Chapter 353: Chapter 203 Underworld Place_1

"No... Boss Lu Ran."

Bai Qi’s heart fell apart as he said, "We can’t do this..."

"Don’t you know the dangers of the necro system?"

"A pet beast resurrected through necro skills isn’t the same pet beast anymore."

"By then, not only the pet beasts, but even we ourselves will become neither human nor ghost."

"I admit, this world isn’t perfect, but there’s no need to overturn or destroy anything, right?"

Fearing he might not live past today, Bai Qi made one last effort to argue his case.

If resurrection meant using necro skills, then he would rather not resurrect his pet beast.

He didn’t want his pet beast to become a puppet of death, nor did he want to end up neither human nor ghost.

Beyond being a Beast Trainer, he had a family; there was no need to go to such extreme lengths.

It had to be said that the International League did an effective job in demonizing the necro system.

As Bai Qi tried to persuade with all his might, he saw Lu Ran take off the Necromancy Saint Robe and go back to wearing a Husky Sleeve, dramatically altering the mood.

Bai Qi: "..."

With a surge of retorts jamming his throat, he didn’t know where to begin.

"I was just joking, what are you getting worked up for?" Lu Ran smirked. He didn’t probe any deeper; after all, human nature can’t withstand too much testing. Enough was enough.

He said, "I was just talking nonsense just now. Actually, the League is deliberately researching the necro system, and I’m one of the project leaders."

"Apart from me, there’s also Doctor Gu Qingyi and the Senior Chairman who know about this."

Bai Qi: "Huh???"

"Should I call Doctor Gu for you, so you can talk?"

"Besides, your worry is unnecessary."

"On my second entry into the Breakthrough Secret Realm, I went undercover and infiltrated the Necro Sect of the Star-Moon Continent, and I got quite a few useful things."

"For example, how to preserve and restore the memories and consciousness of a pet beast converted into an undead."

"So, if your pet beast is resurrected using necromancy, it will still be your pet beast."

"But..." Bai Qi said.

"Are you worried about the side effects of undead beasts devouring souls?" Lu Ran asked.

Bai Qi’s face kept changing colors, and his heart was still pounding uncontrollably. The recent scare had been real for him, but researching the necro system would make sense if it was a state-supported project.

Still, he was indeed worried about the side effects associated with soul-devouring, a point that the League had been emphasizing.

"Forget it, to gain something, you have to give something," he resigned.

"I’m willing to join this organization."

"I’m willing to bear all of the necro system’s drawbacks."

"As long as my pet beast has a chance of rebirth, I’m willing to help you in researching against the necro system."

"There always has to be a pioneer willing to make sacrifices. If this research finds a way to resolve the issues with the necry system, then I would be..."

Lu Ran interjected: "Hey, hey, hey, aren’t you getting a little too dramatic?"

Bai Qi looked at Lu Ran, dumbfounded.

My determination is so strong, and you say I’m being too dramatic?

Lu Ran said, "After infiltrating the Necro Sect, I have already figured out how to resolve the drawbacks of the necro system, which means that after becoming a necromancer, apart from different attributes for pet beasts and food from other Beast Trainers, there’s no other difference."

Bai Qi was stunned: "???"

"Resolved, resolved???" His eyes widened in disbelief.

"Resolved. Otherwise, why do you think the Xia Country Beast Training Alliance would set up a Necromancy Department?" Lu Ran said indifferently. "Of course, I’m the only one who can handle the necro system’s food for now."

"Alright, I’ve explained everything to you. Make your decision," he pressed.

"Whether or not you want to change your profession to become a Necromancer."

"And I believe it won’t be long before the necro system can appear openly on the world stage."

"You won’t have to bear the pressure from the necro system for too long."

Bai Qi swallowed hard. This Lu Ran, was he a god? Not only had he evolved an Overlord Dragon, but now he claimed to have solved the necro system’s problems.

He simply couldn’t fathom how Lu Ran’s brain worked.

"Having drifted for half my life, my only regret is not having met a wise leader before..." Immediately Bai Qi spoke up: "Boss, what’s our organization called? Am I considered to have been recruited? From today onwards, I’ll dissolve the Four Saints Gang and work with you."

What Four Saints Gang? Dispensable. Bai Qi had a moment of clarity—he had no future mixing on his own. Following a son of the world like Lu Ran, that’s how to get further.

If it was really as Lu Ran said, then the necro system was brimming with potential, and he could be one of the first to reap the benefits.

If even death can be reversed, what’s there to fear?

Lu Ran pondered for a moment and then said: "Abroad, there’s a necro force called ’Reaper.’"

"Then let’s call our organization ’Underworld,’ derived from ’Underworld Place.’

...

Atop Jade Mountain.

Lu Ran casually established Xia Country’s own Necromancy Department: Underworld.

Although currently, the department only had two members.

And neither of those two could form a single necro pet beast.

But that was about to change.

After Bai Qi learned the Resurrection Skill, Lu Ran passed on the experience from the preacher’s necro notes to him.

The killer Bai Qi immediately began the transformation of his pet beasts’ life forms.

Dressed in a black suit, surrounded by a mist of gray-black fog, he connected himself to several pet beasts.

As time ticked away.

The corpses of the four pet beasts began to decompose naturally, as if turning into some sort of nutrient. As the outlines of the corpses nearly vanished, they were replaced by a swirling black-gray fog, constructing a brand-new life form.
