Apprenticeship with Ilex, Divine Position Inheritance?

Upon hearing this, Ye Linyuan was instantly stunned.

Wait, things were developing this fast?

He clearly remembered that in the original story, Electrolux had observed and tested Huo Yuhao for a long time before being willing to pass on his necromancy.

How did it become a direct gift package from the start for him?

If he hadn't known Electrolux's character and nature through the original work, he'd really suspect this old man had been possessed by some otherworldly schemer too!

Did transmigrators really have protagonist halo?

Sensing Ye Linyuan's hesitation, Electrolux chuckled lightly and explained, "Young man, you need not doubt. I bear you no ill will."

"Necromancy is my proudest achievement. The reason I'm willing to pass it to you is twofold."

"First, one who possesses a holy attribute cannot have an evil heart."

"Second, I have occupied your Exquisite Sacred Heart martial soul, essentially replacing it to become your second martial soul."

"But due to my own particularity, although this martial soul of yours can still fuse soul rings, it can no longer possess soul skills."

"Passing necromancy to you is also compensation for your loss."

Ye Linyuan suddenly understood.

So that was it.

Since Electrolux was willing to take him as a disciple, why would Ye Linyuan, holding the transmigrator's script, refuse?

Trading one Exquisite Sacred Heart for Electrolux, this super cheat, plus necromancy—this deal was absolutely not a loss!

So he immediately nodded and said respectfully, "I am willing to take you as my master, Elder Yi, and inherit your legacy."

"Your disciple, Ye Linyuan, greets you, Teacher!"

Electrolux smiled with satisfaction. "I never thought that with only a remnant soul left, I could still take on a disciple naturally possessing both holy and evil power. Hahahaha!"

Ye Linyuan looked at the unicorn energy outside and asked curiously, "Elder Yi, can the soul ring energy of the unicorn repair your divine sense?"

Elder Yi chuckled wryly. "It's not that simple."

"Although I failed to become a god, I was only one step away."

"The unicorn's energy is gentle and pure, and contains a trace of law power, but to repair divine sense, its level is far from enough."

"Still, with this energy nourishing me, my divine sense fragments can at least stabilize and won't dissipate so easily."

Ye Linyuan thought for a moment and said, "Elder Yi, I originally planned to cultivate the Exquisite Sacred Heart as my main focus, going the support or control route, to prepare for the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger later."

"But you just said the Exquisite Sacred Heart can only fuse soul ring energy to enhance itself, no longer possessing soul skills. Does that mean I need to switch my main cultivation martial soul?"

Electrolux pondered briefly and said, "Holy Necromancy is the most powerful ability of my life, and its combat potential is beyond doubt."

"But its external form is too gloomy and evil, easily misunderstood."

"If you use necromancy as your primary means now and reveal it in conflict, you'll easily invite trouble."

"Before your strength reaches a certain level, I suggest you keep necromancy as a trump card and not show it lightly."

"Your other martial soul, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, is also evil-aligned, but it's a product of this continent. Compared to necromancy, it's more acceptable."

"As long as you don't slaughter recklessly, even if others are wary, you won't become the continent's public enemy."

"So, I recommend using the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger as your main cultivation martial soul in the early stage."

Ye Linyuan thought it over and hesitated slightly. "Elder Yi, in that case, the quality of the soul ring I attach to my first martial soul will be much worse. Will that affect the later stages?"

Hearing this, Electrolux immediately laughed.

A hint of pride and dominance suddenly seeped into his gentle voice. "Don't worry about that."

"Once your necromancy is fully developed in the later stage, even if the entire continent turns against you, there's no need to fear!"

At these words, Ye Linyuan's spirit jolted. He suddenly realized and silently cursed his own foolishness.

In terms of actual combat ability, who had a fully developed necromancer ever feared?

Why bother caring about a bit of combat power boost from soul ring age?

His vision was too small!

Ye Linyuan grew excited.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was undoubtedly one of the top beast martial souls on the Douluo Continent.

If he used it as his main cultivation in the early stage, he could probably crush 99% of his peer soul masters.

Then, adding necromancy later to make up for the weakness in group battles... Hey, wasn't this the legendary high early damage, high late damage—basically invincible all the way?

Ye Linyuan felt completely enlightened.

Just thinking about it felt amazing!

"I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Elder Yi," Ye Linyuan said sincerely.

At that moment, Electrolux suddenly said, "Linyuan, that green-haired old man outside—is he also your teacher?"

Ye Linyuan paused for a moment, then replied, "Yes, his name is Du Bùsǐ. He saved my life not long ago."

Recalling how Du Bùsǐ had unhesitatingly erupted in fury to intercept him earlier, Electrolux chuckled lightly. "He treats you well, and his strength is passable."

"Let's go out. If we keep talking any longer, that teacher of yours will probably go mad."

Outside.

Du Bùsǐ watched his precious disciple, whose eyes had been tightly shut for some time with no movement, pacing anxiously in circles.

"Damn it, why is there still no reaction? It's been nearly half an hour already!"

If not for the fact that Ye Linyuan's aura and soul power fluctuations were still relatively stable, he would have long lost his patience and forcibly invaded Ye Linyuan's mental space to investigate.

Just then.

Ye Linyuan's eyelids twitched slightly, and he finally opened his eyes.

Du Bùsǐ's body stiffened, and he quickly leaned in. "Linyuan, are you alright?"

"What was that gray energy flow just now? I felt like I sensed the presence of a deity from it?"

Seeing the tension and urgency on Du Bùsǐ's face, Ye Linyuan felt a warmth in his heart.

But thinking of what Elder Yi had instructed him to do, Ye Linyuan still controlled his expression, deliberately showing excitement. "Teacher, rest assured, I'm fine."

"That energy flow wasn't trying to harm me. On the contrary, it was a tremendous stroke of fortune!"

Du Bùsǐ's eyes widened in shock and uncertainty. "A tremendous stroke of fortune? What do you mean?"

Ye Linyuan's face turned serious. "Teacher, that energy flow was the fragment of a deity's consciousness, and I have been chosen by it to become its inheritor!"

At these words.

Even with Du Bùsǐ's status and experience, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and exclaim in shock, "What did you say!"

"That gray energy flow is a divine inheritance!?"

Ye Linyuan nodded with absolute certainty. "Exactly!"

Indeed.

This was the excuse Ye Linyuan had fabricated to cover for Electrolux.

Because Electrolux's existence was too unique, the fewer people who knew about it, the safer Ye Linyuan would be.

But Du Bùsǐ had personally witnessed Electrolux entering Ye Linyuan's body, so hiding it was impossible. He had to find another way to cover it up.

And a divine inheritance was the most convincing excuse for the natives of Douluo Continent!
