"These days, everyone knows that resurrected BOSSes are bound to meet a miserable end."
Infinite battlefields, endless cycles, without any hesitation, the dead and the living clash once again.
Lu Ping’an, who hadn’t fought in a long time (half a month), personally faced off with Evil Bone.
However, after just two moves, he lost interest.
Swiftly dodging the charging Evil Bone, the youth drew a circle with both hands.
Then, with a casual pull and drag, the crooked Evil Bone was stuffed inside the circle.
Accompanied by the snapping sound, the giant bag of flame engulfed it.

Behind Lu Ping’an, the blazing Holy Fire plants had new nourishment and were happily devouring it.
"Sure enough, resurrected monsters are no good..."
Ordinary mortals becoming fearless polluted creatures was a kind of enhancement.
But most of the time, the products of resurrected professionals and supernatural ability users were significantly weaker.
"Even if they have incomplete limbs, their power is clearly mutated. Although they seem to have some memories of their previous lives, they are too... too blunt. Yes, that’s the feeling, like a newborn beast. Straightforward, not knowing how to adapt."
The same machine with different mechanics produced completely different strengths... If the mechanic is an ape, the once-powerful machine would be pitiful.
Lu Ping’an just tested it a little and confirmed that the newborn will on the Evil Bone corpse was completely a fool. With a simple baiting technique, it could be easily dealt with.
However, looking at the battlefield, he could only manage a bitter smile.
Was the situation bad? No, it was quite good. Their side had enough powerful fighters, and they were overwhelmingly superior on every battlefield.
However, the number of opponents was large, too many, too many to see the edges... The massive number of undead creatures forced the warriors to grit their teeth and endure.
What’s even worse, as soon as one of their own men fell, within a few seconds or several minutes, a new undead would shakily rise from the spot... This, both in practical and mental terms, imposed tremendous pressure on the soldiers.
It has been proven that after the Earth Sealing Skill had completely collapsed, the whole earth had become an endless pool of pollution, and the dead could no longer rest in peace.
This scene allowed Lu Ping’an to see the future.
"No matter how strong our side is now, as long as the battle continues to wear on, we will eventually be swallowed by the countless newly-raised undead. Is this the calamity of the living..."
Lu Ping’an was a bit headache. The early arrival of the Third Disaster, a month ahead of schedule, disrupted his original plan... Perhaps the plan of every outsider in the world has been completely disrupted.
However, the outsiders have no right to complain.
"... This damn bastard completely set us up."
According to the Rainbow Prophet’s conclusion, the only possibility to thoroughly ruin the Rainbow Church’s prophecy is that the newborn Sun God... is an outsider.
If it was an outsider from a different world, then even the Lord of Rainbow himself could not cross the world’s limits and predict his fate.
Even after he entered this world, the absence of a foundation made it extremely difficult for foreknowledge, let alone involving the existence of a deity. In the absence of the Lord of Rainbow, it was unrealistic to predict accurately.
Outsider + Deity status shattered the original prophecy time point and made the Third Disaster appear a month early.
Would this lead to an early doomsday for the world? Would it bring the other disasters earlier? No one can answer this question.
Perhaps, even the newborn Sun God who had captured the "Power of Purification" had not anticipated that his successful Ascension would cause such a massive reaction.
After all, the previous "ordinary Sun Gods" had relatively calm outcomes.
Who should be blamed? Perhaps, if you want to find someone to blame, you should first find the Sun God who escaped.
"... Let’s find a way to survive first."
Lu Ping’an glanced back. There were quite a few corpses, but they were all newly resurrected "new monsters". A few powerful Corpse Monsters were under the special attention of the fierce generals on his side, and their victory was only a matter of time.
But he also noticed that many people were injured and looked tired.
In order to take into consideration the speed of the civilians, their march was not fast, but the constant fighting, without a break, took its toll.
"We’ve reached our limits..."
He didn’t know how long they had been running, but now it might be time to rest.
Thus, Lu Ping’an began planting plants... He was becoming more and more aware of the practicality of a Gardener on the battlefield.
Flaming flowers appeared at the outskirts of the new campsite. Although their attack power was limited, at the moment, they were extremely valuable just for their ability to provide light and dispel the eerie coldness that was everywhere.
The distributed flame seeds warmed the hearts and souls of the ordinary people... But as experimental discards, their numbers were running low.
One by one, the bonfires were lit, and temporary camps were set up.
"Rest for four hours. Warriors take turns on guard duty."
After giving the orders, Lu Ping’an returned to his tent.
He didn’t plan to rest, as his stamina was still high due to its phased distribution.
Inside the tent, people were already piled up.
There were lord’s people, royal people, Knight Corps people, Lu Ping’an’s people, informed and uninformed, as long as they had decision-making power, they were all present.
It was time to consider what to do now, as well as everyone’s future.
However, the meeting got off to a very rough start.
Some people hadn’t grasped the situation yet, some just started to explain, but immediately got interrupted. There were people who wanted to run away on their own, and even people who wanted to turn back...
Lu Ping’an ate and drank tea while listening to their noisy chatter. He was not in a hurry. After waiting for them to calm down, he finally spoke.
"... Let me be frank, my position is different from most of yours. If we discard everything and pack up and leave, things would be much easier."
Lu Ping’an directly removed himself and his party from the discussion. Just one sentence cooled down the chaotic tent in an instant.
Any rational person would realize that if Lu Ping’an ran away, the situation would spiral out of control.
"Catherine, tell them what happened all along."
Catherine hesitated a little.
"All of it?"
"All of it." Lu Ping’an was still eating, he hadn’t eaten lunch and had just started running, so he was starving now.
So, "Seven Disasters", "Beast God", "Earth Sealing Skill", "Escaped Sun" — these heavy news stories emerged one by one in the small tent.
People gasped, roared in disbelief, and then were silenced by others. Some were lost and desperate.
Lu Ping’an’s intelligence and the "locals’" were not on the same level at all.
The blasphemous words jumped out one by one, directly challenging the worldviews of the "natives" present.
Catherine finished speaking and stood aside to rest.
Immediately afterward, the informed and newly informed people began arguing, with various remarks and opinions all mixed up.
When the situation seemed about right, Lu Ping’an stood up.
"You all want to live, right? Then listen to my suggestion."
