2: Chapter 2 Electrolux (Part 2)

Just as Lin Yan had expected, although Electrolux only had a wisp of Divine Sense left and his memories were fragmented, the vision and insight of a top-tier powerhouse remained.

The grey Soul pearl trembled slightly. After examining it closely for a moment, the ancient voice rang out once more: "This lamp of yours... this old man cannot see through it. But I can sense that its essence is extremely high, even far surpassing my former Divine Artifact, the Tower of Eternity."

"Wisdom? Time? Destiny? The vastness of the Universe is truly full of infinite mysteries!"

Electrolux's slightly astonished murmur fell, seemingly accepting Lin Yan's previous explanation.

Suddenly seeing such a supreme treasure, Electrolux's desire to investigate was also piqued: "You said just now that this object is both a Spirit and a companion Spirit Treasure. This old man can understand a companion Spirit Treasure, but what exactly is a 'Spirit'?"

"Senior, a Spirit is an innate power that everyone in our World is born with. It comes in countless forms and can be roughly divided into three major categories: Tool Spirits, Beast Spirits, and Body Martial Souls. Furthermore, the entire cultivation system of our World is derived from and relies upon the Spirit."

As he finished speaking, with a slight thought, Lin Yan directly summoned his own Spirit within his Sea of Consciousness.

As a scorching, brilliant flame shifting with nine colors projected into his Sea of Consciousness, Lin Yan slowly introduced: "This is this Junior's first Spirit. Initially, it was just an ordinary, common fire. However, later on, through a stroke of luck and Opportunity with the help of the heart lamp, I enabled it to continuously evolve into this form. Today, I call it—the Emperor Flame!"

Lin Yan waited quietly for a moment, giving Electrolux time to observe. After a brief pause, he spoke again: "With Senior's vision, you should have already noticed the difference between the Emperor Flame and the heart lamp, right?"

Withdrawing his extended Soul perception, Electrolux said calmly, "Hmm! Not bad! What a wondrous power. This old man now somewhat understands why you call that lamp a companion Spirit Treasure. Although I also sensed some characteristics similar to a Spirit from your heart lamp, the two are fundamentally Worlds apart.

If this old man is not mistaken, the Spirits of your World are born relying on Bloodline and Soul. Although your heart lamp is connected to your aura, it was by no means nurtured from within yourself. It is more like a supreme treasure naturally born from the heaven, earth, and Universe!"

Lin Yan was not in the least surprised by Electrolux's sharp perception.

Or rather, Electrolux's current performance was exactly in line with his expectations. The reason he went to such great lengths to intercept Electrolux was because he valued Electrolux's systematic, extraordinary knowledge from that other World, as well as his top-tier talent and brilliance as a person!

However, there was one thing that Electrolux did not get entirely right—and that was the true origin of the Prajna Heart Lamp.

Of course, Electrolux could not be blamed for this. After all, the root of the Prajna Heart Lamp traced back to Lin Yan's previous life.

In his past life, Lin Yan was diagnosed with late-stage cancer. After modern medicine proved helpless, he turned his attention to Buddhist and Daoist teachings.

Although he ultimately failed to defy heaven and change his fate, or to achieve the ultimate sublimation to live a second life,

he did not end up with nothing. The extreme pressure of death washed away all his stray thoughts, allowing him to steal a sliver of heavenly secrets from the heavens and earth between life and death!

Visualization and meditation, sitting in oblivion and leaving the physical form behind!

He visualized a bright lamp within his Soul platform. Under the illumination of the flame originating from his mind, although it could not cure his cancer, it greatly alleviated the severe pain of his Physical Body, allowing him to live out the remainder of his life with dignity and peace.

Furthermore, when he underwent Transmigration to the Douluo Continent and broke the mystery of the womb during his Spirit Awakening, the bright lamp visualized in his Soul platform in his previous life transformed into his companion Spirit Treasure!

At the same time, perhaps influenced by the obsession and unwillingness of his previous life—he had once glimpsed the dawn of stepping onto the Dao to extend his lifespan, but was ultimately unable to take a step further due to his lack of talent.

As a result, in this life, the core characteristic of this companion Spirit Treasure fell upon the word "wisdom," becoming the current Prajna Heart Lamp.

Suppressing his temporarily chaotic thoughts, Lin Yan looked up at Electrolux, nodded with a smile, and said sincerely, "Senior has a great eye."

Before Lin Yan could say anything more, Electrolux spoke first, his tone carrying a hint of clarity: "Alright, we have chatted for so long, yet this old man still does not know what young friend's purpose was in drawing me here?"

Although Electrolux had no physical form at this moment, Lin Yan could still feel a gaze that seemed capable of seeing through a person's heart falling upon him.

"Senior, this Junior seeks to ascend straight up the Great Dao, to cultivate and become a god! Taking the liberty of inviting you here today, I wish to seek Senior's assistance!"

Seeing Electrolux remain silent, Lin Yan understood in his heart—with this person's current state of mind, without a suitable reason, he definitely could not be easily moved by just a few words.

Without pausing at all, Lin Yan's tone became even more earnest: "This Junior knows that in your previous World, becoming a god meant returning to the heaven and earth, dispersing into nothingness. But this World is different. Above heaven and earth, there exists the Divine Realm, and becoming a god is a leap in the level of life!

But the problem lies in the fact that gods are cultivated from humans, so they will still have selfish desires after becoming gods.

According to records, tens of thousands of years ago in this realm, the Sea God and the Angel God created their own God Positions and ascended to the Divine Realm. Ten thousand years ago, another person named Tang San inherited the Sea God's God Position after passing the god trials, and likewise ascended."

"Reasonably speaking, as far as this Junior knows, the Divine Realm has an ironclad law that gods must not interfere with the affairs of the Lower Realm. Tang San, who ascended ten thousand years ago, should have had absolutely nothing to do with this Junior.

However, in the future trajectory that I glimpsed, you would originally have been attracted by the sacrifice fluctuation of the Tianmeng Iceworm, entering the Sea of Consciousness of that young boy named Huo Yuhao just now. Yet in the end, you were plotted against by Tang San, and in order to protect Huo Yuhao, you suffered Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering completely.

As for why Tang San would do such a thing, it is simply because this plane has long been regarded by him as something already in his pocket. And Huo Yuhao is the Child of Luck of this World, a once-in-a-ten-thousand-years genius who is almost destined to become a god.

Therefore, seeing that Huo Yuhao might threaten his plans for this realm, in order to thoroughly control Huo Yuhao, he not only sent his own biological daughter to the Lower Realm to get close to the Child of Luck, but also plotted your death to facilitate the subsequent brainwashing and modification of the Child of Luck."

Hearing up to this point, Electrolux fell somewhat silent. Not knowing what he had recalled, he sighed softly and asked, "According to the future you saw, what was the final outcome for that Huo Yuhao?"

"He indeed became a god," Lin Yan said in a flat tone, carrying a hint of lament, "but he also completely lost his self and his original intention, becoming a 'good son-in-law' who obeys Tang San blindly."

With a firm gaze, Lin Yan spoke with emotion: "Senior, ever since I glimpsed the future, I knew that if I want to become a god in this life, the greatest obstacle would be those high and mighty gods. But I become a god to transcend, and I absolutely refuse to become someone else's puppet!"

Electrolux stared at the determined Lin Yan before him, and the figure of another youth who had once stood before him vaguely surfaced in his mind.

His voice was still ancient, but it carried a bit more warmth: "Young friend, if everything is truly as you say, since this old man is fated to meet you, I am still willing to lend you a helping hand."

Hearing these words, Lin Yan relaxed slightly, a flash of joy passing over his face, but his expression remained solemn: "Senior, you and I are strangers. How could this Junior take it for granted to drag you into my Karma?

Therefore, I, Lin Yan, am willing to swear upon my Spirit! If Senior helps me become a god, in the future, I will definitely resurrect Senior, deliver you to godhood, and return you to your homeland!"

As Lin Yan's oath fell, a wondrous ripple merged from his body into the heaven and earth. Sensing this ripple, Electrolux's perception of Lin Yan became even more warm and approving.

For the current Electrolux, he actually did not have much obsession with whether he could continue living. Perhaps his only obsession was the guilt of once being the Scion of Light, yet later triggering a Necromantic Calamity that swept across the entire continent, causing the people to suffer miserably.

If he could truly return to his homeland and have the chance to make up for some of his past mistakes, the guilt in the depths of his heart could also receive some slight solace.

"Young friend, in the future, you may call me Elder Yi." Electrolux's voice carried gratification, yet was hard to conceal his fatigue. "However, my Divine Sense is currently severely damaged. I still need to enter a deep sleep to repair it before I can recall all my past memories."

Hearing this, Lin Yan replied with a smile, "Elder Yi, you can just call me Xiao Yan. Please rest and sleep in peace. When you wake up next time, this Junior still has a gift to give you."

After Lin Yan finished speaking, Electrolux seemed to have expected it, his tone carrying a smile: "Xiao Yan, are you referring to that piece of life gold in your hand in the outside World?"

Lin Yan was not surprised by this. After all, he had originally used this piece of life gold to attract Electrolux. He nodded with a smile: "That's right. With this piece of life gold, I believe Elder Yi's Divine Sense can be thoroughly stabilized."

Receiving Lin Yan's affirmative reply, the gratification in Electrolux's heart grew even deeper—knowing that life gold was of immense value, he was still willing to gift it. This action showed Lin Yan's sincerity all the more.

"This gift is indeed what this old man needs, so I shall thank Xiao Yan first." Electrolux's tone was full of emotion. "However, this old man does not need so much to stabilize my Divine Sense; at that time, I will only need some of the life force within it. It is truly hard to imagine how such a large piece of life gold was formed!

Unfortunately, my Divine Sense is currently too severely damaged, and I am about to fall into a deep sleep. I can only wait until I wake up next time to handle it."

As Electrolux's ancient and weak voice slowly faded, the grey pearl before Lin Yan fell completely into silence.
