With the protection of the Undead Guard, the Wanbao Pavilion caravan traveled unimpeded, quickly completing half of their planned route.
The remaining half was the return route, which was relatively safer as it passed through wealthier worlds.
However, the space pirates lurking there were also far more dangerous.
They were the elite among pirates, with some even reaching the Eternal-tier.
The myriad worlds were vast and filled with all kinds of people. While an Eternal-tier powerhouse could be a venerated emperor in any world, there were always those who preferred the life of a bandit.
Fortunately, the Starry Sky Star Corridors in this region were patrolled by guards from nearby worlds and major powers.
The worlds and factions in these wealthy regions possessed strength that could not be underestimated.
As long as one paid a fee, they could travel through the Starry Sky Star Corridors under their protection, significantly reducing the risk of encountering space pirates.
One could even pay extra for insurance; in the event of a robbery, they would receive a certain amount of compensation.
But the Wanbao Pavilion caravan had no intention of taking those protected corridors.
Under Chen Xu's instructions, Big Boss had changed the route to a free one.
The goal was to engage in constant practical combat, training the undead army's application of the Undead Network during war.
At the same time, it was to collect materials. Space pirates were composed of members from various worlds and every imaginable race.
Chen Xu needed a large number of different races to perform creation and mold the undead of the new era.
Star Lord and Miracle were only the beginning; there were many more high-potential new undead waiting for Chen Xu to create them.
For instance, he recently had an idea to merge Angel Light Rain with Demon Essence Blood to see if he could create a new creature possessing both bloodlines.
Unfortunately, these two powers were as incompatible as fire and water, appearing as two extremes of the world. Even with the assistance of the power of creation to slightly buffer the conflict, the two forces simply would not merge.
Chen Xu urgently needed to find a third party capable of making the two compatible to realize this grand plan.
While the Angel and Demon project was not progressing smoothly, the promotion of the 【Necrotic Archmage Tower】 was exceptionally successful.
The Wanbao Pavilion caravan met almost no obstacles. As soon as the hegemonic civilizations within those worlds heard that this mage tower recorded the legacy of a magic civilization, they agreed to the placement request without the slightest hesitation.
Some even wanted to pay more to have the Wanbao Pavilion place several more mage towers, but they were all refused by the caravan captain.
Boss Big Boss had issued a strict order: only one tower per world. This was the command of the great Lord of the Undead, and a lowly caravan captain like him wouldn't dare have even a single thought of his own.
As the Necrotic Archmage Tower was promoted, a tower-climbing craze swept through the myriad worlds.
Furthermore, because Chen Xu had granted access to the Undead Network to all challengers who cleared the tenth floor, a massive number of transcendents from across the worlds flooded into the network.
The two true spirits, Yan Ruyu and Huangjinwu, had also joined forces to build a dedicated Mage Tower Forum on the Undead Network for these challengers to communicate.
Their purpose was merely to monitor any bugs discovered by the challengers to facilitate optimization.
However, this unintentional act became the spark that ignited the explosion of the tower-climbing craze.
Initially, the transcendents thought this Undead Network, named Miracle, was merely a built-in mental connection for the magical tower that only functioned within its walls.
But gradually, they began to discover that the Undead Network could still be accessed even after leaving the mage tower, as if it had become parasitic to their souls.
This discovery nearly terrified the transcendents. In the world of cultivation, anything related to the soul was a major concern.
A parasitic soul was considered no different from being dead.
Later, however, some powerhouses specializing in souls discovered that the Undead Network did not achieve its connection through parasitism, but rather through a far more advanced method.
Dao principles. Only the power of Dao principles could produce such a wondrous phenomenon that could be called a miracle.
It was no wonder the name of this mysterious network was Miracle.
Subsequently, those transcendents discovered that the users on the Undead Network were not just creatures from their own world, but also from other worlds.
This revelation left the transcendents even more awestruck by the network's wonders.
Following this, the traffic on the Undead Network increased dramatically.
Curiosity is something possessed by all living beings; it is what drives them to grow, to evolve, and to become transcendent.
Transcendents naturally lacked no curiosity. Every one of them was curious about the social structures, transcendent systems, and resources of other worlds.
Curiosity made the Undead Network explode in popularity, but it was competitiveness that made the mage tower the core of the network's discussions.
Yan Ruyu and Huangjinwu, having gained inspiration from somewhere after returning to the Undead Dao Court and then leaving again, created a leaderboard on the Undead Network.
【Necrotic Archmage Tower Completion Leaderboard】
This leaderboard consisted of an individual ranking and a world ranking.
The individual ranking displayed the personal information of the top ten thousand challengers, including the world they belonged to.
The world ranking was divided into three metrics: the number of world climbers, the average world floor reached, and the number of world climbers in the top ten thousand.
Once the leaderboard was established, a new section began to dominate the network's traffic alongside knowledge sharing and daily gossip.
Debate posts!
At every moment, people were posting massive numbers of threads comparing the rankings. Worlds with high rankings would belittle those with lower rankings.
Meanwhile, those whose worlds had poor overall rankings but high individual rankings would fight back.
In short, under this atmosphere of heated discussion, the Undead Network and the 【Necrotic Archmage Tower】 became the common hot topics of the myriad worlds.
Some worlds that were not on the trade route even used their various connections to find Wanbao Pavilion and Big Boss, seeking projections of the mage tower and quotas for the Undead Network.
This situation exceeded Chen Xu's expectations, but he was more than happy to see it. With a wave of his hand, he gave Big Boss another batch of mage towers, allowing him to satisfy the demands of all the factions that came knocking.
What truly shocked Chen Xu, however, was that Li Taiji also came to find him—specifically, his incarnation.
“Daoist friend, I have recently heard that you have caused quite a stir in the myriad worlds. Something about an Undead Network and a legacy tower?”
“Yes. I didn’t expect such matters to reach your ears, Daoist friend.”
“Haha, your ideas are truly unique. I and several other fellow Daoists found it very interesting and wanted to work together to create a Martial Arts Tower.”
“A legacy artifact is easy enough to craft, but your Miracle network is incredibly profound. We martial artists can see that it contains Dao rhyme and is a miraculous thing, but we cannot replicate it.”
“Therefore, I’ve come to ask if we can host our Martial Arts Tower on your Undead Network as well?”
“Rest assured, those friends of mine are all wealthy. I’ve already helped you drive a hard bargain; the price they offered is definitely steep enough.”
As Li Taiji spoke, he even used his hand like a blade, making a fierce chopping motion.
‘Chen Xu’ shook his head with a light laugh and agreed to Li Taiji’s request.
After being enhanced by his talent, Miracle’s network capacity had increased greatly, and it had currently reached only one-third of its limit.
Furthermore, as more Dao principles were added in the future, the capacity of Miracle would continue to double.
Chen Xu certainly wouldn't refuse such a win-win situation; the more, the better.
Once the user base grew large enough, there would be even more ways to harvest them waiting in line.
This necrotic sickle would strike through the network world, ignoring the limitations of space, to reap all transcendent beings across the myriad worlds.
