Beast Taming: My Intelligence System Chapter 912 - 567: The Dark Hand of the Necromancer
Previously on Beast Taming: My Intelligence System...
The formidable Highly Poisonous River Dolphin Whale King was unknowingly transformed into a meal by someone.
It's probable that even the Highly Poisonous River Dolphin Whale King never anticipated such an end.
"Mother, from now on, if there are such benefits, the more the merrier!"
"This isn't a siege by Illusion Beasts; it feels more like ingredients being delivered straight to our doorstep."
Ye Bai exclaimed with joy.
Such fortunate circumstances significantly expanded Ye Bai's ingredient collection.
"Ye Bai, how is the cleanup progressing on your end?"
Zhang Aiyu inquired with considerable curiosity.
"I've mostly completed the cleanup, but members of the Heaven and Earth Association intervened and nearly sent my father to the other dimension."
"The Heaven and Earth Association seems intent on causing trouble."
"It appears that a peaceful resolution between us and them is virtually impossible, and we might be heading towards an all-out conflict."
Ye Bai stated emphatically.
"Indeed, judging by the current situation, we might very well clash until the very end."
"We can only deal with those one hundred and eight demon stars one by one."
"The Thirty-Six Celestial Generals and Seventy-Two Earth Soldiers, each Celestial General is approximately Tier Eight in strength. If our National Pillar were to be ambushed and sent to the other dimension at this moment, it would be incredibly problematic."
"However, I believe it won't be simple for the Heaven and Earth Association to break free from their seal, especially with the Demon Suppressing Sword holding them down."
Ye Bai nodded, "You're right, it's not an easy task. But I fear the Heaven and Earth Association might resort to tricks, perhaps deliberately creating some disturbance."
"That would place us in a rather disadvantageous position."
As he finished speaking, his phone began to ring.
The incoming call was from his father, Ye Canghai.
"Something significant has occurred. Zi Shu and Chou Niu made a mistake and were directly sent to the other dimension by individuals from the Heaven and Earth Association."
"They are unable to return for the time being, but the work still needs to be done by us."
"Just now, Yin Tiger mentioned that the cleanup of Zi Shu and Chou Niu's territory falls to you."
Upon hearing Ye Canghai's words, Ye Bai's grip on his phone tightened.
Truly, what one fears often comes to pass.
It appears the Heaven and Earth Association is genuinely determined to commit their full force against the Flame Country.
This development is not favorable. Could it be that eliminating a Celestial General has pushed the Heaven and Earth Association to abandon any possibility of negotiation?
Ye Bai didn't believe this was the sole reason; rather, it was likely a millennium of accumulated resentment from their sealing that fueled their desire for change.
And now, the Flame Country has become their designated target for venting these frustrations.
At a secluded location, Dark Star, a necromancer, materialized. This place was the Soul Shrine, established by the Flame Country, where the remains of Pet Beast Masters who had rendered significant contributions to the Flame Country were interred.
"Heavenly Star, what do you believe the Flame Country's reaction would be if we were to resurrect all the undead within this shrine?"
"This is a strategy devised by the Sky Dharma Guardian; we have no desire to negotiate with the Flame Country. This land rightfully belongs to us."
"It is merely the president's indecisiveness that has led to the current predicament."
"The Earth Dharma Guardian's approach has been far too conservative."
"That is precisely why he was sealed by the Sky Dharma Guardian."
"As for those Celestial Generals who are unwilling to engage in conflict, if they do not wish to serve, let them continue their slumber."
"We must expedite this process so that when the president is revived, the situation will already be established in this manner."
"After all, when the president was sealed back then, it was agreed that after one thousand years, regardless of his actions, he would not be interfered with. A promise must be honored."
"Even their descendants are bound to adhere to our covenant with him."
"Now that the thousand-year period is drawing near, and those individuals are showing no signs of reaction, is this not a breach of the covenant?"
"A person must not go back on their word!"
"I consider this to be outright betrayal and it warrants severe punishment!"
"Transforming those heroic spirits into undead is the most fitting punishment for them."
"Heavenly Star, proceed with the ritual." Dark Star's eyes gleamed with a hint of madness.
"Awaken, undead! Become great generals under our command!"
Azure souls emanated from Dark Star's being, and spectral echoes materialized within the Soul Shrine.
These souls converged, then dispersed into the crystal coffins housed within the Soul Shrine.
Within these coffins lay the remains of heroic spirits who had made great sacrifices for the Flame Country, their bodies preserved in the Soul Shrine to eternally safeguard the vast territories of the Flame Country.
"It is close now; they are about to emerge."
The Dark Star lightly slapped his cheeks; typically, the resurrection of the undead concludes swiftly, not like this instance where the soul-calling technique has lingered without the undead yet appearing.
Presently, fresh intelligence emerged.
[1. Heavenly Star and Dark Star have united their strengths to execute an undead revival, aiming to resurrect the spirits interred within the Soul Shrine.]
[2. The Earth Dharma Guardian of the Heaven and Earth Association has been unexpectedly subdued and sealed by the Sky Dharma Guardian.]
[3. A significant portion, exceeding half, of the Heaven and Earth Association's members are reluctant to engage in combat and have consequently been sealed by the Sky Dharma Guardian. The president's stance is to ascend to the upper realm and forge a new world.]
[4. In truth, the president has perpetually remained in a conscious state, perceiving this entire affair as a mere game. A millennium is but a fleeting moment for the president, who is blessed with the immortal gene.]
[5. Both the Sky Dharma Guardian and the Earth Dharma Guardian are mere projections of the president, embodying his opposing philosophies: aggression and preservation. The demise of either side signifies the triumph of the other, which could dictate the president's evolving perspective.]
It appears that by neutralizing the majority of the combative factions within the Heaven and Earth Association, the core issue can be fundamentally resolved.
With one hundred and eight Celestial Generals, over half of them comprising belligerent factions, that amounts to fifty-four individuals.
Having already eliminated four Celestial Generals beforehand, fifty remain.
