"What a strange child. I've never met anyone like you before," the gray aura continued gently. "But, for some reason, I quite like you, a strange kind of liking."
Huo Yuhao muttered to himself, "Teacher, does it have to be so flashy?"
Looking at his former self in the Sea of Consciousness, he rubbed his forehead. " Yuhao, you handle this yourself. I need to calm myself down."
Huo Yuhao chuckled awkwardly twice and continued to transmit his voice, "Teacher, even you can't stand it anymore, can you?"
The gray current said, "Alright, then I'll guess. I sense something from you. You don't belong to this world, do you?"
Huo Yuhao said frankly, "That's right."
"Your eyes are so familiar, so gentle," he suddenly realized something, but couldn't believe it. He joked, "You wouldn't happen to be my child, would you?"
Huo Yuhao smiled gently, "If you think about it that way, it doesn't seem to be a problem. After all, you've noticed that I possess necromancy, and as the leader of all necromancy, it's not unreasonable to consider you half a child, is it?"
The gray aura of Electrolux said cheerfully, "You little rascal, you're quite the smooth talker. Although I don't know your identity yet," it paused, "But when you both reach the top of the Tower of Eternity and you truly see me, I'll probably be able to hear and know your answer, right?"
"This is the first time I've felt so at ease with someone's presence. Your background must be extraordinary. Can you grant my wish? Young man, what is your identity, and what is our relationship?"
Huo Yuhao said, "At that time, as you wish, your wish is sometimes my wish as well."
Electrolux's voice, tinged with a mixture of helplessness and anticipation, came through the gray aura. "Alright then." It sighed again, then paused.
It piqued my curiosity, but I had to suppress it. The wait was agonizing. That child was almost done with their attribute test. You don't need to be tested; come along too. This is my special permission for you.
"My dear disciple, now I grant you permission to be my disciple, regardless of your current status or position."
On the other side, Long Haochen also successfully completed his attribute test. The gray-haired aura of Electrolux looked at him in surprise, "You're not bad either, little guy. I've allowed you to be my disciple. You are my most ideal disciple besides the young man beside you, a necromancer who, like me, possesses the attribute of light."
Ah, what a perfect legacy, a perfect encounter!
"I've actually encountered two of the best disciples, especially you," he said, pointing at Huo Yuhao. "Although there are many things about you that I can't see clearly, my intuition is never wrong. You are more important than the weight of this world. I see a lot in your eyes, child."
"Your future path will inevitably lead you to godhood. Bearing destiny, you will ultimately become a god. With my complete mantle, you will become the most powerful Holy Necromancer. You will eventually surpass me and reach even greater achievements, achievements that are unattainable. You will grasp the Sun Moon and pluck the stars from the sky. There is no other god like me in this world."
Huo Yuhao said, "Teacher, you flatter me." His eyes flickered slightly. He had never forgotten his initial goal. "Let the sky no longer obscure my vision, let the earth no longer bury my heart, I want all living beings to submit, and I will be the one who holds the Sun Moon in his hands and plucks the stars from the sky."
Electrolux, shrouded in gray air, laughed heartily and said, "You're quite perceptive, aren't you? The more I look at you, the more pleasing you become, hahaha, really good, really good."
It then spoke in Long Haochen's direction, "You are no ordinary person either, my dear other disciple. You possess divine favor and light; you are Child of Light. A necromancer who achieves enlightenment through the work of a Child of Light is indeed a remarkable legacy."
A small wisp of gray energy dispersed and landed in Huo Yuhao's hand. When he looked at it, he saw that it was a necklace.
Composed of dozens of sparkling white gemstones strung together, it radiates a pure white halo. The warm light instantly dispelled the deathly gloom within the tower, bathing the entire space in sacred light.
It must contain an extremely rich amount of light elements, which are so gentle that they can be felt even when you get very close.
With a hint of mischief in his voice, the gray aura of Electrolux explained the object's origin, "So, my dear apprentice, this is my keepsake, it has been with me for eight hundred and ninety-six years, until the moment I fall into slumber."
"Remember, don't let the people of the Brilliant Holy See see it. It's made from the skull of the first Pope of the Brilliant Holy See, which I dug up from their holy tomb. Haha, just thinking about the faces of those people from the Brilliant Holy See makes me happy. This necklace is called Eternal Melody; it's the key to unlock this place, the Eternal Slumber."
"If you have absolutely trustworthy partners in the future who can bring them here for training—of course, provided that none of them are people with the darkest, most despicable attributes that I hate most—otherwise, this place will become their graveyard—then from this moment on, you will be the new master of this Eternal Slumber."
When Electrolux saw in the Sea of Consciousness that he had acknowledged Huo Yuhao, he was filled with mixed emotions, and a smile spread across his face. It would be good if Yuhao could inherit the Tower of Eternity.
Actually, this was also Electrolux's own selfish reason, because Huo Yuhao was a very good disciple, and he had long regarded him as his family as he had grown up with him.
Although Long Haochen and the others were his disciples, they lacked experience. Huo Yuhao was completely willing to die for Electrolux, and Electrolux was also willing to die for Huo Yuhao. The two had long been like master and father.
That brings us to the question of whether you would give your possessions to your disciple or your son. Of course, it would be great if Huo Yuhao could inherit the Tower of Eternity in this world.
However, Huo Yuhao placed the necklace in Long Haochen's hand, which startled Electrolux, who quickly transmitted his voice through his Sea of Consciousness, " Yuhao, what are you doing?"
After Long Haochen received the results, the abundant light elements almost completely replenished all the Spiritual Energy consumed by the Holy Guidance Spirit Furnace, instantly recharging it. " Yuhao, what are you doing?"
The gray aura Electrolux visibly paused for a moment, then said, "Oh? You are unwilling to be the master of this Eternal Slumber, my dear disciple?"
Huo Yuhao smiled gently at Long Haochen and said, " Haochen, I'll leave this to you. I don't have many friends, and with my strength, this place wouldn't be of much use to me. On the contrary, perhaps this is your opportunity. You're my friend, so if you want to come in, I can come with you."
A burst of gray energy emanated from Electrolux, whose hearty laughter echoed within the Tower of Eternity. "Hahaha, interesting, very interesting indeed. You little fellow are quite interesting."
"Very well, since you are willing to dedicate this Eternal Melody to your companions, then I will allow you free access to the Eternal Slumber, even without a key. Your character impresses me, my dear disciple, you truly are the student I have chosen."
