You Have a Death Wish!

Ao Yao glanced back at Ning Tian and Wu Feng. Seeing that they had merely been frozen in place and suffered no other harm, he finally relaxed, then turned back and looked at Huo Yuhao with anticipation.

Next came Electrolux's arrival...

But Ao Yao suddenly felt a little regretful.

I should've snatched up Sky Dream Ice Silkworm too.

What if I'd gained this time-stopping ability after stealing him?

Then the whole mood could've shifted, and things could've gone straight into steamy territory... Wouldn't that have been wonderful?

No.

Electrolux's Divine Sense Fragment was about to arrive. What was he thinking, with all these ridiculous ideas?!

If he stole Electrolux, Tang San might not notice anything amiss with the help of the obscured heavenly secrets. But if Sky Dream Ice Silkworm disappeared, that guy Tang San would definitely find out.

There was no need to invite trouble for an ability he almost certainly couldn't get anyway.

Mm, that's right. Exactly.

"Boom—"

A deafening rumble like a sudden clap of thunder rang out from the sky. In the blink of an eye, the clear blue sky darkened abruptly, plunging the entire world into shadow.

Then, an immense pressure descended from above, so overwhelming that it was impossible to breathe. Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, whose fusion with Huo Yuhao was nearly complete, trembled violently. His tiny eyes darted around, and a look of shock appeared in their depths.

Di Tian, hidden in the shadows, also stared solemnly toward the horizon.

There was no mistaking this terrifying pressure!

It was Divine Might!

Though it didn't seem particularly strong, it was still Divine Might!

Damn it, was I wrong again?

The one my lord told me to watch wasn't that human, but this Divine Might?

Should I make a move... or obey my lord and stay out of it, no matter what happens?

Who does this mysterious Divine Might belong to... and are they friend or foe?

A string of questions surfaced in Di Tian's mind. It took him just two and a half seconds to decide: his lord had clearly sensed something, so this Divine Might's arrival must have been within her expectations. If she'd told him not to act, then obeying her couldn't be wrong!

A hazy figure suddenly appeared, accompanied by an ancient voice.

Yet within that aged voice lay boundless authority.

"With the sun and moon in my grasp, I pluck the stars from the sky. None under heaven can compare to me! I never thought I'd live on as a wisp of remnant soul!"

The Holy Necromancer, the Plague of Undead, Electrolux, from another world!

Electrolux's hazy figure first glanced discreetly toward where Di Tian was hiding. He could sense an incredibly powerful presence there.

At his peak, he might not have considered such an opponent a threat. But right now, he was only a wisp of remnant soul and had no time to pay it much attention.

Electrolux soon looked away, turning his gaze to Ao Yao and Huo Yuhao.

As a wisp of remnant soul, Electrolux had drifted through spatial turbulence. The powerful energy—or rather, mental power—surging from Huo Yuhao as he fused with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had drawn him in, allowing him to cross space and arrive in the Douluo World.

He had thought that taking refuge in this boy's Sea of Consciousness as a wisp of remnant soul was his only hope. But to his surprise, there seemed to be an even better choice here.

The aura emanating from that human boy... actually resonated with him!

That was true of both the milky-white bead and the ink-black one!

Though that aura had yet to be fully awakened, Electrolux trusted his judgment completely.

Of course, the most important point was that Huo Yuhao possessed only a Mental Attribute, while Electrolux now clearly had a better choice.

Electrolux didn't hesitate for long. His form drifted toward Ao Yao.

He had expected to see shock, fear, or some other emotion on Ao Yao's face. But to his surprise, all he saw in Ao Yao was... delight?

Ao Yao was indeed delighted.

He'd only just been thinking of luring the Holy Necromancer away from Huo Yuhao, and now Electrolux had come over of his own accord.

Naturally, he'd gladly accept this windfall on Huo Yuhao's behalf!

Ao Yao didn't resist Electrolux's arrival. Instead, he opened his arms and welcomed him.

As he spread his arms, Ao Yao also opened his Sea of Consciousness, successfully admitting Electrolux inside.

That remnant soul with Divine Might... disappeared?

Di Tian had naturally realized that Electrolux was only a wisp of remnant soul. But... it seemed he'd just been wrong again.

The person his lord had told him to watch really was this human boy.

He possessed a domain that even Di Tian found astonishing, an outstanding Martial Soul talent, an impressive Soul Ring configuration, and the favor of an unknown divine remnant soul.

This human boy...

Why not just take him back?

A thought that would've made Gu Yuena curse sprang into Di Tian's mind.

Given the state of that divine remnant soul, Di Tian was certain it couldn't possibly defeat him, let alone stop him. If he wanted to, he could capture this human boy and take him back whenever he pleased.

Why not... put the idea into practice?

A trace of hesitation flickered in Di Tian's eyes.

Done!

Feeling Electrolux's presence, Ao Yao finally let out a long breath of relief. Delight showed on his face.

As he'd said before, Electrolux might not be able to help him much, but he could still be of some use.

The Soul Spirit Method alone was more than enough!

The Divine Realm.

Tang San, dressed in blue, stood alone amid a veil of mist, his brows tightly furrowed and his face full of worry.

Lately, he'd been feeling restless, as if something important were about to leave him.

Today, that feeling had grown especially strong.

But no matter how much he thought it over, Tang San couldn't figure out why. His previous inspections of the lower realm had revealed nothing unusual.

Could it really just be my imagination?

No... this definitely isn't my imagination!

Tang San's expression suddenly turned stern, and he cast his gaze toward the lower realm once more.

Though repeatedly inspecting the lower realm in such a short time had already drawn Destruction's displeasure and criticism, Tang San's plan had now reached its most critical stage. He would not allow even the slightest chance of failure!

He had to investigate every possible threat!

Before long, Tang San's face darkened completely. His expression grew slightly twisted, and his voice took on a bitter, gritted edge.

"A huge portion of the Child of Destiny's fortune has vanished without a trace... Damn it!"

"Who was it?! Who ruined my Ten-Thousand-Year Plan?!"

"Whoever you are... you have a death wish! If I find you, I'll make you wish you were dead!"
