"The Tower of Eternity is the culmination of my wisdom over a thousand years of life. As long as you move forward and overcome all the trials, the moment you finally reach the top, you will completely inherit my mantle, the dead will reappear in the world, and those hypocrites of the glorious Church will sleep in death."

"Go forth bravely, my child. You are the first necromancer to enter the Tower of Eternity, and you will be my sole successor. You will face danger and trials, but there will be no threat to your life. Of course, this is on the condition that you can pass the trial of the first level; otherwise, you are not qualified to inherit my mantle. As long as you pass the trial, this path will always be open for you. I will also always protect you, until the moment you truly stand before me."

"What you are hearing now is my last message before my eternal slumber. When you leave here, the Eternal Slumber will close because of you and automatically teleport you to a separate plane that I have created. Only you, who possess my token, may enter. I will be at the top of the tower, awaiting your arrival to receive the legacy of the Necromancer Saint, the Slumbering Scourge, Elex."

Electrolux's voice fell silent.

Lin Hai was silent for a moment, then said, "It seems to be just some quote left behind; it hasn't truly awakened!"

"Elex, Elder Elex, the chief culprit of the catastrophe in the glorious era of the Holy Demon Continent, without exception."

This catastrophe severely damaged the three major human empires and even severed the lineages of countless powerful figures. This resulted in a significant lack of human resistance after the arrival of the demon god, and humanity only gradually stabilized after retreating to the current Temple Alliance.

Electrolux's power at its peak is self-evident.

In the final great battle, Electrolux fought against His Holiness the Pope of the Glorious Church. They even opened up a spatial dimensional battlefield to prevent the complete collapse of the human world.

The Pope of the Glorious Church at that time eventually perished, and even the lineage was broken. More than 90 percent of the powerful members of the Glorious Church perished in that holy war.

However, isn't the Knights' Temple owes its current unprecedented status in part to Electrolux?

Before the demons descended, knights were always...

"The strongest human, the number one person below the gods, the eternal slumber, the Holy God of the Necromancers, the Calamity of the Undead, Elixir!" Lin Hai recounted Elixir's titles.

"Well then, let me test your attributes and see what kind of necromancer you are," Ilex said in a voice that sounded nothing like a message.

A grayish-white light descended from the sky, precisely enveloping Lin Hai.

"Wait a minute!!" Electrox's voice in the message was tinged with shock.

"It is indeed pure light, but... how come you possess the same necromantic aura as me?!"

"Never mind, although I don't know where you got some of my Electrox's legacy from, it's enough to prove your excellence as a necromancer with the same light attribute as me."

"Hahaha, my precious disciple, this will be a perfect succession! Those brats of the Glorious Church, I have not been defeated yet!"

Lin Hai was a little confused; the more Electrolux listened, the less he seemed to be asleep.

Actually, given Electrolux's abilities, it's quite normal for things to turn out this way.

The grayish-white light reappeared, but this time it was only a small ball, quietly floating in front of Lin Hai.

It was a necklace. The necklace itself was made of white, transparent gemstones the size of soybeans. The gemstones emitted a faint white glow, and the soft light gave people a sense of warmth from the bottom of their hearts. The space that was originally filled with the aura of death was almost completely transformed into light because of its appearance.

The necklace had a small pendant, about the size of a thumbnail, also white, shaped like a tiny skull, with golden flames flickering where its eyes should be. The viscous light element was spreading outwards from this center.

"My dear disciple, this is my keepsake. This necklace has been with me for eight hundred and ninety-five years until the moment I fall into slumber."

"Oh, and there's one more thing you absolutely must remember: never let anyone from the Glorious Church see it, because it's made from the skull of the first Pope of the Glorious Church."

"Hehe, I can still imagine how those charlatans reacted after they learned that I had excavated the tomb of the first pope, as if they had eaten a year's worth of ##. I still feel incredibly excited whenever I think about it."

"This necklace is called Eternal Melody. It is my keepsake and the key to unlocking the Eternal Slumber. If you have any absolutely trustworthy companions in the future, you can bring them here for training. Of course, the prerequisite is that none of them must possess the dark attribute that I hate the most. If you bring them here and anyone harbors ill intentions towards you, the Eternal Slumber will also cause them to fall into eternal slumber. From now on, you are my successor, the new master of the Eternal Slumber."

"Go forward, child. From this moment on, everything here is yours. Even without any trials, you can leave at any time. I look forward to seeing you before me soon."

After saying this last sentence, Electrolux's voice faded away completely. Although the surroundings were still filled with a gray and white aura of death, Eternal Melody was like a sun in this place, constantly releasing a thick golden light from it.

What's even stranger is that this light is perfectly in harmony with the deathly aura of this place, without any conflict whatsoever.

"Rather than receiving your legacy once more, I would prefer that you leave behind another legend in this world," Lin Hai said, holding the Eternal Melody.

Lin Hai already had a grand plan in mind. This plan was extremely audacious.

Lin Hai strode forward.

After taking about five steps, two beams of white light appeared without warning five meters in front of him, and then two huge figures emerged from the ground.

They were two enormous skeletons, surrounded by white light, simultaneously exuding an aura of death and light.

Lin Hai's expression remained calm. The quasi-divine artifact, the Lightning Blue Silver Overlord Spear, appeared in Lin Hai's hand. Lin Hai swung the Lightning Blue Silver Overlord Spear, and a moon blade light was thrown out. Then, the two skeletons were directly cut in half at the waist by this moon blade.

The two skeletons fell to the ground with a thud, and then two drops of white liquid flew into Lin Hai's body.

Those two drops were extremely pure, attribute-less energy. Once inside his body, the liquid became part of his spiritual power. However, this amount of spiritual power did not cause any ripples in the face of Lin Hai's vast inner spiritual power.

Among the two skeletons' remains was a golden bead. Lin Hai stretched out his hand toward the golden bead, and then, with a surge of spiritual energy within his body, the golden bead flew into Lin Hai's hand.

As soon as the bead fell into Lin Hai's hand, it burst forth with a golden light and flew directly into his brow.

"Asura Slash, gather spiritual power to cleave the universe in the clear sky..." This is a sixth-tier combat skill.

Lin Hai briefly learned and practiced the combat technique before continuing forward.

……

The skeletons along the way were no match for Lin Hai.

Neither the red Saint Guard Twelve, nor the blue Saint Guard Eleven, nor any of the other Saint Guards could stop Lin Hai's advance.

Lin Hai easily passed through all the obstacles and stepped onto the sixth floor of the Eternal Tower.

Upon reaching the sixth floor, Electrox's voice rang out again, "Welcome to the sixth floor of the Tower of Eternity. Your arrival here proves that you are strong enough to receive my inheritance. Ascend the stairs to the Heavenly Path."

"I will be waiting for you on the seventh floor of the Tower of Eternity. If you can come before me, then you will be my disciple. Otherwise, we are not destined to be together."

Electrolux's voice this time was devoid of any emotion, lacking the warmth and coldness of his previous voice, making him sound more like a cold, emotionless robot.

A golden door suddenly appeared, and the original Eternal Melody transformed from a skull into a key.

The key flew into the giant golden gate, and then a golden staircase appeared, leading to the higher and deeper night sky.

"One step, one bow; the road to heaven leads to heaven." A majestic voice emanated from the golden gate and reached Lin Hai's ears.

Lin Hai stood there for a moment, then began to kowtow with each step. Lin Hai was not a proud or arrogant person, nor did he have much pride. He was a selfish person at heart, but beyond his selfishness, he also had a heart for the people within his capabilities.

Electrolux has been incredibly helpful to Lin Hai, whether it's necromancy, absorbing soul rings and soul bones, or rescuing him from the temporal turbulence. Electrolux has truly shown Lin Hai a great deal of kindness.

The so-called oppression was hardly felt in Lin Hai's case.

……

The seventh floor of the Tower of Eternity.

Everything in sight is golden. Compared to the first six levels of the Tower of Eternity, this area is much smaller. The circular hall is about thirty meters in diameter. The dome is arched. There are twelve golden pillars surrounding it.

Whether it's the ground, the dome, or the pillars, everything is covered with countless intricate golden magic runes.

The entire hall floor was shaped like a giant golden six-pointed star, with a faint golden mist rising from it.

At the center of this six-pointed star stood a coffin, five meters long and three meters wide. This golden coffin was inlaid with all sorts of magnificent gems. No, not just gems. There were also magic crystals from magical beasts and elixirs from humans. Not a single item was lower than the ninth rank.

This is the seventh floor of the Tower of Eternity, the place where the Necromancer Saint, the Sleeping Scourge Elex, rests in eternal slumber.

Lin Hai solemnly bowed before the golden coffin, "The successor of necromancy greets the Eternal Slumber, the Holy God of Necromancy, the Calamity of the Undead!"

A wisp of white smoke slowly rose from the golden coffin, drifting and gathering in the air.

Soon, the white smoke condensed into a human shape, exactly like the statue she had seen before, except that it had no lower body. The lower body, like white smoke, was connected to the golden coffin.

"..." Electrolux didn't speak, just stared at Lin Hai.

Lin Hai met Electrolux's gaze without flinching.

"You... are that little guy from another world!" The question was phrased, but the tone was that of a statement.

"Old Master Yi?" Lin Hai's tone was tinged with surprise and excitement.

"No, I am Electrolux, but not the Electrolux you're talking about." The white-smoke figure of Electrolux shook his head.

Electrolux noticed the confusion in Lin Hai's eyes and patiently explained.

"The wisp of divine consciousness you mentioned merged with me after returning to this world."

"I am still the Scourge who destroyed those glorious hypocrites of the Holy See, Electrox."

"So... little guy, I know everything about you!!" Electrolux gave Lin Hai a meaningful look.

"Since Elder Yi understands me, then everything is easy to discuss."

"Oh?" Electrolux asked with a hint of doubt.

"Old Yi, you understand me, and I need to understand you in return."

"You chose death so that you would not become a god."

"After coming into this world, I did come to understand that the gods of this world are not necessarily a good thing for us."

"It seems you've had quite a stroke of luck since coming into this world!"

The slightly revived Electrox keenly sensed another divine power belonging to this world within Lin Hai's body.

"Little guy, what do you want to say? I'm starting to get curious about what you want to say." Electrolux changed his previous aloof attitude.

"Elder Yi, if you are unwilling to become a god in this world, would you be willing to come to my realm and attain godhood?"

"In my world, becoming a god does not require dissolving oneself."

"Becoming a god means having an infinite lifespan. With your talent, you can naturally reach the point where you don't need to dismantle your body in this world."

"Oh? To hell with your world?" Electrolux's eyes flashed with a thoughtful expression as he considered the feasibility of Lin Hai's words.

Yes, he was actually a little tempted.

It wasn't that he didn't want to become a god, but becoming a god on the Holy Demon Continent meant losing his physical body and ultimately having his divine consciousness return to heaven and earth.

To be honest, he finds this approach somewhat unacceptable.

If it were truly possible to achieve godhood in the world where Lin Hai resides and gain a longer lifespan, that wouldn't be unacceptable.

However, time travel is something that can easily lead to annihilation if done wrong!

Judging from the memories brought by their own wisp of divine consciousness, they had also paid a great price to preserve the forest.

"You want to go back?" Electrox asked, a question that seemed out of place.

"Of course!" Lin Hai made no attempt to hide his thoughts.

"Do you know how difficult time travel is?"

"It's a complete accident that you got here unharmed."

"Even I can't guarantee that I can travel to your time and space safely and accurately."
