Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

```

These soldiers who ate empty paychecks mostly got into the army through connections, lazy and idle, they were old hands by now.

Such guys, of course, didn't deserve any courtesy.

And the soldiers with combat power, were basically at the third to fourth-tier rank, naturally, all were ordinary template goods, only the military officers at the level of Thousands had templates that reached elite status.

Zi Liyuan and his men had no second thoughts, a brief investigation revealed that these officials had essentially never done anything good.

So, eliminate them!

Then, they were all herded onto the spaceship, directly transported to Tianxiang City, handed over to Fan Yuer and her subordinates who held administrative lord positions.

If the soldiers passed the test, they could be recruited into the new corps, and eventually, they were likely to be dispatched to some towns, of course, for garrison duties.

And those who did not pass the test, naturally, returned to their original form, to serve as citizen laborers for them.

However, being laborers in the Land of the Dead was actually quite easy, mainly getting familiar with various mechanical tools, and most of the time, just being a supervisor.

It was easy, the pay was decent as long as no mistakes were made, and if monthly tasks were completed, a family of ten could live quite well.

In the Sea of Realms, the appearance of subjects usually resulted from the lords recruiting through altars.

The subjects recruited in this way were basically the forefathers who had long died on the planets of the real world.

Their Spirits were summoned by the Heavenly Dao of the Sea of Realms, then given new fleshly bodies.

However, such corporal bestowment by the Heavenly Dao of the Sea of Realms did not allow their bodies to awaken and become Professionals like in the normal reality.

This was why the mercenaries and wanderers who entered the Sea of Realms could grow to the fourth-tier peak swiftly.

Subjects summoned by the Sea of Realms were, in most cases, ordinary templates, rarely high-quality templates.

Even if these individuals were nurtured, their combat power remained extremely limited, unless nurtured as special talents otherwise, the cost-performance ratio was incredibly low.

For such subjects wishing to change their fate against odds, two methods existed: either someone used a template card on them.

For instance, given an ordinary hero template, they could advance to a hero template, resulting in a significant boost in combat power.

Another example would be a BOSS template card, regardless of the quality of the BOSS template card, the combat power increase was substantial.

However, template cards could only be obtained in three places: opening treasure chests, which were completely random; some special Secret Realms; and rewards from the Divine Demonic Tower.

Thus, these things were indeed extremely precious.

Generally, if a promising subject appeared, they were often trained for administrative management, after all, hopes weren't set on their combat power, and handling an office position would suffice.

But how could the noble families of the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty offer opportunities to subjects?

In their own families, branching out was exceptionally simple.

Even after reaching the fifth-tier Epic level, when childbirth became extremely difficult, by simply finding several wives and concubines and exerting some effort daily, it was always possible to conceive.

Once a son was born, through some expenses, certain growth-promoting treasures used could have him reach adulthood at 18 years within a year.

Upon awakening as a Professional, depending on their talent, combat professionals would be scrutinized for talent quality and nurtured if valuable.

If not very valuable, they were sent to branch out and marry a hundred or so wives and concubines, then grow old and die within the house.

In a few years, a massive family came into being.

Of course, this method was but a temporary expedient, for those rushed to grow up had foundational flaws; reaching the fourth-tier peak was their ceiling unless they became lords.

Even if they became lords, they could reach at most the fifth-tier peak, and after becoming epic warriors, their path was cut short.

Thus, such noble clan families, for several generations due to Life Origin defects, wouldn't accomplish much.

Therefore, few noble clan families operated this way.

Yet training family members to become management personnel ensured absolute loyalty, far outweighing any effort put into outside commoners.

Apart from lords recruiting subjects, the largest source was, in fact, the Heavenly Dao of the Sea of Realms randomly refreshing the newcomers on the lord's territory.

These newcomers weren't exclusively from the lord's real-world planet; they came from all human planets across the universe.

But these newcomers were locked of their past life memories, which only returned once they became lords.

It could be said that these newcomers held the lowest status among all beings in the Sea of Realms.

And presently, in the Land of the Dead, all the lords gave instructions to recruit as many newcomers from the wild as possible.

There was no choice; having occupied both Tianxiang City and Pan Shi City territories, the need for labor became immense.

Meanwhile, on the southern coastline of the Land of the Dead, the landscape had already changed.

On the surface, not much was visible, only a city was established with various mechanical defensive tools constructed within.

But beneath this city, it was completely hollowed out, forming a hundred-meter-deep steel bunker.

And the Insect Race dominator forcibly enslaved by Zi Liyuan was contentedly developing here.

Without a massive resource influx, it solely relied on the surviving Insect warriors unnoticed from the earlier cleanup to secretly grow underground.

Yet it could only be said, the Insect Race, being one of the four great scourges, developed swiftly despite harsh conditions.

Under the dominion of the Insect Race dominator, the Insect warriors excavated and tunneled below, establishing various pathways and then extending the mycelium outward.

Stretching all the way into the ocean, diving tens of thousands of meters to the seabed.

Initially, with no Insect Race adapted to ocean genes, they could only tunnel through the deep mud layers of the seabed, excavating resources buried deep beneath the ocean, predominantly various minerals.

It had to be said, after becoming Zi Liyuan's slave, even the Goddess of Luck would occasionally offer a slight favor.

Thus, the Insect Race dominator was incredibly lucky to discover a small energy ore vein at the bottom of a trench in the nearby deep sea.

With this small energy ore vein, the explosive growth of the Insect Race commenced immediately.

Obtaining ocean genes posed no difficulty for the Insect Race dominator.

Its gene pool already contained some ocean genes, now with an energy ore vein, coupled with various minerals and resources, a batch of low-level oceanic Insect warriors was swiftly manufactured.

Hundreds of thousands of these oceanic Insect warriors surged into the sea, beginning to hunt marine life.

Starting with lower-tier ones, they acquired their genetic information, brought it back to the Insect Race dominator for research, analysis, and deciphering.

Then extracting good genes to infuse into newly created oceanic Insect warriors.

Generation after generation, within a brief month, fourth-tier oceanic Insect warriors were manufactured.

With these fourth-tier oceanic insects, ocean exploration became much simpler, even targeting fifth-tier sea beasts.

After all, the Insect Race employed the classic swarm tactics, relying on numbers to smother the opponent.

With no scarcity of energy, minerals, or resources, the Insect Race once again entered a population explosion mode.

This time, without a freak like Zi Liyuan hindering them, development was even more rapid.

Since the Land of the Dead descended into the first layer of the Sea of Realms, in merely two months, the Insect Race dominator expanded its army to over a billion oceanic insects!

Such a number of oceanic insects, in the grand ocean view, was minute but the resources seized were abundant!

Mainly, the Insect Race's operations were highly organized, and its execution capability was terrifyingly strong.

With a steady stream of resources flowing in, the insect swarm quickly entered a virtuous cycle of developmental expansion mode.

Countless insects flooded into the ocean, then wiped out all living creatures in the surrounding sea area.

In just two months, the dominator of the insect swarm once again held more than thirty fifth-tier Epic Insect Generals.
