Let you simulate life, but you change fate every time?!-Chapter 51: The 2nd Era: At the Boundary Between Life and Death

Chapter 51: Chapter 51: The 2nd Era: At the Boundary Between Life and Death

A few minutes later.

All the Skeleton Sentinels were slain by the goblins in the depths of the cave, but Lu Yuan had already obtained the information he wanted.

This cave was complex and easy to defend but hard to attack, resembling an underground labyrinth.

An ordinary person would easily get lost if they rashly ventured inside.

Moreover, at least hundreds of thousands of goblins lived inside, akin to a small Goblin Kingdom.

A direct assault would surely result in heavy losses.

But this was not a problem for Lu Yuan.

Holding the Skull Staff, he quietly chanted a spell.

[Tier Six Dark Magic: Plague Poisonous Fog!]

The elements within a ten-mile radius seemed summoned, converging toward him frantically.

The elements gathered and formed a gigantic Hexagram Magic Array in the sky.

Waves of highly poisonous green mist emerged from the array, spreading through the ventilation shafts to the entire cave depths.

Many weak goblins didn’t even know what was happening before they were corroded by the poison, turning into pools of thick liquid.

Their bodies quickly rotted and melted, creating a large amount of miasma, further enhancing the power of the poisonous fog!

"Kill them all." Lu Yuan, after testing the Dark Magic, ordered the skeleton army to step into the cave and slaughter all the surviving goblins.

He felt no sympathy for these short, ugly green-skinned creatures.

Besides, goblins were weak but numerous.

They were undoubtedly the best upgrade materials for the Catastrophe Skeletons.

Six months later.

Nearly one million goblins living near the Kaggar Mountain Range had fallen to Lu Yuan’s slaughter.

The entire Land of Burial became Lu Yuan’s private garden.

Tens of millions of wild skeletons were all killed or subdued by Lu Yuan.

And the number of his Catastrophe Legion finally broke through the one million mark!

Among them were 400,000 Tier Three Skeleton Warriors, 200,000 Tier Four Skeleton Swordsmen, and 100,000 Tier Four Archers and Skeleton Mages!

In addition.

The scale of the Headless Knight Order also finally exceeded the 50,000 mark!

Furthermore, the vast amounts of gold and silver treasures Lu Yuan had collected were all converted by Lucia through various channels into equipment and weapons crafted by the Dwarf Race.

When the Headless Knight Order donned this equipment, their combat power doubled at least!

After making inquiries.

Lu Yuan finally learned about the origin of the Headless Knight Order from Lucia’s mouth.

A few hundred kilometers away from the Land of Burial, there was a Skeleton Wasteland.

This wasteland spanned a thousand miles, located at the southern end of the Magic World, near the Abyssal Rift, at the junction of life and death.

Five hundred years ago.

A powerful Abyss Demon King, after years of planning, colluded with the Dark Organization, and eventually used supreme power to pierce the world’s barrier, forcibly tearing open a rift in space!

Endless Abyss Demons surged out from the rift.

They killed and plundered, committing all sorts of evil, spreading death and war to every corner of the world.

When the Holy Light Emperor learned of this, he was exceedingly furious.

He immediately dispatched 300,000 Holy Light Knight Order members and over a million troops to subjugate the Abyss Demons.

The Abyss Demons were indeed powerful.

But the Holy Light Knight Order was the nation’s ultimate weapon.

Every knight was a formidable entity, selected through rigorous tests and one among a thousand.

Especially after undergoing the Holy Light Baptism.

While galloping across the battlefield, they could also unleash various powerful Light Magic!

In the face of the indomitable iron cavalry of the Holy Light Empire, the Demon Army was defeated again and again, ultimately being pushed back into the Abyssal Rift.

But the space rift never disappeared and still exists to this day.

Occasionally, powerful Abyssal creatures unexpectedly enter this world.

For hundreds of years.

The Skeleton Wasteland, as the main battlefield between the Holy Light Empire and the Demon Army, buried countless bones and corpses.

Especially under the year-round erosion of the aura of death.

Today, the Skeleton Wasteland has become the stronghold of the Undead Race, home to billions of skeletons and undead creatures!

Lucia captured a large number of wild Headless Knights in the outer regions of the Skeleton Wasteland and organized them into the Headless Knight Order.

"The Skeleton Wasteland, huh?"

The blood-colored Soul Fire in Lu Yuan’s eyes flickered with interest.

After that battle in the Abyss.

To prevent similar incidents from happening again, the Holy Light Empire had almost purged the entire Magic World.

And those undead creatures scattered throughout the world lost their safe havens and had to gather at the Skeleton Wasteland.

Bone Dragons, undead, demon spiders, warlocks, walking corpses, vampire bats, dark mages...

Almost all undead creatures are congregated on this wasteland.

If Lu Yuan can conquer this Skeleton Wasteland, the power of the Catastrophe Legion will surely soar!

However, the Holy Light Empire stationed a comprehensive garrison of over 10,000 Holy Light Knights and more than 100,000 regular troops near the Skeleton Wasteland.

Moreover, this spatial rift serves as a channel connecting the Abyss Plane and the Magic World.

The Abyss Lords would undoubtedly not tolerate the Skeleton Wasteland falling into someone else’s hands.

For Lu Yuan to seize this territory, he must proceed cautiously and not act too hastily.

Additionally.

Norton also brought two bad news.

"Master, based on recent intelligence, the Holy Light Empire has deployed a large number of knights and scouts, seemingly in search of the Demon Race’s bloodline."

Norton’s tone paused, casting a glance at Lucia beside him.

After spending some time together.

Even he could tell that Lucia’s bloodline was extraordinary, definitely more than just an Abyss Demon Race.

"Demon Race bloodline? How did the Holy Light Empire get hold of this information?" A hint of doubt flickered in Lu Yuan’s eyes.

Moreover, the Laine Kingdom is just a vassal state of the Holy Light Empire, tens of thousands of kilometers away from the Imperial Capital, so there’s a significant lag in information.

This indicates that the Holy Light Imperial Family had known about this matter long ago.

But considering that the Holy Light Empire has remained unfallen for a millennium, it surely possesses unimaginable foundations and means, and it’s not surprising they could foresee the future.

"The Holy Light Empire’s massive mobilization suggests that Lucia’s bloodline might be of significant origin."

Lu Yuan contemplated.

First, he ruled out the possibility of Lucia being a Simulator.

Under normal circumstances.

After the newbie protection period.

Each simulation session involves ten Simulators heading to the same Reincarnation World.

But because Lucia had been enslaved by the Undead Calamity for so long.

Lu Yuan knew her inside out, even down to the color of her underwear each day, making it impossible for her to be a Simulator.

What could be the reason for the Holy Light Empire’s great agitation and focus?

Even to the point of going to any lengths to find Lucia?

"Could Lucia be the Child of Destiny?"

Lu Yuan shook his head, dismissing this guess.

There was an unyielding divide between right and wrong.

As someone from the Demon Race, it was unlikely Lucia would be chosen by the Magic World’s Will.

Moreover, if she truly were the Child of Destiny, she couldn’t possibly be enslaved by Lu Yuan so easily.

Unable to find an answer, Lu Yuan decided to put this problem aside for the time being.

"What is the second bad news?" he looked at Norton, immediately inquiring.

"Reporting to Master, the Original Dark Organization has successfully researched the Super-tier Dark Forbidden Curse."

"The Fear Demon King has decided to descend with a manifestation to personally preside over the forbidden curse ritual!"
