"Yuhao, you may have endured much darkness since childhood, but this world still holds light."
"..."
At this moment, Su Yu, playing the role of a life mentor, spoke in a way that deeply moved Huo Yuhao.
Electrolux also provided Su Yu with insights in his mind, helping Su Yu convey thoughts to guide Huo Yuhao out of his obsessive mindset.
"I'm not trying to stop you from seeking revenge; I'm simply reminding you not to fall into the trap of hatred while pursuing it."
Huo Yuhao nodded and replied, "Yu-ge, I understand. My enemies are only those people, and I will not involve the innocent."
"Sigh, you still don't get it," Su Yu said, shaking his head with a sigh.
"No, Yu-ge, I really do understand." Huo Yuhao's gaze was firm.
Someone was interfering with the natural order of the world.
This was the message Su Yu was trying to convey.
Huo Yuhao faintly grasped this point but wasn't entirely sure if his understanding aligned with Su Yu's words.
Were they even talking about the same "destroyer"?
"Besides, Yuhao, there's one point of logic you're not seeing clearly. God positions inherently belong to the gods; just because you're talented doesn't mean the inheritance must be yours. We should feel lucky that we get rewards from god trials. What's truly detestable are those gods who sit idly, occupying positions and doing nothing."
Huo Yuhao fell silent for a moment before nodding.
"Yu-ge, I realize now that my thinking was flawed."
"This life space… I don't think we'll be able to enter it again."
Su Yu turned to look back at the area they had just exited. As he scanned the zone once more, there was no change in the space.
The entrance to the God of Life's inheritance had vanished.
"Wait for me here. I need to cultivate for a bit."
Having just received details about the second trial, Su Yu decided to complete it first before moving on.
Su Yu's second trial involved studying the use of faith power, which wasn't a particularly difficult task for him.
He had already encountered faith power before. Back then, Electrolux had helped him use faith energy to slightly enhance the age of his soul rings.
Although solving the issue with the five evil soul masters in Sky Armor City had released numerous wandering souls, the faith power generated then couldn't compare to what the God of Life's first trial had bestowed upon him—both in quantity and purity.
"Faith power gets further purified and compressed when it reaches the divine realm? It seems that even in the divine realm, faith power plays a significant role."
Su Yu began channeling a portion of the faith power, and following Electrolux's method, he gradually merged it into his soul rings.
The "Spirit" rune began to glow as it activated the spirituality within his soul rings, enhancing and invigorating them, rapidly increasing their ages.
Su Yu could clearly feel the years of his first four soul rings improving to varying degrees.
Once the initial portion of faith power was depleted, Su Yu drew out another strand. Under Electrolux's guidance, he activated it, spreading its effects throughout his mental sea.
"This faith power you've obtained is incredibly pure—so pure that it contains no impurities at all. It can be used for self-improvement. However, don't directly absorb it. Faith power has its risks, even when pure. It's safer to use it to stimulate your spirituality, keeping your mental power active. This way, your mental cultivation speed will greatly accelerate."
Under Electrolux's instructions, Su Yu continued applying the faith power. However, despite his efforts, there was still no indication of successfully completing the second trial.
"What's going on?" Su Yu asked in confusion.
"There's likely another hidden requirement," Electrolux replied.
He had already taught Su Yu all the basics of faith power manipulation.
Higher-level applications certainly existed, but they wouldn't be part of a Red Rank second trial's requirements.
Condensing divine power?
Ridiculous.
"God of Life's trial…" Su Yu looked back at the vanished life space.
He began recalling all the details of the trial—its events, causes, and consequences—hoping to decipher the God of Life's intentions.
The God of Life's inheritance space didn't necessarily exist permanently in this location. It was a drifting subspace. So why hadn't it appeared on their route to the Dou Ling Empire earlier?
Instead, it had directed them here.
"Burial Soul Valley?"
Su Yu's expression subtly changed.
Could it really be related to that place?
If so, what exactly was the connection?
Su Yu pondered the possible links.
"Yuhao, I'm heading to Burial Soul Valley soon. You stay here, and if you hear anything unusual, run immediately."
"Yu-ge, I already have Xiao Mi. Why are we going to Burial Soul Valley at all?"
"My trial might require me to go there," Su Yu explained, offering some reassurance. "Don't worry. I'm not entirely sure yet. If my guess is wrong, I won't force my way in."
Burial Soul Valley—a possible stronghold of the Evil Soul Masters.
Unless absolutely necessary, Su Yu had no intention of barging in recklessly.
"Yuhao, Burial Soul Valley likely harbors Evil Soul Masters at the Contra level or even higher. You'll only cause trouble if you come along."
Seeing that Huo Yuhao wanted to accompany him, Su Yu quickly discouraged the idea.
If this kid tagged along, he might just end up making things worse.
"But Yu-ge, my Spiritual Detection Sharing and the new spirit ability I got from Xiao Mi can really help you."
"Oh?"
Su Yu hadn't yet inquired about Huo Yuhao's fourth spirit ability. Now that Yuhao mentioned being able to assist, Su Yu's curiosity was piqued.
"My fourth spirit ability is Spiritual Mirage. It doesn't cast illusions on enemies; rather, it uses spiritual power to construct a space around me.
When paired with my second ability, Simulation, it can perfectly conceal both of our figures."
Spiritual Mirage.
Just hearing the description, Su Yu could tell it involved spatial power to some extent.
Previously, in the God of Life's inheritance space, when they encountered the Bewitching Spirit Butterfly, the light around it had visibly distorted. That was the result of spiritual power pulling on spatial forces.
Huo Yuhao had only mentioned one aspect of this spirit ability's potential.
If developed properly, this could become a core skill—perhaps even allowing him to create an entire domain in the future.
"Besides, Yu-ge, my bone wings make me pretty fast in flight."
Su Yu nodded. He had to admit he was a bit envious of Huo Yuhao's bone wings.
After absorbing the Bewitching Spirit Butterfly's spirit soul, Huo Yuhao's spirit power had skyrocketed to Level 45.
His fourth spirit ring—a fifty-thousand-year-old spirit ring—was even more extraordinary than the mutated Sword Grass Su Yu had absorbed back in the day.
The resulting boost to his spirit power was staggering, propelling him directly to Level 45.
Of course, the spirit soul method also played a significant role in this.
The spirit soul method allowed a soul master to absorb every aspect of a spirit beast, leading to a more substantial increase in spirit power.
However, the greatest boost only occurred when the spirit soul was first refined. For any additional spirit rings granted later—no matter how powerful—they would provide far less of an increase compared to directly absorbing traditional spirit rings.
