The snow fell heavily on the frozen plains.

Huo Yuhao, with the Ice Snow Empress avatar upon him, entered an inn in Ice Plain City.

After receiving his room key, Huo Yuhao walked into his room.

He dispelled his Martial Soul Avatar and collapsed onto the large bed.

The exhaustion from two consecutive months of integrating Martial Souls struck him at that moment, and Huo Yuhao fell asleep.

"Yuhao, Yuhao."

Someone was calling him? Huo Yuhao groggily opened his eyes.

Observing his surroundings, he realized he seemed to be in a verdant green ocean.

How is this possible? He remembered falling asleep in a hotel room.

"This is your second spiritual sea. I'm the one calling you, Yuhao."

Huo Yuhao heard the familiar voice. It was, "Elder Yi." He softly called out.

"It is I. I sensed your will had finished resting. I apologize for disturbing you, Yuhao."

Huo Yuhao stretched. "It's fine. My spirit told me it was done resting!"

"Right, Elder Yi, why did you suddenly pull me into my second spiritual sea? Is there something you need me for?"

Electrolux nodded. "Yes, Yuhao, I want to talk to you about some things concerning myself."

"Also, I told you before, didn't I? I would pass on my legacy to you."

"If you listen to the story I tell you today and can still accept my legacy..."

"Then I will entrust my final legacy to you."

"If, after hearing my story, you no longer want it, I won't force you!"

Huo Yuhao was confused. Electrolux must be talking about his undead magic legacy!

Why did he need to tell a story first? Huo Yuhao didn't understand but respected him. "Please, Elder Yi."

"Before you begin, let me say this: I don't believe a story could make me abandon your legacy, which is from someone who, though not a god, rivals or even surpasses them."

"After all, we've been together for three years. Elder Yi, you know what kind of person I am."

"It's an idiot who doesn't take advantage of a good deal. Besides, you've been here so long, it's only reasonable for me to charge you rent!"

Huo Yuhao put his hands on his hips, his face full of eagerness for the legacy.

"Hahaha, you sly little thing. You don't even try to hide your emotions." Electrolux's voice, tinged with helplessness and affection, sounded out.

In truth, when they first met, Electrolux had thought Huo Yuhao was a kind-hearted, simple, and quiet good kid.

But after three years of getting along, as their relationship grew closer.

Huo Yuhao slowly revealed his other side to Electrolux.

He would strive with all his might for what he wanted and desperately pursue his goals.

Overall, as long as Huo Yuhao's interests weren't touched, his personality was quite good.

To Electrolux, Huo Yuhao's willingness to openly show him his other side, allowing Electrolux to see the real him.

Electrolux was quite gratified. This was also why he was willing to pass on his legacy to Huo Yuhao after learning his true personality.

He chose to pass on the legacy today because Huo Yuhao had displayed astonishing willpower during this extreme integration.

Electrolux felt that Huo Yuhao now possessed the state of mind to accept his legacy.

"Yuhao, I quite like this frankness of yours."

"By the way, Yuhao, we've known each other for three years. What's your impression of me?"

Huo Yuhao thought for a moment. "Mysterious, powerful, and occasionally likes to preach some grand principles, though I always let them go in one ear and out the other!"

"Also, you're omnipotent, like my Uncle Mo, a kind old man who took care of me."

Electrolux chuckled at this. "Kind? I never thought I'd hear the word 'kind' from a junior one day."

"Yuhao, thanks to the Power of Destiny and the Golden Body of Living Beings within you, my memories have largely recovered about ninety percent."

"I hope that after you hear the story of my life that I'm about to tell you, you can still say those words to me – 'kind'!"

"Let me think. Where should I begin?"

Electrolux pondered for a moment. "Right. I'll start by telling you where I came from!"

"Yuhao, judging by the aura I exude, you should know I'm not from your plane!"

Huo Yuhao didn't deny it. Electrolux truly didn't fit in on the Douluo Continent.

Seeing Electrolux in a state of reminiscence, Huo Yuhao wondered if Elder Yi had become lost in his own world.

Huo Yuhao felt like he was talking to him, yet also like he was muttering to himself.

"The place I came from is called the Holy Magic Continent."

"Unlike you who cultivate Soul Power, where I come from, we mainly cultivate magic!"

"Light Magic, Earth Magic, Fire Magic... they're very similar to the elemental attributes you speak of on the Douluo Continent."

Electrolux's voice carried a hint of reminiscence, "I even remember the name of the city I was born in, it was called Xidi!"

"My father was the master of that city, and I was his only son!"

"Just like you, I was born a noble, but I was different from you; I was my father's only son!"

"I had no siblings above me, and from the moment I was born, I was the future heir to a city."

Huo Yuhao asked with uncertainty, "Elder Yi, are you showing off to me?"

Electrolux burst into laughter, "I wouldn't say I'm showing off! I just want you to hear more of my story."

Huo Yuhao could only mentally type out six "6"s in response.

Electrolux said, "Alright, Yuhao, I was just joking with you. Please continue listening!"

"Just like when you were six years old and awakened your Martial Soul with Innate Full Soul Power."

"When I was six, I also awakened the top magical talent of my homeland, the Child of Light."

"I also vividly remember my father happily holding me that day and telling me I was his greatest pride in life."

"In fact, I later became his greatest pride!" Electrolux's voice was almost overflowing with excitement as he said this.

Seeing Electrolux like this, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but ask.

"Then Elder Yi, your father loved you very much, didn't he!"

Electrolux's tone held a hint of shyness, "His love for me was boundless!"

"Let's get back to the main topic. After I displayed my astonishing talent at the age of six."

"My life was, as you put it, using some new terms I can understand, yes, 'cheating'!"

"As for how far I went, by the time I was 15, I was the youngest Sixth-rank Mage on the continent!"

"When I achieved this feat, my father took me to participate in..."

"The Battle of Geniuses, held by the Glorious Papacy, the power that dominated the Holy Magic Continent at the time, an event only young people under 20 could participate in."

"In that Battle of Geniuses, I met the love of my life, and also the person I would later hate immensely!"
