Asha, the goddess of creation and the mother of time and space, her three sides symbolize destiny, rebirth and death respectively.
Although the necromancers choose Asha as the worshiped god of their religion, their understanding of Asha's power and characteristics is distorted in the eyes of ordinary people, and they worship a variant of Asha's death side.
After the Battle of Creation, the Chaos God Urgath and his daemonic minions were defeated and imprisoned in Hell at the planet's fiery core.
Asha retreated to a safe corner of the moon, where she rested, healed, and dreamed. The moon is the cocoon she weaves around herself and is also the gate to Hades - the place where all Ashan's souls return after death.
The only Namtaru Spider Mother was born from Asha's nightmare at that time, and walked in the world as a divine projection of the goddess's death side.
Now, this powerful divine creature has been sealed in the sarcophagus under the Emerald Ocean Castle for more than a hundred years, and has been gradually forgotten by the people on the Saran continent.
During these hundred years, Anastasia was not wasting away doing nothing.
On the one hand, she is cooperating and contacting the Eternal Queen of the Hasima Empire. On the other hand, she is also continuing to conduct research on the psychic power of the Namtaru Spider Mother, and has now achieved considerable results.
For this unexpected divine creature, Li Ran planned to open a new institution to study it.
Li Ran named this organization "Department of Divine Research and Psychic Technology".
The level of this organization will be the same as that of the Ministry of Magic Science and Technology. Li Ran will equip it with sufficient research mages, experimental materials and scientific research project budgets, and Anastasia will serve as its minister.
The Namtaru Spider Mother is the Starwind Territory's first divine biological sample and research object, but it will never be the last.
Since Forgotten Castle is so important, consolidating the city defense has become an important proposition.
When Anastasia initially agreed to serve as the guide for the Starwind Fleet, she was expected to return soon, so Li Ran only sent two companies of Imperial crossbowmen and fifty griffons to coordinate the defense.
But now that the other party has officially joined the Starwind Territory and will return to the mainland with the fleet in the future, the military strength that has been staying at Forgotten Castle for a long time is somewhat insufficient.
However, after discussing with Anastasia, Li Ran had a new plan on how to strengthen the castle's defenders.
On the sea of death at the end of the world, Li Ran is not alone.
This castle of gods is the biggest surprise.
The gods in the city have built bone tombs, ghost towers, and spider temples to recruit life-spinning spider maidens. The number of creatures that can be recruited has reached the production limit.
Whether it was Li Ran's space ring or the cabin of the Star Wind Fleet, there happened to be a large amount of gold and various resources.
The rest fell into place.
After making the decision, Li Ran and Anastasia returned to the first floor together and climbed up the spiral steps made of bones.
The two walked through the solemn layered castle building and came to an open castle platform.
The recruiting hearts of the Bone Graveyard, Ghost Tower, and Spider Temple are at either end of the platform.
Li Ran walked to the low protective wall at the edge of the platform, and what greeted him was the magnificent scenery of the vast emerald ocean.
It was mid-afternoon, and the orange-yellow sunshine was gently splashing on the sea, melting and blending with every drop of rolling sea water, and being pushed out into waves by the increasing wind.
When the ripples on the sea reach the shore, they turn into strong tides. The sound of the tide hitting the rocks is like thunder, which can be clearly heard even from the high castle.
Li Ran looked down and saw the long coastline of the island beside the rugged rocks and lush woods.
On the beach, the crew, soldiers and research mages of the Starwind Fleet were collecting dry wood and setting up piles of bonfires.
The fresh fish caught during the voyage can finally be roasted over a fire and turned into fragrant and plump white meat.
Paired with the spices brought from the Fengling Plains and the Black Cliff Underground World, these warriors who have traveled across the ocean can finally taste the taste of their hometown at the end of the world.
Open-air bonfire barbecues are very popular among the people of Starwind Territory.
Although this ancient and primitive way of eating seems to be easy to obtain raw materials and relatively simple in flavor now, in the early days of the founding of Starwind Territory, in the dark years when supplies were scarce, enemies were pressing on, and survivors were panicked and helpless, Open-air bonfire barbecue was once a warm memory for many people.
Li Ran couldn't help but have a smile on his face as he watched the soldiers relax and enjoy the food.
Outside the gradually noisy beach is the zigzag and broken coastline of the island. The huge Star Wind Fleet is docked in a natural haven, gently rhythmic with the gentle waves.
The once small Edelweiss was broken again and again, but it stubbornly refused to dissipate. Instead, it grew more and more, and finally gathered into a wild blizzard.
This war-torn fleet set off from the Dragon Calling Fjord in the mountains, and now it finally appears majestic on the deep blue sea at the end of the world.
It is getting late, and the Starwind Fleet will set sail early tomorrow morning to go to Narea, the city of rainbow pearls, to search for the origin of the dragon's blood crystal.
Tonight, Li Ran will complete the defense of Forgotten Castle here.
He walked back to the center of the platform, looked at the Necromancer beside him, and asked:
"Miss Anna, shall we start?"
Anastasia nodded slightly and handed over the recruitment authority of Forgotten Castle to Li Ran.
As Anastasia said, she only joined the Star Wind Territory as a free mage and would not deprive Li Ran of any identity or items.
Li Ran will also adhere to this principle and let Anastasia continue to be the city lord of Forgotten Castle.

City history:
No one knows how this undead castle was built on the Emerald Ocean, and its history has long been forgotten.
Li Ran couldn't help but feel excited after reading the relevant information about the Spider Temple.
This is the first seventh-level championship-level creature recruitment building owned by Starwind Leader, and because of its long history, it can recruit twenty life-spinning spider women at one time!
Although after checking the amount of dragon blood crystals, star silver and other divine resources needed for recruitment, Li Ran couldn't help but feel dazzled.
The price of recruiting all these champion-level creatures is astronomical, and even the financially strong Starwind Leader Treasury cannot afford it.
But this does not prevent Li Ran from thinking about the future.
As long as the origin of the dragon blood crystal is found, Star Wind Territory's economic income will achieve a qualitative leap. By then, summoning all these life-spinning spider women from the cold gods' buildings will not be an unachievable dream.
Now that the champion-level corps formed by the Life-Spinning Spider Women is about to appear, is it still far away from creating your own angel war corps?
Suddenly, Li Ran shook his head vigorously and patted his face to wake himself up.
In order to achieve these goals, we must first truly find and control the origin of dragon blood crystal!
Before that, Li Ran could only look dryly at the 20 life-spinning spider women in the Spider Temple, but couldn't get it.
Instead of daydreaming, it’s better to be down-to-earth and do the things in front of you!
For example...recruit all the 10,000 skeleton soldiers and 7,000 ghosts accumulated in Forgotten Castle.
