• Ye Tian asked Electrolux to appear and choose someone else because Li Xin did not want to inherit the necromancer's legacy.

Electrolux agreed, gave Ye Tian the token Eternal Melody, and looked forward to seeing one of them reach the top.

• Electrolux urged Li Xin to accept his inheritance, but she hesitated because the Temple Alliance persecuted necromancers.

• The Undead Skeletons received several auras and charged the group, and Ye Tian killed one with his greatsword.
• Ye Tian explained that each slain skeleton yielded spiritual energy liquid, prompting the girls to fight for the drops while he left them kills to strengthen Cai'er and Lin Jialu.
