“How can you prove that you have the capacity to cooperate?” In the House of the Deceased, Gust left a message in a corner as agreed.
Before long, he returned there and discovered the message had been changed to, “Is sabotaging the Wind and Tide System of the Starburst Array considered a capability?”
The primary function of the Wind and Tide System is to enable air circulation within the entire Starburst Array; if air cannot flow in a certain area, any creature that requires breathing would not be able to survive there.
The God of Life had mentioned before that the Starburst Array was malfunctioning, but could not specify where.
After Anthony became acquainted with Cabrela, he gathered some crucial information from the sidelines and, connecting it to what the God of Life had said, deduced that there was a problem with the Wind and Tide System.
This issue could be either minor or major. The Starburst Array, suspended in the sky, inherently contains no air, thus they possess the ability to ‘produce’ air. However, to make this air flow, the Wind and Tide System is needed.
Unlike on the ground, where air circulates freely and uniformly in every corner.
The Starburst Array can be considered a combination of numerous caves, each region’s air is uneven, and convection is very slow, needing the Wind and Tide to quickly disperse it to every corner.
When discussing this topic, Cabrela said, “Some seeds, somehow brought in, have sprouted in the ventilation ducts, blocking some of the Tide Arrays.”
Well then, it appears the God of Life was the one who tampered with their system.
“Really?” the God of Life scratched his head. “I just looked for some hidden corners to sprout in, those round, ventilated ducts are the most concealed.”
Other things are hard to verify, but the damage to the Wind and Tide is easy to confirm. With so many creatures on the Starburst Array, it’s always possible to infiltrate a few spies loyal to the Undead Empire.
They managed to contact a spy on the Starburst Array, who confirmed that parts of the Wind and Tide Array were indeed damaged.
“Very well, you indeed have the strength. How shall we cooperate?” Gust left a message.
“First we must do this, then that, and again this.”
Gust quickly received a detailed plan (part one), listing what they now needed to do, such as identifying friends from foes, strengthening mutual trust, coordinating in a play, etc., then he asked:
“Do you have any political enemies or rivals you need eliminated? If so, I can take them out for you. Then you use that as an excuse to retaliate against us and help me eliminate my own political enemies. We’ll sign a pact, essentially giving a handle to each other. Should this get out, we’re both doomed. Do you have any?”
Gust was stunned after reading it, then somewhat tempted, but quickly dismissed the thought. He didn’t fully trust them yet, this could wait for later.
Looking at the entire plan, its feasibility was very high, and it didn’t require a preliminary investment from Gust’s side, only needing their follow-up when it was time to see profits.
This was practically like doing business without any capital, and all he needed to do, was issue an order allowing the release of detained Church of Light members of the Undead Empire’s departments whenever someone came with the corresponding mark.

Over the years, the Undead Empire had captured many members of the Church of Light, including gods, priests, saintesses, and believers; they were mostly meant to be kept until death, since His Majesty disliked killing.
Bada, how did such an eccentricity develop? If Undead do not kill, can they still be called Undead? Taking advantage of His Majesty’s absence, Gust couldn’t help but mutter a critique.
Fewer killings, more imprisonments; well, just imprison them until death then. Around the world, the Undead Empire had established various Prisons of Death, incarcerating countless members of the Church of Light.
Those who were alive were locked up, and those who died were dragged out and transmigrated publicly to show the living, not just killing the body but also crushing the spirit. At such times, the faith of the Followers of Light often collapsed.
Well then, Gust wondered if the other party was trying to cheat their way to freeing a death row inmate—could there be someone particularly valuable inside?
“Heh, thinking of saving the Monarch without offering anything in return—have you been asleep so long that your soul has grown numb and unresponsive? What value could match a millionth part of the Undead King? Even if there were ten million people in prison, would you release them all to save your king?”
“Uh, yes, willing, willing.” After being scolded in the reply, Gust felt relieved by the realization that releasing all the Light prisoners didn’t matter in comparison to His Majesty—inside, the most valuable were just a few fanatic ascetic monks, hardly worth mentioning.
“Before any new changes occur, you can take five people,” Gust replied.
“A new change? What if we destroy the seed of the Heaven-Reaching Divine Tree? Would that count?”
Gust was shocked and immediately replied, “If you can destroy the seed of the Heaven-Reaching Divine Tree, you can take twenty people.”
“Alright, you wait.”
Two days later, news from the spy came that the seed of the Heaven-Reaching Divine Tree had blossomed unexpectedly but had withered right away.
“Really destroyed? How did they manage that?” Gust was full of doubts but still honored his promise, issuing the order to take twenty people from the Prison of Death.
The commands of the Undead Empire were transmitted efficiently, whether through a Relay Spirit, Soul Contact, or even a Teleportation Array. A small burst of Soul Flame Glow could carry a massive amount of information.
