Chapter 57: Bestowing the status of the Undead Space, Second-Tier God!
Electrolux felt the warmth of the blood flowing through his body and the majestic power brought by the perfect fusion of his divine soul with this brand-new divine body. A hint of reminiscence and emotion couldn't help but flash in his eyes.
Ten thousand years passed in the blink of an eye. The flesh and blood of his former homeland had long since turned to dust, yet now he had regained new life in a foreign plane. The strangeness of this encounter made even a Necromancer Saint God like him, who had experienced many vicissitudes, feel a sense of sighing.
Lei Chen looked at the complex expression on his face and spoke calmly, his voice peaceful yet carrying a power that smoothed the mind: "All things of the past are like drifting smoke. Since you have regained new life, you should treat it as a brand-new beginning. This plane is your new journey." Hearing this, Electrolux's body shook slightly, and then he slowly nodded. The look of reminiscence in his eyes quickly faded, replaced by a calmness that comes after weathering a thousand storms.
He took a deep breath, as if drawing ten thousand years of ups and downs into his chest, then slowly exhaled. His gaze had become clear and focused.
"You are right, Plane Master. There is no meaning in dwelling on the past. Since I am reborn here, I should naturally start anew in this place."
Electrolux's voice was steady, carrying a determination born from destruction and rebirth.
Lei Chen nodded slightly, quite satisfied with Electrolux's shift in mindset. He continued: "In that case, let us begin by fulfilling the agreement we made back then."
"You have already integrated the Undead Demi-plane into this world to help me break through. According to the contract, the 'Undead Space' formed by the Undead Demi-plane still belongs to you in terms of status. Now that your state is fully restored, it is time to formally bestow it upon you."
Before his voice had even faded, Lei Chen lightly flicked his sleeve.
Electrolux only felt the surrounding scenery blur slightly. It wasn't the kind of violent spatial tearing or dizziness, but rather as if the image before his eyes was gently wiped away by an invisible hand and instantly redrawn.
The next moment, that rich aura of life had completely vanished, replaced by a familiar, unique energy field mixed with the meaning of death and silence.
The two had already left that spatial fold filled with Life Origin and were now standing in a grey, strange space.
The sky was eternally black, the earth was cracked, and in the distance, vague figures of undead creatures could be seen wandering. The air was permeated with faint soul fluctuations and the scent of decay.
This place was precisely the Undead Space formed after Electrolux's Undead Demi-plane integrated into the Douluo Plane.
However, upon first arriving here, Electrolux's face did not immediately show emotion for his old haunt; instead, it revealed a subtle hint of surprise and contemplation.
He subconsciously recalled that instantaneous spatial transition... it was too fast, too natural! So natural that even a former god-level powerhouse like himself had failed to detect any ripples of spatial laws being invoked, nor did he feel any discomfort from being forcibly transferred.
It was as if he was meant to appear here; the previous departure and current return were merely the natural results of a shifting thought.
'Is this the Plane Master's absolute control over space?' Electrolux felt a secret chill in his heart. 'It is not relying on brute force to tear through space for travel, but rather like adjusting the placement of objects within one's own domain—where the mind goes, the position changes.'
'A process that even perception cannot capture is naturally impossible to resist... such methods are truly unfathomable.'
Lei Chen naturally did not know the waves in Electrolux's heart at this moment. He stood suspended under the dark sky of the Undead Space, his gaze calmly sweeping across this land he had personally integrated.
As the Plane Master, he could clearly sense the authority mark at the core of this region, hanging high in the sky within that "sun" emitting a faint purple light—that was the manifestation of the Undead Space's status.
"Focus your mind and prepare to receive the status." Lei Chen did not delay further, speaking up to pull Electrolux's thoughts back.
Electrolux immediately composed himself, suppressing his wonder at the spatial power. He nodded solemnly, then closed his eyes, adjusting his state to its peak and fully sensing this space with which he had a deep connection.
Lei Chen was seen slowly raising his right hand. Seven-colored light of laws flowed from his fingertips. It was not for attack or defense, but like weaving threads of fate, sketching complex and profound runes in the air.
These runes jumped and combined like living things, finally turning into a stream of light that shot directly toward the purple sun in the sky.
"Buzz—!"
Triggered by the will of the Plane Master, that purple sun suddenly erupted with brilliant light!
The originally dim radiance instantly became dazzling, bathing the entire Undead Space in a vibrant purple hue.
Immediately after, a thick, solid-looking pillar of purple light, like the Milky Way pouring down from the nine heavens, crashed down from the center of the sun, aimed straight at Electrolux standing below!
The moment the light pillar touched his body, Electrolux's frame shook slightly, but he had long been prepared, opening his body and mind completely to accept it.
Majestic and vast energy, like a flood breaking through a dam, surged frantically into his body.
This energy was not simple life force or Soul Power, but the original Source Power containing the fundamental laws of the Undead Space, perfectly matching Electrolux's own divine soul and divine body attributes.
Under the infusion of this Source Power, Electrolux's aura began to climb rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!
His cultivation barriers, which had just reached the god-level and still needed stabilization, became like wet paper under the impact of this power, breaking instantly. Divine power roared through his meridians, and divine consciousness rapidly expanded and condensed within his Soul Sea.
Level 101, level 105, level 109... the upper limits of levels that the Douluo Plane could currently carry were easily crossed.
However, the elevation did not stop.
Although the Undead Demi-plane was far smaller than the Douluo main plane, its complete framework of laws and accumulated foundation were enough to support the status of a Second-Rank Deity.
Now, under Lei Chen's guidance, this entire potential belonging to the Undead Space was being poured without reservation into Electrolux, the original creator and now the successor of this status.
Electrolux began to emit an increasingly powerful pressure. Milky-white holy radiance and the purple light of the Undead Space intertwined, forming a peculiar scene that was both contradictory and harmonious.
His figure seemed to become taller and more solid within the light pillar, as if he had achieved a deep resonance with the entire Undead Space; every movement could trigger a response from the laws of this world.
When the light of the purple sun gradually faded from its peak, finally returning to its original state of faint burning, the infusion of energy also drew to a close.
Electrolux slowly opened his eyes, a divine light shining in his pupils, as if scenes of countless undead living and dying and laws circulating flashed by.
He lightly clenched his fist, feeling the divine power within his body that far exceeded before, vast and boundless like an ocean, as well as the sense of control in his divine soul that was closely linked to the Undead Space and as easy to use as his own limbs.
His cultivation had already steadily stepped into the level of a Second-Tier God!
