Zhu Tian started by deceiving his father-in-law from the perspective of pirates.

My own body, my own body! It seems a little different.

At this moment, Kabuto Yakushi formed hand seals and looked at the green monster in front of him with a curious expression!

It was a humanoid creature he had never seen before, with two bare fangs, green skin, a sturdy body, and covered in bone spurs.

If I had summoned this guy before, I would have had to be on guard at all times. This guy is even more dangerous than Madara Uchiha.

Although he doesn't seem very powerful, Kabuto Yakushi has this feeling that this guy is more dangerous than Madara Uchiha.

After being infused with fel energy by Rhodes, Kabuto's fel energy was no weaker than that of some Burning Legion generals, but this green monster was no weaker than him.

"Are you awake now, Gul'dan? You've been resurrected. I've brought you back to life, awakening you from the darkness of death," Rhodes said.

After hearing Rhodes' words, Gul'dan finally realized what was happening and then set his sights on two people.

He could feel an inexplicable force binding him, preventing him from freely controlling his body.

“Lord Rhodes, this guy is very powerful. If you need, I can temporarily erase his consciousness, but his overall combat level will decrease,” Kabuto Yakushi said.

“No, no, no, there’s absolutely no need for that. The man in front of you is a talent! We need his help and cooperation for our next operation,” Rhodes said.

"You've taken control of me?"

"It's just a small constraint. Let me introduce myself first!"

"I am Rhodes, the third commander of the Burning Legion, appointed by Sargeras himself," Rhodes said.

"The Legion needs my power once again, so they resurrected me, right? Is this some kind of special necromancy?"

"No, no, something's different. It's truly amazing magic. I feel something's wrong with my body," Gul'dan said.

"Your current body was specially prepared for you; you are now immortal." After saying this, Rhodes took out the greatsword that Sargeras had given him and then cleaved half of Gul'dan's body in two with a single strike.

But then a large number of paper scraps and fragments began to appear, and then Gul'dan's body began to be reassembled. Although it was slow, it was successfully reassembled after a few minutes.

“As long as it’s not something that targets the soul, or a sealing technique, you are immortal now. Even if you are blown to pieces, you can be resurrected,” Rhodes said.

Some people look down on the Impure World Reincarnation, seeing it as a false resurrection, but Rod knew it clearly.

This old orc, who would sell anything for power, would definitely be someone to be admired.

Because of this Comrade Gou'er Dan, he doesn't care about things like not feeling anything; he only cares about immense power.

"Hahaha! Apart from the lack of freedom, I feel great right now, as if the power within me is inexhaustible." Gul'dan clenched his fist and said.

“That’s right! In addition to being immortal, you also have unlimited stamina,” Kabuto Yakushi said.

However, if he is hit by a special Yin-Yang escape technique, that's a different story. But Gul'dan is now indeed immune to some mortal-level spells.

"So, this new Legion Commander who resurrected me, tell me what you want me to do?" Gul'dan asked Rhodes with a wicked smile.

"I have my eye on a world and am about to launch an invasion of it. If you agree to serve me in the future, I will grant you the freedom to move around as you please."

"And if you behave well in the future, I can resurrect you—not this fake resurrection, but a true, perfect resurrection," Rhodes said.

"It seems I have no choice, but I have a lot of experience in invading the world. I'll serve you, sir."

Chapter 247 We Steal Souls from the Shadowlands

To be honest, Gul'dan's abilities are quite impressive. In the 6.0 Warlords of Draenor expansion, he perfectly embodied the qualities of an intelligence-based boss.

Gul'dan once said something very insightful: "It was your Burning Legion that failed, not me, Gul'dan."

I completed all the tasks you asked me to do, but when I summoned Archimonde, he was killed.

You asked me to open the Legion portal and let the Burning Legion descend, and I did it. As a result, Kil'jaeden, you were also killed.

“Welcome to Gul’dan. You’ll find that following me is the wisest decision you’ve ever made.” Rhodes smiled.

"Ha ha, I hope so!" Gul'dan let out a strange laugh.

"Kabuto! From now on, you are not allowed to control him without my orders. Just let him move freely from now on," Rhodes said.

Although Gul'dan was given the right to act freely, Rhodes did not allow him to undo the Impure World Reincarnation technique on his own; the necessary restrictions still needed to be in place.

The apothecary nodded and then released Gul'dan from his control, allowing him to move his body freely.

"Hehehe! This new body is actually quite good, if it weren't for the fact that this guy could control it at any time." Gul'dan said after sensing the power contained within his body.

This inexhaustible stamina, along with the powerful pseudo-immortality, is incredibly impressive.

"As long as you like it!"

"Lord Rhodes! There's still a White Zetsu body. Whom do you want me to revive?" Kabuto Yakushi asked.

This time, they brought two White Zetsu clones, one of which was used to reincarnate Gul'dan, while the other has not yet been used.

"I want to conduct an experiment. Your world has a Pure Land of Bliss, a world where the dead reside."

The same is true of this world; the Shadowlands, where the dead reside, is where Gul'dan was able to be resurrected.

It's because he has become a demon, his soul swirling in the distorted void.

However, when other normal beings die, their souls go to the Shadow Realm and do not linger in the real world.

"I want to test whether a soul that has already entered the Shadowlands can be resurrected in this way," Rhodes said.

In the world of Naruto, as long as you have the other person's body tissue, you can use it as a medium to summon their soul from the Pure Land.

Is it possible to secretly bring the souls of the dead from the Shadowlands in the world of Azeroth?

“I haven’t tried it, but theoretically it should be possible. However, I’ve only just started exploring two worlds, so it’s possible I might fail,” Kabuto Yakushi said.

Anyway, let's give it a try!

Rhodes began to ponder which individuals' souls had entered the Shadow Realm but then reappeared in the real world.

The most obvious example is Uther the Lightbringer. According to the Shadowlands 9.0 storyline, Uther's soul went directly into the Shadowlands after his death.

However, Uther's soul reappeared at Uther's Tomb during the pre-patch quests of version 7.0.

Even in the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, players were told that they must have a Lich King.

This is also a typical example of Blizzard retconning the source material; Uther has already entered the Shadowlands, so theoretically he shouldn't be able to appear in reality.

However, his soul appeared multiple times in Uther's Tomb, and even gave players quests.

Another example is the Scarlet Inspector Whitemane, this long-legged lady, who was killed by players in the 60s.

In the Legion 7.0 expansion, she was transformed into the new Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. So, where did her soul come from?

The same applies to NPCs that exist in a spirit state; they are numerous.

When Rhodes played the game, he encountered quite a few NPCs in spirit form.

In addition, there are all sorts of ghosts and monsters that appear in the wild.

Therefore, Rhodes judged that the Shadowlands' control over reality was not strong; they would accept souls if they came, and they would not pursue the matter if souls did not come.

If the Impure World Reincarnation technique can truly summon souls from the Shadowlands to Azeroth, then these guys can't care.

Otherwise, the warden wouldn't have collected so many souls in the Maw!

Rhodes had already considered the choice of the person to be resurrected this time, selecting a special legendary paladin whose flesh and blood were specially brought over by Runti and his sister.

Gul'dan, standing to the side, was also filled with curiosity. He was eager to see how such a unique necromancy spell was cast.

This necromancy spell made him extremely envious; it was far more powerful than the crude necromancy he used when creating his Death Knight.

The medium used for the summoning was given to Kabuto Yakushi, and the body of the White Zetsu was placed in the center of the magic circle. Kabuto then began to form hand seals, mobilize the chakra energy within his body, and then cast the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

The ninjutsu was successfully activated and began to summon the souls of the dead. An incredibly terrifying suction force appeared, frantically consuming Kabuto Yakushi's chakra and evil energy.

There seemed to be some obstacle, some barrier, blocking the soul he was about to summon.

“Lord Rhodes. To summon this soul, I need even more powerful chakra,” Kabuto Yakushi said through gritted teeth.

In just a short while, he had used up nearly half of his chakra, and he had only initially located the ethereal soul. To pull it here, he would need an even greater amount of chakra.

"I'll provide you with chakra energy." Rhode immediately activated his green Rinnegan, then placed his hand on Kabuto Yakushi's shoulder and began to transfer chakra to him, while also refining his own chakra.

With the chakra provided by Rhodes, Kabuto Yakushi no longer had any worries and began to summon that ethereal soul with all his might.

His soul seemed to have shattered; one part was quickly summoned, while the other part seemed to be in a very distant place!

After spending a great deal of time and a massive amount of chakra energy, and even when Rhode felt a bit strained, Kabuto Yakushi finally managed to summon the soul completely.

At this moment, within the Shadowlands, a special soul in the Fortress of Ascension was taken away by an inexplicable force.

"It's strange! A part of his soul was wandering in this world, and I summoned it very easily."

But more than half of his soul resides in another, very, very distant place. If it weren't for Lord Rhodes providing me with chakra, I wouldn't have been able to summon him at all.

Kabuto wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "The amount of chakra I used this time... If this were in their world now, it could probably summon an entire Edo Tensei army!"

At this moment, the White Zetsu on the ground began to change. The unfamiliar soul was pieced back together and then injected into the body, and an extremely powerful golden energy erupted.

After this burst of golden energy, both Kabuto and Gul'dan instinctively felt a sense of disgust.

What an awful feeling! What is this golden energy?

The holy light faded, revealing a man with golden hair, a thick beard, wearing the armor of a lightbringer, and wielding a warhammer.

"Hmph! This damned Holy Light! I didn't expect it to be you, Uther the Lightbringer!" Gul'dan sneered.

That's right! The flesh and blood that Rhodes provided this time was that of the legendary paladin, Uther the Lightbringer, a paladin representing justice, and the mentor of the Lich King Arthas.

Kabuto, who was maintaining the hand seals, looked at Uther and then at Gul'dan. So, that golden energy is called Holy Light?

At this moment, Uther had not regained consciousness like Gul'dan, but was in a dazed state.

His shattered soul had just been completely reunited. The Impure World Reincarnation technique was not necromancy, but a special summoning technique. Therefore, after being resurrected, the powerful holy light within him still remained.

“Lord Rhodes, if we need to summon souls from that place again in the future, I estimate we will need your assistance, as my chakra alone is insufficient for the summoning,” Kabuto Yakushi said, wiping the sweat from his brow.

"This necromancy is truly amazing, completely different from other necromancy, and it's an energy I've never seen before." Gul'dan stared at the resurrected Uther with curiosity. He had witnessed the entire summoning ritual.

At this moment, Uther seemed to have regained consciousness and looked around.

"I am at Bastion, no, I am at Uther's Tomb, I am guiding the warriors forward."

Go and defeat the Lich King and destroy the Scourge!

No! I'm in the Fortress of Ascension, about to undergo the Ascension Ceremony and become a noble Ascended One. Why, why do I have two memories?!

Uther's memories seem to be in some kind of confusion, with some parts showing him in a place called Bastion.
