"Backtracking a plant with basic life characteristics consumes thirty times more than backtracking an inanimate object of the same volume. It seems that the Law of Causality's correction for 'life' has an extremely high weight."
This discovery gave him a deeper understanding of his own power.
The Chat Group had gone completely crazy.
[Worlds Number One Princess: It's alive! The grass came back to life! I saw it! The broken grass grew back!]
[Is Jade Not Jade: This... this isn't just restoration anymore, this is bringing the dead back to life! Even if it's just a blade of grass...]
[Ghost Cat: Life... he reversed the process of life's withering.]
In Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong's breathing became rapid. She gripped the armrest tightly, her nails almost sinking into the gold.
Resurrection!
Even if it was just a blade of grass, it was still resurrection!
This represented a possibility! A forbidden Domain that even gods could not easily step into!
Li Yifei's experiment continued.
He looked at the repaired Blue Silver Grass with a calm gaze. To obtain more precise data, he needed a more thorough experimental sample.
He reached out his hand, and this time, a wisp of faint Origin Power emerged from his palm, directly crushing the Blue Silver Grass into fine powder, completely destroying even the smallest cellular structures.
Its life aura vanished completely.
"What would the difficulty of backtracking a dead living organism be?"
With an inquisitive mindset, he activated Momentary Eternity for the third time.
This time, the rotation of the hourglass dial clearly became strained.
The spirit power within Li Yifei's body poured out frantically, like a floodgate being opened!
"Buzz~"
The crushed grass fragments vibrated violently, enveloped by a thick, inseparable green light of life.
It wasn't a simple rewind.
Rather, at the level of Law, it forcibly commanded this segment of 'death' Karma to be invalid, flowing upstream from the lower reaches of the river of time to return to the time node when it was 'alive'!
Li Yifei felt that his spirit power, which had just recovered to less than fifty percent, was mostly drained away within a mere three seconds!
The data on his wristwatch sounded a frantic alarm.
[Warning! spirit power consumption exceeds fifty percent! Subject's energy reserves are dropping rapidly!]
But he did not stop.
Finally, the green light dissipated.
A perfectly intact Blue Silver Grass, even more lush and green than before, stood quietly in its original place.
From death to new life.
"I see..." Li Yifei understood in his heart.
"Backtracking inanimate objects has the lowest consumption. Backtracking living organisms causes a surge in consumption. And backtracking 'dead' organisms causes consumption to explode exponentially. Furthermore, the higher the life level of the target and the stronger its power, the greater this consumption will be."
He had obtained the conclusion he wanted, and the price paid was his spirit power being nearly drained again.
But he felt it was worth it.
This data was more precious than any Immortal Herb or divine medicine.
However, the calm conclusion he reached through the experiment set off a massive wave in the eyes of others.
Dugu Bo was already kneeling on the ground, not out of fear, but out of the piety of witnessing a miracle of creation.
He looked at the grass, old tears streaming down his face as he repeatedly muttered: "God... a True God..."
In the livestream room, after a deathly silence, came a mountain-shaking tsunami of comments.
[Worlds Number One Princess: I... I don't know what to say... I'm at a loss for words...]
[Is Jade Not Jade: From today on, whoever says there are gods, I'll throw this recording in their face! This is what a fucking god is!]
[Little Fox Demon: What exactly is the power that we Spirit Masters pursue...]
Hu Liena's thoughts carried a trace of confusion.
And amidst this chaos and shock.
One person's reaction was different from the rest.
In Nuoding City, Xiao Wu stared fixedly at the resurrected Blue Silver Grass on the screen. Her petite body was trembling violently, and in her large eyes, tears fell uncontrollably like a broken dam.
Mom...
Only these two words remained in her mind.
Her mother was a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast who was hunted by Spirit Hall and finally sacrificed herself to protect her.
If...
If even dead grass can be resurrected...
Then what about Mom?
An unprecedented hope, like frantically growing vines, instantly entwined around her heart.
With trembling hands, she used all her strength to send that question in the Chat Group that was enough to change everything.
[Bunny is So Cute: Yi Fei Gege... then... then can you... resurrect my mom?]
Xiao Wu's line of text, carrying the intent of a sobbing voice, was like a bucket of ice water in the boiling Chat Group, instantly extinguishing all the clamor.
Resurrect... Mom?
The weight contained in these two words made all the girls watching the screen feel suffocated.
Li Yifei gazed at that trembling inquiry. In his calm mind, the data stream began to surge at an unprecedented speed.
Resurrection.
From a logical level, it was not impossible. He had just completed a reversal of the concept of 'death'.
But he immediately pulled up the energy consumption report from backtracking the Blue Silver Grass just now.
Repairing a damaged living Blue Silver Grass consumed three percent of spirit power.
Backtracking a dead Blue Silver Grass that was completely crushed and whose life characteristics had entirely vanished consumed over fifty percent of spirit power.
And that was just a plant without any power.
Xiao Wu's mother was a sacrificed Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast. Her life level, total energy, and the complexity of her Karmic entanglement were at a level completely incomparable to a blade of Blue Silver Grass.
Using his current spirit power reserves as a baseline for deduction, the result given by the watch was a red, despair-inducing symbol.
[∞]
[Li Yifei: Theoretically feasible.]
Li Yifei typed these two words in the Chat Group.
He was not lying. In his cognitive system, as long as there was enough energy, nothing was impossible.
[Bunny is So Cute: Real... Really?!]
A burst of wild joy erupted from Xiao Wu's thoughts, but immediately after, Li Yifei's next sentence threw her back to reality.
[Li Yifei: But with my current energy reserves, I cannot pay the price. The gap cannot be measured by orders of magnitude.]
The answer he gave was calm and objective, without a single trace of comfort or sympathy.
However, it was this cruel truth that made Xiao Wu, in her dormitory in Nuoding City, turn from despairing sobs into whimpers suppressed by immense hope.
It's possible!
It's just that there's not enough energy!
It's not 'impossible', but 'temporarily impossible'!
That was enough!
This, more than any false comfort, allowed her to see the light!
[Bunny is So Cute: I'll wait! Yi Fei Gege! I'll wait for you! No matter how long it takes, I'll wait!]
Her thoughts carried a determination that could burn everything. From this moment on, her life had a single ultimate goal that transcended revenge.
Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong's body, which had been cold because of the word 'resurrection', instead felt a surge of burning heat after seeing Li Yifei's answer.
He can resurrect.
He admitted it, he can resurrect!
