Huo Yuhao's consciousness first entered his own Spiritual Sea.

As the golden waves surged, Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Sea began to expand even further after absorbing the Spiritual Origin of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

While sensing the ever-increasing Spiritual Power, Huo Yuhao was not blinded by this seemingly omnipotent power within the Spiritual Sea.

Huo Yuhao methodically used his will to control the ever-growing Spiritual Power, and after it solidified, he distributed it to the positions he had planned earlier.

In this way, he continuously transforms and fills his Spiritual Sea, making it more stable and more in line with his previous plans.

One by one, the pillars sank into the Spiritual Sea. These were all forged by Huo Yuhao with his solidified Spiritual Power, and contained the knowledge that Huo Yuhao had compiled.

Whenever needed, it can be activated through consciousness, and can be directly manifested in the outside world through Spiritual Power without on-site construction, making it into magic or array diagrams, which is quite convenient.

However, the preparation and shaping in the early stages were quite troublesome. It took Huo Yuhao a whole day to absorb all the Spiritual Power in the Spiritual Origin of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and integrate it into his own Spiritual Sea.

Now, in Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Sea, of the ten massive Spiritual Origin brought by the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm when it became his Soul Ring, only seven remain sealed.

This is because, apart from this time, during Huo Yuhao's previous breakthroughs in Spiritual Power, two Spiritual Origin had already gradually merged into Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Sea during the process.

Huo Yuhao's cultivation level has not yet broken through the level 70 Soul Sage, but according to his estimation, he should be able to absorb all the Spiritual Origin of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm when he breaks through the level Level 90 Titled Realm.

At that time, Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Power level will naturally break through to the Spirit Domain Realm. However, after dealing with the Spiritual Power in the Spiritual Sea, Huo Yuhao did not stay in the Spiritual Sea.

Instead, Huo Yuhao directly used the Magic Imprint left by Electrolux to enter the Undead Demigod Plane.

However, the place where he appeared this time was different from the monotonous desolate land he had seen before.

He was currently at the edge of the Undead Demigod Plane, a place where even the Purple Sun hanging high in the Undead Demigod Plane could hardly reach.

Beyond the earth's edge lies utter darkness, devoid of any matter or light, a void deeper than darkness itself, seemingly capable of swallowing everything.

Compared to the desolate lands of other areas in the Undead Demigod Plane, this place is devoid of the purple sunlight and the occasional sounds of Undead Creatures colliding and rubbing against each other.

The place seemed even more silent, or rather, lifeless, and Electrolux stood there alone, quietly waiting for Huo Yuhao's arrival.

Unlike before, Electrolux was now extremely solemn and dignified, and Huo Yuhao appeared here directly in his own Divine Body form, rather than relying on Undead Creatures.

Electrolux was wearing a rarely seen Magic Robe, and he held a huge Golden Scepter in his hand.

At this moment, Electrolux exuded an indescribable aura of holiness and nobility, and even without making any move, he inspired people to bow down in reverence.

Compared to the original novel, where Elder Yi always used his last resort when Huo Yuhao was in danger, sacrificing his own Divine Sense to help Huo Yuhao, this character is different.

Electrolux's current condition and recovery are far superior to those in the original story.

Firstly, the resources Huo Yuhao has acquired, such as Immortal Herb, are much earlier than in the original story. Secondly, Huo Yuhao has avoided many unnecessary actions by Electrolux in the original story, thus reducing Electrolux's losses.

It is precisely because of this that, after his Divine Sense recovered to a certain extent, he did not use the second Spiritual Sea formed by the Gold of Life to recuperate as in the original work.

However, Electrolux has recovered to the Undead Demigod Plane for his own Divine Sense, instead of needing Huo Yuhao to exist.

The current state that Electrolux is displaying, the full power that his Divine Sense body can now wield, does not consume the foundation of his Divine Sense, nor does it deplete Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Power; rather, it consumes the energy within the Undead Demigod Plane.

As the creator of the Undead Demigod Plane, once Electrolux has recovered to a certain extent, he will be able to gain control of the Undead Demigod Plane through special means, thereby using the energy of the Undead Demigod Plane to restore himself.

This speed is actually much faster than when Electrolux was recuperating in Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Sea.

After all, even if the Undead Demigod Plane is incomplete, it is still a Small World -like existence, and its efficiency in absorbing and converting energy is far beyond what Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Sea can currently match.

While Electrolux can also recover by drawing upon the Spiritual Origin of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, and even at a much faster rate than by converting energy bit by bit.

After all, if the Spiritual Power contained in the Spiritual Origin the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm were used to repair the Divine Sense, the efficiency would naturally be much higher.

However, this was not a good thing for Huo Yuhao, so Electrolux never mentioned it.

Before recovering to a level sufficient to control the Undead Demigod Plane, Electrolux mostly relied on things that Huo Yuhao couldn't use to restore himself, such as the Gold of Life or the uncontrollable overflow residue from Huo Yuhao's increased Spiritual Power.

For Electrolux, his greatest obsession in this life had long been resolved. Even if a Divine Sense still remained, it was of no importance to him whether it existed or dissipated.

All he wants to do now is leave as much trace of his existence in this world as possible.

"Teacher."

Huo Yuhao understood that since Electrolux had shown this attitude, what he was about to say and do must be of great importance.

"Yuhao, watch carefully. The magic I'm about to use is one that I can't use a second time in a short period of time. Observe carefully the changes and see how they differ from what you did before."

Accompanying Electrolux's voice was an aura of supreme authority emanating from him.

At this moment, the feeling that Electrolux gave Huo Yuhao was no longer that of the kind old man he usually was.

Rather, it is a god, a supreme and noble Deity who has no emotions whatsoever and holds sway over all things in the world.

All that could be heard was the murmur and chanting of profound incantations from Electrolux's mouth, but Huo Yuhao was completely unable to memorize these incantations at this moment.

The incantation entered Huo Yuhao's ears but was immediately forgotten. He couldn't understand it or remember it. Now, Huo Yuhao can only try his best to remember everything that happened as the world gradually changed as the Electrolux incantation began.

At this moment, the deathly aura that had existed in the surrounding environment completely vanished without a trace, and a solemn light emanated from Electrolux's body, while the surrounding environment also seemed to faintly radiate light.

Is it light? Huo Yuhao couldn't help but think so, but what Electrolux did was clearly far more complicated than that.

As this light appeared, the previously stable spatial interface at the boundary of the Undead Demigod Plane began to fluctuate in a very regular manner.

The space, which was originally invisible, intangible, and indescribable, was given form as if by light, allowing Electrolux to mold its shape at will.

Then, outside the Undead Demigod Plane, the void that was originally pitch black and devoid of any light or matter began to be gradually swallowed up by the Undead Demigod Plane.

The boundary of the Undead Demigod Plane expanded rapidly in Huo Yuhao's eyes at a speed visible to the naked eye, until it extended a full meter before stopping.

It should be noted that the boundaries of the Undead Demigod Plane are already vast, so how much area is expanded by adding a radius of one meter on top of that?

Huo Yuhao's current situation is unknown, but compared to the power that Electrolux is currently displaying, the Artificial Profound Ice Cave that Huo Yuhao created before is not even a small-scale operation.

This was also the first time Huo Yuhao truly realized just how powerful the knowledge and resources of Electrolux, a Demigod- level mage, were in his hands.

At least in the Douluo Continent today, it can be considered a complete dimensional reduction attack, since the so-called Soul Spirit is nothing more than the soul of Soul Beast that Electrolux modified based on his Necromancy.

Even in the era of the Legend of the Dragon King, what could Gu Yuena's research on Artificial Soul Spirit really amount to for a powerful figure like Electrolux, who could create an endless stream of Undead Creatures as a laboratory for the Undead Demigod Plane?

After a moment of silence, Huo Yuhao slowly said, "Spatial manipulation, but it's not simply about influencing space through Spiritual Power."

"Previously, I made the Artificial Profound Ice Cave possible by disassembling the spells in low-level spatial magic and assembling them into Magic Array."

Huo Yuhao sighed, "But the expansion of space and the gathering of Ice Element are always in conflict."

"Using space as the framework and Ice Element as the flesh and blood to fill it, even if you force it into shape, you can only barely maintain a balance."

"However, a balance must be struck between the two for slow expansion to occur, and a lot of internal friction will be generated in the process, making it impossible to achieve the effect of one plus one equals two."

"Compared to what you've shown, teacher, it's not even in the same league. It's not a difference in ability, but rather..."

Electrolux removed the scepter from his hand and the robes from his robes, reverting to his usual kind old man before speaking, "Indeed, Yuhao, tell me, what exactly did I just do?"

Huo Yuhao frowned slightly. "I didn't fully understand it, but I did understand one thing, which is that Elder Yi's methods are absolutely based on the control of the Light Element."

"As for the specifics of how it was done, and how it led to this result," Huo Yuhao shook his head, admitting that he couldn't figure it out either.

Electrolux nodded approvingly. "To have seen this far is enough for you right now."

"Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Light, Dark, Space —the seven elements are relatively common, while light, darkness, and space are relatively rare and difficult to control. However, they can all be regarded as the basic elements that constitute this world."

"Take the Water Element as an example. Water can be transformed into the Ice Element, and the Ice Element can also form other elements."

"Pure elements are considered the ultimate at the mortal level, and can also be regarded as powerful, but this does not mean that only pure elements are powerful."

"The world is filled with sunlight, grass and trees, wind, rain and thunder, and countless living things thrive. A complete world can only be truly formed by the coexistence of the seven elements."

"Although my Undead Demigod Plane is not yet a complete world, it is based on my research on the Light Element. Even if it is not complete, it is not far off."

Huo Yuhao nodded. He naturally understood this point. Although the Undead Demigod Plane was Demiplane where Undead Creatures existed and reproduced.

Moreover, the Undead Creatures here are special beings born from the Light Element, but this plane itself has no Light Element at all, which is illogical.

"Light and darkness can also be reversed. Only in the darkest places can the aurora be born. This is why the Undead Creatures I created have the characteristics of light creatures that defy common sense."

"Since light can be reversed into darkness, then earth, water, fire, wind, and even space are ultimately just elements."

"Through the various derivations, changes, and transformations of the Light Element, corresponding existences can naturally be born."

"Light and darkness go hand in hand. Through the derivation and change of the Light Element, the alternation and rotation of the Dark Element can be stimulated naturally."

"And the sun and earth in the Undead Demigod Plane were created by me through the transformation between light and darkness."

"As light and darkness reverse and the cycle takes shape, the Space Element in the darkness are naturally captured within it."

"Is it that space is not the dominant element constituting the world, but rather that other elements came first, and then space came to be the entity that carries them?"

Huo Yuhao seemed to be deep in thought, but at the same time, he also gained a clearer understanding of the space that he had previously had a somewhat vague understanding of.

"Although space is difficult to fathom, it is indeed a real element, but it is usually difficult for people to observe and capture."

"These are my insights and understanding of the world gained from studying magic. Yuhao, you can listen and learn, but you must incorporate your own understanding and thought into how to do it."

"Moreover, what I just said only applies to ordinary people; it's not the same for you, Yuhao."

"It's just that you lacked knowledge about it in the past, which is why you couldn't see the existence of space through your magical eyes."

"After all, for someone like you who can even peek into and influence the Power of Destiny in the dark, your understanding of space is only one step away from being fully grasped."

Compared to the tangible but intangible understanding he gained from the Artificial Profound Ice Cave, it was only after Electrolux's personal instruction that Huo Yuhao truly achieved a preliminary understanding of space.
