"So, since you said that, you must have a way to solve my lifespan issue, right?" the Golden Tortoise asked.
Although Huo Yuhao had revealed himself as a human, the Golden Tortoise wasn't foolish. It could sense that this young human was extraordinary. Moreover, since Huo Yuhao had essentially saved its life, the Golden Tortoise still addressed him with utmost respect.
Huo Yuhao didn't deny it. "Of course, I have a way. But you'll need to co with ."
The Golden Tortoise hesitated. "Co with you? You an… leave the Star Dou Forest?"
Huo Yuhao nodded. "Yes, we need to go outside the Star Dou Forest. If you're willing, I can take you away right now."
Electrolux had his Necromantic Sub Dinsion, a place capable of storing living beings. Naturally, that ant he could store the Golden Tortoise as well.
Huo Yuhao planned to consult Electrolux about the Necromantic Sub Dinsion later. And as for how he would explain his knowledge of such a thing? Simple he'd bla it on divine foresight.
After all, if Tang San could "foresee" impending disasters in the Divine Realm, then it was perfectly reasonable for Huo Yuhao to foresee the existence of a Necromantic Sub Dinsion!
To Huo Yuhao, turning the Golden Tortoise into an undead being was an excellent choice. The creature was already close to death, and by becoming an undead, its lifespan could be drastically extended.
Moreover, undead beings could retain their intelligence. This ant that he could add a powerful general to his ranks after all, a 100,000 year old soul beast, even in undead form, would still be extrely strong.
The Golden Tortoise hesitated.
As a soul beast, it still feared the human world, an extrely dangerous place for soul beasts.
Long ago, Di Tian had launched a beast tide attack on Shrek City. Though the soul beasts eventually retreated back into the Star Dou Forest, many had been wounded or killed in the battle.
The Golden Tortoise species was born with a protective aura of fortune, aning they never had to participate in beast tides. But after learning about the casualties among other soul beasts, the Golden Tortoise had ford a deep impression that the human world was extrely dangerous.
Seeing its hesitation, Huo Yuhao activated his first soul skill ntal Detection directly linking to the Golden Tortoise's mind.
Through this connection, he explained the concepts of soul spirits and undead beings.
For now, he couldn't reveal anything about necromancy to Di Qiu'er. After all, undead techniques resembled the thods of evil soul masters, and evil soul masters were hated by both humans and soul beasts alike.
If he told Di Qiu'er too soon, it might cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
For now, he needed to wait until her trust in him deepened before revealing this information.
As for the Golden Tortoise, Huo Yuhao was certain it would agree.
In the original story, the Golden Tortoise clearly had a strong will to survive. Otherwise, why would a 100,000 year old soul beast even consider becoming Xu Sanshi's soul spirit?
Even if Di Tian found out about the Golden Tortoise stealing the Life Gold, would he really execute it?
This was a 100,000 year old Golden Tortoise, whose fortune aura was exceptionally strong.
Although it wasn't as important as the Fate Beast, its presence was still beneficial to the soul beast community.
After listening to Huo Yuhao's detailed explanation, the Golden Tortoise finally understood his intentions.
It nodded. "Very well, I will go with you."
It wanted to continue living, and Huo Yuhao's plan aligned perfectly with its desires.
Besides, even though soul spirits were said to be inheritable, the Golden Tortoise would rather follow Huo Yuhao than be passed around endlessly.
"Alright," Huo Yuhao nodded. "Let's leave now."
He then began communicating with Electrolux in his ntal sea.
Monts later, he received the inheritance of the Necromantic Sub Dinsion.
To Electrolux, giving Huo Yuhao this power was a logical decision.
He hadn't done so earlier not because he was testing Huo Yuhao, but because he had hesitated.
Necromantic powers were fundantally different from the dark arts of evil soul masters, but their appearance in this world could still create unpredictable consequences.
However, after careful thought, Electrolux chose to pass it on.
He trusted that Huo Yuhao would use this power righteously.
Of course, Huo Yuhao couldn't open the Gate of the Undead in front of Di Qiu'er.
He planned to find a secluded location later to transfer the Golden Tortoise into the Necromantic Sub Dinsion.
At that mont, Electrolux's voice echoed in his ntal sea.
"Yuhao, Wang Dong is approaching Di Qiu'er's location. Be careful she's only a thousand ters away."
Wang Dong is here?!
Huo Yuhao's heart tensed.
Was she here to obtain a spirit ring?
No…
Even if she wanted a spirit ring, why would she head straight for Di Qiu'er's position?
That ant she had another goal.
He turned to glance at Di Qiu'er, feeling a sinking suspicion.
Was Tang San still unwilling to give up?
Did he still want to use Tang Wutong's divine consciousness fragnt to take over the Fate Beast's body?
It was very likely.
After all, both the Golden Dragon Spear and the Star Dou's fortune aura were extrely valuable.
In the original story, Tang San had deliberately orchestrated emotional trials.
Because of Tang San's manipulations, Wang Dong'er, Wang Qiu'er, and Huo Yuhao had all suffered emotionally.
That left a terrible impression on him when he read the original novel.
But when he thought about it, wasn't this just part of Tang San's character?
Even his own daughter's divine consciousness had been fragnted to create this absurd romantic trial.
Huo Yuhao believed that in the original story, Tang San's trials had gradually worn down Huo Yuhao's spirit.
One woman went into hibernation, the other sacrificed herself no wonder Huo Yuhao's heart had been utterly shattered.
So now…
He decided to ask Electrolux to intervene and protect Di Qiu'er.
Opening the Gate of the Undead required ti, and right now, there wasn't enough.
In the original novel, Tang San had only placed Tang Wutong's divine consciousness fragnt into Wang Dong's body.
So if Electrolux intervened, he should be able to counter it.
The key point was this:
Tang San couldn't make a move unless Wang Dong was about to suffer physical or emotional harm.
That was one of the Divine Realm's strictest rules.
Ever since the God of Slaughter, Shupoulos, had been punished for breaking this rule, the Divine Realm had tightened restrictions on gods interfering with the mortal world.
Even Tang San couldn't openly violate it.
Sure, as the God of Law, he had ways to forcefully descend…
But doing so would tarnish his self proclaid righteous reputation.
And that…
Was sothing the so called "noble and pure" Tang San would never allow.
