I’m not sure if there are a billion, but the Relay Spirit is desperately vomiting them out. It has vomited for an entire day and has only produced slightly over ten thousand. If there really were a billion Soul Crystals, it would need to vomit for ten thousand days, which would take decades to finish.

“It must be due to the transfer of Soul Energy. Its connection with the Soul Network allows for only so much to be transferred in a day. If we want to speed up the process, we would need to create a few more Relay Spirits,” Durken analyzed.

However, creating Relay Spirits is no easy task. These special Spiritual Bodies lack intelligence but their Soul Strength is incredibly high, rivaling even that of Feiti, the Lord of Mourning. If it knew how to use its own Soul Energy, it would become a very formidable Undead Spiritual Body.

“Relay Spirits are too difficult to create. Let it continue vomiting at its own pace, since it’s all free anyway. But where are we storing all these Soul Energy? Why has no one extracted it over these years?” Negris wondered aloud.

“It’s probably due to the lack of the Highest Power Mark. I guess when His Majesty first projected himself into this world, his Soul Strength wasn’t high enough to maintain the operation of the Soul Network. That’s why he came up with this method. Later, when his soul grew stronger, a few hundred Soul Crystals became meaningless. However, he never cancelled the function and without the Highest Power Mark, others couldn’t extract it, so it just accumulated,” Durken offered his analysis.

Feiti nodded. “That’s probably it. His Majesty is capable of doing such things; he often forgets about some matters.”

Negris changed the topic since they could only let it continue vomiting slowly: “Should we take the time to check out the Believer Knights’ camp?”

Gonia calls herself a Believer and the Battle Priestesses she leads are known as the Believer Knights, with a total of around two thousand members. Each one is a priest specialized in combat and they are very powerful.

The sixty-some officers that Ange unfroze from petrification earlier were the commanders and officers of the Believer Knights, the most powerful group among them.

As everyone gradually became unsealed, the remaining two thousand plus Battle Priestesses were found. After recuperating and fervently praying, becoming familiar with Ange’s aura to establish a stable faith bond, they returned to the Star Burst Plane ahead of the others to prepare the camp.

Only after the camp was established would the rest of the followers come over. These followers were exiled to the abyss along with the Believer Knights and were also quite strong in their own right. If all two hundred thousand came over with sufficient logistical supplies and taking advantage of the terrain, they could definitely settle down firmly.

The terrain here refers to the forest.

The Broken Star Mountains happen to have a densely vegetated primeval forest. The camp that the Believer Knights are building is only a decoy to mislead others; the real camp is in the forest.

Once they retreat into the forest, even if the Council of the Undead dispatches all its forces, it wouldn’t be enough to fill the forest overseen by the God of Life. In terms of numbers, the Undead creatures could never match the creatures in the forest.

It seems that the greatest natural enemy of the Undead should be the God of Life. How come Ange is able to keep two of them?

“Gonia and her people have cleared a large swath of wasteland, preparing to be self-sufficient, but for some reason, what they plant quickly withers and dies. It might need your attention,” Negris suggested.

Ange’s eyes lit up, and he nodded eagerly.

The land selected by the Sorcerer Alliance is indeed excellent. Probably no one knows their weaknesses better than themselves, and only they know where they can avoid the threat of the Starburst Array.

The Broken Star Mountains sit on the edge of the death line. Travel a few dozen kilometers further, and you enter the death line where the Starburst Array is completely out of sight.

But the land within the death line has been contaminated by the breath of death and isn’t suitable for ordinary folk without treatment.

On this side of the death line, however, they would be threatened by the Starburst Array, and the enemy would definitely not be willing to settle within its direct firing range.

The Broken Star Mountains solve this dilemma; their height blocks the direct firing of the Starburst Array, yet they are not within the range of the death line. The ground isn’t heavily contaminated and is suitable for survival by the common people.

Of course, the Sorcerer Alliance didn’t choose this location with good intentions. Their domain, directly opposite the death line, is wide open and unobstructed. Should the Undead Tide surge over, everyone would be forced to retreat to the mountains.

In this back-and-forth struggle, the strengths of both the Undead creatures and the Church of Light would deplete, allowing the Sorcerer Alliance to sit back and watch the drama unfold.

Even Negris could see through their sinister intentions, which is why they enjoyed the benefits while disposing of the poisonous candy, allowing the land to lie fallow until now.

This domain isn’t suitable as a stronghold, but it serves excellently as bait. By throwing Gonia and the others over here, they immediately attracted the attention of both sides, while also ‘confirming’ that the Church of Light has the capacity to call reinforcements from the Divine Realm.

The area has now drawn a lot of attention. Undead creatures inside the death line have gradually increased in number. They don’t do much besides wander over and then dig holes to bury themselves.

Seeing this, Negris sighed, “It truly resembles the Land of Fallen.”

As for the Sorcerer Alliance, they now regularly have two floating Sorcerer Ladders high in the sky, watching both Gonia’s Believer Knights and the situation within the death line, ready to prevent the formation of the Undead Tide if necessary.

This, of course, is not out of kindness. First, they need the Church of Light to raid the Undead Empire for skeletons. Second, their base now has such weak self-defense that a single push could flatten it, negating its purpose of mutual attrition.
