Chapter 1263: Chapter 1262: Return Chapter 1263: Chapter 1262: Return As the dense Deadly Gas spread throughout the world began to converge above Corpse Country, forming a whirlpool-shaped planar portal.
The voice of the Tomb Lord echoed in the heads of every zombie:
“All citizens, please enter slumber in your coffins for the duration of two incense sticks. Our nation's grand plan is about to commence.”
Apart from Han Dong and the Doctor, the two Outsiders.
Zombies throughout the nation, whether the lowliest White Zombies in the alleyways or the ordinary Resurrected who have not yet undergone Zombie Transformation on the island country, or the high-ranking officials in the Imperial Palace, all lay down in their coffins within the prescribed time, and the whole country became silent.
The Black Zombies, under the influence of Corpse Bug, entered a state of complete hibernation.
Han Dong arrived in front of the Taiji Palace to meet with the Tomb Lord.
“Mr. Han, you'd better find yourself a coffin and sleep as well. The upcoming interplanar crossing might tear your body apart.”
“Don't worry, planar transportation is all too common for me… I'll just accompany you to the entirely new world.”
“Very well.”
The Tomb Lord maintained his appearance full of silver needles and tubes, ensuring output and control over the Deadly Gas.
Since Corpse Country had completely shaken off its chains.
The land was leading the surrounding islands in a constant ascent, nearing the portal above.
At that moment.
On the horizon, in the direction of Moon God Mountain.
A white river flowed swiftly through the clouds.
The river's water poured into the whirlpool, sculpting out a smooth and easily traversable transmission channel.
At the same moment, a man wearing a white whirlpool mask appeared in the Taiji Palace.
“Tomb Lord lad, there's no need for formalities or polite words now, it's a critical moment, focus on what's happening before you… I've come ahead of time to take this guy away.”
The Tomb Lord, hearing this, made no further courteous gestures and concentrated on the land's ascent.
With that, a white-gloved hand casually landed on Han Dong's shoulder.
“Take me away in advance?” Han Dong was puzzled since he still had things to obtain.
“Yes, you are a Node holder; going with them would interfere with the pioneering of the new world and could introduce some traits of your node into it. At the least, it could change the world system of the Tomb Lord, and at the worst, it could trigger chaos and collapse of the world.
Your business here is done. I will help you detach from the world and go claim the rewards you are entitled to.”
“Um…”
Just as Han Dong was about to inquire about the promises made by the Tomb Lord, the executive directly drew out a sheet of contract-specific paper from his pocket.
The Tomb Lord's name was already imprinted upon it.
On the back of the paper was also the executive's code – [M].
“In accordance with the agreement, the Tomb Lord gives you a 10% share of the world.
However, the shares will only become effective once the new world is fully established, so there will be a wait.
This is a contract endorsed by me; it will automatically take effect when the Tomb Lord completes the infrastructure of the world, so there is no need for you to go to the Black Tower to process it.
Also, you needn't worry that being associated with the Tomb Lord will lead to the Black Tower holding you accountable. I will personally handle this matter, and it will have no impact on you.”
“Thank you, senior!”
“We'll talk after we get out, let the Tomb Lord handle this place.”
“Okay!”
Han Dong didn't say much else in terms of farewells, trying not to distract the other party as much as possible.
Ten seconds passed.
Han Dong and the Swollen Doctor, full of manuscripts, were led by the executive to Moon God Mountain.
Atop the peak, two coffins were prepared, which would later serve as the medium for their return to the Black Tower.
However, the executive had no intention of letting the two leave. Instead, he turned to look at Corpse Country, which was in the midst of world detachment: “Sit down and watch, this last scene should be quite a spectacle.”
“Okay.”
Han Dong and the executive sat together on the mountainside.
The doctor was immersed in organizing the relevant documents; he wanted to take all the work here back to the manor.
However, the events that followed made the doctor temporarily stop his work.
Han Dong changed to a standing posture, with the Magic Eye Wide Open, carefully observing this inconceivable spectacle.
“This is! The Floating Island is not only the birthplace of the newly created zombies but also has such a nature?”
The Floating Islands all gathered right above the Corpse Country, pulled by the power of the Deadly Gas.
A total of one hundred and seven Floating Islands were joining together like puzzle pieces, forming a [Coffin Lid].
The City Wall around the Corpse Country was also reinforced with Mechanical Technology, turning the Corpse Country into a [Coffin Body].
Under the control of the Tomb Lord, the entire structure transformed into a giant coffin… The Corpse Country would travel to a brand-new world in such a form.
All the Deadly Gas that had spread out was retracted into the coffin, sending the land into the white portal.
“Could it be that the Tomb Lord also plans to take advantage of the world migration to further upgrade himself?”
“Mmm… He has been sitting in one spot for over four hundred years, constantly emitting Deadly Gas.
At the last moment, he retracts the Deadly Gas that has dissipated over the centuries back into his body to perfect his flesh, further carving his Myth.
Alright! It's getting late.
The Deadly Gas has been collected, the world's loss of control has been lifted.
In five minutes, the signal station of the Black Tower will capture the situation here, even if the [World Core] has been consumed by you, the Black Tower can power it in a short time.
You must leave quickly, I also need to release my divided state here, my main body still needs to explain to the Black Tower's higher-ups.”
“Thank you, M!”
“I will look for you in the Black Tower later, the time is uncertain… It's better if you stay a few more days.”
“Okay.”
Han Dong quickly laid in their respective coffins with the doctor.
The moment the executive covered the coffin with the lid, both immediately felt a sensation of falling… More precisely, 'the sensation of their heads falling.'
The bottom of the coffin was like a bottomless pit, and their heads were falling downward.
Their bodies, belonging to the zombie state, remained inside the coffins; both coffins were left on the summit of Moon God Mountain
If one day, some extraordinarily tenacious Monster climbs to the summit, they will unlock this treasure.
The [Floating Corpse Internal Classic] that belongs to Han Dong or the doctor's Mechanical Trunk could be brought into the Demon Region, bringing a significant reform to the Demon Region as a whole… This seems to be a strategic gift intentionally left to the Tomb World by the executives.
Buzzing noise!
Feeling a sensation of spatial transmission.
Still the same as before.
Han Dong's head landed in a white space similar to a settlement area.
Plop~
As the head landed, the Tentacles at the bottom cushioned and supported it.
Throughout the days when he was expelled, the body had always been under the protection of the Black Tower's mechanisms, wrapped in a special trait protective film, placed on a table like a surgical operation table.
Click clack click clack~ The Tentacles around the neck brought the head and body together.
Click~
Han Dong exerted effort to twist his head, perfectly reattaching it to the cervical spine.
The familiar sensation from the body remained unchanged… However, the body felt very heavy, like the feeling after a long swim and coming ashore.
“The weight sensation brought by the [Floating Corpse Internal Classic]? Nevertheless, one's own body is still more comfortable.
With the Heritage Bead here, I should be able to introduce the Floating Corpse's special traits into the Dark Vortex Body.”
At this moment, the System's notification also came through:
“Due to the individual's separated state, please proceed with physical adaptation in advance, utilize the enhancing items obtained during the mission, and the settlement system will activate in one hour.”
