Elder Yi's Story

"Her name was Floro, and she was a princess of an empire!" The moment Electrolux mentioned her name, his voice turned icy cold.

Perhaps afraid of frightening the younger generation present, Electrolux quickly suppressed his emotions.

"Sorry, Yuhao. I couldn't control my emotions. Can you keep listening?"

Huo Yuhao nodded. "Of course, Elder Yi. I'm not going to be scared off by something like this!"

Only then did Electrolux continue. "I met that wretched woman because of this competition."

"Geniuses always admired one another, so she and I quickly fell in love."

"That period was probably the most triumphant time of my life."

"I won the Battle of Geniuses and proved through my actions that I was the greatest among the younger generation on the continent."

"Even the Pope's own son—the son of the Glorious Papacy, which ruled the continent at the time—paled in comparison to me!"

"My name, Electrolux, resounded across the entire continent!"

"In a person's life, the things they most desire are power, fame, and wealth. By the time I was sixteen, I had acquired them all."

"Can you understand how I felt back then? I had everything!" Electrolux's voice was filled with pride.

Huo Yuhao listened intently. From Electrolux's description, he could even imagine how triumphant Electrolux had been back then.

Just as his name had spread across the continent, he had met the woman he loved.

As Huo Yuhao listened, two lines of poetry suddenly came to mind: "When one's name is inscribed on the golden list, and on one's wedding night."

Those lines fit Electrolux's circumstances perfectly.

His reputation, strength, and status had all reached incredible heights, and he had met the person he wanted to spend his life with.

Huo Yuhao couldn't imagine just how happy Electrolux had been.

Electrolux sensed Huo Yuhao's feelings and lifted his head slightly.

"Let's continue, Yuhao!"

"As the saying goes, fortune may hide misfortune. The peak and the trough of life are often separated by only a moment!"

"When I was twenty, I reached the Eighth Order. So much happened then!"

"At the time, I wanted to marry Floro as soon as possible and become a Ninth Order powerhouse standing at the pinnacle of the continent."

"Following my teacher's advice, I decided to go out and gain experience."

"That journey became the turning point of my life!" Electrolux's voice brimmed with pain and hatred.

"Sorry, Yuhao. I couldn't control my emotions again."

Before transmigrating, Huo Yuhao had specifically read about Electrolux in certain books. He could understand him.

"It's all right, Elder Yi. Don't worry about me. Just tell me everything."

"Mm!" Electrolux replied, reminding himself not to lose control in front of the younger generation again.

"To gain experience, I left the imperial capital where I lived and traveled across the Holy Magic Continent."

"I spent two years traveling the continent. During those two years, both my knowledge and my cultivation improved noticeably."

"On one of my journeys, I even obtained a powerful technique."

"By the time I returned to the imperial capital, I had reached Peak Eighth Order, only one step away from Ninth Order."

"I still remember hugging that wretched woman and crying with joy. I was about to become worthy of marrying her."

"I even told that wretched woman about the powerful technique I'd obtained!"

"But that wretched woman had a huge surprise in store for me."

"Do you know, Yuhao? After that, the two things men hate most happened to me at the same time!"

"Floro, that venomous wretch, and that bastard from the Glorious Papacy had set a trap for me long ago!"

"There's something I forgot to tell you, Yuhao. Back then, I rejected the Pope's request to take me as his disciple."

"Do you know the main reason? I loved my country and that wretched woman!"

"But in the end, both became blades that pierced my heart."

Electrolux gritted his teeth, his hatred almost tangible.

"Yuhao, do you know how they schemed against me?"

"First, that bastard from the Glorious Papacy—the Pope—sent his son to seduce Floro and lure me into the Papacy. When that failed, he joined forces with the empire I believed in to wipe me out."

"In the end, the Glorious Papacy's scheme succeeded!"

"Floro was seduced. And because I had a powerful technique she wanted to cultivate but refused to give her, while the Glorious Papacy was willing to help my empire unify the continent..."

"My beloved and the empire I believed in both betrayed me!"

"Floro deliberately invited me out for a day of fun, setting a trap to kill me. At the end of the battle, that wretched woman even stabbed me through the right side of my chest."

"If my body hadn't been unusual, with my heart naturally on the left, that blow would have killed me for sure."

"By the way, Yuhao, do you know how I found out about their plot?"

"I overheard Floro and her lover talking in Floro's bedchamber."

"Hahaha! Do you know what happened, Yuhao? After they finished planning how to kill me, they went off to bed together!"

"How could a man bear such humiliation? I attacked them on the spot!"

"But unfortunately, just when I had the chance to kill that wretched woman, I hesitated!"

"As a result, they slaughtered my entire family!"

"Yuhao, do you know? They knew I was still in the city, yet they brazenly announced that my family would be executed."

"I watched with my own eyes as they brutally executed my loving parents, my brothers and sisters, and all my relatives!"

"Even worse, they didn't spare the young children, who barely understood anything."

"At that moment, my faith in the Light, the country I loved, and the woman I loved all came crashing down in my heart."

"I had only one thought left: find those bastards and take revenge!"

"To gain the power I needed for revenge, I began cultivating that powerful spell."

"But for some reason, the divination technique I had expected changed. It became the legacy of an ancient Necromancer."

"I combined my Light Power with the power of the undead, and that's what made me who I am now."

"Electrolux, the Plague of Undead!"

"I led my first Undead Legion, killing everyone I saw and slaughtering every village I came across."

"Bit by bit, I gathered a powerful Undead Legion."

"The empire that had abandoned me was utterly destroyed beneath my undead army's trampling."

"After destroying the empire I no longer cared for, I led my army against the Glorious Papacy. I was going to avenge my family once and for all!"

"But the Glorious Papacy was still formidable. It joined forces with the remaining two empires."

"In the final battle, they defeated me and my Undead Legion."

"Though I lost, the human coalition also paid a terrible price."

"I personally sent all three of my greatest enemies—the Pope, his son, and Floro—to hell!"

"The continent's population also fell by at least half."

"Now that you've heard my story, Yuhao, are you still willing to accept my legacy?"
