Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 382 Preparing for the Future
Lin Xiao reached out and took it, but shook his head.

"These things are no longer of any use to me now."

Lin Xiao's mental strength was already beyond that of ordinary people, and as his cultivation improved, his mental strength also increased accordingly.

Moreover, his mental strength was constantly being cultivated during the process of learning necromancy.

Although he knew that the pearl in front of him was formed from the spiritual power of the mermaid race and would naturally be a rare treasure for ordinary people, it was no longer of much use to Lin Xiao.

"This one is different."

Liya didn't explain much. She took another serious look at Lin Xiao, then swayed her fishtail. The Ocean Heart she was holding seemed to light up with a faint, inconspicuous sea-blue light. After that, her figure completely disappeared beneath the surface of the sea.

This time, the naive but mostly kind-hearted Little Mermaid has truly left.

Lin Xiaoping calmed her thoughts and put the pearl away. Perhaps it was due to the surrounding light, but after Lin Xiaoping put it away, the pearl suddenly flashed with a crystalline golden luster.

The surrounding wind and snow intensified. Lin Xiao glanced around and suddenly changed direction, flying towards the core area of ​​the far north.

Lin Xiao's soul power fluctuated slightly, and the figure of Xue Di reappeared beside him. With just one glance, she saw Lin Xiao's destination.

"You're going to the core area?"

"Ah."

Upon hearing Lin Xiao's affirmative answer, Xue Di did not speak, but her expression changed slightly.

Since following Lin Xiao, although she has lost her freedom, the treatment seems to be slightly better than she expected.

Over the years, she had seen the bustling Mingdu City with Lin Xiao, witnessed the wars in which humans killed each other, and even experienced the soul tools created by humans.

Now, we can return to the far north like this again.

If she was destined to die, dying beside Lin Xiao didn't seem like a particularly bad choice.

I don’t know when it started, but Xue Di suddenly had this idea in her mind.

"Snow Emperor, I'd like to borrow some places in the far north, you..."

Before Lin Xiao could finish speaking, Xue Di had already frowned.

Having been by Lin Xiao's side for so long, she had come to know him quite well. For him to be unable to finish his sentence, what he was about to say must be no small matter.

"What do you want to do?"

“I want to do what no one has done before.” Lin Xiao sighed and looked up into the depths of the snowstorm. “I want to set up a new lure here to attract the Abyss Plane…”

"can."

To Lin Xiao's surprise, Xue Di agreed even more readily than he had expected, and he immediately turned to look at her.

"The Abyss Plane thrives on all kinds of negative emotions, even if in the future a place filled with all kinds of negative emotions will appear in the far north?"

The Snow Empress also looked at Lin Xiao and asked, "Then let me ask you, won't setting up this bait have an impact on the far north and the soul beasts here?"

"There will be some impact... more or less." Lin Xiao did not lie to Xue Di. "But with you in charge, the soul beasts here can avoid it as much as possible, and I will also control it to prevent it from spreading to too large an area."

Now that the Snow Empress has become part of Lin Xiao's power, his attitude towards the soul beasts of the far north naturally changes. "That's why I agreed to your request." Upon hearing this, the Snow Empress withdrew her gaze and looked towards the depths of the far north.

"I don't know if it's because of your confidence or some other reason, but after I became like this, you rarely hid anything from other souls like me. What you know, I also know, and what you are going to do, I also anticipated."

"This is something the gods must do. Even if you are not the one to do it, someone else will do it in the future."

"As long as the far north remains the most suitable place in that god's eyes, it will eventually become what you describe."

"But having you take action is already the best outcome for the soul beasts of the far north."

Lin Xiao rarely heard Xue Di speak so much at once, so he didn't stop and glanced at Xue Di again.

"Aren't you afraid that I'm lying to you and just want to use you to achieve my goals?"

"You won't." Xue Di said with almost no hesitation, her tone full of certainty.

Lin Xiao looked at the figure beside her, dressed in white like snow and as elfin as an elf, and suddenly smiled.

Unbeknownst to him, he and Xue Di were no longer the man and beast who had been testing each other. Some things no longer needed to be said to be clear.

"Okay, then I'll tell you my plan," Lin Xiao replied, then lowered her voice slightly and spoke softly.

"Teacher, how long will it take to complete the renovation of the Death Tower?"

"With the materials you brought out from Mingdetang, I've been experimenting these past few days. If all goes well, the initial renovation should only take a few months to complete."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, teacher."

“Why bother with these things between us?” Electrox chuckled. “Besides, it’s been quite a while since I’ve seen one of my masterpieces. I wonder how much of its former glory it still possesses.”

After receiving Electrolux's reply, Lin Xiao looked at Xue Di again.

“Back then, Zhongli Wu didn’t understand necromancy and could only use the most rudimentary means, such as using the statue of the Holy Emperor to absorb the negative energy from the far north in order to attract the Abyss Plane.”

“What I’m going to do is a little more sophisticated than what he did; I’ll use other devices to collect the negative energy here.”

"But where does this negative energy come from?" Xue Di's expression changed slightly.

Back then, in order to absorb negative energy, Zhongli Wu deliberately spread the news that the Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor of the far north had disappeared to attract others, and even instigated a fight between the soul beasts of the far north.

Although Xue Di believed that Lin Xiao would not do such a thing, she was also curious about how Lin Xiao would collect enough negative energy in this remote and desolate far north.

"When I was learning necromancy with my teacher, I discovered that the weight of a soul is different."

"The soul is the combination of the remaining spirit of a living being after death and his memories of his previous life. Perhaps there are other special reasons for the formation of some souls, but for most souls, the stronger their strength in life, the stronger their spiritual power, and the more complete their soul."

"Similarly, the more powerful a being is, the more power it can generate that is enough to attract the abyss plane."

"As long as the negative emotions appearing in the far north are strong enough, even if they are few in number, it will be enough to attract the attention of the Abyss Plane."

"On this continent, compared to ordinary people without cultivation, the negative emotions that Soul Masters with Soul Power can provide are naturally much greater."

"And coincidentally, I have a group of very suitable candidates in my hands."
