Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 4: I Became the Lord of Soul Beasts?

Floating on the sea, Lin Yun slowly opened his eyes, his brilliant golden eyes reflecting the green sun in the sky.

The confusion and haze in his eyes gradually faded, and he sat up, supporting himself on the sea with his hands.

"Where is this?"

Wait, why did I say "again"?

Lin Yun's mind went blank for a moment, and he looked around warily.

"This is your spiritual sea." An aged voice echoed softly, and a gray bead slowly floated to Lin Yun's front.

"Oh, so it's my Sea of ​​Spirit! Then you are...? Wait, the gray bead!" Lin Yun nodded subconsciously, but after realizing something was wrong, his eyes widened suddenly, and his jaw almost dropped.

The gray bead in the sea of ​​spirit, and the voice that belonged to an old man—such a familiar plot, such a strong sense of déjà vu—Lin Yun wasn't stupid. He instantly thought of a certain scientific research guru, a great magician.

Necromancer Saint, Undead Scourge - Electrox!

The gray bead, also known as Electrolux, paused slightly upon seeing Lin Yun's expression, then asked with some confusion, "You seem to know me?"

"No, I just remembered the last scene before I fell into a coma. At that time, I thought I was hallucinating. I never expected that you would actually reside in my mental sea." Lin Yun tried to remain calm.

He didn't want to reveal that he was a time traveler, at least not yet.

Although I've read the original story and know that Electrolux isn't a villain, but rather a good teacher and friend, their relationship is clearly not yet at the point of being completely open and honest with each other.

The gray bead trembled slightly, as if nodding: "I see. In truth, I was presumptuous. If my wisp of divine consciousness were not at risk of being extinguished at any moment, I would not have resorted to such a desperate measure."

"But rest assured, Your Excellency, I will not stay for nothing. I will repay you in kind in the future."

"It's alright, I'm not that petty." Lin Yun waved his hand, his tone very casual.

But this was just him hiding his excitement. In the original work, among the cheat codes of Huo Gu, Electrolux was undoubtedly in the top three!

It's just that Huo Gua doesn't know how to use it, otherwise the help Electrolux could provide would definitely be greater than the power bank that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm is!

Now that this great master has taken up residence in his spiritual sea, Lin Yun is too happy to even think about how to drive this great master out.

"Does Your Excellency know how long I have been unconscious?" Lin Yun asked.

Although he didn't know how long he had been unconscious, Lin Yun knew it wouldn't have been short. If he had known that he would fall into a deep sleep after fusing with the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, he should have found a safe place to fuse with it in the first place.

However, given the emergency situation at that time, if he didn't fuse with it, it seemed he would perish before even taking off and become food for those two soul beasts.

It seems like he had no choice at all!

"Three years," Electrolux said succinctly.

"?!"

Three years?!

Holy crap, I've been unconscious in the Star Dou Great Forest for three years and I'm still alive? I wasn't just swallowed by a passing soul beast?

Lin Yun was shocked.

He didn't even have time to think about why he hadn't starved to death after not eating for three years. He was unconscious in the Star Dou Great Forest. It wasn't just a small snack that a soul beast could easily reach by stretching its neck.

Electrolux seemed to sense Lin Yun's shock and explained, "Not long after I entered your sea of ​​consciousness, a powerful being, whose cultivation was close to mine in life, took you away. Because that unknown being traveled by spatial jump, I don't know how far it is from where you first fell unconscious." "I don't know what happened after that, because there is an even more powerful being who seems to always be near your physical body. My wisp of divine consciousness dares not show itself in front of such a powerful being."

"..." Lin Yun opened his mouth, but immediately fell into a brainstorming session.

The assessment that "close to my cultivation level in my lifetime" was only used by Electrox on Mu En, who was a level 99 Limit Douluo and one of the most powerful humans in the world.

And the one whom Electrolux also used this phrase to describe is definitely no worse than Moon, and may even be stronger.

In the Star Dou Great Forest, he used spatial power to travel, his strength was no less than or even greater than Mu En's, and he even brought him to the side of an even more powerful being.

This series of developments is so obvious that even a fool could figure it out.

"What kind of attribute does the person who took me away have?" Lin Yun asked as a final question, the answer of which would verify his guess.

"If you were asking someone else, I really wouldn't be sure, but that person, I can guarantee he definitely has dark attributes," Electrox said confidently.

"I am extremely familiar with both the attributes of light and darkness, and moreover, he has been in close contact with your body, which is why I was able to sense it!"

Snapped--!

really!

He was abducted by Di Tian and taken back to the Star Dou Great Forest!

Lin Yun slapped his forehead, looked up at the sky with a somewhat doubtful expression, and stared blankly at the green sun.

Electrolux, unaware of Lin Yun's chaotic state of mind, assumed he was curious about the green sun above his head and continued, "The sun you're looking at is actually the Gold of Life, something that people from outside have absorbed into your body."

"Huh?" Lin Yun's mind went blank again.

Infuse the life-gold within me?

Are you kidding me?

The Gold of Life is the lifeblood of the Star Dou Great Forest, used to heal Gu Yuena. How could they be so willing to cut off a piece for him?

"I never expected to encounter a piece of Living Gold so coincidentally," Electrox sighed. "When I first came to this world, my consciousness was as weak as a candle in the wind. If it weren't for this piece of Living Gold, how could I have maintained such a clear mind?"

"With the power of this living gold, I not only stabilized my own consciousness, but also used the immense life force contained within it to transform your body and spirit, bringing you great benefits."

"Okay, thank you." Lin Yun nodded.

That fits your character perfectly; besides Xingdou and his group, you're the only big shot who knows how to utilize the Gold of Life.

Awesome!

So, now the question is—

Why did Di Tian and Gu Yuena bring me back to the Land of Great Calamity and even use the Gold of Life on me?

Shouldn't Gu Yuena have simply swallowed herself to replenish the Golden Dragon King's bloodline and transformed back into the Dragon God?

Did they mistake me for the real Golden Dragon King, and did I successfully infiltrate their ranks and become one of their own?

Good guy.

The Lord of Soul Beasts is actually myself?
