Necromancer: I Am A Disaster-Chapter 567: The World Is A Cage, And Emperor Di Went To Dig Through A Hole In It

Antares’ deep, muffled voice echoed, “Everyone dies. What’s there to cry about? I’ll never understand you humans. Short lives, yet so many tangled emotions.”

Lin Mohan looked up at him and bowed, “Lord Antares, may I ask… where has my teacher gone?”

Antares shook his head, “I can’t tell you.”

A blunt refusal, without even a shred of courtesy.

Disappointment clouded Lin Mohan’s eyes. She knew that if Antares didn’t wish to speak, no power in the world could make him.

She simply stood there, staring at him with her big, glistening eyes, silent and tearful.

Antares blinked. Ten long seconds passed before he sighed in defeat, “All right, all right, I’ll tell you. You and your brother are equally annoying.”

“Thank you, Lord Antares.” Lin Mohan said quickly.

Antares snorted, “Let’s be clear, I’m only saying this because of that brat Lin. It has nothing to do with your teacher. He’s not worth that much consideration.”

“And I’ll only say it once. Whether you understand or not is up to you.”

“The world is a cage. Once, this cage had a passage leading outward. But that passage has long been sealed.”

“It’s nearly impossible to break through now… but someone dug a hole. If one can dig through that hole…”

“Your teacher went to dig through it. Do you understand?”

Lin Mohan’s brow furrowed, “This hole… is it dangerous?”

“I already told you, there’s a 10% chance of survival. It’s not without hope. If he succeeds, the sky is the limit.”

Lin Mohan opened her mouth again, but Antares cut her off.

“You’re not as clever as your brother. He wouldn’t have kept asking.”

“Of course, if you wish to know more, you can make a deal with me.”

“Complete my task, bring me what I desire, and you’ll earn the answers you seek.”

Lin Mohan asked without hesitation, “What do you require, Lord Antares?”

Antares sneered, “You’re not qualified yet. When you reach half-step Transcendent God-level, then we’ll talk.”

Lin Mohan nodded, acknowledging the truth in his words. Her earlier panic over Emperor Di had clouded her mind.

But now her thoughts grew sharper, her aura steadier.

“It seems that in your eyes, Lord Antares, Moyu is more outstanding.”

Antares responded, “Indeed. He’s brilliant, the most exceptional individual I’ve ever seen.”

“And it’s only because of him that I’ve granted you the right to speak with me at all.”

“Our conversation ends here. You may go.

“When you reach half-step Transcendent God-level, come find me again. Then, we’ll make a deal.”

Antares closed his eyes, and the world around Lin Mohan dimmed.

Darkness swallowed her sight, and an irresistible force swept her away.

When her vision returned, she found herself in the Human World.

The familiar scents of the Human World filled the air.

“Antares… what kind of being are you exactly?”

A cold gust brushed past, sending a shiver down her spine.

In her spirit world, Lin Mohan could sense Antares’ will slumbering deep within.

Even a single fragment of his will was enough to protect her. How powerful must the main body be?

From Antares’ words, Lin Mohan realized that he seemed quite familiar with Lin Moyu.

And in his eyes, her brother’s status was utterly unlike anyone else’s.

Thinking of her brother, Lin Mohan’s eyes sparkled, “Moyu, you’re amazing. I’ll definitely protect you.”

“And Teacher, I believe you’ll make it through. We’ll meet again someday.”

She cast off her grief over Emperor Di’s departure and steadied her heart as an elder sister.

For Lin Moyu, and for Emperor Di, she had to grow stronger.

Her talent destined her to advance rapidly, to climb higher and faster than anyone else.

She vowed to push forward without pause.

…

Lin Moyu, meanwhile, tirelessly raided the dungeon.

It took him only half a day to rise from level 60 to 61.

Upon reaching level 61, the undead army expanded to 52,890 skeletons, surpassing the 50,000 mark.

Lin Moyu summoned the Skeletal King using 50,000 skeletons.

The Skeletal King, forged from those 50,000 skeletons, possessed attributes of 2.3 million each, for a total of 9.2 million.

It had grown stronger, yet still fell just short of true God-level power.

The increase in power hadn’t scaled linearly; some hidden limit restrained further growth.

Even so, the Skeletal King’s might was now infinitely close to God-level, enough to rival level 89 world rank bosses.

Against fake God-level opponents, it could fight on equal ground.

But when compared to true God-level powerhouses, it was still lacking.

However, with the Enhance Troops skill active, the Skeletal King could break through instantly, wielding genuine God-level power for 30 seconds.

How far that power could reach, even Lin Moyu could not yet tell.

Despite its newfound power, the Skeletal King’s dungeon-clearing efficiency had already reached its limit.

The monsters within were strong, but whether it was the previous Skeletal King or the current one forged from 50,000 skeletons, both could still one-shot them.

The difference was negligible.

Lin Moyu even experimented by forming two Skeletal Kings, one from 20,000 skeletons and another from 30,000.

Yet regardless of configuration, the Skeletal Kings sometimes failed to slay monsters with a single blow.

The efficiency still hadn’t improved much.

Lin Moyu continued to maintain a dungeon-clearing rate of once every 25 minutes.

Upon reaching level 61, the required EXP increased again. Each dungeon run now granted only about 3.6% EXP.

Even so, he could still level up once every half a day.

Lin Moyu knew that from level 60 to 65 would be his fastest growth phase.

After level 65, the pace would inevitably slow. But even then, his speed would remain far beyond that of ordinary class users.

For most, even with relentless effort, gaining a single level could take an entire year.

Without such effort, it might take two.

By contrast, Lin Moyu could gain a level in just a few days.

With a rate hundreds of times faster than others, there was nothing to complain about.

Lin Moyu worked tirelessly, using eight Advanced Cooldown Talismans to continuously reset the dungeon and rapidly gain EXP.

Outside the dungeon, other class users were left speechless.

Over the past few days, they had witnessed what could only be described as a miracle.

Before their eyes, Lin Moyu’s level soared like a rocket—from level 60 to 65 in just over four days.

Only then did his pace begin to slow.

Four days later, he reached level 66.

In total, it had taken him just nine days to climb from level 60 to 66, an achievement beyond comprehension.

No one dared to question him anymore.

News of Lin Moyu’s frenzied leveling in the middle stage Kunlun Divine Palace dungeon spread across the entire Human World.

Some refused to believe it, but that didn’t matter.

At least here, thousands had witnessed it with their own eyes.

In those few days, not a single other party entered the dungeon.

Everyone was focused on Lin Moyu, watching him clear it alone, witnessing a living miracle.

After reaching level 66, Lin Moyu checked his Advanced Cooldown Talismans. He could still raid the dungeon 120 more times.

“After level 66, each raid gives less than 0.8% EXP. Even with the remaining raids, I won’t reach level 67.”

“It’s already been 10 days. Teacher’s preparations should be nearly complete by now.”

“The Soul Devouring Beasts can’t be allowed to feed unchecked, or things will spiral out of control.”

“I’ll finish the remaining raids, then head back.”

Lin Moyu’s gaze drifted toward the Jialan Guild camp not far away.

For the past several days, a pair of bright eyes had been watching him constantly.

Mu Xianxian had barely taken her eyes off him in the past 10 days.

Even in the two or three seconds he appeared outside the dungeon each time, Lin Moyu could feel her gaze, gentle and warm.

He raised his hand and waved toward her. In the next instant, a lovely figure appeared before him.

“Moyu!” Mu Xianxian called out sweetly.

Her smile was pure, untainted as a blank sheet of paper, breathtakingly beautiful.

Lin Moyu smiled, “I’ll take you dungeon grinding. It might be a bit boring though… and maybe a little tiring.”

Mu Xianxian shook her head, “It won’t be boring. I’m not afraid of being tired.”

“Then let’s get started.”

Lin Moyu handed her an Advanced Cooldown Talisman, and together, they stepped into the dungeon.
