In a simulated life scenario, how do you defy fate and change your destiny every time?

Chapter 51 Second Life: The Boundary Between Life and Death
A few minutes later.

All the skeleton sentinels were killed by the goblins deep inside the cave, but Lu Yuan had already obtained the information he wanted.

This underground cavern is intricate and difficult to attack, resembling an underground labyrinth.

If an ordinary person were to rush in, they could easily lose their way.

Moreover, it is home to at least tens of thousands of goblins, making it a small goblin kingdom.

If we launch a direct attack, we will definitely suffer heavy losses.

But this did not stump Lu Yuan.

He held a skull staff and softly chanted a spell.

[Sixth-tier Dark Magic - Plague Mist!]

The elements within a ten-mile radius seemed to be summoned, and they frantically converged on him.

The elements gathered together, forming a super-large six-pointed star magic circle.

Wisps of highly poisonous green mist emerged from the magic circle and then spread throughout the depths of the cavern via the ventilation shafts.

Many weak goblins, unaware of what had happened, were poisoned and turned into a puddle of thick liquid.

Their corpses quickly rotted and melted, turning into a large amount of miasma, which greatly enhanced the power of the poisonous fog!
"Kill them." After Lu Yuan finished experimenting with dark magic, he ordered the skeleton army to enter the cave and slaughter all the surviving goblins.

He felt no sympathy whatsoever for these short, ugly, green-skinned creatures.

Moreover, goblins are weak in strength but numerous in number.

For Scourge Skeletons, they are undoubtedly the best upgrade material.

half year later.

The millions of goblins living near the Kagar Mountains almost all fell to Lu Yuan's blade.

The entire burial ground also became Lu Yuan's private garden.

Tens of millions of wild skeletons were all killed or subdued by Lu Yuan.

And the number of Scourge troops under his command has finally exceeded one million!

Among them are 400,000 Tier 3 Skeleton Warriors, 200,000 Tier 4 Skeleton Swordsmen, and 100,000 Tier 4 Archers and Skeleton Mages!

Besides.

The Headless Knights have finally surpassed the 50,000 mark!

Moreover, Lucia used various channels to exchange the large amount of gold and silver treasures that Lu Yuan had seized for equipment and weapons made by the dwarves.

When the Headless Knights donned this equipment, their combat power more than doubled!
After he inquired, he...

And finally, from Lucia's words, they learned the origin of the Headless Knights.

Hundreds of kilometers away from the burial grounds, there lies a wasteland of skeletons.

This wasteland stretches for thousands of miles, located at the southernmost edge of the magical world, near the abyss rift, at the boundary between life and death.

Five hundred years ago.

A powerful abyss demon king, after years of planning and with the help of the dark organization, finally broke through the world barrier with his supreme power and forcibly tore open a spatial rift!
Endless abyssal demons surged forth from the spatial rifts.

They kill, plunder, and commit all sorts of atrocities, spreading death and war to every corner of the world.

When the Holy Emperor learned of this, he was furious.

They immediately dispatched 300,000 Holy Light Knights and over a million troops to quell the abyss demons.

The demons of the abyss are indeed powerful.

The Holy Light Knights are a vital national asset.

Every knight is a powerful being selected from thousands through rigorous trials.

Especially after being baptized by holy light.

Besides charging across the battlefield, they can also unleash a variety of powerful light magic!
Faced with the overwhelming might of the Holy Light Empire's iron cavalry, the demon army suffered repeated defeats and was eventually driven back into the abyss rift.

However, that spatial rift has not disappeared and has remained to this day.

Powerful abyssal monsters often accidentally wander into this world.

For hundreds of years.

The Bone Wasteland, the main battlefield between the Holy Light Empire and the demon army, has buried countless skeletons and corpses, especially under the constant erosion of the aura of death over the years.

The Bone Wasteland has now become the stronghold of the undead, home to hundreds of millions of skeletons and undead creatures!
Lucia subdued a large number of wild headless riders in the outer areas of the Bone Wasteland and trained and organized them into the Headless Rider Order.

"The Wasteland of Bones?"

The crimson soul fire in Lu Yuan's eyes flickered uncertainly, showing great interest in it.

After that battle in the abyss.

To prevent a similar situation from happening again, the Holy Light Empire cleaned up almost the entire magical world.

The undead creatures scattered throughout the world, having lost their place of refuge, were forced to gather in the Bone Wasteland.

Bone dragons, necromancers, spider demons, warlocks, zombies, vampire bats, dark mages...

Almost all undead creatures have gathered on this wasteland.

If Lu Yuan can conquer this wasteland of bones, then the strength of the Scourge will surely increase dramatically!
However, the Holy Light Empire has a Holy Light Knights Order of tens of thousands of men and more than one hundred thousand ordinary troops stationed near the Bone Wasteland year-round.

Moreover, this spatial rift is a passage connecting the Abyss Plane and the Magic World.

Those abyss lords would absolutely not tolerate the Bone Wasteland falling into the hands of others.

Lu Yuan wants to take over this territory, but he must proceed slowly and steadily, and not be too hasty.

Also.

Norton also brought two pieces of bad news.

“Master, according to the intelligence I have recently received, the Holy Light Empire has dispatched a large number of knights and scouts, seemingly searching for demon bloodlines.”

Norton paused, glancing at Lucia beside him.

After this period of getting along.

Even he could see that Lucia's bloodline was extraordinary, definitely not just that of an Abyss Demon.

"Demon bloodline? How would the Holy Light Empire know about this?" A hint of doubt flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes.

Moreover, the Kingdom of Ryan is merely a vassal state of the Holy Light Empire, located tens of thousands of kilometers away from the capital, resulting in a significant delay in receiving information.

This indicates that the Holy Light Empire's royal family knew about this matter a long time ago.

However, the Holy Light Empire has stood for over a thousand years, so it must possess unimaginable resources and methods. It's not surprising that they can foresee the future.

"The fact that the Holy Light Empire is going to such great lengths means that Lucia's bloodline is probably of great importance."

Lu Yuan pondered to himself.

First, we can rule out the possibility that Lucia is an simulator.

As per normal conditions.

After the newbie protection period ends.

During each simulation, ten simulators travel to the same reincarnation world.

Lucia has been enslaved by the Scourge for so long.

Lu Yuan knows her inside and out, even what kind of shorts she wears every day, so she can't possibly be an imitator.

What could possibly be the reason that would cause such a stir and concern within the Holy Light Empire?

We must find Lucia, no matter the cost.
"Could Lucia be the chosen one?"

Lu Yuan shook his head, rejecting the guess.

Good and evil cannot coexist.

As a member of the demon race, it is unlikely that Lucia will be chosen by the will of the magical world.

Moreover, if she were truly the chosen one, she would never have been so easily enslaved by Lu Yuan.

Unable to find an answer, Lu Yuan could only put the question aside for the time being.

"What's the second piece of bad news?" he asked Norton immediately.

"Reporting to the master, the super-level forbidden dark spell of the former Dark Organization has been successfully researched."

"The Dreadlord has decided to send down an avatar to personally preside over the forbidden ritual!"
