The old man you see with your phone is highly suspicious.

"I forgot, in the soul state, one is in a dazed state, and at that time, one forgets how much time has passed, so perhaps my hometown has long since become a paradise for the undead scourge?" he murmured.

The fact that the female corpse is so old proves that their world has not just recently experienced the undead calamity, but has been ravaged for an unknown period of time.

A notable characteristic of the Scourge is that it becomes stronger the stronger its enemies are.

Perhaps if a cataclysmic undead plague were to break out on Earth, those undead would just be speed bumps on a truck. After all, Earthlings are too weak; they have absolutely no organs to store and absorb magic power, and the undead they can create are not even as good as skeleton soldiers.

As long as you drive a big truck, you can roam freely in the face of Earth's biohazard crisis.

But the old Demon Emperor's world is different!

Their world is full of short-lived war fanatics, legends are as common as dogs, myths are everywhere, and even the old Demon Emperor, who is almost an apostle, has a group of people who can surround and kill him.

They were a race that, in their struggle for resources, territory, and precious water and food, were capable of developing magic designed entirely for killing.

In the world of the old Demon Emperor, everyone desperately squeezes out their life force to convert it into combat power, and the magic they use is killing magic with a destructive power far exceeding their own level.

Even the old Demon Emperor's blood magic is the same; each person's magical destructive power is much higher than that of regular spells, but their defensive power is practically nonexistent, and they will suffer endless magical backlash after middle age.

Even early-stage legendary magic has the potential to kill mythical-level beings. Even the old undead, a near-5th tier creature, was ambushed and killed by his youngest son, who was only 2nd tier. This shows just how fragile this race is.

This is a technology that they acquired after countless years of fierce internal strife and warfare.

And now, if the Scourge of the Dead were to descend...

Their original attack power wouldn't be weakened much, but the undead would grant them far greater survivability and survival skills. If the Lich King had directly descended upon that planet, and amassed his first fortune by plundering corpses...

Next comes the exponential increase in troop strength, which can quickly snowball into a powerful force.

The most troublesome aspect of the undead is that almost anyone who dies under the undead scourge will become an undead with only a slight difference in strength, unless the corpse can be completely purified or ground into powder.

Even if it's frozen for years, it will still revive when it comes out.

This leads to the undead becoming stronger and more numerous as they are fought, while the living become fewer and fewer. Eventually, your brothers, sisters, relatives, friends, parents, and children all become undead, which is worse than hell for anyone.

Furthermore, the old Demon Emperor's homeland is filled with glass cannons with extremely high attack power but very low health. After being turned into undead, they will probably become one of the most troublesome enemies.

"Go! Go, I need to get back right away! Damn undead, the dead should just die peacefully and not disturb the world of the living!" the old Demon Emperor said through gritted teeth.

He harbored deep resentment towards his fellow countrymen, but his resentment was different. He always held the mindset of "I am right, and you will regret it." He hoped to return home in glory, carrying his new world's army and equipment to thoroughly annihilate those primitive people!

In this way, he can make everyone understand that he is right! To create a peaceful new world, a new era, without war!

Instead of wanting to return to his homeland only to find that there are no living creatures left, just a large group of twisted and crazed undead rotting on this land!

Xue Dinglu didn't leave immediately. Instead, he asked, "Do you know who the enemy is? How many undead do we need to face? Where is the Lich King? Or are there any higher-level undead above the Lich King?"

The old Demon Emperor was stunned for a moment. After his anger was interrupted, he gradually calmed down and even realized that his anger would not do any good.

He didn't even know how long he had been dead. So much time had passed, so he wasn't in a hurry for these few minutes.

On the other hand, even the old Demon Emperor knew the characteristics of the undead calamity. As long as the leader was not dead and the location of the core of the undead army was unknown, it would be meaningless for them to kill as many undead as possible.

Even if they wiped out all the lower undead, it wouldn't solve the problem. Moreover, without requesting the Star Destroyer from the Starfleet, it would be extremely difficult for them to wipe out all the undead.

The old Demon Emperor calmed down instantly and said, "Then what do we do? Once we go there, we will be completely unable to hide. The difference between the aura of the living and the dead is huge. To the undead, our going there is like setting off a signal flare in the night."

"I also need to think of a solution," Xue Dinglu could only say.

Face-to-face encounter with the undead without any prior information?

In the past, Xue would have just charged in headfirst, but after spending so much time in the Mist Council, he also knew that the source of the undead calamity was also the Apostles.

So don't panic, the problem is big, panicking won't help.

Chapter 417 Doctor Xue Dinglu Returns from All Realms, a Grand Serialized Novel

Xue Law now has to coax the old Demon Emperor like a child, to prevent him from dying suddenly here due to a heart attack, or from impulsively returning home to be killed.

When I got there, oh no! There was a near-Tier 5 undead in the Undead Scourge.

That's truly unbelievable. The most disgusting thing about dealing with the undead is that if you lose one combatant, the other side will gain an equivalent number of combatants. Unless you can wipe out the undead Scourge in one wave, you can expect to be slowly boiled to death like a frog in water.

When Xue Luding thought this way, he really didn't have a good solution. There wasn't much information on the Banshee. The corpse was in a state of disarray, destroyed by Earth's microorganisms. The soul had dissipated, and the miscellaneous consciousness and twisted, broken soul were pieced together to form this Banshee.

This thing has no intelligence or consciousness, let alone memory, and cannot even communicate; it is just a pure undead.

Therefore, the most troublesome situation is when no information can be found at all.

Xue Luding decided to rely on his passive ability to actively control his dream and see if he could connect to the memories of this ghostly banshee.

Although there is a great risk in accessing the memories of an undead, Xue Dinglu's strength and level are now considerable. For a fourth-tier mage like him to venture into the memory chamber of a third-tier undead banshee is not considered too dangerous, and he can escape in time even if things go wrong.

In the most dangerous situation, Xue Lude can also release the twisted, trembling void monster from the great void of his soul, which will devour everything.

Since he had an idea, Xue Luding explained his plan, and the old Demon Emperor could only reluctantly agree. He had no better options. Now that he was dead, he didn't know how long he had been drifting in the subspace. If he was lucky, it would only be a few years, but if he was unlucky, it might have been hundreds of years.

This demon emperor, who wanted to create a peaceful world, had no idea what kind of devastation his world had experienced, or what kind of enemies he had faced in the past.

Xue Luding simply believed that his two companions would be easy prey if they went over there rashly. He believed that he would rely on traps to win this time. As for the Old Demon Emperor, his level was top-notch in normal matches, but he was no match for the Apostle.

On battlefields at the Apostle level, a near-Tier 5 might be less useful than someone with a special ability, such as the young general's 0-frame-starting spatial teleportation, which exploits information gaps in mechanics.

The Old Demon Emperor is the type that is purely numerical and doesn't have many mechanics.

Although there's no actual combat experience with blood magic against the undead, Xue Dinglu believes the effect would likely be extremely poor.

"You can also make some preparations on how to arrange the future of this world. We'll meet here then," Xue Dinglu thought.

The old Demon Emperor could only nod. Although he didn't want to wait another day, he understood what Xue Lude meant. His world had a big problem, and panicking wouldn't help. If panicking could save the world, Xue Lude would have been as anxious as an ant on a hot pan long ago.

Xue is currently trying his best to remain rational and not be influenced by the people behind the Undead Scourge.

Actually, he really wanted to ask Number 10 for some information. He had already figured out that the mastermind behind the Scourge was Number 8 in the Mist Council, a monster codenamed "Undead King".

What He most enjoys is creating a lich in other worlds using the corpses of those worlds, and then letting things unfold as they will. Because the lich is created from the corpses of those worlds, the world's consciousness can easily be fooled if it doesn't investigate carefully.

If the lich successfully transforms all the living into the dead, He will go and reap the rewards of victory, absorbing all the corpses and souls. If the lich fails, He will not care, and perhaps when He remembers, He will become a stronger lich.

This is the information given to Xue Law before the 10th. In short, he is a somewhat "Buddhist" existence among the apostles, but he is also the apostle who created the undead scourge that shocked the world, and is infamous along with the Mind Flayer of the 4th apostle and the Swarm of the 6th apostle.

Xue's Law even suggested that demons were "artificial gods" created by the native hellish civilization. However, these artificial gods went out of control and turned around to enslave humanity, thus becoming the demons we know today. Otherwise, demons might also be products of the apostles.

However, based on the limited information available, the demons are indeed artificial gods created in imitation of the apostles.

Currently, the information about Number 8 is limited to this little bit, and Xue Law doesn't know whether this time he will only face a Lich King again, or whether he might directly confront Number 8.

Xue's Law hopes for the former. If it is a direct confrontation with No. 8, the only way for Xue's Law to win is to completely release the Void Monster in the Great Void and swallow it into the Void when No. 8 is not on guard.

He couldn't think of any other way to kill the immortal king.

Thinking of this, Xue Lude could only sigh. The vast emptiness that everyone feared most and regarded as a monstrous threat turned out to be his last trump card.

Even the origin of this great void, if traced back to the very beginning, might be due to his own becoming an undead. When he finally merged with old Barak to become a skeletal demon, he had already been transformed into an undead.

He was simply rescued from the ICU later.

Xue Luding has returned to Earth. It's still early, but he's already eager to drift off to sleep in order to delve deeper into the memories of the Banshee and uncover some of the information within.

At the very least, we need to know how far the undead scourge has progressed over there.

But just as he was getting ready to sleep, his mother found him and said, "Son, do you have any good items that can be mass-produced and meet the requirements for listing on the group's online store? I've got my eye on something and want to buy it, but I don't have the money. I'm looking for a sample to do wholesale."

Xue's Law: "?"

No, you've been chatting in the group for so long? And now you want to spend money like crazy?

Since singing "Those Years, Tears Still Linger" in the group, Xue Dinglu has stopped looking at the group. After all, the presence of parents in the group makes him afraid to speak. Normal people rarely speak when their parents are in the group.

However, Xue Dinglu was too busy with the matter of the Banshee and didn't pay much attention to the messages in the group.

However, when he entered the cross-world chat group on the system panel again, he not only found a large amount of chat content, but also found countless products listed in the group store.

Xue Dinglu took a look and immediately gasped.

【Holy King Volcano (S-rank Noble Phantasm): A volcano filled with magma and endless light and heat, embodying tens of thousands of years of faith and fear, possessing extremely strong light and fire power, and able to directly control near-5th rank light or fire power.

Price: 999998 Credits

Xue's Law: "..."

Isn't this the volcano from Barak's hometown? Xue's Law even cleared the volcano of exhaust gases, and there's even a Lich King who has stopped thinking buried under this volcano. Is this Lung Fog World Consciousness just going to throw this thing out for sale like this?

【Complete Collection of Fairy Tale Magic (Rank A Spellbook): Records all fairy tale magic that can be replicated in reality, including 108 wonderful magic spells. Although most of them are low-level and everyday spells, there are also many strange spells based on rules.

Price: 114514 Credits

Xue's Law: "..."

He was tempted when he saw the second one. He especially liked fairy tale magic, but even after so much time with Old Watson, they had only managed to replicate one bread spell, one birth-inducing spell, and one soothing spell, plus a strange hypnotic spell.

Such spells are just a drop in the ocean compared to the magic of the entire fairy tale side. Xue was indeed very interested in the other 108 fairy tale spells that were replicated, but he immediately lost interest when he saw the price.

【Planetary Self-Healing Device (Class A Technology Product): By installing a large number of these devices on planets, the planets can produce a product that enables them to self-heal and self-purify. The effect is equivalent to planting a divine tree on a dead planet, which allows the divine tree to gather atmosphere and water. However, it can be used on polluted planets and other planets that need self-healing.

Price: 99991 Credits

……

Seeing this, Xue Lude looked up at Earth's consciousness, while his mother bluntly said, "I want this self-healing device, but I don't want to spend too much money. What do you think we should do?"

Xue's Law: "..."

He probably understands why his mother wanted this thing. He didn't actually need this device. If the world was destroyed to a certain extent, He could have just sent down the sixth mass extinction, just like when his mother elbowed the giant meteorite that fell from the sky, and He didn't care about the lives of the dinosaurs at all.

Dinosaurs? Merciless.

Perhaps when the sixth mass extinction occurs, Earth's consciousness will treat humanity the same way it treated the dinosaurs, unleashing a global catastrophe of earthquakes and volcanoes. Any civilization would tremble under such natural disasters, or even face annihilation.

This planetary self-healing device was something Mom told Xue about directly. She said that He would like the living beings in the present, so He would be more tolerant of them, and this device that increases self-purification ability is just that.

I'll buy it, even if it means gritting my teeth!

As Xue Lu thought this, he continued to scan the remaining many products on the shelves.
