Lin Li rode on the Crimson Dragon, and glanced at the Undead Army that was like a vast ocean below. Without hesitation, he turned around and flew towards a tower in the distance.
Seeing that Lin Li had suddenly left, Cheyenne, Elder Randy, and the others felt their hearts sink. No one knew what the young mage was going to do when he left. In their opinion, the greatest possibility was that he would abandon them and escape alone.
Cheyenne and Elder Randy could still clearly remember the murderous corridor on the last floor of the Central Tower that made them flinch at the sight of it. Among all of them, only the young mage was able to pass through the corridor and enter the hall at the back. If he really escaped back inside, even the terrifying Undead creature in the sky would not be able to enter through the space trap in the corridor.
The Space Trap in the corridor was created by the Immortal King with power that was close to that of a deity. Putting aside the fact that the Undead creatures in the sky were close to the Sanctuary-realm, even if they had truly reached the Sanctuary-realm, they still wouldn't be able to break through the seal of the spatial trap. It could be said that after the Undead creature awakened, the hall on the sixth floor was the only place in the entire Sky Castle that was absolutely safe.
Of course, they also knew that if they were trapped in the hall, they would not be able to come out in a short period of time. Unless he reached the Sanctuary-realm at some point in time and had the strength to contend with the Undead creatures, he might even die of old age in there. However, thinking about the young mage's age and his achievements, as well as the Seed of Eternity and the huge magical crystal in his hands, he might really be able to fight his way out after reaching the Sanctuary-realm.
Looking at Lin Li's back, Cheyenne, Elder Randy, and the others were filled with complicated emotions. They were filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment. Although they all knew that no one had the obligation to die with them, and it was normal for them to go their separate ways in the face of disaster.
In fact, Lin Li had long thought of the escape route of the Central Tower. The space trap in the corridor would definitely ensure his safety. However, unless it was absolutely necessary, he did not want to hide in there. It was no different from being imprisoned. Besides, he was no longer alone now, and the Tower of Dusk still needed him to take charge. He didn't want to wait until he had the strength to leave. The Tower of Dusk that he had painstakingly developed had already declined and even disappeared.
More importantly, Lin Li was still thinking about Osric's mausoleum. There was a high possibility that the debris of the stars, Nothingness, would be very important for him to advance to the Sanctuary-realm. If he now had the seven pieces of the debris of the stars, it would be a good choice to go into seclusion in the Central Tower for a while. However, he only had four pieces of the debris of the stars now, and it would undoubtedly be much more difficult for him to reach the Sanctuary-realm.
Riding the Crimson Dragon, Lin Li rose into the air and looked down at the towers that were distributed in all directions. The 36 towers that formed the Psychic Array were also the magic nodes of the huge Conquering Mageweath. Under Lin Li's control, the Crimson Dragon circled slowly from the tower to the surrounding streets, and then to the buildings around the streets. It had a panoramic view of everything.
According to his speculations, if the power of the Psychic Array was not obtained by converting the magical elements in space, then there had to be other ways to input power. Only by knowing the way to obtain power would Lin Li be able to come up with a targeted way to affect the operation of the Psychic Array.
The Psychic Array was composed of 36 towers, and what was the core of the 36 towers? How were they closely connected to form the Psychic Array? How did the other forces that were used as power play a role in the Psychic Array, and how were they converted into the Power of Death?
The tower was not only a part of the Psychic Array, but also a magic node of the Conquering Mageweath. Although the cobweb-like streets on the ground were not very complicated, it would take a good eye to distinguish between the two. Besides, given the current situation, there was no time to ponder and study, and the only thing he could rely on was his eyes and the knowledge in his mind.
Lin Li frowned and stared at the patterns on the ground without blinking. His mind was processing all sorts of information at a high speed, and after finding the parts related to the Psychic Array, he chased after the source of the mana.
However, when Lin Li saw the part that was inputting mana into the Psychic Array, he couldn't help but be stunned. It turned out that after chasing all the way, he actually discovered that although the towers were part of the Psychic Array, they were still used to transmit the power of the Psychic Array using the streets that constituted the Conquering Mageweath as the magic circuit.
"This … This is incredible!" Lin Li was immediately stunned by his discovery. It was not as simple as stacking two maps together, but rather, it was equivalent to completely embedding the Conquering Mageweath and the Psychic Array together.
Be it mageweaths or magic arrays, they were both very rigorous subjects that could not tolerate any mistakes. During the process of drawing, a change in the lines or nodes could lead to the failure of the entire mageweath magic array. Now, the Conquering Mageweath and the Psychic Array in front of Lin Li were actually sharing the same magic circuit, just like a pair of conjoined twins with different brains but the same heart.
Of course, comparing them to conjoined twins did not mean that there was anything wrong with such a Psychic Array. On the contrary, regardless of who created the Psychic Array, such a simple and efficient design was simply amazing. Even Lin Li felt that he might not be able to achieve that.
If there was still time, Lin Li would definitely study the special relationship between the Psychic Array and the Conquering Mageweath. He believed that even if he had reached the Guru-level in inscription, he would still be able to gain a lot of inspiration from it. Unfortunately, what Lin Li lacked the most now was time. The Undead Army had almost filled up half of the Sky Castle, and the terrifying aura above his head was getting thicker and thicker. It was as if the Undead creature would awaken at any time.
Just as Lin Li was thinking about how to deal with the Psychic Array, he suddenly got goosebumps for no reason, and a creepy feeling rose in his heart. Lin Li, who had sensed it, looked up into the sky, only to see a pair of scarlet eyes glaring at him fiercely through the thick black fog.
"Connoris, could that guy in the sky be Osric? If it's really Osric, his power should be more than just close to the Sanctuary-realm." Lin Li could already clearly feel the mana waves emitted by the Undead creature in the sky. Now, the Undead creature seemed to be very close to the moment of awakening. However, being infinitely close to the Sanctuary-realm meant that it had yet to reach the Sanctuary-realm. There was a huge gap between the two.
Highlord Osric was a powerhouse above the Sanctuary-realm back then. Since he had already obtained all of the Immortal King's Necromagic inheritance, there seemed to be no reason for him to fall from the Sanctuary-realm when he transformed into an Undead creature. Even though he inevitably lost some of his power when he transformed into an Undead creature, his realm was more derived from his perception of the Laws, which would not disappear because of the weakening of his mana.
Unless something happened to Osric during the conversion, and he lost his memory of enlightenment, the possibility of that happening was very slim. If it were other Necromancers, they might have made a mistake, but Osric was an amazing genius from the Dark Age, and the disciple of the Immortal King.
"This … I'm not sure. The appearance of that Undead creature is already very clear. Be it its appearance or mana waves, it seems to be very similar to Osric." Connoris also felt that it did not make sense, but he had been with Osric for years. Given his understanding of Osric, there was no reason for him to recognize the wrong person.
"No, no, there's definitely something wrong. Even if Osric transformed himself into an Undead creature, he should have directly transformed into a Lich. There's no need for him to incubate in this Psychic Array for so many years. Even Osric's younger brother has successfully transformed himself into a Lich. With Osric's intelligence, it's impossible for him to make such a low-level mistake. " Lin Li was puzzled, but the focus now was not to figure out the identity of the Undead creature, but to find a way to solve the dilemma in front of him. He shook his head, and drove the Crimson Dragon towards a tower.
However, at this moment, a force suddenly separated from the Undead Army. Several Humerus Wyrms and a few Vampires flew towards Lin Li, clearly trying to stop him from approaching the tower.
Lin Li was slightly shocked. Ever since the appearance of the Tide of Death, the army of Undead creatures that were continuously summoned had merely blocked the way to the Teleportation Portal. They did not seem to have a clear mission, and merely attacked the approaching enemies instinctively. However, the appearance of this force now meant that the Undead creatures seemed to have a commander, and the one commanding them was undoubtedly the Undead creature of unknown origin in the sky.
"That guy is about to awaken!" Lin Li was a little anxious. If the Undead creature above his head really awakened, he probably wouldn't even have the chance to escape back to the Central Tower.
At the thought of this, Lin Li simply summoned Norfeller and Ujfalusi, and got them to block the Undead creatures for him. On the other hand, Lin Li flew down from the Crimson Dragon and used the Power of Flight to continue flying towards the tower.
"I've got it, I've got it!" Connoris suddenly exclaimed excitedly.
"Hurry up and say it. I don't have time to play guessing games with you." While speaking, Lin Li waved the Helios' Scepter and cast the Thousand Miles of Ice continuously, freezing a Humerus Wyrm that was blocking the way.
"That's a Ghost, it's definitely it. There's no doubt about it, "Connoris also knew that it was not a good time to bicker with Lin Li. Hence, he hurriedly voiced his conjecture, and this time, he was very certain.
Lin Li finally floated down in front of a tower, and the Helios' Scepter continuously emitted rays of light. He cast one magic spell after another, and instantly cleared the few scattered Undead creatures around the tower. At the same time, he asked Connoris in his heart, "What kind of Undead creature is a Ghost? Is there such a thing among the Undead creatures?"
"I'm not sure if there are Undead creatures, but I know that this Ghost is very likely to have been created by Osric using the Eternal Furnace back then." Although Connoris was an ancient demon deity, the types of Undead creatures that appeared frequently were not known by those who were not from the Undead World. However, the Undead creature in the sky had a similar appearance and aura to Osric. Since it couldn't be Osric himself, it was definitely related to Osric.
"An Undead creature created by Osric using the Eternal Furnace?" Lin Li couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Connoris' words. The creation of life had always been seen as the domain of the gods. Although Osric created Undead creatures, Undead creatures were considered another form of life in a certain sense.
"Back then, Osric used the souls of 100,000 rebels and a body that he cloned for himself in the Eternal Furnace to create this thing. Later on, he named this thing Ghost." Connoris thought of Osric's means. Although Osric had sealed himself in the hammer, he could not help but admire him a little.
Connoris was an ancient demon deity, and humans were just one of the many life forms that appeared in Anril in his long life. Just like how Osric used the souls of 100,000 rebels as materials, those souls were also not very precious materials in Connoris' eyes.
However, after Lin Li heard about the origin of the Ghost, he still couldn't help but gasp in shock even though he had transmigrated to Anril. Damn it, Osric really lived up to his name as a butcher. He used the souls of 100,000 rebels as materials for alchemy. No wonder that era was called the Dark Age. No wonder the High Elves were exterminated after their rule was overthrown, and even the Tree of Eternity couldn't be preserved.
Lin Li didn't know if there was reincarnation for souls in this world. Perhaps the souls of the 100,000 rebels would dissipate soon after they were killed. To put it coldly, Osric's method was to make use of trash. However, the pain that the 100,000 souls had suffered when they were forcibly smelted together in the Eternal Furnace was probably unimaginable.
However, Lin Li was very clear that there was no need for him to worry about those things that had already happened. Anyway, the entire High Elves had been annihilated. As for now, even if he knew that the Undead creature in the sky was not Osric himself, but something that he had created and called a Ghost, he still wouldn't believe it.
