Chapter 120 Luo Yu and Su Yu
"You're right. Necromancy is actually just one branch of magic in my world. It's not scary at all, and it's the kind of magic that's closest to the essence and origin of humanity. All research on necromancy is based on life."
As Electrox continuously passed on his knowledge to Su Yu, he began to explain the origins of necromancy.
"The earliest form of necromancy was the result of humanity's struggle against the laws of nature in order to prolong their lives. However, as the study of necromancy deepened, a small number of necromancers gradually deviated from the original path. They used necromancy to strengthen themselves, using killing to deprive other living beings of their life force or other things to enhance themselves."
Su Yu listened quietly, but he also knew that no matter what kind of magic it was, if people's hearts were not upright and they could not control its power, it would eventually go astray.
"Teacher, I have a question. Since you can transform extreme light into extreme darkness, can other opposing elements also be transformed?"
Su Yu had also considered this issue, meaning it was possible for someone to possess both extreme attributes simultaneously through a method that turned adversity into fortune. For example, Elder Yi, or the Snow Empress whose origin was accidentally ignited by the Jade Bed.
In other words, it is theoretically possible to obtain two completely opposite, yet mutually antagonistic, attributes through the method of turning adversity into prosperity.
"While it is indeed possible—for example, your teacher, I once transformed the ultimate light into the ultimate darkness, which is how I came to be known as the Undead Scourge and the Holy Law of the Necromancers—I am not sure if something similar could happen in your world. Perhaps you should consult the records of your Shrek Academy."
Electrolux recounted the story slowly, clearly unsure whether a similar event had occurred on the Douluo Continent.
However, Su Yu was certain that even if such a thing had happened, that person would have died instantly when it occurred. Even if it had, it would have been impossible for them to survive, since not everyone is like Huo Gua, or has an invincible system.
"In my memory, I was once a powerful mage. Initially, I was a being of the light element, skilled in various light magics. Later, due to certain events, my heart was filled with hatred. Relying on my talent, I switched to necromancy and discovered a new path: necromancy of the light element. I don't want to tell you the sad stories of the past."
"But before you fully accept my necromancy legacy, you must remember this: it is precisely because of the taboos and power of necromancy that it is all the more dangerous. To sink into darkness is to be destroyed by darkness. To live a life of the dead, yet keep your heart turned toward the light. These are the eight words your teacher will imprint deep within your soul. No matter what, you must never let hatred blind you. Your teacher does not wish for necromancy to flourish in your hands; your teacher only wishes for this lineage to continue."
During the inheritance process, Electrolux continued to guide Su Yu away from the evil path. In fact, Su Yu's initial plan was even more brutal: to devour the soul rings of all the soul beasts in Douluo Continent in order to obtain powerful strength.
However, Su Yu later clarified his thinking: although this method could help him succeed, it could not be a one-time solution.
Now, an idea that combines several paths has officially emerged in his mind: the paths of Soul Guidance, Necromancer, Soul Master, and Dragon God all converge here...
Every ancient king would have his head chopped off by a new and strong king, then turn around and sit on that shaky throne, waiting for the next king to arrive.
However, what Su Yu needs to do is to become a new and eternally strong king, standing forever on the throne!
…………
With Electrolux passing on a wealth of information to him, Su Yu also sensed the mystery and power of necromancy. Having inherited Electrolux's legacy, if Su Yu could master it all, he would become the next necromantic calamity, the Holy God of the Dead!
What Su Yu was most looking forward to was the undead demiplane that Electrolux left him, a plane that contained the power he needed!
Since that's the case, let's officially begin my own kingdom of the dead!
Su Yu's eyes turned completely gray, and a large door slowly opened in front of him. Here, Su Yu could feel the aura of death.
Dark filth, evil, mystery...
Su Yuqi felt deep sympathy for Electrolux's plight, given that such a pure undead plane existed. From being a child of light to the undead calamity, the suffering and despair he endured were unimaginable. If he hadn't been utterly despondent, how could he have thrown himself into darkness?
…………
The weakened Elder Yi is not yet able to fully control this undead demiplane, but Su Yu is now the master of this world.
Currently, Su Yu can only command some low-level undead, but he has also discovered that the undead in this plane have an extraordinary resistance to light attributes, which is obviously related to Elder Yi.
However, this plane has not been open for very long, and Elder Yi is still too weak to perfectly control his aura. Once the aura of the undead demiplane is exposed, Su Yu doesn't know what kind of old monsters he will attract.
If it's one of the large groups from the Holy Spirit Cult, then things could get really interesting...
After closing the plane of the dead, Su Yu had no choice but to rest. The amount of information he was receiving was too vast, and even though his spiritual sea had been expanded several times by the Gold of Life and Elder Yi, he still couldn't handle it.
It's not that Su Yu is weak, but that Elder Yi's legacy is too powerful. Even though Elder Yi's consciousness is weak now, even if Tianmeng and Bingdi joined forces, they couldn't shake Elder Yi in the slightest!
At his peak, Ilham was incredibly powerful, beyond imagination...
The following day, Su Yu asked Mingde Hall for a week's leave because an accident occurred while making a soul tool, resulting in his injury.
Although this reason is somewhat far-fetched, such things are common in Mingde Hall. News of soul-guided device explosions frequently breaks out in the laboratories, and coincidentally, Su was one of them...
After this inheritance, Elder Yi's spiritual consciousness weakened considerably, and while Su Yu rested, Elder Yi also fell into a deep sleep.
That complex and vast inheritance contained countless necromancy and related knowledge, which even made Su Yu, with his strong mental power, feel a headache.
Clearly, Electrolux did not pass on all of Huo Yuhao's necromancy back then, or perhaps his weakened consciousness at the time simply couldn't remember so much.
Otherwise, Huo Yuhao's strongest attack in the later techniques he used would definitely not have been adding emotional power to Rong Nianbing's blade.
Flesh and blood are weak and feeble, while machinery soars to new heights...
Well, that doesn't seem like it's impossible.
Although this idea had been growing wildly in Su's mind for a long time, he forcefully nipped it in the bud because he couldn't even do spirit forging right now...
According to the Dragon King legend, there are four levels of forging: Hundred Forging, Thousand Forging, Spirit Forging, Soul Forging, and Heaven Forging.
This division occurred after the Soul Guidance system became widespread throughout the world. Reality is cruel. Even though Su's learning and copying abilities are top-notch, he still needs to explore his own path forward, because he can only reach the Thousand Refinements level at present.
This is the result after using the complete Eighty-One Hammers Chaotic Wind Hammer Technique. If further paths need to be opened, it will still require the help of necromancy.
However, the most direct effect is that one's soul tool is improved in all aspects. In fact, after all of them were replaced with rare metals refined a thousand times, the soul tool's capabilities were enhanced in all aspects.
However, there are still many top blacksmiths on the Douluo Continent who can achieve this level.
Clearly, whichever path one chooses, it involves a long and arduous journey...
After five days of reorganization, everything is finally back on track.
Since inheriting necromancy, Su Yu has been able to clearly sense the evil spirit masters hidden in Mingdu.
However, this was not Su Yu's business. After all, the Holy Spirit Cult had now colluded with the Sun Moon Empire. With Su Yu's current mastery of necromancy, even if he couldn't infiltrate the evil spirit masters, he certainly had the potential to become a charlatan.
Especially after encountering a girl named Nana, this guy became incredibly bold and skilled. Seeing that Su Yu was only a level 4 Soul Master with a three-ring cultivation level, he decided to defeat Su Yu in order to obtain higher ranking points and exchange them for more rare metals.
However, before Nana could release her martial soul, Su Yu used a small Soul-Sealing Technique from necromancy to temporarily seal it back.
Of course, Su Yu didn't leave any openings. He knocked the other party unconscious to prevent them from discovering anything. After all, now was not the time to kidnap people for his sect.
Actually, that's not the most outrageous thing. The main problem is that some necromancy spells require chanting, and the content of those chants is really no different from what a charlatan would say...
…………
"Xuanzi, is there still no news about Su Yu's family?" A hint of melancholy appeared in Elder Mu's eyes.
Seeing Elder Mu's somewhat disappointed expression, Elder Xuan said helplessly, "Su Xinyuan said that Su Yu has now inherited everything from the Su family, and he can no longer go to Shrek Academy in the short term. Only after the family's affairs are settled can Su Yu leave the family."
Old Mu suddenly coughed violently and said with some difficulty, "If that day really comes, I want Su Yu to come back. I have something to tell him..."
"What is it, Elder Mu? Tell me now, I, I, I'll, I'll..." Looking at Elder Mu's already haggard face, Elder Xuan's voice also became somewhat choked.
Old Master Mu waved his hand and shook his head. "We've lived for so many years already, what's one more moment? I've arranged everything that needed to be arranged, so I have nothing to worry about. The same goes for you, Xuanzi. You're stubborn and lack composure. In the future, when you encounter problems, don't always think about solving them with strength..."
"Teacher, is there really no other way?" Yan Shaozhe, who was standing to the side, was also a little agitated, and even the hand supporting Elder Mu was trembling slightly.
With a calm expression, Moon looked at the students leaving school and slowly said, "Everyone has to leave one day. You are all getting on in years. I have already given you all the advice I needed to give. Come with me for a walk."
"The same goes for you. Whether now or in the future, everything remains the same," Elder Mu said to the many elders of the Sea God Pavilion.
"Yes," all the elders of the Sea God Pavilion replied respectfully in unison.
Yan Shaozhe helped Mu En walk on the Sea God Island. With each step, Mu En's brows relaxed a little.
"Shrek's predecessors, Moon has not disappointed you. Among our descendants, there are still young people who can carry on Shrek's legacy."
Yes, there are the new generation of Seven Devils, the senior sister of the inner courtyard Zhang Lexuan, and Su Yu who is still missing!
In this era, Moon became the well-deserved master of the Sea God Pavilion, and with his own strength, he made Shrek Academy shine with its own light, just like the Holy Dragon of Light, who was bathed in light for his entire life!
Whether it's the Sea God Pavilion of later generations or the Sea God Pavilion of earlier generations, it's rare to find a pavilion master who can rival Moon.
The title of Dragon Emperor Douluo is well-deserved!
As the sun set, in the twilight, the hunched-over Moon, like an old man in his twilight years, gazed kindly at the sky dyed red by the afterglow of the sunset. At the place where it all began, in this place that held countless hopes, Moon smiled…
"As long as I, Mu En, live, the Douluo Continent will never be ruled by alien races. Even if I, Mu En, am gone, the descendants of Shrek will still inherit my will and continue to fight..."
…………
Before Su Yu, a person exactly like him slowly took shape. After a month of attempts, it was finally successful.
Several times, he almost had his mental sea completely torn apart. Looking at the person in front of him who looked exactly like him, Su Yu couldn't help but shed tears of excitement.
In order to completely separate the two identities, Su Yu had to use necromancy, guided by his own soul and aided by his mental power and immense life force, to create a second clone of himself under the guidance of Electrox.
However, this clone does not have a martial soul; it is just like Su Yu's mirror image, except that it has an identity that can move.
In terms of physical strength, he only inherited half of Su Yu's strength and soul power. Although he did not have a martial soul, he was able to use the soul skills that Su Yu had absorbed from the soul bones.
However, his spiritual power is only half that of his physical body. If Su Yu makes another breakthrough in necromancy, he should be able to share his martial soul and soul power with it.
After carefully changing the appearance of this clone to resemble Luo Yu, Su Yu began to share the spirit and consciousness of both of them. What he needed now was not just a clone, but also a conscious clone!
However, this was enough to deal with the current situation. Looking at the clone opposite him, Su Yu slowly said, "From today onwards, your name will be Luo Yu."
Thank you to Zhangxinmilu, KongluQAQ, and Yabada for the donations.
Thank you for the monthly pass, Qingshuipaopaoer.
I won't abandon this project, so don't worry. The hiatus is due to studying. Thank you all for your support.
