"Old Yi, have you finished taking on your disciple?" After handling the serious matters, Lin Yun took the initiative to bring up the topic of Xue Qingci.
Electrolux nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Yes, my last legacy has finally found a successor."
After his observation, Electrolux concluded that Xue Qingci was not the kind of child with a twisted psyche. Even if she inherited his necromantic magic, she wouldn't become the person he once was. Her temperament could be guided later, and Electrolux believed that Xue Qingci would use necromantic magic for the right purposes.
"Then congratulations on getting a great disciple!" Lin Yun's mouth curved up, and he tossed another item to Electrolux.
"Now that you have a disciple, you no longer need to stay in my sea of consciousness. This piece of Gold of Life will be my gift to you!"
Yes, the item Lin Yun gave to Electrolux was a piece of Gold of Life.
However, this piece of Gold of Life wasn't the one from the Golden Tortoise's belly, but rather the Spirit Devouring Carving Knife that Lin Yun had bought at the Starlight Auction House.
Lin Yun had already had Di Tian put the piece of Gold of Life that the Golden Tortoise ate back into the spring of the Lake of Life to make up for the original amount. This piece definitely couldn't be touched.
But the Spirit Devouring Carving Knife was a different story. Lin Yun had obtained it from another source, so giving it to Electrolux was no big deal.
As for how he would use it, that was his own business.
Lin Yun wouldn't pry.
But it would most likely be used on Xue Qingci.
Although she was temporarily out of danger thanks to the four soul bones of over 50,000 years that she had absorbed into her limbs, it was only temporary. If nothing else happened, she would still die around the age of twenty.
With this piece of Gold of Life, not only could Electrolux find a new place to live, but Xue Qingci could also use this piece of Gold of Life to heal her body and use necromantic magic.
Are you wondering if Lin Yun would feel pained to just give away a piece of Gold of Life like that?
There was certainly a little bit of pain, but not much.
The benefits of the cleansing of life force were limited. Once was enough. Doing it multiple times was like a chicken's rib—it wasn't worth eating, but it was a shame to throw away.
It was better to just absorb two more divine-grade soul bones.
After all, Electrolux had helped him create the True Sun Scripture, and his help over the past few years had been significant. In the future, he would be a huge asset for his counter-attack on the Divine Realm, so giving him a piece of Gold of Life was not a loss in any way.
Moreover...
How can many things be measured by 'gain' and 'loss'?
Making everything about profit would be so boring.
Electrolux held the Gold of Life, his eyes cast down. After a long period of silence, a smile appeared on his lips: "Thank you. I'll accept this Gold of Life."
Since... that event, it had been a long time since Electrolux had felt this feeling of being trusted by someone.
Or rather, after he achieved the fame of being the 'Necromancer Saint-God', he had never trusted anyone again, nor had he ever experienced the feeling of 'friendship'.
He was powerful, but also very lonely.
The strong are always lonely. Electrolux didn't care about this dispensable feeling, but who would be against the feeling of having someone who could be trusted?
If Lin Yun and Electrolux's relationship before was more like a partnership and a transaction, from this moment on, they could be considered friends.
Being able to become Electrolux's friend...
It was truly not an easy feat.
For the next period of time, Lin Yun left Electrolux and Xue Qingci to spend time alone.
Absorbing the Gold of Life required time, and resolving the hidden dangers in Xue Qingci's body also required time. In any case, after learning how precious the Gold of Life was, Xue Qingci was completely grateful to Lin Yun and Electrolux.
This was a true life-saving grace.
Not only did they save her life, but Lin Yun and Electrolux also helped her break free from her former destiny.
What did it matter if they were a Fierce Beast big shot or a ghost from another world?
Xue Qingci said that the Star Dou Great Forest was simply too wonderful and that whoever wanted to go back to the Dou Spirit Empire could go back.
She had never really experienced the feeling of family affection growing up, and she didn't even have a single person she was close to in the Dou Spirit Empire. Now that she saw through the Dou Spirit royal family's schemes against her, Xue Qingci had no mental burden whatsoever in turning against them.
As for those four 50,000-year soul bones?
Lin Yun said, "I paid for them for you, so in the future, you, Xue Qingci, will be my servant."
And so, Electrolux gained a disciple, and Lin Yun gained a cute little maid. Both of them won, making it a win-win situation.
Only the Dou Spirit Empire was left with nothing.
On the third day after Lin Yun brought Xue Qingci back to the Star Dou Great Forest, the people of the Dou Spirit team also returned to Douling City and reported to the current emperor of the Dou Spirit Empire that Xue Qingci had been 'assassinated by the Sky Demon Douluo, Huang Jinxu'.
Then...
The Xue family exploded.
The members of the Dou Spirit team didn't know the importance of Xue Qingci, thinking she was just a favored princess. But in reality, Xue Qingci represented the hope of the Xue family's martial soul for a complete evolutionary leap.
Now, that hope was shattered!
It's unknown how Xue Qingci died in the original novel, but the Dou Spirit Empire in the original novel didn't take any action.
But now, things were different. Before they could even harvest the fruits, Xue Qingci had 'died' prematurely, and they had even recognized the identity of the person who had killed her.
The Dou Spirit Empire, which was incompetent in external battles but skilled in internal struggles, went completely crazy. The Dou Spirit Emperor immediately mobilized his army, not even guarding the border with the Heavenly Soul Empire, and sent them all to the border with the Star Luo Empire.
And—!
They also took out three Grade 7 fixed-caliber soul guide missiles and one Grade 8 fixed-caliber soul guide and launched them directly into the Star Luo Empire without any warning!
When Grade 9 fixed-caliber soul guide missiles were firmly controlled by the Sun Moon Empire, the most powerful fixed-caliber soul guide missiles that could be released by the Sun Moon Empire were only Grade 8.
But this number was also extremely rare.
There were always a few soul engineers who wanted to become rich overnight, so it was normal for them to sell some controlled soul guides of this kind. And this Grade 8 fixed-caliber soul guide missile was the only one that the Dou Spirit Empire had saved.
Its power was equivalent to the full-force attack of an assault-type Titled Douluo, and its explosion range was far beyond the attack range of a Titled Douluo.
The consequence was that a legion of the Star Luo Empire stationed on the border with the Dou Spirit Empire was completely annihilated!
Three Grade 7 and one Grade 8.
Even if Xu Jiawei was killed, he would never have imagined that the Dou Spirit Empire would inexplicably launch high-grade fixed-caliber soul guide missiles at their border army, which led to the complete destruction of that legion.
Even the Soul Sage strongman who was the commander of the legion couldn't escape.
This truly caused a complete uproar!
