The Key to the Plan: Electrolux!

After reaching an alliance with the Silver Dragon King and setting the grand plan to exile the Divine Realm, Lei Chen did not rush into action. He knew that when plotting something so significant, patience was far more important than impulse.

The Silver Dragon King needed time to recover some of her strength and use spatial secret arts to sense and guide the distant Spacetime Turbulence. At the same time, she had to seek an opportunity to establish contact with the Golden Dragon King, who was sealed within the Divine Realm.

As for Lei Chen himself, he focused on two places closely tied to his plan: the White Tiger Duke's Estate in the Star Luo Empire and the Haotian Sect in the Heaven Soul Empire.

Like a chess player seated high behind the scenes, he quietly observed the subtle changes on the board.

Within the Haotian Sect, he waited for the girl burdened by karma to appear. Within the White Tiger Duke's Estate, he watched the growth of the boy with a fate full of hardship.

Under Lei Chen's constant watch, several years passed without notice.

Until today, when his "gaze" swept across the Haotian Sect, a delicate-looking girl of around eleven suddenly appeared within the sect. The unusual glimmer of divinity deep within her soul revealed her origins.

At the same time, beside a crude wooden hut in the White Tiger Duke's Estate of the Star Luo Empire, a frail figure broke through the bottleneck of level ten soul power amid unwillingness and resolve.

"The time has come." Ripples spread through Lei Chen's consciousness.

He did not interfere with the injustice Huo Yuhao suffered in the duke's estate, nor did he stop the child from secretly leaving home alone with a heart full of hatred and a sliver of hope, setting out on the perilous journey to the Star Dou Great Forest. He merely watched in silence.

Lei Chen's "gaze" followed Huo Yuhao, watching him brave countless dangers to enter the Star Dou Great Forest, watching him struggle through hunger and exhaustion, until he finally encountered that ten-year Wind Baboon head-on.

Relying on sheer ruthlessness and unpolished combat skills, the youth narrowly completed the first kill of his life. At that moment, a seductive spiritual fluctuation sounded in Huo Yuhao's mind.

"What incredible luck. I never thought I'd encounter a human with a spiritual attribute in my lifetime. It's a pity I can't cry, or I'd definitely be weeping my eyes out..."

Skydream Iceworm, this Million-Year Soul Beast, began his first conversation with Huo Yuhao.

Lei Chen watched it all calmly. He watched Skydream Iceworm use exaggerated words to recount his miserable past, describe the grand blueprint of creating a "god," and guide Huo Yuhao step by step into accepting his sacrifice.

"Yuhao, relax your mind. I'm starting now! It might hurt a little, so endure it!" Skydream Iceworm's voice was resolute.

Huo Yuhao closed his eyes, both nervous and expectant.

At the same time, Lei Chen's consciousness instantly became highly focused. He knew the most crucial moment had arrived!

Of course, what he intended to do was not interrupt Skydream Iceworm's sacrifice. Rather, before a God King in the Divine Realm noticed, he intended to conceal an otherworldly remnant soul that was about to arrive with lightning speed.

As the first Million-Year Soul Beast in the history of Douluo Continent, the enormous energy produced by Skydream Iceworm's sacrifice, along with his unique spiritual origin, would be like a lighthouse lit in the deep sea of the universe, briefly illuminating this plane.

And in the instant it was illuminated, a faint remnant soul from another plane, weak yet extraordinarily high in essence, would be drawn by that power and shatter through space to arrive!

In the original story, this remnant soul—Electrolux—merged into Huo Yuhao's Sea of Spirit, only to inexplicably shatter and fade away in the end. But now that Lei Chen had prepared in advance, he would never let that happen again!

Electrolux, a legendary expert from another plane, had been the Death God of Necromancy in his original world, only one step away from a true Divine Seat.

After his fall, all that remained of him was a faint remnant soul of exceptionally high essence, drifting through the endless void of the universe. This remnant soul carried the knowledge, experience, and part of the power he had accumulated throughout his life. It was his final mark upon the world.

And Lei Chen's target at this moment was precisely Electrolux's remnant soul, which would soon be drawn here by the enormous energy fluctuations produced by Skydream Iceworm's sacrifice!

If there was anything on Douluo Continent at this point in time that the God King seated high in the Divine Realm, who believed he controlled everything, could never predict or control, then this remnant soul of a God-level expert suddenly shattering through space from another plane was undoubtedly one of them!

In the original course of events known to Lei Chen, Tang San had arranged nearly every detail of Huo Yuhao's life. From Tang Wutong descending to the lower realm to the series of opportunities and trials that followed, everything lay within Tang San's calculations.

Only Electrolux, this "foreign object" from beyond the world, was the greatest accident in Tang San's plan. This accident not only gave Huo Yuhao the possibility of independent growth, but might even allow him to break free of the path Tang San had set for him.

And Tang San, a God King with an overwhelming desire for control, clearly would not allow anyone beyond his control to influence Huo Yuhao.

In the original story, Electrolux's remnant soul had initially stabilized within Huo Yuhao's Sea of Spirit under the nourishment of Life Gold and had begun recovering slowly. Everything had been moving in a positive direction.

Yet after Huo Yuhao merely visited the Haotian Sect—Tang San's most important extension and stronghold on the Douluo Plane—Electrolux inexplicably found himself in a desperate situation where he had no choice but to burn his own Divine Sense to save Huo Yuhao, ultimately fading away in sorrow.

Was that really a coincidence?

Not to mention that the lifesaving trump card Electrolux left Huo Yuhao was later completely destroyed in the "trial" led by Tang San at the Valley of Love Questions.

All of this demonstrated Tang San's determination to eliminate Electrolux, this "unstable factor."

What he needed was a "son-in-law" he could control completely, one who would grow according to his script—not a "child of fortune" with an independent will and unknown variables.

What Lei Chen intended to do now was naturally the opposite of Tang San. He would seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and intercept Electrolux the moment his remnant soul crossed the Plane Barrier and descended upon Douluo Star, before Tang San could possibly cast his gaze upon it!

At the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, Skydream Iceworm's sacrifice had reached its most critical moment. Immense spiritual power and life energy transformed into an invisible pillar of light that shot into the sky, even briefly disturbing the Plane Barrier.

Now!

As the Plane Lord, Lei Chen understood every minute spatial fluctuation and energy disturbance occurring within his plane.

He "saw" a minute spatial rift, so tiny it was nearly impossible to detect, quietly appear amid the energy ripples produced by the sacrifice. It emitted a faint gray glow.

A weak and peculiar soul fluctuation, carrying an energy attribute entirely different from anything in the Douluo Plane, drifted out from the rift like a dying candle in the wind, confusedly sensing this unfamiliar world.

This remnant soul was far too weak. Had Lei Chen not prepared in advance and used the authority of the Plane Lord to conduct the most precise scan, even he might have overlooked it. Like a grain of sand cast into the sea, it was nearly insignificant against the vast backdrop of cosmic energy.

Yet Lei Chen knew that this remnant soul possessed the potential to change many things.
