Zhui Yi had already pleted all the main quests on his end, while Chen Mo had just finished gathering the divine artifact ponent fragments.
By now, Zhui Yi was waiting for him at their mysterious mentor’s location.
Upon seeing Chen Mo return, Zhui Yi handed him the three Dominator-related orbs obtained from the main quest.
Upon receiving the three Dominator-related orbs from Zhui Yi, Chen Mo immediately received The Heavenly Path’s Hint.
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: You have successfully collected "The Undead Dominator’s Will," "the Undead Dominator’s Intent," "The Power of the Undead’s Dominator," and "The Undead Dominator’s Heart." Would you like to merge them and receive the legacy of the former Dominator of the Abyss of Death?]
At this time, the divine artifact ponent quest hadn’t been fully pleted, so Chen Mo naturally couldn’t finish the main quest immediately. He postponed this matter for a bit and approached the mysterious mentor, saying, "I’ve retrieved the divine artifact ponent fragments. How should they be reforged?"
"You just need to go to the Sovereign Altar. There’s an altar elf there. If you collect some Power of the Undead for him, he can reforge your artifact ponents for you."
Chen Mo naturally knew he had to go to the Sovereign Altar, but the Sovereign Altar wasn’t within the boundaries of this Abyss of Death. Although his Divine Flicker could teleport him across the map, he couldn’t randomly fly across realms.
He needed the mysterious mentor to help him teleport there.
"Senior, could you please tell me how to get to the Sovereign Altar?"
"Simple, I’ll teleport you there."
As he spoke, the mysterious mentor’s withered finger pointed towards Chen Mo. Everyone present, including Zhui Yi and the Skeleton Monsters, was teleported along with Chen Mo to an altar wreathed in Dark Energy.
Chen Mo stood before the altar, a potent dark aura permeating the surroundings. The altar itself was imposing and solemn, constructed from massive blocks of Obsidian, its surface etched with ancient runes and strange patterns. It emanated a mysterious light, with eerie dark flames flickering upon it.
The altar elf standing atop it was a tall and majestic figure. Clad in a black robe, his face was veiled by a thin layer of black smoke, making him seem like an incarnation of darkness. His eyes, deep and shadowy, gleamed with a green light that appeared to see through all things.
The altar elf extended a pale hand, gesturing for Chen Mo to e closer. His voice was low and raspy, "Dominator of the Undead, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. If you can bring me the Power of the Undead, I will reforge the artifact ponents for you."
"How do I obtain this Power of the Undead?" Chen Mo asked.
"Simply sacrifice the ghosts you have summoned; it will generate the Power of the Undead."
"How many do I need to sacrifice?"
"Not many, just one trillion."
Good heavens, that’s ’not many’? Chen Mo was rendered speechless.
Fortunately, his ability to summon Skeleton Monsters was now incredibly strong; he could summon over two billion at most. On average, each cast could yield hundreds of millions, or at least tens of millions. Gathering one trillion wouldn’t actually be too difficult. Especially since he also had Zhui Yi to cast skills with him, meaning it was double the amount each time.
Since the other party had made their request clear, Chen Mo and Zhui Yi wasted no time and immediately began summoning Skeleton Monsters.
Now possessing the Transcendent Calm Technique, when Chen Mo and Zhui Yi cast The Undead’s Legion (which normally had a 5-second cooldown), their actual cooldown was only 0.05 seconds per cast. This didn’t even factor in the effects of cooldown reduction negation or the Light and Dark Source Crystal. With these stacked effects, if they summoned frantically, their summoning speed would be even faster.
However, after summoning, they still needed to perform the sacrifice, which took a bit of time, so it wasn’t possible to be that fast every single time. Generally, it took about one second to plete the cycle from summoning to sacrifice.
Summoning together, they often conjured hundreds of millions of Skeleton Monsters at once. After one minute of this, the two of them bined could sacrifice an average of about 500 million Skeleton Monsters per second.
Thus, to gather one trillion Skeleton Monsters, it would take the two of them about 2,000 seconds of summoning and sacrificing.
It was quite time-consuming. If it took the two of them this long, one person would be utterly exhausted.
Chen Mo felt quite grateful to have such a helpful panion as Zhui Yi.
Those 2,000 seconds—more than half an hour—of repeatedly summoning and sacrificing were incredibly monotonous and boring.
After the final group of Skeleton Monsters was sacrificed, Chen Mo finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Well, that should be enough, right?" he said, looking weakly at the altar elf before him.
The altar elf nodded in satisfaction. "As expected of the Dominator of the Undead, your efficiency is high. I thought it would take you ten days to half a month. Please give me the divine artifact ponent fragments, and I will repair them immediately."
Chen Mo promptly dumped all the divine artifact ponent fragments before the altar elf, then sat down nearby to rest.
Upon receiving the divine artifact ponent fragments, the altar elf immediately drew upon the one trillion Power of the Undead and began the repair work.
He placed the fragments on the altar and began to chant. The surrounding Dark Energy started to surge, forming a rotating vortex. The Power of the Undead emerged from the altar, swirling around the fragments. The Dark Energy quickly merged with them, and the fractured parts of the divine artifact ponent fragments gradually connected.
Strange runic patterns began to appear on their surface, emitting a faint glow.
With practiced skill, the altar elf guided the Power of the Undead, rapidly repairing the fragments.
