Chapter Summaries

Yang Shi urged Yang Si and Yang Fan to burn the foreign-race corpses blocking their advance instead of letting the Wraith Race god dictate the pace of the war. Yang Fan considered the enemy’s costly tactic and asked how far their army had advanced, leaving the purpose of the corpse blockade unresolved.

• Yang Shi concluded that the Wraith Race god was using endless corpses to delay the invasion and ordered them burned so the army could keep advancing.
• Yang Si warned that burning the remains would raise temperatures and cause severe air pollution, but Yang Shi proposed buying gas masks and insisted they not follow the enemy’s rhythm.
• Yang Fan reviewed the corpse-storage site, where three S-Rank Life Essence Conversion Pools and relocated Nine Profound Ice Pagodas struggled to handle and preserve the enormous supply of corpses.
• Yang Da agreed that the poorly coordinated corpses served mainly to slow the War Weapons, and Yang Fan found the Wraith Race god’s disregard for their cost suspicious.
• Yang Fan asked whether their frontline army was still positioned on the outskirts of the enemy’s Divine Kingdom.

Yang Fan ordered his forces to let the Wraith Race reinforcements stall their advance while they collected the corpses, suspecting the six Third-Order Gods were protecting valuable resources. Five days in the Real World later, the corpse stockpile had transformed the Eternal Corpse Mine, but Yang Fan decided the localized changes were tolerable as long as the corpses kept coming.

• Yang Fan told Yang Da to let the Wraith Race delay his army while he watched for their next move and planned to target their reinforcements.
• Yang Si ordered the frontline followers to collect every corpse the Wraith Race sent, while the army held its position instead of advancing or pursuing.
• Five days passed in the Real World and five hundred years in Yang Fan's Divine Kingdom, where the Life Essence Conversion Pools accelerated zombie growth and four additional corpse pits were filled.
• Yang Da explained that the Wraith Race cultivated by absorbing resentment lingering in corpses, which served them like Spirit Stones.
• Yang Fan learned that the corpses had made the Eternal Corpse Mine's surroundings barren and deathly, but accepted the changes as temporary and continued collecting them.
