5.5 million fortune points?
Hmm…
Well, after all, this was a being who, with a mortal body, had once stood shoulder to shoulder with gods.
Even if this was only a fragment of his soul, its quality was on par with that of a divine soul.
It was equivalent to creating a cultivation method fit for a god. The price was reasonable.
He tried to see if it could be paid in installments—
The down payment alone was 100,000 fortune points.
Zhuge Lan spent 1 fortune point to check the details, and discovered that the first layer could only nurture Electrolux's remnant soul, not strengthen it.
It would take reaching the fifth layer before that was possible.
Unaffordable. Time to initiate Plan B.
---
Condition: Restore Electrolux's memory of methods for training spiritual power!
Cost: 150,000 fortune points!
Create?
---
Oh!
That cheap?
Spending 1 fortune point to verify, he learned—this fragment of Electrolux's soul actually carried the entirety of his life's knowledge, it merely needed to be recovered to be remembered.
So this 150,000 fortune points was essentially just paying for him to recover.
Excellent!
That meant they now had access to a free skill library!
Unfortunately…
He spent another 1 fortune point to confirm compatibility—
The Saint Seiya World's system (God's Seal World) wasn't fully compatible with the Douluo World.
How many skills could actually be learned was uncertain.
What's more, Electrolux's attributes were light and darkness, not in harmony with their own, so the only thing they could truly learn was related to spiritual power.
Zhuge Lan smacked his lips in regret.
Oh well.
He consumed 150,000 fortune points, restoring Electrolux's remnant soul.
More streams of light flowed out from Zhuge Lan's body, like rivers of radiance, merging into Electrolux.
His aura visibly grew stronger.
After a few minutes—
Electrolux slowly opened his eyes. His breath had become simple and subdued, yet his gaze now shone with deep wisdom.
"Interesting."
"I never thought that even after death, such a journey would await me. To even meet friends of like minded…"
"This is my method of training spiritual power. You may take a look."
Electrolux lifted his hand, releasing two motes of light. One drifted into Zhuge Lan.
As it merged, he realized it didn't only carry information—it also came with an extremely dense portion of ownerless spiritual power.
With just a brief digestion, it was absorbed entirely.
All of it converted into Spiritual Consciousness, nearly tripling in volume.
[Destiny of Electrolux, Skydream Iceworm, and Huo Yuhao rewritten, +25,000 fortune points!]
—Exclusive Huo Yuhao edition.
Heh!
They had already earned back a third of the cost.
This method of training spiritual power was, to be precise, actually two skills.
—Undead Sacrifice: Allow the undead to willingly transform into nourishment, strengthening the host's spiritual power!
—Light of Purification: Remove impurities from spiritual power, raising purity and canceling negative effects!
One skill light, one skill dark—perfectly matching Electrolux's identity as a Light-Element Necromancer.
As for the supply of undead materials?
Simple enough. Electrolux owned a half-dimension of the undead, packed full of them.
But here arose a problem—Zhuge Lan himself couldn't learn these!
Unless he used fortune points.
Learning Undead Half-Dimension: 10,000 fortune points!
Learning Undead Sacrifice: 40,000 fortune points!
Learning Light of Purification: 50,000 fortune points!
All together: 100,000 fortune points.
More expensive than awakening Spiritual Consciousness itself.
Individually, they didn't seem costly… but if they kept doing this, the spiritual world would get crowded real quick.
So—
Zhuge Lan turned his gaze to Electrolux.
"These three skills… it seems like you could just handle them for us, couldn't you?"
The moment Electrolux heard this, he understood Zhuge Lan's intent.
—He was trying to freeload off him.
"I won't let you work for free," Zhuge Lan said with a smile. "For every person, you'll receive 100,000 fortune points to restore your strength."
Electrolux gave him a half-smile.
How nicely put.
But when Huo Yuhao ran into trouble in the future, could he really refuse to help?
In the end, this was all just another way of investing in Huo Yuhao.
Still, since they were all residing inside his spiritual world, paying a little "rent" was only proper.
"Very well," Electrolux agreed. "But keep the fortune points stored for now. I prefer tranquility, and would like to construct a second Sea of Spirit."
"That won't be necessary," Zhuge Lan interjected, spoiling the secret. "Soon, Little Yuhao will obtain the Life Gold, enough for you to open a second Sea of Spirit."
Electrolux's brows rose, and he nodded. "Then let's give it a try."
He raised a hand—
Huo Yuhao's spiritual form appeared, blinking awake as if from a dream, staring at the three of them.
What was going on?
Electrolux looked at Zhuge Lan. Zhuge Lan looked at the Skydream Iceworm.
Skydream Iceworm: "…"
Since he hadn't contributed anything, he had no choice but to step up as laborer.
He went forward and explained the situation to Huo Yuhao.
"This is a good thing," Huo Yuhao said with a smile. "What do I need to do?"
"Little Yuhao, I need to temporarily use your body," Electrolux said. "The first time opening the Undead Half-Dimension requires a medium in reality. Afterwards, it won't."
Without hesitation, Huo Yuhao nodded.
"No problem!
Though right now I'm still cultivating with Wang Dong… will that interfere? Should I go outside to find some empty space first?"
"No need," Electrolux replied.
The next second—
He took control of Huo Yuhao's body. Without any outward action, a gray six-pointed star formation unfolded in the air.
A sinister, dark aura spread outward. With a flash of gray light—
The entire dormitory filled with something indescribable. Before anyone could get a closer look, it twisted into a vortex and poured into Yuhao's brow.
Inside the spiritual world—
A colossal, semi-transparent undead octopus nearly a hundred meters tall appeared, raising its head to roar.
But the moment it saw Electrolux—its body froze, and it immediately prostrated itself on the ground.
"God! At last you summon your people!"
"Is this summoning for us to exterminate these pests?"
Its tentacles pointed toward Zhuge Lan, Yuhao, and the Skydream Iceworm.
"No." Electrolux's voice was calm. "Tear off one of your tentacles, and sacrifice it to become nourishment for our spiritual power."
The undead octopus was just as decisive as Yuhao had been earlier.
Seven tentacles moved at once, ripping off the eighth, and then splitting it into two parts. One of those was further split into three small portions.
One large and three small pieces turned into streams of gray light, burning as they flew into the four of them.
Zhuge Lan felt his spiritual power multiply instantly—but along with it came waves of violent emotion.
—The methods of heretical cultivation were always fast, but often carried side effects.
Electrolux raised his left-hand sword.
Brilliant yet gentle golden light shone out, splitting into one large and three small strands, flowing into each of them.
The violent emotions were suppressed, and the recently increased spiritual power was temporarily stabilized.
But that golden light kept producing spiritual power, endlessly flowing, pure and high in quality.
With just a bit of compression, it could be transformed into Spiritual Consciousness.
"Hm?" Electrolux murmured in surprise.
"This Spiritual Consciousness… its quality is even higher than purified spiritual power. Only a little weaker than my remnant soul. And it can directly manipulate physical matter. Truly remarkable."
Zhuge Lan, ever shrewd, acted immediately.
He spent 80,001 fortune points to awaken Electrolux's Spiritual Consciousness.
Skydream Iceworm: "…"
Unlike Huo Yuhao, who had suffered pain and endured a long process when awakening—Electrolux simply closed his eyes and sensed for a few seconds.
"So this is Spiritual Consciousness…"
"Zhuge, your world's cultivation system is truly fascinating. I'd love to go and see it for myself."
Go to Swallowed Star and take a look?
Not likely.
Zhuge Lan had tried peeking in during idle moments—just that endless string of zeroes was dizzying enough.
Besides, the power system in Swallowed Star utterly overwhelmed the Saint Seiya and Douluo Planes.
The gap was far too wide.
But then again…
