Chapter 2102: Chapter 1663: The Former King Has Returned

A few kilometers around, on a heap of rubble, the Monarch and everyone gathered together, casually dug a pit in the ground, and then ignited a flame of Undead Fire.

This flame, which in the Undead Temple requires the devotion of many believers to burn, was a fire that can easily be ignited in the Monarch’s hands.

After lighting the Undead Fire, the Monarch pointed at it and said: "The best way for the undead to pass on their legacy is through the Undead Fire. Every soul contributes its knowledge and wisdom to the Undead Fire, and every soul can also request what it needs from the Undead Fire. This is the best way for the Undead Empire to convey its legacy."

Negris was puzzled and asked: "Then why isn’t there any Undead Fire inside the Temple of Rest?"

"Aren’t you it?" the Monarch replied irritably: "Besides, how many brainy ones are there in the Temple of Rest? Even if it was built, no one would come to contribute."

"Are you saying you caught me back just to let me serve as the Undead Fire?" Negris asked.

The Monarch ignored him and continued: "The Undead Fire has a major flaw because everyone can contribute their wisdom to it. However, some people have profound wisdom, while others have biases. Accumulate too much, and conflicts arise; eventually, no one knows who is correct and who is biased."

Anthony, Ursman, Tyrone, and Xisluo all nodded simultaneously; they were too aware of the severity of this issue.

This is what’s known as information pollution; when out of a hundred pieces of knowledge, a few are false, the cost of filtering out the false knowledge exceeds that of remembering all hundred pieces.

"Passing down false wisdom is not even better than a blank sheet of paper. Thus, some correct methods of inheritance are needed to rectify, like the God of Knowledge."

At this point, the Monarch scratched his head, saying somewhat angrily: "You all know what happened later. I captured the God of Common Sense, but this guy Nage only repeats other people’s knowledge. If their knowledge is wrong, then it will be wrong too. It’s similar to the Undead Fire."

Negris was so angry that he lunged forward to strangle the Monarch: "You old immortal, maligning me!"

The Monarch gave him a quick headbutt and knocked him back.

Ange hurriedly changed the subject, asking: "So, Your Majesty, did you then create the Bronze Book?"

The Monarch shook his head: "I didn’t make the Bronze Book. I found it when I was young, but I never knew what its purpose was. It wasn’t until Nage arrived that I felt this thing could be useful, so I gave the Bronze Book to him. Its usefulness afterward was actually discovered by all of you."

Negris exclaimed in surprise: "The Bronze Book turned out not to be made by you."

The Monarch responded irritably: "How could I make it? I’m not an alchemist."

"So, did you bring back the Bronze Book as a replacement for me?" Negris complained.

"I didn’t replace you. I hadn’t figured out the specific usage of the Bronze Book before I gave it to you. I hoped you could study it and contribute your abilities to the continuation and legacy of the Undead Empire. I just didn’t expect the Faith Storm to suddenly arrive." The Monarch said helplessly.

Ursman pondered and said: "Your Majesty, if your Bronze Book was for continuation and legacy, is it possible that the Exotic Ghost is actually for continuation and legacy as well?"

The Monarch shrugged: "I don’t know about that, but if you find the answer, remember to tell me."

Negris asked: "Old Immortal, do you know who made this thing? Who did you get it from?"

The Monarch said: "I stole it, don’t remember who from, it’s too long ago. Although I didn’t know who made it back then, thinking about it now, I can roughly guess because only he has the ability to make such a thing."

"Who?" Negris and Anthony asked simultaneously, sharing a glance and seeing the same expression in each other’s eyes.

"The Time-Space Ancient Dragon!" they all said the name together.

The Monarch nodded: "It’s most likely him. Of course, it doesn’t exclude some god who fell along the way. But in the whole mix, focusing on inheritance and legacy, besides me, it’s only him."

The Time-Space Ancient Dragon indeed valued inheritance greatly, with its Bloodline Resonance, a talent passed via bloodline. As long as one has dragon clan blood, be it a Giant Dragon, Ancient Dragon, Sub-dragon, Dragonkin, or Dragon-Man, one can evolve through bloodline inheritance to the level of Original Ancient Dragon.

As for the Monarch, if not for Ange, his Undead Empire would have long been destroyed, leaving no legacy, just boasting.

"So, the Exotic Ghost is likely to be a weapon for inheritance, destroying so many God Stars for preserving data?" Anthony concluded.

But after concluding, everyone looked at each other and ultimately sighed together.

"This conclusion is too absurd, I reserve my opinion." The Monarch said.

Negris also said: "I reserve my opinion too."

Everyone ended up reserving their opinions and then moved onto the next topic.

Negris asked: "Old Immortal, is your ability of Shattering Stars forged inside the God Star?"

The Monarch replied: "Yes, Ange, I will pass on my insights on its forging. You should find a God Star with about fifty thousand times pressure to forge yourself. No need to try it from small to large like I did."

Negris chuckled: "Already forging it, Ange has been forging himself inside a God Star with pressure around sixty thousand times. I figured out why he stayed at the Sixth Divine Star for so long; he sensed the internal pressure of the God Star would benefit his Star Body."

"Oh? He’s already forging the body? That’s good. According to my experience, if the pressure is right, one year is enough to shatter the stars." The Monarch said.

Ange nodded.

Ursman, however, asked: "Your Majesty, does the time vary with body size?"

The Monarch was a bit puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Negris explained: "Ange’s Star Body is a giant skeleton four thousand meters tall, different in size, will the forging time also vary?"

The Monarch slapped his thigh bone sharply: "Great! The bigger, the better! The larger the size, the more capacity for increment it can accommodate. My current body is almost at the limit of increment."

Not sure what came to mind, the Monarch fell into contemplation for a while, then lamented: "Unfortunately, I can’t use the method of enlarging the body size. I don’t have as many increments as Ange; this method is only usable by him."

With Ange’s current ability, he could manifest an even larger skeleton for the Monarch anytime. But despite having a large skeleton, the Monarch doesn’t have enough increment to fill it. He doesn’t have as many God Star citizens as Ange.

Unable to fill the body would lose the ability of Shattering Stars, and being unable to virtualize, one cannot move in the void, relying on the traction of Star Attraction might take hundreds of thousands of years to cross a mere road.

Thinking of this, the Monarch temporarily gave up the idea of further enlarging his body size and instead asked: "What’s going on with you and Kelanis? Do you need me to go chop it down?"

Everyone was startled inside, it’s coming, once a king has returned.
