Chapter 452: Electrolux
For a moment, the scene fell into silence again.
The elderly man, after a few seconds of dazedness, slowly shook his head. "My divine sense has been severely damaged, so much so that I can't recall my past memories at all."
He then looked at Ye Wen seriously and asked, "But you seem to recognize me. Could you tell me who I am? If I can remember anything, I will surely reward you greatly afterward."
Ye Wen studied Electrolux for a moment.
Indeed, as the man had said, although he appeared to have a complete human form, in Ye Wen's eyes, the man's divine sense was severely crippled. In terms of Ye Wen's power as the God King, this man could be described as a "maxed out version of battle damaged divine sense."
Moreover, Ye Wen could tell that Electrolux wasn't a bad person; he wouldn't do something like taking Huo Yu´er's group hostage. So, Ye Wen answered his question without hesitation.
"Nice to meet you, a powerful being from another world: the Holy Death Soul Mage and Calamity of the Undead, Electrolux."
At the sound of these words, Electrolux furrowed his brow, then seemed to experience a headache as he rubbed his temples.
"Such a familiar name. It seems many people have called me that, but my memory is too blurry. It seems my damage is so severe that even my true name is beyond recall."
"Heh, there's no need to rush," Ye Wen said softly, offering some comfort. "At our level, time is no longer a constraint."
The value of Electrolux was beyond doubt. After all, despite Ye Wen having been a God King for nearly 20,000 years, this was the first time he had encountered someone capable of merging two conflicting divine powers into one, a being who was on the verge of stepping into divinity.
(Note: The author deliberately weakened Electrolux, having him acknowledge that Dragon God Mu En was as strong as he was. This is not a random claim from the author.)
Suddenly, Ye Wen realized he may have let something slip. Damn, he had been careless and forgotten to conceal his identity in front of a god level being.
As expected, the three women were now looking at him in shock.
In the Douluo Continent, where becoming a god was determined by connections, the term "god" held an unparalleled level of importance.
At this moment, Jiang Nannan gently nudged Huo Yu´er's shoulder, signaling her to step forward and ask questions. Although Huo Yu´er wasn't the oldest, she was undoubtedly the eldest senior sister.
Huo Yu´er hesitated slightly, but then took two steps forward.
"Master..."
Looking at Ye Wen's kind expression, Huo Yu´er finally gathered the courage to speak.
"Master, are you really a god?"
Ye Wen chuckled lightly. "Why, does my being a god change our relationship?"
Huo Yu´er paused, then remembered the subtle distance and restraint in her tone earlier. She could only awkwardly scratch her head, a bit embarrassed.
However, she soon adjusted her mindset and looked at Ye Wen with eager eyes.
"Master, if you are a god, could you bring my mother back to life? The legend of the Shrek Seven Monsters says that gods have the power to resurrect the dead. Could you help me?"
Ye Wen sighed softly, having thought that with the bond she had formed with Xiao Xiao and the others, Huo Yu´er might have temporarily let go of her past pain. However, the shadow of her childhood trauma was something that would take a lifetime to heal, and Huo Yu´er still deeply mourned her mother's death.
Seeing Ye Wen's sigh, Huo Yu´er's face turned pale, thinking that Ye Wen was rejecting her request.
Jiang Nannan and Xiao Xiao shook their heads in disbelief, thinking that their good sister was too rash. Bringing someone back to life was no trivial matter; it couldn't just be casually done.
Yet Ye Wen stepped forward and gently patted Huo Yu´er, who appeared helpless.
"Xiao Yu´er, do you still hate the Duke of the White Tiger?"
Huo Yu´er looked confused, and although she was saddened that her master wouldn't resurrect her mother, the lingering resentment in her heart was still strong. She nodded firmly. Ye Wen then made his decisive move.
"You know, Xiao Yu´er, your mother still holds unrealistic hopes for that man. Are you sure you want me to resurrect your mother, and for her to let go of that deep seated hatred?"
Huo Yu´er, who was exceptionally intelligent, now understood what Ye Wen meant.
"Master, you... do you mean..." The answer appeared in her heart, but Huo Yu´er hesitated, unsure whether to say it aloud.
Ye Wen looked at the girl, who had already grown to his shoulder in just one year, and sighed.
"Master is a god, destined to bring peace to Douluo Continent. But gods have their rules. We cannot directly interfere with the changes in mortal nations. That is why I found you."
"My expectation for you is to end the chaos between the four nations of this continent, so that humans on Douluo Continent no longer have to slaughter one another, and true peace can be achieved."
"And you, Huo Yu´er, will become the first emperor to unite all of Douluo Continent... The Eternal Emperor."
This was the first time Ye Wen had shared his expectations for Huo Yu´er. The grandeur of this vision caused all four present to tremble with emotion.
Electrolux, who had been struggling to remember who he was, suddenly looked at Ye Wen with blazing eyes.
Although he still couldn't recall his past in detail, the word "peace" seemed to be etched into his very bones.
In Huo Yu´er's stunned expression, Ye Wen continued.
"But to achieve this, Xiao Yu´er, you not only need the power to overwhelm Douluo, but you must also sever the shackles of your past."
"The Duke of the White Tiger, what a grand title! Two thousand years before the Star Luo Empire, this family has existed for over twelve thousand years. But does their existence make them righteous?"
"Xiao Yu´er, as someone who comes from that family, you should understand the filth and coldness of the White Tiger family."
"When you become the Eternal Emperor in the future, they will definitely come to form connections with you. And if your mother is resurrected before that, her pure nature will undoubtedly be deceived by the Duke of the White Tiger."
"Everything you do will become the White Tiger family's bride price. Are you willing to accept that?"
"So, before that, although I feel guilty for you, I must say this: eliminate them, Huo Yu´er."
"Do you remember what I taught you? 'Repay kindness with kindness, but how should you repay evil? Repay evil with justice!'"
"Now, make your decision, Xiao Yu´er."
As Ye Wen spoke, a light appeared in his hand, and he emphasized once more.
"Make your choice."
"Resurrect your mother now, or wait until you've cleared all obstacles and then enjoy this world's beauty with your mother?"
A glowing orb began to form, slowly revealing a beautiful woman who resembled Huo Yu´er.
Huo Yu´er's mother, Huo Yun'er, appeared serene and floating in the air.
Seeing this figure that Huo Yu´er had longed for, her heart ached as tears fell from her eyes.
"Mom..."
