Nirvana carried Chu Chen into the defense shield.
The palace was vast, with various Star Beast corpses along the corridors, including bodies of Emperor-level Star Beasts.
Chu Chen roughly counted and found there were over a hundred, with about ten percent being Emperor-level, while the rest were late-stage Emperor-level.
In the center of the palace was a thousand-foot altar, inscribed with mysterious runes, above which was a large skeleton.
This skeleton was extrely complete, resembling the remains of a Western Giant Dragon.
According to Zhao Qingzhu, this skeleton belonged to the Master of Undead, and to accept the inheritance one only needed to infuse the altar with the Power of the Undead to awaken the Master of Undead's residual soul.
Pointing to the altar, Chu Chen said solemnly, "Nirvana, let's begin."
Nirvana, upon hearing this, didn't hesitate and imdiately operated the Power of the Undead toward the altar.
Soon, a ghastly green light suddenly lit up the outermost part of the altar.
As ti passed, the light on the altar grew brighter, slowly illuminating the entire altar.
When the altar was fully illuminated, the skeleton above was enveloped in green light, with two wisps of ghostly fire erging in its eye sockets.
Seeing this, Chu Chen was astonished, his gaze filled with amazent at the skeleton.
At that mont, the ghostly fire in the skeleton's eyes began to flicker fiercely, then spread across the skeleton, eventually igniting it completely.
As Chu Chen watched, srized, the skeleton suddenly began to move.
Its tail lightly swayed, creating a cracking sound of bones colliding, followed by its limbs, neck, and head, and finally its mouth.
The mouth opened and closed, making a "kakak" sound of teeth colliding, followed by a hoarse voice.
"An ant, how interesting. You've awakened ; is it for my inheritance?"
Nirvana replied in a buzzing voice, "Indeed."
"Not bad, over the years, you are the only undead elent creature that ets the inheritance conditions, but you have only satisfied the first condition. To gain my inheritance, you must sacrifice a million souls. Can you do that?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Chen's face showed a touch of joy. The Master of Undead's inheritance requires fulfilling two conditions, which suggests that his Divine Format is complete.
However, the second condition doesn't seem too difficult; only a million undead need to be sacrificed, and it is far from what the Master of Destruction requires for the second condition.
This thought led Chu Chen to a bad idea.
By now, Nirvana had already agreed to accept the inheritance.
Seeing this, Chu Chen hurriedly intervened, "Master of Undead, I have a question; could you please clarify it for ?"
The Master of Undead responded in a deep voice, "Ask away."
"After Nirvana receives the inheritance, what level of Divine will he be?"
Surprised by the query, the Master of Undead hadn't anticipated such a question.
Quickly recovering, he answered in a somber voice, "I haven't been a Divine for long; my Divine Format is simply that of an Interdiate God. Once your Guardian Beast becos a Divine, it will also be rely an Interdiate God."
Chu Chen's expression imdiately turned grim upon hearing this. Even if Nirvana beca a Divine, it would still be unable to compete with the Destruction Dragon Emperor.
The Master of Undead scoffed, "Kid, you're courting death, daring to look down on ."
Chu Chen quickly explained, "You've misunderstood, Master. That's not what I ant. My enemy is simply formidable."
"Hmph! Could your enemy be a High-level God?"
Chu Chen nodded heavily, "Indeed, a High-level God."
"What? What's the situation?" the Master of Undead exclaid.
Chu Chen didn't hide anything and briefly explained the situation.
After a mont of silence, the Master of Undead spoke, "If you can't win, you can flee. Once you beco a Divine, you can leave this world and survive in another one. When you are strong enough, you can return for revenge."
Chu Chen was delighted upon hearing this; it was a potential escape route.
However, taking everyone away would undoubtedly be challenging.
Thinking of this, Chu Chen hurriedly asked, "Master of Undead, how many people can an Interdiate God take away from here?"
The Master of Undead replied in a deep voice, "If you have large enough special spatial equipnt, you can take as many people as you want. Without such equipnt, you can't take many. After all, outside this planet, the universe lacks oxygen, and your Guardian Beast will have to consu a lot of power to ensure their safety. The more people you take, the more power will be consud."
With this, Chu Chen fell silent, realizing the situation was worse than he had imagined.
The Master of Undead asked again, "Do you still wish to accept my inheritance?"
"Yes, of course," Chu Chen quickly replied.
Even if Interdiate Gods cannot counter the Destruction Dragon Emperor, beasts like Lei Yao, possessing multiple talents, are not completely powerless if a battle ensues. However, he is unaware of the true strength of High-level Gods; everything remains uncertain.
With an affirmative answer, the Master of Undead didn't hesitate, allowing Nirvana to accept the inheritance.
Chu Chen didn't linger in that place; he returned imdiately to the alliance.
Half a day later, in Zhao Wudi's office at the alliance headquarters, Chu Chen and the others regrouped.
Chu Chen recounted the events involving the Master of Undead.
Upon hearing it, Zhao Wudi and the others' faces turned extrely grim.
The worst-case scenario had co to pass, but there was no desperation; after all, they had weathered many disasters, overcoming them all. Since matters have reached this point, they could only prepare for the worst.
"We need to prepare for both possibilities," Zhao Wudi said solemnly.
Long Batian replied coldly, "Indeed, we can let Chu Chen take so chosen ones away, and we'll stay and continue fighting the Star Beasts. The Destruction Dragon Emperor is still undergoing inheritance, and now is the ti for us to counterattack. Since it wants to wipe out our kind, we won't let it have it easy."
Zhao Wudi said seriously, "This is a critical mont. I need to organize a high-level eting to finalize the list of evacuees and sort the alliance's resources. Chu Chen, when you leave, how many can you take with you?"
Chu Chen shook his head, "I'm not sure yet. Lei Yao and the others haven't completed their inheritance, and it'll require a lot of energy along the way. Finding a life-sustaining planet is still uncertain."
The two fell silent again.
Monts later, Zhao Wudi said solemnly, "There's no turning back. Let's confirm the list first; the rest is up to fate."
Chu Chen and the others nodded gravely.
That night, Zhao Wudi gathered all the Emperor-level experts at the headquarters to start a "spark plan" eting.
As the news spread, the atmosphere grew tense, yet everyone knew they had no choice.
After a night of deliberation, the spark plan was thoroughly refined.
The spark plan was divided into three steps.
The first step was to confirm the list of those leaving Blue Star.
The list consisted of thirty percent High Rank Beast Masters, primarily those with great potential, and a small portion with exceptional combat abilities.
The remaining seventy percent were extraordinarily promising chosen ones.
The second step involved resources, including living supplies, cultivation resources, and cultivation techniques, soul skills, etc.
The final step was an ergency plan. Many unknown dangers would be encountered when departing Blue Star, but everyone agreed that regardless of the outco, Chu Chen must ensure his own safety.
Everyone understood that only with Chu Chen alive, they might have the chance to reclaim Blue Star.
