If you were to ask the people of Blue Star what they found most difficult to accept after the great change, it would definitely be…

…inequality!

Before, in the Blue Star of the 22nd century, various slogans for equal rights were no longer just empty words.

Equality between men and women.

Even equality for all!

But now, after the great change, all the people of Blue Star rely on their Inheritors and the cities they inherit from the game to survive.

This naturally creates unequal relationships.

A new world has new rules and regulations.

That's for sure.

However, many people of Blue Star don't have problems with their brains, nor are they stupid… they simply can't adapt.

Of course.

Some people actually have other reasons.

Working in the mines is very strenuous.

And very tiring.

After working for a while, even men of iron will be so tired that they can't straighten their backs.

But there's no choice.

For the sake of fairness, everyone's time in the mines is limited.

On average, a person can only stay in the mine for an afternoon.

After that, they have to leave.

Then go level up.

Therefore, in order to earn more money, everyone must work hard to mine during their work hours.

They have to endure even if they are tired.

Because everyone is starting from scratch. All the money and assets from the old world are useless in the new world. For example, cars have nowhere to refuel or recharge. Once the fuel runs out, they are just piles of scrap metal.

They can't even sell them for a penny!

What's more, to level up, you have to spend money at the blacksmith and silk shop to buy equipment.

Without gold coins or soul crystals, it's impossible to move an inch.

So many people will take a few minutes to rest when the ore in one place is exhausted and they move on.

But this time, Liu Hai and Wang Shangfang did not mine. They wandered among these resting people.

"Old man, you're coming to mine at your age… Oh, is this your daughter? Hehe, she's really beautiful. Not married yet? It doesn't matter if she is. Don't you want to enjoy a good life? Let me tell you, there's an opportunity now, it's real. My classmate's younger sister, Liu Yue, isn't even as pretty as your daughter, but soon she will marry someone powerful from the Dragon Spirit Kingdom!"

"Auntie, are you tired? Take a break, hehe… Auntie, are you alone? Don't you want to live a good life?"

"..."

"Eh? Isn't this our campus belle, Jiang Tingting? You actually have to mine too? Zhang Chunlin, isn't he your brother-in-law? Oh, don't glare at me. What's wrong? Hehe, I don't mean anything else, just telling you… Young Master Della has taken a fancy to you and wants to take you as his concubine! Really, that's Young Master Della. His father is a Marquis of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom! Let me tell you, Tianyue City is about to be finished. Lin Chen won't be arrogant for long!"

"..."

Coincidentally, Jiang Tingting was also in this batch entering the mine.

Although her younger sister is with Zhang Chunlin, Jiang Youyou and Zhang Chunlin are actually still in the dating stage.

Moreover, Jiang Tingting has been watching her younger sister, afraid that she would be deceived by Zhang Chunlin. Naturally, she wouldn't let Zhang Chunlin get his hands on her sister so easily.

However, although the Jiang Tingting and Jiang Youyou sisters have a relationship with Zhang Chunlin, they did not pursue any privileges. They also work in the mines, except that Zhang Chunlin, a level 129 knight, occasionally takes them to level up, so their leveling speed is faster.

Of course, Zhang Chunlin also gives them some low-level equipment, so that their strength has always been in the first echelon among people of the same level.

But now, Liu Hai actually found Jiang Tingting and said such things.

"Get out, you're the one who's going to be someone else's concubine! Liu Hai, you're still a college student from the same school as me. Have you fed all the books you've read over the years to the dogs? You even said Tianyue City is finished… Don't forget, you are also a Blue Star person. If Tianyue City is finished, you won't be spared either!"

Jiang Tingting directly cursed at Liu Hai!

"Hehe, don't worry, Young Master Della has already promised us that as long as we are willing to surrender, we will all have the opportunity to enter Deburg in the future. Although, everyone can only do things that slaves do at the beginning, this is also our chance to truly integrate into the people of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom!"

Liu Hai was still trying to persuade her.

"You won't be a good person here, but you want to be a dog for the people of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom? Are you leaving or not? If you don't leave, I'll call the guards and report you for harassing me!" Jiang Tingting was really angry and was about to call someone.

Seeing this, Liu Hai had to say, "I'm leaving, I'm leaving, okay? But Jiang Tingting, you should think about it carefully. With your looks, I believe you will definitely win Young Master Della's favor. Maybe you will become the Marquis's wife in the future, and we will all rely on you! You… alas, I really don't understand. You don't want to live a good life as a Dragon Spirit person, but you have to mine yourself, and you have to give one out of every ten pieces of ore you mine to Lin Chen. Lin Chen is exploiting us!"

"Get out!"

Jiang Tingting scolded directly.

She was really quite angry.

Inside Tianyue City.

Zhang Chunlin came to Lin Chen again. He reported the latest situation: "Boss, Deburg has reportedly dispatched a large army, a total of ten airships, and they are full of Deburg soldiers. The spies are still gathering information on their specific levels."

"Not bad, Chunlin, you've arranged spies… What's the strength of those people? Don't send out people with too low a level. It's easy to be discovered, and it's also dangerous to encounter some wild monsters," Lin Chen instructed.

"Don't worry, they are all subordinates of Old Liu. They are all Inheritors, and their levels are at least above level 80," Zhang Chunlin said, and took out a letter to show: "This is Deburg's carrier pigeon message. It says that the Deburg army will attack at 3 PM at the latest, and they want us to prepare for battle!"

"Interesting, why does it feel like the Spring and Autumn Period, when wars still emphasized gentlemanly conduct, and they even tell us the time in advance?" Lin Chen laughed and said to Zhang Chunlin, "Go to the mine and the leveling area and withdraw everyone back. There's only a little over an hour left. Tell them not to leave the city after they come back and stay in the city."

"Okay, I'll go now."

Zhang Chunlin immediately went to make preparations.

At the same time, Lin Chen was also making preparations.

He came to his skill book warehouse to find some skill books.

Before the game servers shut down, Lin Chen had hoarded many skill books. Now, Lin Chen's soul cultivation has increased by a total of 50 skill points, and he currently has 30 skill points left.

Here, he can still learn two forbidden spells!

One of the forbidden spells can even be upgraded to two levels.

Lin Chen found all the forbidden spell skill books, not many, a total of ten.

[Forbidden Spell · Exploding Attack]

"This thing has a splash effect with attacks. It's useful to learn, but it only splashes physical attacks, which is a bit of a waste for me! Although the splash duration is quite long."

[Forbidden Spell · Frozen Thousands of Miles]

"A very powerful control skill, but… it overlaps with the Snow Maiden's skill!"

[Forbidden Spell · Flame Shockwave]

"Okay, it overlaps with the Vermilion Bird."

"..."

Lin Chen looked at these skill books one by one, but he couldn't find one that was very suitable for him. In fact, the forbidden spell skill books that were truly perfect for him were Star Energy Blast and Seven Star Energy Gathering.

Even Divine Statue Steps on the Nine Heavens is a little imperfect.

However, when Lin Chen looked at it again carefully, and carefully read the effects of these skills, he still found a forbidden spell skill book that had been ignored before.

[Forbidden Spell · Undead Eternity]

[Overview: Appease and summon deceased creatures. After gaining their approval, you will receive the loyalty of the undead. This process can continue until they are reincarnated. Undead are divided into Dark Spirits, Spectres, Nether Spirits, Evil Spirits, and Ghost Spirits, which can advance to Ghost Kings, Ghost Emperors, and Ghost Gods. Each level increase of the skill increases the controllable undead rank by +1.]

[Control Method and Quantity: Undead are born together. Choose a compatible undead and command them to hide in equipment, summoning them at any time. 1st to 9th tier undead require 10/30/50/80/100/120/150/180/200 Mental Strength to control, respectively. All kinds of Ghost Kings require 500 Mental Strength, Ghost Emperors consume 2000 Mental Strength, and Ghost Gods consume 5000 Mental Strength!]

[Damage Effect: A 1st tier undead corresponds to a 1st tier soul, generating corresponding soul damage, and can even cause negative effects such as fear, confusion, and weakness. Each summon consumes magic equal to the corresponding Mental Strength.]

[Backlash: If the total consumption of controlled undead exceeds half of your Mental Strength, you may be backlashed by the undead. You must eliminate all controlled undead, otherwise you will die!]

Good heavens!

This is the ultimate skill of a necromancer.

It actually controls the undead!

Lin Chen had been ignoring this skill all along.

After all, he is a Sky Walker.

Although Sky Walkers can also learn this forbidden spell, Lin Chen always felt that he relied on his hard power. Learning this skill would not improve him much, and… he would have to look for undead everywhere.

Very troublesome!

But now, Lin Chen noticed an attribute in this forbidden spell… undead can exist forever, until Lin Chen lets them go to reincarnation.

Moreover, undead can be cultivated by themselves, allowing them to level up!

Most importantly, the damage caused by the undead directly attacks the enemy's soul…

This eliminates the question of whether it is a magic attack or a physical attack.

Lin Chen felt that he could give it a try!

He immediately chose to learn it.

And, he directly used the remaining skill points to raise this skill to level three.

In addition to the skill enhancement effect of the equipment, Lin Chen's Undead Eternity forbidden spell skill is now at level eight.

In other words, he can control eighth-tier undead.

So, where can he find undead?

On the current Blue Star, what is probably least lacking is the souls of Blue Star people.

However, Lin Chen didn't have time to look for undead.

Because…

In the sky above Tianyue City, a grand fleet of airships arrived.

Deburg!

It could be seen that Demille was standing at the very front of the airship. After arriving in the sky above Tianyue City, Demille immediately shouted loudly, "Lin Chen, release my son! Otherwise, today this Marquis will slaughter the entire Tianyue City!"

Demille's aura was like a rainbow.

From the sound of his voice, it seemed that his strength was no weaker than Jin Qiang…

Jin Qiang, a second-tier Divine Adept realm expert!
