Chapter 44 The Undead Demiplane, Becoming an Apprentice of Electrox
After the terrifying fluctuations subsided, the blurry humanoid figure manifested by the plane's will, like garbled code, flickered and then disappeared.
Electrolux appeared to be unharmed.
Within the amber-like cocoon of light, a layer of golden light shimmered. Wang Dong'er and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion fell together, only separating when they hit the ground.
The three-eyed golden lion seemed somewhat dazed, its body swaying unsteadily. The third vertical pupil on its forehead had changed from red to gold, but quickly returned to its original color.
Wang Dong'er staggered a bit and it took her a while to regain her balance.
The two, one human and one beast, met eyes again, and both shuddered as countless fragments of memories flashed through Wang Dong'er's mind.
The three-eyed golden lion, however, seemed somewhat bewildered.
Electrolux's spirit appeared, and with a wave of his hand, a door that seemed to be made of piled bones appeared out of thin air.
"Let's go inside and hide," Electrox said. "There's a powerful aura rapidly approaching."
"Okay." Coming to her senses, Wang Dong'er had no doubts. After glancing at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, she stepped into the white bone gate. Then, Electrolux followed Wang Dong'er in. The white bone gate closed instantly and disappeared.
Once the gate of white bones had completely disappeared and all traces of its former self had vanished, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion spoke in a low voice.
"Wang Dong'er...the human world?"
According to the rules of attribute guidance, she should have been able to see Wang Dong'er's memory fragments, but for some reason, what she saw was almost a blank, with only a few images flashing through her mind.
Not long after, a figure in black descended from the sky, glanced at the stunned three-headed dog, and then looked at the three-eyed golden lion.
"Three-Eyed Golden Lion, what just happened?" The man in black, exuding a terrifying aura, lowered his head and asked.
"Uncle Di Tian." Seeing the man in black, the three-eyed golden lion shook its head, but didn't answer Di Tian's question. Instead, it asked Di Tian a question in return: "Is the Dragon God... an evil god?"
"The Dragon God?" Di Tian was taken aback. "How do you know about the Dragon God? And what do you mean by asking if he's an evil god?"
The three-eyed golden lion lowered its large head, recalling the scattered fragments it had just seen.
"The reason why soul beasts cannot become gods is not only due to the obstruction of the divine realm, but also the curse placed by the Dragon God."
Di Tian frowned. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion clearly knew something she shouldn't know at this time. How did it know?
However, this information was too important for him to make a decision on his own; he had to take the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and consult that person.
Coincidentally, when that person emerged from the Lake of Life earlier, he was also awakened by the collision of this power.
After glancing at the three-headed dog again, Di Tian snorted coldly and slapped it awake.
"Fool, you can't even protect the auspicious beast."
Sensing that there was no other presence in the area, Di Tian did not linger and quickly left with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
Meanwhile, Wang Dong'er, who had already entered the White Bone Gate with Electrolux, looked at the gray world before her.
Looking around, the entire land was pitch black, without a single decent plant, a deathly stillness as if no life existed.
Even the sun high in the sky was black, emitting an eerie purple light.
Further away, there were dark hills that blocked the view, making it impossible to see any further.
Behind Wang Dong'er was the skeletal gate they had just entered through.
Electrolux was right beside her, a hint of smugness on his face.
"This is a demiplane of the dead that I have created. If I can truly become a god, this demiplane of the dead may very well become a complete plane."
"However, in my world, becoming a god means disappearing, which is different from your world."
"I almost forgot, you also know a bit about my world." As he spoke, the smug look on Electrox's face turned into a sigh.
"Although I don't know where you learned about me, since you know my name, you must also know my story."
"Since we are here today, Wang Dong'er, I swear on my remaining soul to this demiplane of the dead that I will entrust all my knowledge to you. Are you willing to accept?"
Electrolux looked serious.
To be honest, Wang Dong'er could try to get Electrolux's gold coins through system tasks, but looking at this old man with only a little bit of remnant soul left, she had no such idea in her mind.
"If Elder Yi is willing to entrust all his knowledge to a junior, then the junior is naturally willing." Wang Dong'er's voice was also extremely serious.
"I hereby swear that I, Wang Dong'er, will do everything in my power to help Elder Yi restore his soul and body, and to restore the name of the Holy God of the Dead."
"Hahaha. Good, good, good!" Electrolux laughed loudly, saying "good" three times in a row.
"You possess the constitution of a child of light, and in this world you should be called the ultimate light. Unfortunately, I have memory loss, and I don't remember much light magic."
"Actually, what I have learned now is more about necromancy. Don't be fooled by the fact that necromancy seems evil; my necromancy is a fusion of light magic, and it has a strong resistance to light."
"In the world I live in, becoming a god means dissolving and merging with the Dao into heaven and earth. Therefore, I disdain becoming a god, but godhood is ultimately my goal."
"Therefore, I hope that this necromancy I possess can also be passed down to you, and witness your ascension to godhood."
"However, whether the magic of my world can be reproduced in this world, I still need to study it first."
"Furthermore, I have also made some progress on the method by which the soul ring preserves the soul of the soul beast. According to the naming conventions of your world, perhaps it should be called a soul spirit."
After rambling on and on, Electrolux laughed again, "As people get older, they talk more. Now that you've formally become my apprentice, you'll call me 'teacher' from now on."
"Teacher," Wang Dong'er called out.
Looking at Wang Dong'er, Electrolux suddenly recalled his youthful exuberance.
"Unbeknownst to me, so much time has passed."
"Alright, those people outside should have left by now. You should go back too. I might have to go into a deep sleep for a while after forcibly opening the Gate of the Dead. Even if there's danger, I might not be able to help you in time. Be careful."
Wang Dong'er nodded and separated out the pure energy obtained from refining Tang San's divine consciousness, saying, "Let's use this energy to restore Teacher's soul first."
"Alright, that's thoughtful of you." Electrox waved his hand, absorbing all the energy.
The gate made of piled bones opened again. Wang Dong'er took one last look at this strange undead demiplane before turning and stepping into the gate.
Outside, in the Starry Sky Forest.
Emerging from the gate of bones, we found ourselves back in the same place.
But the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had long since disappeared.
However, perhaps Wang Dong'er was special, because she could vaguely sense the location of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, which was deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest.

{1} Electrox shook his head and said, "No, I am just a human who does not wish to become a god. In my original world, becoming a god meant eternal annihilation. But in this world, it seems different. Unfortunately, I no longer have the foundation to become a god."
{2} "I have carefully experienced your world. Your world is different from mine. In my world, the existence of gods is equivalent to elevating one's soul to an extremely high level—a kind of sublimation. They only exist in a vague and ethereal state in space, like transforming into countless elements, no longer able to control anything. But in your world, there seems to be a special power that allows one to ascend to another place after reaching that level of cultivation. This is true godhood! It's a pity that your teacher will not live to see that day. [If that day ever comes, please make the necromancy that your teacher taught you a part of your abilities. This is your teacher's greatest wish.]"
