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

Chapter 57 Are all necromancers this new these days?

……

"Thunderstorm!"

A sharp lightning flashed in Yuehui's purple eyes, and the lightning magnetic barrier protecting everyone instantly erupted with dazzling lightning!

The lightning collided with the pure death energy, exploding violently. Amidst the deafening roar, the entire barrier trembled violently, and spiderweb-like cracks even appeared on its surface.

But in the end, they managed to withstand this wave of impact.

"Hurry up!" Moonbeam shouted, taking the lead into the tower.

The moment he stepped into the tower, the shrill whistling that had been echoing in his ears abruptly stopped, replaced by a suffocating silence.

Suddenly, the scene becomes clear——

A magnificent gray-white hall stood silently, with forty-eight towering pillars supporting a dome nearly ten feet high. The entire space was shrouded in a distorted gray-white light, as if time had frozen here.

As Cai'er and the others entered one after another, the door behind them suddenly closed silently with a dull "bang".

"A trap?"

Wang Yuanyuan held the shield in one hand, her body slightly lowered, like a cheetah poised to pounce, her sharp eyes scanning her surroundings.

At this very moment——

A hoarse voice, seemingly traversing a thousand years, echoed softly within the tower:
"Welcome to eternity and eternal rest."

The voice continued with an undeniable air of authority:

"Being able to step into the Tower of Eternity proves that you are already a necromancer of the sixth rank or above. Child, you are lucky enough to have come into contact with the real world of the dead."

"This Eternal Tower embodies my wisdom of a thousand years. If you can pass the test and reach the top, you will inherit my mantle in its entirety. At that time, necromancy will reappear in the world, forcing those hypocrites of the Glorious Church to repent in eternal death!"

The voice suddenly became serious:

"Remember, you are the first necromancer to enter the Tower of Eternity, and you will be my only successor. The road ahead may be challenging, but there will be no danger to your life—provided you pass the first trial."

Finally, his tone returned to calm:
"What you are hearing now is my last message before I went to my eternal sleep. After passing through the first level, the Tower of Eternity will close and you will be transported to an independent plane. Only those who possess the token can enter again."

The sound gradually faded away, leaving only the final declaration:

"I await you at the top of the tower, hoping you will inherit the legacy of me, the Necromancer Saint, the Sleeping Scourge, Elex!"

...

After the sound dissipated, the tower was once again shrouded in deathly silence.

An expression of disbelief froze on everyone's faces.

Although they didn't know who Electrox was, the name "Necromancer" resounded in their ears like a thunderclap.

It was that cataclysmic disaster that shattered the three great human empires, severed countless lineages, and dealt a heavy blow to their vitality.

Then the demons took advantage of the situation and invaded, thus ending the glorious era.

And now.
They were facing the legacy left behind by a necromancer!

"Regimental Commander, what should we do?"

The usually composed Long Haochen's voice revealed a rare hint of confusion.

As the Son of Light of the Knights' Temple, he could not accept the necromancer's legacy under any circumstances.

Just as Moonlight was about to speak, Electrolux's voice suddenly rang out again:

"I almost forgot, now let's test your attributes to see which type of necromancer you are."

Lu Xi panicked immediately: "We're doomed! We don't have any dark attributes at all!"

He knew very well that necromancers were a variant of the dark magic, but there was no dark spiritual power between them.

Suddenly, several gray-white beams of light shot down from the dome, enveloping everyone. Moonlight felt a bone-chilling cold seep into her body, as if her blood were freezing, and she couldn't even move a finger.

His spiritual power was constantly compressed and solidified in his meridians, making it impossible to circulate.

At this critical moment—

A lightning bolt-shaped mark suddenly appeared between his eyebrows!
"Zizi~"

A blinding burst of lightning exploded, and purple-gold electricity flowed like a dragon across the moon's surface, tearing apart the corrosive death energy.

The gray-white light disintegrated amidst the thunder, and Moonbeam finally regained control of her body.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Yuehui's forehead.

(What terrifying power!)

Even when I faced Thanatos, the god of death, I never felt this kind of trembling in my very soul.

The gray-white light that enveloped everyone suddenly dissipated, and Lu Xi staggered to the ground, frantically checking her body with her hands: "We...we're actually alright?" Her voice was full of disbelief.

The moonlight gazed at the dome, its brow furrowed.

(Why didn't the message of the Child of Light's legacy trigger?)
"Commander, should we leave?" Long Haochen's voice came through.

As the Son of Light of the Knights' Temple, he instinctively felt uncomfortable in this place where necromancers inherited their legacy and only wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Just then, Electrolux's voice suddenly boomed inside the tower, tinged with surprise and amusement:
"A chaotic being, a follower of the Grim Reaper, a descendant of a god, a follower of the Thunder God... and mixed with both light and darkness?"

The voice paused, then let out a soft chuckle, "Are all necromancers this new these days?"

Yuehui felt a chill run down her spine and up her neck.

This was definitely not a pre-ordained sound.

This means... Electrolux is awake!

“However,” the voice suddenly softened, “my children, the most suitable candidates have been found to carry on my legacy.”

Suddenly, a pure white light shone inside the tower, completely different from the previous aura of death.

Electrox's voice carried a hint of pride: "Because I! Electrox, am a necromancer of the Light attribute! And among you, there is one who is a child of Light just like me!"

The grayish-white light re-condensed, transforming into a warm halo.

In the halo, a delicate necklace slowly emerged—strung together with dozens of transparent gemstones the size of soybeans, emitting a reassuring soft fluorescence.

A unique pendant, about the size of a thumbnail, hangs from the center of the necklace.

It was an exquisite white skull, yet it did not appear sinister or terrifying at all.

What is most striking is the position of its eyes, where two clusters of golden flames dance, shimmering with a warm and sacred light as if they were alive.

“My dear successor,” Electrox’s voice suddenly became incredibly gentle, “this is my token. When you are ready to receive the inheritance, simply infuse it with spiritual power.”

Long Haochen's expression changed drastically. Just as he was about to refuse, he saw the light element suddenly liquefy and flow into his body like warm spring water.

When he came to his senses, the necklace named "Eternal Melody" was already quietly hanging around his neck.

“Of course,” Electrox’s voice faded into the distance, “If you want to bring companions along for training, you’re welcome to join me.”

Silence returned to the tower, and the gates of the Eternal Tower behind them slowly reopened.

“What…what does this mean?” Lu Xi’s lips trembled slightly.

Moonlight took a deep breath and gritted her teeth: "We... need to get out of here first!"

　There's more to the story; the author has already divided up the various inheritances of Elder Yi.

　　According to the original novel, Long Haochen was unwilling to accept Electrolux's legacy.

　　So... he won't get a share in the inheritance!
