Chapter 52 Healing Childhood with the World (Old)
(This is a dark history, don’t read it, new readers can just read chapter 52 for the revision)
(For those of you who have just read this, there are two versions of Chapter 52. The second version is at the end. There is a vote at the end of the second version. Please see which one you prefer.)

Faced with Electrolux's rejection, Qiangu Huangyu felt like he was shooting himself in the foot. He had wanted to deepen their trust by synchronizing their memories, but unexpectedly Electrolux saw through his intentions.

In order to gain Alex's trust, Qiangu Huangyu directly told Alex the truth about how he was captured by Di Tian and forged the identity of the Star-Eating God King to deceive Gu Yuena.

After all, in Qiangu Huangyu's opinion, deceiving someone who is by your side and deceiving someone who is in your spiritual sea are two completely different levels of difficulty. If it is exposed later, there will be a crisis of trust, so it is better to tell Electrolux directly from the beginning.

Therefore, in Alex's opinion, Qiangu Huangyu is just an ordinary child, but this child directly deceived the Silver Dragon King and Emperor Tian who stood at the pinnacle of this plane. This child is really too cunning!
Qiangu Huangyu laughed awkwardly and said, "I am just giving you some of my life experiences in this world. Why do you think I am a person with bad intentions?"

Alex said, "We are communicating in the form of spirits. A person's spirit is the most difficult to fake. And I am familiar with your eyes."

Qiangu Huangyu was slightly startled, seeming to find it a little unbelievable.

Alex raised his head, his thoughts entering into distant memories. "There is almost no love in your eyes. They are completely filled with desire for power and strength. Your red pupils seem to set the world on fire. If you gain the power to dominate everything, you will use everything in this world to heal your unhappy childhood."

Facing Alex's words, Qiangu Huangyu admitted that her defense was broken. She didn't expect that the reason for being rejected was because she didn't have innocent eyes!

You think my eyes are not pure enough? You are already in Douluo and you are still asking me to play this?

Qiangu Huangyu stood there in a daze, his red eyes trembling violently. Following Alex's words, a series of bad memories from his two lifetimes came to his mind.

The first life was too long ago, Qiangu Huangyu only remembered that he was not very happy, and it is better not to mention more.

...

Coming to Douluo Continent, I thought my life would change...

Before she awakened her martial spirit, Qiangu Dieting had almost never cared about her, never celebrated her birthday, and never had a meal with her. But after she awakened her martial spirit, he cared for her even more, fearing that she would be hurt or wronged.

And her mother Ning Qingyu never read any bedtime stories to her. She only told her over and over again that she must awaken the Panlong Stick martial spirit and that she must have full innate soul power so that she could defeat those vixens.

Qiangu Huangyu could not forget the disappointment in his mother's eyes when his martial soul was not the Panlong Stick, nor could he forget the excitement in her eyes when he learned that both Qiangu Dieting and Beigong Li doted on him.

...

...

Qiangu Huangyu forced himself to calm down. "Although my life is not that good, isn't it too arbitrary for you to judge me by your eyes?"

Electrolux stared directly into Qiangu Huangyu's pupils, as if he wanted to see through her. "You are a very complicated person. Although you always think that you are not a good person, you like to scheme against others and always put personal interests above collective interests. But in fact, you have not done anything too harmful to the world. Your actual moral standards are much higher than you think."

Qiangu Huangyu was stunned, not knowing why Electrolux suddenly said all this, but Qiangu Huangyu could tell that the end of Electrolux's words was full of sarcasm, and for a moment he didn't know what Electrolux was planning.

“Do you hope that I won’t be flexible in my moral bottom line in the future and let the employees of the Spirit Pagoda enjoy the 996 experience?” Qiangu Huangyu said half-jokingly.

But Electrolux did not respond.

Just when Qiangu Huangyu was lost in confusion and doubt, a strong hand rested on Qiangu Huangyu's shoulder.

"What I want to say is that it is not your fault to have such a personality. If you need to spend your whole life to heal your childhood, then it must be the responsibility of your family, not you."

Qiangu Huangyu looked at Alex in a daze, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Electrolux said, "People always learn from their elders when they are young. Although you don't like your elders, you cannot deny that you have been influenced by them. The irony is that you hate them, but you become like them, pursuing power and strength, but you cover it all up."

"You possess unparalleled talent, even better than your senior brother."

"Senior Brother?" Qiangu Huangyu raised his head blankly.

Alex responded with a gentle smile. "Yes, my first disciple in this world. I don't know if you have heard of his name. His name is Huo Yuhao. I don't know if the big bug and the little scorpion succeeded in the end."

At the end, a hint of reminiscence of the past flashed in Electrolux's eyes.

"Then and I..."

Alex continued, "Since you can revive me, you just need my power. I am willing to be your teacher and teach you everything about me. But at the same time, I will gradually influence and change you, and tell you what is right and what is wrong."

There is always light at the end of the tunnel. Qiangu Huangyu had given up hope of relying on the power of Electrolux, but he didn't expect Electrolux to take him in as a disciple. Electrolux suddenly frowned, "Why, you don't want to?"

Qiangu Huangyu immediately knelt in front of Alex and said, "Elder Yi, I heard that you don't have any children. My parents died early. If you don't mind, I want to take care of you in your old age!"

Although Alex didn't understand what Qiangu Huangyu was doing, he still smiled and helped her up. "I am willing to accept you as my apprentice because you have not really done anything harmful to the world even though you are stuck in the quagmire. Fame and wealth are just a piece of paper, and will eventually turn into dust. It's not a bad thing to have an active mind, but remember not to be blinded by desire."

"Disciple is grateful for your advice." Qiangu Huangyu looked at Alex and seemed to understand what he said.

Through the Eternal Phoenix Feather, Alex seemed to see the young man on the Holy Demon Continent who was betrayed by his lover, full of hatred and wanted to destroy everything.

[If there was someone by my side to teach me and counsel me, perhaps everything would be different...]

Alex patted Qiangu Huangyu's shoulder and said, "Since you have never felt the love and care from your elders, let me give it to you."

Crystal clear tears slid down Qiangu Huangyu's face. He recalled his two lives. Although he had transformed from a mule and horse kneeling soldier into a Roman nobleman, he had never received the proper love from his parents, and no one had ever taught him what was right and what was wrong. No wonder he was rushing towards the path of an outlaw.

What Alex didn't tell Qiangu Huangyu was that there was another very important reason why he was willing to accept her as his disciple. He saw his former self in Qiangu Huangyu.

Patience and compromise are only because of her weakness. When she becomes strong from weak, the whole world will pay for her misfortune.

It would be fine if she had average talent, and naturally she would never have the chance to shine, but Alex had no doubt that the girl in front of him would stand at the pinnacle of the continent in the future.

The past cannot be changed, but we must grasp the future.

[This is the best outcome. I can slowly influence her and supervise her while teaching her magic. If she is really pushed to the limit and directly uses the Command Spell to order me to commit suicide, that would not be a good thing.] Alex thought silently.

"Don't cry, you won't be pretty if you keep crying." Alex said while comforting Qiangu Huangyu, "I will teach you the basics of necromancy now. You must practice well, but don't lose your original intention."

(Third update, how could Yi Lao's debut be interrupted?)
I am afraid that some readers will not read the author's words, so I will stop here:

In fact, I had been thinking about the plot about the first meeting between Electrolux and the protagonist for a long time, and finally decided to make them almost explode when they met for the first time.

I have expressed the character of the protagonist before: he has a conscience, but not much.

Whether it was to purposely win the favor of Qiangu Qingfeng or to use the matter of resurrecting Bibi Dong to control Qian Renxue, the protagonist would feel guilty, but she still did it for the sake of maximizing her own interests.

The protagonist is not a good person in the traditional sense. She will help others when it does not involve her core interests, and she will worry about the country and the people. But she always puts her own personal interests first, and is willing to give up the interests of her family, the Spiritual Tower, and the Federation.

According to my understanding of Electrolux, as a person who has bullied half of the creatures on the continent and is now advising Huo Gua in Douluo Dalu not to be blinded by hatred.

Alex knows what is right and what is wrong. He does not stop Huo Gua from taking revenge, but he does not want Huo Gua to be dominated by hatred.

As for the protagonist, he actually does not have any deep hatred. The protagonist's problem actually lies in his own arrogance, unwillingness to be ordinary, and excessive desire for strength and power, which are unique to time travelers.

If the original Huo Gua was blinded by hatred, then the protagonist was blinded by desire.

That's why Alex rejected the protagonist at the beginning. Alex doesn't object to the protagonist wanting to become stronger and wanting to have a say, but people should control desires, not desires controlling people.

Just like I said in the book, while the protagonist has given her feelings, she will definitely be tied down by them. She is not a profit-seeking machine, she is a human being, and she will truly integrate into this world.

Anyway, the first chapter is about to end. It took me more than fifty chapters to finally bring together the main characters.

I will write both the plot and the emotional line carefully in the future, and try my best to make the plot and characters logical.

I've seen that fan fiction never likes to follow the main plot of the original work, it's like reading the original work again. So I will definitely not copy the original work, you can rest assured about that.

In terms of emotions, I don’t want to write about being in love. Although love is unreasonable, basic logic must exist.

In terms of combat power, because of the timing I chose, I inevitably need to create some original characters to fill in the gaps, such as the chief and deputy chiefs of the Tang Sect, and some high-ranking members of the Holy Spirit Church, but I try my best to ensure that the combat power does not collapse. The strength of the major forces will only fluctuate slightly based on the original work. There will not be a situation where an original character can kick Emperor Tian and punch Yun Ming.

In the next chapter, the scene will no longer be limited to the Spirit Pagoda, and the protagonist will begin to truly confront the geniuses of this era. Stay tuned.
