My portable grandfather refreshes every week

Earth, a parallel world, located in an unknown region of Antarctica.

The vast expanse of ice and snow covers the entire world, and there is virtually no trace of human activity here.

Occasionally, when you first enter Antarctica, you might see a few groups of penguins, seemingly vying to shout something like "recharge QB" (a type of virtual currency). But once you reach the very center of Antarctica, even the shadow of these creatures disappears.

-62 degrees Celsius is alright, no major problem.

Xue Ludao exhaled a long breath, and the exhaled air instantly turned into ice shards that fell onto the slightly hardened snow surface.

Now I am gradually developing in a non-human direction, able to swim on my back in magma, walk in space, and even withstand the pressure of water thousands of meters deep in the ocean without oxygen for nearly an hour.

And in the very center of Antarctica, it seemed that the weather was only slightly cool to him.

Perhaps it's not that I can withstand it, but rather that the void has dulled my senses.
Xue's Law suddenly had this inexplicable idea.

Immediately banishing these random thoughts from his mind, Xue took a few more steps forward and suddenly stepped on something hard.

Could it be some kind of ancient, frozen corpse? Xue's expression instantly became quite varied.

He immediately started digging and, sure enough, unearthed a human corpse with its hands raised.

It must have been a white male, wearing clothes with the French flag printed on them. In his last moments of being frozen, he raised his hands as if trying to shout something.

If it weren't for the plant patterns on his body, Xue Luding wouldn't have realized what was going on.

He was supposed to be an Antarctic research worker from France, but he had just been parasitized by the Divine Tree, causing his entire being to be mutated. However, before this mutation was over, he was blown away by the light that Xue's Law transformed into, along with Brinton and the Divine Tree.

Therefore, he also ended the alienation and returned to normal, but the rollercoaster-like fluctuations in his body made it impossible for him to endure the sub-zero temperatures of over sixty degrees Celsius, and he froze to death there...

Xue Dinglu apologized in his heart and silently buried the researcher in the snow, planning to take him away when he returned, or at least bring him back to the research station in Fran.

After walking a while longer...

“Let’s do it here. Perhaps this will have the least impact on the world,” Xue Dinglu said.

Operation against the Eighth Apostle has officially begun!

He actually chose two locations: one was Point Nemo, located in the very center of the Pacific Ocean, and the other was the South Pole.

Ultimately, he still chose this place as the battlefield. Although Point Nemo in the Pacific Ocean was more remote, Xue's Law was not yet certain whether a battle in the very center of the ocean would cause a massive tsunami and earthquake that would submerge the nearest countries.

Despite the fact that the nearest country to Nemo's Point is more than 2,000 kilometers away, Xue's Law still refuses to gamble.

Ultimately, the South Pole was chosen as the final battlefield for this operation against the Eighth Apostle.

If conditions permit, Xue's Law would not like to fight on Earth, not even on a parallel Earth.

But only here can he unleash the power of home-field operations, and this is where he is safest.

Perhaps the only safest place in the entire universe is near the Mimic King.

"Mom, let's begin," Xue Dinglu said.

In the next instant, Earth's consciousness began preparing the ritual, and Xue Law was also preparing to become an undead here.

The reason for choosing the Antarctic Pole was to prevent the viruses or curses I would spread after becoming an undead from drifting to other strange places, which might cause irreversible damage to this world again.

"Thank you, Mom..." Xue Dinglu said.

He reasoned with the Earth's consciousness, explaining the ten advantages and ten disadvantages, and recounted all his experiences with the Eighth Apostle before his mother finally reluctantly agreed.

The main point is that Earth's consciousness also knows that even if it disagrees, Xue's Law will definitely find a way to complete this plan elsewhere, perhaps in the interstellar column, or perhaps somewhere else.

So it's better to keep things under your nose, at least that way you can cover for them immediately if anything goes wrong.

Even the apostles.

If it only possessed Earth consciousness, then as a planetary consciousness, it could at most detonate this parallel world, and might not necessarily be able to kill the Apostle.

After all, this involves spreading all the power outwards, which isn't concentrated enough. But here, He can enhance Xue's Law without limit, concentrating all the power! Even if an apostle comes, he will surely ensure that the apostle never returns!

Just as the energy of an earthquake is incredibly terrifying, but because the energy of an earthquake is too dispersed, the damage it causes is far less than its energy value. If the energy of a magnitude 7 earthquake were concentrated into a small enough point, that point could even penetrate a planet in an instant.

This is why the Guardians are nearly invincible on their home planet.

The planet is like an enormous beast, but this beast is unable to kill the viruses and bacteria that invade it.

Xue's Law is like a planetary white blood cell, capable of quickly eliminating these viruses and bacteria. In fact, this white blood cell even has a ghost back, and it starts to rotate with electric current.

However, the only thing that Earth consciousness finds somewhat worrisome is that its own white blood cells seem to be on the verge of becoming cosmic white blood cells.

Originally, protecting oneself was enough, but now it is increasingly extending a helping hand to any life in the universe, which is both gratifying and somewhat worrying.

However, it was too late to stop him. The fledgling eagle no longer needed parental guidance; he had his own dreams and future.

"Susu, unfold the Pure Land and fully display Margaret's power," Xue Dinglu continued.

In that instant, Su Su connected with the Great Source of Earth's consciousness through Xue's Law.

Originally, Su Su was actually a world consciousness in terms of her personality, but her final step of merging with Margaret was interrupted by Xue's Law. Although this preserved her original soul, it also resulted in a deficiency in her origin.

That is, Su Su has a position, but no great source.

However, the moment the source of Earth's consciousness connected, Susu immediately gained the complete power of Margaret.

Just as Lao Xue has only just finished digesting the legacy of the Great Sage, Zeus's legacy is probably still undigested. Su Su, belonging to Margaret's legacy, has basically not digested anything; she possesses a treasure trove but doesn't know how to use it.

But now, with Earth's powerful access, a triple nested world has been embedded in an instant: Earth—subspace of consciousness—pure land.

Everything was ready, and Xue's Law moved on to the next step.

He closed his eyes, and the next moment, the undead scourge controlled by the cursed blood instantly spread across his body.

His entire body was undergoing irreversible necromancy; his once vibrant body was rapidly withering and decaying...

"Clap!"

The eyeball fell out of the pupil and landed on the permafrost of Antarctica, where it was instantly frozen into a block of ice by the extreme cold.

When Xue Dinglu opened his eyes again, the soul fire of Youlan ignited in his eye sockets, and the wind and snow seemed to construct an ice throne beneath him. He had completely transformed into an undead!
In an instant, the Antarctic winds and permafrost seemed to cheer, with snow, a throne, and a withered, lifeless spirit on this frigid ground.

In fact, this transformation into an undead did not bring him any pain. Perhaps it was because he had been an undead before, and at that time he even complained that his original script might have been to be transformed into an undead and then start the story of the Bone King (Skeleton King) conquering another world.

And now, he has once again transformed into a ghost without any burden, an ugly, empty ghost devoid of all five senses!

Xue Law transformed all his energy into fel energy for the undead, and in that instant, the energy transmitted a signal at an extremely fast speed through the warp.

Deep within the subspace, the shadow that occupied the entire subspace opened its "eyes" and sensed the unexpected fluctuations emanating from it.

"An apostle has become my kin?" Even the Eighth Apostle was momentarily stunned by this news.

It's like you're at home eating hotpot and singing, and suddenly tons of gold fall from the sky.

Should I accept this unexpected gift from the sky?
The Eighth Apostle began to hesitate. This seemed like a trap, a trap to lure him in.

How could an apostle be so easily hooked and so easily controlled?
The Eighth Apostle was like a fisherman who had been fishing all day but hadn't caught anything. He had just baited the hook when a fish weighing several hundred pounds took the bait, leaving him stunned for a while.

As an apostle, the eighth apostle knew that he was in an in-between position. He looked down on all the apostles after him, and even despised the seventh apostle.

However, compared to the veteran Apostles, this Apostle, who relied on the swarm tactics of the undead Scourge, could not match the quality and quantity of the swarm of Zerg on the 6th, nor could he match the Mind Flayer bred by the 4th in terms of strangeness.

Even for Number 4, it would be extremely difficult to train a subordinate to become a new apostle. Could he really control this apostle so easily?

Number 8, as if holding a hypnosis app in his hand, began to hesitate, wondering if the hypnosis app was real or if it was a prank to trick him.

However, as an apostle, who doesn't possess a few unique skills? He immediately began to trace the origins of Schrödinger's Law through absolute suppression of the dead...

"Huh... Half a year ago, the Lich King of the Pianyuan Galaxy infected him and turned him into an undead. He eventually managed to remove the undead nature through other means, but he still retains the undead essence?" The Eighth Apostle felt for a moment that it was too much of a coincidence.

A guy who was once infected by the undead plague has actually become an apostle? And now, he seems unable to suppress his undead plague, or perhaps he has been affected by something else, causing the suppressed undead plague to backfire?
That's interesting, absolutely fascinating!

The Eighth Apostle could even sense Xue's state when he was first infected with the plague. Was he so weak and vulnerable that I could affect him?
Isn't this heaven helping me? I've gained the assistance of an apostle, complete control, and even all of that apostle's legacy and resources will belong to me.

Even if I fail, I will only lose a few fragments of my soul, which I can divide into thousands upon thousands.

So, I took the gamble!

The eighth apostle still could not resist the temptation to completely control an apostle, and he chose to bet his own chips in this gamble.

The "immortal" authority begins its liberation, with its target: a remote galaxy on the edge of the Milky Way!
The curse of eternal enslavement begins to be applied, and the immortal authority begins to be liberated. The goal is to completely imprint the mark of eternal enslavement on him as soon as possible, making him a lich completely under my control!

In that instant, centered on the authority controlled by the Eighth Apostle, carrying the soul that had been split off from Him, He arrived on Earth through the subspace. In a flash, a terrifying mark of enslavement was imprinted on Xue Lude's soul.

"How could I possibly let you succeed!" In the center of Antarctica, the undead whose eyes had turned into ghostly blue flames roared.

He initially resisted the implementation of the enslavement mark, but the difference in strength was too great, and the enslavement mark continued to erode Xue Lude's soul essence at a certain speed.

However, given this tug-of-war, it will take at least several more days for the Eighth Apostle to fully grasp Xue's Law. But the time for the subspace tide is approaching, which is also their meeting time.

The Eighth Apostle knew that the meeting itself was not the main purpose; rather, this time every seven days was the period when energy was most active in the warp, so it was considered a time for the apostles to practice.

All the years of cultivation he spent elsewhere couldn't compare to the power he gained from spending a few hours in the warp during this period. So, gradually, he developed the habit of holding meetings in the Mist Council every God's Sunday.

Therefore, he did not want to delay until the next God's Day. Although for him, the increase in strength from each subspace psionic tide was not significant, and it might take tens of thousands of years of consistent training to achieve a noticeable improvement.

But this is a gradual process, and He will not give up any means to become stronger.

So, now that it's confirmed the thirteenth apostle is completely undead, and he knows everything about him, his choice is...

跟！
Increase the infusion of souls to enhance the effect of the eternal enslavement mark!
If we give up here, all the soul imprints we invested before will have gone down the drain, and now we're just adding a little more chips!

"How could I possibly... be controlled by you!" The undead Xue Lude gritted his teeth, desperately resisting the soul erosion of the Eighth Apostle, which was the absolute control of the highest-level undead over the lower-level undead.

Even though he is now an apostle, this control over the undead is still effective!

The Eighth Apostle frowned. He had already invested a great deal, and now his fragmented soul was enough to enslave a 5th-tier lich.

But we've already invested so much; if we give up now, all our previous investment will be wasted!
Keep following!
The Eighth Apostle once again increased its investment, and under the full force of the Immortal Authority, the total strength of the souls it invested reached one-tenth of its peak strength.

This was already a huge gamble. Only then did the Eighth Apostle realize that his investment had not gone down the drain, but was gradually and completely suppressing Xue's resistance, and at this moment, firmly imprinting the mark of enslavement on Xue's soul.

"Success!" After the enslavement was completely completed, the Eighth Apostle breathed a sigh of relief. He was the winner in this high-stakes gamble!
Unexpectedly, at that moment, following the soul imprint, a voice came from the other side.

"Eighth Apostle, don't be too happy yet. You seem to have misunderstood something." Xue Dinglu smiled, even though he had become an undead, even though he was now completely bound to eternal enslavement and had become a slave under the control of the Eighth Apostle.

But he laughed wildly, revealing a healthy smile that suggested he was a master strategist.

"Number 8, you're the real challenger!" Xue Luding let out a maniacal laugh reminiscent of the Uchiha clan. (End of Chapter)
