Cursed Immortality

Chapter 931: Dark Network!

In the gloomy sky of the Sagittarius Continent, Jacob was inside his space travesty shuttle as he looked at the black runic ring on his index finger, which was pulsing in red light.

ʼThey reacted just as I thought they would. After all, the Ghost Race, Vampire Race, and Fiend Race are the three pillars of the Dead Factions and leaders. If anyone else in the Ghost Race had suddenly started a massacre in their territory, no one wouldʼve reacted. Still, since one of the faction leaders himself started this attack, this matter became a faction matter.

ʼThe Dead Factionʼ didnʼt have many rules as the Dark Beings hierarchy in the legendary plains is not different from the lesser plains. Instead of having one ruler, the Dark Beings are divided among legendary kings of different races. However, it wonʼt change that the strongest among the dark beings still rule over the others.

ʼLike the Soulless Ghost King has deterrence over the entire Ghost Race despite there being Legendary Kings like Soul Ghost King, Giant Ghost King, and Shadow Ghost King because he was chosen by the Ghost King Specter, left behind by their progenitor.

ʼWhile the Vampires followed the Blood Doom King, who is the oldest among them and has the greatest control over blood, itʼs like a bloodline suppression. Lastly, the Fiends are ruled by the Underwood Fiend King because the Demon Godʼs altar selected him.

ʼAlthough the Dead Faction appeared united from the outside, the races are divided because of their beliefs and customs. Nonetheless, the Dead Faction is the faction of Dark Beings, not Ghost Race, Skeleton Race, or any single race that can represent it.

ʼAs for the entity that oversees all of this and ensures the unity of the Dead Faction, it is the Dark Network! Anyone who wants to stay among the dark beings or have any chance to rise will have to join the Dark Network.

ʼFor years, Iʼve been overlooking Dark Network since it really didnʼt have any allure like the Star Network in the lesser plains. But here, Dark Network is very important for the Dead Faction.

ʼMoreover, Iʼve always thought the Star Network invented the Dark Network, but itʼs not that simple. Because Dark Network has different rules and regulations than the Star Network, these two entities seem to be enemies.

ʼOne represents the Light and living while the other represents Darkness and dead, but both follow the same paths which strengthen the living and dead. Then what role does SAAI play in all this?

ʼIf SAAI also managed Dark Network as well, then it made matters even more complex, or SAAI could be a completely different entity that is neutral and chosen by both networks to ensure fairness.

ʼBut if this is true, then didnʼt it mean this is all some kind of game? The more I learn about this, the more complex and twisted everything became…ʼ

Jacobʼs eyes flickered with a hint of confusion, but he knew he couldnʼt mull over this matter for long because he didnʼt have all the information and facts to judge anything. Not to mention, this matter was too deep and secretive and probably touched the deepest secrets of the Zodiac Plains.

Anyhow, his main focus was the blinking ring; this ring wasnʼt ordinary because it was the Dark Soul Ring, a medium to access the Virtual Dark World. The Dark Soul Ring was like the Soul Star Watch, and the Virtual Dark World was the same as the Virtual Star World. One was for living, while the other was for the dead!

Jacobʼs Dark Soul Ring was naturally registered with the Soulless Ghost Kingʼs soul force, and his Dark ID was also different. If Jacob wanted, he could also access the Dark Network by using his soul force because of his uniqueness, but he didnʼt since it was meaningless.

Still, the Dark Soul Ring was blinking right now because a few hours ago, he received a notification about an absolute meeting that he couldnʼt ignore, like an absolute call or the star network.

However, unlike the calls, this meeting was a faction meeting among the Dead Faction, and if he continues to ignore it for 24 hours, the consequence will be dangerous.

ʼNow that the Soulless Ghost King has destroyed two of the strongholds without any justification, as long as Blood Doom King and Underwood Fiend King agree, they can initial the Dead Faction absolute meeting, and they did just that.

ʼNow, if I donʼt answer the summing call and donʼt appear, they can kick me out from the faction leader positions, putting me against the entire Dead Faction, which means every Dark Being will become my enemy and the Legendary Kings of Dark Beings can attack me without any worry to be punished by the Dark Network.

ʼOn the other hand, Iʼll be abandoned by the Dark Network and will have a bounty on my head since I went against many rules of Dead Faction by starting a fight without any reason and killed legendary dark beings…ʼ

Jacob suddenly smiled sinisterly, ʼWell, this is what I want…but I wonʼt be alone since the Soul Ghost King is also on my side, and once she manages to tame those remaining legendary ghost kings, the entire Ghost Race will leave the Dead Faction.

ʼIf everything goes according to my plan, the Ghost Race will rage a war against the Dead Faction. Giving me all the time and resources to upgrade my Jinx Core and knowing the life faction, they wonʼt miss this chance to muddle the waters even further.

ʼWho knows, I might be able to wipe out all the Dark Beings in the entire Legendary Plains, achieving the impossible…ʼ

Jacob knew his plan was ridiculous, but he had no choice but to take this route since he knew that the entire dead faction would come after him in full force if he started killing dark beings.

But if he could somehow pull the entire ghost race and its subordinary races on his bandwagon, he could manage it. Although he might not be able to upgrade his jinx core to legendary king rank since there werenʼt even 1,000 legendary kings in the entire legendary plains combined, much less within the dark being ranks.

However, achieving the legendary lord rank was still possible, or at least making at least halfway progress, and only then would he move towards the next step of his plan and leave the middle galaxies for good!
