The "Luck" Die Began to Take Effect

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

"From your words and the pressure you exude, I can tell that this strand of divine consciousness was extraordinarily powerful when you were alive, far beyond anything I could imagine. That is why I am willing to use this Fate Die in exchange for a chance to have you become my protector."

Lu Yuan did not hide anything. Instead, he frankly revealed his true purpose to Electrolux—he needed a powerful protector. After all, before someone as strong as Electrolux, concealment would only be the most foolish choice.

"You are willing to trust the words of a stranger you have only known for a short time? To use such a precious Fate Die from the Great Tortoise Shell Technique?" After hearing Lu Yuan's explanation, Electrolux's expression showed a trace of understanding, but he continued to ask.

"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 honestly 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.

"The light told me that you can be trusted!"

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

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

He simply had not expected that this Martial Soul of Lu Yuan's corresponded to the Son of Light physique, which appeared only once in a century on the Holy Demon Continent!

Could this be the will of heaven? After Haochen and Caier, heaven had sent him another child willing to treat others with sincerity—a child who possessed the Great Tortoise Shell Technique and could perfectly inherit his legacy.

At that thought, Electrolux no longer hesitated. He immediately said, "Xiaoyuan, you do not need to call me Senior anymore. You may call me Elder Yi or Electrolux. Since you are so candid, I cannot betray your trust!"

"I, Electrolux, swear to heaven!" Electrolux raised a finger as he swore. "I, Electrolux, shall protect Lu Yuan until he ascends to godhood. Should I break this oath, may heaven and earth destroy me!"

"Elder Yi, why go so far?"

Lu Yuan was both startled and delighted. Everything he had said and done had originally been intended to win Elder Yi's trust, yet he had never expected Electrolux to respond to his sincerity by making such a grave oath.

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

Elder Yi waved a hand, signaling Lu Yuan not to say more. He continued, "I have only just restored my Divine Sense and need time to sort through my memories. Your Martial Soul is extremely compatible with some inheritances within those 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 moment!"

"Thank you, Elder Yi!"

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

Having successfully snatched Elder Yi away, 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 soul beast called the Bright Butterfly. They had granted him a soul skill called Wings of Light and another called Blade of Light, providing him with decent aerial mobility and offensive power in the early stages.

As for his third Soul Ring, the original Lu Yuan had made some plans of his own. However, 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. There was no need for him to worry about coordinating the skill slots of nine Soul Rings, so some of his original plans had lost their meaning.

However, the effect of the "Luck" die that he had thrown 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 believe in the power of luck. After silently repeating, I want a soul beast suitable for my third Soul Ring, several times, he randomly picked a direction and began wandering deeper into Star Dou Forest.

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

That aura... was it some divine official from the God Realm? Or had a third-rank god descended to the mortal world?

The Silver Dragon King cautiously probed the aura, uncertain and alarmed.

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

After pondering for a moment, the Silver Dragon King sent a message through Divine Sense. "Di Tian, I have detected the aura of a human god within Star Dou Forest. I do not yet know that person's identity. Hurry and bring the Auspicious Beast back. For the time being, have her stay obediently within the Lake of Life."

"Yes, Lord!" A tall, black-clad man with golden eyes answered. He was none other than Di Tian, the Beast God and foremost of the ten great fierce beasts of Star Dou Great Forest.

Terrifying spiritual power spread outward, and he swiftly locked onto the location of the Auspicious Beast's guardian, Scarlet King, before rushing over at high speed.

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

As the Imperial Auspicious Beast, no matter how powerful a soul beast was, it could only bow before her in obedience and would never harm her. Soul beasts chosen by her as food, aside from fleeing, did not even dare resist. Of them all, what she loved most was the brain matter of light-attributed soul beasts.

Just as she was about to end the game and kill the soul beast, the Eye of Destiny suddenly stirred. A blurry human figure appeared in her mind, accompanied by an intimate, sweet fragrance.

Was this destiny's guidance? This light-attributed human smelled so delicious—

After secretly glancing at Scarlet King, who was guarding her in the shadows, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion discovered that he was dozing off. Taking advantage of Scarlet King's inattention, she picked up the half-dead soul beast from the ground and followed the vague feeling, plunging headfirst into the forest.

"Scarlet King, where is the Auspicious Beast?"

A majestic voice sounded beside Scarlet King. It was Di Tian, who had rushed over at high speed.

Scarlet King, who had been dozing, jolted in alarm. When he saw Di Tian's grave expression, he hurriedly pointed toward the nearby forest. "The Auspicious Beast should be eating over there."

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

Bang!

Before Scarlet King could finish, Di Tian struck toward that patch of forest. The powerful Soul Power instantly snapped a swath of surrounding trees, but there was no sign of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion within.

"Scarlet King, I asked you where the Auspicious Beast is."

"I..." Scarlet King's expression froze at the sight.

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

Seeing 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.

In the past, there had been occasions when the Auspicious Beast grew tired of their supervision and secretly slipped away to play. But times were different now—there was a human god moving through Star Dou Forest!

At that thought, Di Tian's expression darkened further. Yet if the Auspicious Beast truly wished to hide, with 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!"

Upon hearing Di Tian's order, Scarlet King scrambled up in panic, revealed his true form, and dashed toward the territory where King of Ten Thousand Demons resided. Di Tian, meanwhile, swept his sleeve, and terrifying Divine Sense spread outward without the slightest concealment.
