Yan Baimei didn't know how to answer without sounding suspicious. As she got tangled in her thoughts, she started imagining the worst situation and could already see herself being purified or something. 'Ah... I am so young... Why do I need to die like this? I just celebrated my 18,406th birthday a few months ago.'

Yasenia patted Taytana's belly gently while hugging her from behind and asked. "Is it really that bad?"

Tatyana laughed. "Not at all. Have I ever said that it was bad? I just summarized the functionality of the structure."

The dragoness sighed with a smile and looked at the Undead. "Well, explain to me why you are building this thing and what effects it will have on the living people."

Yan Baimei saw a ray of light when Yasenia asked. She felt as if she was going to continue to be the good kind of "dead" and not become really dead. 'Ah... My corpse status won't be a confirmed one! What a joy!'

Thinking that Yasenia was her final grasping straw, she quickly explained. "The [Soul Path Conversion Altar] is a structure that can absorb a small part of the energy from the souls of dead people. Then, with that soul power, we can create a new conscious undead. It is a non-confrontational way of making more of ourselves. Moreover, it doesn't hurt the souls! The altar is very gentle, I swear!"

The dragoness hummed and asked. "What about that large land of pure Death Energy that's near Koran City?"

Yasenia remembered the place where she summoned Tatyana long ago was inundated by Death Energy, which could probably become a resource for these Undead.

Yan Baimei nodded. "Our altar will also slowly clear that, since it absorbs Death Energy as well and releases it in a more natural and purified way around it."

A Divine intervened. "Then, wouldn't those mountains become a Death Energy biome?"

Yan Baimei nodded. "That's right. What's wrong?"

The Divine snorted. "What's wrong? What about all the creatures that live there? They will die because of you!"

Yan Baimei was a bit shy with Yasenia and Tatyana because she knew that she was inferior to them, but that didn't mean that she was a pushover.

When the Divine spoke as such, her entire aura became several times colder, and pure and concentrated Death Energy spilled from her. "Divine, I don't poke my finger in whatever you are doing in your territory, right? Why are you in mine? We are going to exchange living creatures for natural unlife. We are not doing anything extreme but creating an environment proper for unlife to thrive. The mountain ranges we chose are almost uninhabited, with one or two trees here and there and a few weak, small animals. By the time we are done with the place, the environment will be thriving with new death-attributed unlife. The surroundings will eventually reach a balance as well, making the place a mix and creating a proper life and unlife cycle."

The Divine was relatively weak compared to Yan Baimei and was suppressed, making him unable to talk back because of the intimidating aura around Yan Baimei.

Selioranis broke the tension and spoke. "No need to get angry. You know that Undead are not well received almost everywhere."

Yan Baimei laughed coldly once. "That's because people like him exist. They don't understand that unlife will appear regardless of whether someone wants to or not. Balance is the most important quality of our universe, and life without death is nothing. Unlife is just a way that nature has managed to adapt to make use of that opposite force to live, yet we are treated like filth and pests everywhere we go."

Selioranis smiled. "If your race didn't try to change everything they touched, then they wouldn't be so hated."

Yan Baimei commented. "Oh, yeah? Then why do living people start purifying our lands of natural Death Energy whenever they arrive?"
