Just as Electrolux hesitated, Lu Yuan slowly took out a piece of Life Gold.
Electrolux: "!!!"
The instant the Life Gold appeared, a rich aura of life spread out, dispelling much of the deathly aura Electrolux had brought with him.
The aura of Life Gold made both Gu Qiu'er and Xiao Xiao feel much better.
Lu Yuan released his Martial Soul, looked at the mass of black mist in the sky, and said, "Senior, I don't know who you are, but I can sense that your deathly aura is somewhat similar to my Abyssal Power."
"Perhaps we might have something in common to talk about. What do you think?"
Electrolux looked at the phantom of the Lord of Eclipsing Origin Flame behind Lu Yuan and fell into thought.
Abyss?
Was it some other kind of dark power?
Electrolux slowly said, "Young friend, aren't you afraid that I might attack you?"
"I have ways to protect myself."
"I want to know, what is the Abyss?"
Lu Yuan said solemnly, "My Abyss is the hatred of all fates that never came to pass."
"There are many things in this world that conflict with one another. When one thing happens, it means another possibility is erased."
"It can be something insignificant, or something large enough to threaten the world."
"Among countless universes, there is always one most perfect thread of fate. Yet you are the one who was not chosen. The hatred born from that is the Abyss."
All the fates that failed to happen, the abandoned possibilities, the accumulated unwillingness and hatred—those were the Abyss?
Electrolux was dazed for a moment.
Wasn't his own life itself a branch of fate abandoned by the world?
He should have been the Child of Light, revered by all, living peacefully with his beloved and enjoying his family's stability and glory. But that beautiful fate had been severed by human hands.
Betrayed by his beloved, with his entire family slaughtered and the whole world branding him a traitor, that kind and gentle Electrolux would never return...
"This old man... can cooperate with you!"
Just as Electrolux was about to enter Lu Yuan's mind, Lu Yuan raised a hand to stop him.
"Hey! Not here!"
Electrolux: "???"
"I prepared a luxurious suite for you!"
Holding the Abyss-Eroding Profound Blade, Lu Yuan slashed through the air and tore open a rift.
Beyond the rift was an endless expanse of black and purple. A few creatures glimmering with violet-black light wandered within it.
Even the rift itself constantly spewed black mist.
Even Electrolux, the Holy Necromancer, could not help sucking in a cold breath at the sight of this Abyssal Rift.
Lu Yuan smiled. "It's a little dark, but it's absolutely safe. I'll put the Life Gold in there too!"
Coming back to his senses, Electrolux asked, "Young friend... this... is this your small plane?"
Were young people in this world really this formidable?
Could someone so young already open up a small plane?
"Mm... more or less? Senior, please come in!"
"This old man is Electrolux!"
Electrolux gave Lu Yuan one final look before flying into the Abyssal Rift.
After casually tossing a piece of Life Gold inside, Lu Yuan swung his sword again and closed the Abyssal Rift.
Gu Qiu'er and Xiao Xiao, standing nearby, were both dumbfounded.
Gu Qiu'er grabbed Lu Yuan by the shoulders and shook him. "Lu Yuan, are you crazy?!"
"You don't even know what he is, and you dared to take him in?!"
Xiao Xiao also asked worriedly, "Brother Lu Yuan, should we go back and ask Teacher?"
Lu Yuan shook his head. "No need. We only just came out, and going back now would be such a hassle!"
"Besides, I know what I'm doing! You two know about my Abyssal Space."
Gu Qiu'er and Xiao Xiao exchanged looks and nodded helplessly.
Lu Yuan's Abyssal Space had been unlocked when he broke through to Soul King. The two of them had even gone inside back then.
But the aura within had been far too oppressive, and they simply could not endure it.
Even their master, Sister Na, had entered it back then, yet she had not managed to figure out the Abyssal Space either.
Gu Yuena had merely told Lu Yuan to use it less and wait until his cultivation was higher before slowly exploring and studying it.
Gu Qiu'er looked around. Apart from the three of them, only Huo Yuhao lay on the ground.
She said, "Alright, it seems there's nothing else to do. Let's head out."
Xiao Xiao pointed at Huo Yuhao on the ground and asked, "What about this person?"
Lu Yuan spread his hands. "Leave him. Since Tian Meng chose to sacrifice himself to him, he must have something exceptional about him."
"Besides, he already has a Million-Year Soul Beast sacrificing itself for him, and he still expects us to save him? How can anyone be that lucky? He can't take all the good things for himself, can he?"
Xiao Xiao and Gu Qiu'er: "..."
Seeing their expressions, Lu Yuan said, "What kind of looks are those? Am I wrong?"
"Didn't you two get quite a bit of Spiritual Origin too?"
Gu Qiu'er crossed her arms over her chest. "I snatched two hundred and fifty thousand years' worth!"
Xiao Xiao raised her hand and smiled. "I only snatched one hundred thousand years' worth!"
"But I also got this!"
Xiao Xiao took Tian Meng's shed husk from her Storage Soul Tool.
Lu Yuan gave Xiao Xiao a thumbs-up. "Xiao Xiao, you've got a good eye! The shed husk of a Million-Year Ice Silkworm is a great treasure!"
"Hehe!"
Xiao Xiao gave a sweet smile.
"Brother Lu Yuan, does that mean you snatched the most Spiritual Origin? What is this stuff used for?"
Lu Yuan explained, "This is the Million-Year spiritual origin of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, the essence of his existence. Not only can it raise spiritual power, it can also increase the age of existing Soul Rings and even nourish the body!"
"Wow! It's that good?"
Xiao Xiao exclaimed, her big eyes turning starry.
So Tian Meng, this power bank, was actually that useful?!
No wonder that back at the Lake of Life, whenever she saw Lord Bear and the others absorbing Tian Meng's vital energy, they always looked so pleased.
Lu Yuan sat cross-legged on the ground. "I'll show you!"
Xiao Xiao nodded repeatedly and watched without blinking.
Gu Qiu'er also looked over with a haughty expression.
Lu Yuan's consciousness looked at the six platinum-white orbs in his Mental Sea. With a thought, he tore a small opening in one of them.
Some pure Spiritual Origin slowly flowed out, cascading down into the Mental Sea like a waterfall.
Lu Yuan channeled this incomparably pure Spiritual Origin into his own Soul Rings.
In the outside world, six Soul Rings rose around Lu Yuan: purple, purple, black, black, black, and red.
But soon, the colors of Lu Yuan's first and second Soul Rings changed, shifting from purple to black.
Then his fifth Soul Ring changed from a black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring into a red Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.
Xiao Xiao's eyes widened at the sight.
A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring! How many Soul Masters dreamed of having such a thing?!
Within Huo Yuhao's Mental Sea, Huo Yuhao had fallen asleep, but Tian Meng had not!
Having just suffered such a blow, how could Tian Meng possibly have been in the mood to sleep?
He had been keeping watch on the situation outside, intending to wake Huo Yuhao after Lu Yuan and the others left.
But what Tian Meng had not expected was that not only were the three of them in no hurry to leave, they actually stayed behind and used his Spiritual Origin right in front of him!
He was like a useless husband, watching others use his own origin while being unable to do anything...
Yamero! You three bastards!!
Stop it!
Tian Meng's eyes were about to split with fury!
Tian Meng's eyes turned bloodshot!
Tian Meng panted like a bull!
