Undead Mage from a Cell

Chapter 709: Chapter 707: The Book of the Box of Fate’s Choice

After making up his mind, Gu Xi dragged the oil lamp a bit further back.

Reassessing the oil lamp before him, Gu Xi confirmed that his thoughts were correct.

To the eyes of an Undead Mage, the oil lamp was also an excellent corpse.

Ignoring the fact that the lamp had once reached Level 17, although its level had dropped due to various reasons, its foundation had been established, and the prior enhancements to its body had surely not decreased with the level drop.

On the contrary, the previous growth experience had aptly improved the quality of the body.

In the eyes of an Undead Mage, this was a superior corpse.

Gu Xi also noticed at this moment that the lamp oil inside the oil lamp had a faint scent of Earth Vein energy.

To prove his conjecture, Gu Xi especially summoned the Netherworld Dragon Robe Carrier, observing through its vision.

This confirmed Gu Xi’s speculation.

In this world, the energy from the Earth Vein, particularly within the mining veins, was completely extracted, transformed, and injected as lamp oil into the lamp before him.

The devices seemed to be responsible for the conversion of Earth Vein energy.

Looking back at the pipeline pulled out by his Death Incarnation, Gu Xi paused for a moment.

No wonder the Lamp God screeched so sharply before his core was destroyed.

It turns out that I had ruined his years of preparation.

The Lamp God had been using the whole world to save his own life.

In the end, Gu Xi had pulled out his oxygen line.

Now Gu Xi’s subordinates were still battling against his oxygen line.

What is this, throwing someone into a well and then throwing a stone in?

Gu Xi blinked, and finally, as if nothing had happened, dragged the oil lamp further away.

Not giving the opponent any chance for resurrection.

The Book of Deceit also appeared beside Gu Xi.

A corpse like this oil lamp was definitely unsuitable for transformation into an Insect Swarm.

Transforming it into a Vampire to suck lamp oil?

Only the Book of Deceit was usable, transforming it into something eerie.

But just as the Book of Deceit moved in front of Gu Xi, another book slammed it aside heavily.

Looking at the phantom of the Book of the Box of Fate in front of him, Gu Xi was momentarily stunned.

He then realized that this was the first time the Book of the Box of Fate had appeared before him on its own.

This indicated that the Lamp God in front of him was suitable to be made into a Lich or Corpse Witch.

This discovery decisively led Gu Xi to give up the idea of transforming it into something eerie.

He extended his hand, and the Book of the Box of Fate fell into his grasp.

Gu Xi quickly flipped through the information within the Book of the Box of Fate.

Summoning, it could be transformed into a Level 8 Lich.

He could forgo that option, as his intention in dealing with the Lamp God was not for that purpose.

Therefore, undead transformation required some adjustments.

The transformation would result in a Level 7 Lich, a level inferior to the summoning effect, yet the potential, personal abilities, and some memories could be completely retained.

Given enough time, returning to Level 17 would not be a problem.

These two choices left Gu Xi somewhat speechless.

However, Gu Xi quickly saw a third choice.

Transform the oil lamp into a form of Contracted Undead; the transformation would also result in a Level 7 Lich, but with stronger abilities and its own intelligence and character.

The Book of the Box of Fate offered this option due to Gu Xi having gained the core of the Lamp God.

Even if he only obtained fragments of the core, this was still considered the core.

Additionally, because the core was gem-like, it was most suitable for making a Lich’s Life Box.

Furthermore, the Lamp God’s oil lamp was relatively intact.

Transforming it into a Contracted Undead was most suitable.

Looking at the oil lamp with no sign of its lid, Gu Xi blinked.

Is what the Book of the Box of Fate saying true?

Considered intact like this?

This must be a joke.

But upon reflection, Gu Xi found the logic quite simple.

After all, this Lamp God’s corpse was at most Level 7.

Summoning was the simplest; it could directly enable the summoned Lich to reach Level 8 and then be used as an ordinary soldier.

Undead transformation was feasible, but the resultant Lich level would begin at Level 7, though it could be viewed as a reinforced elite undead.

Like the Bone Titan following Gu Xi.

With self-awareness and the ambition to grow.

The real allure for Gu Xi was the possibility of the Lamp God becoming a Contracted Undead.

Despite having many undead, only three could truly become Contracted Undead.

Luna was contracted when he was at his most dangerous and desperate.

Moreover, Luna was a significant existence as an Elf in Yalidu City, a key to the Death City.

Shaya was saved by Gu Xi in Victoria City and also a crucial aspect of the Three Divine Skills of Death Incarnation, managing the intelligence system Gu Xi held.

Eldest Princess Anna was a body recovered by Gu Xi from the Mirror Image Underground Palace, eventually gaining a chance to transform into a Contracted Undead through various means.

It was Eldest Princess Anna who assisted Gu Xi one last time, completing the final skill in the Undead Three Divine Skills.

Death Lord.

She also gave Gu Xi a push, leading him down a different path.

Each Contracted Undead under Gu Xi was core to his very existence.

He later found many quality corpses, like Players trapped in Sleeping Beauty Castle, and the Yaksha King brought back in slumber.

All were quality corpses with high potential, but Gu Xi preferred to keep them as reserves rather than transforming them into Contracted Undead.

Now with the Book of the Box of Fate proposing this direction, it invoked curiosity within Gu Xi.

Is the Lamp God truly suitable to become a Contracted Undead?

In fact, Gu Xi had already subconsciously decided.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have considered the possibility of transforming the Lamp God’s corpse into a Contracted Undead.

Nonetheless, at this moment, Gu Xi himself was unaware of this and was flipping through the methods in the Book of the Box of Fate.

This time, in order to ensure that the Lamp God’s memory, spirituality, and some vital elements were preserved.

The transformation method into a Contracted Undead required some adjustments.

Gu Xi also needed to invest some materials into the process.

Some of these materials were simple, like various metals, but some were quite troublesome.

Just as Gu Xi was examining these materials, Mido approached him.

”Master, we found this near the devices.”

Upon hearing Mido’s words, Gu Xi raised his head.

He now realized that, while he was contemplating how to handle the Lamp God’s body, his Death Incarnation had already disassembled the piled devices, cutting off the final energy pipeline.

Now Death Incarnation - Death God was dragging a gigantic discarded device towards Gu Xi.
