Chapter 1288: Chapter 1288

At this point, the construction of the fifth-tier territory had been completed, and all the fifth-tier buildings related to the Undead in his possession were also finished. Checking his panel, Du You indeed found that his contribution rewards had reached 9 stars and even exceeded that amount. However, now was not the time to submit, as he was a 10-star, and Du You did not want his star rating to drop.

With the enhancement of his power, Du You had truly come to appreciate the benefits of a higher star rating. As a 10-star, he could handle two sisters by himself, and even surpass them. If reduced to 9-stars, that would likely no longer be possible.

Never mind thinking so much; since it was already completed, the next step would be to occupy the entirety of Corpse Beast Plain. Du You speculated that once he had taken over Corpse Beast Plain, he might be able to elevate his territory to the sixth tier.

Although it was difficult to upgrade territory levels in such a high-ranking world, the Undead Creatures here were plentiful indeed.

"Next, let’s start taking over the entirety of Corpse Beast Plain, and try to eliminate as many corpse beasts here as possible. This influence might indeed allow our power to ascend to the sixth tier."

"We’ll go right now, Master. You just relax," the two sisters had long desired to leave this place. Although there were many Undead outside, those could be killed without reservation.

Du You watched the sisters rapidly depart and chuckled, shaking his head. These girls were becoming livelier by the day. Thinking back to when they first arrived at his house, it seemed like it was just yesterday.

The sisters were quick, but the other Undead in the territory were not slow either. His high-tiered produced Undead, though not intelligent, were not entirely without thought, so they could still lead troops into battle.

As the Lich King, whom Du You had focused on cultivating, had a strong talent for combat, it was unfortunate that the Lich King could not leave him; otherwise, managing the territory with him would have been best.

Du You stayed within his territory and did not leave. Bone Dragons, along with Dragon Tomb Guardians and subordinate Demonic Flame Skeletons, began to sweep across the entire plain. Large quantities of grey weeds were cleared away, revealing the ground beneath.

In the Netherworld, there was no need to worry about charges like environmental damage, as the environment here was already dreadful enough. Those plants of the Netherworld were of no use to the Undead, many being harmful.

The entire Corpse Beast Plain began to undergo tremendous changes. A vast number of corpse beasts were cleared away; these creatures, not being controlled, knew to flee when in danger. However, with the whole plain surrounded, the corpse beasts might evade once or twice but could not always escape. In the continuous sweeping raids, they would eventually be eradicated.

With the constant eradication of corpse beasts, the experience points of the entire territory continued to rise steadily.

A major deployment of fifth-tier forces was something these corpse beasts could not withstand. Ultimately, there wasn’t a single sixth-tier Undead in the whole Corpse Beast Plain, and within days, all territories on the plain had been destroyed.

"Are there actually Demon Creatures here? Makes sense, this place is close to the front line after all."

One day, Du You found that his troops had eliminated a demon. From that day on, encounters with demons became more frequent. To Du You’s surprise, there were also demons masquerading as Undead. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝓷𝓮𝓽

Now he knew where the disguise items he manufactured for his own use came from. It seemed that such items were quite common among demons, possibly having been widely prevalent once.

On one side of his territory was the front line, where large numbers of Undead and demons fought fiercely, and there were not a few sixth-tier creatures. On the other side was the Land of Chaos.

That place was a complete mess, but there was no lord, and lords were rejected from appearing.

Suddenly, as a powerful lord rose nearby, the Undead there noticed for the first time and became apprehensive. Some of the Undead started to leave, while others strengthened their defenses.

There were sixth-tier beings on their side too; without them, maintaining the Land of Chaos would have been impossible. Not only were there sixth-tier creatures, but there were also quite a few.

Perhaps because they noticed there were no sixth-tier beings on Du You’s side, these Undead had not yet been alarmed, but some sixth-tier Undead began to watch cautiously. As Du You continued to expand his controlled area, his influence grew larger.

Many fleeing corpse beasts ran to the Land of Chaos. Since corpse beasts had no brains, the Undead there could capture them and turn them into their own pets, which was a good thing for them.

This was also why Du You’s actions had not provoked their suppression. But if Du You dared to cross the warning line, he would face attacks from the Undead of the Land of Chaos.

Perhaps ordinary Undead Creatures would not adhere to such agreements and might attack wildly in a swollen fury. But Du You was aware of the situation there; in fact, he had thoroughly inquired about it before coming here. Therefore, under Du You’s strict constraints, not only crossing the warning line but even approaching it was prevented.

They similarly avoided the battlefield; he did not wish to suddenly receive a summons from some sixth-tier Undead as he still needed time to develop. Without sufficient time, it would be absolutely impossible.

Seeing that the experience points for his territory had already surpassed half. Speaking of which, this was the fastest increase in experience points in the history of the territory. Of course, this was also related to the endlessly spawning Undead Creatures.

Du You had also discovered the unique aspects of this world since there would always be some Undead creatures naturally emerging.

Like monster respawning, if an area had too few Undead, more would crawl out from underneath, continuously engaging in combat which drove their evolution upwards. This was the rule of this world; otherwise, these non-reproducing Undead would have gone extinct long ago.

This method of continuous sweeping and killing had also been recognized by this world. Once the world recognized it, the plain would no longer arbitrarily produce corpse beasts but would produce varieties of Undead like those in his own territory that had high affinities with him. Leaning on his territory, they could directly become his subordinates.

This, too, was a way to increase military strength or rather, it might be said that this was the primary method for lords of this world to enhance their military strength. Only after reaching a certain density of forces would this natural respawning cease.

However, that day, Du You suddenly discovered an unexpected visitor had entered his territory. It was a fifth-tier Undead, but not a corpse beast, rather a Zombie. This Zombie was heading straight toward his territory.
