Chapter 108: Electrolux Enters the Spiritual Sea! You Are Also From Another World?
"Then come to our hotel room, 4-301."
Liu Yuan calmly spoke into the communication soul tool, his voice steady and devoid of any unnecessary emotion.
As he lowered the device, a deep, abyssal light flickered within his Double Pupils. He knew with absolute certainty that at this very second, the original gears of fate governing the Douluo Continent had thoroughly shattered.
Ending the connection, Liu Yuan made no move to hide his actions. He turned immediately to Du Busi. "Master. He agreed."
Du Busi, who had been sitting cross-legged on the suite's terrace with his eyes shut in meditation, snapped them open. The previously restrained, ocean-like aura of the Level 98 Super Douluo instantly produced a faint, terrifying tremor that warped the air around him.
Standing to the side, Long Aotian and Vina immediately straightened, their expressions shifting into states of high alert.
"Good." Du Busi pushed himself to his feet, his massive frame casting a long shadow across the terrace. His expression was dead serious. "That Shrek kid actually has some guts."
He stepped into the room, his heavy footsteps thudding against the carpet. "Liu Yuan, you may be confident in handling this remnant soul, but a soul transfer inherently threatens the very foundation of your Spiritual Sea. Since I gave my word to act as your protector, I will not tolerate a single mistake. If that entity tries anything, I will crush it."
He shot a sharp glance at his two other disciples. "Aotian, Vina. Guard the perimeter of the suite. Lock down every angle. No one is allowed to approach. Any violators are to be killed without mercy!"
"Understood!" Long Aotian replied in a deep, gravelly voice. His fists clenched, knuckles popping as thick, dark gold soul power began to flow across the surface of his skin like molten metal. Vina nodded silently, her own soul power humming in preparation.
Exactly half an hour later, a faint, hesitant knock sounded against the heavy wooden door of room 4-301.
Long Aotian reached out and pulled the door open. A dejected, exhausted-looking Huo Yuhao stood at the threshold. The young Spirit Eyes soul master was draped in an oversized black cloak, clearly attempting to conceal his movements through the hotel corridors.
He stepped inside, pulling the hood back. But the moment his eyes adjusted to the light, his steps faltered. He stared at the towering figure of Du Busi, then at Long Aotian and Vina flanking the room. His gaze darted back to Liu Yuan, filled with absolute shock and a strange, bitter disbelief.
"You..." Huo Yuhao swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly. "You told them everything? About our arrangement?"
In his mind, a secret of this magnitude—a transaction involving a mysterious, ancient soul—should have been a shady, strictly private affair conducted in the shadows. Yet here Liu Yuan was, brazenly gathering the absolute core of the Body Sect to witness it.
Liu Yuan met Huo Yuhao's bewildered stare and offered a calm, unbothered smile. "The Body Sect emphasizes unity and transparency among its own. Since this is a major matter concerning my cultivation and my future, there is absolutely nothing I need to hide from my master or my peers., they support every decision I make."
A flash of deep, complex bitterness flickered across Huo Yuhao's tired eyes. His shoulders slumped. He couldn't help but recall Elder Xuan's harsh, interrogation-like questioning back at Shrek Academy, the suffocating pressure, and the growing discord within the reserve team. The contrast was glaring. He let out a low, self-deprecating sigh. "Is that so? This atmosphere your Body Sect has... it is truly enviable."
"Everyone makes their own choices. The environment you cultivate in is no different," Liu Yuan replied, his tone pragmatic and devoid of pity. He had no intention of wasting time on small talk or comforting a Shrek student. He gestured toward the cleared space in the center of the room. "Shall we begin?"
Huo Yuhao took a deep, shuddering breath, his fists clenching at his sides. "I need to say this one more time. Even though we reached an agreement, I need you to guarantee it again. Right here, in front of your master. You must do your absolute utmost to help Elder Electrolux stabilize his divine soul. You cannot let him perish."
"I promise you," Liu Yuan stated, his voice carrying the heavy weight of absolute certainty. He nodded solemnly. "As long as I, Liu Yuan, draw breath, I guarantee he will not dissipate."
Du Busi let out a cold, dismissive snort. In the next instant, a suffocating wave of dark gold soul power erupted from his towering frame. The energy surged outward, weaving into a transparent, hemispherical barrier that perfectly enclosed Liu Yuan and Huo Yuhao.
The air within the dome grew heavy. This barrier did not merely isolate sound; it completely locked down the spatial coordinates of the room, forging an absolutely secure, restricted domain where no outside force could pry.
Huo Yuhao sat cross-legged on the carpet. He closed his eyes, his brow furrowing as he reached into the deepest recesses of his Spiritual Sea. 'Elder Electrolux...'he called out in his heart, a wave of sorrow washing over him.'I am sorry. I couldn't keep you.'
Responding to his call, a wisp of incredibly thin, fragile black smoke slowly seeped from the center of Huo Yuhao's forehead. The smoke drifted upward, coalescing into the faint, translucent phantom of Electrolux's divine soul.
The ancient old man floated in the air, his expression layered with centuries of weariness and complex emotion. He looked down at the tear-stained face of Huo Yuhao, then shifted his gaze toward Liu Yuan. The young Body Sect disciple sat perfectly still, his aura steady as a mountain, already holding the Gold of Life in his palm.
Electrolux had fully prepared himself to dissipate into nothingness. He had accepted his end. But just as he refused to become a burden that would drag Huo Yuhao down, the boy fiercely refused to watch him perish helplessly. Driven by this mutual desire to protect one another, they had been forced into this desperate, cross-faction decision.
"Yuhao, you foolish child," Electrolux sighed, his ethereal voice echoing softly within the barrier. "I am but a fleeting passerby in your life. Why go to such lengths for a remnant like me?" He paused, gathering the last dregs of his spiritual strength. When he spoke again, his voice was exceptionally clear, carrying the dignity of a supreme being. "Then, I take my leave."
Huo Yuhao's eyes were rimmed with red. He bit his lower lip so hard it nearly bled, taking a ragged breath before nodding vigorously.
Electrolux turned away from the boy. His deep black eyes, swimming with ancient wisdom, locked onto Liu Yuan. His tone shifted instantly, revealing the sharp, unyielding decisiveness of a true powerhouse. "Kid! Present the Gold of Life! My current divine consciousness cannot withstand the atmospheric consumption of the outside world for much longer!"
Liu Yuan did not hesitate for a fraction of a second. With a flick of his wrist, he drew the Life Devouring Blade from his storage soul tool. The dark, ominous metal of the carving knife was instantly overshadowed by the rich, pulsing cyan aura of pure life force radiating from within it.
The very moment the Gold of Life was exposed to the air, the sterile hotel room felt as though it had been injected with infinite, blooming vitality. The scent of fresh earth and ancient forests washed over them.
Electrolux's nearly transparent phantom trembled violently. To his crumbling, exhausted soul, that dense aura of life was like the sweetest morning dew falling upon a parched, cracked desert.
Letting out a soft, echoing shout, Electrolux surged forward. His mass of black divine consciousness origin instantly enveloped the Life Devouring Blade. The ancient soul and the life metal fused, transforming into a brilliant beam of intertwined cyan and black light. With extreme, surgical precision, the beam struck directly into the center of Liu Yuan's forehead.
Liu Yuan remained rooted in his cross-legged posture. His Double Pupils snapped open to their absolute limit. The dark purple radiance within his dual irises pulsated violently, acting as a beacon that forcibly tore open a gap in his Spiritual Sea to welcome the foreign entity.
In the very next second, Liu Yuan pulled his own consciousness inward, plunging deep into the vast expanse of his Spiritual Sea.
Within his mental domain, the typically serene, mirror-like surface of his spiritual waters was in turmoil. Massive, towering waves crashed against the boundaries of his mind, violently stirred by the sudden, overwhelming intrusion of Electrolux and the Gold of Life.
Upon entry, Electrolux paid no attention to Liu Yuan's observing avatar. The ancient necromancer was entirely focused, pouring every ounce of his remaining will into controlling the mass of pure Gold of Life.
Guided by the ancient soul's masterful manipulation, the dense life metal began to rapidly liquefy. It spread outward like a brilliant cyan web, weaving itself into the very fabric of the mental realm until it formed a stable, initial bond with the outer edges of Liu Yuan's dark purple Spiritual Sea.
As the bond solidified, Electrolux's exhausted, fragmented black divine consciousness began to condense and repair itself at an astonishing speed, greedily absorbing the nourishing life force.
Only when the chaotic spiritual waves finally settled did Electrolux slowly breathe a heavy sigh of relief. His phantom materialized in the mid-air above the calm waters of Liu Yuan's Spiritual Sea. The agonizing strain that had plagued his features for so long was finally replaced by a relaxed, stable calm.
He floated downward, leveling his gaze at the young man standing upon the water. "Let us reintroduce ourselves. Liu Yuan, I am Electrolux."
Looking up at the dignified, legendary old man hovering within his own mind, Liu Yuan did not bow. He showed no awe, no fear, and no hesitation. Instead, the corners of his mouth lifted into a calm, knowing smile.
"I am Liu Yuan," he responded, his voice echoing evenly across the mental waters. "And Senior, I actually know a great deal about your affairs."
He held the old man's gaze. "The Holy Necromancer. The Slumbering Calamity. You were originally a favorite of the light, a true Scion of Light. Yet, driven to the brink by the endless sufferings and bitter betrayals of the human world, you took that final, dark step. You are a remnant soul that does not belong to this plane of existence."
Electrolux's expression underwent an devastating shift. The relaxed calm vanished, replaced by absolute, unadulterated shock. His eyes of divine consciousness locked fiercely onto Liu Yuan, his ethereal voice trembling with disbelief. "How could you possibly know so much? Even the Gods of this plane could not possibly know of my past!"
Liu Yuan looked directly into those ancient, shocked eyes and calmly dropped a bombshell that rippled across the Spiritual Sea. "Because, just like you, I also come from another world. That is why I know your past. And that is why I know your character."
Electrolux floated there, utterly stunned. For a long moment, the Spiritual Sea was dead silent. Then, as if a massive puzzle had suddenly clicked into place, his tense posture completely relaxed. He threw his head back and let out a loud, hearty laugh.
"So that is how it is... so that is how it is!" Electrolux chuckled, shaking his head. "I was previously wondering why those strange eyes of yours could see through the Origin of Karma. It turns out you are also a 'fellow traveler' drifting through this vast universe. No wonder. This is not strange at all."
The countless doubts that had plagued his mind since meeting this boy were completely resolved. When he looked at Liu Yuan again, his gaze no longer held the distant, assessing coldness reserved for a junior. Instead, it carried the warm enthusiasm and mutual recognition exchanged between peer powerhouses.
"Since our true identities are out in the open, there is no need for any hypocritical pleasantries," Electrolux said, nodding approvingly at Liu Yuan. "From this moment on, you and I are bound by shared interests. As long as you provide the origin of life to help me recover, I will naturally exhaust my life's learning to help you reach the absolute pinnacle."
"Thank you, Senior," Liu Yuan replied smoothly. "In exchange, I will do everything in my power to help you recover your strength. One day, I will even help you reshape your physical body."
He paused, adding, "After this is done, I will provide Huo Yuhao with sufficient compensation. In the future, should he find himself in mortal danger, I will lend him a hand for the sake of your face, Senior."
"That is more than enough. Although that child's talent cannot compare to yours, his disposition is pure and kind." Electrolux's gaze softened with a trace of genuine gratitude before he swiftly changed the subject.
The softness vanished, replaced by a razor-sharp intensity. "Alright, enough small talk. Now, I am going to help you completely finalize the fusion of this Gold of Life."
He raised his ethereal hands, and the cyan light in the Spiritual Sea flared brilliantly. "This will yield immense benefits, both for expanding your Spiritual Sea and for reshaping my divine root. Gather your focus, Liu Yuan. Welcome the transformation!"
