Evolving My Undead Legion In A Game-Like World

Chapter 1356: False Realm

Previously, Michael might not have thought too deeply about such a title, but after learning that True Gods existed above Demigods, his imagination was now running wild. In any case, the Demon God was another existence he couldn’t hope to confront directly.

As for the final individual, the Lotus Empress, Yū Meng...

Michael knew even less about her. Unlike the Heavenly Father and Leviathan, whose titles provided some clues about their origins, Yū Meng was a complete mystery. That wasn’t nearly enough information to determine where she resided or what kind of powers she possessed. Naturally, confronting her physically was equally unrealistic.

However, wasn’t the reverse also true?

Weren’t they also incapable of doing anything to him?

So what if they were powerful?

If any of them could find their way into the Origin Battlefield and personally challenge him, they could forget about leaving alive.

As for approaching him in Aurora, that was another matter. Putting aside whether the Federation would even permit such powerful outsiders to casually enter its territory, Michael was confident that his five hundred and fifty percent boost to Law effectiveness would allow him to teach them a lesson about underestimating a hardworking youth.

The current situation was no different. As long as Michael wasn’t in their territory, he had no reason to fear them so much that he wouldn’t dare retaliate, even in his current state.

Michael immediately established a connection with Jester. At the same time, within his Mausoleum, a full ten thousand undead from the batch he had brought from the Netherworld crumbled into ashes.

The moment their existence was sacrificed, a strange sensation welled up within Michael’s consciousness.

Hmm?

It was a feeling of strength. Not the kind of strength that came from an increase in physical attributes or a sudden advancement in rank. Rather, it was as though the power of Heavenly Revelation had become considerably more accessible to him. The faint pressure he had experienced since entering the vision weakened, and his understanding of Heavenly Revelation and what he needed to do became much clearer.

Of course, this wasn’t solely because of the sacrifice, but also because he was connected to Jester. The connection between them allowed the strength of their respective Laws to reinforce each other, while the sacrifices Michael had provided helped compensate for the enormous cost of their actions.

For the first time since the three mysterious beings had interfered, Jester felt the pressure on his consciousness ease considerably. His green eyes brightened.

"Master, it’s working."

"Good."

However, Jester didn’t appear interested in merely defending himself. After silently examining their strengthened connection for several moments, he suddenly spoke.

"Master, I have a suggestion."

"Hmm?"

"Rather than dealing with all three individuals simultaneously, I believe we should focus on one of them."

Michael raised an eyebrow.

"Which one?"

"The Lotus Empress, Yū Meng."

"...?"

Michael was somewhat surprised.

"Why her?"

"Because I believe we have a means of interfering with her interests in this world."

Jester turned his gaze toward the confrontation taking place below the rooftop.

"According to my calculations, Master, the man fighting Lily and Timi is most likely one of the Lotus Empress’s followers."

Michael’s expression changed slightly.

"Are you certain?"

"Not entirely. However, the probability is high enough that I believe it’s worth investigating."

Michael became thoughtful.

Jester continued.

"If we use him as a point of contact, we may be able to break the balance these three have created over this world."

"More importantly, if we’re lucky, we might even obtain information about their activities and interests in this world."

Michael nodded slightly. It was a reasonable strategy, and he didn’t hesitate.

"All right."

He looked toward the confrontation below.

"Let’s target the Lotus Empress."

Tianluo Realm.

One of the higher cultivation realms in the universe.

Deep within this realm, far away from the territories occupied by cultivators and mortals, stood an enormous forest shrouded in darkness.

The forest was eerily silent. Towering trees stretched toward the sky, their dark branches intertwining to form an enormous canopy that blocked all traces of sunlight. Strangely, the forest wasn’t entirely devoid of light.

Numerous flowers and plants emitted faint, colorful glows, illuminating the surroundings with an enchanting radiance. However, beneath their beautiful appearances lay something sinister. The entire forest seemed to possess a strange consciousness of its own.

At the center of this forest stood an exceptionally beautiful woman. She wore a thin, translucent white dress, and her long black hair flowed freely behind her. Her eyes were completely white, without the slightest trace of pupils.

Naturally, this woman was none other than the Lotus Empress, Yū Meng.

At this moment, however, her expression was far from pleasant.

Bang!

A slender hand struck the trunk of a nearby black tree. The enormous tree trembled slightly but suffered no visible damage.

Yū Meng frowned.

"Who?"

Her beautiful brows drew together.

"Who dares interfere with my fate?"

Her voice was soft and charming, but the anger hidden within it was unmistakable. For someone of her cultivation, having her fate investigated and interfered with was already a considerable insult.

What made the situation even more infuriating was that the offender was an existence far weaker than herself.

An insignificant creature actually dares to provoke me?

Yū Meng’s expression darkened.

As an Immortal Ascension cultivator, there were very few beings in the universe who would dare offend her.

Although she had already taken measures to deal with the offender, she couldn’t completely dismiss the matter.

The interference had come at a particularly sensitive moment, as the weak existence responsible had somehow touched upon something she had been carefully preparing for.

Earth.

That newly awakened world was currently one of the closest opportunities available to her to advance into a higher realm. A realm where she could finally become a True Immortal.

"..."

Yū Meng fell silent.

To outsiders, and even to many cultivators within the Tianluo Realm, the Immortal Ascension Realm was considered one of the ultimate achievements of cultivation.

After all, those who reached it possessed extraordinary strength and lifespans so vast that they appeared almost endless. However, Yū Meng knew the truth.

Immortal Ascension...

A faint trace of mockery appeared on her beautiful face. Despite its magnificent name, the Immortal Ascension Realm wasn’t truly a separate cultivation realm.

It was a false realm.
