Taking a Master

"Holy crap, where are my clothes?!"

Bao Liang hurriedly paced around the secret room twice, feeling an overwhelming sense of shame.

Unexpectedly, the moment the nine-colored giant egg shattered, the only clothes he was wearing turned into starlight and vanished along with the eggshell, leaving him with not even a pair of underwear.

Fortunately, he took off all his Storage Soul Tool and threw them aside before he made his move; otherwise, he might really be going out naked to find clothes now.

Bao Liang quickly put on the clothes and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After straightening his clothes, he turned to Electrolux somewhat embarrassedly and said, "Ahaha... Well, Elder Yi, I'm sorry you had to see this."

Electrolux stroked his beard and smiled, giving him a look of interest before saying, "It's alright, everyone goes through this."

"I never expected that you, at your age, would still act like such a little kid, so thin-skinned."

"Please don't tease me, Elder Yi." Bao Liang waved his hands repeatedly, his cheeks slightly flushed.

"By the way, Elder Yi, you've made such a big commotion for me, are you alright? And why do I feel like something's wrong with my heart? It feels like there's something extra inside?"

Electrolux waved his hand, looking quite smug. "I didn't suffer much, but you've benefited immensely."

"Xiao Liang, do you know the condition of your heart right now?"

"The Heart of Creation...?" Bao Liang subconsciously touched his chest and murmured to himself.

"That's right, the Heart of Creation." Electrolux nodded, a hint of undisguised shock in his eyes. "The one who wields the Power of Creation is the core of the authority over creation."

"Logically speaking, the authority of creation is extremely difficult to attain; ordinary beings might not even come close to it in their entire lives."

"But from your memories, I've observed that in your Douluo Continent, the fusion of the two fundamental forces of Destruction and life actually gave birth to the Heart of Creation."

"Having lived for so many years, I've certainly seen a lot."

He abruptly changed the subject, his tone becoming unusually serious. "However, Xiao Liang, let me remind you first, although the Heart of Creation is yours, it doesn't mean it will always be yours."

"The Heart of Creation is difficult to destroy. If someone is determined to forcibly remove it, they will do so at all costs."

"In the future, you must remember to be extra careful in your actions."

"Furthermore, your Heart of Creation used the Power of Creation to open up a small world within your body."

"But initially, that small world only had the two laws of Destruction and life, which was too extreme. If left unchecked, it would eventually become unbalanced and collapse."

"Therefore, I have transferred the Undead Demiplane I created over many years, along with its concepts and laws of death, into your small world, thus completing the most fundamental cycle of the plane."

"Now, your little world has three fundamental laws: life, death, and Destruction."

"Although it is still small in scale and can only be called a small world, it is more than enough to accommodate living beings, allow them to multiply and live and reincarnate."

Electrolux looked at Bao Liang with eyes full of satisfaction and said slowly, "Congratulations, child."

"As long as this small world exists, you will never truly perish."

"And when this small world truly transforms into a complete world, you will surely embark on the path to godhood."

"More importantly, you are different from those gods I became who were reduced to the rules of the world back then. You are still you, still possessing emotions and desires, and still able to experience the full spectrum of human emotions."

After hearing these words, Bao Liang immediately understood how special he was at this moment, and how much covetousness he would attract in the future.

He didn't say much, but his expression turned solemn, and he bowed deeply to Electrolux with deep gratitude, saying solemnly, "Bao Liang, thank you so much, Elder Yi. This kindness is so great that Bao Liang will never forget it."

A flicker of emotion crossed Electrolux's eyes, but he quickly waved his hand dismissively, "Alright, alright, I hate this kind of formality."

"If you truly wish to repay this old man, then show him how to create life from nothing and guide it into the proper cycle of birth and death."

"Or... could you find me an apprentice? Someone I'd like to take a liking to."

"Huh? Elder Yi, you're still looking for apprentices?" Bao Liang scratched his head, puzzled. "Don't you already have Long Haochen and Sheng Cai'er as apprentices?"

"Those two children each have their own paths," Electrolux shook his head. "I am now nothing more than a remnant soul, and I wish to pass on this Necromancy while I still have the strength."

"Of course, I will never accept those of questionable character."

Bao Liang's eyes lit up immediately, and he said, "Then how about Elder Yi accepts me as his disciple? I was just thinking of asking Elder Yi for some pointers."

Electrolux sized him up for a while before letting out a snort and saying, "While your comprehension isn't top-notch, your temperament is passable."

"Very well, since you're so sincere, I'll accept you as my disciple."

"Master, please accept my bow!" Bao Liang immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

Electrolux looked quite pleased and reached out to help him up.

Bao Liang had just stood up when his eyes darted around. He lowered his voice and said, "Well, Master, now that we're master and disciple, I have something I'd like to trouble you with..."

Seeing his expression, Electrolux immediately knew it was probably true, and couldn't help but chuckle, "You've just become an apprentice and you're already bothering your master, only a kid like you would do that... Is it for your little girlfriend?"

"Master, you are wise," Bao Liang honestly admitted. "Although I have been using my Soul Power to forcefully suppress and burn away the cold poison in Sister Meng's body, it is ultimately only a temporary solution."

"If this continues, as her strength increases, each backlash from the cold poison will only become more ferocious. I really have no confidence that I can protect her indefinitely."

"Moreover, what I need to resolve is not just the immediate cold poison, but to eradicate it at its root and eliminate any potential threat of residual cold poison in her future bloodline inheritance."

"You're quite the meticulous one," Electrolux exclaimed in admiration. "Most people would just want immediate peace, but you want to make sure everything is foolproof."

"So you want me to use the Cycle of Life and Death in conjunction with the Life Divine Power to help her achieve a true ' Fortune Follows Misfortune,' allowing the Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toad Martial Soul to undergo a complete transformation, merging Yin and Yang, and eliminating the cold poison from its root?"

"That's exactly what I meant." Bao Liang nodded. "I have a way to suppress the cold poison in this generation, but I can't suppress the trace that remains in the bloodline of her future offspring."

"If you're going to do it, do it thoroughly."

"Ah, that's more like the kind of behavior I've always expected from a disciple." Electrolux nodded. "It's not difficult. Once you've chosen the right time, bring her to see me."

"Thank you very much, Master!" Bao Liang was overjoyed.

As he spoke, his gaze fell upon the Storage Soul Tool on the table containing the God Sealing Altar. A glint of light flashed in his eyes as he said, "Master, I have another guest here. It's time to meet him."

As he spoke, he carefully took out the God Sealing Altar and placed it in front of Electrolux.

"So, Snow Empress, after watching for so long, don't you have anything to say? I sincerely wanted to recruit you."
