How Did I Become the Co-Lord of Soul Beasts?

Lin Yun, floating on the sea's surface, slowly opened his eyes. His brilliant golden pupils reflected the green sun in the sky.

The confusion and haze in his eyes gradually faded away. He pushed himself upright with both hands against the sea.

"Where is this now?"

Wait, why did I say "now" again?

Lin Yun's mind instantly crashed, and he warily glanced around.

"This is your Spirt Sea." An aged voice rang out faintly as a gray bead slowly floated before Lin Yun.

"Oh, so this is my Spirt Sea! Then you are...? Wait, a gray bead!" Lin Yun nodded instinctively, then suddenly widened his eyes when he realized something was wrong. His jaw nearly dropped.

A gray bead in his Spirt Sea, and judging by the voice, it was some Old Deng. Such a familiar scenario, such an intense sense of déjà vu—Lin Yun was no fool. He immediately thought of a certain scientific genius, a great mage.

The Holy Necromancer, Undead Scourge—Electrolux!

The gray bead—Electrolux—was slightly taken aback by Lin Yun's expression and asked in confusion, "You seem to know this old man?"

"No, I merely remembered the last scene before I fainted. Back then, I thought I was hallucinating. I never expected you to actually take up residence in my Spirt Sea." Lin Yun forced himself to remain calm.

He had no desire to reveal that he was a transmigrator, at least not yet.

Although he had seen the Original Work and knew Electrolux was not some heinous villain, but rather a good teacher and friend, their relationship clearly had not reached the point of complete trust.

The gray bead trembled slightly, seemingly nodding. "I see. Speaking of which, this old man was presumptuous. If this wisp of divine consciousness of mine were not at risk of extinguishing at any moment, I would not have resorted to such a desperate measure."

"However, rest assured, sir, this old man will not stay for nothing. I will repay you with something of equal value in the future."

"It's nothing. I'm not that petty." Lin Yun waved a hand, his tone casual.

But that was merely to conceal the excitement in his heart. Among Huo Yuhao's cheats in the Original Work, Electrolux was unquestionably among the top three!

It was only because Huo Yuhao did not know how to use him. Otherwise, the help Electrolux could have provided would definitely have surpassed that rechargeable battery, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm!

Now that this great being had taken up residence in his Spirt Sea, Lin Yun did not even have enough time to be happy. Why would he consider driving him out?

"Do you know how long I was unconscious?" Lin Yun asked.

Although he did not know how long he had been unconscious, Lin Yun knew it could not have been brief. Had he known that fusing with the Golden Dragon King Bloodline would put him into a deep sleep, he should have found somewhere safe before merging with it.

But given the urgency of the situation then, if he had not fused with it, he probably would have died before he could take off and become food for those two soul beasts.

It seemed he had no choice at all!

"Three years," Electrolux answered succinctly.

"?!"

Three years?!

Holy crap, I was unconscious in the Star Dou Great Forest for three years and somehow didn't die or get casually swallowed by a passing soul beast?

Lin Yun was stunned.

He did not even have time to wonder why he had not starved to death after three years without food. Passing out in the Star Dou Great Forest was basically the same as becoming a snack—any soul beast could just stretch out its neck and swallow him.

Electrolux seemingly saw Lin Yun's shock and explained, "Not long after this old man entered your Spirt Sea, a powerful being whose cultivation was close to mine in life took you away. Since that unknown expert traveled through spatial jumps, this old man does not know how far you are from where you originally fainted."

"As for what happened afterward, this old man does not know either. Another, even more powerful existence seemed to have remained near your physical body all along. This wisp of divine consciousness of mine would not dare reveal itself before such a powerhouse."

"..." Lin Yun opened his mouth, then immediately fell into a whirlwind of thoughts.

Electrolux had only used the assessment "close to my cultivation in life" for Mu En, and Mu En was a Rank 99 Limit Douluo, one of the strongest humans in the world.

Anyone who could earn the same assessment from Electrolux would definitely be no weaker than Mu En, perhaps even stronger.

In the Star Dou Great Forest, someone who traveled using the Power of Space, possessed strength equal to or greater than Mu En's, and brought him to the side of an even more powerful existence.

Anyone could figure out what this series of events meant.

"What attribute did the person who took me away have?" Lin Yun finally asked one question. The answer would confirm his suspicions.

"If you asked about anyone else, this old man truly could not be certain. But for that person, this old man can guarantee that he was absolutely of the darkness attribute," Electrolux said with certainty.

"This old man is extremely familiar with both the light and darkness attributes. Moreover, he came into close contact with your body, which was why this old man could sense it!"

Smack—!

Just as expected!

Di Tian had kidnapped him and brought him back to the Star Dou Great Forest!

Lin Yun slapped his forehead and looked up at the sky in disbelief, staring blankly at that green sun.

Electrolux did not know that Lin Yun's mind was in chaos. Thinking that he was curious about the green sun overhead, he continued, "That sun you are looking at is actually Life Gold. It was fused into your body by someone outside."

"Huh?" Lin Yun's mind crashed again.

Life Gold was fused into my body?

Was this a joke?

Life Gold was the lifeblood of the Star Dou Great Forest, used to heal Gu Yuena's injuries. They were actually willing to cut off a piece for him?

"This old man also did not expect to encounter a piece of Life Gold by such coincidence." Electrolux sighed. "When this old man first arrived in this world, this wisp of divine consciousness was already like a candle in the wind. Without this piece of Life Gold, how could I possibly have maintained such clear consciousness?"

"Using the power of this Life Gold, this old man not only stabilized my divine consciousness, but also used the immense life force it contained to transform both your body and spirit, granting you enormous benefits."

"Mm, thank you." Lin Yun nodded.

That fit your character. Other than that group from Star Dou, you were the only great being who understood how to make use of Life Gold.

Awesome!

So now, the question was—

Why had Di Tian and Gu Yuena brought him back to the Core Area of the Star Dou Forest and even used Life Gold on him?

Shouldn't Gu Yuena have simply swallowed him to replenish the Golden Dragon King Bloodline and become the Dragon God once more?

Could it be that they regarded him as the real Golden Dragon King? Had he successfully infiltrated their ranks and become one of them?

Well, damn.

The Co-Lord of Soul Beasts was actually me?
