I had originally thought that since Cirvanas was able to borrow the power of the magic net to spread his spiritual power throughout the entire Land of the Specter, what if the even more powerful undead, Anveena, or Sandora, who was the most proficient in controlling the power of the soul, did this? Just how powerful would this control be?
However, such a thought was only a beautiful one. Cirvanas relied on his natural talent as an orthodox undead to control low-level undead. Although Anveena was powerful, she was a unique lifeform born from the symbiosis of an undead and an angel. She had already lost most of the unique abilities of the undead — apart from using the unique physique of a specter to suddenly poke half of her body out of a cooking pot to scare people. As for Sandora, her spiritual enslavement wasn't limited to any species. Unfortunately, her source of energy was psionic energy, a form of energy that was absolutely incompatible with the power of the magic net …
Cirvanas closed her eyes and stood in the center of the spell formation as if she were asleep. However, I knew that her spiritual power had already entered the magic net system and was gradually spreading towards the Land of the Specter. At this moment, I didn't know why, but I thought of Hacker Empire and Neo …
Cirvanas needed approximately one day to get used to this new "body" that was so gigantic that it covered the entire Land of the Specter. Meanwhile, I needed to understand more about the little girl whose life Alaya had saved.
According to Alaya, she was a very strange child.
The reason why the little girl had contracted the undead plague had been discovered. The reason was simple, but also quite heartbreaking — food.
The Calamity Army's rampage had caused more than half of the land and animals in Quel 'Thalas to be polluted to varying degrees. Of course, food wasn't spared either. Even though Kael' thas had done everything in his power to collect and save all the food he could find, hunger was still unavoidable among the commoners of the blood elves. This situation had already persisted for a very long time. The damage that Arthas had done to this land was far too severe, to the point that it was difficult for the blood elves to recover in a short period of time.
In such a calamity, the most helpless were naturally the orphans.
There were no welfare institutions in this world, and even if there were, they were extremely imperfect. In this world that didn't have many democratic governments, Kael 'thas was a decent king. He could lead his people to rebuild the glory of a race from the ruins, and he could share the joys and sorrows with his people. However, no ruler could possibly care about the situation of every single person. For example, that blood elf girl who called herself Liliana. She was an orphan who had lost all her family in the war and was almost forgotten by everyone. Orphans like her were quite common in times of war, and most of them would die of hunger or disease …
Liliana was ambushed when she ventured out to look for food. It was the corpse of a blood elf who had turned into an undead at some point. When Liliana tried to search for something edible on the corpse, the stiff corpse suddenly attacked her. Even though the little girl had speed and agility that far exceeded that of her people, she was still scratched on the back …
Up until this point, there wasn't anything suspicious. Even though Liliana had displayed bravery and decisiveness that far exceeded those of her age, it was understandable that she could survive such a war. What Alaya was truly puzzled about was that she discovered something when she was purifying Liliana.
Liliana's soul and body weren't compatible.
"I just don't understand." After returning to the room that Kael 'thas had prepared for me, Alaya reported her discovery to me. "That child's body has completely recovered, and her soul is completely intact. There aren't any traces of soul magic attacking her, but there seems to be some sort of incompatibility between her soul and her body. I can't tell what exactly is the incompatibility …"
I was also puzzled by Alaya's description of the situation, as I didn't understand a single word she said …
However, I didn't pay too much attention to this matter. The world was so big, and it wasn't rare for one or two people with special constitutions to occasionally appear. Perhaps the Shiring Apostles, who had an outrageously high health rate, would find such a mutation unimaginable, but I didn't think that a little blood elf girl with a soul mutation would be worth paying attention to.

The main base in the west of the Haunted Lands.
The abnormal movements of the Undead had already attracted the attention of all the Azeroth troops in the base. The increasingly dense aura of death made the Paladins and Priests, who were the most sensitive to it, extremely nervous. Large groups of wandering Undead appeared outside the base with increasing frequency, making the soldiers even more nervous. Although the Undead would only appear on the horizon before being blasted by the laser cannons on the sentry towers, every Azeroth soldier knew that a great battle was about to begin.
However, unlike the Azeroth soldiers who were on high alert, the Shiring Apostles in the base acted as though nothing had happened. They continued to train, patrol, and sell their goods as usual …
The last one, please ignore it gracefully …
"Looking at the time, Ah Jun and the others should have started by now, right?"
Sandora yawned as she leaned against the railing of a certain tower, rubbing her eyes as she spoke.
"As expected, I shouldn't have volunteered to take care of Little Bubble last night … Ah Jun, when are you coming back …"
Shallow Shallow was leaning against the railing next to Sandora as she counted her own hair. She looked up at the rolling black clouds in the distance and didn't say anything about her boyfriend being labeled as a professional babysitter.
Sandora's eyes flashed with a faint blue light. The scene that was hundreds of kilometers away was presented in front of her eyes as if it was right in front of her. There, an endless sea of corpses was gathering, and there were many high-level Undead like the Abominations. They were all driven here from the Eastern Plaguelands. These miscellaneous Undead were pushing and shoving each other, but under this chaotic appearance, the huge horde of corpses was moving at a stable speed in the same direction.
Sandora was so bored that she secretly released a long-range Psychic Shock. Immediately, the Undead Army that was somewhat orderly was thrown into chaos.
Although Shallow Shallow did not have the exaggerated super-vision that Sandora had, she could still guess something from the latter's smirk. In fact, this was not the first time the Schilling Queen had pulled such a prank.
"Is it fun to tease a bunch of cannon fodder?"
Shallow Shallow rolled her eyes, expressing her disdain.
"Wouldn't it be even more boring if we don't tease them?"
Sandora's theory was quite novel.
Qian Qian opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but a strange feeling suddenly swept through the two people's Divine Sense.
It was as if a huge spiritual body had just brushed past their souls. It was an indescribable feeling.
"Hehe, the show is about to start." Sandora finally let out a happy smile and then stretched. "We have to get the various armies gathered at the periphery ready. Why, don't you want to move around?"
Shallow Shallow immediately showed a disgusted expression. "… Forget it. I don't want to vomit until I'm dehydrated when I wake up."
Sandora did not say anything. She just waved her hand and then jumped down from the tower that was tens of meters high.

Rotting corpses, skeletons, phantoms, and all sorts of other undead creatures, some complete, some incomplete, and some even assembled together, gathered together endlessly. Like churning mud, they squeezed and moved forward. Meaningless roars filled the surroundings, as if the entire space had become restless. They moved forward, and new members kept burrowing out of the rotten soil, making the army even stronger.
However, without any warning, this huge army of undead that almost drowned the entire land suddenly stopped. The chaotic world that was filled with all kinds of noises suddenly quieted down.
An immeasurably powerful spiritual torrent flowed along the world's most primitive and powerful energy network, filling the vast and barren land and easily destroying the simple minds of the mindless undead. In between, the few 'smart' undead who resisted were torn into pieces by their brethren around them just as they made the slightest movement.
After a few seconds, the quiet space was once again filled with the roars of the undead. The originally chaotic and disorderly tide of undead, under the control of a powerful and arbitrary will, collectively changed direction and surged towards the direction they came from …
At the same time, the Alliance army that had gathered in the Plaguelands and Silverpine Forest also received a direct order from "God". Under the encouragement of the Holy Light and Glory, the Alliance army charged forward with an indomitable spirit towards the plagueland-ravaged land of the undead for the first time.
In the valley to the west of the Haunted Land, a large-scale military operation had finally begun. A dense horde of flying apostles and fighter aircrafts led the vanguard. Huge warships escorted by various auxiliary aircrafts rose from the valley like a black velvet curtain that gradually covered the sky. On the ground, the elite allied armies of various races and Schilling's combat puppets formed an even larger mixed army, bringing with them an overwhelming aura as they left the valley that was filled with life despite being in the undead zone …
