Long Xingyu led Long Haochen and stepped into the Tower of Eternity.
Although the Tower of Eternity did not look large from the outside, its interior was anything but small. The moment they entered, they saw forty-eight towering pillars, each dozens of zhang high, standing within.
The pressure here was also terrifying. Though the elemental energy was abundant, it made one's heart tremble uncontrollably.
It had no effect on Long Xingyu, but Long Haochen was trembling all over. He looked at everything before him with fear, not knowing what to say.
He had wanted to ask Long Xingyu something.
But suddenly, a sound erupted from above. It was an ancient voice, yet it carried a majestic presence as it spread in every direction.
It entered the minds of both father and son, allowing them to understand its meaning.
"Welcome to Eternal Slumber!"
The moment those words rang out, Long Haochen was startled. He looked toward Long Xingyu. No matter how he might one day gallop across the world, he was still only a ten-year-old child.
"Haochen, don't be afraid. Listen carefully. This is your opportunity," Long Xingyu explained upon seeing his reaction.
"Okay, Dad." Hearing Long Xingyu's words, Long Haochen gathered his courage again. Since Long Xingyu was so certain, how could he possibly doubt him?
He immediately looked back toward the sky.
At that moment, the voice continued:
"The Tower of Eternity is the crystallization of my thousand years of wisdom. So long as you press onward and pass every trial, when you finally reach the summit—
"You will completely inherit my legacy. The undead shall return to the human world, and those hypocrites of the Radiant Holy See shall slumber in death."
The voice was immensely bewitching, and Long Haochen was immediately drawn into its story, sensing its meaning.
But Long Xingyu had no such thoughts.
He had no interest in Electrolux's past, because he already knew it.
At that moment, he narrowed his eyes slightly and probed his surroundings. In an instant, his spiritual power covered the entire first floor of the Tower of Eternity, as though searching for something.
However, after a moment, Long Xingyu ended his search.
He returned to his normal state.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
Looks like he really isn't on the first floor.
That voice truly was a message he left behind in the past, not something spoken live.
The instant that voice appeared, Long Xingyu had begun searching the entire first floor, intending to find Electrolux's trace. The situation was obvious: Electrolux was not there.
According to Long Xingyu's memories, Electrolux should currently be sleeping on the seventh floor of the Tower of Eternity, constantly waiting for someone to pass the tests, reach the seventh floor, find him, and inherit his legacy.
Earlier, Long Xingyu had also looked toward the stairs leading to the second floor. He had initially intended to investigate, but stopped at the crucial moment because he sensed a consciousness within the staircase. It seemed to be the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Eternity.
At that point, Long Xingyu understood that using his spiritual power to investigate the first floor was not much of a problem. As for the second floor, he would have to wait until they began clearing the trials.
Therefore, he did not choose to forcefully investigate. Though the Tower of Eternity was a Super Divine Artifact and its Artifact Spirit was immensely terrifying, Long Xingyu was not afraid. But with Long Haochen here, it was better to proceed cautiously.
As Long Xingyu pondered, two peculiar rays of light descended beside him and fell upon both him and Long Haochen.
Electrolux's voice continued.
"Now then, let me test what attribute of necromancer you are, and see whether you are suited to inherit my legacy!"
Upon hearing this, Long Haochen emerged from his previous entranced state. He stared at everything before him in shock, his eyes filled with astonishment.
In his understanding, necromancers were dark professions, and dark professions absolutely loathed the light.
Both he and his father were knights who cultivated the light. Furthermore, he possessed the pinnacle of the Light Attribute, the Son of Light. This necromancer would definitely not allow them to leave safely!
Thinking of this, Long Haochen became extremely anxious.
He hurriedly looked toward Long Xingyu and said, "Dad, we can't let our attributes be exposed. How about we—"
He wanted to leave immediately and return only after gaining sufficient strength to investigate this place.
After all, this was an existence even his father, Long Xingyu, called a legend. He was surely a legendary powerhouse from ancient times, and his strength was anything but simple—perhaps even greater than Long Xingyu's.
If Long Xingyu had been here alone, it would have been manageable. But with him, a third-step knight and deadweight, added to the mix, who knew what might—
"Relax, Haochen. Accept the test carefully. Nothing will happen." Long Xingyu patted Long Haochen's shoulder, telling him to calm down.
What a joke. If Electrolux discovered Long Haochen's Son of Light attribute, he would not even have enough time to fawn over him. How could he possibly target him?
Long Haochen was still uneasy, but because Long Xingyu had said so, he gradually calmed down.
He did not struggle any further.
Very soon, layers upon layers of terrifying grayish-white light descended upon him. In an instant, Long Haochen felt the spiritual power in his body continuously expand. His entire body felt warm, as though he had entered some extraordinary state.
Long Xingyu was also shrouded in grayish-white light. It was exceptionally pure undead power, capable of probing everything.
However, Long Xingyu's aura was far too powerful. Those traces of energy had no possibility of investigating him.
So this is Electrolux's undead power? Feeling that necromantic energy, Long Xingyu was somewhat curious and examined it briefly.
This aura is quite unusual.
And unlike the testing devices of the Knight Temple, it can not only test Innate Inner Spiritual Power, but also detect unusual abilities within the body, as well as powerful equipment.
In only an instant, Long Xingyu had gained a certain grasp and understanding of Electrolux's undead power.
He immediately understood its specific purpose.
He knew that the results of this test would be directly conveyed to Electrolux.
I wonder how this Necromancer Saint Mage from ten thousand years ago will react when he discovers my triple cultivation speed and Divine Seal Throne?
If Long Xingyu only possessed seventy-eight points of Innate Inner Spiritual Power, there would not have been much to say.
But—
At present, he also possessed the triple cultivation speed and unrestricted breakthroughs granted by the system.
As well as something Electrolux had never seen before.
Doom! The Divine Seal Throne of the God of Slaughter!
