My military branches can Evolve Infinitely

Apart from that one branch used to intercept the main course of the Stygian River for the Twilight True King, the other parts of the Stygian River had already become sparse.

The Undead tide and the black mist, compared to their peak periods, had significantly decreased in number.

What? You say the Undead Monarch wields the revival Great Force, able to endlessly resurrect battle-fallen undead?

But resurrection comes at a cost.

This time, that Undead Monarch has already resurrected countless undead in this battle, and his power is almost depleted.

He has already risked everything.

Among the ancient beings in the Saint Realm, there are those well-versed in the core Great Force of the Undead Empire, and they naturally understand that Undead Revival involves awakening new undead from corpses, or bringing fallen undead back to life.

But,

resurrection has a time limit, a quantity limit, and its energy cost is substantial... no, it's enormous.

The Great Force of Undead Revival is often used post-battle, as the Undead Empire's grand means of recruiting new soldiers.

It's actually a form of logistical Great Force.

If used consistently in battle, the consumption is unimaginable.

"This time, that Undead Monarch has truly gambled away so much of his resources!"

"For every thousand enemies killed, he would have lost at least eight or nine hundred of his own."

"To us, we certainly wish to see the Twilight True King injured, it's just..."

But if viewed from the perspective of that Undead Monarch, considering his own interests, it wouldn't be worth it.

Completely not worth it.

...

In the Death Domain, within the core region of the Land of the Undead, inside the Earthly Netherworld,

the black fog of death surged.

Countless true spirits of the undead who perished in the Ten Directions Island Domain, as if guided by something, returned one after another.

Then...

"Crunch—"

"Creek-creek-creek—!"

"I'm back, Third Ghost is back~!"

Countless resurrected undead emerged from the enormous 'Undead Burning and Rebirth Site' burning with a ghostly blue flame.

The Corpse Burning Ground and the Undead Burning and Rebirth Site are two significant constructions within the Earthly Netherworld.

The former incinerates corpses, extracting the Power of Death, and also retrieves some materials and factors to be used in the bodily reconstruction during undead resurrection.

The latter, as it is now, directly births resurrected undead in this burning ground.

He has established a standard resurrection process capable of fully automated undead revival.

Otherwise,

resurrecting tens of millions, hundreds of millions, billions of undead would indeed be an immense project.

Even putting the cost aside, repeatedly casting the Great Force of Undead Revival is highly time-consuming and labor-intensive.

And the consumption is indeed enormous.

If he didn't control the Power of Life and Death Reincarnation, using the 'Power of Life' as a cost to endlessly resurrect battle-fallen undead, even if Dead Bone possessed a vast Earthly Netherworld, built numerous energy-supplying buildings like the Well of Death, he would not be able to sustain continuous undead resurrection during war.

Even so...

there are still a batch of small undead that were thoroughly obliterated in the great battle against the Twilight True King, unable to be resurrected.

Dead Bone gazed at the legion of undead sprawling over the hills and valleys.

He sighed:

"Indeed, a True King is truly fearsome in Great Force."

...

Around the same time,

in the inner hall of the Legendary Building, the Observatory Hall.

This is a forbidden area, off-limits to Territory Citizens, and is rumored in Tianyuan City to be a retreat for the Angel King La Biss.

The earthly abode of a god.

La Biss usually does not reside here; she has more luxurious palaces in the Sky Domain. Mu Yuan has also left a room for La Biss in the City Lord's Mansion.

But today,

at the core of the inner hall of the Observatory Hall, in an area guarded by Legend Power,

a Ten-winged Angel King slowly emerged amidst the Holy Light.

She was noble, sacred, elegant, exuding unspoken Great Force with every move.

"Wow wow wow wow, being resurrected for the first time, this is kind of a wondrous experience~!"

"Indeed, I don't have a single injury now, and my Concept Saint Body is restored to its peak state. I feel I could even challenge the Twilight King one-on-one!"

Not afraid in the slightest!

In fact, if La Biss could keep doing a war of attrition against the Twilight King, then...

she could possibly exhaust the Twilight True King to death.

A top-level Saint Realm Lord, who can quickly resurrect with minimal cost, has terrifying strategic significance, something Mu Yuan clearly comprehended.

"La Biss doesn't need to appear for a while, just pretend to be resting and recuperating, to see if any big fish can be lured out."

"As for Dragon Sleep Valley..."

This is not the end.

Mu Yuan already had plans.

However...

The price paid by Dead Bone and La Biss in this battle wasn't much, but for Tianyuan City as a whole, it was considerable.

Prior to this, the Nirvana Divine Phoenix and the Myriad Tide Dragon Venerate were already in injured states, and this time, they'd been wounded even further; hence, they must take some time to recuperate.

National Pillar Luofu Mountain Master consumed a large amount of the power of National Fortune.

The other three national pillars, two held the enemy at bay, while Bai Guozhu confronted the Imprisoned Dragon Lord head-on, injuring him but at a high cost.

The same goes for the Stone Heart Saint King, God of Purity, and Sword Lord Liushi.

For these Saint Realm beings who came to assist, Tianyuan City naturally had to prepare a heavy gift as a token of appreciation.

In fact, if it weren't for the aid of so many Saint Realm beings, there's no way Tianyuan City could have so easily defeated the Twilight True King along with the numerous Lords and Monarchs.

Yet even so...

Mu Yuan stood on the wall of the Heavenly God's Rampart.

Within the rampart, there was a harmonious region of Tianyuan City. Mountain ranges stretched on, forests were lush, rivers surged, and towns stood firm on this land, filled with a bustling flow of people.

But beyond the Heavenly God's Rampart...

The ground had cracked, stretched for tens of thousands of miles, and even those of the Legendary Realm could not see to its bottom;

Chaotic energy storms arose all over the Island Domain, blowing irregularly in every direction;

Mountains came to life, growing strange trees filled with eyeballs;

Huge spatial rifts extended from mid-air down to the depths of the ground, showing no signs of closing;

The continental plates of the entire Island Domain were already cracked, divided into several, tens of pieces, with various disasters proliferating.

Some of these were the remnants of power, blood, and flesh left behind by fallen Saint Realm monsters, which, when merged into the land, formed perilous disaster zones.

In such perilous grounds, let alone ordinary Professionals, even those of the Legendary Realm would face near-certain death.

Dangerous!

Harsh!

In a state of disrepair!

"For such a small island domain to serve as a battlefield for a Saint Realm war, it is indeed too much."

A slight Saint Realm aftershock is enough to leave the Island Domain shattered.

If a Saint Realm being fully exerted their power and launched an attack on the Island Domain, it wouldn't be difficult to sink or shatter it.

In fact, the enemy likely harbored such intentions.

Were it not for the Tianyuan Territory standing firm like an unyielding pillar, propping up the entire Island Domain, with the current state of Ten Directions Island Domain, it would have long collapsed, disappearing into the endless chaotic void currents.

"This is the price!"

"Currently, the Ten Directions Island Domain has lost all vitality, environment, resources, everything."

"The degree of destruction it has suffered can no longer be simply restored through governance."

Of course, it is not entirely unmanageable.

The roots of the Treemen can gradually spread, eventually reaching the whole Island Domain.

Nature Spirit could restore and rejuvenate the land, and Lainey and La Biss could purify the impurities... solutions can always be found.

But compared to destruction, governance is indisputably all the more difficult.

Burdensome! Time-consuming!

Moreover, Mu Yuan did not think his Tianyuan City could remain stable for long; they were most likely not yet finished with governance when another formidable foe would descend.

An Island Domain is just too minuscule and fragile.

"Taking advantage of the destruction this time, where the boundaries between domains were worn down during the great battle, perhaps..."

they could directly piece together a larger Domain!

Mu Yuan pondered.

As Lord Shepherd contemplated how to strike back at Dragon Sleep Valley, and the future of the Island Domain, only a few minutes had passed since the Twilight True King's retreat.

The news of the great victory of the sages from Tianyuan City spread like a hurricane, sweeping across nations and realms.
