Necromancer: A New Era

In the center of the Holy Empire, the towering Papal Temple was once a beacon of faith, but now it is shrouded in a haze. The Pope's throne is empty, replaced by a majestic war god wearing armor. In his golden eyes, divine light flickers, as if he can see through all the falsehoods in the world.

The powerful gods stood solemnly below, their eyes full of reverence for the god of war. However, in this reverence, it was difficult to conceal their indifference to human life.

"How long will it take to gather the remaining human beings to the imperial capital?" The voice of the God of War echoed in the hall, cold and ruthless.

A powerful god stepped forward, bowed and replied: "Lord God, the human pope has been disloyal recently and no longer works for us wholeheartedly. I suggest..."

Before he could finish his words, the God of War raised his hand to interrupt him: "I already knew this. But now, we still need him to come forward so that we can better control humans. Send strong men to follow, and make sure to gather the remaining people to the imperial capital as soon as possible."

The words of the God of War revealed his indifference and disdain for human life. Ever since he devoured five million people in front of the Pope last time, the Pope had completely given up. He understood that these so-called gods never regarded humans as real lives, but just another way of keeping them captive.

In the eyes of the gods, humans are nothing more than ants, and their lives can be taken away at any time and sacrificed in exchange for the power the gods need. This attitude of indifference to life makes humans feel deeply desperate and helpless.

However, the God of War does not care about human feelings. In his eyes, there is only the desire for power and hatred for that alien. After the war between gods, that alien fell to this plane with serious injuries, and set up a restriction in this space, trapping them here for a thousand years. Now, they have finally found a way to break the restriction, which is to sacrifice humans in exchange for power.

"As long as I sacrifice the remaining humans, I can recover the power of a mid-level god." The God of War thought to himself, "Then I can go to the Demon Abyss and kill that alien and complete my mission."

Thinking of this, a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes. The powerful gods below felt this aura and lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.

In the indifference of the gods, human life was trampled upon like grass. They were gathered in the imperial capital, waiting for an unknown fate. The Pope could only watch his faith being destroyed and his people being sacrificed in helplessness and despair.

This is a world where gods and humans coexist, but it is also a world full of inequality and oppression. The power of gods is strong and ruthless, and human life is fragile and pathetic. In such a world, can humans find a ray of hope? Can they break free from the shackles of gods and regain their dignity and freedom?

All of this is unknown. But no matter what, human beings will not give up hope. They will fight in their own way until the last moment. Because, although life is fragile, the will is always unyielding.

The God of War turned and left, leaving the powerful gods looking at each other in bewilderment. They knew the Lord's determination and understood that the fate of mankind could not be changed.

Soon after, a large number of humans gathered in the imperial capital, and they were forced to a huge square. In the center of the square stood a mysterious altar, surrounded by a strange atmosphere. The Pope stood on the altar, his eyes revealing endless sadness. He looked at the humans in front of him, his heart was full of contradictions. On the one hand, he was angry at the behavior of the gods; on the other hand, he was powerless to change it. At this moment, the sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder. A dazzling light fell from the sky and shot directly into the center of the altar. The god of war slowly descended, and his body exuded a powerful aura. People looked at this god in horror, at a loss. The Pope clenched his fists and prayed secretly for a miracle to happen. However, there was only indifference and determination in the eyes of the gods. He raised his hand and prepared to launch the final sacrificial ceremony.

Ariel had led the descendants of the Thorn Flower Family and the remaining members of the distant Elf Alliance Empire to come here more than a year ago. In order to continue the family and to fulfill her father's last wish, she wandered among the elven nobles and obtained temporary shelter by relying on her past cooperative relationship with the elves. But this was not a long-term solution. The elves were proud. Although they had no hostility towards humans, she could clearly feel that the elves were unwilling to let them live here, but they maintained a superficial willingness and did not embarrass them.

Ariel stood on the balcony of the tree house and looked into the distance, muttering, "I wonder how he is doing? Rumor has it that a necromancer single-handedly challenged a thousand-man beastman army. Was it you?"

In the City of Hope, Tang Yue, who was discussing magic topics with Lina, suddenly felt like sneezing, but he suppressed it. Although it was strange, he didn't think much about it.

As if she noticed his abnormality, Lina stopped the demonstration and asked in surprise: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I thought of something else, just continue!"

Although Lina had some doubts, she suppressed them and continued to demonstrate the 5th level life magic, trauma recovery.

Recently, Tang Yue suddenly had an idea. He wanted to keep the summoned undead skeletons in this plane permanently, instead of having them disappear after a certain period of time.

I found Ephthisis and asked him about the method, but Ephthisis replied that he could not answer questions related to the law of death because he was practicing the law of darkness.

Through unremitting research, Tang Yue discovered that the summoned skeletons were in different states. The first was the skeleton summoned by the staff. The soul fire of this skeleton gave him a sense of grayness and no vitality. The skeletons summoned by ordinary mental power were slightly different from those summoned by the staff. There was a violent breath in the soul fire, and the strength was enhanced. The second was the skeleton warriors summoned by the high-level undead summoning spell. This kind of skeleton had a sense of vitality and a trace of life flowing in it. According to the outline of the law of death in this world, this is completely impossible to happen, because according to the description, death and life are completely opposite.

Tang Yue watched the spells cast by Lina, the flow of the breath of life, carefully felt the breath of life magic, and then carefully observed the soul fire of the skeleton warrior, looking for the secret in it.

Just as he was pondering, the huge soul body in the spiritual space vibrated again. Subconsciously, Tang Yue's soul immersed in it. A large amount of soul breath spread, the power of the contract was digested, and a sense of satisfaction from the soul filled the entire spiritual space.

Subconsciously, Shushuang made a sound. "Hmm?" Hearing Tang Yue's strange sound, Lina stopped again. Seeing Tang Yue frowning and closing his eyes, she couldn't help but sigh. Did this guy watch my magic demonstration?

Suddenly, there was a tremor in the void, and the Book of Innate Necromancer appeared, emitting a faint light, and it was suspended in the void in front of Tang Yue, trembling violently.

The powerful soul aura spread out, wrapping Tang Yue like a cocoon of light. Lina's eyes condensed, and she realized that this guy must have got some opportunity, and his soul power was about to break through. So she left quickly and notified Efissad to seal off the entire library.

In the spiritual space, Tang Yue looked at the soul body in front of him and felt the changes in the spiritual space. Tang Yue's consciousness gradually became clearer, and he felt that his soul became more substantial and powerful. He opened his eyes and saw the soul body in front of him, and a feeling of gratitude surged in his heart.

At this time, countless soul fragments turned into rays of light and merged into Tang Yue's body. Tang Yue felt the power of the soul body. This time he understood some mysteries about life and death. Some complex insights about the law of death seemed to be instilled in his consciousness, as if it were the origin. The breakthrough of the soul made him seem to have entered a new realm. He seemed to be able to perceive the fluctuations of the laws between heaven and earth. A mysterious feeling filled his consciousness.

He decided to try to apply this knowledge to the spell of summoning skeletons to see if he could create skeletons with real life force.

The next moment Tang Yue woke up, raised his staff, concentrated his mind, and cast a summoning spell. A ray of light flashed, and a unique skeleton appeared in front of him. The soul fire of this skeleton burned more vigorously, and its body exuded a powerful vitality.

Tang Yue's eyes flashed with surprise. He succeeded! He created a skeleton with vitality. Through observation, he found that the skeleton could understand some simple words and execute some simple instructions. However, he also realized that this might attract the attention of other forces, and he had to use this new ability carefully.
