Understanding Elder Yi

"More than fifty percent, Elder Yi, the personality you've shown me doesn't reveal you as a bloodthirsty person at all."

Huo Yuhao was mentally prepared, but hearing Electrolux admit in person that he had slaughtered more than half the continent's population was still a bit of a shock.

"Let me tell you the truth! More than fifty percent might be a conservative estimate. The real number is probably far more than you imagine."

"I remember when those two people woke me from my long slumber, the population of the Holy Magic Continent hadn't even recovered to half of what it was in my time, or even less."

"Hiss~."

Electrolux sensed the change in Huo Yuhao's emotions; he had prepared himself for this.

Anyone would change their opinion of someone who had slaughtered nearly an entire continent.

But in his heart, he would inevitably feel some loss.

Electrolux perked up. This was his own sin, and it was only natural for others to have opinions about him.

"So, Yuhao, after hearing my story, are you still willing to accept my inheritance? Do you still think I'm a kind person?"

Huo Yuhao was silent for a moment. "Elder Yi, your act of slaughtering the entire continent for revenge is an unforgivable sin."

"You don't deserve anyone's forgiveness, and similarly, I won't sympathize with you."

"Oh? You won't sympathize with me? Nor will you forgive me? What do you mean by that, Yuhao?" Electrolux asked.

Huo Yuhao's expression was solemn. "You don't deserve to be forgiven because, for the sake of revenge, you nearly slaughtered all the living beings on the continent."

"Your hands are stained with the blood of innocent people, and no one has the right to forgive you on their behalf."

"I don't sympathize with you because I don't think I'm qualified to sympathize with you."

"Elder Yi, to tell you the truth, if everything you experienced happened to me, I would make the same choice without hesitation."

"The hatred of having one's wife stolen and the extermination of one's family are the two greatest shames a man cannot endure!"

"I haven't experienced the same pain as you, and without having experienced the same pain, I don't think I'm qualified to judge you."

"Is that what you mean? This is the first time this old man has heard such a thing."

"If my experiences were put on you, you would make the same choice as me without hesitation."

"Hahaha!"

Electrolux didn't expect that after his death, with only a remnant soul left, he would actually meet someone who could understand him.

"Then... Yuhao, are you willing to accept this old man's last gift? The inheritance of Necromancy?"

The expression on Huo Yuhao's small face was serious. "Teacher, please accept this disciple's bow!"

With that, Huo Yuhao was about to perform a grand apprentice-acceptance ceremony for Electrolux.

Electrolux stopped Huo Yuhao's movements, straightening Huo Yuhao's body.

"There's no need for such a grand ceremony. I'll be content if you're willing to call me Teacher."

"Besides, a sinful person like me, stained with blood, is not worthy of such a grand ceremony."

"Thank you, Yuhao!"

Electrolux sighed inwardly. If he had had a friend like Yuhao by his side back then, perhaps the Plague of Undead could have been prevented.

"Yuhao, now that you've chosen my inheritance, you must remember what I'm about to say."

"First, you can only truly inherit my Necromancy inheritance when you reach the cultivation of a five-ringed Soul Master at least."

"Second, Yuhao, do you still remember the Life Carver that fused into your body?"

"Of course. This second Sea of Consciousness of mine was opened by you using that Life Carver," Huo Yuhao said.

Electrolux nodded. "You remember very clearly. Now I'll tell you that at the moment that Life Carver fused into your body."

"The existence of my wisp of soul here can be considered one of your Martial Souls!"

"I hope you can remember that the power of the Necromancy you inherit later will mainly come from you, not from me."

"Even if I were to manipulate Necromancy now, at most, my control would be a little stronger than yours."

"You can't expect me to unleash the full power of Necromancy for you. That's unrealistic."

"I must also warn you that your body has been nourished by Life Gold."

"Whether it's me, or Big Bug, Little Scorpion, and Little Elf, we'll all have a hard time directly taking over your body."

"This also means that you need to work hard to master your own abilities. You can't rely on us to take over your body and help you fight."

"I understand what you mean, Teacher!" Huo Yuhao said solemnly. "You are all just a part of my body's power."

"If I want to truly unleash the power within my body, I ultimately have to rely on myself."

"I won't rely on you. Don't worry, Teacher."

"However..." Huo Yuhao rubbed his fingers lightly, a smile on his face.

"Teacher, if I encounter an opponent who is too far beyond my level, you'll definitely step in to save your disciple, right!"

"For example, if my cultivation is at the three-ring level, and I encounter a nine-ring expert who wants to kill me."

"You can't just stand by and watch, right!"

Electrolux said, "If he could save you, your Teacher definitely would."

"If he can't, Yuhao, death isn't a particularly painful thing!"

"Hey, Teacher, you can't be like this!" Huo Yuhao's wonderful life hasn't even started yet, and his newly recognized Teacher is already thinking about giving up.

Electrolux looked at Huo Yuhao's expression, "Hahaha, don't be so pessimistic!"

"You are someone with great Fortune, so conventionally speaking, you shouldn't encounter this kind of thing."

"Speaking of cultivation, Yuhao, what level have you reached now?"

Huo Yuhao said, "I'm at level 37 now, belonging to the category of high-level Soul Elder!"

"I see!" Electrolux carefully sized up Huo Yuhao's body, "Next, you need to be mentally prepared."

"What preparation?" Huo Yuhao asked doubtfully.

Electrolux smiled faintly, "That is... your cultivation progress for the next two to three years will be slower than a snail's pace!"

Huo Yuhao's eyes widened, "Teacher, you're not joking with me, are you!"

"I just obtained such a powerful Martial Soul, and you're saying that my cultivation progress will be as slow as a snail's pace. You just accepted me, Teacher!"

Electrolux said, "It's precisely because I accepted you that I'm specifically reminding you."

"You are still young, and your bones haven't fully developed yet."

"Furthermore, you have successively experienced the infusion of the original power of the Big Bug, Little Scorpion, and Little Elf."

Electrolux waved his hand gently in front of him, and a spherical gray object appeared before him.

"If we compare your body to this ball, your current body..."

The gray ball in Electrolux's hand expanded, eventually becoming extremely large.

"Is like this big ball, reaching its limit. You can no longer accept even the slightest bit of external force entering your body."

"If you don't listen to Teacher's advice and eat... even natural treasures that can help you consume energy!"

Bang!

The ball in Electrolux's hand burst, "The fate of this ball will be your fate!"
