Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

The spreading red blood cloud, at this moment, emitted a purple glow, gradually transforming into a cluster of auspicious purple clouds.

Within the Stone Hall, the elemental whirlwind also nearly dissipated under the oppressive force of Hongsha's outburst, quelling the elemental chaos.

"Not bad, not bad, the potential is even greater than that of Black Dragon Sister."

Using [Heart of the Lord] to advance, the faster the promotion, the greater the potential for subsequent power.

Hongsha became an Epic Boss, and her template evolved in less than a second, which was several times faster than the Undead Jade Horse.

"Thank you, Master, for your blessing. Your servant will surely serve you well!"

The devilish and fiery figure was displayed before Zi Liyuan without any hint of modesty.

Hongsha even stretched out her jade-like index finger, lightly tracing the chiseled and handsome face of Zi Liyuan.

"Cough, cough, stop fooling around. I need to assimilate the Heart of the Secret Realm first; you hold on."

Such a calamitous ghostly temptation was something that Lord Zi truly couldn't withstand!

Thus, Lord Zi slapped her perky buttocks with one hand, pushing her aside, and bit open his other hand directly, then grabbed the Heart of the Secret Realm.

His Spirit emerged from the body, and with the nourishment of fresh blood, Zi Liyuan immediately sensed the rule forces of the entire Secret Realm.

Having the experience of assimilating the heart of a Fallen Angel from the Necro Realm, Zi Liyuan found the assimilation of this Heart of the Secret Realm to be adept, and soon his Spirit found the essence of the Secret Realm hidden within the forces of the rules.

His Spirit wrapped in blood, plunged directly into the essence of the Secret Realm.

[Ding! Lord Zi Liyuan, you have gained ownership of the Spectre Secret Realm and can freely control the opening and closing of the Secret Realm!]

[Ding! Lord Zi Liyuan, as the first to successfully conquer the Secret Realm, you have received New World No. 99 reward: Spirit Crystals x10,000, Lord's Treasure Chest (Gold) x1, Prestige +1000 points!]

...

A series of system prompts rang in Zi Liyuan's ears.

"Whew, such a small Secret Realm, its output can only be said to be just barely adequate."

Through the assimilation of the Heart of the Secret Realm, Zi Liyuan had already gained basic understanding of this Spectre Secret Realm.

Overall, compared to the Necro Realm, the Spectre Secret Realm was far from comparable.

In terms of size alone, the Spectre Secret Realm was only one percent the size of the Necro Realm.

As for the output, the difference was even greater.

Within the Necro Realm, not only could a large number of death crystals be produced, but there were also eight major Undead tribes, capable of continuously producing eight types of Undead BOSSes.

But the Spectre Secret Realm didn't have that much to offer, producing only a little each week.

[Spectre Secret Realm output: Spirit Crystals +1000, Common Resources (wood, stone, iron ore, copper ore) x1000, Fine Resources (wood, stone, iron ore, copper ore) x100, recruitable spectres +100, Wraiths +50, Elite Spectres +25, Rare Phantom King +5.]

After gaining control of the Spectre Secret Realm, every week, Zi Liyuan could obtain this much in resources, but recruitment required additional expenses, which could be paid with resources or Spirit Crystals.

Of course, the Secret Realm could be opened once a week to refresh resources.

There would be five guardian BOSSes inside, and defeating them could result in drops of equipment and Skill Books and such.

As for why there was no big BOSS like Hongsha, it was because Hongsha was a special individual nurtured by this Secret Realm, a unique being that would not appear again upon death.

Now that Zi Liyuan controlled this Spectre Secret Realm and had signed a slavery contract with Hongsha, naturally she was no longer considered one of the guardian spirits within the Secret Realm.

"A Secret Realm that boosts the production of Wraiths and Spectres is better than nothing, I suppose."

Back on Blue Star, spectre-type troops had been relegated to reconnaissance duties, and Zi Liyuan didn't pay them much attention.

There was no helping it—the damage they could inflict was mediocre at best. The only thing they had going for them was that both Wraiths and Spectres could turn incorporeal, making them excellent scouts for gathering intelligence.

However, compared to Vampires, Wraiths and Spectres carried a heavy malevolence, enjoying the hunt for living beings, whereas Vampires, aside from their penchant for blood, could outperform them in all other aspects.

"To thoroughly assimilate the Heart of the Secret Realm will take quite some time, and every second counts right now. I'll leave that for later. Hongsha, take me out of here."

Having previously conquered ancient ruins and then ventured into the underground tombs, only to find himself trapped in a secret realm, Zi Liyuan had already lost a considerable amount of time.

It could be said that the sky outside had already darkened into night, and if he did not hurry back to his territory, he was afraid he might miss the midnight treasure chest refresh.

This was the last day of the protection period, and after tonight, he feared there would be no more treasure chests to refresh for him.

Therefore, Zi Liyuan prepared to immediately exit the secret realm and then rush back to his territory.

"This one will take master out now."

Hongsha gave a seductive smile, then her entire jade body gently wrapped around Lord Zi from behind.

The immense pressure threw Zi Liyuan into turmoil, causing his seven emotions and six desires to surge forth.

However, in the next moment, he was once again submerged in an infinite darkness, and when he next appeared, he was already on a mountain peak outside.

"Master, you are out."

The Undead Jade Horse snorted, turning into a blur, and in an instant, it appeared beside them.

The ghostly fire in its eyes glanced at the unclothed Hongsha, and especially sensing the epic aura on her, it grunted unhappily.

This damned siren must have bewitched master, making him use the [Lord's Heart] to elevate her life force!

"Let's go, we're heading back to the ancient ruins town, and then home."

Zi Liyuan flipped onto the Undead Jade Horse, and with a sweep of his arms, he pulled Hongsha down from his back and held her close in his arms, pressed against his broad chest.

In the next instant, the scenery flew past rapidly as man, horse, and ghost shot out like arrows released from their bows.

With the epic boss mount, the Undead Jade Horse, the speed of their return trip was exceptionally quick.

However, the skeleton brigade and the Shadow Leopard, along with the Gale Wolves, were left far behind.

But Lord Zi wasn't too worried about these Undead Bosses. They had cleared powerful monsters along the way, leaving none in their path.

Even if new monsters appeared on the road back to the territory now, they were merely small fry, no match for these Undead Bosses.

You see, the Shadow Leopard was a rare boss of Third Order Peak, and its strength was formidable, flanked by two Third Order Peak elite bosses, the Gale Wolves, not to mention the hundred or so Skeleton Bosses.

He made it back to his territory just before midnight.

The first thing Zi Liyuan did when he returned was to open the Lord's panel and then look at the resources column.

Without hesitation, he clicked on the upgrade button for the Lord's Mansion!

[Ding, consuming common materials (stone, wood, iron ingot, copper ingot) x6000, fine materials (stone, wood, iron ingot, copper ingot) x600, silver ingot (white) x100, energy 600. The upgrade of the Lord's Mansion to LV6 has begun, countdown 30 seconds!]

Seeing the materials he had finally gathered diminish significantly, Zi Liyuan felt speechless for a moment.

Luckily, 30 seconds passed in the blink of an eye, and once more, a soft golden light enveloped the Lord's Mansion.

Amidst the golden light, the entire Lord's Mansion began to expand and transform.

A grand mansion, an enlarged space, and a newly appeared great hall added to the majesty of the Lord's Mansion.

[Ding, upgrade complete, congratulations to Zi Liyuan for becoming a LV6 Lord, and the scope of the Lord's territory has been expanded!]

[Ding, congratulations to Zi Liyuan for being the first Lord in New World No. 99 to upgrade to LV6, reward Spirit Crystal x1000, random treasure chest (blue) x2, New World No. 99 prestige 20 points!]

[Ding, the Lord's Mansion has been upgraded to LV6, and the territory has expanded by 100 square meters.]

[Ding, the conditions for the Lord's Mansion to upgrade to LV7: common materials (stone, wood, iron ingot, copper ingot) x7000, fine materials (stone, wood, iron ingot, copper ingot) x700, silver ingot (white) x200, gold ingot (white) x100, energy 700.]

A series of notifications rang in Zi Liyuan's ears.

Meanwhile, the announcement of his upgrade of the Lord's Mansion to LV6 began to broadcast across the entire Sea of Realms in New World No. 99.

After being broadcasted three times consecutively, Lord Zi's identity as the number one Lord was once again exposed, drawing the attention and discussion of all lords.
