I, the Necromancer, will crush the gods!

Chapter 782 Treating the World as a Playground

The human world has returned to peace.

It is foreseeable that this tranquility will last for some time.

The dragon race has been completely defeated, with very few members remaining, and they could be wiped out at any time.

The vampire calamity brought enormous losses to the Divine Dragon Empire.

According to the final statistics, the Divine Dragon Empire lost more than 20 million people in this bloodline calamity.

One-third of them were combat professionals; some were killed on the spot, while others mutated after being injured.

The mutation is contagious; anyone injured by a mutant will become infected.

This led to a severe chain of infection. Furthermore, the formation of the blood curtain caused many people to die in a frenzy within it.

The total population decreased by about 10%, and this was only because the Divine Dragon Empire was protected by the Eternal Great Wall; otherwise, the casualties would have been even more severe.

But after the disaster, the entire human world came under the rule of the Dragon Empire.

All non-pure dragon race were turned into blood slaves by a secret technique cast by the vampires.

Ultimately, it exploded within the blood curtain in order to summon the Blood Ancestor's clone.

The land stained with blood is gradually recovering, and the monsters that once inhabited it are being reborn.

All the world's dungeons now belong to the Dragon Empire.

With abundant resources, the population of the Divine Dragon Empire will surge.

With a large population, geniuses emerge in abundance. It's believed that the strength of the Divine Dragon Empire will undergo a dramatic transformation in the near future. From this perspective, this disaster has actually brought opportunities for the Divine Dragon people to develop.

The only enemy of the Divine Dragon Empire now is the Abyss. Once the Abyss is dealt with, the Empire can truly rest easy.

Orders were issued from the palace, and the entire nation worked together. In the realm of spirits, the stars shone brightly. In the blink of an eye, two years had passed.

Jiang Chen's soul became even purer.

The Nine-Colored Dragon Soul Crystal spews out pure soul power every day, gradually eliminating impurities from the soul.

Jiang Chen's soul appeared to have a crystal-clear quality.

Above the soul, a law is slowly flowing.

Jiang Chen has recently gained some understanding of the Law of Immortality.

The law of immortality is like a thin thread, sometimes entering the soul and sometimes leaving it, cycling endlessly.

Its presence doesn't seem to have much of a reaction to its coming and going.

The soul seemed to have adapted to the law of immortality, and even if Jiang Chen used the law of immortality, it would not cause any harm to the soul.

With a tremor in his soul, Jiang Chen withdrew his will, and his soul opened its eyes. Both his soul and body were glowing. He had leveled up again, reaching level 88.

The Nine-Colored Dragon Soul Crystal emitted a loud dragon roar, seemingly celebrating for Jiang Chen.

Because of the manifestation of the laws, Jiang Chen's comprehension was very fast and smooth.

In just two years, he went from level 87 to level 88.

Of course, my leveling speed is incomparable to his.

If there are enough monster resources, it might only take two or three days to complete.

Although it took a hundred times longer, the gains were completely different. I gained a deeper understanding of the laws, and my soul also underwent corresponding changes as I adapted to them.

The soul becomes purer, and the soul power becomes more refined.

"You little rascal, you've leveled up again." Every bit of progress made Jiang Chen happy.

Antares's tone was somewhat unusual, seemingly tinged with envy.

Jiang Chen chuckled and replied, "Why aren't you continuing to comprehend the laws of time?" Antares shook his head. "Work-life balance, understand?"

Jiang Chen didn't believe it. "Do you think I would believe that?"

Antares once mentioned that once he began to comprehend the laws, it would often take him decades or even centuries, or even millennia.

Now, the manifested laws of time are laid bare before them, a tremendous opportunity, an invaluable treasure, for any powerful being of any race. How could Antares possibly stop after only such a short time of comprehension?

Unless… he is unable to comprehend it.

Jiang Chen looked at Antares with a strange gaze, making Antares feel extremely uncomfortable.

Antares snorted, "Fine, to tell you the truth, I can't comprehend your laws of time."

"Why?" Jiang Chen asked curiously.

"Like the Law of Immortality, the manifested Law of Time contains your personal will, which only you can comprehend."

The manifested time law is formed through the magic star, which is filled with Jiang Chen's soul power and is Jiang Chen's exclusive soul object.

Therefore, the laws of time manifested through them naturally also carry Jiang Chen's personal will.

Once a law is imbued with personal will, even if it manifests, others cannot comprehend it. Just like Antares was unable to comprehend the law of immortality.

Jiang Chen asked, "Isn't there any other way?"

Antares replied, "No, the laws are inherently complex, otherwise they wouldn't be so difficult to grasp."

"Alright, alright, enough with the nonsense. Now that you've leveled up, go practice your skills and let me vent my frustrations."

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, "No rush, could you tell me something about the human race?"

"Humans are doing very well; this world now belongs entirely to the dragon people."

"Oh? The human race's fertility is truly astonishing; everyone has been trying to have more children these past few years." Jiang Chen was somewhat surprised, not understanding why the entire world belonged to the Dragonkin, so he asked, "What about the others?"

Antares said casually, "They've all disappeared. What use are they if they don't die, since they're blood slaves of the vampire clan?"

He always held vampires in contempt and felt deep disdain for them. Jiang Chen frowned; the world's population exceeded one billion.

The Divine Dragon Empire has a population of approximately 200 million.

This means that more than 800 million people have simply vanished. The methods of the vampires are indeed cruel.

However, from the perspective of the wider world, this is nothing more than a trivial matter.

Genocide occurs frequently, and the destruction of the world is not uncommon.

Jiang Chen frowned. "First came the powerful beast warriors, then the demon dragons and the blood clan, and even the Soul Clan came."

"What is it about our world that attracts them? Is there anything special about our world?" Antares sneered. "It is indeed somewhat special. The foolishness of the previous era has led to the misfortune of your era."

"But what's so special about it? Actually, there's nothing special about it. You'll understand when the time comes."

Jiang Chen said unhappily, "Can't you just tell me directly? Isn't it tiring to always wait until later?"

Antares replied helplessly, "Alright, then I'll tell you. Actually, there's an item embedded in the core of the world."

"This is a precious treasure, and powerful figures from all races want to obtain it."

"But to obtain it, one must first become the master of the world."

"Moreover, this is a closed world, protected by the rules of the greater world, so you understand now?" Protected by the rules of the greater world, this is a closed world, and powerful beings cannot enter.

But there's always a way to get in; for some invincible powerhouses, there are always methods.

However, Antares still exists in this world.

Therefore, the various races could only compete for the treasure within the established rules. Antares thus became a referee-like figure.

Antares will intervene if anyone crosses the rules.

Jiang Chen said in a low voice, "To treat an entire world as a game is truly disgusting."

"No... don't talk nonsense. That person's existence cannot be described like that." Antares hurriedly told Jiang Chen to shut up, a hint of fear showing in his eyes. Clearly, the person behind the scenes was extremely terrifying.

This was the second time Jiang Chen had seen Antares with such an expression.

The first time was when the old man riding the blue ox was mentioned, and the second time is now.

Antares clearly didn't want to continue the topic. "Go learn your skills, and let's leave it at that."
