50: Chapter 50 Chaos as a bridge, spirit as a guide, connecting the core of origin.

As his voice fell, the strength in Xuan Zi's large hand, which had been gripping Su Chen's shoulder, relaxed.

He patted Su Chen's shoulder heavily.

Thump! Thump!

Two muffled sounds shook Su Chen's body, causing him to sway.

"Kid, this old man doesn't care whether this 'Soul Spirit' of yours will actually succeed or not."

"I only know that Shrek has never lacked madmen, nor has it ever been afraid of producing them!"

Xuan Zi's gaze became incomparably firm.

"You just keep walking forward and boldly step onto that thin ice!"

"If the ice breaks and you fall, I and the entirety of Shrek will be right there underneath to catch you!"

"If the sky falls, we old fogeys will hold it up for you!"

"Go ahead and do it!"

"Xuan Zi..." Su Chen's heart warmed.

He had originally prepared countless arguments.

But he had not expected Xuan Zi to give him such an answer.

He took a deep breath and bowed solemnly to Xuan Zi.

"Thank you, Xuan Zi."

At that moment, Su Chen felt that the mountain pressing down on his heart suddenly felt much lighter.

Originally, he only had a thirty percent chance of success, but now, it was at least fifty percent!

...

After saying goodbye to Xuan Zi, Su Chen returned to the Sea Gods Pavilion.

Under the personal arrangement of Elder Mu, he entered a quiet room on the top floor of the Sea Gods Pavilion.

This place was the absolute core of the entire Sea Gods Pavilion, and even the entirety of Shrek Academy.

The quiet room was not large, but it was covered with layers of restrictions.

As soon as he stepped inside, Su Chen felt a surge of Heaven and Earth spiritual energy so dense it was nearly liquefied rushing toward him.

He took a deep breath, and his entire body felt comfortable.

Within this spiritual energy, he also sensed a faint, yet incomparably pure, aura of life.

This was the origin aura of the Golden Ancient Tree.

Sitting cross-legged on the cushion in the center of the quiet room, Su Chen slowly closed his eyes.

He sank his consciousness into his own Spiritual Sea.

The next moment.

An aged figure wearing a magnificent black robe and a white cloak slowly emerged within his Spiritual Sea.

It was none other than the Necromancy Holy Mage, Electrolux.

As soon as Electrolux appeared, his eyes, which seemed to have seen through the life and death of the world, instantly locked onto the Snow Empress embryo inside the deification platform.

"Oh?"

A faint note of surprise emanated from Electrolux's soul projection.

"Such pure origin energy. This is not something an ordinary hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast could possess."

His voice echoed in Su Chen's mind, carrying a hint of imperceptible admiration.

"Your insight is brilliant, Elder Electrolux."

Su Chen responded in his heart.

"Next, I am preparing to attempt a very bold idea."

Su Chen's consciousness projection bowed slightly toward Electrolux's figure.

"I intend to use the Chaos Qi within my body as a bridge, and my spiritual power as a guide, to attempt to establish the deepest level of connection with it."

"During this process, my spiritual world might endure a massive impact, and there is even a risk of it collapsing."

"Therefore, I would like to ask you, Elder, to take action and help me stabilize my Spiritual Sea and protect me."

Su Chen's attitude was incomparably sincere.

This is what you call leaving professional matters to professionals.

In terms of manipulating souls and spiritual power, the person before him was a grandmaster-level figure.

With such a great god present, it would be a waste not to use him.

Electrolux's projection floated silently, his profound gaze lingering on Su Chen for a moment.

"Interesting little guy."

"Using Chaos as a bridge, and spirit as a guide, to connect to an unknown core of origin."

"You are indeed crazy enough, and your ideas are wild enough."

His tone shifted, carrying a hint of approval.

"However, this seat likes it."

Hum—

A soft chime sounded.

Electrolux's previously somewhat illusory figure instantly became solid at this moment.

A vast, ocean-like Soul Power swept out from his body, instantly enveloping Su Chen's entire Spiritual Sea.

Su Chen felt his mind clear up, as comfortable as soaking in a hot spring.

"Kid, remember one thing."

"You are not going to conquer it, but to accept it."

"Put away your aggression, use your origin to feel its frequency, and then, resonate with it."

Electrolux's voice echoed in Su Chen's mind.

"Understood, Elder Electrolux."

Su Chen replied in his heart.

He took a deep breath and hesitated no longer.

With a thought, the Chaos Thunder Dragon Martial Soul within his body seemed to let out a silent roar.

Su Chen did not release his spirit ring, but simply sank his consciousness into his Dantian.

Wisps of pure Chaos Qi were mobilized.

At the same time, the five elemental origin powers—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—which had evolved within the Chaos Qi, also began to flow slowly.

In the quiet room, Su Chen slowly raised his hands.

His palms were aimed from a distance at the deification platform on the table in front of him.

The ritual officially began.

The next moment, Su Chen's fingertips lit up.

Five beams of light, condensed to the point of being substantial, flowed slowly out from his five fingers.

The green Wood elemental power was full of vitality.

The red Fire elemental power was scorching and nimble.

The yellow Earth elemental power was heavy and steady.

The golden Metal elemental power was incomparably sharp.

The blue Water elemental power was dense and long-lasting.

These five beams of light did not violently rush toward the deification platform; instead, under Su Chen's control, they gently coiled around it like five living snakes.

They did not attempt to destroy the seal of the deification platform itself.

Instead, they constantly roamed and probed on the surface of the seal.

He intended to use the five elemental origin powers to simulate a key to "deceive" this seal, allowing it to open a passage on its own.

This was an extremely delicate task.

Fine beads of sweat soon seeped out on Su Chen's forehead.

His entire focus was poured into the ultimate control of these five energies.

A little too much, and it would lose balance.

A little too little, and it would be powerless.

He needed to maintain the five elemental powers at a delicate equilibrium point while simultaneously searching for the unique "resonant frequency" that existed within the seal itself.

Time passed minute by minute.

Su Chen's complexion gradually turned pale.

The consumption of spiritual power was far greater than he had imagined.

Just as he felt he was about to be unable to hold on.

Hum!

A slight resonant sound, as if coming from the depths of his soul, suddenly rang out.

He saw that on the seal of the deification platform, which was coiled with five-colored light, a spatial node almost invisible to the naked eye rippled gently, like the surface of water.

Success!

Su Chen felt a surge of joy and seized this fleeting opportunity.

His spiritual power struggled to penetrate that layer of the sturdy seal barrier.

However, the moment his spiritual power entered the seal.

An indescribable, extreme chill suddenly counterattacked!

That was not ordinary cold, but a kind of absolute zero originating from the end of the world, seemingly capable of completely freezing his soul into an ice sculpture.

In that instant, Su Chen's consciousness was almost frozen stiff and brought to a standstill.

It was also at this moment that Electrolux's voice exploded in his mind like a thunderclap.

"Take it slow, steady your mind!"
