Volume 11: The Crown Prince Chapter 27: After running away, is it a virtue to block the way for those who come after you?
The expected conflict did not occur. The misguided incarnation appeared in the territory of the Skeleton King, but did not do anything excessive. Instead, after contacting the Skeleton King, he left.
Afterwards , Liu Bai was summoned by the Bone King again.
As for Lu Bai, he had already taken this opportunity to start daydreaming.
At this moment, the scenery of the kingdom of no death is in full view.
Undead spirits are everywhere. They are bound by the rules of the kingdom of no death. They cannot die even if they want to. They can only suffer endlessly, while the potential of their souls is constantly drained.
Only a few individuals, because they were exploited too much, were finally squeezed dry, and their souls could no longer maintain their own existence, and returned to their most primitive state.
But this is not the end. Even if the soul is drained dry and killed, there will still be ways to extract the person's consciousness, and then begin to activate this consciousness, turning it into a soulless light, and use it as material to forge various magic weapons.
Similar means of exploitation can be found everywhere here. There are undead everywhere, and the few living creatures are all newborns under ten years old.
Most of them are incomplete and have long lost their potential to be alive.
Now they are just further squeezing the power of life. Once it is squeezed to the extreme, they will be transformed into undead, and then the squeezing will continue.
This is the case in most areas of the Deathless Kingdom, where these undead factories are everywhere.
Apart from this, other places are brightly lit.
These "nobles" whose bodies have become necromancy hold endless parties in a city.
It is said that this gathering has been held for more than one hundred and twenty years.
The host of the party is a powerful being from another dimension. He successfully sold out his hometown dimension, sacrificing most of the lives therein, in exchange for a large amount of authority and bonds from the Deathless Kingdom.
And those undead factories outside all belong to him. They are transformed from countless compatriots from his previous dimensional world.
With this, he can spend money recklessly and live in luxury in the kingdom of no death.
In this never-ending party, there are a large number of servants working 24 hours a day to clean up and serve wine, food and beauties.
The whole city is a gathering place. The streets and every room are part of the party.
Countless free people with a certain status in the Kingdom of No Death can directly attend this party without paying any ticket fees.
Countless people celebrated wildly here, and then negotiated deals during the celebration.
It is precisely because of this that party hosts have made a fortune by relying on this huge platform.
Of course, there were also some free people who, after entering the party, had no intention of enjoying themselves, but were anxiously looking for any opportunity to change their own destiny.
Because if they failed, the debt relationship would deprive them of their status as free citizens.
Once this identity is stripped away, they will become slaves of the Kingdom of No Death.
People around can use them at will, and they just need to pay a rental fee to the Kingdom of No Death.
This is also the reason why the host of the party is not afraid of those people who barely have the status of free citizens hiding here and eating and drinking for free.
Everyone in the kingdom of no death has debts, some of which even extend to future generations.
Many people are sold out as soon as they are born, and this is the norm for most people.
The debt weighs on them, forcing them to move forward under countless pressures. Only people like the host of the party can enjoy themselves with peace of mind.
Every day, a large number of slaves are produced here.
There are not only these free people who are on the verge of bankruptcy, but also many people with considerable wealth.
Most of them were similar to the host of the party. They came to the kingdom of no death after sacrificing a certain place in their hometown or a certain number of people.
In the kingdom of no death, they obtained a lot of initial funds by relying on the sacrifices of their people.
And these initial funds must not be kept in your pocket and allowed to depreciate, otherwise you will become penniless before long.
A wealth non-circulation tax unique to the country without death.
They have to find a way to make a living.
As for platforms like gatherings, any free citizen can come, so naturally there will be good and bad people there.
There are all kinds of high-quality businesses, but there is also no shortage of money-swindlers, and they make up the majority.
There are countless scams, gambling games and other types of games here, and many of them are even set up by the party hosts themselves just to kill pigs.
Beneath this seemingly brightly lit and prosperous gathering, there is a mountain of corpses piled up with countless filth and stench.
After investigating for a while, Lu Bai chose a free man who looked dazed and possessed him, and instantly took away his consciousness.
This free man is called Yu, and he is also a ruthless person in his original dimension world.
As the second son of a noble family, he had no inheritance rights.
However, he accidentally came into contact with the art of necromancy, which gave rise to different ambitions in him.
Relying on this secret technique, he killed his brother, imprisoned his father, and took possession of his sister-in-law and his father's wives and concubines, becoming the local lord.
Unfortunately, this matter was exposed later.
Therefore, he was immediately led by the temple messenger of the Demon Temple to attack.
He knew his own weight, so before the punitive team arrived, he sacrificed everyone in the territory and activated the power of the Impure Land - a loan version of the Deathless Kingdom.
While successfully escaping to the kingdom without death, he also brought a large number of undead slaves with him.
However, if he couldn't run away in his own world, he couldn't do it in the kingdom of no death either.
After several attempts to start a business, he failed and was defrauded of most of his funds.
For this reason, he had to come to this never-ending party to look for opportunities.
Otherwise, the horrific taxation would take away his last bit of funds and then deprive him of his status as a freeman.
While Lu Bai was reading the other person's memory, he began to think about some of the information he had collected before.
"The people of the Undead Cult are too active." The incarnation of Lost Path of No Return came to find the Skeleton King, and the two discussed some things.
Since there is no conflict, the matter being discussed must be related to several other top forces.
As Lu Bai collected information, he discovered that what the Bone King and Qi Tu discussed was most likely related to the Undead Cult.
The Cult of the Dead hasn't had a good time these past few years.
Because of the unwillingness to accept the resentment and the principle of death gathering, most of the resources of the Necromancer were concentrated on the leader of the Necromancer.
He successfully walked away, leaving behind the Undead Cult which was almost a hollow shell at that time.
If the Undead Cult wasn't so large, the Deathless Kingdom would not have been able to watch it collapse and would have provided rescue services.
I'm afraid the Cult of the Dead has completely gone bankrupt.
Over the years, they have managed to recover somewhat thanks to their size and some remaining foundation.
But what's the use of recovering, especially for the unlucky guy who inherited the Necromancer and became the new Necromancer leader.
The first leader of the Necromancer, he signed an agreement with the Impure Land in the name of the Necromancer, together with the Kingdom of No Death and others.
The other party took advantage of a loophole in the agreement and threw all the debts onto the Undead Cult, getting away with it while also unethically blocking the way for those who would come later.
Now the Necromancer Cult is a lifelong system, and there is no option to leave the cult, including for him, the second Necromancer leader.
The debt has bound them tightly with the help of the cause and effect of the necromancy.
The second leader of the Undead Cult was also a pretty strong man. He joined the Undead Cult because they were the most powerful force in the Kingdom of No Death.
As a result, after joining, I did enjoy the sect's benefits for a period of time, and my status became higher and higher.
He has become the new leader!
This kind of thing would make him angry to death more than three times.
There is no exaggeration here. The second leader of the Undead Cult was indeed angered to death at least three times after he succeeded to the position of leader in a confused manner.
Nowadays, the unusual movements of the Undead Cult have naturally attracted the attention of many people.
Although the first leader's immoral deeds successfully made it difficult for the later members of the Undead Cult to escape easily, they did have an example of how they escaped.
The first leader also made some arrangements to escape with the help of the Undead Cult.
One can't help but wonder whether the Undead Cult still retains some of the arrangements that the first leader used to escape.
Learning from the experiences of successful people is the shortcut to success.
The Bone King and others had plundered the Undead Cult in the past, but all they got were some trivial details.
The successful experience and some more important things they longed for were not presented to them at all.
"Now that the Undead Cult is making unusual moves, it's hard to say whether the second cult leader has found something."
“So, King White Bone, Wuguitu and others also heard the news and took action.”
“That’s probably the whole picture.”
"Right now, the host of this undispersed gathering is a member of the Necromancer Cult, and with his considerable financial resources, he holds a high position in the Necromancer Cult."
This is why Lu Bai came to this party and infiltrated the body of an unknown person.
It’s not that Lu Bai doesn’t want to sneak into the bodies of some people with high status and control everything about them.
Unfortunately, people with high status here also have a lot of debts, and the higher the status, the more debts they have.
These debts bound them, but also protected them, defined their identities, and made them extremely closely connected to the Kingdom of No Death.
Now that he is in the interior of the Kingdom of No Death, Lu Bai is in the early stages of his development, so it is better for him to be cautious.
You know , the kingdom of no death has already developed dimensional will.
Although the dimensional world itself is full of loopholes and has become a dilapidated giant ship, a giant ship is still a giant ship. With the power of the Impure World, the dimensional will has long surpassed the normal day level.
Otherwise, the Bone King and others would have united to attack the dimensional will, dug out the alliance contracts in its collection, and terminated them.
Controlling the other party at will may bring all kinds of conveniences in the early stages, but it may also leave traces and allow the Kingdom of No Death to discover problems.
