Just when the meeting between the many forces was taking place on the side of Bright City, Eco had already quietly returned to the Luoyin Academy with the group of people he had saved. On the way back to the academy, after hearing about the orc's southward journey from Nora, Eco vaguely felt that this matter was not simple, and after thinking about it again and again, he decided to go out to investigate this matter.

Eco's first stop was in the forest where the elves lived. Then, she found the elven king who was left behind in the forest and asked him about it. And the elven queen also told Eco about the words sent back by the elf Nancy, and in this way, Eco also knew that several holy lands and several powerful races had joined forces to prepare some blows to the other two human empires in addition to the Spring Lord.

After hearing from the queen about the development of the situation and their plan to suppress the Terran Empire, Eco felt a little confused in her mind - how did it sound like they were not worried about the three Terran empires and their turn against them?

But when she asked the Elven Queen about this, the Elven Queen said that she didn't know much about the minds of Nancy's old antiques, but had heard Nancy say something like this: "It is precisely because they are the three great empires, and the rulers of the three great empires are undoubtedly some of the most politically advanced among the human race." That's why we can be sure that we don't have to worry about such a thing as the three empires turning their faces. ”

After hearing this, Eco thought for a moment, and then she entered the secret realm of the elven clan and came to the front of the World Tree. The reason why Eco came here first was actually because someone from the elf clan sent her a message, and the World Tree was looking for her.

This time she called Eco over, and the World Tree gave her some gifts, but it also gave her some tasks—unbeknownst to Echo, it would take her so much time that she missed the outcome of the event that had just aroused her interest.

―――――――――――― dividing line

"The Hurston Burial Grounds...... Is this place that has disappeared into the long river of history and is only known to a few living fossil-level figures?" "The World Tree's mission to Eco is to come to this uninhabited island that has long been forgotten by the world, exists outside the continent, and needs to cross an ocean to reach, and then subdue an ancient ghost.

According to the World Tree, this ghost was nothing more than a sad undead who unfortunately died in ancient times but happened to not be able to go to reincarnation. And the reason why this undead spirit was not able to go to reincarnation was because of this cemetery, which was not an ancient cemetery at the time.

According to the research of the great powers of ancient times, this cemetery itself was originally located in a place where the "dead qi" and "yin qi" were most abundant (1), and in addition, it unconsciously gathered (verbs) the grievances of the deceased, and it belonged to a place where sooner or later a big thing would happen if it was not governed. However, at that time, the demigods and god-level powers had long been caught in the prehistoric mythological wars. So at that time, there was no one who could govern this place -- the people at the higher levels did not have the energy to govern, and those who had the time and energy did not have the ability to govern.

Thus, after the end of the mythical wars, the fall of the gods, and the heavy casualties of the demigods, people are even less able to deal with this graveyard that feels more and more ominous and has bred thousands of resentful spirits. And by the time the demigods at that time recovered from their injuries and made up for their condition, this had become a problem that they could not handle.

The dark forces in this graveyard grow stronger every day. And after the protracted war, the power here has grown to the point where the demigods should not be underestimated—demigods of little power like them, manipulated by something to guard the core of the graveyard.

Under the premise of safety first, the strong men in ancient times had to spend a lot of time to explore, and only discovered the "original sin" that made this cemetery have such a mutation - a tombstone-shaped stone named "Spirit Tablet" by the strong people at that time.

This monument does not actually produce evil in itself, but unconsciously attracts a very large range of undead to attach to it - the problem is that among the undead of that era, the number of undead who died due to the lack of order and evil thoughts (resentment, curses, etc.) was far greater than the number of peaceful dead who died (2).

As a result, under the protracted period, it was originally just "without attributes", like a blank piece of paper, and it was stained with the color of "evil". So, gradually, it began to become distorted.

I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it......

Revenge, revenge......

Under the influence of many evil thoughts, it has become eager to take revenge on the society of the living people. As a result, it began to control the ghosts that were attracted to it. And chose to "devour" the power of most of the ghosts, to give a small number of special ghost abilities, in order to strengthen them - and at that time, the number of deaths in the continent was in the millions. And the number of people who can be attracted by it is about 100,000 a year.

Therefore, the spirit tablet does not have to worry about the number of souls being insufficient at all. What limits the number of minions it can create is its own conversion rate - although it can attract 100,000 undead per year, it can actually devour and transform only a few thousand a year. It takes more time to create a higher level of minions—and it won't be able to devour the new undead during that time.

However, what the spirit monument did was undoubtedly against the way of "life reincarnation", so it was natural that it was being targeted - by the restraining force of this world.

It's just a pity that because of the divine war with several other "natural disasters", the suppression force doesn't have the ability to take care of things here, so it makes it bigger.

No, as soon as you slow down, the inhibition will want to do something to it.

And the outcome of this battle between the two sides is that the mainland has lost a group of demigod-level elites, and the minions of the spirit tablet have also been cleared, and many souls that have not been devoured, but have been imprisoned by it, have been given a chance to reincarnate. When the ancient elites could not destroy it, the spirit tablet was sealed and suppressed by the inhibition force through the hands of the descendants of the tree of life at that time, with a divine tree that it had turned into.

And, in order to prevent the spirit monument from attracting other souls, in order to strengthen its own ability, so that a certain **** in the future will break this seal. The inhibiting force even directly split the land where it was located and threw it overseas far away from the mainland and without any living creatures around.

However, after doing all this, the inhibition was also greatly damaged, and there was no way to deal with what happened after this.

Until today, a second, demigod-level descendant of the Tree of Life, has appeared in the sky, Eco. So, the inhibition sent a message to the Tree of Life, telling it to come to Eco to put an end to this ancient testament.

It's not that Eco doesn't understand the words of the Tree of Life, and Eco's patience is also quite good, so I can listen to it babble here all the time, but it's just ......

“...... You haven't explained what this has to do with the ghost I need to subdue. Even Eco was obviously a little overwhelmed, so she brought the conversation back to the subject.
