The arrival of the Dawn Era meant endless dimensional wars. At the same time, it also meant that the Dimensional Door that bound the Aishi Plane would be fully opened.
Naturally, there would be those who returned as well as those who left.
The Undead Empire had developed to such an extent mainly because there were too many returnees.
Before the Dawn Era of the Aishi Plane, there had been some super powerful existences who had become Undead Emperors. However, they were usually exiled from the plane after only a few years or even a few decades.
Such evil and powerful existences were capable of turning the entire surface world into a kingdom of the undead. That was why they were all forced out of the plane.
Of course, they were unwilling to accept this.
The War of the Undead before the War of Dawn was the return of some ancient Undead Emperors and the establishment of new kingdoms. Those ancient Undead Emperors fought a good battle against the natives of the Aishi Plane.
The result? The result was that nothing changed. Naturally, the returning Undead Emperors lost the battle.
However, the War of Dawn was stuck in a quagmire. When the Aishi Plane was at its weakest, many Undead Emperors chose to return as reinforcements or allies.
This time, they weren't rejected, and they wouldn't be rejected in the future.
This wasn't just the decision of the mortal plane's residents. It was also the decision of the Aishi Plane.
To put it bluntly, Eich was like a small pond after the Dimensional Door was closed. Highly polluted living creatures like the Undead Emperors would naturally be expelled from the Dimensional Door. But after the Dimensional Door was opened, the vast ocean that flowed through the Dimensional Door would naturally be able to accommodate these wanderers.
It was impossible for the Undead Emperors to return by themselves. The undead would always live together with the undead. The return of each Undead Emperor was equivalent to the return of an army or a warlord.
In order not to alarm these mega empires, and in order not to break the new order that wasn't easy to maintain, after the first example, the Undead Emperors naturally joined the Aishi Plane's only Undead Empire — the Xiluo Empire.
Originally, the 12 Senators system was just like + 1, + 1, + 1. Now, it was 36 +, and sooner or later, it would be 50 +.
Actually, there were many Undead Emperors who didn't have the title of Senator, but had the power of a Senator. After all, even they felt that this system was too overstaffed.
Looking at it from another angle, it was precisely because of these newcomers that the Xiluo Empire's territory was no longer limited to the Northlands and the Aishi World. Countless negative energy dimensions, dimensions, and all other dimensions had their territory.
Even the Endless Abyss, the source of Primal Chaos, had their territory, and it was a super large territory with dozens of levels.
There was a limit to the living, but the dead were eternal. The cycle of life and death had never been broken. These undead were the "wealth" that this world had accumulated over tens of thousands of years.
In terms of overall strength, not a single mega empire could compare to the Undead Empire. After all, the Undead Empire alone represented all the dead, while all the other mega empires combined represented the living.
However, the Undead Lords had many ideas, and most of them were abnormally negative. Avoiding the world and living in seclusion was the main way of life for these undead.
After losing their lives, they also lacked enthusiasm and motivation.
Unfortunately, there were hawks and doves in every country, normal mainstream and non-mainstream. Some didn't want to make a move, and some were too active.
The so-called Royal Faction was such a group of people. Don't expect them to be loyal to the so-called Undead Emperor and the royal bloodline. They only needed a slogan to unite and act.
There were also many differences within these active members. Some wanted to invade the territory of the living, some wanted to bring their forces to conquer the stars and seas, and some just wanted to be active in the world of the living as the living.
The Undead Lords that came these days were all from the so-called Royal Faction.
Every single one of them would look for Rorschach for a chat, which opened Rorschach's eyes.
His original impression of the dead had disappeared without a trace. There wasn't much difference between the living and the dead. Many people's thoughts, goals, and ideals refreshed Rorschach's worldview.
Once, when he was chatting with a Bone Dragon Lord, Rorschach accidentally mentioned that he had learned some Undead Magic, and that he didn't discriminate against the boundary between the living and the dead. In fact, he was even interested in Undead Magic and the world after death … The result was out of control.
After that, every Undead Lord that came here wouldn't tell Roxia anything about their research or undead secret techniques before they left. In fact, some Undead Lords would even give him "small gifts" filled with the power of death and negative energy.
This was equivalent to having several hundred Undead Lords taking turns to teach Rorschach, make up lessons, and force-feed him. Rorschach had no choice but to learn … Actually, he was quite interested. In his opinion, the cycle of life and death was one. Learning knowledge from either side would be helpful to the other.
In fact, this was indeed the case. Rorschach discovered that the secrets of the dead could also be used in the world of the living. His Nature Magic greatly improved in all aspects. Another unexpected benefit was that Rorschach easily learned any Undead Magic below level 6.
According to the mortal plane's standards, Roxia was currently a level 6 nature mage as well as a level 6 undead mage … It was likely that no outsider would be able to understand how he was able to cultivate these two conflicting abilities to such a high level.
Along with this, his laboratory also produced several new results regarding the dead.
"… Not bad. This arm of yours is really nice."
"What a pity. It still uses many of the laws of the Land of Dreams. It still needs to be further developed."
What received praise from the Undead was a prosthetic arm. However, unlike other mechanical and wooden prosthetics, this prosthetic arm resembled an arm made of countless vines that twisted together, as if it were alive.
Unlike other prosthetics that had matured, this plant prosthetic arm didn't have a complete design, nor did it have a functional design. However, what received praise from the Undead was that it inherited part of the Heart of Honesty's special ability. It … could allow the user to obtain some sense of pain and touch, as well as recover some of the characteristics of the living.
"I call it a parasitic prosthetic arm."
This prosthetic arm was just like a parasite that possessed both the soul and the body. It was alive and could then share the sense of pain and touch with the undead.
Rorschach tried to sell this prosthetic arm to the local hospital, but the results were rather poor. The prosthetic arm was difficult to operate and didn't listen to commands. Sometimes, the sense of touch was so slight that it was almost indescribable. Other times, it was so painful that it almost killed the user. It couldn't compare to the modern technology and magical prosthetics at all.
However, for the undead, this sense of touch and pain that had been forgotten for countless years was something that couldn't be replaced.
Many undead even chopped off their own arms in front of Rorschach and put on the prosthetic arm. Then, they climbed up tall buildings to experience the pain of falling and being torn apart … This scene was rather horrifying, but it also attracted more and more customers.
New orders were placed, and Rorschach once again felt the undead's generosity. They really didn't treat money as money. They had all sorts of antiques and ancient coins.
For the undead, time wasn't an issue. And if time wasn't an issue and they didn't need to spend money, saving money naturally wouldn't be an issue either.
However, Rorschach still needed to rely on the special laws of the Land of Dreams in order to break through the boundaries between life and death. This meant that these products could only be sold in limited quantities. It was impossible to export them to earn money or even sell them to the Undead Empire that wanted them the most.
On the other hand, these new products made the Undead Lords really value Rorschach.
Yes, they valued Rorschach and not his descendants. This invention that could break through the boundaries between life and death attracted the interest of the undead. Its reputation had even spread to the Xiluo Empire.
There were even undead who proposed to be hired by Rorschach and become a long-term resident of the Land of Dreams. This way, they could enjoy Rorschach's inventions and at the same time, protect Rorschach from dying in an accident … However, after much consideration, Rorschach rejected them in the end.
"At this stage, it's better not to invite a wolf into the house. Who knows who caused this accident?"
Although Roxia rejected these ideas, he felt that he could indeed consider recruiting some high-level undead once he truly advanced in rank and gained complete control over this Dreamscape. Once he was no longer in danger in this area, he could indeed consider recruiting some high-level undead.
