The scene above the Sky Curtain did not stop because of everyone's shock.
Rows of dazzling golden characters gradually appeared.
[At the same time, she successfully became the disciple of a demigod-level powerhouse from another world, Electrolux, the Holy Necromancer. She obtained all of his legacy, laying a solid foundation for the Spirit Soul System she would establish later.]
"With the sun and moon in my grasp and the stars at my fingertips, none in this world can compare to me!"
As this boastful introduction rang out,
a phantom figure appeared out of thin air.
Even though his features were indistinct, the figure radiated an oppressive presence, as if he looked down upon all living things.
What surrounded him wasn't Soul Power, but a more fundamental force, as though every wisp of gray light spoke of the desolation of time.
He was an Elder clad in a gorgeous black robe.
Golden runes glittered across the black robe.
Over it, he wore a large white cloak, which stood in stark contrast to the black robe beneath. Its hood was drawn over his head.
In his right hand, he held a staff that stood two meters taller than he was. The staff was composed of three colors: black, white, and gold.
These three colors represented three kinds of power.
At the top of the staff sat a massive crystal carved into the shape of a skull. It was white all over.
Standing before the gray-robed Elder were a boy and a girl.
They were none other than Gu Tian and Huo Yutong.
"I never expected that a remnant of my soul would still remain in this world."
The gray-robed Elder surveyed this new world before finally fixing his gaze on Gu Bai. "I've never heard of Light Power of this caliber!"
"It reminds me of a time so long ago that I've lost count of the years."
"I once believed in the light, too. I was a Child of Light, but unfortunately..."
At that, the gray-robed Elder sighed faintly. "Never mind. The past has faded into the clouds, and I've already found the answers I sought from them."
"Senior, you're not from this world, are you?"
Gu Tian looked at the gray-robed Elder, his eyes glinting with curiosity as he spoke.
"That's right. My name is Electrolux. I came from another world. I died long ago, and only a wisp of my consciousness remains."
The gray-robed Elder gazed gently at Huo Yutong. "By chance, I came here and was drawn to this child. I've been clinging to life within her Sea of Consciousness."
The little girl he'd formed a connection with reminded Electrolux of the disciple he had taken in during the final moments of his life.
"Thank you for helping me. Otherwise, I don't know when I would have recovered my memories."
Electrolux turned his gaze back to Gu Tian.
To revive Long Haochen, Electrolux had condensed all the Light Power of his life into an Eternal Heart. He had exhausted all his energy and life force, and his soul had dissipated as well.
But Electrolux had been a demigod who stood just one step away from becoming a Deity.
Even so, he hadn't died completely.
His consciousness had split into countless fragments that drifted through various times and spaces.
The price was that he had lost all his memories of the past.
Although the appearance of the Sky Curtain had shown the people of the continent Tang San's true nature, leaving them gradually numb to such revelations,
the news that a demigod had come from another world still came as a considerable shock.
After all, as far as they knew, the only world beyond their own was the legendary Divine Realm.
Evil Soul Forest.
Zhongli Wu stared at the gray-robed Elder onscreen, his eyes filled with an almost crazed longing.
"Necromancy—a demigod from another world!"
Zhongli Wu swallowed hard, a hoarse sound rising from his throat.
The name alone made it clear: necromancy was magic that toyed with souls.
And it had made Electrolux a demigod who had crossed between worlds and whose remnant soul still endured.
To the Holy Spirit Cult, this was an unimaginable treasure.
If they could bring this power under their control, perhaps they would have a chance to stand against that suit of Golden Armor.
Clearly, Zhongli Wu overestimated himself and underestimated the strength of the Ultimate Emperor Armor.
"Everyone, listen up! Bring back that Daughter of Destiny named Huo Yutong, no matter the cost!"
Zhongli Wu immediately gave the order, his voice fervent. "She is the Holy Maiden of our Holy Spirit Cult, and the future hope of our cult!"
"Yes, Cult Master."
The members of the Holy Spirit Cult present answered in unison.
Greed showed in their eyes as well.
They hoped to use Huo Yutong, a Child of Destiny, to obtain the terrifying power from another world.
And so, besides the Body Sect, another group had set its sights on Huo Yutong.
The Sky Curtain continued to show the scene.
"My one regret was that I failed to pass on my necromancy."
"If you're willing, I can pass on everything I learned in my life. It is a power that exists beyond life and death."
"In my world, this power is considered synonymous with Evil."
Electrolux let out a quiet sigh and spoke calmly to the two before him. "You'd better think carefully before deciding whether to accept."
Sheng Cai'er had inherited the purest Death Power, which he had gathered over the thousands of years he'd been asleep.
Long Haochen, meanwhile, had inherited the Eternal Heart, formed from the purest Light Power after he had separated out every element of light.
Only the most central power of his life—necromancy—had not been passed on.
Both Sheng Cai'er and Long Haochen had refused the legacy, guided by their own convictions.
From his observations over this period, the two before him were ideal candidates, both in temperament and talent.
"Senior Electrolux, you know I'm not suited to inherit that power."
Gu Tian shook his head without hesitation and refused.
"What about you, little girl?"
Electrolux's expression remained calm, as if he had expected this. He immediately turned to Huo Yutong and asked.
"..."
Unlike Gu Tian, who had refused decisively, Huo Yutong looked conflicted.
It was true that Huo Yutong had obtained a Million Year Soul Ring, but she was still weak. She could hardly keep up with his pace.
Yet the name necromancy sounded like the power of an Evil Soul Master.
At that thought, Huo Yutong instinctively looked at Gu Tian.
"Power isn't good or evil. It depends on the person who uses it."
"Besides, aren't you and Senior Electrolux already bound by fate?"
As if he had seen what worried Huo Yutong, Gu Tian smiled and said, "Perhaps you were destined to become master and disciple."
He didn't say it outright, but his meaning was clear.
"Teacher, please guide me from now on!"
Hearing that, Huo Yutong finally made up her mind and bowed slightly to Electrolux.
"Very good."
Only then did a faint smile appear on Electrolux's utterly serene, aged face.
The scene came to a halt at that moment.
