Chapter 341: The Resurrection of Qian Daoliu
Upon determining that Qian Daoliu's soul was intact but extremely weak, Ye Cheng found a solution.
If his soul had been fragmented, it would have been a serious problem. Unlike other things, a damaged soul is difficult to repair, and even if restored, the person might lose most of their memories. However, since his soul was merely weakened due to excessive depletion, all that was needed was to replenish his energy and find him a suitable body.
This world does not have a Six Paths reincarnation system, and making him reincarnate in a pregnant woman's womb would take too long.
Therefore, Ye Cheng discarded both options and chose a third method: to replicate the technique once used by the former incarnation of the Sea God to grant Bo Saixi a new body, creating a new body for the weakened soul in his hands.
Why couldn't Qian Renxue, also a first level god, do the same thing as Neptune, who had been able to create a body and resurrect someone immediately after becoming a god?
The main reason was that their divine attributes were different. The Sea God's power had a natural advantage in this aspect since water is the origin of life. In contrast, the Angel God's attributes leaned more towards destruction and were not adept at this kind of creation.
More importantly, Qian Renxue had taken shortcuts to become a god. As a result, she was much weaker than a god in a normal state, and many of her divine inheritance abilities were incomplete or entirely absent.
That was the price of cheating.
After Ye Cheng explained his method, Bibi Dong, who had yet to become a god, remained silent, but Qian Renxue was shocked.
"A god can do something like this? Create a body? Why can't I do it?" she asked in astonishment.
"Perhaps it's because we specialize in different areas," Ye Cheng replied.
He refrained from saying, "Because you're too weak," as that would be too harsh. Instead, he casually gave an excuse to gloss over the matter.
"Alright, then what else do you need to resurrect my grandfather?" Qian Renxue asked, nodding in acceptance.
"Give me some of your divine power," Ye Cheng replied.
Creating a body required power, and it would also determine the nature of that body. Since Qian Daoliu's martial soul was the Six Winged Angel, there was no power more suitable than the Angel God's divine energy.
Only by using this energy could he be revived with strength comparable to what he had in life.
"How do I give it to you?" Qian Renxue asked, confused.
"Stretch out your hand," Ye Cheng said, extending his own hand.
Since this was about her grandfather's life, Qian Renxue obediently placed her hand on his palm. She immediately felt his hand's warmth and steadiness… a reassuring sensation.
In the next moment, a pulling force surged from Ye Cheng's palm. Qian Renxue instantly understood and, without hesitation, actively transferred her power to him without holding anything back.
After about sixty percent of her divine power had been absorbed, the pulling sensation disappeared, and they released each other's hands.
"Is that enough?" Qian Renxue asked.
"It's enough," Ye Cheng nodded. "This will replenish his soul, create his body, and even leave some extra power to strengthen him, so he won't have to start from scratch."
"That's a relief!" Qian Renxue let out a sigh. She had thought reviving her grandfather would take countless years, but the arrival of this man had made the process much faster.
"Next, I need a quiet chamber," Ye Cheng said. "It will take about half a day to a full day, but when it's done, I'll return you a lively, energetic grandfather. Make sure no one disturbs me."
"Don't worry, no one will!" Qian Renxue assured him firmly. At the same time, she instinctively glanced at Bibi Dong beside her, still somewhat wary of her. After all, Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu had always been at odds, so it was hard not to suspect she might try to interfere.
Bibi Dong, seeing Qian Renxue's distrustful gaze, didn't say much. She simply held the sleeping Keli in her arms, gently stroking her back, showing no interest in arguing.
She was no longer the same person she once was. The thought of destroying Spirit Hall no longer lingered in her mind. Moreover, the true culprit, Qian Xunji, had been killed years ago. In theory, her rage should have subsided after avenging her grudge.
However, at that time, she was undergoing the Rakshasa God's trial, and the influence of the Rakshasa's power had twisted her mindset. Instead of dissipating after she killed her enemy, her hatred and fury only grew stronger.
Now, with the drastic changes in the world and her god trial progressing rapidly, Bibi Dong had recently broken free from the Rakshasa God's influence. Her mindset had shifted, and she could finally view the past with a calmer heart.
Soon, Ye Cheng arrived at a highly secretive chamber within Spirit Hall.
For the record, this was not the same chamber from back then.
After giving Qian Renxue a final nod, the chamber door slowly closed.
As the doors shut and Ye Cheng's figure disappeared inside, Qian Renxue turned around and looked at Bibi Dong, who was holding Keli. With a complicated expression, she said, "There are some things I want to ask you."
Bibi Dong had already guessed what she wanted to ask, so she nodded and said, "Let me put this child to sleep first. Then, I'll tell you everything you want to know."
Qian Renxue nodded silently.
It was true having a child present would make their conversation inconvenient.
…
After carefully placing Keli on a soft bed and gently tucking her in, Qian Renxue watched as Bibi Dong displayed a level of motherly tenderness that made her feel conflicted.
The scene before her… it was something she had only ever dreamed of as a child.
"Let's go somewhere else to talk," Bibi Dong said after ensuring Keli was settled.
Qian Renxue nodded and walked out the door, with Bibi Dong following closely behind.
Meanwhile, inside the secret chamber, Ye Cheng began the process of resurrecting Qian Daoliu.
First, he released the Angel God's divine power he had absorbed from Qian Renxue, forming a golden orb of light that hovered in the room.
Next, he brought out Qian Daoliu's weakened soul.
As soon as he did, the white soul fragment seemed to sense the presence of the Angel God's power. Instinctively, it wobbled toward the golden orb of light.
In the blink of an eye, it fused into it.
