Huo Yuer, who had just exuded a confident aura, suddenly blushed. After all, she was still an unmarried young maiden.
Having a man—even an elderly one—linger in her consciousness was simply unacceptable.
Electrolux seemed to recall something and looked apologetically at Huo Yuer.
Then, he turned to Ye Wen and said, "I'll leave everything to your arrangement, Master. And there's no need to address me as 'esteemed guest.' Just call me by my name."
Ye Wen studied Electrolux carefully. He had originally intended to directly restore Electrolux to his prime as a reserve of strength. However, such power would be insignificant now and might even draw unwanted attention from the God Realm.
!
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Ye Wen's mind. With a warm smile, he asked Electrolux, "Electrolux, although I can restore you to your peak condition, I'd like to ask—would you be willing to start anew with a fresh life?"
Caught off guard by the question, Electrolux hesitated. He felt that his past was filled with sorrow and tragedy, and he no longer harbored the same obsession or longing for power. His only remaining desire was for a peaceful world.
"What do you mean, Master?" Electrolux considered the possibilities but remained uncertain as he asked.
Ye Wen enjoyed conversing with someone as perceptive as Electrolux—it saved him the trouble of over-explaining. He nodded affirmatively and replied, "I plan to reincarnate you as an ordinary person. This will give you the chance to cultivate anew and comprehend the cosmic laws of this world.
Most importantly, as you've already heard, I hope you'll assist Little Yu'er by staying by her side."
Before Electrolux could react, Huo Yuer was already moved to tears. Though she had long known how considerate her master was, hearing such words directly as a naive young girl was overwhelming.
However, neither Ye Wen nor Electrolux paid much attention to the emotional teenager.
At this moment, a look of relief and anticipation spread across Electrolux's face as he bowed slightly to Ye Wen.
"I'll follow your instructions, Master."
"Very well," Ye Wen nodded faintly and raised his right hand. A sacred and powerful force manifested at this moment.
Feeling this familiar yet foreign divine energy, Electrolux was initially startled but quickly adapted, even marveling inwardly.
"What an all-encompassing divine power, imbued with sanctity… It feels so familiar and warm."
Before Electrolux could dwell further on his thoughts, his entire soul began to twist, reverting to its primordial state as a ball of light.
Then, a remarkable sight unfolded.
A golden, pulsating heart emerged from the void, slowly giving rise to veins, bones, muscles, and skin.
Ultimately, an eleven- or twelve-year-old gray-haired boy appeared before the three girls.
His handsome face and chiseled eight-pack abs stirred the innocent hearts of the teenage girls. The three quickly averted their gazes, and Ye Wen hastily conjured clothing for Electrolux.
But that wasn't the end. Ye Wen gently tapped Electrolux's forehead.
While he had just formed Electrolux's body, he hadn't yet bestowed upon him the fundamental rules of Douluo Continent. Without this, Electrolux wouldn't truly belong to this world.
Electrolux's body gently descended to the ground, and at this moment, he opened his gray eyes, now tinged with a hint of golden light.
The next second, aside from Huo Yu'er, Jiang Nannan and Xiao Xiao simultaneously felt a heavy pressure. Their spirit souls began to tremble involuntarily.
Both girls understood what this sensation meant and muttered in unison, "Spirit Suppression!"
At this point, Electrolux seemed to regain his bearings and slowly raised his hands, feeling the unfamiliar yet familiar flesh once more.
Ye Wen then explained, "The rule of Douluo Continent is that every human possesses their own spirit. I have condensed your original essence, the Holy Necromancer, into your spirit.
However, your spirit isn't a Body Spirit but rather an Elemental Spirit. You can no longer use the title of Holy Necromancer, as the word 'holy' is highly sensitive on Douluo Continent. Think of a new name for yourself later.
{T/N: In Chinese '神' can mean 'Holy', 'God', 'Divine' etc.}
Moreover, due to the rampant presence of evil spirit masters, it's best not to reveal your ability to control undead creatures in daily life. Otherwise, Shrek Academy might take action without hesitation.
I don't want to see you being hunted down, though I'm sure you wouldn't fear it.
The specifics will be taught to you by Little Yu'er and the others later.
Additionally, you're born with Level 20 innate soul power. However, normal spirit masters typically start with only Level 10. If outsiders ask, just say you're Level 10—it's better to avoid drawing too much attention. I trust you understand the principle of 'a tall tree catches the wind.'
Finally, regarding your identity, you can claim to be Little Yu'er's distant cousin."
Though Ye Wen appeared unusually talkative at this moment, Electrolux felt a warmth in his heart. After fully mastering his new body, he respectfully bowed to Ye Wen in gratitude.
Subsequently, Electrolux absorbed two soul rings, both reaching the thousand-year level. While this configuration was somewhat conspicuous in the current Douluo Continent, the existence of various rare treasures made it plausible for influential factions to invest heavily in nurturing such prodigies.
After all, absorbing soul rings from ten thousand years ago was entirely feasible as long as one's physical endurance was strong enough.
As for Yu Xiaogang's theory of ultimate soul rings? Hmph.
Though Yu Xiaogang was still highly praised on Douluo Continent, any spirit master with real depth held his theories in disdain.
If not for his association with the Sea God's teacher, his theories would have been ridiculed long ago. For now, they were quietly ignored, allowing him to retain some dignity.
By this time, the semester at Shrek Academy was nearing its end, making it impossible to enroll Electrolux immediately.
This was precisely why Ye Wen had deliberately set Electrolux's age at eleven.
After finishing these arrangements, the group returned to Shrek City.
Perhaps due to the overwhelming events of the day, the three girls retired early to sleep.
That night, all three dreamed vividly.
Huo Yu'er dreamed of herself receiving worship from thousands, her body adorned with ten spirit rings, living a life of unparalleled ease with her mother.
Jiang Nannan dreamed of her mother recovering from illness, while she herself became a female general, second only to the ruler and above all others.
In contrast to the other two's pleasant dreams, Xiao Xiao silently wept in her sleep.
She dreamed of her long-forgotten parents, who continuously comforted her, hoping she would have a bright future.
Eventually, Xiao Xiao awoke with a start.
At this moment, she finally realized that she, too, longed for a warm and loving home.
