Electrolux, the Necromancer Beyond Life and Death

Zi Yao withdrew his Soul Rings and said calmly,

"You weren't mistaken. My second Soul Ring came from Origin Power bestowed by a Deity. Even with your powerful Spiritual Power, you cannot see through it completely."

A Soul Ring formed from Origin Power bestowed by a Deity?

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm felt ashamed.

In Zi Yao's words, those unreachable Deities seemed hardly worth mentioning. It tried to cup its tiny forelegs together and asked,

"May I ask what your background is, big brother?"

"I can only tell you that the God Realm you yearn for is merely my Qidian."

Zi Yao replied with a faint smile.

"Big brother, please take me with you."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's fat body trembled vividly. Its countless little legs slid about, and its mung-bean-sized eyes were incomparably sincere, as though it were one step away from kneeling and declaring that it had drifted through half its life without ever meeting a worthy master.

"Easy enough. Fifty percent of your Spiritual Origin."

Zi Yao said with his arms crossed.

"Fine. Open up your Sea of Consciousness, and I'll give you fifty percent of my Origin Power."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sighed.

It was meat on the chopping block now and had no right to choose.

"You'd better not try anything clever. If anything happens to Xiao Yao, I'll freeze you into chunks and toss you into the icy sea to feed the fish." Ice Empress warned cautiously.

"Don't worry. My will to survive is stronger than anyone's. I won't seek my own death."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm closed its eyes and brought forth its Spiritual Origin. Snow-white Spiritual Power condensed into a crystalline, simulated form that emerged from its forehead, radiating an overwhelmingly powerful aura capable of shaking heaven and earth.

It painfully extracted half of it, then placed nine specialized seals upon it to reinforce it within Zi Yao's Sea of Consciousness.

Once everything was done,

it said weakly, "All right, everything is ready. Come to think of it, you really are peculiar. You clearly aren't a Mental System Soul Master, yet you can perfectly bear my Spiritual Power. I even blew up a Titled Douluo before."

Zi Yao was unconcerned.

His Martial Soul was a fragment of Creation Force. Logically speaking, it should be able to accommodate any attribute acquired later.

Although he had not obtained all of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Spiritual Power,

fifty percent of its sealed divine consciousness was enough for him at present.

If he wanted to further increase his Spiritual Power later, the immortal herbs of the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Well and the Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign would both be good options.

"All right, Ice Sister, let him out."

Zi Yao said to Ice Empress.

"I've already given you my Origin. You should tell me about this so-called path to godhood now, shouldn't you?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm twisted its body and asked expectantly.

"Simple. Follow this road straight ahead. When you meet an eleven- or twelve-year-old Blue-Haired Boy, sacrifice yourself to him, and your ascension to godhood will be guaranteed."

Zi Yao casually pointed in a direction.

With the fortune of the plane at work, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm would run into Huo Yuhao no matter where it went.

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple."

Zi Yao nodded.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm wanted to say more, but it remembered that it was no longer useful to Zi Yao. Who knew whether the other party might suddenly turn on it and kill it? It could only steel itself and treat a dead horse as though it were alive.

"What a pity. I only got half of its Spiritual Origin, but it's still not bad. That useless thing may be worthless in a fight, but it's still a Million-Year Soul Beast. Even half its Spiritual Origin is terrifying."

Ice Empress walked over and asked, "Are we returning to Earth Dragon Gate? I should continue my seclusion too. With so much Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, it should be enough for me to advance to five hundred thousand years."

Her tone was filled with anticipation.

A Five-Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast belonged among the continent's Peerless Fierce Beasts. Only the continent's top five Beasts possessed that level of strength.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had spent who knew how many tens of thousands of years digesting the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow from a Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Cave because it was too weak. Every bite required it to sleep for years afterward.

But for Ice Empress and Snow Empress, both of whom were Beasts,

even if absorbing the energy in seclusion took some time, it would not take too long. It would not be so long that Zi Yao would already have ascended to godhood by the time they emerged from absorbing the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow.

"Don't rush, Ice Sister. I still have something to do."

Zi Yao interrupted.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was only one of his goals this time. There was another opportunity he needed to obtain even more, one that was also the key to Huo Yuhao establishing the Soul Spirit System.

That was right: the Necromancer—Electrolux.

As the Son of Light from another plane, Electrolux had personally rejected an invitation to become a god. Whether in talent or strength, he stood at the very pinnacle beneath the God Realm.

Zi Yao was also very interested in him.

Even if Electrolux could not reach the level of a God King after becoming a god, the sheer talent that had allowed him to create the art of necromancy was enough to prove his potential. At the very least, he could grow into a second Rong Nianbing.

But Zi Yao was uncertain.

Had Electrolux been personally stuffed into Huo Yuhao's head by the plane, or had he merely been sent to Huo Yuhao's side and allowed to choose freely?

If it was the latter,

Zi Yao was fully confident that Electrolux's remnant soul would choose him first. After all, his Life Origin could repair and stabilize a remnant soul, so it should logically have greater influence.

He currently possessed the Origins of Life and Destruction—the Power of Life and Death.

Thus, the undead beyond life and death were naturally indispensable.

Meanwhile,

after racing for a long time, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm felt uneasy.

Already lacking Heaven and Earth Origin Energy to sustain it, it had also been forced to divide off half its Spiritual Origin. Its body had gradually become transparent.

Where is this human boy? Could that guy have tricked me...?

Just as it was trembling with fear,

it passed through a patch of grass and found a Blue-Haired Boy drenched in cold sweat, leaning against a tree. He held an exquisite dagger that gleamed with chilling light, while beside him lay a ten-year Wind Baboon that had nearly accomplished godslaying.

A human boy, eleven or twelve years old, blue hair...

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm compared the details in its mind and found that every one of them matched. It was instantly overjoyed.

"I've finally found you, boy—the one who can lead me down the path to godhood!"

"A-a talking bug!"

Huo Yuhao stammered, instinctively tightening his grip on the White Tiger Dagger.

What kind of Soul Beast is this?

Oh no, oh no. With such a huge body, it must be at least a hundred-year Soul Beast, right? Can I possibly defeat it?

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I bear you no ill will. I only want to give you a Million-Year Soul Ring, then have you lead me down the broad road to godhood!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's impassioned voice rang out in Huo Yuhao's mind.

A Million-Year Soul Ring?

What kind of joke is this? Does such a Soul Beast even exist in this world?

Huo Yuhao was uneasy.

And this talk of having him lead someone to godhood—he simply could not understand it at all!

Yet faintly, he also felt that the Soul Beast before him seemed to harbor no ill will.

Of course, even if it did, there was nothing he could do. A silkworm this huge could crush him to death just by pressing down on him.

But Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's expression suddenly turned ugly. It asked suspiciously, "Let me ask in advance: you didn't hide your Soul Power Level from me, did you?"

"No." Huo Yuhao shook his head.

"You crooked merchant! You robber! You took half of my Life Origin and only found me an eleven-year-old at level ten? He's even more useless than I am!"

It felt as though Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's heart were bleeding.
