Douluo Continent: Peerless Bei Bei, Light Dragon King

Chapter 82 Electrolux's Vision

"Old man, old man!"

After Beibei called out twice, a figure dressed in a gray long robe emerged from between two tall and wide bookshelves, holding a book in his hand.

Nourished by the Tower of Life, Electrolux was no longer in a state where he could dissipate at any moment; his consciousness was firm and his spiritual form was solid.

"Beibei, it's been months since I last saw you, and your strength has increased quite a bit!"

"When I was your age, I probably didn't have your level of cultivation."

"I still remember when I was fifteen, I broke through to the sixth-level mage, which is equivalent to the sixth ring level in the Soul Master cultivation system, breaking the record of my continent."

In front of this person, Bebe could not be proud at all. He not only knew that Elex broke through to the sixth-order mage at the age of fifteen, but also that the other party broke through to the eighth-order archmage at the age of eighteen, and broke through to the ninth-order archmage before the age of twenty.

"I'm still on my way, so I don't deserve such praise from you."

"Don't talk about me, talk about yourself."

"My ancestor must have come looking for you, right?"

Electrolux did not deny this: "Moun, as a human at the pinnacle of this plane, in terms of realm level alone, is close to the level I was at in my previous life."

"He cares about you a lot, and he trusts and feels at ease with you."

"If it were me, I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving a necromancer in my descendants."

"After we met several times and I was sure I posed no threat to you, we often sat down and had discussions."

"Moun asked me for further advice, but the plane I lived in was different from this one."

"That is an isolated plane, without any higher-level plane suppressing it. It relies entirely on the beings themselves to cultivate, accumulate, and condense their divine essence."

"The plane you live in is different; there is a higher plane suppressing you."

"Based on my speculation, and by comparing it with the ancient books in the library, there were originally two ways to go further."

"Firstly, deities from higher planes are willing to descend their divine status and position to guide others. However, no one has inherited the divine position for ten thousand years... I can only say, 'Never place your hopes on others.'"

"Secondly, it is to break through the suppression of higher-level planes purely by relying on one's own accumulation."

"However, the conditions for the second method are extremely harsh. It requires the creator of a godhood to have the combat power of a first-level god as soon as he ascends to godhood. Even if he cultivates and accumulates his own power and collects the power of faith at the same time, it will still take at least a thousand years."

"But after searching through Shrek's millennia-old collection of books and consulting Moon, I received a surprising result."

"Ever since several people in this plane ascended to godhood ten thousand years ago, the lifespan of the strongest beings on the continent has actually decreased from over a thousand years to three hundred years!"

"It has almost completely severed the path for geniuses from lower planes to ascend to godhood independently, which can be described as a complete severance of the connection between heaven and earth."

After listening to his story, Beibei fell into a long silence, not because the path to godhood was difficult, but because Beibei was already mentally prepared for that.

The reason for the long silence was that I had caught a key word in the other person's words—"originally!"

This means that the conditions for self-deification, that is, self-creating a divine position and becoming a god, have changed!

No! It's actually gotten harder!

Electrolux's deep, star-like eyes seemed to see right through Bebe's thoughts:

"You're right. Now, if you want to create your own godhood, the conditions are even more stringent."

"Because between this plane and the higher plane, there is not only the suppressing force of the original rules and order, but also a consciousness that is deliberately controlled by humans. It has terrifying strength and is enough to block any god who ascends to godhood in the lower plane."

"To forcefully resist the suppression of the rules and order and that consciousness, one needs to possess the combat power of a God-King as soon as one ascends to godhood, which is the highest realm among the gods I know of so far."

"These are just the most basic conditions, which are almost impossible to accomplish. I have a way to solve the constraints of time and lifespan, but the resources of a plane are basically not enough to support the birth of a God-King. That is a qualitative leap, not a quantitative accumulation."

"That's why I say that this dimension is completely isolated from the heavens and the earth."

Haha~

"I'd like to make a malicious and bold guess: if someone were to ascend to godhood in this era, they would either be scheming and groveling or struggling to survive in the cracks."

Suddenly looking at Electrolux, who was laughing loudly, Bebe said:

"Would you be willing to give me some pointers?"

If he was unwilling, why would Electrox have stated in his words that "he has a way to break the lifespan constraint"?

He knew that the mage in front of him, although he relied on necromancy to roam the continent, was also a master of light magic.

The stripping away of pure light elements creates the reconstructed Eternal Heart, granting it the ability to snatch people from the clutches of death.

But Electrox gave a completely different answer: "Your great-grandfather Moon asked me for a further method. Don't you want to know what I asked Moon?"

Before Beibei could answer, he spoke directly:

"Through my conversations with Moon, I learned bits and pieces about you, the Son of Light from another world."

"I never imagined that after my death, my remaining divine consciousness, wandering the boundless universe, would encounter another child of light who wanted to become a god."

"Interesting! Very interesting!"

"You and I are so alike. In our youth, we were full of vigor and ambition, blessed with the constitution of children of light, from prominent families, with girls we deeply loved, and the hope of many..."

"But later, my life became very dark, and I was no longer the child of light."

"You should be glad you met me now. If you had met me during a dark period in your life, I might have ruined you."

"Back then, I was an incompetent and irrational demon, relying on others to fall into darkness to obtain the sustenance to survive."

"Of course, I am still unable to shake off my identity as a demon, but I do not wish to see any other child of light like myself fall into hardship and adversity."

"Going back to your previous question, let me ask you another one."

"You let me into Shrek Academy's vast library, filled with thousands of years of accumulated knowledge, and let me browse through it all. Didn't you also give me the opportunity to offer you some guidance?"

Upon hearing this, Beibei immediately stood up and performed the teacher's salute.

"teacher!"

The movements were fluid and seamless, executed in one go.

"Hehe... I'm very happy, really very happy."

"Though I cannot return to the embrace of light, the mantle of light will be preserved because of you."

"Oh, right!"

"I also remember something else: you have a senior brother and a senior sister."

"To be precise, there's only one senior sister; your senior brother doesn't acknowledge me."

"Forget it, forget it. If he doesn't want to, he doesn't want to. It's my own problem. I should have known better than to tell him my story."
