Most undead lack their own will, and those mid-to-low-tier undead lords are either promoted or created by high-tier undead lords.

It’s no exaggeration to say that their will is the collective will of the territory, naturally allowing easy shifts without rebellion, no matter how absurd the reason.

This situation greatly inspired Gaven, as it isn’t confined to the Bottomless Abyss; it can extend across the lower and even upper planes, that is, all divine power planes.

There, he only needs to consider those divine power presences. The territories or God Kingdoms he governs, even his believers, inevitably highly assimilate with him, his voice being the voice of the entire territory, his will the will of the entire territory.

The control and divine nature force enhancement he has over the Slaughter Territory are certainly not unique to him.

Rather, all True Gods possess it, their enhancements far exceed his. After all, his control over many forces is indirect, and his use of divine nature force hasn’t reached the extreme, this is vividly displayed on the path.

When Gaven fully mastered the Giant Bone Domain, officially choosing to take root here, he infused a touch of Road Divinity, opening yet another new door for Gaven.

Originally, it was the skeleton road construction team paving the skeleton road on the ground, and then the Soul Fire channel beneath spontaneously floated up, actively merging into it, making the flow of Soul Fire smoother while imparting certain magic force to these skeleton roads.

Undead of the same origin walking above will have their base movement speed increased by ten percent.

Non-origin undead will have their base movement speed reduced by ten percent, the Soul Fire originally meant to provide acceleration has become reverse resistance.

Even so, enemies still have to tread through.

Even with a reduction effect, it’s still a road, the marching speed on it still surpasses trudging through the rugged bones plains.

And this kind of skeleton road in the Plains of Bone is an innovative existence, without a second occurrence elsewhere.

Not to mention whether previous advanced undead lords had the intention to construct their own road in the Plains of Bone.

Even if they did, they didn’t have the ability or conditions, because undead excel at destruction, not construction.

It’s not simply due to their lack of intelligence and need, it also relates to their distorted, deficient souls. Their aesthetics differ starkly from ordinary beings.

They view terror, gloom, distortion, and deficiency as beauty, especially the latter, which complements their deficient souls.

This aspect not only manifests in the Plains of Bone but also any place dominated by undead on the Material Plane; within years, they strip themselves of splendor, leaving desolate ruins, turning into terrifying sites unwelcoming by the living.

This is related to the abundant negative energy within undead bodies, showcasing enhancement and long-term preservation effects on highly compatible special materials like flesh or bones.

It exhibits enhancement and long-term preservation effects, like the bones of the Plains of Bone weathering countless years of erosion, not only failing to rot, but thanks to soaking in the negative energy environment for so long, their strength increases, giving rise to concepts like ten-year, hundred-year, thousand-year, or even ten-thousand-year-old bones.

The corpse of the Obris Demon Lord is a ten-thousand-year-old skeleton, and among the four advanced undead lords, excluding the incorporeal Burning Flames Queen, the others fall under the thousand-year-old skeleton category. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The older the bones, the higher the fusion with negative energy, resulting in higher undead life dice under equivalent souls, and stronger attributes.

Hundred-year-old bones in hardness surpass ordinary steel.

Upon reaching the thousand-year or ten-thousand-year level, they inherently possess powerful damage reduction abilities, like the Shadow of Night Body, only formidable magic or Order Light Spells can counter these effects.

But when used on many ordinary substances, negative energy exhibits strong corrosive effects.

This corrosion differs from the substance-level damage caused by strong acid, instead resembling an aging agent, accelerating the passage of time, achieving effects like a year equating to ten years or even a hundred years.

This trait causes undead farming to remain an unimplemented plan.

The negative energy leaked by undead acts as a poison to most crops, causing mild effects like stunted germination, withering, reduced yield, and severe repercussions like polluted land where nothing grows.

It’s fortunate, otherwise for the Kingdom of Ser or Santarin Association’s serfs, such evil organizations would spell catastrophe, converting them directly into undead.

After all, even the most frugal serfs need food, need rest, and encounter birth, aging, sickness, and death, while undead are a one-time investment, serving eternally if not destroyed, never ceasing.

This cost-effective deal is calculable by those profit-driven merchants and spellcasters.

Gaven’s mad pursuit of skeleton technology is not a positive development in the long run.

Because if widely applied on the Material Plane, it will yield a series of severe consequences.

Firstly, the Skeleton Cannonball fired by the Skeleton Cannon is driven by negative energy, and the explosion-covered area will be corroded by negative energy.

Without specialized purification, these regions become barren, and over time may even become hotbeds for undead incidents.

Of course, this isn’t exclusive to the Skeleton Cannon; other large-scale elemental magic or Magic Weapons also have corresponding side effects, just differing in intensity, and not all are malign.

For instance, a region ravaged by terrifying Fire Magic results in an excessive fire element. Summers feel unbearably hot, making crops prone to drought, but in winter it resembles geothermal regions, allowing crops to continue growing.

Similarly, areas bombarded by Earth Magic become riddled with ravines and difficult to distinguish between stone and soil, top-tier farmland may degrade into barren wasteland.

Even an excess of benevolent positive energy isn’t necessarily a good thing; it causes cancerous overgrowth, leading to uncontrollable weeds, and vigorous crop growth that doesn’t guarantee more grain production, as energy itself is chaotic.

Overall, among elements, negative energy’s destruction is most severe and hardest to govern.
