Secondly, for any creature possessing a skeleton, especially those with strong skeletons, such as Giants or Giant Dragons, this indirectly increases their danger.

When anything becomes a resource and there is profit to be made from it, those merchants can turn it into a business, and some even make it a profession.

Not to mention, isn’t that the case for Dragon Hunters?

Many people embark on the extremely dangerous path of hunting Dragons; some for hatred, but more for profit, as Dragons are often synonymous with wealth.

In the Material Plane where Humans lead the rise of the sage races, the activity areas of Dragons have become increasingly narrow, and this reason cannot be ignored.

In Gaven’s other hometown, this situation is even more extreme, with many animals and plants being eaten to extinction because of their medicinal value, or only surviving in farms because of their deliciousness.

Fortunately, this is a world possessing the Gods.

This skeleton technology, Gaven dares to engage with in the Bottomless Abyssal, but if it were in the Material Plane, it would likely attract the hostility and counterattacks of numerous True Gods.

Not only would the Benevolent Gods not sit idly by, but even those Gods who govern Death would find it hard to tolerate such matters.

The Undead is just a small branch of the Death Clergy, and most Death Gods would tolerate its existence, but would not allow it to grow uncontrollably.

Because doing so would easily disrupt the balance of life and death, weakening the strength of the Death Gods, and even possibly lead to dereliction.

Gaven does not intend to completely rely on the Gods for this matter, as those Evil Deities related to the Undead have never been so scrupulous, and are even willing to push for its growth and strength for their own power enhancement.

To achieve a once-and-for-all solution, the approach is to replace and surpass skeleton technology with other research directions.

As long as it loses its value and there are better directions, people interested in it will naturally decrease.

But now, since skeleton technology is the main strength, Gaven has not tied his own hands; what needs exploring is still being explored.

When the Road Divinity Power was integrated into the territory, Gaven’s control over the Giant Bone Domain elevated to a whole new level.

He could freely control the Soul Fire Channels, changing their flow direction according to his wishes.

All Soul Fire Channels under his control would automatically rise, absorbing the surrounding skeleton remains, transforming the area into new skeleton roads, and even the location of soul pools could be adjusted as he wished, or even created.

The initial contact with soul pools felt extraordinarily incredible, very mysterious.

But after understanding their operating principles, they were simply the fusion of Soul Energy and Necromancy Summoning Laws.

To artificially create a soul pool, one only needs to integrate Soul Energy with the corresponding Summoning Laws.

Of course, these Summoning Laws aren’t just easily produced. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Gaven possesses a super cheat—Undead Slaughter Divinity.

This is another distinction between the Undead Slaughter Divinity and Slaughter Divinity; the latter can only occupy existing soul pools, while the former can create them.

And it is, as it should be, natural and right.

Because the two are mutually dependent; when the first Undead Spirit was born, the concept of undead arose, leading to the first spark of Undead Divine Nature.

Upon mastering the Undead Divine Power, one naturally gains the ability to shape Undead existences.

However, this requires Gaven to have control over the corresponding Summoning Laws to create a soul pool to summon such Undead.

In other words, he must first occupy a soul pool of this type, learn the corresponding Summoning Laws—those engraved in the Consciousness Sea of the soul pools—and previously controlled them through immersion to manipulate the soul pools.

Just as with converting soul pools earlier, the number of soul pools Gaven can build is equivalent to the Divine Nature Power he controls.

The greatest benefit of autonomously building soul pools is that Gaven can fully employ strategic tactics in the territory.

A soul pool infused with multiple points of Divine Nature Power represents a main city.

While those infused with one or even several points represent a branch city or satellite city.

The skeleton roads link them together.

When a soul pool is attacked, the surrounding soul pools can react immediately, preventing the previous situation of scattered disorder.

Building numerous Skeleton Castles to protect these soul pools is not yet realistic in the short term, nor is it significant, as the Undead have no living needs in this regard.

However, like the previous confrontation with General Sethstein, crafting a favorable battlefield is quite simple, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack, waiting for reinforcement from the surroundings to arrive.

From an aerial view, the Giant Bone Domain’s appearance has undergone significant changes, with the crisscrossed skeleton roads, strategically scattered soul pools, and newly recruited Undead armies resembling a giant war chessboard.

Advance, Gaven can, in a short time, mobilize hundreds of thousands of Undead armies from all directions.

Retreat, the Giant Bone Domain, spanning over 200,000 square kilometers, will become a massive battlefield with ample strategic depth, allowing for extensive strategic and tactical deployment to exhaust and annihilate the enemy until counterattacking.

This strategic depth is continually expanding, and after incorporating all the Dragon Bone Territory of the Skeleton Dragon King, his Undead Slaughter Divine Power can increase by at least fifty points, and the controlled territory area will double to 440,000 square kilometers.
