Seawater completely swallowed the world. Under the apocalyptic flood, whether they were demons or corrupted naga, all were integrated into the sea.
After performing the World-Destroying Divine Technique, Kunpeng leaped out of the water and floated in the air, casting a smug glance at Sindragosa.
Sindragosa remained silent, exhaling a cloud of ice mist from its nostrils before flying high into the sky.
Folding its claws over its chest, the ice crystal wings on its back unfurled as dense, freezing divine power gathered before it.
As time passed rapidly, an energy ball roughly the size of Sindragosa itself spun at high speed in front of it.
Sindragosa opened its claws and pushed the energy ball forward.
In the next instant, the energy ball exploded, and the freezing energy diffused, turning into countless snowflakes that drifted down from the sky.
The temperature of the naga world plummeted. On the surface of the still-surging blood sea below, ice crystals began to form.
As more snowflakes fell, the freezing rapidly spread.
Before long, the naga world had transformed from a blood sea into a crimson iceberg.
Two gods—one raised a catastrophic flood to swallow the land, and the other brought down ice and snow to completely reshape the environment.
After freezing the blood sea below, Sindragosa glanced at Kunpeng, exhaled another puff of ice mist, and then opened a spatial gate to the Undead Kingdom and flew inside.
...
In the military academy dormitory, Chen Xu was lying on his bed, browsing the forums.
He received a message from Sindragosa saying that the naga world had been handled.
Chen Xu took out the Soul-Inducing Token and sent a message to Xia Qiming, telling him that the sea race had been dealt with.
From now on, the oceans of Blue Star would be under Chen Xu's command. He was the Pirate King of Blue Star!
Xia Qiming didn't give much of a reply to Chen Xu's grand words, simply sending back two words: "Received."
After a while, seeing that Xia Qiming hadn't replied further, Chen Xu sent him another message, asking Xia Qiming to find him some more dungeons. The corpses from the South Realm trip had been mostly converted, and he needed a refill to help the undead army break the one-billion mark as soon as possible.
Right after the message was sent, Xia Qiming's call came through directly.
Chen Xu clicked to answer, feeling shocked. It had to be Old Xia—this work efficiency was unparalleled; the message had just been received, and he had already found a dungeon.
"Hello, Manager Xia, did you find a dungeon? How many? Where?"
"No, there are no vacant dungeons at the moment. To prepare for the ultra-tier dungeon, conquest-type dungeons need to be used to test some weapons of mass destruction and legion battle arrays."
"Furthermore, students from other universities also need to experience more battles to enrich their combat experience."
"Since the difficulty and scale of the ultra-tier dungeon are unknown, Daxia can only treat it with the standard of full participation."
"Uh, then why are you calling? It's not like another shadow of Hell has appeared somewhere, right?"
"You're overthinking it. If there really was another shadow of Hell, I wouldn't ask you to handle it. Although you're the only mythic-tier, Daxia's epic-tier powerhouses aren't exactly pushovers."
"The naga dungeon was mainly due to the underwater environment. Since that Kunpeng of yours has become the Sea God, it was most convenient for you to handle it."
Xia Qiming paused and took a sip of water to moisten his throat.
"Even though there are no dungeons for you to clear, your goal isn't really to clear dungeons, but just for the monster corpses inside, right?"
"Exactly. The number of my undead army is too small. I have a case of firepower anxiety—without enough troops, I don't feel safe."
"Heh, you have more undead alone than the rest of Blue Star combined," Xia Qiming quipped.
"Dungeons are out, but I can give you the monster corpses from within the dungeons directly. I recall that for a Necromancer to convert corpses, there's no requirement to personally kill them, right?"
"No, any corpse will do. Manager Xia, for the monster corpses in the dungeons, I remember Heavenly Crafts usually recycles them, don't they? Can't they be processed into equipment?"
Strictly speaking, monster corpses in dungeons were part of the dungeon loot. In particular, Heavenly Crafts would recycle monster corpses—infinitely, in fact.
These were fresh and useful transcendent materials. Various experiments, as well as the production of transcendent equipment and items, were inseparable from them.
Therefore, every civilian warband and official Daxia legion would have professional battle-field cleanup crews handle the corpses and sell them to Heavenly Crafts after clearing a dungeon.
"Heavenly Crafts will keep the higher-tier monster corpses, but the ordinary ones can all be given to you."
"Things are different now. In the past, we didn't have the resources, so we had to grit our teeth and use the trash weapons made from ordinary monsters."
"Now that conditions have improved and we can forge high-level weapons, the demand for those ordinary and low-tier monster corpses isn't as high."
After speaking, Xia Qiming pushed a contact to Chen Xu on the smart terminal.
Chen Xu clicked it and saw: Liu Gao, Director of the Dungeon Monster Material Office of the Logistics Management Department of Heavenly Crafts.
"Regarding the dungeon monsters, just contact Director Liu. By the way, you don't have anything else going on lately, do you? If not, come to the academy the day after tomorrow to discuss the matter of the ultra-tier dungeon."
"I'm not busy; I've been quite free lately. But do I have to go? I don't really have any decision-making ability."
"In the whole of Blue Star, you're the only mythic-tier. It's fine if I don't go, but you must be there. That's all for now; I'll send you the location then."
With that, Xia Qiming hung up the phone.
Chen Xu then pulled up Director Liu's information and dialed the number.
"Hello, may I ask who this is?"
"Director Liu, hello, I'm Chen Xu."
"Chen Xu? Is this Lord Mythic Chen!"
The voice on the other end suddenly grew louder and higher in pitch.
"Uh, that's me."
"What can I do for you, Lord Mythic Chen? As long as I can help, I will certainly do my best."
Then, Chen Xu relayed what Xia Qiming had told him.
Director Liu immediately stated there was no problem. After the two made an appointment, they hung up.
The source of troops was resolved. Next, he would wait for the undead army to expand to one billion before considering the Ascension Plan to the Land of the Undead.
However, troop conversion would take some time. Regions like the Bone Thicket and Slaughterhouse didn't have the same high conversion efficiency as the Everfrost Divine Kingdom. Even with sufficient corpses, it would take time.
There was a little over a month left until the Daxia New Year. Chen Xu wondered if he should wait until after clearing the first ultra-tier dungeon before heading to the Land of the Undead.
After all, with the precedent of the time flow difference in the Dragon Court, the time flow in the Land of the Undead might also be inconsistent with Blue Star. Once he left, it was hard to say how many days it would take.
Moreover, this was Blue Star's first ultra-tier dungeon. According to convention, the first kill of a dungeon should have extra rewards. Given the internet-addict nature of Blue Star's World Will, there really might be something.
...
Two days later, Xia Qiming sent Chen Xu a location.
Chen Xu took out his smart terminal, opened the navigation, placed it on Sindragosa's head, and told it to follow the directions.
Soon, they reached the destination, which turned out to be a teaching building. The meeting was on the fifth floor, so Chen Xu flew directly there.
Entering the conference room, Chen Xu took a quick glance. They were mostly familiar faces; almost everyone who had appeared in Hanyuan was there.
As for those from the academies and Heavenly Crafts, Chen Xu only knew a few, such as Qi Xuanheng and Xia Deliang.
"Alright, time's up, everyone is here. Let's begin." Xia Qiming walked up to the podium and turned on the projector.
"This is the information on the ten ultra-tier dungeons provided by the World Will. The purpose of today's meeting is to decide on the traction target for this year."
