Throne of Gods: Divine thunder descends, and the Qilin descends upon the world!

Chapter 124 Little Dragon's Belief, Electrolux's Belated Awakening

As Moonbeam finished speaking, the entire sixth floor of the Tower of Eternity fell into a brief silence.

The air seemed to freeze, and even breathing could be clearly heard.

After a long while, Electrolux's voice echoed in the space once more:

"You also want to become my disciple?"

The voice remained calm as still water, but everyone present could sense the subtle emotional fluctuations within it.

Having observed the team for nearly three years, Electrolux had become intimately familiar with the seven-man squad.

The Moonbeam, who can wield thunder and possesses both light and darkness within her, is undoubtedly the strongest in the team, in terms of strength, talent, and comprehension.

But it was precisely because Long Haochen, like him, was a Child of Light that he chose him as his successor without hesitation.

But now, this unexpected request has caused the Necromancer Saint to hesitate for the first time.

"Is that not allowed?" Yuehui raised her head slightly, her gaze fixed on a certain point in the void.

Electrolux's voice remained calm: "You are not suited to my legacy."

A faint smile appeared on Yuehui's lips: "Even so, I still want to see the true face of the legendary long-sleeping calamity, the Necromancer God."

The tower fell silent once more, as if time itself had stood still.

A moment later, Electrox's voice finally rang out again: "If he can reach the seventh floor via the Stairway to Heaven, I can make an exception and let you come along."

A glint of light flashed in Yuehui's eyes.

His biggest fear was being rejected outright, but it now seems that Electrolux is not entirely uninterested in him.

"Haochen, it's up to you now." Yuehui turned to look at her companion beside her, her tone encouraging.

Long Haochen took a deep breath and nodded firmly.

He silently recited in his heart:

(For the sake of the bright moon.)

(For the Holy Temple Alliance.)

(Also for the leader!)
With this determination, Long Haochen resolutely stepped onto the ladder leading to the seventh floor.

……

The test to reach the seventh level is to seal one's spiritual power and kowtow at every step of the heavenly staircase.

However, unlike the original timeline, Long Haochen, as Electrolux's chosen successor, did not face the same rigorous trials that Cai'er experienced back then.

When Long Haochen was halfway down the stairs, exhausted, a dazzling portal of light suddenly opened up in front of him.

A soft light enveloped him, and he vanished from the spot in an instant.

Almost at the same moment, a similar portal appeared in front of Yuehui.

He gently squeezed Cai'er's hand: "I'll be right back."

Before he finished speaking, his tall figure had already stepped into the portal of light.

...

The moment he passed through the portal, the dazzling golden light made Yuehui unconsciously squint.

Once vision returned, what appeared before them was a sacred temple completely different from the first six floors of the Tower of Eternity.

This circular hall, about thirty meters in diameter, is surrounded by twelve gilded pillars, each inscribed with intricate and mysterious runes.

The dome is perfectly curved, echoing the huge golden six-pointed star on the ground.

A faint golden mist swirled within the hall, shrouding the entire space in a veil of mystery.

In the very center of the hall, a magnificent golden coffin, five meters long and three meters wide, rests quietly.

The surface of the coffin was inlaid with countless rare gems, and the magic crystals of ninth-tier magical beasts and the elixirs of human powerhouses were arranged in an orderly manner, shimmering with a dreamlike brilliance under the reflection of the golden mist.

Long Haochen had recovered completely and was in high spirits, except for his slightly torn clothes from kneeling.

"My disciple, you have finally come before me." A wisp of pure white smoke rose from the golden coffin and gradually condensed in mid-air.

It was an old man whose image was exactly the same as the statue at the end of each floor, except that his lower body was still connected to the golden coffin, like a wisp of mist.

"Are you the Sleeping Calamity Electrolux?" Moonlight stared directly at the ghostly figure.

Electrolux nodded slightly: "Indeed. Young man, explain your purpose. Does my legacy truly hold such appeal for you?"

Yuehui shook her head, her tone sincere: "Elder Yi, please allow me to address you as such. I am not here for the inheritance, but to ask you for an important request."

Long Haochen immediately knelt down on one knee: "Senior, please lend a helping hand."

A flicker of interest crossed Electrox's eyes: "Oh? Tell me about it."

Long Haochen then began to recount the crisis facing Haoyue, the rampant demon race, and the predicaments facing humanity.

"The God of Divine Punishment? The Demon Race?"

After listening to Long Haochen's account, Electrolux appeared slightly dazed.

After a moment, he refocused his gaze and looked at the Son of Light before him.

He clearly sensed the young man's rejection of his identity as a necromancer, yet he still spoke:

"I do have the ability to split the soul of a god."

Electrolux's voice suddenly turned deep, "But the price is—you must abandon your faith in light, inherit my mantle, and become the new generation of Necromancer God."

Long Haochen's pupils contracted slightly, but hope quickly rekindled: "Can you really do it? Can you really separate Austin Griffin from Haoyue's body?"

"Hmph!" Electrox said arrogantly, "I am Electrox, the Necromancer Saint, the Sleeping Calamity! A mere reincarnation of an otherworldly god—"

His voice suddenly rose, causing the entire golden hall to tremble, "Even if a true god were to descend, I, Elex, would dare to fight him!"

“I do!” Long Haochen knelt down on one knee without hesitation. “As long as the hidden dangers of Haoyue are resolved, I am willing to give up my faith in light and inherit your power!”

This answer clearly startled Electrox. "...As one of the chosen ones of the Goddess of Light, how could you so easily betray your faith?"

Long Haochen raised his head, his eyes filled with a determination like an undying star: "Faith is important, but Haoyue is my family, my most important partner."

His voice was strong and clear: "The leader said that power itself has no inherent good or evil, right or wrong; the key lies in the user's heart."

"As long as necromancy can save Haoyue, fight against the demons, and protect the people I want to protect."

At this point, Long Haochen paused, his right hand unconsciously touching his chest: "Then even if it means abandoning the light and falling into darkness, I would not hesitate!"

These resounding words completely stunned Electrolux.

The figure formed by white smoke froze in mid-air, remaining motionless for a long time.

suddenly--

"boom!"

A deafening explosion suddenly rang out!

The violent soul fluctuations swept through the entire hall like a tsunami. Long Haochen and Yuehui had no time to react and were violently thrown away by this force, crashing heavily into the golden pillar.

"what--!!!"

Electrolux threw his head back and let out a heart-wrenching scream.

His soul twisted and trembled violently, and large clumps of death energy erupted from his body like fountains.

Even more strangely, pure, holy white flames blazed fiercely on the surface of his soul.

Yuehui gritted her teeth and crossed her arms in front of her.

He could feel his soul, like a small boat in a storm, about to capsize at any moment, under the impact of this force.

This storm of the soul lasted for a full fifteen minutes before gradually subsiding.

When the last ripple dissipated, Electrox's soul form had become twice its original size.

He slowly lowered his head, his hoarse voice filled with unprecedented confusion:
"am I wrong?"
