Successfully Intercepting Electrolux!

With a flick of his wrist, Lin Ye drove the Dark Gold Staff into the ground before him with a sharp gust of wind.

With a hum, dark golden light spread along the staff, instantly stabilizing the surrounding ground and forcefully blocking the incoming wave of Mental Shock outside.

Next, Lin Ye flipped his left hand, and a damaged banner appeared in his grasp.

With a casual toss, the Human Emperor Banner shot above his head. Soft golden light poured down, forming an airtight barrier that enveloped his entire body.

Only after finishing all this did Lin Ye clap his hands. Looking at Huo Yuhao in the distance, shrouded in a golden Soul Ring, a teasing smile curled across his lips. With a thought, he continued writing in the Diary.

[It's here, it's here! The main event is here! The Million-Year Soul Beast, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, has appeared!

The first Million-Year Soul Ring in the history of Douluo Continent has just landed on Huo Yuhao's head!

Honestly, I'm a little jealous. This cheat is simply outrageous!]

[Who would have thought that a useless kid who had just awakened his Martial Soul and only had level-one Soul Power would pick up a Million-Year Soul Ring on his first day in the Star Dou Forest? And one with its own intelligence, at that? This opening is completely maxed out!]

[What a pity. From beginning to end, this kid was nothing more than a puppet on strings.

From the moment he met Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, his life had already been arranged crystal clear by Tang San.

Did you think Sky Dream Ice Silkworm finding him was a coincidence?

Give me a break. How could a Million-Year Soul Beast that had been hiding in the Star Dou Forest for hundreds of thousands of years come out and immediately find a Spirit-type Soul Master who had just left the beginner's village? This was just a script Tang San had arranged.]

[That idiot Sky Dream Ice Silkworm probably thought he was the mastermind. He thought he was so clever, escaping from under the noses of so many Ferocious Beasts, finding a spirit-type Soul Master, and launching his God-Making Plan in pursuit of immortality.

In reality, he had long since become a chess piece in Tang San's hand. From the moment he chose Huo Yuhao, his fate had already been decided. In the end, he still had to work for Huo Yuhao for the rest of his life, to the point where even his independent consciousness was nearly worn away.]

[The entire Douluo Continent, from Soul Masters to Soul Beasts, from ordinary people to Titled Douluo, is actually under Tang San's control.

Everyone is following the script he wrote. The slightest deviation is casually corrected by him.

It's only because I'm still too weak right now. Once I become stronger, I'll definitely kill that cancer Tang San. As long as Tang San exists on Douluo Continent—even in the entire Douluo Universe—I won't be able to live comfortably.]

[Huo Yuhao's side should be reaching the critical moment soon. To find himself a suitable host, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm really went all out, forcibly splitting his origin into ten portions just to pave a road to godhood for Huo Yuhao.

It's just a pity that Huo Yuhao's body is far too weak. No matter how careful Sky Dream Ice Silkworm is, after suffering the impact of a Million-Year Soul Beast's origin, he won't be waking up anytime soon.]

He withdrew his gaze and, with a slight movement of his thoughts, suddenly expanded the recording view he had prepared long ago, covering an area of nearly a thousand meters around him.

He wanted to see with his own eyes exactly how the remnant soul of Electrolux, the Holy Necromancer and Undead Calamity, descended upon Douluo Continent.

The instant the view spread out, the once-clear sky suddenly darkened.

Rumble!

A thunderous boom exploded in the heavens without warning, shaking the entire dense forest. Fallen leaves rustled down from ancient trees.

Immediately afterward, an incomparably terrifying pressure descended from the sky, crashing down upon the entire forest as though the heavens themselves had collapsed.

The surrounding Soul Power instantly stagnated. The chirping of insects and birds vanished at once, and even the wind stopped. Only that pressure, enough to make even Titled Douluo tremble, slowly flowed between heaven and earth.

Lin Ye raised an eyebrow slightly. The Golden Dragon King Martial Soul quietly circulated within him, warding off the invading pressure as his eyes remained fixed on the sky.

Above the dim firmament, the vague figure of an old man slowly condensed. A faint gray halo lingered around him. Though he was merely a remnant soul, he radiated a terrifying presence as if he held the universe in his hand and looked down upon all living things.

An aged voice, carrying endless majesty, slowly rang out between heaven and earth.

"Grasping the sun and moon, plucking stars from the heavens—there is none in this world like me. I never expected this old man to still have a trace of his remnant soul left in existence."

Electrolux slowly turned, his clouded yet profound gaze falling upon the unconscious Huo Yuhao.

He could clearly sense an unseen attraction within that boy's Sea of Spirit, drawing his wisp of remnant soul toward it. That was the only place where he could take shelter.

Subconsciously, he was about to drift toward Huo Yuhao. But at that moment, his gaze suddenly paused and landed on Lin Ye in the distance.

More precisely, it landed on the tiny banner silently appearing above Lin Ye's head, radiating soft golden light.

That was the Human Emperor Banner.

Though Electrolux came from another world and had never seen such a supreme treasure before, the instant his gaze fell upon the Human Emperor Banner, an uncontrollable tremor rose from within his remnant soul.

He could clearly sense that within that small banner lay unimaginable power to nourish, repair, and nurture Divine Souls and remnant souls.

On one side was a place that could barely shelter him. On the other was something that could restore him to his peak.

The difference between them was like one side offering a hundred gold coins while the other offered ten thousand.

There was no room for hesitation.

Electrolux made his decision almost instantly. His figure, originally drifting toward Huo Yuhao, abruptly changed direction. Turning into a gray streak of light, he charged directly toward Lin Ye with lightning speed.

Watching the gray streak rush toward him, Lin Ye's lips curved into a faint, expected smile. He raised his right hand and gave it a light wave.

The Human Emperor Banner floating above his head suddenly blazed with golden light. Its surface billowed in the wind, expanding dozens of times in an instant. Gentle yet irresistible power spread outward, directly enveloping Electrolux's entire remnant soul.

There was no chance to resist. Electrolux's figure was instantly drawn into the Human Emperor Banner. The golden light faded, and the small banner shrank back down, quietly floating above Lin Ye's head as if nothing had happened.

The darkness between heaven and earth gradually faded, and that terrifying pressure vanished without a trace. Sunlight once again filtered through the gaps between the leaves, restoring the forest's former tranquility.

Lin Ye raised his hand and caught the descending Human Emperor Banner. As his fingertips brushed its surface, he could clearly sense Electrolux's now-soothed remnant soul within. He let out a long breath, and the worry hanging over his heart finally eased.

Even though he had made countless preparations in advance and had even prepared several plans for unexpected situations, he still did not dare fully relax before truly taking in Electrolux.

After all, he understood the Butterfly Effect all too well.

With him, a butterfly from another world, present here, the original plot of Douluo Continent had long since veered wildly off course. If some unforeseen change really occurred, he would not find it strange in the slightest.

Fortunately, everything had gone smoothly, and no accidents had occurred. This card, Electrolux, had ultimately fallen into his hand.

He leaned back against the tree trunk again. With a thought, he summoned the Diary once more, and his pen began moving again.

[Good lord, Electrolux's entrance really had some spectacle. As expected of the Holy Necromancer who could rival gods with the body of a Demigod.

Even the pressure leaking from a mere wisp of his remnant soul nearly shattered the forest around me.]

Shrek, Inner Court.

Ma Xiaotao had been watching the Diary's images the entire time. Seeing that world-ending scene, she could not help worrying for Lin Ye.

Although she trusted Lin Ye deeply, he had not fully grown yet. If anything went wrong, the consequences would truly be unimaginable.

Fortunately, she had witnessed the entire process and watched Lin Ye successfully take in Electrolux's remnant soul. Only then did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.

It was not just Ma Xiaotao. Xiao Xiao relaxed as well.

She had been so nervous just now that she had nearly cried out. Though she was not at the scene, the images in the Diary felt as if she were experiencing them firsthand.

She had never encountered such a terrifying sight before. It was power beyond anything she could imagine.

Such a powerful Electrolux had been taken in by Lin Ye just like that. Her admiration for Lin Ye had become simply indescribable.

Lin Ye's writing did not pause and continued onward.

[Electrolux was originally heading for Huo Yuhao, but the moment he condensed a physical form, the first thing he noticed was the Human Emperor Banner above my head.

Makes sense. To him, with only a wisp of remnant soul left, the Human Emperor Banner's ability to nourish and repair Divine Souls and remnant souls is like a man who has been starving for three days suddenly seeing a lavish feast.

As long as his brain isn't broken, he knows what to choose.]

[I successfully got Electrolux, this card, into my hand. Honestly, I was still a little nervous at that moment.

Even with several plans prepared beforehand, I was afraid something unexpected might happen.

After all, the Butterfly Effect is just too uncertain. With me, this butterfly, around, I wouldn't be surprised by any absurd thing happening on Douluo Continent.

Fortunately, everything is under my control. Electrolux has been safely sealed inside the Human Emperor Banner. There'll be plenty of time ahead to discuss cooperation properly with this Holy Necromancer.]

[Speaking of Electrolux, I have to mention the Spirit Soul Method he created.

The Spirit Soul Method in the original work was, in the end, nothing more than drinking poison to quench thirst. It treated the symptoms but not the root cause.

Although it could temporarily ease the conflict between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts, allowing Soul Beasts to avoid being directly hunted, it could not truly solve the problem of Soul Beast extinction. Instead, it would accelerate the depletion of Soul Beast origins and lead the Soul Beast Clan toward extinction even faster.]

[But now, things are different.

The Spirit Soul Method in the original work was something Electrolux barely created while reduced to a remnant soul and in terrible condition. It was only natural that it had flaws.

But now Electrolux is in my hands. I possess a Divine Soul research system far beyond this world, as well as a technique like the Everlasting Spring Art that can nourish the origins of all things.

Combined with Electrolux's ultimate understanding of Divine Souls and the Law of Necromancy, the three of us can absolutely develop a more complete, mature, and perfect system based on the original Spirit Soul Method.]
