Gu Luo did not press Fang Heng on what had transpired but regarded him with appreciation and nodded, “It seems you have made tremendous progress recently. Perhaps soon your strength will surpass mine. Have you come to me with any confusion, or are you seeking further advancement in necromancy?”

Gu Luo was more than willing to help Fang Heng with his doubts and guide him further in the field of necromancy.

“Greetings, Mentor.”

Fang Heng respectfully performed a mage’s bow to Mentor Gu Luo.

The undead faction had provided him with significant assistance to reach this point.

“I did come with some questions that I hope you can help me with.”

Gu Luo settled back into his chair and gestured for Fang Heng to sit down. “There’s no need to be so formal. Sit down and speak at your leisure.”

Fang Heng moved a chair and sat across from Mentor Gu Luo. “Mentor, have you heard of the White Abyss?”

“White Abyss…?”

Gu Luo murmured the name “White Abyss” twice under his breath, shaking his head in response, “I’ve never heard of it.”

“What about dimensional core?”

“Ah, dimensional core… I do know a bit about it. I’ve seen references in ancient tomes. A dimensional core is an incredibly powerful artifact that can provide immense energy support and also aid in cultivation. However, the number of dimensional cores discovered in this world is extremely limited. Even our undead faction possesses only one.”

Fang Heng fell silent for a moment upon hearing this.

It was as he had suspected; dimensional cores were not common and were likely not easy to obtain in bulk.

“Thank you for clarifying, Mentor.”

Gu Luo then inquired, “By the way, what suddenly piqued your interest in such a thing?”

“Well, I’ve come across a special power known as Dimensional Energy and need dimensional cores to enhance it.”

“I see,” Gu Luo said, already making some connections. He nodded, “I’m not familiar with dimensional energy, but within our undead faction, there are many ancient beings who have lived for hundreds of thousands of years. I’ll see if I can find someone who knows more and get some information for you.”

“Thank you, Mentor. Besides that, I also want to gather some information about the White Abyss.”

“Certainly, I’ll help you look into that as well.”

“Thank you for your trouble, Mentor.” Fang Heng continued, “By the way, during my absence, how has the front line between the undead and the Holy Court been faring?”

Upon hearing this, Gu Luo’s expression darkened noticeably.

“We’ve lost.”

Gu Luo’s response was succinct, and he lapsed into silence.

“Mentor, are there any suitable missions for me? I would like to participate in the battle.”

Gu Luo looked surprised and asked, “Why this sudden interest? Don’t forget that you’re still being hunted by the Holy Realm. If the Holy Court discovers you on the battlefield, their pursuers will immediately move against you.”

“Yes, I understand. It’s just an additional opportunity. I’ll be cautious.”

“Very well. If that’s the case, you should find Li Qingran. At this time, she should be in Undead City-Miyisca Fortress, involved in the undead faction’s operations against the Federation’s allied front. Your mission will be straightforward: find a way to destroy the Holy Court’s active forces to give our undead faction a greater advantage on the front lines. Go and perform well. You’ll be well-rewarded for a job well done.”

[Hint: The player has triggered a special faction mission-Participate in the frontal battlefield (undead faction).]

Mission name: Participate in the frontal battlefield (undead faction)

Mission description: The conflict between the undead and the Holy Court has escalated to a critical level. Mentor Gu Luo hopes you will join the frontline battle to inflict significant damage on the Holy Court and secure more advantages for the undead faction.

Mission requirements: Cause damage to the Holy Court’s forces (During the mission, the player will earn contribution points based on the level of destruction. You are required to accumulate at least 1000 contribution points). Current contribution points: 0/1000.

Mission reward: Based on the contribution points earned, the player will receive corresponding King of Gods’ points as a reward.

[Hint: The player will receive a teleportation rune for Undead City-Miyisca Fortress (Hint: This item is limited to accessing certain open areas in Undead City).]

Fang Heng reviewed the mission prompts and nodded to himself.

Mentor Gu Luo had been quite accommodating, providing a broadly defined mission requirement that simply involved causing as much disruption as possible to the Holy Court’s forces. Moreover, the mission reward was precisely what Fang Heng urgently needed—King of Gods’ points.

“Thank you, Mentor. I will take my leave now.”

“Very well. I look forward to hearing good news from you.”

Putting away the mission notification panel, Fang Heng immediately bid farewell to Teacher Gu Luo and left.

…

Undead City-Miyisca Fortress.

As a small open world in the high-tier game world, Undead City has been established as the command center for the undead faction during the current war. Within the fortress’s conference hall, Li Qingran is engaged in discussions with representatives from various undead factions about how to counter the Holy Court.

Since Fang Heng’s departure, the struggle for territories between the undead and the Holy Court has intensified, with battles threatening to spill over into the high-tier world.

Initially, thanks to the advantages Fang Heng had established, the undead faction managed to expand their lead and achieve considerable victories. However, as the Holy Court’s high-tier worlds began to intervene directly, frequently employing their ‘Descent’ powers to impact mid-tier worlds, they began winning several key battles. This shift started to turn the tide in their favor.

Realizing that direct confrontations were yielding insufficient support and that they could not match the Holy Court’s strength head-on, the undead faction altered their strategy. They moved away from large-scale battles and instead adopted a strategy of numerous small-scale skirmishes. By extending their front lines and engaging in frequent harassment, they aimed to deplete the Holy Court’s high-tier strength.

After all, the use of ‘Descent’ required a significant amount of energy, and the Holy Court could not rely on it indefinitely.

Currently, the war has spread across various elementary and mid-tier worlds, with dozens of small-scale battles occurring daily. During this period, the undead faction has also secretly devised a promising ambush plan.

If executed successfully, this plan could provide substantial support to the ongoing conflict.

In the hall of the Miyisca Fortress, Shi Lipeng, a young leader, was presenting the operational deployment plan to the attendees. Li Qingran, sitting below, was attentively listening. Suddenly, she noticed a message on the survival radio and felt a jolt of surprise.

It was from Fang Heng!

He had returned!

Shi Lipeng, noticing the change in Li Qingran’s expression, paused his presentation and asked, “Li Qingran, is something wrong? Do you have any questions about the plan?”

“No, it’s not that,” Li Qingran replied, checking the message. She then looked up and said, “One of my friends has returned. He has just entered Miyisca Fortress, and I believe he could be of great assistance to us.”

“Oh? Really? Who is this impressive friend of yours?” Shi Lipeng asked with interest.

“It’s Fang Heng.”

At the mention of Fang Heng’s name, the attendees began to murmur among themselves, whispering excitedly.

Fang Heng’s name was well-known within the undead faction. His reputation preceded him, and his achievements had left a significant mark on their recent efforts.
