

A dark stone altar, its appearance unknown, had already emerged between them, four candle lamps lit at four directions, blood-colored patterns covered each spot on the altar.

Anstan’s expression changed, realizing Su Changxing was serious, not joking at all, sprawled on the ground, loudly proclaiming in a hoarse, old voice:

”I, Anstan, will serve the lord, for eternity and forever.”

A Chapter within the Book of the Dead lit up, one fire echoing another, this stone altar nestled within the Book of the Dead could thoroughly bind undead and grant them power.

And.

This ritual could also be used for the living, although only applied to three subjects simultaneously, with the targeted subject not stronger than oneself.

With increasingly intense energy fluctuations, the strong wind caused clothes to flap, as Anstan quietly stood in place, his aura slightly elevating.

This may not immediately empower him, but it gives him the chance to become stronger, the talent he needs.

Not all undead can infinitely grow stronger; this is limited by the soul.

”Thank you, my master!” Anstan exclaimed excitedly, his left hand uncontrollably twitching.

Su Changxing granted half of the control over the City of Decay to him, enabling him to quickly grow stronger in a short time, at least stronger than other undead in the city.

Next.

Su Changxing gathered all the high-tier undead within the City of Decay, using the Book of Death to recruit them into the Immortal Legion one by one for indirect control.

The undead control this world, possessing their own system, and certainly stronger presences exist, so he planned to cover up the death of the King of Corpse Eaters for as long as he could.

The Undead World currently seems to be at war with those Blood Species, likely unable to address them, thus occupying the City of Decay as a precaution.

Controlling this place ensures no undead can bypass the City of Decay and enter their world.

Undead are always a threat to humanity.

The City of Decay is alive, itself a massive undead formed from countless living corpses, but it holds little awareness and is easy to control.

In just one night, places in the City of Decay destroyed by Su Changxing were already half repaired.

Wooden transport carts carried the undead corpses to the corpse pit in the eastern city.

There, countless undead are revived every moment, returning to this world, a rebirth akin to newborns, possessing brand new consciousnesses.

Su Changxing spent the entire night researching but couldn’t figure out what was up with the city in the unknown world and why its fate was tightly linked with the City of Decay!

But.

He didn’t linger long within the City of Decay, leaving the giant ox and ferret cat to guard the city, guarding against other powerful undead that might come.

”It seems to have grown bigger.”

Su Changxing raised his gaze to the sky, looking at the increasingly blood-red moon, furrowing his brow.

It seems these worlds are near each other, though the Blood Species cannot directly invade Blue Star.

”Could the third apocalypse have started from the fall of the Undead World? But it shouldn’t be, the strength of the Undead World should be matched with those Blood Species.”

He pondered, using the fastest speed to traverse through the passage back to Blue Star.

At that moment.

It was already morning, the third day’s morning, though still pitch dark within the black mist.

This time.

The undead lingering near the passage, upon seeing him, quickly gave way.

These belong to the City of Decay’s undead and are now under his command, indirectly influenced by the Book of the Dead.

These undead have a characteristic; they cannot stray too far from their own domains, or they will self-destruct.

Powerful undead can break this limitation, but it still has some effects.
