Yun Yi's sea of consciousness was vast and boundless, its liquid golden spiritual power surging in rolling waves.

High above, three divine marks floated in the air, radiating terrifying divine might.

The gray bead Electrolux had transformed into hovered alone above the golden sea.

His illusory remnant soul was frozen within the bead. Looking up at the three divine laws above that could not be gazed upon directly, his soul trembled instinctively.

The intrusion of an outsider instantly triggered the divine marks' rejection.

The Fire God Mark, the most violent and least tolerant of even the slightest impurity, was the first to strike.

The crimson Flame Dragon Mark suddenly blazed brightly, its dazzling red light turning half the sea of consciousness into a boiling furnace.

The surrounding liquid golden spiritual power evaporated wildly beneath the extreme heat, transforming into vast clouds of golden mist.

"Roar—!"

A heaven-shaking dragon roar tore apart the silence of the sea of consciousness.

A crimson fire dragon roared as it burst forth from the Flame Dragon Mark.

Its entire body was covered in red-gold scales the size of millstones, with true solar fire capable of incinerating the void spewing from the gaps between every scale.

The fire dragon's lantern-sized eyes locked tightly onto the gray bead below. It opened its enormous maw and charged straight at Electrolux's remnant soul with unstoppable, devastating force!

A violent wave of scorching heat came crashing down like an avalanche.

Electrolux's expression changed drastically.

Even though he had once been the Holy Necromancer who ruled his world with one hand, even though he had once stood with one foot in the realm of gods, before the laws of a true main god, this incomplete remnant soul of his was as fragile as a dying candle in a storm.

His instinct for survival drove him to mobilize every last scrap of his power.

An obscure, ancient incantation rapidly echoed through the sea of consciousness.

The gray bead shook violently as layer upon layer of gray magic formations rapidly took shape in midair.

Several bone shields condensed from pure death aura stacked atop one another, transforming into an impregnable Wall of Sighs that stood across the fire dragon's diving path.

This was the ultimate defensive forbidden spell he had once been so proud of, capable of withstanding the bombardment of all mortal powers in the world.

Yet before divine punishment, such defenses were utterly meaningless.

The fire dragon did not even need to make an attack. The true solar fire surrounding its body merely drew near.

"Crack crack crack crack—"

A dense barrage of shattering sounds merged into one.

Those undead bone shields, which even the Super Douluo of this world would have struggled to break, could not endure for even a breath upon touching the divine fire. They let out mournful cries as they collapsed under the strain.

The death aura was forcibly ignited by the tyrannical fire element, and the bone shields melted and vaporized layer by layer like lingering snow beneath the blazing sun.

Wild tongues of flame pierced through the final layer of defense, and the scorching threat of death bore down directly upon Electrolux's soul origin.

That power, capable of burning away everything, made Electrolux abandon all resistance completely.

Amid the endless reflections of flame, every trace of fear and struggle faded from Electrolux's aged face.

He had lived too long and experienced too much betrayal and slaughter. He had long since lost all attachment to this world.

To die beneath the wrath of a true god might perhaps be a dignified release.

He slowly closed his eyes, letting his arms hang naturally at his sides. He completely relinquished control over the gray bead and allowed the towering divine flames to swallow him.

My life ends here.

His aged voice carried the calm acceptance of one who had seen through life and death as he quietly awaited the moment his soul would be obliterated.

At that very critical moment.

At the center of the sea of consciousness, the golden six-pointed star mark representing the Goddess of Light suddenly erupted with boundless holy radiance.

A brilliant golden pillar of light descended from above, enveloping the gray bead with perfect precision just before the fire dragon could devour it.

Pure holy light transformed into an indestructible circular barrier, protecting Electrolux's remnant soul within it.

"Rumble—!"

Carrying the force to burn the heavens and boil the seas, the fire dragon crashed headfirst into the golden barrier.

Two main god-level laws collided fiercely within this tiny space.

Towering waves rose throughout the sea of consciousness, and the golden waters of spiritual power were blasted skyward by the powerful aftershocks of energy.

The fire dragon writhed its enormous body wildly, opening its jaws to bite continuously at the barrier of light. Its sharp claws scraped blazing sparks across the surface of the shield.

Violent fire elements attempted to seep in from every direction, seeking to completely incinerate the heretic tainted with undead aura.

Yet the golden barrier remained as steady as a mountain. No matter how fiercely the fire dragon raged, it did not waver in the slightest.

The Goddess of Light's laws protected Electrolux with unquestionable majesty.

The Fire God Mark had clearly been enraged by this obstruction.

The fire dragon retreated several hundred zhang, circled through the air, and let the crimson flames around its body surge once more as it prepared to launch an even fiercer second assault.

At that moment, an unusual pulse rippled across the surface of the golden six-pointed star mark.

It was an exchange of will between gods spanning space itself.

The Goddess of Light's perception was extraordinarily sharp.

Although Electrolux was outwardly wrapped in dense undead death aura, beneath her divine gaze that saw through all falsehood, the deepest core of his remnant soul concealed an exceptionally pure and holy constitution that even faintly touched upon the origin of light—the Child of Light!

Before his death, he must have been someone who had cultivated the power of light to its utmost limit. Only after suffering some immense upheaval had he fallen onto the path of necromancy.

More importantly, this remnant soul held no intention whatsoever of harming Yun Yi.

He had entered the sea of consciousness purely to find a place to linger on in desperate survival.

The Goddess of Light's thoughts raced.

The Water and Fire Gods already possessed the advantage of compatible attributes. If those two got the upper hand first, Yun Yi's future cultivation focus would inevitably shift.

And this remnant soul possessing the power of light—was he not an excellent mentor delivered right to her door?

If he were allowed to remain here and guide Yun Yi day and night in studying the laws of light, Yun Yi would surely grow closer to the divine position of light without even realizing it.

The golden six-pointed star trembled slightly, clearly transmitting to the Fire God Mark the information that this remnant soul possessed the origin of light and could serve as an excellent opportunity for the inheritor.

In midair, the fire dragon that was about to dive down suddenly froze.

Though the Fire God was hot-tempered, he was not unreasonable.

He sensed the information transmitted by the six-pointed star, then carefully examined the gray bead trembling behind the barrier. Sure enough, deep within its death aura, he detected a trace of pure light essence.

Since it would greatly benefit the inheritor, then it could live.

The fire dragon forcefully snorted two pillars of flame from its nostrils, clearly unwilling to accept this.

It glared viciously at Electrolux, then its enormous body abruptly dissolved in midair, transforming into countless crimson specks of light that merged back into the Flame Dragon Mark high above.

The extreme heat that had churned through the sea of consciousness rapidly cooled as well.

He had survived death.

Electrolux opened his eyes again, gasping for breath as his soul body trembled uncontrollably from overwhelming terror.

He raised his head toward the golden barrier protecting him, his eyes filled with the lingering fear of a narrow escape and a measure of confusion.

Just then, a vast, majestic, and impossibly distant will crossed countless barriers and exploded directly within the depths of Electrolux's soul.

"Devote yourself to teaching the inheritor how to wield the power of light. In the future, you may ascend to the God Realm and be reborn."

The brief sentence struck like thunder, sending Electrolux's mind reeling and making his thoughts roar.

The God Realm! Rebirth!

To a Holy Necromancer who possessed only a wisp of remnant soul and struggled desperately in the mortal world, those words were the most irresistible temptation imaginable.

Electrolux forcefully suppressed the shock in the depths of his soul.

He knew full well that before an existence of this level, any bargaining or hesitation would be exceedingly foolish.

Though he had been without rival in the mortal world and considered his talent and ability second to none, before the Goddess of Light, who had lived through an unknown number of epochs and commanded the laws of origin, he was merely a scholar who had only just entered the path.

He straightened his tattered robes and knelt on both knees within the gray bead, placing his overlapping hands before his forehead in the oldest and most solemn mage's oath of allegiance.

Electrolux bowed deeply, his aged voice filled with absolute devotion.

"Electrolux humbly obeys the divine decree. I shall impart all that I have learned without reserve. Should I conceal anything or harbor the slightest malicious intent, may divine fire burn my soul, and may I never find rebirth for all eternity!"

Having received Electrolux's oath of allegiance, the golden six-pointed star mark above trembled softly once more.

This time, it was not pressure or a barrier, but a true bestowal of divine grace.

A drop of liquid divine power of light separated from the six-pointed star. Like a golden meteor, it passed through the barrier and fell with perfect accuracy onto the gray bead.

"Buzz—"

The instant the divine power entered his body, Electrolux let out an uncontrollable long howl.

That drop of divine power of light contained unimaginable life-giving vitality.

Like an unstoppable sword, it forcibly cleaved apart the thick undead death aura surrounding Electrolux's soul.

The shadow of death was purified in an instant, revealing the Child of Light origin deep within his soul, radiant as gold and flawlessly pure.

His damaged soul was rapidly repaired and nourished by that overwhelming divine energy.

The hazy phantom that had been on the verge of scattering into the wind grew increasingly solid and complete at a visible rate beneath the nourishment of this power.

His withered gray hair turned lustrous silver-white, his gaunt face regained its vitality, and even his tattered mage robes were rewoven with intricate sacred magical patterns.

A single drop of divine power had not only stabilized Electrolux's remnant soul, which had been on the verge of collapse, but had even restored the solidity of his soul body to thirty percent of its peak before death!

Once the divine power of light had finished nourishing him, the radiance of the golden six-pointed star mark gradually faded. Together with the Water and Fire God Marks beside it, it once more concealed itself within the lofty heavens of the sea of consciousness, returning completely to silence as though it had never awakened.

Electrolux slowly rose to his feet.

He clenched his fists and felt the endlessly surging, utterly pure might of light within his soul body. As he looked up toward the heavens, all despair had vanished from his eyes, leaving only deep reverence and endless emotion.
