57: Chapter 57: The Undead Demiplane is officially open! My dream is for the three of us to sleep together!

As soon as his Mental Energy entered that node, Huo Yuhao's body swayed violently.

"Teacher, this place is eating my Mental Energy!"

Electrolux raised his staff, and the gray runes quickly converged.

"Steady."

"I'm already very steady!"

"You're shouting like you're about to give birth."

Tianmeng Iceworm crouched to the side, resting her chin on her hands, her shoulders shaking with laughter.

Huo Yuhao almost lost his breath.

"Sister Tianmeng, can you say something auspicious?"

"Sister is helping you decompress."

"I'm under even more pressure now!"

The Ice Empress crossed her arms and glanced at Tianmeng.

"Shut up."

"Bingbing, the way you look when you're fierce is also so cute."

"Say one more word, and I'll stuff you into the node."

"Then Yuhao and I can live in the same node; rounding it up, that counts as sleeping in the same bed."

Huo Yuhao's temple throbbed.

"You can calculate it like that?"

Tianmeng lifted her head righteously.

"Of course I can. My dream has always been very consistent: to sleep with you and Bingbing. The bed must be big, the blanket must be big, this is what is called sleeping under the same blanket."

The Ice Empress raised her right hand, and cold energy was already condensing in her palm.

Tianmeng immediately hid behind Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao, protect your sister!"

"You dug this grave yourself, handle it yourself."

"Heartless!"

"I still want to live a few more years."

"Enough."

Electrolux tapped the ground with his staff, and the entire Spiritual Sea vibrated gently.

"The passage is forming. Whoever interrupts Yuhao again, I will have her go to the Undead Semi-Plane to dig soil."

Tianmeng poked out half her head.

"Teacher, is food and lodging included?"

Electrolux looked at her.

Tianmeng immediately stood straight.

"I suddenly feel that being quiet is also quite good."

Huo Yuhao regained control of his Mental Energy.

A pulling sensation came from deep within the node, and his golden Mental Energy was continuously sucked into it.

The space coordinate, which was originally only the size of a fist, began to expand, and ripples of gray waves spread outward.

The scene of the Undead Semi-Plane also became clear.

A gray sky, black earth, and that sprout that had just grown leaves; around the sprout, a circle of moist soil had appeared.

Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment.

"Teacher, is there water nearby?"

"Only a trace of water vapor."

Electrolux stared at the space map.

"This indicates that the semi-plane has begun to actively absorb external energy. The fact that the plant can survive proves that it already possesses the most basic conditions for life."

Tianmeng leaned in to take a look.

"In other words, if we move the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in, it can really be sustained?"

"Don't be happy yet."

The Ice Empress spoke up.

"The power of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is too strong. Those two energies have been balanced for many years; moving them even slightly could trigger an explosion."

Huo Yuhao asked, "How powerful would it be?"

The Ice Empress reached out and patted his shoulder.

"Probably enough for you to be reincarnated."

"Then can I refuse?"

"Too late."

"I knew it."

Electrolux raised his hand, and dozens of nodes on the space map lit up simultaneously.

"This is only the first coordinate."

"How many are left?"

"Forty-nine."

Huo Yuhao's vision went dark.

"Teacher, my Mental Energy has a salary cap too!"

"I don't understand."

"It means I'm about to be drained dry."

"Rest assured, I know what I'm doing."

"The last time you said that, I was bedridden for three days."

"This time, two days at most."

Huo Yuhao was silent for a moment.

"That doesn't sound any better at all."

Tianmeng patted her chest.

"There's still your sister here. If your Mental Energy isn't enough, I'll lend you mine."

The Ice Empress sneered.

"With your little bit of Mental Energy, how much will be left after you lend it?"

Tianmeng blinked.

"Is Bingbing concerned about me?"

"I'm afraid you'll become stupid after lending it."

"No matter how stupid I become, I'll still remember to sleep with you."

"Get lost."

"Alright then."

Tianmeng agreed verbally, but her body moved two steps closer to the Ice Empress.

The Ice Empress raised her leg and kicked.

Tianmeng dodged skillfully and ran half a circle around Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao, look at her, she's committing domestic violence!"

Huo Yuhao ignored her.

The second coordinate had already lit up, and his Mental Energy rushed into the passage.

This time, the pulling sensation was stronger.

Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth, compressed his Mental Energy into a beam, and slowly pushed forward along the edge of the node.

Electrolux watched his operation, a bit more satisfaction appearing in his eyes.

"Do not clash head-on with spatial power."

"Borrow its direction to push the node open."

"Understood."

"The third coordinate is to your left."

"I see it."

"Slow down."

"Teacher, I feel like this passage is rotating."

"Space itself has no fixed direction; what you perceive as up, down, left, and right is just the judgment given by the Spiritual Sea."

"Speak plainly."

"Follow my staff."

"That's much easier to understand."

The gray staff pointed forward, and Huo Yuhao immediately followed.

The third node opened.

The fourth node lit up accordingly.

The fifth, the sixth, the seventh...

A ring-shaped passage gradually appeared above the Spiritual Sea.

The other end of the passage connected to the Undead Semi-Plane.

Every time a coordinate was opened, a tiny crack appeared in the sky of the semi-plane.

There was no aura of destruction in the cracks, only the heaven and earth energy introduced from Douluo Continent.

The sprout swayed gently and grew a little taller.

Tianmeng's eyes lit up as she watched.

"It really grew!"

The Ice Empress also put aside her playful mood.

"After external energy enters the semi-plane, it can indeed be absorbed."

"Bingbing, do you think if we put our bed here, we'll get stronger every time we wake up?"

"Is there only a bed left in your brain?"

"And you."

"I'm warning you."

"And Yuhao."

"You're quite fair."

Huo Yuhao was about to open the twelfth coordinate when he heard this, and his Mental Energy shuddered on the spot.

A roar immediately came from within the node.

Electrolux swept his staff and forcibly stabilized the passage.

"Tianmeng."

"Here!"

"Get out."

"Teacher, I can help!"

"You've already been a hindrance."

"I promise not to say another word."

The Ice Empress nodded.

"This promise is just like when she tries to lose weight; you can just listen to it."

Tianmeng clutched her chest.

"Bingbing, how could you expose my past in front of Yuhao?"

"Do you have a past?"

"Of course I do."

"All dark history?"

"That's called the path I came from!"

Huo Yuhao opened one eye.

"Why don't you go chat to the side?"

Tianmeng immediately leaned in.

"Is Yuhao annoyed with us?"

"A little bit."

"Then sister will replenish your Mental Energy."

Tianmeng put away her smile, and a layer of golden light appeared on her forehead.

Gentle Mental Energy surged into Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Sea, quickly replenishing his consumption.

Huo Yuhao's tense body relaxed a little.

"Sister Tianmeng, thank you."

"Verbal thanks are not enough."

"What do you want?"

"Let me sleep with you and Bingbing tonight."

"No."

Huo Yuhao and the Ice Empress spoke at the same time.

Tianmeng looked hurt.

"The two of you actually have such good chemistry."

The Ice Empress reached out to press her face and pushed her away.

"Back off once you've replenished the Mental Energy."

"Bingbing, you're so cruel."

"One more word, and I'll stuff you in too."

Tianmeng shut up decisively.

With her Mental Energy support, the speed of opening the remaining nodes became much faster.

The twentieth.

The thirtieth.

The fortieth.

When the forty-eighth coordinate lit up, Huo Yuhao was already covered in sweat.

He stared at the last node and panted twice.

"Teacher, where is the last one?"

Electrolux did not answer.

On the space map, forty-eight coordinates were all flickering, but the central area was blank.

The Ice Empress frowned.

"Did the central node disappear?"

"It did not disappear."

Electrolux's gaze fell on Huo Yuhao.

"The final node is you."

"Me?"

"The Undead Semi-Plane is connected to your soul. To make this passage stable for the long term, your spiritual origin must be used as the key."

Huo Yuhao asked, "Will it hurt my origin?"

"Under normal circumstances, it will not."

"What about abnormal circumstances?"

"Soul damage, collapse of the Spiritual Sea; in severe cases, it could lead to death."

Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched.

"Your supplementary explanation is a bit late."

Tianmeng became anxious immediately.

"No, find another way."

"There is only this path."

"Then we can't gamble with Yuhao's spiritual origin!"

Tianmeng blocked Huo Yuhao, the smile already gone from her face.

"Old man, you want to build the Undead Semi-Plane, I support it, but if something happens to Yuhao, all plans must stop."

Electrolux was not angry.

"I will protect his spiritual origin."

"How much certainty do you have?"

"Ninety percent."

"What about the remaining ten percent?"

"It depends on him."

Tianmeng turned back.

"Yuhao, don't try to be brave."

Huo Yuhao looked at the sprout in the Undead Semi-Plane.

"The power left behind by the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings is enough to bring huge changes to the semi-plane; the Immortal Plants, springs, and soil there can also complete the life cycle."

"Think clearly."

"I've thought it through."

Tianmeng wanted to say more, but Huo Yuhao raised his hand to hold her shoulder first.

"I have Teacher protecting me, and you helping me replenish my Mental Energy."

"The Ice Empress is also here."

"If something really goes wrong, you can all pull me back."

Tianmeng gritted her teeth.

"You guy is always like this."

"Like what?"

"Saying it lightly, but when it's your turn to risk your life, you rush faster than anyone."

"I'm not risking my life this time."

"You just heard it could lead to death."

"There's still a ninety percent chance."

"What if?"

Huo Yuhao smiled.

"Sister Tianmeng, your dream hasn't been realized yet, how could I bear to let something happen to me?"

Tianmeng was stunned, and the Ice Empress spoke coldly.

"Don't listen to him coaxing you; he's just changing the subject."

Tianmeng sniffed and immediately grabbed Huo Yuhao's hand.

"I don't care, you just acknowledged my dream."

"I only acknowledged that it exists."

"If it exists, it can be realized."

"Your logic is really strong."

"Of course."

Electrolux raised his staff.

"Prepare."

Huo Yuhao closed his eyes again, and his spiritual origin appeared deep within the Spiritual Sea.

Golden light condensed into a small rune and slowly flew toward the center of the space map.

Just as the rune was about to fall, a layer of silver light suddenly rippled across the sky of the Spiritual Sea.

The Ice Empress turned around instantly.

"Who?"

The silver light gathered, and a figure walked out from it.

Silver hair hung down, and purple eyes swept across the space map, finally stopping on the central node.

Gu Yuena raised her hand and pinched the origin rune that was about to fall.

Huo Yuhao opened his eyes.

"Nana?"
