After a slight tremor, the Gold of Life suspended in mid-air fell silent once more.

Lin Mo stood with his hands behind his back, quietly watching the Gold of Life not far away.

The Gold of Life remained silent for a long time before finally, an ancient sigh emanated from within.

Under Lin Mo's gaze, wisps of gray energy surged out, eventually transforming into a white-robed old man with white hair and beard, holding a skull staff.

His face was withered and his body was slightly hunched, but his eyes were exceptionally bright.

Electrolux.

Electrolux sighed again, "Without this piece of Gold of Life that you provided, in my previous state, let alone recovering to my current state, it would have been difficult even to maintain the existence of my remnant soul."

They've probably long since vanished into nothingness, their souls scattered and their spirits dispersed.

"After all, I am but a remnant soul, not destined for reincarnation."

Lin Mo listened silently without interrupting the other person.

Seeing this, a hint of hesitation flashed in Electrolux's eyes. He looked up at Lin Mo and said solemnly, "My name is Electrolux, and I am not from this world. May I ask how you should address me?"

"I also have a few questions I'd like to ask you: How did you know of my existence, and even know my name so clearly?"

Electrolux was completely baffled.

If Lin Mo hadn't directly revealed his name and exposed his current situation, he wouldn't have had any plans to show himself in the outside world anytime soon.

It will likely choose to remain in a stable state of residual consciousness, just as before, pretending that it has not yet recovered, and continue to lie low inside the Gold of Life.

He used the power of the Gold of Life to nurture his remaining consciousness, waiting for it to continue to grow stronger.

Unexpectedly, before he could continue recovering, just as he was about to recover, Lin Mo directly exposed his mistake.

Lin Mo said, "Just call me Lin Mo. As for how I know about your existence or even your background?"

That just shows that the mountain man has a clever plan!

Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Electrolux's lips twitched visibly.

Is this person too lazy to even tell a lie?

Soon, Lin Mo's smile grew increasingly playful. Looking directly into Electrolux's eyes, he said, enunciating each word clearly, "And besides, it's hard for me not to know your name, Electrolux..."

Upon hearing this, Electrolux suddenly felt a strong sense of foreboding.

"Wait..." Electrolux instinctively tried to stop Lin Mo from speaking.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Lin Mo said playfully, "I hold the Sun Moon in my hands and pluck the stars from the sky; there is no one like me in this world!"

The Scourge of the Undead, the Holy Necromancer, Electrolux!

"How could I not know such a prestigious name?" Lin Mo retorted.

Upon hearing this, Electrolux blushed, overwhelmed with shame.

He is now filled with regret, extreme regret.

I regret it so much!

When I first regained consciousness, I couldn't control my foul mouth and started spouting nonsense.

Such a title is naturally very useful when facing opponents of the same level or those with lower strength, giving off a very prestigious aura.

Hearing this from the mouth of Lin Mo, a dignified deity, Electrolux could only feel embarrassed.

To claim oneself a deity before a god—isn't that like running into the very essence of the deity?

Although he was once only one step away from the realm of gods, he was simply unwilling to take that step.

In the Holy Demon Continent, becoming a god means spreading one's Dao throughout the world, which is completely different from the continent they currently inhabit.

The rule here is that becoming a god grants eternal life.

The person who once didn't want to become a god, but now, eager to become a god, has already lost the conditions to do so.

Thinking of this, Electrolux's eyes were filled with desolation.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Lin Mo looked up and stared directly into Electrolux's eyes, getting straight to the point:

" Electrolux, I can continue to lend you the Gold of Life to help you nurture this last vestige of consciousness..."

"I can even take the initiative to help you find any fragments of your divine consciousness that might be scattered throughout other parts of this continent, and try to restore your divine consciousness to its complete state..."

Upon hearing this, Electrolux remained silent for a long time before finally looking at Lin Mo and slowly saying:

"And what is the price, Your Excellency?"

He was once the pinnacle of the Holy Demon Continent, and his undead legion occupied almost a third of the entire Holy Demon Continent.

Electrolux knew all too well that there's no such thing as a free lunch!

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

The god's generosity moved Electrolux for a moment.

What exactly did this deity want from him, who was now just a remnant soul?

Is there really anything about myself that's worth pursuing?

Hearing this, Lin Mo scratched his head and sighed:

"I know you are from another world, a visitor from another world, a person from the Holy Demon Continent."

"What I want isn't difficult for you either. First, I want the complete inheritance of your Necromancy, and second, the Undead Demiplane you created."

"And most importantly, the information you have stored in your mind regarding the cultivation system of your home Holy Demon Continent!"

"Besides these, I'll need you to do things for me in the future. I need you to help me research some things. Don't worry, it won't be beyond your capabilities."

Lin Mo gave Electrolux a heads-up beforehand.

As someone who almost single-handedly developed the concept of Soul Spirit, which to some extent could replace Soul Ring.

Lin Mo had a lot of faith in Electrolux's research capabilities.

If Electrolux hadn't unfortunately encountered Snow Empress Xue Dan's turn of fortune, which prevented him from choosing to ignite his divine consciousness as fuel, he wouldn't have saved Huo Yuhao and his group.

Let Electrolux continue his research. Give him some time, and he might just be able to develop a true Artificial Soul Spirit, Artificial Soul Ring, and even Artificial Soul Bone!

It could be said that Lin Mo valued Electrolux's potential in scientific research more than its combat capabilities.

Electrolux has essentially maxed out his research capabilities and potential!

This is a top-tier gold card!

As for Lin Mo himself?

Lin Mo was well aware of his own limitations; he wasn't good at research, nor did he have the energy or time to devote to it!

It would be better to leave this task to the right person.

After listening to Lin Mo's words, Electrolux fell into a long silence.

Upon hearing more detailed information about himself from Lin Mo, Electrolux was deeply shaken.

He hadn't expected Lin Mo to know him so well.

Not only do they know his name, but they also have a very clear understanding of his background, his abilities, and his homeland, the Holy Demon Continent.

Electrolux quickly looked at Lin Mo and couldn't help but ask, " Lin Mo, could it be that your divine authority is omniscient and omnipotent?"

Otherwise, it's hard to explain why, the moment they met, it was as if Lin Mo had stripped him naked, and Lin Mo knew everything about him.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo smiled but did not reply.

Seeing that Lin Mo was unwilling to answer, Electrolux did not press further, and nodded before saying:

"Deal made. This is a risk-free deal for me, and besides, after the revival, I already planned to find a successor for my Necromancy."

"If I can make it flourish with your help, then I'll be the one benefiting from your efforts."

"Then it'll be a pleasure to cooperate," Lin Mo said with a smile.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, besides the Undead Demiplane that he coveted as a portable mini-world, Lin Mo also got everything else he wanted.

A complete lineage of Necromancy, and a cultivation system originating from the Holy Demon Continent.

Based on his understanding of Huo Yuhao, he believes that Huo Yuhao can later use incantations to cast Necromancy.

This means that not only Huo Yuhao, but also humans in this world can cast spells.

However, due to the limitations of mental strength, it is highly likely that only Soul Master can do it.

If that's the case, then in the future, besides orthodox Soul Master Soul Master Soul Engineer, this world might see the emergence of a new profession: the Mage.

Soon, Lin Mo lowered his gaze to Electrolux, his eyes shining. "Put Necromancy aside for now, let me see your unique Undead Demiplane first."

Electrolux paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."

A series of obscure incantations were uttered from his mouth, and before long, a pitch-black gate to the underworld suddenly appeared in the underground space of the Ancient Golden Tree.

Lin Mo's gaze fell on the door, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

Despite Lin Mo's deliberate control, the Charizard's shield did not prevent Electrolux from controlling the Undead Demiplane.

Soon, the Gate of the Undead slowly opened.

Gray mist seeped out from the crack in the door, and as the mist swirled, a dimly lit world could be vaguely seen behind it.

Electrolux extended an invitation. "Please!"

Lin Mo nodded and stepped inside without hesitation.

There are two sides to the story.

On the other side, Shrek Academy.

Huo Yuhao, who had just finished a day of training and returned to his hut to cultivate, suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Knock knock knock!

Huo Yuhao opened his eyes, pulling himself out of his meditative state.

He looked towards the door with some confusion. Who could be looking for him so late?

Huo Yuhao opened the door and saw the woman standing outside. A familiar and beautiful figure walked in.

It was his master's wife, the Snow Empress.

Huo Yuhao quickly stepped aside, his voice respectful. "Master's wife, what brings you here?"

Before Huo Yuhao could even greet him, he suddenly froze, his eyes widening in shock.

Because at that moment, following behind his master's wife, another petite girl walked in, whose features were exactly the same as his master's wife's.

Upon witnessing this scene, Huo Yuhao's mind went blank for a while.

Huo Yuhao was utterly shocked and blurted out, "What's going on? Master's wife, do you have the ability to create clones?"

On the other side, Snow Empress, a girl who was holding an iced drink she had taken from the Shrek Academy, almost choked on her water when she heard Huo Yuhao's words.

She coughed a few times, her snow-white eyes glaring angrily at Snow Empress: "So, you've already called her 'Master's Wife,' and you still dare to tell me you two are innocent?!"

The young Snow Empress's voice was clear and crisp, but at this moment it was stiff and full of anger.

Well, these two are putting on a show for themselves!

The Snow Empress Snow Empress her eyes at the young girl, ignoring her question, and looked at Huo Yuhao, saying, "Get ready, I'm going to take you to the Far North."

"You'll be staying there for a while, and during that time your cultivation should naturally break through to level 20, making you a quasi- Soul Grandmaster."

"As for your Spirit Eyes Martial Soul's Second Soul Ring, you will obtain it in the Far North!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's face lit up with joy, and he nodded repeatedly.

This was the fastest he had cultivated in the past month or so.

With the relentless bombardment of various rare and precious medicinal materials, including rare pills that wouldn't damage the foundation, and the added blessing of a 70,000-year-old, top-quality Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone.

He knows of several pills by name, including the Mystic Water Pill, the Spirit Ascension Pill, and the Black Tortoise Divine Pill...

It can be said that the results of his cultivation in the past month or so are equivalent to his cultivation in the past six years!

His cultivation level has now reached level nineteen, and he is only one step away from breaking through to become a quasi- Soul Grandmaster.

Soon, the three of them left Shrek Academy and headed towards the Far North.

Meanwhile, Lin Mo, who had successfully entered the Undead Demiplane, was looking around at his surroundings with great interest.

This is a dimly lit world; everywhere you look, it's a gray and gloomy expanse.

A strange sun floated in the sky; it was entirely black, radiating an eerie purple light.

This is why the light is exceptionally dim throughout the entire Undead Demiplane.

The terrain here is undulating, and as far as the eye can see, everything is barren, without any vegetation.

The earth was pitch black, as if it had been stained with thick ink.

The environment here is even more unusual Slaughter City Lin Mo had visited before. After all, even the Slaughter City was a place where living people lived.

This is a pure world of the dead, the territory of undead creatures.

If any weakling were to stray into this place, even if they managed to escape the jaws of the undead creatures, they would eventually be corrupted by the omnipresent aura of the dead and become undead themselves.

As far as the eye could see, Lin Mo had already spotted quite a few undead creatures.

Low-level skeletons and zombies, higher-level abominations Terror Knight, and there seem to be a few Bone Dragon circling in this demiplane.

These Bone Dragon, whose strength is at most equivalent to a Level 95 Titled Douluo, are the strongest beings that can be bred in this Undead Demiplane.

Sensing the rules governing this space, Lin Mo shook his head.

The space here is too fragile; if he hadn't deliberately concealed his aura and power the moment he arrived, he would have been in danger.

The mere release of divine power would likely destroy this world.

While the stability of this space is much stronger than that of a typical demi-plane, it is far inferior to that of a main plane like Douluo Continent.

Soon, Lin Mo's gaze Lock-On onto the black sun in the Undead Demiplane!

If he's not mistaken, this is the core of this realm, the Undead Core!
