Ultimate…
Before Lin Xiao could continue thinking, Electrolux spoke again, "In the world I came from, there were also various attributes just like in yours."
"I was once a light-attribute mage. Later, after coming into contact with necromancy magic, I gradually understood that the ultimate of light is precisely darkness and death."
"These two powers do not conflict; instead, they depend on each other. Because of that, I became the only light-attribute necromancer in my world."
Lin Xiao was already quite familiar with this part of Electrolux's past, but he still listened quietly as Electrolux recounted his youth.
"Every world has its most fundamental rules. In your world, everything is based on martial souls. Since your martial soul naturally possesses the death attribute, that is also your own attribute."
"Now that you have fused with my power, the death attribute in your body has become even purer. Under the influence of the Gold of Living Beings, the opposite side of the death attribute has also begun to appear within you."
During the time Lin Xiao's consciousness was blurred, Electrolux seemed to have done many things. Although it had not yet been verified, listening to Electrolux's words and recalling memories from his previous life, Lin Xiao could already guess some of it.
The extremely pure power Electrolux spoke of—one that even triggered the opposing force of life to death—had another, more widely known name in this world: Ultimate Martial Soul.
He now possessed an ultimate death-attribute martial soul.
"So the reason my sea of consciousness looks like this is that these two powers exist simultaneously?"
Lin Xiao listened to Electrolux and slightly raised his head to look at the sea of flowers on the opposite bank of the river.
"Not entirely." Electrolux shook his head and let out a long sigh.
"Teacher?" Lin Xiao took two steps forward to stand beside Electrolux, turning his head with a surprised expression.
"Haha, no need to panic." Seeing this, Electrolux laughed lightly. "This is not a bad thing."
"After you suffered the mental shock, to repair your sea of consciousness, I used the power of the Gold of Living Beings to continuously mend it while completely fusing my power with yours."
"Just like when you absorbed your seventh soul ring, this too was a case of breaking and then rebuilding. From now on, you will feel that your spiritual power has reached a whole new level compared to before."
"Logically speaking, after fusing the Gold of Living Beings and my power, some changes should have occurred here. However, the changes now seem to be based on the original appearance of this place—they are not as obvious as I had anticipated."
Electrolux turned to look at Lin Xiao. "This means your spiritual origin is far more stable than I expected. For you, this is not a bad thing; on the contrary, it means your spiritual power can still grow to even higher levels in the future."
Electrolux looked at Lin Xiao but did not voice the second half of his thought.
All things possess life and can be called living beings. The origin of all living beings is precisely the life force within them, and the Gold of Living Beings is the solidified form of countless life forces condensed together.
If one living being represents one life, then a piece of Gold of Living Beings represents an entire world.
After Electrolux helped Lin Xiao stabilize his sea of consciousness, although it was influenced by the Gold of Living Beings, the changes were far less pronounced than he had imagined.
In other words, Lin Xiao's sea of consciousness had almost withstood the impact brought by an entirely different world. This degree of spiritual origin was far beyond simply being "a little more stable than ordinary people."
However…
"Never mind. The changes occurring in your body need to be experienced slowly by yourself. Whether it is spiritual power or soul power, you must readjust to these new strengths."
"I already said earlier that the martial soul is the most fundamental rule of this world. My power, now within you, will also manifest in a similar form."
Hearing this, Lin Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Go ahead, try it." Electrolux nodded. "From this moment on, my power is completely yours to command."
Hearing these words, Lin Xiao's figure paused slightly. He looked at Electrolux, somewhat understanding the implication behind his words.
Until now, although Electrolux had remained in his sea of consciousness, he had merely been borrowing the place temporarily. With the Gold of Living Beings stabilizing his divine consciousness, he could have left at any time.
But now, Electrolux's power had become a part of him and could never leave again.
Having obtained the power he had long planned for, Lin Xiao surprisingly felt no trace of the joy he had imagined.
Over the past few years of companionship, the relationship between him and Electrolux had unknowingly changed. Before he realized it, his attitude toward Electrolux was no longer what it had been at the beginning.
Looking at Electrolux's aged face, Lin Xiao clenched his fist. "Thank you, Teacher."
Since they now addressed each other as master and disciple, he would naturally never allow Electrolux to repeat his past tragedy. Even if the chance was slim, he would search the vast universe for the rest of Electrolux's scattered divine consciousness.
Beneath the sea floor, countless secrets lie buried under layers of sand and mud. A sea fish gently swayed its tail as it swam close to the bottom, but in the next instant, it sensed something and swiftly turned to flee.
The calm sand exploded. A figure burst out from below, churning the deep seawater and washing away the mud clinging to his body.
Two beams—one blue, one red—shot out from Lin Xiao's eyes like solid rays, startling countless surrounding sea spirit beasts into scattering in all directions.
Lin Xiao had already adapted to breathing underwater. He took a big gulp of seawater, feeling the air within it enter his body, invigorating every part of him.
The surrounding water pressure no longer affected him at all. The soul power coursing continuously through his meridians even gave him a faint "viscous" sensation—that was the sign of soul power being compressed to a certain degree.
Feeling the explosive power beneath his skin, Lin Xiao clenched his fist. He knew that from this day forward, he had one more reason to pursue strength.
With a slight shift of his mind, a trace of gray light flickered in his eyes. The soul power within his body surged out, and a massive figure slowly condensed behind him.
An intense aura of death instantly spread to the surroundings. Yet unlike before, the death it brought was no longer pure silence; instead, it carried a warm sensation.
It was the final resting place where all living beings could sleep peacefully.
Lin Xiao turned slightly to look at the figure behind him. That figure seemed to lower its head and look back at him as well.
Their eyes met, and Lin Xiao revealed a smile. A gray soul ring slowly rose from beneath his feet.
"Teacher…"
Softly calling out once, Lin Xiao stomped heavily. The seawater beneath his foot instantly surged upward. His figure shot forward like an arrow released from a bowstring, actually faster than the surrounding sea spirit beasts by a noticeable margin.
