As soon as the announcement was released, the Undead Network instantly reached a boiling point.
The refugees, whose homelands had been conquered by the Church of Pain and who had been forced to seek asylum within the Necrotic Archmage Tower, were especially excited.
They flocked to the forum, tagging their posts with to describe the state of their respective civilizations, as well as information regarding the scale, number, and power levels of the Church of Pain’s experts.
Miracle worked behind the scenes to push these posts, boosting their visibility to attract more transcendents to read them.
At the same time, it used one of its own accounts to post a data summary, integrating all the scattered pieces of information.
The data post used civilizations as the basic unit, detailing their current conditions, the layouts within their worlds, the scale of the Church of Pain, and the number of powerful experts present.
Through cross-verification, it even produced a list of common skills used by the Church of Pain, along with counter-strategies inferred by Miracle itself.
Miracle’s account was named 【Data Creates Miracles】, and it was a recognized data master on the forum.
It often used this method to guide the actions of the transcendents.
For these transcendents, who wouldn't move without a clear incentive, it was difficult to mobilize their enthusiasm without first giving them a taste of the benefits.
If Miracle wanted to spread a certain skill, it would create comparison charts, matching the promoted skill against other commonly used ones to demonstrate its advantages.
Just like when it promoted the skeleton hero summoning ritual, Miracle had produced a comparison chart over a thousand pages long before the skeleton heroes were finally popularized.
Sure enough, as soon as these transcendents saw a post by 【Data Creates Miracles】, they clicked on it immediately.
【Please Call Me Top Scholar: Holy crap, Boss Miracle’s movements are as swift as ever. To think he integrated all this information so quickly; this speed is ten thousand times faster than all the corporate slaves in my lab put together.】
【Black Magic Master: Boss Miracle is likely a grandmaster of pure theoretical research. The speed and professionalism of his data integration are breathtaking.】
【Young God of Magic: Oh my god, are there really this many civilizations being ravaged by the Church of Pain right now?】
【AAA Top-tier Staff Customization: I took a rough look, and it seems like your civilization is the most miserable, God of Magic. Tsk, tsk. Usually, you boast about how amazing your world is, but I didn't expect it to be so fragile. Good thing I’m experienced; I’m glad I didn't take that big order from you last time.】
【Young God of Magic: Are we miserable because we lack strength? Don't you see how many mythic-tier Popes of Pain have appeared here?】
【AAA Top-tier Staff Customization: Huh? God of Magic, your world actually has Mana-Gushing Gray Trees? And in such massive quantities that they’ve formed a forest? Wait, why aren't there any mage factions nearby? Is your civilization not harvesting such top-tier resources?】
【Young God of Magic: What are Mana-Gushing Gray Trees?】
【AAA Top-tier Staff Customization: ......】
【Please Call Me Top Scholar: The God of Magic’s civilization is young; they’re currently in a stage of focusing solely on themselves. They haven't yet entered the next stage of balanced development between people and resources. Their alchemy and crafting levels are a complete mess.】
【AAA Top-tier Staff Customization: I see. What a waste of such a large Mana-Gushing Gray Tree forest.】
【AAA Top-tier Magic Accessory Customization: Old John, do you want to team up?】
【AAA Top-tier Staff Customization: Team up? For the Mana-Gushing Gray Tree forest? Private message me!】
【Young God of Magic: Hey! What’s with you two equipment peddlers? That’s our civilization’s property!】
【Please Call Me Top Scholar: Little Brother God of Magic, your civilization doesn't have the capacity to develop those resources anyway. Just consider it a fee to ward off disaster. Look on the bright side—these equipment peddlers really will fight to drive back the Church of Pain for the sake of top-tier raw materials.】
【Young God of Magic: Ah? Are these merchants really that powerful?】
【Black Magic Master: AAA is a massive equipment trading conglomerate. They don't just sell equipment for mages; they have gear and items for Martial Artists, knights, cultivators, Beast Tamers, and priests. If it’s related to transcendents, you can find it in their group.】
【Please Call Me Top Scholar: The Church of Pain in your civilization shouldn't be a problem now. The AAA Group’s Guardian Army is not to be trifled with. It’s the worlds without good resources that are truly pitiful. Who would risk their lives against a strange cult just for a few mage tower benefits?】
【Data Creates Miracles: [Image][Image][Image] The rewards for this event are quite good. A full legendary-tier set—the rare dark-attribute Shadow Mage set.】
To entice these profit-driven transcendents into participating, Miracle had no choice but to take one of Chen Yan’s practice pieces from Undead Heavenly Crafts—a legendary-tier Shadow Mage set.
By posting photos of the set along with its set effects, Miracle used the visual appeal to lure the transcendents.
Just as Miracle expected, the backend monitoring showed the click-through rate for those equipment images skyrocketing.
【Please Call Me Top Scholar: Top Scholar Squad recruiting. Target: XX Civilization. Currently 3 members, need 5 more. Preferably earth, wind, or water mages. Requirement: legendary-tier or above.】
【Black Magic Master: Witch Squad recruiting. Target: XXX Civilization. Currently 8 members. Looking for one light-attribute or ice-attribute legendary-tier mage, plus one local native to serve as a guide.】
...
【Young God of Magic: @Black Magic Master Great Master, are you coming to our world? Do you think I could join?】
【Black Magic Master: You may.】
The legendary-tier set instantly ignited the transcendents' interest. They began recruiting teammates on the forum, forming squads to head to the worlds invaded by the Church of Pain.
When swarms of transcendents poured into those worlds like locusts, the local Church of Pain forces were instantly routed. Occupied lands were reclaimed, and several Popes were killed.
With the data guide published by Miracle, the transcendents were well-prepared. Aside from the few mythic-tier Popes, fighting the ordinary cult members was as easy as bullying children.
However, the good times did not last. The Church of Pain was indeed sinister, and the transcendents soon realized why this previously obscure little cult had been able to expand so rapidly across various worlds.
【Please Call Me Top Scholar: Something is wrong! Very, very wrong!】
【Black Magic Master: Just who is this Witch of Pain behind the Church of Pain? Every time we kill one mythic-tier Pope, two more appear. We kill two, and four more arrive. They’re endless!】
【Please Call Me Top Scholar: This level of resources and foundation... they don't look like a newly emerged evil god at all. How are we supposed to fight this? It’s impossible!】
【AAA Top-tier Staff Customization: This is a tough nut to crack. Our group is already considering whether to withdraw. We haven't made any money, and we’ve lost a lot of our Guardian Army.】
【Young God of Magic: Don't do that, masters! Please, keep going! Victory is right in front of us!】
Seeing these prominent figures among the transcendents starting to back down, the Young God of Magic was consumed with anxiety. Having finally seen a glimmer of hope for his civilization’s salvation, he couldn't bear to see it extinguished again.
In addition to the Young God of Magic, Chen Xu was also closely monitoring everything happening on the Undead Network.
The Church of Pain’s unnatural speed in producing mythic-tier experts caught Chen Xu’s attention, further fueling his suspicion that this was linked to the Demon King of Pain.
Therefore, Chen Xu intended to intervene, offering these refugees a hand and giving the transcendents a bit of assistance.
In the process, he would bring a little trouble to this Church of Pain, which he suspected was a pawn of Hell.
Within the Elemental Spirit Realm, the ‘Element Overlord’ sat upon his throne. He looked toward the gates of the Overlord's Palace, and elemental power surged forth, throwing the palace doors open.
Then, he channeled his authority to speak to all elements.
“My subjects, Heaven is prominent, Hell is rampant, and the spirit is wanton. Even the Undead have established themselves in the Myriad Worlds, spreading their acrid scent.
“Only we, the Elements, remain obscure, not yet recognized as gods by the Myriad Worlds.
“I, the Overlord of the Elemental Spirit Realm, the supreme Element Overlord, hereby command: From this moment forth, all my subjects shall respond to the summons! Go forth to kill, to conquer, and to spread my glorious name!”
