Upon hearing this, countless thoughts instantly surged in Lin Xiao's mind.
The Holy Emperor's light will illuminate the entire land. This was not some abstract metaphor, nor was it a slogan fabricated by Zhongli Wu to develop the Holy Spirit Church. The meaning of this sentence was exactly as it appeared on the surface; the Holy Emperor himself actually possessed the light attribute.
No wonder the criterion for selecting the Holy Son and Holy Daughter was "light will illuminate the land together with the Holy Emperor." No wonder the power possessed by that Holy Emperor did not resemble anything from the Douluo Continent.
Even the original Holy Spirit Church, upon seeing the disguised Huo Yuhao, could immediately conclude that he was the Holy Son they had been desperately searching for, just because the undead he summoned were unafraid of holy attributes. That was because the Holy Emperor worshipped by the people in the Holy Spirit Church possessed power that was not afraid of holy attributes.
Lin Xiao finally understood why what Zhongli Wu pursued was allowing evil soul masters to walk openly under the sunlight, because the Holy Emperor he worshipped was an "evil soul master" who could walk under the sunlight.
The eight soul rings around Lin Xiao slowly dissipated, replaced by a light gray soul ring that slowly pulsated around him.
Electrolux's figure had already appeared behind him. Soon, the aura that had been pursuing them all the way also appeared not far in front of him.
It seemed to be a wisp of light gray mist. Lin Xiao did not sense any danger from it. On the contrary, the moment that aura appeared, it burrowed into Electrolux's figure behind Lin Xiao like a young swallow returning to its nest.
In an instant, Electrolux's figure slightly fluctuated, and even the gray soul ring beside Lin Xiao became a few shades deeper.
Electrolux did not speak, but Lin Xiao could feel that some changes were occurring in him.
The Holy Emperor was related to Electrolux. Thoughts surged in Lin Xiao's mind, and some doubts seemed to have received reasonable explanations.
Electrolux's divine consciousness fragments had been attracted due to the influence of the million-year Heaven Dream Ice Silkworm's sacrifice, but no one could determine where Electrolux's other divine consciousness fragments had gone before this, or what had attracted them.
Perhaps it was because other fragments had been influenced by something Lin Xiao still did not know, and had already arrived on the Douluo Continent long before the incident in the Star Dou Great Forest.
It was also at that time that an evil soul master encountered Electrolux's divine consciousness fragment, and because the power mastered by Electrolux was similar to that of evil soul masters, the Holy Spirit Church was thus founded.
Lin Xiao did not know exactly what had happened at that time, but judging from the current Holy Spirit Church, they must have obtained a portion of necromancy from Electrolux.
However, they only understood the basics, and because they treated it as the power of evil soul masters, it had been distorted in inheritance until now, turning into this strange appearance.
Lin Xiao let out a light sigh. Having memories from his previous life had given him considerable advantages, but sometimes it also restricted his thinking.
Precisely because he knew what kind of person Electrolux was, he had never considered that the Holy Spirit Church might have some connection to Electrolux.
But now that he thought about it, there had been signs long ago. Like the soul-splitting method in the Spirit Ascension Ceremony he had experienced, like those gray soul lamps.
In the world of the Douluo Continent, color was a very important indicator. Just like soul rings, no matter what soul beast, the color of the soul rings was fixed.
In fact, after seeing those gray flames during the Spirit Ascension Ceremony, he should have guessed whether that ceremony was related to necromancy.
However, Lin Xiao had the Gold of Living Beings to preserve Electrolux's consciousness and prevent it from dissipating. In the Holy Spirit Church, which lacked such a method, the state of that divine consciousness fragment was probably not good.
Otherwise, with Electrolux's personality, how could he tolerate his power being used by the Holy Spirit Church in such a place.
As for the Holy Son and Holy Daughter that the Holy Spirit Church had been searching for...
Perhaps what Zhongli Wu was looking for was not some talented disciple with potential, but rather the power of the "Holy Emperor" in his mind that might have been left in other places, that is, other divine consciousness fragments.
The only thing that somewhat puzzled Lin Xiao was probably why Zhongli Wu had arranged such a statue in this extreme northern land.
"Sigh." Lin Xiao was pondering when Electrolux's voice suddenly sounded in his mental sea, quickly pulling him back from his thoughts.
"Teacher, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, it's just..." Electrolux's voice sounded somewhat weary. "What I've always been worried about has still happened."
"Not all 'me' were as fortunate as I was to meet a child like you. My power has ultimately been used in places I didn't want to see."
"Teacher, this isn't your fault. If someone uses a soul guide weapon to do evil, can you blame the soul guide weapon itself?"
"Haha, no need to comfort me." Electrolux sighed. "Although the soul guide weapon itself is not wrong, the soul engineer who created it would still be unwilling to see the soul guide weapon he made being used in such places."
"You're always sharp; you should have already guessed it. That wisp of aura just now came from one of my other divine consciousness fragments."
"Back then, after I died in my original world, countless divine consciousness fragments drifted for who knows how long. Now it seems that one of them arrived here long ago and was preserved within your Holy Spirit Church."
Lin Xiao nodded slightly. "Teacher, I said before that I would help you find the remaining divine consciousness fragments. Since I now know the whereabouts of this fragment, I will find a way to retrieve it."
"Sigh, actually, I don't have much expectation for searching for divine consciousness fragments. I've already died once; I'm not that afraid of the dissipation of my consciousness."
"But only this fragment in the Holy Spirit Church, I hope you can help me retrieve it. I don't want to see my power being used in such a place."
"I understand, Teacher."
"Moreover, from that wisp of aura just now, I've also discovered something." Upon hearing Lin Xiao's words, Electrolux's tone immediately lightened a bit.
"Because my divine consciousness is incomplete, my memories are also incomplete. The necromancy I currently master leans more toward summoning undead creatures. And the one preserved in the Holy Spirit Church is probably related to power within the soul."
"With your ability, that fragment should contain the necromancy most helpful to you."
"Necromancy related to the soul..."
Although it was only Electrolux's speculation, thinking about the soul splitting in the Spirit Ascension Ceremony, the resentful spirits preserved in the various altars of the Holy Spirit Church, and Ye Xishui's soul guide weapon that could sacrifice souls, this matter was probably ninety percent certain.
The Holy Spirit Church... Previously, Lin Xiao had been quite wary of that unknown Holy Emperor and did not dare to approach, but now, he needed to carefully think about how to get close to that "Holy Emperor."
