Chapter Fifty-One: Ten Thousand Living Spirits
Undead base interior.
Chen Le gazed at the base's thriving scene and couldn't help but feel a sense of grand ambition.
"Main Quest Part 2 Unlocked: Become the King of the Southern Forest of Absolut, Reward: Sapilroen (Undead)!"
"Sapiloen!" Chen Le was shocked and didn't expect that the God System would give such a powerful reward.
"Zha Zha Ben, hurry up and come out! Is the Sapielone really a task reward?" Chen Le excitedly said.
Zhazi's voice was languid, as if he had slept for a bit too long. He said faintly: "Sapiluo En is indeed the task reward, but this time your task isn't simple at all."
Chen Le asked in confusion: "Isn't it simple? Isn't that granite puppet the strongest in this forest?"
Zha Zha suddenly had an urge to find a block of tofu to crash into, and he said helplessly: "The granite puppet can only be considered one of the strongest peripheral creatures! This forest has dragon clans, you know, like green dragons, yellow dragons, black dragons and so on. Your task is to make those dragon clans surrender."
Chen Le's excitement was immediately dampened, and he helplessly lowered his head, sighing: "That goal is too far away, the Dragon Clan, even at adulthood, they're already 9th level, and the Dragon Emperor should be Saint-level."
"Master, don't be sad, Sapirion was never meant to be obtained at this time."
Chen Le waved his hand and looked towards the Hall of the Dead, saying: "That's right, Sapiloren's mount as a witch king was never something that I could obtain in my current state."
The rubbish book seemed to have remembered something, and it excitedly said: "Master, I've received another message here. The Creation God gave me a task, saying that I must kill 100,000 living beings, each of which must be at least level two or above, and obtain the Frost Sorrow!"
Chen Le's body seemed to have frozen in time, Ten million souls! What does the Creation God want to do?!
(In a certain unknown world, the Creation God stared intently at the black shadow beside him. The black shadow spoke in a hoarse voice: "You don't understand the horror of human nature. Because the Tiger Clan killed his loved one, he will stop at nothing to avenge the Tiger Clan." The Creation God grunted and said: "The lives of thousands are not to be taken lightly. What kind of person he was originally, you're not unaware, so I think he won't accept this task at all." The black shadow just smiled and didn't speak again.)
Chen Le stood there for a long time, hesitating. The lives of countless innocent people were not something to be taken lightly. Although he had not shown mercy when killing enemies in order to put on a show, in reality he had never even killed a chicken before. And now, facing these creatures that bore him no grudge or enmity, he couldn't muster up the slightest intention to kill.
Frost's sorrow is the strongest divine weapon. With it, Chen Le's revenge plan will be greatly advanced.
"Take revenge on him, don't you want to avenge yourself?" A voice appeared in Chen Le's heart.
Chen Le wanted to utter that one word.
"If you accept it, are you still you?" Another voice sounded in his ear.
Chen Le painfully closed his eyes, took a deep breath and said: "Zha Zha Ben, do you think I should accept this task?"
"I don't know, I'm just a cold system, my only purpose is to assist you."
Chen Le lowered his head, then seemed to have a hint of determination in his eyes. He stood up and shouted loudly: "I accept!"
The air around turned somewhat chilly, a gray light rushed onto Chen Le, the vengeful spirits working nearby seemed to have sensed something, they collectively bowed their heads towards the Hall of the Deceased.
"Rank cleared! Occupation changed to Lich King! When the souls of 100,000 living beings surge into your body, you will regain your power! And you will be even stronger!"
This voice is hoarse and unpleasant to listen to.
"Go slaughter! With anger in your heart, with hatred, go kill everything in front of you!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Chen Le's eyes turned bright red, his body wrapped in dark grey.

Headquarters of the Unification Church.
In white robes, holding a scepter adorned with an angelic carving, sitting high in the grand hall, he is the current Pope Longder Light.
Longder's face was somewhat distorted, and he said anxiously: "I feel a very evil breath appearing in the forest of absolute people. Send out scouts to go to the forest of absolute people and find out where that breath is!"
A knight clad in white armor, grasping a long sword shining with flames, said: "Holy Light Knights, at your command!"

Divine Kingdom, Divine King Ryner. The divine king lounged with his eyes closed on his throne, enjoying being fed by a beautiful woman beside him.
At this time, an old man in golden clothes walked in and respectfully made a noble gesture, saying: "Your Majesty, the people of the Church of Light just sent a message that an extremely strong evil fluctuation has been transmitted from the Forest of Absoluteness. They hope we can send some troops to assist them."
Longder opened his eyes and said, "Add 50 level-4 priests. If they agree, let the Fourth Royal Mage Battalion assist them." (The Royal Mage Battalion has 1,000 people in one battalion.)
The old man bowed again, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes as he said: "Yes. Your humble servant takes his leave."

Fei Zi looked at Chen Le, who was like a madman in front of him, and felt a thread of fear in his heart. He carefully walked to Chen Le's side and softly called out "Master".
Chen Le's eyes stared fixedly at Fei Zhi, who was frightened and retreated several steps back.
Chen Le smiled: "Fei Zai, don't be afraid, I definitely won't kill you."
Fei stroked his heart and said: "Your Majesty, what is this?"
Chen Le burst out laughing, as if mocking everything about time, and Fei Zhu was standing beside him, staring blankly.
The laughter gradually disappeared, and Chen Le touched his own body and said: "Fei Zhu, do you know what the consequences would be if a person were baptized by pure dark elements?"
Faye said: "It's said that once you completely lose your powers, you can't recover!"
Chen Le pinched a piece of stone and said: "That's right, losing strength is true! But who told you that it can't be restored!"
Fei Zhi was shocked and asked tremulously: "Master......"
"Souls, just souls! As long as there are enough souls, that person will regain his strength and become stronger than ever before!" Chen Le said, patting Fei Zhi's shoulder.
"Everyone, three days later, freely reap life!" Chen Le said to the undead army below.
"Rooooaaaar!"
Chen Le said to Fei Xu: "How many soldiers do we have now?"
"We still have 5,000 ghouls, 1,000 liches, and countless skeletons."
"Soldiers' lives are still valuable, Fei Tzu. Mobilize all resources to organize the troops. The mission in three days will be handed over to you. The requirement is still the same, try to minimize casualties."
He respectfully replied: "Yes!"
Chen Le suddenly remembered something and said, "Fei Zhi, if you can satisfy me in the battle three days later, your strength will be restored immediately, and you won't need to find that medicine anymore."
Faye trembled with excitement, and the long-awaited strength could finally be restored.
Chen Le smiled and said: "I'm waiting for your good news."
Having said that, Chen Le walked into the Hall of the Dead.
Fēi zī gōng jìng de sòng zǒu le chén lè, rán hòu dà hǒu dào: "quán lì bǔ shā zhōu wéi de yí qiè shēng mìng tǐ, wú lùn shì mó shòu hái shì rén lèi! Lìng wài bǎo zhe suǒ yǒu de néng liàng dōu huà wéi shì bīng! Sān tiān hòu, wǒmen yào sòng gěi zhǔ rén yī fèn jīng xǐ, nǐmen zhè qún méi nǎo de jiā huo lǐ ma?"
"Hoo-hoo-hoo!"
"It begins now! The undead enter a state of war!"
"Hoo-hoo-hoo!"
Three days later, blood will flow like rivers!
"Dragons, what are you waiting for?" Chen Le smiled as he looked at the map of the Hall of the Dead.
"Never mind, it seems you can't get out. Hahaha"
