Chapter 121: Luo Yu and Su Yu

"You are right. Undead Magic is, in reality, merely one branch of magic from my world. It is not actually terrifying; in fact, it is the type of magic closest to the essence and origin of humanity. All research pertaining to Undead Magic is based on life itself."

While continuously transmitting his inheritance to Su Yu, Electrolux began to explain the origins of Undead Magic.

"The original Undead Magic was the result of humanity struggling against the laws of nature in order to extend their own lives. It is just that as research into Undead Magic deepened, a small portion of Necromancers gradually deviated from the original path. They used Undead Magic to strengthen themselves, relying on slaughter to strip away the life force or other things from other living beings to enhance their own."

Su Yu was also listening quietly, but in truth, he was well aware that no matter the type of magic, as long as one's heart is not upright and one cannot control its power, one will eventually stray onto a crooked path.

"Teacher, I have a question. Since you were able to transform extreme light into extreme darkness, can other opposing elements also be transformed?"

Su Yu had also thought of this question. That is to say, it does not exclude the possibility of a person possessing two extreme attributes simultaneously through the method of 'things turning into their opposites when they reach the extreme'. For example, Yi Lao, or Xue Di, who had her origin accidentally ignited by the Cold Jade Bed back then.

In other words, through the method of 'things turning into their opposites when they reach the extreme', it is theoretically possible to obtain two completely opposite and mutually restraining attributes.

"Although such a possibility does indeed exist—for example, your teacher here, I once transformed extreme light into extreme darkness, which is how I achieved the name of Undead Calamity, Necromancer Holy Magic God—in this world of yours, I am not sure if similar things will happen. Perhaps you should go and consult the records of your Shrek Academy."

Electrolux spoke slowly; it was clear that he was also not very sure whether similar events had occurred on the Douluo Continent.

However, Su Yu could be certain that even if such a thing had happened, that person would have died instantly at the moment it occurred. Even if they existed, it would be absolutely impossible for them to survive. After all, not everyone is like Huo Gua, or possesses an invincible system.

"In my memory, I was once a powerful mage. Initially, I was an existence of the light element, proficient in all kinds of light magic. Later, because of some events, my heart was filled with hatred. Relying on my talent, I switched to studying Undead Magic and explored a new path: light-attributed Undead Magic. It is a sad story from the past; I do not wish to tell it to you again."

"But before you fully accept this inheritance of Undead Magic, you must keep this in mind: it is precisely because of the taboos and power of Undead Magic that it is all the more dangerous. To sink into darkness is to be destroyed by darkness. Keep the dead in your body, but keep your heart toward the light. These are the eight words your teacher will brand deep into your soul. No matter when, you must never let hatred blind your eyes. Your teacher does not hope for how you will carry forward Undead Magic; your teacher only hopes that this lineage can continue."

During the period of inheritance, Electrolux was still constantly guiding Su Yu not to walk the path of evil. In fact, Su Yu's original plan was even more brutal: to devour the Soul Rings of all Soul Beasts on the Douluo Continent to obtain powerful strength.

But later, Su Yu cleared his thoughts. Although this method could achieve his goals, it could not serve as a permanent solution.

And now, an idea combining several paths has formally appeared in his heart: Soul Guidance, Undead, Soul Master, and the path of the Dragon God all gathered here...

Every ancient king will have their head severed by a new and strong king, who then turns to sit upon that teetering throne, waiting for the arrival of the next king.

However, what Su Yu wants to do is to become a new and eternally strong king, standing forever upon the throne!

…………

As Electrolux transmitted a vast amount of information to him, Su Yu also felt the mystery and power of Undead Magic. Having inherited Electrolux's legacy, if Su Yu could master it all, he would be the next Undead Calamity, Necromancer Holy Magic God in the future!

What Su Yu looked forward to most was the Undead Semi-Plane that Electrolux left for him; in this plane, there was the power he needed!

Since that is the case, then let us officially open it—my own Kingdom of the Dead!

Su Yu's pupils turned completely gray, and a large gate slowly opened before him. Here, Su Yu could feel the aura of death.

The filth of darkness, evil, mystery...

To have such a pure Undead plane, Su Yu felt deep sympathy for Electrolux's experiences. From the initial Son of Light to the final Undead Calamity, the misery and despair experienced can be imagined. If it were not for being in a state of utter hopelessness, how could he have thrown himself into the darkness?

…………

The weak Yi Lao is currently unable to fully control this Undead Semi-Plane, but Su Yu is now the master of this world.

Currently, Su Yu can only drive some low-level undead, but Su Yu also discovered that the undead in this plane have an unusual resistance to the light attribute. Clearly, this has an inseparable connection to Yi Lao.

It is just that this plane has not been open for long, and Yi Lao is still too weak to perfectly control the aura. Once the aura of the Undead Semi-Plane is exposed, Su Yu does not know what kind of old monsters it might attract.

If it were that whole bunch of people from the Holy Spirit Cult, then the trouble would be huge...

After closing the Undead plane, Su Yu had to choose to rest. The information received today was too vast; even with his Spirit Sea, which had been expanded several times by Life Gold and Yi Lao, it was still somewhat unbearable.

It is not that Su Yu is weak, but that Yi Lao's inheritance is too powerful. Even though Yi Lao's divine sense is weak now, even if Tian Meng and Ice Empress joined forces, they would not be able to shake Yi Lao in the slightest!

The power of Yi Lao in his prime is unimaginable...

The next day, Su Yu requested a week's leave from Mingde Hall, citing an injury caused by an accident while crafting a Soul Guidance Device.

Although this excuse was somewhat far-fetched, such things were common occurrences within Mingde Hall. News of Soul Guidance Device explosions in laboratories happened frequently, and as luck would have it, Su-the-person was one of them...

After this inheritance, Yi Lao's divine sense became much weaker again. While Su Yu rested, Yi Lao also fell into a deep sleep.

That complex and vast inheritance recorded countless Undead Magic spells and knowledge related to Undead Magic. Even with Su Yu's strong Spirit Power, he felt a splitting headache.

Clearly, Electrolux did not pass on all the Undead Magic to Huo Yu Hao back then, or perhaps his weak divine sense at the time simply could not recall so many things.

Otherwise, among the techniques Huo Yu Hao used later on, the strongest attack would definitely not have been attaching emotional power to Rong Nianbing's blade.

Flesh is weak, Mechanical Ascension...

Uh, this doesn't seem impossible either.

Although this idea had long been growing wildly in Su-the-person's mind, it was ruthlessly nipped in the bud by Su-the-person himself, because he couldn't even perform Spirit Refinements yet...

According to the classification in Legend of the Dragon King: Hundred Refinements, Thousand Refinements, Spirit Refinements, Soul Refinements, Heavenly Refinements.

This is the classification after Soul Guidance completely permeated the world. Reality is cruel; even though Su-the-person's learning and replication abilities are first-class, the subsequent path still requires him to explore it himself, because he can currently only achieve Thousand Refinements.

And this was only the result after using the complete eighty-one hammer Chaotic Wind Hammer Technique. If the subsequent path needs to be pioneered, it will likely still require the help of Undead Magic.

However, the most intuitive effect is that his Soul Guidance Devices have improved in all aspects. Even after replacing everything with Rare Metal of Thousand Refinements, the capabilities of the Soul Guidance Devices have been improved in an all-around way.

However, on the Douluo Continent, there are still many top-tier blacksmiths who can achieve this step.

Clearly, no matter which path it is, he has a long journey ahead...

After five days of organizing, everything finally returned to the right track.

Ever since inheriting Undead Magic, Su Yu could also clearly sense the evil Soul Masters hidden in Mingdu.

However, this is not Su Yu's business. After all, the Holy Spirit Cult is now colluding with the Sun Moon Empire. With Su Yu's current attainments in Undead Magic, even if he cannot blend in among the evil Soul Masters, he at least has great potential to be a charlatan.

Especially after meeting a girl named Nana. This person was bold due to her high level of skill; seeing that Su Yu was only a Level 4 Soul Engineer with Three-Ring, she resolutely decided to defeat Su Yu to obtain higher ranking points to exchange for more Rare Metal.

However, before Nana could release her martial soul, Su Yu used a small Soul Sealing Technique from Undead Magic to directly seal the opponent's martial soul back temporarily.

Of course, Su Yu left no flaws and casually knocked the opponent unconscious to avoid being discovered. After all, now is not the time to poach people for his own sect.

Actually, this is not the most absurd part; the main thing is that some Undead spells require chanting, and the content of the chanting really is no different from a charlatan...

…………

"Xuan Zi, is there still no news about Su Yu's family?" A trace of melancholy appeared in Mu Lao's eyes.

Looking at Mu Lao's somewhat disappointed expression, Xuan Lao helplessly said: "Su Xinyuan said that Su Yu has already inherited everything of the Su Family. Now, he cannot go to Shrek Academy for a short time. Only after handling the family affairs can Su Yu leave the family."

Mu Lao suddenly had a fit of violent coughing and said with some difficulty: "If that day really comes, I must have that Su Yu return; I have things to entrust to him..."

"What things? Tell me now, Mu Lao. I, I, I will go right now..." Looking at Mu Lao's haggard face, Xuan Lao's voice also became somewhat choked with sobs.

Mu Lao waved his hand and shook his head. "I have lived for so many years; it doesn't matter if it's a moment later. I have already arranged what needed to be arranged, and I have nothing to worry about. You are the same, Xuan Zi. Your personality is stubborn and not steady enough. In the future, when you encounter things, do not always think of solving them with brute force..."

"Teacher, is there truly no other way?" Yan Shaozhe, standing to the side, was also somewhat agitated; even the hand he used to support Mu Lao was trembling slightly.

Mu En's expression was indifferent. Gazing at the students leaving class, he spoke slowly: "In the end, everyone has a day when they must depart. You are all no longer young, and I have already given the instructions I needed to give. Walk with me for a while."

"The same goes for you all; whether now or in the future, everything remains as usual," Mu Lao said to the many elders of the Sea God Pavilion.

"Yes," the elders of the Sea God Pavilion replied in unison and with respect.

Yan Shaozhe supported Mu Lao as they walked upon Sea God Island; with every step they took, Mu En's brow smoothed out a little more.

"Predecessors of Shrek, Mu En has not let you down. Among our juniors, there are still youths capable of carrying Shrek forward."

Indeed, there is the new generation of Seven Monsters, the Inner Court's senior sister Zhang Lexuan, and also Su Yu, who remains missing to this day!

In this era, Mu En acted as a Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion worthy of the name, and with his own strength, he allowed Shrek to bloom with its own radiance, just like the Bright Sacred Dragon, bathed in light his entire life!

Whether looking at the Sea God Pavilion of later generations or the Sea God Pavilion of the past, it is rare to find a Pavilion Master who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Mu En.

The name Dragon Emperor Douluo is truly well-deserved!

The setting sun descended. Under the twilight, the hunched Mu En, looking like an old man in his final years, gazed kindly at the sky dyed red by the afterglow of the sunset. In this place where everything began, in this place harboring countless hopes, Mu En smiled...

"As long as I, Mu En, am here for one more day, the Douluo Continent will never be ruled by alien races. Even if I, Mu En, am gone, the juniors of Shrek will still inherit my will and continue to fight..."

…………

Before Su Yu, a person identical to him slowly took form. After a month of attempts, he had finally succeeded.

Several times he had nearly caused his own Spirit Sea to be torn apart completely. Looking at the person before him who was exactly like himself, Su Yu could not help but shed tears of excitement.

In order to completely separate the identities of the two, Su Yu had to use Undead Magic, using his own soul as a guide, and Spirit Power and vast life force as a Support System, and under the guidance of Electrolux, he created his own Second Avatar.

However, this avatar possessed no martial soul; it was just like a mirror image of Su Yu, merely possessing an identity capable of movement.

In terms of the body, it only inherited half of Su Yu's strength and soul power. Although it lacked a martial soul, it could still execute the soul skills Su Yu had obtained from absorbing soul bones.

Its Spirit Power was also only half that of the original body. If Su Yu were to make further breakthroughs in Undead Magic, he should be able to share his martial soul and soul power over as well.

After carefully changing the appearance of this avatar to that of Luo Yu, Su Yu began to share the spirits and consciousness of both sides. What he needed now was not just an avatar, but an avatar with its own consciousness!

However, it was enough to deal with the current situation. Looking at the avatar opposite him, Su Yu spoke slowly: "From today on, you shall be called Luo Yu."
