The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen
Chapter 119 - 35 New Transcendent?

Chapter 119: Chapter 35 New Transcendent?

"Are you asking about ghosts and zombies?"

Yin Hai was sitting in the room where he first met Bai Yi, in front of his own desk. In front of the desk, Bai Yi, with an orange cat hat on her head, was holding a book, her eyes filled with curiosity.

"Yeah! I read about zombies and ghosts in a folklore novel and was wondering if there’s a transcendent profession that can achieve that."

Of course, all of that was just an excuse.

After the orange cat returned last night, Bai Yi learned everything about the battle from it.

When she heard that there appeared to have been powers similar to those of an Undead Mage, she and the orange cat immediately sensed something was off.

She remembered clearly, from the compendium of transcendent professions she had read that day, that there wasn’t any such ability listed.

And that compendium, written by Yin Hai based on his experiences dealing with other nations and verified through the Scribe’s extraordinary abilities, was undoubtedly one of the most comprehensive in the world.

However, the best proof was the Bone Staff brought back by the orange cat. Although Bai Yi was wary of touching the creepy staff, the panel had already provided the Bone Staff’s specific details.

To gather more information, Bai Yi still decided to seek out Yin Hai.

For this, she even found a very reasonable excuse.

She found a folklore novel about ghosts in the bookshelf of the room and, combining it with her recently acquired identity related to transcendent factors, it seemed more than reasonable.

And incidentally, she had other reasons to be here today; just asking casually wouldn’t raise any suspicions.

However, this visit really did give Bai Yi an unexpected answer.

"Indeed, there is."

After pondering for a while, Yin Hai first gave a confirmed answer, then carefully added:

"Just last month, all of us, ah, here it refers to the Level 6 transcendents from various nations, all felt a disturbance.

It was the same as when the Divine Fragments first descended. At that time, I was holding one searching for a Qualifier, and one of the Divine Fragments fell near me."

Yin Hai gestured with his hand towards the branch Bai Yi carried behind her back and continued to explain.

"That Divine Fragment possessed abilities similar to those described in the folklore novels, capable of awakening souls and resurrecting corpses into a kind of puppet.

It looks very similar to zombies and ghosts, but unfortunately, the awakened zombies and ghosts do not retain much of their reasoning. If they were intended for resurrection, that would be disappointing.

Moreover, the negative effects of that Divine Fragment are also troublesome, gradually transforming the holder into a dead thing, akin to the awakened zombies and ghosts.

Only by stopping its use in time and using the transcendent abilities similar to those of the Sun Church Court for purification, can these effects be eliminated.

Plus, to date, no corresponding Level 6 transcendent fragment has appeared, and no qualifiers have been found, and the preparatory rituals are unclear, lacking corresponding data, hence it was not mentioned in the book you read."

Bai Yi nodded seriously, appearing to have her curiosity satisfactorily fulfilled, then she took out two pieces of paper to start talking about "serious matters."

"Yesterday, I successfully advanced to [Butcher], and this is the next ritual, called Botanist.

Also, this is the formula for a new potion, requested by General Huo last time, but I do not know how to find him. Since I was coming here today, I brought it to you."

Yin Hai took the papers, his eyes quickly scanning them, his smile growing wider.

The ritual of the [Butcher] required sacrificial killings as per the requirements, and Bai Yi had the maid search for the ritual sacrifices yesterday, and he had already received the news, waiting here early today.

As for the potion formula, it was unexpectedly pleasant.

This time, the formula was finally not just stewing herbs in an iron pot, even though the effects of that potion were indeed good, he still hadn’t managed to alter the production method to a suitably mass-producible process.

Even just switching the iron pot to a ceramic one had significantly worsened the final effects of the potion.

And this directly resulted in the pharmacists at Zhuchen Court who produce potions recently starting to switch to learning cooking instead.

It seems the experimental equipment sent the day before yesterday had some effect after all.

Although he hadn’t truly verified the formula yet, he was no longer skeptical of Bai Yi’s potions.

Of course, he had no doubts only about its effects...

But what he didn’t know was that there was a reason why this potion was so normal.

It wasn’t a potion researched by Bai Yi herself. Over the last three days, besides cultivating the Fungus Blanket, she had devoted all her efforts to cultivating extraordinary plants.

This is also why she quickly mastered the [Farmer] profession.

As for the source of the potion, it was selected from the knowledge gifted by Bai Yi from a little twig.

The advantage is that the materials are relatively easy to obtain, the procedure is simple, and the primary effect is to speed up healing, able to achieve about half the recovery ability of a Butcher.

And because it is not Bai Yi’s own research, the taste was much improved.

After adapting it with materials from this world yesterday, the taste of the potion was kept within an understandable range.

Yes, even following the recipe, the final taste of the potion still challenges the taste buds.

It’s truly a sad reality...

After chatting idly with Yin Hai for a while, Bai Yi left Zhuchen Court holding the orange cat.

Back in her residence, Bai Yi’s standard professional smile was finally taken off, and she started to think about the intelligence she had just received.

If Yin Hai wasn’t deceiving her, the Divine Fragment that suddenly appeared last month was when she hadn’t even entered the instance.

Could it be that this instance wasn’t triggered by her arrival, but has always existed, and she was merely a passerby?

A month ago, she wasn’t even participating in this Lord’s game and was still a high school girl!

Moreover, clear descriptions in the diary left by Karis outlined his whole process of inventing the Undead Spell, which he indeed developed from scratch.

At that time, Karis hadn’t even come to the hills behind her territory...

No, wait!

Bai Yi suddenly realized something.

The flow of time inside this instance is three times that of her original world!

Subtracting the few days since she arrived here, wasn’t a month ago exactly after she had killed Karis?!

Bai Yi’s expression changed several times, finally comforting herself:

"Perhaps it’s just a coincidence, even Karis’s Undead Spell was merely of the third grade.

The relic obtained this time corresponds to level 6 Transcendent, about grade 5, and that difference isn’t simply bridged..."

But her mind continued to wander, if this Transcendent relic truly related to Karis’s Undead Magic, then how did Undead Magic become a Transcendent relic in this world?

Could other Transcendent professions in this world also mirror other professions?

With this thought, Bai Yi couldn’t help but associate it with the Seeker Scholar Transfer Certificate she had obtained before entering the instance.

The ability Nong San got after changing professions was somewhat similar to Yin Hai’s.

You can see certain similarities, but the differences are significant.

Thinking this way, her "qualifying" with the twig might not be a coincidence...

Bai Yi took off the backpack she carried on her back, unfolded the layers of silk wraps, and revealed the twig emitting a faint greenish glow.

Her superpower was not only similar to this twig but also somewhat related to the Divine Fragment representing [Chimera] brought back by the orange cat.

Only that it was mixed with quite a few other abilities, making some differences.

Bai Yi felt like she was onto something, but was still just scratching the surface, lacking a lot of preliminary information.

After thinking for a while, Bai Yi decided to put this matter aside for now.

Yesterday, besides the spoils of war brought back by Ju from Bai Sheng, there was a new demand.

"Gigantification of soldiers and long-range methods, relying solely on Erosion Worms is too monotonous now, it’s time to cultivate some differentiated types of soldiers.

Not just for combat support, but also logistics; sending Erosion Worms to gather plants seems like an overkill and is also inefficient.

It’s time to research other types of Insect Swarms."
