Chapter 1: Half a Year (I)

Just as some seemingly simple things are difficult to do well, sometimes, when you do complex things, you will find that it is not as difficult as you imagined.

Li Yun, who thought that he would need to make a big move to regain control of this dark world, found that he had a simpler and more effective choice when he had the memory and knowledge of Tigalus.

Tigalus is no longer there, but the special magical parasite he planted in the brains of his subjects is not dead.

Therefore, Li Yun easily grasped the method of making these 'pocket bombs' continue to work.

There is no need for any crusade teams and killing wars, all Li Yun has to do is to let the heads of various groups hold a meeting, so that those guys can know who is the new master of this area again.

In terms of acting skills and means of dominating evil creatures, Li Yun is much higher than Tigalus, who is often delirious.

The inhabitants of the subterranean realm quickly realized that this new master was not something that could be done by handing over a few sacrificial creatures.

On the contrary, Li Yun began his innovative reforms in a big way, and the situation in which the past dozen or so major underground inhabitants were in siloed ways will come to an end, and what awaits them is the integration of ethnic characteristics that will be maintained.

This plan even involves the newborn lives of all races. They will be nurtured, managed, and inculcated with knowledge, that is to say, Li Yun has cut off the ideological differences and environmental influences brought about by racial differences from the roots, and after a maximum of three generations, these young generations who have grown up will be like the multi-ethnic unity of another world, with only cultural characteristics and industries more suitable for their own occupation, and there is no distinction between those who are superior or inferior.

Li Yun will establish his own strict pyramid hierarchy, which is a pyramid judged by ability and prestige.

In this kingdom, as long as you are strong and capable, even if you are just a weak goblin, you can become a commander, commanding legions of minotaurs and cave giants.

In this kingdom, the importance of wisdom has been raised to a new level, the importance of cooperation with each other has been raised to a new level, and the battle of large groups and collective hunting has been raised to a new level.

In this kingdom, institutions and rules have become a tool to restrain the behavior of individuals and to unite powerful groups. It's not about making the creatures of the underworld kind, it's about making them orderly. The evil of order, which has its own characteristics, the evil of order in which democracy and centralization are equally valued, this is the overall sense that Li Yun wants the new underground kingdom to give people.

In order to implement his own thoughts, Li Yun successfully created a tall image of a demon god in the minds of the underground residents through a 'touring performance'.

In his realm, the Waste Giants, Tentacle Monsters, Stoneblind Barbarians, and Earth Trolls, these powerful but unsubmissive races were exterminated en masse, and the fiery and cruel scenes of which even the leaders and representatives of the various groups who were accustomed to bloody battles were deeply shocked.

When the blood was completely cleansed, they couldn't even find a piece of flesh larger than a fist.

What's even more terrifying is that a new concept has been firmly established in this incident, that is, creatures who go against the wishes of this new lord will be subjected to permanent pain and torture that is more terrible than death, and this kind of physical and mental torture is so varied and effective that many underground creatures are wondering if the true face of this new lord is a descendant of some demon king of the most terrifying Bato hell (plane......

It didn't take too long for Li Yun to sit on the smooth Dripping Rock Throne more securely than his predecessor.

Within his rule, the execution of any order will not be compromised, even if the order is unreasonable to cause a subject to commit suicide, it will be immediately responded to and executed.

However, Li Yun himself knew that even for this dark world, he could not be regarded as an absolute ruler.

Because these 100,000 cubic kilometers of land are only the whole of the Underworld, The Upperdark, and two-thirds of the area of The Middledark. A third of The Middledark and the deeper The Lowerdark are areas beyond the reach of his powers.

In the wider, deeper, more dangerous, and more chaotic underground world, countless strange things are hidden in the middle, countless powerful beings who can fight him to the death are hidden, and there are countless treasures buried in the middle. (If only the plane area is calculated, the underground area that Li Yun now controls is only 2,600 square kilometers.) In other words, the length of the domain under his control was not long enough to stretch from the territory to the corners of Nesmail. IT IS ABOUT 60 KM LONG, 45 KM WIDE AND 40 KM DEEP. Note: Due to the high altitude of the northern lands and the title of the land of mountains and forests, there is a big difference between the standards of the southern countries for evaluating the three regional levels of the dark region. )

In the face of a deep, obscure but real unknown threat, for the long-term stability of this domain and for himself, Li Yun did three major things.

First, he temporarily abandoned the lava caverns of the Black Iron Dwarves' original residence, ordered Ray to move to a new underground territory with all his craftsmen, subordinates, and supplies, and taught him how to create and control magical parasites.

From then on, Ray became the supreme battle commander here.

According to preliminary statistics, in Li Yun's territory, there are more than 800 demon batmen, more than 300 drow elves, more than 1,400 minotaurs, more than 2,700 cave people, more than 300 bear goblins, more than 400 goblins, more than 5,000 goblins, more than 200 war lizards, more than 30 spirit sucking monsters, more than 300 spirit sucking monsters, more than 300 gray dwarves, more than 100 deep orcs, more than 20 mars giants, more than 300 rat people, more than 30 dwarves, more than 70 black iron dwarves, and more than 100 humans, with a total of more than 12,000 people.

Removing 2 percent of the young people, removing 5 percent of the women, the elderly, and professional craftsmen, Lei has a 4,000-person young combat force.

Lei, who had accepted Li Yun's advanced combat knowledge, took the elite line. Despite the fact that all the inhabitants of the underground are good at fighting, and although many of the women and elderly people are not inferior to any male in combat, they are placed in other types of auxiliary positions.

Even these four thousand people were divided into two B-level and two C-level thousand-man teams. In addition to taking into account many military factors such as the evaluation of combat strength, this is also necessary for the initial strategic principle of 'defending the territory' with the focus on production, construction, and development.

Second, Li Yun took the extreme route. Despite severe anemia, he still subdued the remaining members of the ShadowClan.

At this point, the special existence of the Shadow Clan completely disappeared in the Salano Continent, and the total number of Li Yun goblins reached nearly three hundred.

The goblins are by no means foils or simple servants, they are cultivated as the second layer of the 'pyramid' in the future, second only to Li Yun. In the depths of his soul, Li Yun has never been an arrogant person, especially after fighting the demigod immortal and obtaining the memory of Tigalus, Li Yun knows very well what kind of enemy he is potential enemies.

Therefore, he was mentally prepared for the severe attrition of his team in the war. In his plan, the elves will be his most powerful weapons of war, just as the main branches are to the trees, as long as they are still there, and the leaves will not affect the next year's luxuriation. The elves are an extension of his more functional, bloodline bone spurs.

To this end, Li Yun poured all his knowledge into these goblins and gave them a variety of different skills, and most of them moved into the dome 'Ice Abyss' where the Dripping Rock Throne was located.

Li Yun used this to keep himself awake at all times. Sitting on that high throne is like walking on thin ice, like facing the abyss.

For the elves, this subterranean world is the best testing ground, and they are the stewards and overseers of the 10,000 subterranean dwellers.

Here, they have to use their knowledge and power to carry out a series of long-term and in-depth reform plans to build an underground kingdom that belongs to them and Li Yun.

Like a well-established militarized state, the Primordial Priestess Mana Naru became the first supreme administrator at the same time as various government functions were formed.

For this former priestess who has the memory of N lifetimes and is now desperate to seek happiness for Li Yun, herself and a group of sisters, it is not difficult to control more than 10,000 people with wisdom.

Moreover, she also has the corresponding professional knowledge, and with proper run-in practice, even if she manages a kingdom like Nessreel, she can do a good job.

Third, in addition to the more than a dozen relatively powerful souls that were put into containers by Li Yun and used for other purposes, the countless bones and souls in the original Ice Abyss Dome were all used for the production of a special body skeleton and a soul box (spirit container).

Subsequently, the special body was sent to the cultivation area of the dark elemental area for the second stage of refinement.

In the end, the body with muscles and tendons was barely completed after a series of three-stage improvements, such as the expulsion of dark forces. At the same time, Li Yun also made a 'spar coffin' for himself.

These were the first items that were arranged to be activated, and were prepared to solve the problem that Li Yun's original blood was almost depleted after recovering the Shadow Clan.

The spar coffin is an amplification container developed by Li Yun after possessing the knowledge of demigods, in order to solve the energy absorption of his body.

This boxy, opaque, dark green sarcophagus will be hung in the most special place in his realm, the Storm Crypt.

It was a narrow air duct that connected the lava field to the surface. The air in the air duct moves so violently that even hurricanes are ashamed of it.

Moreover, due to the disturbance of the wind element in the wind tunnel, the crimson lightning containing powerful energy continued to scream and fly in all directions, endlessly. This energy release phenomenon has been going on for thousands of years, and now, it has become an excellent 'charger' for Li Yun.

The new body is an immortal construct life made using nearly ten advanced skills based on necromancy and alchemy.

Different from the soul of the dark body that Li Yun had previously developed, this body used the drive control method of autonomous spirit mapping.

The body repairs and fills the energy in the underground abyss, but the mind can use a new body to gallop through the world thousands of miles away, and even if the body is completely destroyed, the body will not be affected in the slightest. Since then, Li Yun has become a 'behind-the-scenes manipulator' in the true sense.

For the first time in a hurry, the new body that Li Yun called 'Electro Type I' was a treasure that could make a sensation in the magic world.

But from Li Yun's point of view, it is a failed work. Loss of taste and smell, and painless sense of touch. (In Li Yun's view, as a warrior, I don't know that pain is the biggest defect) Vision, hearing, and perception cannot be compared with the original body, and the strength and speed have also dropped by two grades, and there is no special ability such as bloodline bone blade and breath sealing.

No hair, no skin. Unable to use any spells, unable to perceive various magical elements, and unable to produce the energy that sustains the functioning of the body. There is no digestive system, no reproductive system, no endocrine system, only a set of energy internal circulation system and bioquasi-nervous system that replaces blood vessels.

Even the vocal cords are problematic, and the voice produced is hoarse and difficult, and there is no beauty in it.

However, the main function of the new body has achieved 85% completion according to Li Yun's requirements, and in the absence of more and better similar products to choose from, Li Yun can only succumb to himself.

There are four main characteristics of the new body, the first is the amount of energy carried. The total amount of this body carried was the sum of the energy released by ten drops of primordial blood, and in terms of pure energy, it was larger than the capacity of Li Yun's primordial body at this stage.

Secondly, stability and resilience are very high, and similar problems such as energy backlash do not occur even when the body is hit hard.

Third, it can convert energy into electrical energy release, and the intensity is controllable. This also means that Li Yun has mastered an instantaneous spell-like attack.

Fourth, it has many advantages and some disadvantages of immortal and constructed lifeforms. For example, the damage of the Death and Spirit spells is slight. Heavy damage is not fatal, has some resistance to dark energy, is not treatable, but can slowly repair itself, etc.

The new body is complemented by two other instruments. One is a spar slab energy harvester that converts daylight and moonlight.

The other is an energy converter that converts various elemental forces into energy.

The two machines worked day and night for fifteen days, producing energy equivalent to the sum of the energy that Li Yun could release with a drop of original blood. It is equivalent to 1.2 times the energy used to open the spiritual channel to connect with the god of calamity. It is equivalent to 3 times the energy consumed by Li Yun in the first battle of the dead city.

This also means that if Li Yun is still using energy as unrestrained or in large quantities as before. The lack of energy supply will be his most loyal companion until the situation improves or worsens.

Due to the production design of the two instruments to the top-level application of the combination of alchemy and magic power, unless Li Yun was willing to leak the manufacturing technology to others, he would not be able to manufacture the same instrument after entering the new body.

Personally suspended the spar coffin containing his body in the storm crypt, and it took nearly two months to adapt and adjust, and Li Yun was finally able to do some things as he wanted.

The process that can be described in one sentence is unimaginable with the hardships and efforts behind it. And as the price of his hard-lined, high-profile style and large amount of Force output some time ago, Li Yun gladly accepted this punishment and intended to continue his unrepentant lifestyle.
