Lin Xiao raised his hand to receive it, but then shook his head.
"These things no longer have any effect on me now."
Lin Xiao's spiritual power was already beyond that of ordinary people, and as his cultivation advanced, his spiritual power grew along with it.
Moreover, in the process of studying necromancy, his spiritual power was constantly being cultivated.
Although he knew that the pearl in front of him was condensed from the spiritual power of the mermaid clan and was naturally a rare treasure for ordinary people, for Lin Xiao, it no longer had much use.
"This one is different."
Liya did not explain much more. She gave Lin Xiao another serious look, her fish tail flicked, and the Heart of the Ocean held in her arms seemed to emit a faint, inconspicuous sea-blue glow. After that, her figure completely disappeared beneath the sea surface.
This time, the mermaid princess, who was somewhat naive but more so kind-hearted, had truly left.
Lin Xiao calmed the thoughts in his heart and put away the pearl in his hand. Whether it was due to the surrounding light reflecting on it, after Lin Xiao stored it, a crystalline golden luster suddenly flashed across the pearl.
The surrounding wind and snow grew stronger by several degrees. Lin Xiao swept his gaze around once, then abruptly changed direction and flew toward the core area of the Extreme North.
His soul power fluctuated slightly within his body, and the Snow Empress's figure appeared beside him once again. With just one glance, she could tell Lin Xiao's destination.
"You're going to the core area?"
"Mm."
Hearing Lin Xiao's affirmative answer, the Snow Empress did not speak, but her expression still showed slight changes.
Ever since she had followed Lin Xiao, although she had lost her freedom, the treatment seemed slightly better than she had expected.
Over these years, she had followed Lin Xiao to see the bustling Mingdu City, witnessed wars where humans slaughtered each other, and even experienced the soul tools created by those humans.
Now, she could even return to the Extreme North like this.
If she was destined to die, dying by Lin Xiao's side did not seem like such a bad choice.
At some point, such a thought had suddenly appeared in the Snow Empress's heart.
"Snow Empress, I want to borrow some places in the Extreme North. You..."
Lin Xiao did not finish his words, but the Snow Empress had already furrowed her brows.
She had been by Lin Xiao's side for so long and had some understanding of him. For him to be unable to even finish the second half of his sentence, what he wanted to say was probably no small matter.
"What do you want to do?"
"I want to do something that no one before has done." Lin Xiao sighed, raising his head to look into the depths of the wind and snow. "I want to set up another bait here in the Extreme North... to attract the Abyss Plane."
"Very well."
What surprised Lin Xiao was that the Snow Empress agreed more readily than he had expected. He immediately turned his head to look at her.
"The Abyss Plane is drawn to all kinds of negative emotions. Even if in the future a region filled with various negative emotions appears in the Extreme North?"
The Snow Empress also looked toward Lin Xiao. "Then let me ask you: if you set up this bait, will it affect the Extreme North and the soul beasts here?"
"There will... more or less be some influence." Lin Xiao did not deceive the Snow Empress. "But with you stepping forward, the soul beasts here can avoid it as much as possible. I will also control it to prevent it from spreading too far."
Since the Snow Empress had become part of Lin Xiao's power, his attitude toward the soul beasts of the Extreme North had naturally changed.
"This is the reason I agreed." Upon hearing this, the Snow Empress withdrew her gaze and likewise looked toward the depths of the Extreme North.
"I don't know whether it's because of your confidence or some other reason, but after becoming like this and following you, you rarely hide anything from souls like me. What you know, I know. What you plan to do, I have also anticipated to some extent."
"This is something a deity would do. Even if it's not you, someone else will come to do it in the future."
"As long as the Extreme North remains the most suitable place in that deity's eyes, sooner or later it will become the way you described."
"But for you to take action, for the soul beasts of the Extreme North, is already the best possible outcome."
Lin Xiao rarely heard the Snow Empress say so much at once. His figure did not stop, and he glanced at the Snow Empress again.
"Aren't you afraid that I'm just deceiving you, only wanting to use you to achieve my goals?"
"You won't." The Snow Empress answered almost without any hesitation, her tone full of certainty.
Lin Xiao looked at the figure beside him, clad in white like snow, like an elf, and suddenly smiled.
Unknowingly, he and the Snow Empress were no longer the person and beast who had once tested each other. Some things no longer need to be spoken to be understood.
"Very well, then I'll tell you my plan." Lin Xiao replied, then lowered his voice slightly and spoke softly.
"Teacher, how long will it roughly take to complete the modification of the Death God Tower?"
"With the materials you brought from Mingde Hall, I've been experimenting these past few days. If everything goes smoothly, the initial modification will probably only take a few months."
"Good, Teacher. Thank you for your hard work."
"There's no need for such words between you and me." Electrolux laughed lightly. "Moreover, it's indeed been a long time since I've seen my proud work. I wonder how much of its might it can still display."
After receiving Electrolux's answer, Lin Xiao turned his gaze back to the Snow Empress.
"Back then, Zhongli Wu did not understand necromancy well and could only use the crudest method, using the statue of the Holy Emperor to absorb the negative energy of the Extreme North to attract the arrival of the Abyss Plane."
"What I want to do will be slightly more sophisticated than his. I will use other devices to collect the negative energy here."
"But where will this negative energy come from?" The Snow Empress's expression shifted slightly.
Back then, to absorb negative energy, Zhongli Wu had deliberately spread the news of the disappearance of the Snow Empress and Ice Emperor in the Extreme North to attract others, and he had even provoked conflicts among the Extreme North soul beasts.
Although the Snow Empress believed that Lin Xiao would not do such a thing, she was still somewhat curious about how Lin Xiao planned to gather enough negative energy in this uninhabited Extreme North.
"While studying necromancy with Teacher, I discovered that souls have different weights."
"The soul is, after all, the combination of the residual spirit after a living being's death and the memories from their life. Perhaps some souls have other special reasons for their formation, but for most souls, the stronger the living being was in life, the stronger their spiritual power and the more complete their soul."
"Likewise, the more powerful the living being, the more power they can produce to attract the Abyss Plane."
"As long as the negative emotions appearing in the Extreme North are sufficiently dense and intense, even if their number is small, it will be enough to draw the Abyss Plane's attention here."
"On this continent, compared to ordinary people without cultivation, soul masters who possess soul power can naturally provide far greater negative emotions."
"And conveniently, in my hands, I have a group of people who are very suitable for this."
