Chapter 654: Long Haochen’s Choice (II)

The terrifying spiritual waves persisted for a whole quarter of an hour before gradually pacifying.

“No, no… This can’t be! How could such feelings exist between humans? Humans are supposed to be vulgar and shameless, disregarding anything in front of benefit. Why would you have such feelings, just why?”

Elux howled in hysteria. Right now he seemed like a wounded wolf, completely turning mad.

No soul attack came. Long Haochen was drawing close to Cai’er, who noticed that right now Long Haochen was full of incomprehension. He had just consented to inherit Elux, so why would this Holy Necromancer make such a fuss?

Elux kept yelling all along so far, but Long Haochen could feel that the aura of death in the seventh floor of the Tower of Eternity was disappearing at an astonishing speed. This place, originally full of dense light essence, gradually regained its sacred feel.

This madness lasted for the time of a meal, before Elux gradually calmed down. Although he was just a soul with a body, it took him large gasps to breathe, and his body was at least half its previous volume. But it had become pure white. Right now his soul seemed ignited to burn strongly, and the soulfire pulsing in his eyes gradually pacified as well.

“Unexpected, what an unexpected thing!” Elux’s voice clearly became stiff, and although his emotions had settled down, his feeling of incomprehension was still present.

Long Haochen looked at him without understanding, “Senior, you can let me inherit your power.”

“……”

Elux shook his head, replying in distress, “No, I am not qualified. I was mistaken. I didn’t expect myself to really be so mistaken. I was mistaken for several thousand years....” He shook his head vigorously, full of pain.

Cai’er held Long Haochen’s hand, right now her mind was empty, filled up with Long Haochen’s figure.

She warmly stood by his side, all traces of her original coldness totally vanished. The haze from her youth’s traumas were all swept clean, leaving no traces behind. If one were to ask her why, surely she would reply that it’s the power of love. Right, Haochen showed her his abiding love, willing to renounce his convictions for the sake of love. This caused a sublimation of Cai’er’s soul, as all negative feelings in her were swept clean at that very moment.

Nothing else mattered in that life where this fulfilling love existed.

Elux raised his head, his ardent look faced toward this pair of sweethearts. His warm expression contained an unspoken admiration, but no traces of jealousy.

“Willing to hear my story? That’s a story from six thousand and eight hundred years ago.” Elux’s voice changed to contain a dense sadness, which came out all around him.

For some reason, Long Haochen felt thin surges of sympathy when looking at him, and nodded unconsciously.

Elux calmly declared, “Six thousand eight hundred ninety years ago, I was born in a city from the Pombo Empire on the northwest of the continent. This city was called Sidi.

“My father was the lord of Sidi, a hereditary earl, and I was his only son.

“From the day of my birth, I lived in nobility. For the sake of letting me succeed his position as earl in the future, he arranged the best teachers to teach me knowledge and etiquette. The year of my sixth birthday, my great affinity with light essence was found out: I was blessed with a constitution of a Scion of Light. Although nearly seven thousand years have passed since then, I still remember very well the great joy Father had at the time. He held me in his arms, and shouted in excitement through the whole hall, Elux, you are my pride!’
