Chapter 33: The Necromancer Holy God
"Hehe, very good," Electrolux said with a satisfied smile. "I have taken on two disciples before. I don't know what they have achieved now, but I imagine they are at the pinnacle of the world I came from. I hope you, Qianjue, can also live up to your talent and become a great power in this world!"
Long Haochen and Sheng Caier... Du Qianjue remembered Sheng Caier's incredibly long legs from the anime, but he didn't know much about their experiences since he hadn't read the "Shen Yin Wang Zuo" series.
"I've already given my other two legacies to your senior brother and sister. This last one, I've always hesitated..." Electrolux continued without waiting for Du Qianjue's response.
"My original constitution was what we called the 'Son of Light' in my world, similar to what you call the Ultimate Light here. But certain events led me to hate that world, and I transformed my Ultimate Light into Ultimate Darkness, which gave me the title of the Necromancer Holy God."
"Most of my abilities are based on this title, but the legacy requires a strong mind and will. I was hesitant to pass it on because I wasn't sure if you would be consumed by this power, which would become the greatest disaster this world has ever seen..."
An undead plague!
Electrolux's undead plague almost destroyed the Saint Demon Continent. The power level on the Saint Demon Continent was higher than on the Douluo Continent, yet Electrolux nearly annihilated it. If Du Qianjue were to be controlled by this power and transform into a lich, gaining endless life, and then unleash an undead plague, the only survivors might be the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena and a few others on the Douluo Continent...
"So, why did you decide to pass this legacy on to me?" Du Qianjue asked curiously.
Huo Yuhao was chosen because of his hatred towards the Duke's Mansion. Electrolux couldn't bear to see such a genius consumed by hatred and thus decided to pass on the Necromancer Holy God's power to guide Huo Yuhao's mindset.
However, due to Tang San's manipulation, Huo Yuhao's legacy from Electrolux was almost shattered in the Qiankun Asking Love Valley. Later, Huo Yuhao lost his fighting spirit, and even the resolve to change his surname from Dai to Huo became meaningless.
Electrolux never saw Huo Yuhao trying to revive him...
"Because of your granduncle Du Bushi and your lover Xue Linglong," Electrolux said with a faint smile. "Over the years, I've observed that you are not a heartless person. From how you treat your granduncle and your lover, I can tell you are not extreme, so you won't face the same situation I did."
Won't he? That's not certain...
Du Qianjue was a bit speechless.
He wasn't originally from this world. Apart from his family in the Body Sect, what did he care about the lives of others? If Tang San were to descend suddenly and destroy everything before Du Qianjue could counteract him, Du Qianjue might very well unleash an undead plague, dragging Tang San's daughter Tang Wutong, his father Tang Hao, and the Golden Tree's A Yin to die together.
Douluo Star? If it's destroyed, then so be it.
Du Qianjue remained silent, his eyes complex. He didn't trust Tang San's character enough to gamble on it. With the Necromancer's demi-plane, his confidence would be bolstered. He could just hide in the continent, causing havoc with the undead plague. How would Tang San respond to that?
Though it felt like deceiving Electrolux, Du Qianjue realized how crucial Electrolux's power could be. He didn't want to gamble on Tang San's character.
"Once your granduncle returns with the Living Gold, my remaining divine consciousness won't face extinction. Then, I can slowly pass the legacy to you," Electrolux said with a faint smile.
"Understood, Master," Du Qianjue replied, taking a deep breath.
No matter what, he would protect Electrolux! There wouldn't be a crisis requiring Electrolux to burn his divine consciousness to save him. At least, the methods Tang San left behind in the Douluo Continent were insufficient.
He had Xue Linglong and Du Bushi, both near-god level powerhouses, by his side!
Xue Linglong gently stroked Du Qianjue's chest, feeling his wildly beating heart. She sensed that Du Qianjue was planning something extremely reckless, not just excited about receiving a god's legacy.
"No matter what you choose, I'll stay by your side and face it with you," Xue Linglong murmured softly in her heart.
Spirit beasts' feelings were always purer than those of humans, even for someone like Xue Linglong, who had seen countless changes over nearly 700,000 years.
She believed Du Qianjue was worth making such a decision for.
After just three days, Du Bushi returned to the Body Sect. Judging by his unstoppable smile, it was clear the mission had succeeded.
"Qianjue, is this it?" Du Bushi eagerly retrieved a box from his storage soul tool. Even through the box, an aura of malevolent energy emanated.
Crack!
The box slowly opened, revealing a black-green carving knife with the faces of anguished spirits swirling around it.
"Yes, that's it!" Du Qianjue clenched his fist in joy.
"Master, the Living Gold is here!"
"Oh? So soon?" Electrolux quickly awoke, peering through Du Qianjue's spiritual sea to see the knife. He couldn't help but chuckle.
"What kind of idiot would do this? Sensing the immense energy within the Living Gold but not knowing how to use it, so they just cursed it?"
Even though Electrolux's expressions weren't visible, Du Qianjue could imagine his look of disdain.
"Lend me your body. I need to channel my power through it," Electrolux said.
Du Qianjue nodded, and his eyes, now red and blue from the fusion of the Ice and Fire Dragon King's soul bones, turned gray. An ancient and profound aura emanated from him.
"You two don't need to leave. When the Living Gold merges with Qianjue, it will release a large amount of life force, which will greatly benefit both of you," Electrolux said to Xue Linglong and Du Bushi, then looked at Du Bushi.
"Especially you. I can sense your life force has diminished for some reason. This fusion should help restore it."
Both Xue Linglong and Du Bushi nodded. Du Bushi's eyes even gleamed with excitement. He was well aware that his life force had diminished due to the Body Martial Soul's second awakening!
