The light radiating from Miracle filled the entire Dao layer of the Undead Dao Court.
The light grew increasingly blinding, accompanied by endless waves of energy.
Miracle's advancement caused the Undead Network to temporarily shut down. All network users were forcefully logged out, and they swarmed into the mage tower to query Huangjinwu and Yan Ruyu.
By now, the Undead Network had developed to the point where a vast number of transcendents had become dependent on it.
They relied on the network to record experimental data, communicate and seek guidance across realms, and use skills from the network in battle to develop all kinds of flashy combat styles.
The sudden crash of the Undead Network made them highly uncomfortable and even left them completely at a loss.
Faced with these furious challengers, Huangjinwu and Yan Ruyu were also completely helpless.
The Necrotic Archmage Tower and the Undead Network were two different departments, each with its own responsibilities. If they wanted to complain, why did they come to them?
Besides, Lord Miracle was about to advance to the Eternal Rank. Although they were all colleagues serving their Lord, there was still a hierarchy among beasts of burden; an Eternal Rank beast of burden was simply far superior to a mythic-tier one.
Therefore, the two artifact spirits did not dare to speak ill of Miracle behind its back. They could only beat around the bush and try to distract the protesters.
Fortunately, the Undead Network soon returned to normal and opened once again. Once they noticed the network was back online, the crowd left the mage tower.
Within the Undead Dao Court, Miracle had already released its embrace, separating the Exquisite Heart from the network and gently pushing it toward Chen Xu.
The aura radiating from Miracle was now unmistakably of the Eternal Rank. Its advancement was actually somewhat similar to Zhenyuan's Ginseng Fruit Tree—effortless, natural, and without any barriers, like water flowing into a channel.
Flideng, who had entered the advancement state before Miracle, was still maintaining his state within the Overlord's Palace of the Elemental Spirit Realm.
Chen Xu put away the Exquisite Heart and casually assigned it to Bone Guard Two.
Bone Guard Two, the hunting expert, seemed to have targeted a massive prey recently. He had been planning for a while and had even dragged Patchwerk into it.
He had also told Chen Xu that if the hunt went smoothly, perhaps both he and Patchwerk could cross the threshold together and step directly into the Eternal Rank.
Thus, Chen Xu assigned the Exquisite Heart to him, hoping it would provide some assistance to Bone Guard Two.
After returning the Exquisite Heart, Miracle immediately constructed several peculiar devices within the Dao layer.
With a quick sweep of his gaze, Chen Xu discovered that the number of devices matched the exact number of worlds he had just invaded using the necrotic Dao principles.
“Miracle, are these devices you are assembling meant to be placed in the worlds below that were invaded by the necrotic Dao principles?”
Miracle replied as it continued its assembly.
“Yes, my Lord. After your necrotic Dao principles invaded those worlds, I can also extend along those principles into their Dao layers.
These devices act as transit transceivers, which can significantly expand the coverage of the Undead Network.
At the same time, these devices also serve as my sub-systems. The more sub-systems I have, the faster my computing power will be.
But a single world can only support a limited number of sub-systems. The fluctuations generated by overloaded computing would interfere with each other, so it is best to place only one sub-system per world.”
Chen Xu nodded. Now that Miracle had advanced to the Eternal Rank and Flideng was also in the middle of his advancement...
Among the Ten Yin Lords Plan, only Patchwerk, Bone Guard Two, and the Source of the Plague remained.
Soon, Miracle transmitted these devices into the Dao layers of the various worlds. With the ripple of an invisible wave, the devices embedded themselves into the worlds and began running at full speed.
With ten high-speed computing sub-systems running, the light of wisdom once again shone in Miracle's eyes.
Without Chen Xu's research orders this time, it went back to tinkering with its self-created skills.
Seeing it so interested, Chen Xu did not stop it. Recalling the description of its 【Creative AI】 talent, perhaps Miracle would bring him a massive surprise.
Thus, Chen Xu simply gave a brief instruction.
“Miracle, still pay some attention to anything related to Hell.”
“Understood, my Lord!”
Afterward, Chen Xu sensed Bone Guard Two's location, opened a spatial gate, and stepped into the Cosmic Sea.
“My Lord,”
Bone Guard Two dismounted from the soul beast Hades and bowed to Chen Xu.
Nearby, Patchwerk was facing the endless void, repeatedly throwing out his hooks as if searching for something.
Chen Xu released his mental strength, covering the entire surrounding stellar region. Soon, he discovered a peculiar creature.
It was an insect that resembled a dragonfly, with three pairs of wings on its back, a long proboscis on its head, and ten insect legs lined with sharp teeth on its abdomen.
Most peculiar of all was an indented special organ at its tail. Under Chen Xu's perception, this special organ was continuously releasing a unique substance that enveloped the insect.
It was precisely because of this unique substance that the insect could completely conceal its form on both physical and mental levels, making it impossible for Bone Guard Two and Patchwerk to lock onto it.
Only Chen Xu, relying on his rank suppression, could barely perceive its location.
Chen Xu turned his head to look at Bone Guard Two.
“Is this the Starry Sky Phantom Bug you mentioned? An insect that looks like a dragonfly?”
Bone Guard Two nodded and replied.
“Yes, my Lord. Although I cannot see it, there should only be one astral behemoth in this vicinity. The Starry Sky Phantom Bug is extremely domineering; it will not tolerate any other astral behemoths in its territory.
Please lay down a restriction, my Lord, to trap this Starry Sky Phantom Bug. Patchwerk and I will handle the rest of the hunt.”
“Very well.”
Chen Xu raised his right hand, and his World Dao quickly expanded. Instantly, an independent space was generated, trapping Patchwerk, Bone Guard Two, and the insect inside.
He himself remained outside this space, observing the hunt from a god-like perspective.
Upon discovering it was trapped in a special space, the Starry Sky Phantom Bug panicked and flapped its wings at high speed, trying to escape.
However, Bone Guard Two did not rush to begin the hunt. Instead, he placed his spear on the ground, knelt upon it, raised his hands high, and chanted an incantation, seemingly performing some sort of ritual.
Hades sat obediently to the side. Once Bone Guard Two finished chanting, the soul beast stepped forward, stuck out its tongue, and snapped Bone Guard Two's spine with a single jerk, pouring the marrow inside onto the spear.
In the next instant, the spear glowed with a strange light. From it, Chen Xu could smell the scent of death and fate.
Immediately after, Hades wrapped its tongue around the spear and leaped onto Patchwerk's shoulder.
Ten pairs of multi-colored dragon wings instantly erupted from Patchwerk's broad back, and three large holes tore open near his backside, spewing out some high-speed airflow to propel himself forward.
With these various enhancements, his speed reached an astronomical level.
Hades carefully balanced the spear with its tongue. Guided by fate, the spear locked onto the Starry Sky Phantom Bug's position.
Patchwerk continuously adjusted his flight path, pursuing the Starry Sky Phantom Bug.
A tense and thrilling chase thus began.
Chen Xu watched with great interest; battles of these lower realms were indeed more entertaining to watch.
However, a message from Heaven ruined his mood.
【Alifa: Your Excellency Chen Xu, something has happened in the Xufa Great World.】
