Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

The changes weren't significant; it was mostly just an increase in various supplies, and a few additional rights and features from the Land of the Dead.

Zi Liyuan paid them no mind and immediately opened his Space Column, looking straight for the [Mysterious Treasure Chest].

[Mysterious Treasure Chest (Unknown): A magical chest rewarded by the Sea of Realms' Heavenly Dao, the items contained within purely depend on luck. (PS: Guaranteed to produce Silver Hero items as a minimum, with a 20% chance to produce Gold Lord items, 15% for Purple Epic items, 10% for Red Legendary items, 1% for Orange Sanctum items, and 0.01% chance to produce Rainbow Deities and Demons items.)]

"Tsk tsk, thanks for the gift from the Sea of Realms, buddy~!"

Is a 0.01% chance to produce Rainbow Deities and Demons items considered low?

Why did Zi Liyuan feel like the Rainbow Deities and Demons items were beckoning to him?

Guess he'll just have to ask if the Goddess of Luck loves him!

However, Zi Liyuan didn't act hastily — planning was essential for such matters.

Now that he had a cultivation method, as long as the Lord's Mansion kept upgrading, advancing his tier wouldn't be an issue.

At least until he reached the Seventh Grade Sanctum, there were no bottlenecks in sight.

As for the Great Emperor at the same seventh tier, that depended on chance and comprehension; it wasn't a given just because one had a cultivation method.

Of course, if Zi Liyuan fully integrated the fragments of the Death Divinity, becoming a Great Emperor wouldn't be difficult, but taking the step toward becoming a god or demon was another story.

Unless he acquired a complete Death Divinity, stepping into the Deities and Demons rank was certainly out of reach.

"Hongsha, notify the Blue Star Lords to assemble in the Council Hall for a meeting."

Now that the entire Land of the Dead was under his control, it was still necessary to rely on these lords to develop the resources within the fiefdom.

Zi Liyuan had no desire to sit in front of the altar day and night, summoning and sacrificing to produce tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions of White Jade Skeleton laborers.

With the time that would take, he'd rather conquer additional territories and directly seize the position of Grand Lord.

Wan Xing and the others were swift; shortly after Zi Liyuan had taken his seat in the Council Hall, they arrived.

"Take a seat. You've done very well this time. In the coming period, focus on restoring the construction of various territories and contact your allies to do your best in developing the resources within the Land of the Dead."

The monster sieges had ended, but not completely.

The Death Castle was affected early by the Alien Lords, triggering a premature Monster Siege and even unleashing a Fifth-tier Legendary Orc asura BOSS.

However, the Monster Sieges throughout the Land of the Dead hadn't ended—in fact, they hadn't even begun!

Meaning, every lord within the Land of the Dead was still threatened by a future Monster Siege.

These subordinate Blue Star Lords had yet to undergo their siege.

However, their territories, being on the outskirts of the Death Castle, with the castle itself certainly garrisoned by a strong military force, were in an absolutely safe environment.

Their allies, though, were a different story.

Over three hundred Blue Star Lords combined forces, pooling a tremendous amount of resources to elevate their 21 members to LV10 Lords, thus gaining a significant upgrade.

But those lords who had contributed substantial resources inevitably slowed their own Lord's Mansion upgrade progress.

At this moment, it would be quite impressive if these individuals had their Lord's Mansion at level LV7.

"My Lord Zi Liyuan, may we request a few squads of Hundred Spectral Dragons to aid our allies in resisting the monster invasions?" Wan Xing asked after a brief exchange with the other lords.

"You may have four Hundred Dragon Squads. The human military forces recruited from outside the city can also be placed under your command."

After this Monster Siege, these Blue Star Lords had nearly depleted all their resources, raising an army of over thirty thousand.

Among them, thirteen thousand comprised the Crusader Legion, with three thousand five hundred Crusader Warriors reaching the peak of the third tier at LV80, while the rest were green recruits at the first tier, level LV20.

Another twelve thousand consisted of archers and crossbowmen, though now they uniformly fell under the Firearm Legion.

This troop had all reached the peak of the Second Tier at LV60, and since their weapons were firearms, a type of extreme limit-breaking weapon, their attack power was completely comparable to that of a Third Tier corps.

This was truly an elite veteran corps.

Of course, the effectiveness of such a highly destructive corps depended on logistical support; without sufficient ammunition resupply, they were basically reduced by half.

The last was a corps made up of five thousand spearmen, all peak First Tier LV40 warriors, the most common type of First Tier soldiers among the Human Race, with no potential for further development.

"Thank you, My Lord, for making this possible!"

Wan Xing bowed and also sighed in relief.

Without the support of these lords, the coalition of over three hundred would probably collapse immediately after this wave of monster siege.

Now it was much better. With the support of their dispatched corps and the Spectral Dragons as the airdrop squadron, they could fully help these lords survive the crisis of the monster siege.

"That's enough, there are no other arrangements for now, go and prepare."

After sending off these Blue Star Lords who had turned to him, Zi Liyuan sank into deep thought.

He temporarily trusted these lords but did not fully trust them; he dared not rashly bring them into Death Castle.

"Liu Yiqing, you command the army of five hundred Spectral Dragons to support my territory. Once it's done, enter the Underworld and quickly report the situation of the underground dimension to me."

"No problem, leave it to me."

The Bloodline Altar still had to wait a while. Right now, it was a good time to enter the underground dimension and rid herself of the constraints of her contract.

Although those who had controlled her contract from the Coalition of Nations had already been killed by Zi Liyuan, no one could guarantee that these people hadn't left a contingency plan.

Before activating her Bloodline Power, Liu Yiqing could evade the Coalition's fallback plans by entering the underground dimension.

Crossing the spatial dimensions would weaken the influence of the contract.

Zi Liyuan's gaze was profound. He deliberately spread the news that three thousand Spectral Dragons had perished, naturally leading to a reduced number of Spectral Dragons in his legion.

Wasn't it perfect to have Liu Yiqing command and bring them into the Underworld in order to hide a portion of them?

The reason for doing this was to continue luring Alien Lords to their deaths.

This would greatly weaken the power and foundation of the Aliens, making it much easier to expel them from New World No. 99 later on.

Of course, this was a risk for Zi Liyuan, putting himself in danger.

However, danger often came with opportunities.

As long as he could survive wave after wave of Alien assaults, his prestige would significantly increase, and it would be much easier to attain the position of Grand Lord.

At the same time, he could gain the allegiance of most of the Blue Star people and even more monster races willing to surrender and become his subordinate races, like the Kobold Tribe, creating various benefits for him.

"Spider Queen, you and Kulong will be in charge of Death Castle. I'll send someone to oversee the construction and facilities."

The facilities in the castle were incomplete; apart from the Council Hall, the rest were in a semi-ruined state and needed to be refurbished to function normally.

Zi Liyuan had just taken over the town, so the entire castle had transformed to suit the habitation of death-related beings.

Upon taking over the castle, five recruitment buildings for the Undead Species had appeared within the city: Desolate Bone Graveyard, Mass Grave, Haunted House, Rakshasa Hall, and Netherworld.

Desolate Bone Graveyard recruited common subjects, elite-quality Skeleton laborers, not of any ranked corps.

Mass Grave recruited common monsters, elite-quality Zombies, a First Tier corps.

Haunted House similarly recruited common monsters, elite-quality Ghosts, a Second Tier corps.

Rakshasa Hall recruited BOSS monsters, the rare Asura Warriors, a Third Tier corps.

Netherworld also recruited BOSSes, the hero-quality Ox-head, Horse-face, Black Impermanence, and White Impermanence, a Fourth Tier corps.

However, recruits were not possible at the moment. Some special materials were required to refurbish and truly activate them.
