Withered Reincarnation could not understand what was happening before his eyes.
He wanted to stop it, but he had already become a prisoner eternally confined within the Well of Eternal Imprisonment; he had neither the right nor the ability to resist.
The Well of Eternal Imprisonment.
The Well of Eternal Imprisonment!
What kind of hellhole was this!
Everything here, even to an evil god like him, seemed far too bizarre!
Intelligent monsters, prison-like spatial barriers, the crazed and eerie Forbidden Fire, and shackles that bound his evil god power—shackles that even his power could not destroy.
And then there was the creature before him, something so bizarre it shouldn't even exist in this world, a creature that even he, an evil god, could not understand.
No, it was an unknown existence!
What on earth was this thing, and what kind of place was the Well of Eternal Imprisonment!
What was imprisoned here? What was sealed away!
Withered Reincarnation felt as though he had fallen into a demon's den; his entire future had become an unknown.
He had simply followed his vessel to a run-down, small-scale dungeon on the border.
Then, he was suddenly transported while inside the city.
He had barely woken up and hadn't even figured out what was going on before two women gave him a savage beating.
He had no choice but to manifest further, only to be transported again.
Once again, before he could understand the situation, he was thrashed once more.
He was an evil god, the symbol of death, Withered Reincarnation!
At that moment, he felt like a stray dog on the side of the road; on his way to the latrine, before he could even get a taste of a warm meal, he had been stuffed into a sack and beaten senseless.
How could he endure such a thing? He had no choice but to use the Book of Death as a medium to fully manifest his power.
And then he was tossed into a cell, shackled, and sealed away with a simple remark that his power was "too dangerous."
Nothing about this felt right.
When did the mortal realm become so dangerous!
“Stop! Stop at once!”
“I will give you the Book of Death! Just let me go! I am willing to grant you power! I will give you the blessing of death!”
“Damn it, let me go! Release me!”
Withered Reincarnation seemed unable to bear Dalun Li learning the knowledge within the Book of Death, and he struggled frantically.
However, as a prisoner eternally confined within the Well of Eternal Imprisonment, any struggle was futile.
Dalun Li continued to voraciously learn the knowledge within the Book of Death right in front of Withered Reincarnation.
Withered Reincarnation could only watch helplessly as his knowledge—knowledge that no one had ever been able to master—was learned bit by bit.
His knowledge was being squeezed out of him piece by piece.
And he could only watch, powerless to do anything about it.
This unknown existence was a devil!
At this moment, Withered Reincarnation already viewed Dalun Li as a fellow evil god.
The high-speed learning could not last long; soon, the Eternal Imprisonment Brain sent out a high-load warning.
Dalun Li was forced to disengage from the overloaded state and continue learning the contents of the Book of Death in the Well of Eternal Imprisonment's normal mode.
The knowledge that had been as easy to swallow as warm porridge once again became obscure.
However, under Dalun Li's brilliant external brain, it was still being understood little by little.
It was far better than the state where it had been completely incomprehensible.
Dalun Li glanced at Withered Reincarnation, left a plant clone that grew an eyeball to continue learning there, and then transferred back to the 17th floor.
Gazing at the towering Eternal Imprisonment Brain before him, Dalun Li transferred it into a hidden floor.
How could he just leave his external peerless wisdom out in the open?
It definitely had to be hidden.
After transferring the Eternal Imprisonment Brain to the hidden floor, Dalun Li began to experiment with the death power he had just acquired.
The death knowledge from Withered Reincarnation was of an exceptionally high grade; after all, this power originated from the knowledge of an evil god.
Consequently, it was extremely difficult to master.
Withered Reincarnation's death power was not purely about death; it was a form of death that contained a sliver of vitality.
Currently, Dalun Li had only mastered the basics and could only use this death power to strengthen his own undead abilities.
In this world, knowledge itself possessed power.
This high-grade death power, combined with Dalun Li's own undead power, brought his previous plan to mind.
Resurrecting that giant snake skeleton.
He transferred to the hidden floor of the 17th floor and gazed at the massive buried skeleton.
It was impossible to resurrect the entire skeleton at once; what Dalun Li wanted to do was to proceed with the resurrection step by step, bit by bit.
He would continue until he could use undead power to transform the entire snake skeleton into a monster of the Well of Eternal Imprisonment and then resurrect it.
When that time came, he would be able to obtain all the power of this snake skeleton.
Dalun Li walked up to a single segment of the snake bone.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step; he would start with this one bone.
Though it was only one bone, given the sheer size of the giant snake skeleton, this single piece was already equivalent to a massive white pillar.
Dalun Li activated his ability, using his own strength to channel death power to amplify his undead power.
He then infused the death-power-augmented undead power into the snake bone before him.
This snake bone, which had been dead for who knows how long, finally began to erupt with a terrifying power.
Dalun Li resisted the pressure emanating from the bone, struggling to maintain the infusion of undead power as it permeated the pillar-like segment.
A massive amount of power was consumed until the entire segment was transformed by Dalun Li's strength.
The pillar-like bone seemed insignificant compared to the rest of the skeleton.
Yet, it filled Dalun Li with excitement.
It was indeed possible; the death power from Withered Reincarnation's godhood could indeed resurrect the snake bone before him.
However, with his current mastery of death power, the limit was resurrecting only this one bone.
He was still a long way from achieving his goal.
Still, what use was a single resurrected snake bone?
Dalun Li sensed the power within the bone.
Now that it had been resurrected by high-grade undead power, the energy contained within the snake bone had also been awakened.
To Dalun Li's surprise, the power within this snake bone was actually spatial power.
Had this giant snake specialized in spatial abilities when it was alive?
In addition to space, there were also smaller portions of water and lightning attributes.
Furthermore, their grade was extremely high, far beyond ordinary elemental power.
It just so happened that the spatial attribute power could complement his current treasure grade magical artifact, the Collapsed Atmosphere.
He could use the snake bone in battle through summoning.
Dalun Li decided to test it out and transferred himself to the 17th floor.
He then activated his ability, summoning the single resurrected snake bone!
The massive snake bone plunged into the ground like a pillar, piercing through the rotting swamp.
He had not summoned the physical bone itself.
Since the bone possessed spatial power, what he had summoned was merely a projection of its spatial energy.
The summoned snake bone not only possessed immense defensive power but could also deliver spatial, water, and lightning attacks.
Dalun Li infused mana into the bone, causing it to erupt with bolts of lightning that struck out ahead.
Seeing the power of the snake bone, an idea instantly flashed through his mind.
The snake skeleton was simply too massive; relying solely on the knowledge from the Book of Death, the amount of death power required to resurrect the entire skeleton would be astronomical.
If he relied only on himself, he had no idea how long it would take to gather enough death power to resurrect the entire giant snake.
With the current critical situation in the Northern Territory, he needed power to deal with the crisis.
Therefore, he might as well squeeze a bit more out of the adventurers.
He would have adventurers enter into contracts with the resurrected snake bone, using their strength to slowly resurrect the entire skeleton.
At the same time, through the contract, he would extract the death power generated when the adventurers died.
Dalun Li quickly drafted the contract and created a monster card for the snake bone.
Unlike ordinary monster cards, the snake bone card was a special card.
It was silver in color, with a snake-scale patterned border along the edges, depicting a pure white snake bone.
The card had no rank, and the contract conditions were as follows:
Provide a daily mana supply to maintain the contract.
Upon death, the death power would belong to the snake bone—though there was no need to explicitly state this clause.
As for the upgrade method for the snake bone card: death power.
By sacrificing items containing death power to the card and accumulating it to a certain level, the snake bone could be upgraded.
