21st Century Necromancer

While Chen Yu was busy dealing with various tasks at the hospital, he had not forgotten about his Necromantic Space that was still under construction.

After injecting this world with air, water, and flames via a connection to the Elemental Plane, this originally cold and desolate Space Fragment finally regained some semblance of vibrant life. The ground thawed, a gentle breeze blew, and waves lapped against the rocks. Everything finally came to life, looking quite impressive.

"My Lord, this place is..." Standing beside Chen Yu, Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu was so overwhelmed that he didn’t know how to describe everything before him.

Because he had now pledged complete loyalty to Chen Yu, Chen Yu had finally trusted him enough to bring all three of his subordinates into this space, now that it was accessible.

"This is the result of the last ritual, a space that belongs entirely to me," Chen Yu introduced the space before him to his three trusted subordinates: "Although it’s not very large, it’s about the size of a sea island. There’s a mountain range and a plain on the island, and I plan to build a castle and a high tower here. So... Ryosen-kun!"

"My Lord, your orders, please," Kyuuzai Ryousen was extremely excited. The power to create a space of one’s own was beyond his imagination and it reinforced his resolve to serve Chen Yu loyally. Upon hearing Chen Yu call out to him, he was all ears, eagerly waiting for Chen Yu’s instructions.

"Have your Cursed Ravens fly over the entire island to map out the terrain, then find a planning and design company to properly plan and design the future castle and high tower.

As for the specific requirements for the castle and tower, I’ll provide them to you later." Chen Yu did not intend to design the castle and tower himself, leaving such tasks to professionals much simpler than trying to do it on his own.

"Understood, please rest assured, my Lord. I will contact the best planning and design company," Kyuuzai Ryousen affirmed, and immediately released his nurtured Cursed Ravens.

Watching a dark mass of Cursed Ravens fly off, Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu raised his own concerns to Chen Yu: "My Lord, developing and constructing this island is a given, but about the manpower... The Mingyue Society has recruited some people, but while they work well, their loyalty has not yet been fostered and they are not to be trusted.

And even if they were trustworthy, I doubt they are skilled in construction work.

Moreover, this island appears so vast and, although the land is barren, with careful management and development, it surely could support a small city. My Lord, do you intend to recruit people to settle here?"

Experience tales at empire

"You need not worry about the manpower; I have my arrangements," Chen Yu waved his hand, indicating that Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu need not worry, and then explained, "At this point, I might as well be upfront with you: I am a Necromancer, and to me, the dead are far more useful than the living.

Therefore, I do not plan to use the strength of the Mingyue Society to develop this island. The personnel of the Mingyue Society will still be used to maintain my interests outside of this space. Of course, the procurement of related materials will still need to go through the Mingyue Society.

As for the population issue you mentioned, Yoshiharu-kun, I plan to transform this island into a semblance of the Underworld. Core members of the Mingyue Society who have earned my trust can come to this world to receive High-Level inheritance and settle here for cultivation. I believe you all understand how much a resource-rich cultivation environment can help in improving your abilities?" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The words of Chen Yu immediately brightened the eyes of his three subordinates. After their promotion, they not only felt a significant improvement in their strength but also experienced the difficulty of cultivation. The scarcity of energy was the key factor restricting the further enhancement of their abilities.

Indeed, apart from graveyards, it isn’t easy to find places rich in Negative Energy in modern society.

And even in graveyards, the concentration of Negative Energy was limited. Such energy might have been sufficient for their cultivation needs before their promotion, but after their formal advancement, the Negative Energy in ordinary graveyards was only enough to sustain their daily cultivation, no longer sufficient for further strength enhancement.

In fact, this was one of the critical reasons why Chen Yu wanted to construct the Necromantic Space. The cultivation resources provided by the real world were simply too scarce, even with Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu collecting them for him, it was still difficult to support the continuous enhancement of his power.

After all, the next threshold he needed to cross was Legendary, and without sufficient resources, he could not fulfill the needs of life’s transformation and sublimation, especially since Chen Yu had another plan in mind.

"So, my Lord, are you moving the altar built earlier to this island to continue transforming it?" Kojo Kyoko, who had been mostly quiet, now asked Chen Yu curiously.

Chen Yu slightly nodded, glanced at the Ritual Altar already relocated to the island, and smiled, "After all, it took a lot of effort and resources for Yoshiharu-kun and Ryosen-kun to build it. We’re still lacking many resources to waste, of course, we have to economize a bit."

Hearing Chen Yu’s words, both Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu and Kyuuzai Ryousen felt a surge of emotion. Even though their powers had greatly increased, the memory of the hardships faced while constructing the Ritual Altar made them wish not to go through that process again.

"Then, my Lord, what shall we do next?" Kojo Kyoko, who had not been of much help during the previous ritual but had still received a promotion, was eager to do something to prove her worth to Chen Yu, and also to secure the long-desired inheritance for her brother.

Unexpectedly to Kojo Kyoko, Chen Yu shook his head: "There’s nothing you can help with in the coming matters, or to be more precise, your strengths are not yet at the level to be of assistance. For now, take care of matters in the real world for me! I hope you can expedite the formation of the Mingyue Society.

Besides recruiting those who are Transcendent, influential figures in politics and business are also targets for us to draw in. I want you to prepare for the Mingyue Society’s first member gathering soon, and I expect to see some influential members present at the meeting. Do you understand my meaning?"

"Understood! Please be at ease, my Lord," the three subordinates bowed deeply to Chen Yu.

"Stand aside, and just watch what comes next," Chen Yu nodded and walked towards the altar. What he had to do next was to begin the process of necromantic retrofitting for this space, now revived with life.

Kojo Kyoko and her two counterparts, upon hearing Chen Yu’s words, stood aside brimming with expectancy, intently observing Chen Yu’s next actions.
