"But remember. Always be ready to serve me and my family at a moment's notice. You will answer me when I call for you no matter what. Go. The next time we meet you should become strong enough to serve as my right hand." Liam finished ordering a tall ice elf standing in front of him, the elf now looking very different from how he was before. His skin was a darker shade, his eyes pitch-black and even his aura had undergone tremendous change. However, the ice affinity he innately possessed remained intact. Matching the right body with the right soul gave tremendous benefits from the looks of it.

Of course, that did not mean this one was any special. Liam gave the same speech to a bunch of newly Risen to provide them with some inspiration and direction. Since these beings were pretty much alive and living and had their own will and wishes, he assumed something like this would help them find a purpose in their life. Or rather he wanted this to be their purpose to truly hone their development.

For now, he was just experimenting but his plan was to meet with them often and make some changes as they progressed. Only with time, the truly talented would stand out and he would nurture them more.

After Liam finished fully resurrecting the thousandth elf, he let out a sigh of tiredness. Unlike creating soul minions this process was still a bit tiring. But, it was worth the effort because standing in front of him were a thousand elves, every single one of them seemingly fully alive.

And this was all in a week's work. He still had given himself a few more weeks of rest so there was a lot left to be done.

Time quickly passed by and in the blink of an eye, the three months disappeared without any trace, except for the fact that numerous undead now inhabited the northern parts of the nether half of the earth.

Shayen gasped in shock as his gaze landed on a few Risen roaming about in a vast plagued plain. These particularly caught his eyes because of their gigantic size and the fact that these Risen were already at a Transcendent rank.

"What is happening? I thought your world was a newly integrated one? How could Transcendent rank Risen be here?" He looked up at the fox in dread who was currently carrying him around like excess baggage hogtied by mana strings.

Luna snorted at the floating undead, not sparing him another glance. Instead, she gaped in awe at the gigantic wolf who lifted his head to meet her gaze. Though Luna herself hadn't stepped into the transcendent rank so far, the wolf's aura did little to make her uncomfortable.

Also, this was not the first time she had met this wolf. This majestic beast sprawled in front of her was one of the earth's guardians who had become corrupted and fought against them back when things had been chaotic.

At that time, her master had defeated every single one of these guardians except for a giant whale-like creature. And now her master had once again brought these creatures back to life in the same world that had given birth to them.

"Amazing!" Luna's eyes twinkled like stars as she witnessed the prowess of her Master. She quickened her pace to meet back with him and congratulate him on his success.

This resulted in Shayen screaming for the next few minutes but soon the fox and her prisoner appeared in front of Liam. "Master! Congratulations!" Luna tossed the undead unceremoniously on the ground and ran over to give Liam a big hug.

Liam chuckled and let the fox down slowly. "I need a few more minutes and then we can return home." In front of him was surprisingly an army of about a hundred demons. If Shen Yue were here at the moment she would have instantly recognized the leader of the small horde, the demon she had personally summoned. The demon had insidiously plotted to open a portal and summon a demon army to the earth behind the shadows. It had a backdoor opened on a newly integrated planet and it did not want to miss this opportunity. Conquering a newly integrated planet would merit a lot of good things from its higher-ups.

Of course, it did not expect that the planet was already home to a monster it could never beat.

Liam finished creating the last Risen he had planned to forge for the time being and then nodded at Luna. He was finally done. Except for the dragon souls he had forged every single soul minion in his possession into a brand new Risen.

This experiment was also a roaring success as many of the Risen had already started making drastic progress. The Risen Guardians would be the prime example of this. Each of the guardians chose a big chunk of land as their territory and devoured everything in there.

This skyrocketed their growth. Along with their natural born affinity for the elements, they stepped into the Transcendent rank in no time. Liam himself hadn't touched that stage yet but in a mere three month's time, he had undead under his command who were extremely powerful than all of the humans currently residing in the world.

Liam had no doubt about the elves and the newly forged vampire souls he had collected from the tower. Every single one of them was a talented individual handpicked from their world. They only needed a few more years to show their full potential.

Now that the last batch of Risen was also completed, Liam felt more at ease and satisfied about leaving the planet unguarded one more time. His original plan was to leave Luna behind but the little fox had vehemently opposed the idea.

Thankfully the transcendent rank Guardians were ready to take her place and protect the family and guild in his absence. The protection of the system was also still holding true. Liam did not know how long this peace was going to last so this trip would have to be quick and surgical. It was time to bring Derek back.
