The dim gray orb drifted slowly, carrying an indescribable power as though it were observing the three people present.

The first one it observed was Huo Yuhao, covered in blood and possessed of an unusual fate.

Somewhere beyond perception, it seemed as if the great currents of heaven and earth were drawing them together. An innate sense of familiarity and destiny lingered within the mind of Electrolux's remnant soul.

There was no trace of the boy before him in his fragmented memories, yet their paths of fate seemed to share some sort of connection.

Electrolux's remnant soul trembled slightly. Instinctively, it moved toward Huo Yuhao's brow, intending to entrust all that remained of its legacy to him.

But just as the remnant soul was about to touch Huo Yuhao, a gentle, steady young voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Electrolux's approach.

"This junior, Ning An, pays his respects to the Holy Necromancer God—Lord Electrolux!"

Ning An stood tall and gave a slight bow with clasped hands, respectful without being humble.

As his voice fell—

The slowly drifting gray orb abruptly froze in place!

The undead remnant soul that had been about to merge into Huo Yuhao suddenly changed direction, its fixed gaze locking firmly onto Ning An.

The incomplete and hazy consciousness of the remnant soul erupted into towering waves!

Electrolux's remaining memories had already been shattered and scattered.

Yet he understood that this world was no longer the place where he had once been. No one here should remember his name or know his legend!

And yet this child had immediately called him...

Holy Necromancer God, Electrolux!

That was the most dazzling title uniquely his in his own world!

"You... know me?"

The hoarse, ancient voice carried utter shock and suspicion.

His fragmented memories surged wildly, yet he could not find the slightest trace of the boy before him.

Ning An raised his eyes. His gaze was clear and tranquil, his tone even, every word striking precisely at the lingering obsession within Electrolux's remnant soul:

"This junior once glimpsed scenes of another world in a dream."

"I dreamed of you clad in the sacred robes of a necromancer, wielding the Staff of Annihilation, commanding an army of hundreds of millions of undead. You crossed mountains and rivers, overturned the four seas, swept aside powerful enemies in every direction, and dominated the entire world in a scene of unparalleled splendor!"

"On that day, the undead covered the heavens, countless arts bowed their heads, the gods stepped aside, and no one in the world could withstand your brilliance!"

"With a mortal body, you could still make the gods retreat!"

In just a few short sentences, he had perfectly recreated the most glorious and magnificent moments of Electrolux's life!

Boom—!

At that moment, Electrolux's shattered remnant soul trembled completely!

Countless scenes from his memories surged forth like a raging tide!

Mountains of corpses and seas of blood stretched for thousands of miles, while legions of undead blanketed the sky!

The glorious years when he had single-handedly fought against the world, using the Great Dao of Necromancy to oppose all the world's paths, shaking the entire continent's balance with his own strength—all of it emerged clearly before him!

That was the pride he had spent his entire life building, the obsession that had endured through the ages!

He had slept for too long and forgotten too much. Even he himself had nearly forgotten how invincible he had once been!

Yet this boy, only eleven years old, had summed up the glorious half of his life in a few words, awakening all his former glory and pride!

"Good! Excellent!!"

Electrolux's voice suddenly surged with emotion, carrying excitement and exhilaration buried for countless ages. The halo around his remnant soul swelled violently, and gray light illuminated the entire dense forest!

The so-called fated familiarity he had felt toward Huo Yuhao instantly faded at that moment, even vanishing completely!

Ning An before him understood his glory and knew his brilliance!

And he had even dreamed of his glorious years. Without question, Ning An was the one destined by fate.

What Electrolux did not know, however, was that Ning An had never dreamed of him.

It was entirely based on what he had known about Electrolux before transmigrating, with a few embellishments added in. Sure enough, it had piqued his curiosity, satisfied his ego, and now won him over completely.

It had to be said that no matter how powerful an existence was, they could not refuse sincere flattery.

Electrolux's remaining divine soul became completely certain.

Without the slightest hesitation, Electrolux did not spare Huo Yuhao another glance. He gathered all the aura of his remnant soul, transformed into a streak of blazing light, and shot straight toward Ning An's brow!

The streak pierced through space and instantly entered Ning An's sea of consciousness, taking root deep within his spiritual sea!

Tianmeng Iceworm, who had been stunned throughout the entire process, was completely dumbfounded inside Huo Yuhao's sea of consciousness.

???

That thing just now seemed stronger than him, didn't it?

And Ning An had talked it over with just a few words?

Tianmeng Iceworm had the distinct feeling that the gray orb should have come to Huo Yuhao to fight him for a place to stay—and might even have helped Huo Yuhao in the future.

But now...

"Forget it, forget it. I don't want to think about it anymore. I'm going to sleep!"

"Huh? Brother Tianmeng?"

Huo Yuhao stood there with a blank look on his face, completely unable to process the rapidly changing situation from moments ago.

He vaguely felt as though he had missed some tremendous opportunity, yet he could not explain what it was at all.

Still, that gray little sphere had chosen Ning An—chosen his light. It really had good judgment.

Huo Yuhao was not jealous. Instead, he felt happy for Ning An.

Ning Tian swallowed hard. Anything that could make her brother act like that had to be even more impressive than that million-year soul beast from earlier.

Her brother had so easily earned that being's favor?

Awesome. As expected of Ning Tian's brother.

Meanwhile, Ning An stood where he was, his mind quiet as a faint smile of certain victory flashed through his eyes.

Success! He had intercepted it!

He knew Electrolux's value all too well.

The inheritance of the Necromancer Holy Mage God—later, he could even obtain a demiplane of the undead and develop the Soul Spirit system. Wasn't that far better than some giant bug?

The instant Electrolux's remnant soul completely took up residence in Ning An's sea of consciousness, a cold system notification exploded in his mind!

[ Ding! Detected that the host has successfully persuaded Huo Yuhao to join the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! ] [ Successfully intercepted the remnant soul of Electrolux, the Necromancer Holy Mage God! ] [ Mission perfectly completed! ] [ Complete Tang Sect Secret Arts successfully unlocked! ] [ Note: This is the flawless complete version, superior to the version from Unrivaled Tang Sect! In this world, you are the true orthodox inheritor of the Tang Sect Secret Arts. ]

A vast flood of cultivation information, incomparably exquisite insights into techniques, fluid hidden-weapon trajectories, movement-method secrets, and body-tempering formulas surged into Ning An's mind like roaring rivers and seas!

Countless obscure truths of hidden weapons and profound principles of movement techniques were branded deep into his soul. Whenever he wished to learn them, he could study and master them at any time.

Jade Hand tempered the body into diamond, impervious to blades and spears. Purple Demon Eye saw through illusions and perceived all things. Ghost Shadow Track crossed a thousand miles in an instant, leaving no shadow or trace.

Controlling Crane, Capturing Dragon could grasp and release at will, controlling all things. Hundred Solutions to Hidden Weapons encompassed everything, changing in countless ways!

The complete Tang Sect Secret Arts flowed into him in one seamless breath, all becoming his own!

Ning An felt as though his essence, energy, and spirit had undergone an instant transformation. His physical body, martial soul, and even his senses surged across the board. That was probably an additional benefit of receiving these techniques.

Ning An slowly came back to himself. The aura around him had quietly transformed, endless sharpness concealed beneath his gentle bearing.

He looked at Huo Yuhao and Ning Tian. "You two, come here. I'll teach you some of my Nine Treasure Arts."

The incomplete ones were called Tang Sect Secret Arts, while his complete ones were called Nine Treasure Arts. Nothing wrong with that, right?
