Fusion with the Undead Demiplane, the Opportunity to Break Through to First-level God!

"A wise choice." Approval rippled through Lei Chen's luminous silhouette. "Then let us use our divine stations as collateral and the laws as witness to forge this pact!"

As his words fell, Lei Chen's luminous silhouette suddenly brightened. Golden runes containing the origin laws of the Douluo Plane emerged from the void, intertwining like chains.

At the same time, Electrolux's remnant soul voluntarily separated a thread of its most core origin imprint. Though faint, it carried the lingering essence of the unique laws of death and annihilation within his demiplane.

The golden law runes and gray origin imprint met and entwined in the air, ultimately transforming into an ancient and profound contract mark containing the will and promise of both parties. It split in two, merging separately into Lei Chen's luminous silhouette and Electrolux's remnant soul.

An invisible binding force quietly formed, yet it carried a strange sense of harmony, signifying that this transaction spanning planes had officially been concluded.

With a slight stir of Lei Chen's will, the pure Life Origin Force flowing through the surrounding interplanar layer seemed to answer a summons, gathering with even greater force and saturating the halo surrounding the gray remnant soul until it became increasingly brilliant and warm.

"Now that the pact has been made, I shall first help you stabilize the foundation of your divine soul." Lei Chen's voice echoed through the space.

The vast life energy acted like the finest of craftsmen, carefully nourishing and repairing Electrolux's soul essence, which was riddled with cracks. Its faint halo visibly grew several degrees more solid.

Feeling the long-lost comfort and stability emanating from his divine soul, Electrolux's remnant soul conveyed a ripple of gratitude. Lei Chen then got straight to the point. "Lord Electrolux, now that the contract is set, we should not delay."

"Can you currently open a stable passage to your demiplane? I need to first confirm its coordinates and condition so I can plan the fusion."

"I will do my utmost." Electrolux answered without hesitation. Though his divine soul was damaged, relying on that indestructible essential connection with his own demiplane, opening a passage there was not difficult.

At the core of the gray halo, a point of deep, ghostly light suddenly lit up, rapidly spreading like ink dropped into water.

Gray lines containing the unique rhythms of the laws of death and annihilation appeared in the void, intertwining and flowing. At last, within the sphere of Life Origin, they steadily formed a complex, slowly rotating gray six-pointed star.

At the center of the pattern, space slightly collapsed, forming a dark, tranquil entrance. From the other side of the passage came a faint aura utterly unlike the vibrant vitality of the Douluo Plane—an aura of desolation, coldness, and eternal slumber.

"The passage is open." Electrolux's thoughts carried a trace of fatigue, but remained exceptionally clear. "This is the path to my demiplane. However, my current condition is poor, and I cannot maintain it for long."

"No matter. This is enough." Lei Chen's luminous silhouette gazed at the gray six-pointed star as the Plane Lord's perception extended through the passage.

The instant his perception crossed through, an aura of laws completely different from those of the Douluo Plane washed over him.

This was a dim world. In the sky hung a bizarre sun, entirely black and surrounded by mysterious purple radiance. It was this faint purple light that provided the only dim illumination for the land.

The ground was black soil, as though stained with ink. The terrain rose and fell irregularly, utterly barren, with no vegetation in sight. Only a cold, desolate aura surged continuously from every direction.

Through Lei Chen's perception, this demiplane was indeed far from complete, just as Electrolux had said.

It possessed solid earth, but no true sky. The world's boundaries were a heart-palpitating darkness and void that swallowed any matter touching them, while the passage Electrolux had left behind acted as a stable spatial coordinate anchored here.

Lei Chen's perception swiftly swept across the land. There were no rivers, lakes, or seas, no lush vegetation—only scattered bizarre plants emitting faint phosphorescent flames, along with dark rivers that flowed slowly and contained corrosive energy.

All kinds of undead creatures wandered across the ground—zombies that moved slowly but possessed astonishing strength, ghosts that drifted unpredictably and emitted mental fluctuations, skeletons with hard bones and soul fire dancing in their eyes...

There was everything from the lowest-ranking mindless walking corpses to powerful beings whose auras even made Lei Chen take slight notice.

Just as I knew... Lei Chen mused inwardly, focusing his perception on several places where the auras were particularly powerful.

Some enormous and terrifying undead occupied those areas, their bodies wreathed in tangible death energy. By the standards of the Douluo Plane, their energy levels had astonishingly reached Ninth Rank—equivalent to Titled Douluo!

This discovery once again made Lei Chen marvel at Electrolux's extraordinary talent.

"Incredible... Electrolux, the world you created is truly astonishing."

"Though it is merely a demiplane, its laws are still incomplete, and it lacks the ultimate potential for self-circulation and evolution, its stability and upper limit of power far exceed the scope of a 'demiplane.' It is likely only a few crucial steps away from becoming a true, complete plane capable of reproducing and developing on its own."

What did a demiplane capable of stably supporting Ninth Rank undead creatures signify?

One had to know that the Douluo Plane under Lei Chen's control, as a mature and complete plane, only permitted an individual power limit of Peak Ninth Rank under its world laws.

Yet this Undead Demiplane, a "semi-finished product," possessed sufficient scale and law strength to support the existence and activity of Ninth Rank creatures. This alone showed how formidable it was.

In fact, according to Lei Chen's assessment through his planar perception, the total energy and completeness of laws within this Undead Demiplane were roughly equivalent to thirty percent of the entire Douluo Plane!

"Thirty percent..." The number echoed in Lei Chen's mind, bringing him indescribable delight.

As the current Plane Lord of the Douluo Plane, his strength was directly tied to the plane's power. He was currently at the Peak Second-level God stage. If he could completely devour and fuse this Undead Demiplane, which was equivalent to thirty percent of the Douluo Plane's scale, then the Douluo Plane Origin would surely undergo an enormous, leap-like increase!

At that point, as the Plane Lord, breaking through the shackles of Second-level God and entering the domain of First-level God in one stroke would be a certainty!

Within the Divine Realm's hierarchy, there was a qualitative gap between Second-level God and First-level God. A Second-level God might be considered powerful, but before a First-level God, he could only be regarded as a minor fry.

First-level Gods were different. Even within the Divine Realm, a First-level God could be called the chief god of a domain.
