The "Luck" Die Began to Take Effect

"Because I need a powerful protector, Senior!" Lu Yuan answered.

"From your words and the pressure you exude, Senior, I can tell that this fragment of Divine Sense of yours must have been extraordinarily powerful in life, far beyond anything I could imagine. Therefore, I am willing to use this Destiny Die to trade for a chance to have you become my protector."

Lu Yuan did not conceal anything. Instead, he frankly revealed his true purpose to Electrolux—he needed a powerful protector. After all, before an expert like Electrolux, trying to hide things would only be the foolishest choice.

"You were willing to trust the words of a stranger you had only just met? To use such a precious Destiny Die from the Great Tortoise Shell Technique?" After hearing Lu Yuan's explanation, Electrolux's expression gained a trace of understanding, but he continued asking.

"Because of my intuition, because of my Martial Soul, and because when you saw my Great Tortoise Shell Technique, you did not think of taking it by force. Instead, you truthfully told me of its drawbacks."

As he spoke, Lu Yuan took the initiative to release his Martial Soul. A pure aura of light began to rise, while two dazzling Soul Rings, one yellow and one purple, emerged beneath his feet.

"Light tells me that you can be trusted!"

This was... the aura of a Son of Light?!

When he entered Lu Yuan's Spirit Sea, Electrolux had briefly scanned the surface of Lu Yuan's memories. He knew that this continent differed from the Holy Demon Continent and possessed a peculiar innate talent known as a "Martial Soul." Lu Yuan's Martial Soul was called the Light Elemental, a Martial Soul capable of controlling light elements.

He had simply never expected that this Martial Soul corresponded to the Son of Light physique, something that appeared only once in a century on the Holy Demon Continent!

Could this be the Will of Heaven? After Haochen and Caier, the heavens had sent me another child willing to treat others sincerely—a child who possessed the Great Tortoise Shell Technique and could perfectly inherit my legacy.

Thinking of this, Electrolux no longer hesitated and immediately said, "Xiao Yuan, you need not call me Senior anymore. You may call me Elder Yi or Electrolux. Since you are so forthright, I cannot betray your trust!"

"I, Electrolux, swear to heaven!" Electrolux raised his fingers and swore. "I, Electrolux, shall protect Lu Yuan on his path until he ascends to godhood. Should I violate this oath, may heaven and earth destroy me!"

"Elder Yi, there is no need for this!"

Lu Yuan was both shocked and delighted. Everything he had said and done had originally been meant to win Elder Yi's trust, yet he had never expected Electrolux to be willing to make such a grave oath in response to his sincerity.

"Xiao Yuan, say no more. You helped restore my Divine Sense, which is already a kindness to me. This is merely what I ought to do."

Elder Yi waved a hand, indicating that Lu Yuan need not say anything further. He continued, "I have only just restored my Divine Sense and need to sort through my memories. Your Martial Soul is extremely compatible with some of the inheritances in my memories. If you are willing, I can teach them all to you. During this time, if you encounter danger, do not panic. I can act at any time!"

"Thank you, Elder Yi!"

Hearing this, Lu Yuan was overjoyed. He immediately withdrew from his Spirit Sea, leaving Elder Yi some space to slowly recover his memories.

After successfully poaching Elder Yi, Lu Yuan finally had time to begin planning for his third Soul Ring.

Lu Yuan's first two Soul Rings had both come from a member of the Soul Beasts called the Bright Butterfly. They had respectively granted him the soul skills Wings of Light and Blade of Light, giving him decent aerial mobility and offensive power in the early stages.

As for his third Soul Ring, the original Lu Yuan had some plans of his own. But after meeting Elder Yi and gaining the inheritance of Elder Yi's Light Magic, Lu Yuan felt that his skill slots would definitely far exceed those of ordinary Soul Masters. He no longer needed to worry about fitting skills into the nine Soul Ring skill slots, so some of his original plans had lost their meaning.

However, the effect of the "Luck" die he had cast with the Great Tortoise Shell Technique to attract Elder Yi's attention was still active. The effect of the "Luck" die was that anyone within the Great Tortoise Shell Technique's range would have good luck for ten minutes.

With no particular ideas in mind, Lu Yuan decided to trust in the power of luck. After silently repeating several times, I want a member of the Soul Beasts suitable for my third Soul Ring, he casually picked a direction and began wandering deeper into the Star Dou Forest.

Not long ago, the Divine Sense fluctuations released when Electrolux recovered caused a being in the deepest reaches of the Star Dou Forest to open her eyes.

This aura... which Divine Official from the God Realm was it? Or had a Third-Level God descended to the lower realm?

The Silver Dragon King cautiously probed this aura, uncertain and suspicious.

However, Elder Yi had immediately withdrawn his aura, so the Silver Dragon King was unable to discover anything.

After pondering for a moment, the Silver Dragon King transmitted through Divine Sense, "Di Tian, I sensed the aura of a human deity within the Star Dou Forest. I do not yet know their exact identity. Go and bring the Auspicious Beast back at once. For the time being, have her stay obediently within the Lake of Life."

"Yes, Lord!" At her words, a tall man in black with golden eyes answered. He was none other than Di Tian, the Beast God and leader of the Star Dou Great Forest's Ten Fierce Beasts.

Terrifying spiritual power spread outward. He quickly locked onto the location of the Auspicious Beast's guardian, the Scarlet King, and rushed there at high speed.

At that moment, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was toying with a light-attributed member of the Soul Beasts of roughly five thousand years of cultivation. Once she had had enough fun, she intended to make this unlucky fellow her lunch for the day.

As the Imperial Auspicious Beast, no matter how powerful a member of the Soul Beasts was, it could only bow to her obediently and would never harm her. Any member of the Soul Beasts she selected as food, aside from fleeing, would never dare resist. Of all of them, what she loved most was the brains of light-attributed members of the Soul Beasts.

Just as she was preparing to end the game and kill the member of the Soul Beasts, a fluctuation suddenly came from her Eye of Destiny. A blurry figure appeared in her mind, accompanied by an intimate, sweet scent.

Guidance from destiny? This light-attributed human smells so delicious—

She secretly glanced at the Scarlet King, who was guarding her from the shadows, and found that he was dozing off. Taking advantage of his inattention, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion picked up the half-dead member of the Soul Beasts from the ground in her jaws and followed the vague feeling, plunging headfirst into the forest.

"Scarlet King, where is the Auspicious Beast?"

A majestic voice rang out beside the Scarlet King. It was Di Tian, who had arrived at top speed.

The dozing Scarlet King jolted awake in alarm. Seeing Di Tian's stern expression, he hurriedly pointed toward the woods nearby. "The Auspicious Beast should be eating over there."

"You know," the Scarlet King explained with an awkward grin after being caught slacking off by his superior, "the Auspicious Beast does not like anyone following her while she eats, so I just—"

Bang!

Before the Scarlet King could finish, Di Tian struck toward that patch of woods. Powerful Soul Power snapped the surrounding trees in an instant, yet the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was nowhere to be seen within.

"Scarlet King, I am asking you: where is the Auspicious Beast?"

"I..." The Scarlet King's face stiffened at the sight.

"Search! Search for her! Go notify King of Ten Thousand Demons and have him mobilize the plants in the forest to look for her. I will search personally!"

Seeing the Scarlet King in this state, Di Tian knew that venting his anger was useless now. The most important thing was to find the Auspicious Beast first.

There had been times before when the Auspicious Beast had grown impatient with their supervision and slipped away to play on her own. But things were different now. A human deity was moving about within the Star Dou Forest!

At this thought, Di Tian's expression darkened further. Yet if the Auspicious Beast truly wanted to hide, given her unique nature, Di Tian and the others would not be able to find her anytime soon.

"Yes, Di Tian, I'll go at once!"

Hearing Di Tian's command, the Scarlet King scrambled to reveal his true form and raced toward the territory of King of Ten Thousand Demons, while Di Tian swept his sleeve. Terrifying Divine Sense spread outward without the slightest concealment.
