Chapter 977: Chapter 482: Sanctions May Be Delayed, But Never Absent

Beast Training Empire, Imperial Palace!

This place is an absolute forbidden zone in the Amazon Region, inaccessible to anyone except for Lu Ran and his contracted pet beasts.

In the quiet, chilly rear palace garden, the figures of Lu Ran and No. 18 appeared.

"No. 18, start by manifesting the necro master’s Heroic Spirit."

Lu Ran stretched out his hand, and a bottle with a ceramic feel, black with white patterns, appeared in his palm.

Soul Binding Bottle!

He first handed the Soul Binding Bottle to No. 18.

This item was the personal belonging of the Undead Sect Leader when they had just started the Divine Sect.

At that time, with the Divine Sect in its infancy, the Soul Binding Bottle wasn’t yet widespread, and the first bunch of Necro Sect adherents had no stable channel for soul preservation.

While practicing Necromancy at the Divine Sect Headquarters, they all relied on the Undead Sect Leader to distribute souls with the Soul Binding Bottle daily.

The early days of the Divine Sect... were not easy.

Until later on, when the Soul Binding Bottle became common and every core necromancer had one.

For the Death Divine Sect, this particular Soul Binding Bottle held by the Undead Sect Leader was of significant symbolic importance.

With the Undead Sect Leader both resurrecting pet beasts and distributing souls, the first necromancers truly followed him, believing in this god-like Sect Hierarch.

Though constrained by the size of the sect, the followers of the Undead Sect Leader weren’t as many as those of the Tree King, but they weren’t few either.

They met the conditions for resurrection in the Hall of Heroic Spirits.

However, due to the limited traces of faith remaining on the Soul Binding Bottle, and unable to compare with the Tree King Ruins, even though the Undead Sect Leader that Lu Ran encountered was just an ordinary legend, the energy required for summoning was far greater than the epic Tree King.

All these are trifles! No. 18 began to summon using Manager Ying’s blood as a power source!

To Lu Ran, the Blood of the Time Keeper was not a rare resource; it was renewable, and using it was just using it.

Before long, the gates of the Hall of Heroic Spirits opened, and the figure of a gray-robed elder slowly materialized and stepped out.

The manifested Undead Sect Leader’s memory was fixed at the moment just before the Breakthrough Secret Realm fractured.

[Why... Now that I think about it, the name King of Sudden Death is really weird.]

"Thank you, Sect Hierarch Master. If there’s a chance, wherever it is, I will propagate Necromancy and even help the Human Tribe break through the limits of legends."

[So it turns out, the real me had long died in history, and it was some great power who made me manifest through historical projection, just so my disciple called ’King of Sudden Death’ could come into contact with Necromancy.]

[In the normal course of history, has Necromancy been lost? Did the Death Divine Sect fail?]

He fell into silence, feeling as if he had been asleep for a very long time, his body, mind, and soul all vanishing in the process.

Then, at a certain moment, his soul began to reshape, reincarnating in a special way.

"Where am I?"

The Necromancer Holy Son slowly opened his eyes, filled with incredulity.

He saw the figure of Lu Ran before him, his expression even more bewildered.

"Master, long time no see." Upon seeing this, Lu Ran showed a smile and said, "I know you have many questions."

"Please look at this VCR."

Saying this, No. 18 transmitted a segment of memories about the normal historical timeline.

It was a space-time without Lu Ran, where the Necro Sect developed normally. As the Undead Sect Leader broke through to the epic level, the sect grew stronger, but later, due to mismanagement, they were infiltrated by the Demonic God Lineage, becoming the minions of the Evil God and getting annihilated by the Six Great Human Sects.

Memory after memory surfaced into the Necromancer Holy Son’s mind, causing his expression to change continually.

Finally, he looked at Lu Ran with an extremely complex expression.

"Exactly who... are you?"

No. 18 continued the memory transfer.

The war against the Evil God, the fall of Ji Yuan, and intervention by the Ghost Mother.

The uprising of the Divine Tree.

The eternal war between beasts and plants.

The Human Tribe founded a nation once again, the glorious era of the Republic... followed by the final rebellion of Machinery.

Leading up to today’s Infinite City Era, a colossal entity called Infinite City landed, capable of helping Beast Trainers enter Historical Secret Realms from different timelines.

In this era, a level-one Beast Trainer named Lu Ran entered the Historical Secret Realm from the late Empire period, demonstrated immense talent, resolved the flaws in Necromancy, and led the Necromancy Cult in the Historical Secret Realm down a completely different path from the original timeline, earning the position of Necromancer Holy Son.

As all this information was transmitted to the Necromancer Holy Son’s mind, amidst his bewilderment, he finally understood everything.

Lu Ran’s voice rang out once more.

"The Historical Secret Realm shattered, and your existence from that timeline should have vanished since that part of history is not the main timeline."

"Nevertheless, the Death Divine Sect had a significant impact on me, and Necromancy has greatly assisted me. I truly embrace this identity, so I didn’t want you to just disappear, so..."

"When I first joined the Divine Sect, I indeed was nothing but a level-one Beast Trainer. However, it was with the legacy of the Necro Sect that I was able to grow rapidly to this point, and even develop the ability to resurrect Heroic Spirits."

"So you, have resurrected me from that historical timeline in the form of a Heroic Spirit," the Undead Sect Leader also noticed the uniqueness of his current state, finding it utterly astonishing.

Whether it was Infinite City manifesting him through historical projection, or the Hall of Heroic Spirits resurrecting him in the form of a Heroic Spirit, both were incredibly miraculous.

However, what the Undead Sect Leader found even more unbelievable was the young man before him.

The Undead Sect Leader regarded Lu Ran highly; although their interaction was short, because of the talent Lu Ran displayed in promoting Necromancy, he spared no effort in offering the best resources to Lu Ran.
