"As expected of the style of the Undead Emperor."
Jiang Yan surveyed the layout of the passageway.
On both sides are smooth, polished bone-like bookshelves, with neatly arranged square strips on them.
This is a data storage device for the underworld. It is usually semi-transparent, but it turns dark black when it is full.
Judging from the text on the label, this place seems to record the origins and design schemes of various war machines.
Jiang Yan extended his divine sense and looked at one of the pieces.
Over the years, the spirits of the dead heard that a true god of the fire element was seriously injured and about to die. They wrote him a letter urging him to donate his body for research after his death, but he refused.
The spirits of the dead have passed away, and this true god has fallen. I have come to pay my respects.
After the ceremony, they again requested to take away the remains of the true god for academic research, but this was refused.
So he left behind the Grim Reaper, who could feign death to retrieve the body, and succeeded.
In the years of the dead, the Fire God, without any evidence, recklessly launched an attack on the territory of the dead.
I am too busy researching the topic of "how to preserve the power of the laws of the gods during their lifetime" to deal with this issue.
Anubis volunteered to go and fight, and with a force a hundred times larger, he narrowly won.
After his defeat, the Fire God Lord went around boasting that he was the weakest of his kind in the Netherworld and only knew how to bully the weak with numbers. He also joined forces with the Holy Light pantheon to publish a magazine to spread false information.
I was deeply angered, so I took the time to develop large-scale war machines. All beings are equal.
Over the years of the Undead, with the combined efforts of the 237 avatars of the divine artist San Sheng, the equipment was finally developed.
On the occasion of the Fire God Lord's youngest daughter's 1 billionth birthday, I, in full view of everyone, fought to a draw with 100,000 low-level skeleton warriors against 100,000 elite fire-type divine guards, thus vindicating the undead realm.
The following is the design scheme for the device. I am of dull wit and have never been able to elevate the power of equality for all beings to be effective against the intermediate gods.
It is hoped that those who come after will be able to improve upon this.
Seeing this, Jiang Yan withdrew his divine sense.
—Because the rest was all academic terminology, he couldn't understand it at all.
"It turns out that the claim that the Necromancer class is the weakest among its peers was spread by both the Holy Light and Fire factions."
Jiang Yan seemed to be deep in thought.
Furthermore, he finally understood why the Netherworld ranked first on the list of the most unpopular realms; even angels who were always purifying others couldn't shake its number one position.
Openly demanding the body at someone's funeral and disrupting someone's billion-dollar birthday banquet—this is something even God could do!
Uh... no, maybe the third emperor thought that asking for the body only after the ceremony was already polite enough.
Jiang Yan sighed inwardly and continued to look at another bookshelf.
In the year of the dead, a certain deity of the dead accidentally discovered a cemetery while traveling.
According to divine feedback, this is the tomb of the previous Wind God.
When they tried to take it away, they were intercepted by a wind-elemental deity, and a fierce battle ensued.
Ultimately, the undead deity was unprepared and outnumbered, losing the battle for ownership of the Wind God's Cemetery.
After much painful reflection, I resolved to develop a war machine that could gather enough soldiers in most environments.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Yan quickly used his divine sense to scroll to the bottom to check the finished product data.
Name: Natural Disaster Battle Flag.
Possesses the ability to gain widespread support.
Effect: When waving the battle flag, it releases a special, alluring death energy. Depending on the level of the death energy, it can attract the skeletons left behind in the surrounding space to temporarily serve you. The highest level it can attract is a mid-level god.
Please note! Out of humanitarian considerations, after fighting for you for 24 hours, you must dismiss these temporarily recruited warriors, or you will suffer a backlash from the laws of nature.
Solution: Simply change the battle flag and continue to command them.
"It seems somewhat similar to my divine move."
Jiang Yan watched with great interest, but it was less effective than the Divine Move.
Currently, with his peak strength as a lower-level god combined with the "Good Fortune Blessing" ability, he is already able to reliably capture the remains of a mid-level god.
Once the advancement is complete, I should be able to capture the remains of higher-level gods, which will have a much higher potential.
Jiang Yan continued to scan the area with his divine sense.
The Undead Cannon can attack across realms.
A lucky coin with a 50% chance of turning both allies and enemies into undead.
Undead mechs forged from soulless, unsummonable bones and flesh...
The variety of war machines broadened Jiang Yan's horizons.
Without hesitation, he opened his divine kingdom and put all the storage strips containing design drawings and theories into them.
I missed the opportunity last time because I lacked experience in the lab; I must not make the same mistake this time.
As for who should study it after taking it back, Jiang Yan already had an idea in mind.
—Those angels only need to pray devoutly for about twelve hours a day to provide the power of faith for the whole day.
The remaining twelve hours were perfectly suited for studying the technological data left behind by the third emperor.
He even planned to send the data back to the Second Heaven through Losia's Holy Prison, so that those who couldn't get out could still contribute their remaining energy.
Surely not all of the hundreds of millions of angels are brainless like Losia; there must be a few geniuses among them.
Jiang Yan's expression became excited. Perhaps the collision between the Holy Light and the thoughts of the undead could actually improve these machines.
Just imagine, if we could develop an equalizer that could affect even mid-level or high-level gods, wouldn't the abyss be a piece of cake?
Huh?
Jiang Yan, who was collecting data, was surprised to find that there was only a storage strip on the last bookshelf, and it was even semi-transparent.
Jiang Yan curiously probed in with his divine sense.
Throughout the years of the Dead, the despicable pantheon led by the Holy Light has controlled public opinion and damaged the reputation of our undead realm.
After several unsuccessful protests, he decided to establish his own voice.
In the same year, Death was sent to infiltrate various pantheons using his ability to feign death, to uncover gossip and secrets, which were then embellished and released.
Unexpectedly, it was met with a united resistance from all pantheons.
I changed my approach and distributed the publication in biographical form to various parts of the world in order to preserve the truth.
And he named the publication "Unofficial History".
Goodness, what kind of content can be resisted by all pantheons?
Jiang Yan subconsciously flipped through the pages a few times, only to find that it wasn't recorded there.
"Looks like I'll have to ask Death when I have time."
Jiang Yan casually put away the last storage bar and walked towards the end of the passage.
A gate forged by laws was tightly shut, with powerful divine energy remaining on it.
Jiang Yan tried to touch the door with his divine sense, and immediately, a message flooded into his mind.
You have touched the Gate of Sighs.
This gate is protected by a powerful causal spell; you must complete the set test before you can open it and enter.
It's here!
Jiang Yan smiled easily.
The journey has been too smooth; if there weren't any challenges along the way, I would feel uneasy.
What will the test include?
At that moment, a familiar voice rang out, seemingly a message from the third emperor.
“Originally, I planned to have you eliminate all the demons and gods in this world as a test. But the divine power I sensed on the bookshelf just now made me realize that you also seem to have a great passion for knowledge.”
“Those who love scientific research should be given preferential treatment, so I have deliberately lowered the difficulty of the assessment to the minimum. You only need to complete a simple test paper and get full marks to enter the door.”
The sound stopped, and a densely written exam paper appeared before my eyes.
Jiang Yan glanced at it briefly, and the smile on his face immediately froze.
This is outrageous!
You might as well let me go and kill all the demons!
