21st Century Necromancer

Because Kube Rokuro suddenly called, Chen Yu's plan of enjoying a private world with Jounouchi Hiromi undoubtedly went down the drain.

However, Jounouchi Hiromi did not get angry or dissatisfied due to such an incident; instead, she obediently accompanied Chen Yu to meet Kube Rokuro and Misumi Mikoto, accepting their gratitude towards Chen Yu once again.

It was only after hearing Misumi Mikoto's thanks that Jounouchi Hiromi realized that the previously widely discussed MARS virus outbreak had such a close connection with Chen Yu. It could be said that from the discovery of the virus to the unveiling of the truth, Chen Yu played an important guiding role throughout.

Having understood this, Jounouchi Hiromi saw her boyfriend in a new light. Although she already knew Chen Yu was outstanding, she had not anticipated that he could play such a crucial role in such a major event, which made her even more pleased with him.

Which girl wouldn't want her boyfriend to be capable? Perhaps the only thing that troubled Jounouchi Hiromi was that Chen Yu was too capable, making her feel like she might not be able to handle him.

After finishing the meal with Kube Rokuro and Misumi Mikoto, Chen Yu did not continue to enjoy a private world with Jounouchi Hiromi. Instead, he sent Jounouchi Hiromi home, ignoring her disappointed gaze and returning home alone.

It was not that Chen Yu was oblivious to romance, nor that he didn't want to spend time with Jounouchi Hiromi in their private world, but ever since he became a Certified Necromancer, he had spent a lot of energy on healing Inomata Naoki during this period; after healing him, he went with Jounouchi Hiromi to Kamakura, which meant he had no time to research and learn the new knowledge and spells unlocked in the "Multiverse Universal Necromancy Spell Compendium."

For Chen Yu, if he didn't know about the existence of other Transcendents in the world, he wouldn't have felt such urgency to learn new knowledge.

However, after learning from the priest of Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine that not only were there other Transcendents in the world, but even the government had armies composed of them, he felt an indescribable sense of urgency that made him eager to learn new knowledge.

Originally, Chen Yu had planned to send Jounouchi Hiromi home after their dinner together and then return home to study new spells. Although the situation had deviated from his initial estimation, he did not alter his plan and went home as he had arranged.

The "Multiverse Universal Necromancy Spell Compendium" was spread open on the table, with segments of text emerging one after another. Chen Yu flipped through it seemingly aimlessly, yet in reality, it was because the knowledge unlocked from the Eight Great Necromancy Factions was vast, leaving Chen Yu unsure where to start.

"Recommend a spell that is most suitable for me right now." Feeling indecisive, Chen Yu issued a command to the ever-chatty Black Leather Tome, hoping to gain some inspiration.

In response to Chen Yu's request, the Black Leather Tome, which never fails to provide answers as long as the content is within its pages, began turning its leaves. Soon, it revealed a section to Chen Yu that was unexpected.

This section was not about any spell or knowledge from one of the Eight Great Factions; instead, it was related to space.

"Necromantic Space Construction?" Chen Yu read out the title of the section, raising his eyebrows and looking carefully.

"Necromantic Space Construction involves creating an environment rich in Negative Energy, which is essential for a Necromancer.

While places like Heavy Spirit Land or Ancient Battlefields are rare and could be artificially created through sacrifice, they cannot compare to a personalized Necromantic Space carefully crafted by a Necromancer." The pages of the Black Leather Tome turned, displaying the content to Chen Yu while explaining, "By conducting a Spell Ritual to acquire a suitable Space Fragment and marking it with the Necromancer's personal seal, stabilizing the space and then infusing it with Necromantic Power, the entire Space Fragment can be necrotized, preliminarily constructing a personal Necromantic Space."

"What's the use of such a Necromantic Space?" While Chen Yu had some understanding of the significance of owning his Necromantic Space, he still consulted the Black Leather Tome, seeking more information.

"For Necromancers, a Necromantic Space is a safe and hidden domain where one can freely construct a Mage Tower, research necromancy, create an Immortal Legion...

Additionally, a Necromantic Space can produce various resources to support Necromancers, serving as an important logistical base..." Though the Black Leather Tome was often verbose and annoying when it came to explaining certain things, Chen Yu listened patiently this time, carefully noting down the details presented.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Necromantic Space Construction is a concept developed by wise Necromancers of past generations to deal with the issue that Necromancers are not accepted by conventional standards. As the power of a Necromancer increases, the space can even be expanded and elevated into a Semi-plane, forming a Necromancer's own Necromancy Country.

History has seen Necromancers who built their Necromantic Spaces into Divine Kingdoms, achieving Divine Enthronement through them," the Black Leather Tome concluded, enticing Chen Yu with the appealing concept.

"I understand capturing Space Fragments, but how does a Necromancer ensure that the captured Space Fragment will have sufficient output?

I've also looked at the materials on Space Fragments; aren't they supposed to be just a desolate space, or even downright empty?" Chen Yu posed his question, as he had considered turning his Amethyst Skull from the Promotion Ceremony into Spatial Equipment and thus had some knowledge of Space Fragments.

It was rare enough to find a sufficiently large Space Fragment, let alone one that could produce resources. The odds of obtaining such a Space Fragment from countless others were no better than winning the lottery, and it was obviously impossible for all Necromancers to have such good fortune.

The pages of the Black Leather Tome flipped again, displaying the answer Chen Yu needed, "After acquiring a Space Fragment, it can be expanded by merging other Space Fragments, and the Nether Plane can be projected onto the Space Fragment for modification, or even directly tear off a part of the Nether Plane and convert that portion into part of the Space Fragment."
