Just when Long Haochen wanted to say something, the king of Easton interjected, “Girl, I think it’s better for you to increase master’s internal spiritual energy, because you don’t have to worry about anything like that happening to master?”
“Huh?” Ye Xiaolei looked at the king of Easton in doubt.
The king of Eastong said proudly, “Master has inherited the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, so he’s temporarily become our Lord of Eternity. The Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation was a supra divine tool used by the creator god to create the realms. All the existences who have once become Lords of Eternity had received an imprint from the creator god. Regardless of the principles of the planes, they don’t have to follow any of them and when they become a god, they will receive a special Godhead from the creator god’s imprint. As an existence that supervises the world for the creator god, their lives will be extremely long, but not infinite.”
Ye Xiaolei looked at the king of Easton rather dumbstruck, “Are you saying that he can be like the Demon God Emperor and not be bound by the principles of the realm?”
The king of Easton said, “Of course. Master’s an existence chosen by the creator god. How could he be as simple as you imagine him to be? Being able to join master will be your smartest decision.”
Ye Xiaolei nodded and she looked at Long Haochen with rather mixed feelings, “Since that’s the case, let’s start right now.” She suddenly found that she was no longer that important to Long Haochen as an intelligent spiritual stove.
“Hold on, Xiaolei.” Long Haochen raised his hand to stop Ye Xiaolei.
“Don’t you want me?” Ye Xiaolei was not in a good mood right now, so she immediately misinterpreted Long Haochen.
Long Haochen shook his head with a smile, “Of course not. It’s just that I want to tell you something before you become my intelligent spiritual stove. Recently, I found a suitable body for Yating, so she’s no longer my light elemental spiritual stove anymore, but a Fairy Queen of Light. I believe that in the near future, I will find a suitable body for you as well. When that happens, please choose to be a person. Be a real human. Maybe you’ll feel happier like that.”
Ye Xiaolei was dumbstruck. She stared at Long Haochen blankly and didn’t make a single sound for quite some time.
Long Haochen rubbed her head gently. He squatted down and looked at her face to face, “We’re friends. We’re not just bound by a pact. I hope you can find happiness in the future. Although I don’t know how to make you happy, I will treat you like a human as much as I can.”
“Alright,” Ye Xiaolei let out a soft interjection of agreement. She suddenly spread her arms, hugged Long Haochen around the neck and burst out in tears.
Gently stroking her long hair, Long Haochen used his gentle light element to comfort her sorrow. It was also at this moment that he discovered in his surprise that his hand fell through her body.
Ye Xiaolei’s body suddenly turned into green light. Specks of green light floated about and moved up his hand, enveloping him completely very soon.
The large quantity of light specks gradually formed a swirl, gently rotating around Long Haochen. That was a gentle aura filled with life. In the world of Easton, all the vegetation within several hundred kilometers began to shine with green light.
The king of Easton said in complete fascination, “What pure power of nature. It’s fantastic.”
Gentle green light began to fuse into Long Haochen’s body through his chest. It just happened to fuse into where his Heart of Eternity was.
Ye Xiaolei definitely could sense Haoyue’s aura on him. Long Haochen and Haoyue’s connection was the closest about the head, and then the heart. The method that Ye Xiaolei chose to use was completely different to what Haoyue did.
The power from Haoyue which dwelled in his spiritual pellet was an independent existence, while Ye Xiaolei’s power of nature directly fused with Long Haochen’s Heart of Eternity. It would not be independent.
When she began to fuse with him, Long Haochen sensed it. He knew that Ye Xiaolei would make him even stronger by fusing with him like this. However, this meant thta she had completely ignored his suggestion earlier. By fusing with her like this, Ye Xiaolei would never be able to separate from his body unless he died. Obviously, she would not be able to become a human like what happened with Yating.
Ye Xiaolei’s voice rang out in Long Haochen’s head,” Long Haochen, I don’t want to call you my master. I want to call you my elder brother. I don’t want to become a human. There is also a lot of deception and trickery among you humans, so becoming a human might bring me even more issues. That is not what I want. From the moment before, I already knew my happiness is. My happiness is being by your side, so you can protect and take care of me. For that, that is enough. The Demon God Emperor had said earlier that if I become his, he would take me to see many fascinating worlds. I believe you can do the same. I won’t regret sticking with you. From today onwards, I am your intelligent spiritual stove, as well as your younger sister. You have to take good care of me. Hehe.”
The green light began to expand from Long Haochen’s body, slowly flowing through his entire body. Long Haochen’s fifth rank of the ninth step spiritual energy began to grow once more. It was not fast, but it was very steady. At the same time, Long Haochen felt scorching heat appear in his body. His body was currently being nurtured by the dense aura of life.
Ye Xiaolei did not listen to the king of Easton’s suggestion. Instead, she used all the power she had after fusing with Long Haochen to increase both his internal and external spiritual energy. From then onwards, she was a part of Long Haochen, so of course she hoped that Long Haochen would have an even stronger body. With her vitality, not only did Long Haochen’s external spiritual energy increase drastically, it had extended his lifespan as well. Long Haochen was not aware of this.
Ye Xiaolei was not powerful, but she possessed the soul of a god and a fraction of a god’s power. Combined with her pure and unadulterated vitality, she had extended Long Haochen’s life by a thousand years at the very least.
The aura of life flowed through and expanded in Long Haochen’s body. He had let himself go completely, sensing the airiness from the fusion of power.
In that moment, he suddenly understood something. It was an understanding related to the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation.
The three powerhouses of the Domain of Eternity had told him that the name of the divine thorne, the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, had ancient origins. It was personally named by the creator god.
What was eternity? What was creation? What was being created?
The engravings on the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation seemed to give the answer. The earth, nature, life, the stars, sun and moon were being created. And why was all this created? For life to continue.
Creating life was what eternity was mainly about. All the other creations were just for creating life.
Perhaps people had different understandings about eternity and creation, but in that moment, Long Haochen had developed his own understanding.
The Heart of Eternity began to slow down as gentle vitality ran and flowed through his body. If someone could see Long Haochen’s current situation right now, they would definitely be utterly shocked, because a heart had grown in Long Haochen’s chest.
The Heart of Eternity was not a real heart. It was a heart of spiritual energy created by a combination of Elux’s past constitution as a Scion of Light as his cultivation of light, which was further modified using his understanding of the human body and the necromancy he had cultivated.
This Heart of Eternity had all the abilities of a normal human heart. Even every single blood vessel was the same. It also had enough energy to last for at least a thousandyears.As long as Long Haochen’s cultivation remained, the Heart of Eternity would never stop beating, and it would make Long Haochen stronger and stronger, granting him more and more power.
After all, Elux was not the creator god. He could not create a heart that was exactly the same as Long Haochen’s original one from nothing.
In that moment, the sight of wonder was this creation. Under the effects of this dense vitality, the blood in Long Haochen’s chest had used the Heart of Eternity as a mold and actually formed a heart.
Long Haochen was completely unaware about this. He had no idea that he had undergone a process of metamorphosis. Actually, Elux never told him when he revived him that from a certain aspect, he was technically an undead. Could a human without a heart still be called a human? However, Long Haochen was just unaware of all of this and Elux had not explained it either. Coupled with his pure light element, no one suspected that either. It had to be mentioned that the Heart of Eternity created by Elux was almost like a work of god. It was definitely the greatest masterpiece throughout history among necromancers.
However, no matter how great it was, it still made him an undead. As a matter of fact, when Elux purified himself, he still felt rather proud of himself. The only Scion of Light that had managed to mature completely possessed the crystallisation of his life’s work!
However, it was different now. With Ye Xiaolei’s fusion, Long Haochen’s aura of life increased drastically and as a result, the issue of missing a true heart was revealed. The power of life that Ye Xiaolei had fused into his body naturally treated this as a wound and immediately began to heal it.
If the Heart of Eternity was not there, the healing would not have been successful, because Long Haochen would be dead during the healing process. Without a heart that could beat, it was useless no matter how perfect the healing was.
