Chapter 215: Life Water, Law of Death

As soon as this branch touched the Life Water, it began to bubble and fizz; the whole bowl of water looked as if it were boiling, and it quickly absorbed the entire bowl of water.

Having been scorched and withered to this state yet still not dead, and even able to absorb Life Water, it is undoubtedly a branch of the Life Tree.

However, this bowl of Life Water did not have much effect; after it was absorbed, there was no change.

"Just throw it into the Life Lake; there is no need to purify it. Let this branch absorb it slowly, we can just wait!" said the Fairy Queen.

"That's true, and it's not like we're short on time." After saying this, Jerry threw the Life Tree branch directly into the Life Lake.

As soon as the Life Tree branch touched the Life Lake, it sank straight to the bottom.

Is this still wood? It actually sinks.

Jerry immediately used his divine sense to hold the branch, not letting it sink too deep.

The Life Tree branch, submerged in the water, did not absorb it very quickly at first, but after a day passed, the speed of absorbing the Life Water accelerated a little.

"Fairy Queen, can't you cast a Growth Skill on it?" Jerry felt it was too slow and asked the Fairy Queen.

"Growth Skills have a prerequisite, which is a healthy plant. This branch of yours has no roots and no leaves, what do you think?"

"When I did cuttings before, some of them didn't have leaves or roots either!"

"That is because the cuttings you took were just removed from the tree and still had vitality. This Life Tree branch of yours is completely dried out; you must wait for it to recover its vitality first."

"Alright then."

Suddenly, Jerry remembered that Daming was at the bottom of the lake. Although Daming could transform into a human, he still preferred his beast form, so he spent most of his time cultivating in the lake in his beast form.

"Daming, come out quickly!"

Hearing Jerry's call, Daming poked his head out directly from the bottom of the lake.

"Jerry, what is the matter?" Daming asked.

"Daming, this branch is a branch of the Life Tree, a very important item. It needs Life Water to revive. You are always cultivating at the bottom of the lake, so help me keep an eye on it."

"Alright, do I just need to watch it?"

"Yes, but once it recovers its vitality, notify me."

"Alright."

After Daming finished speaking, he took the Life Tree branch back to the bottom of the lake.

Jerry thought about the Life Water he had purified before. He heard the Fairy Queen say that Life Water is also very precious; plants can accelerate their growth by absorbing it, and animals can heal wounds by absorbing it.

Therefore, it is necessary to purify more of it to use for alchemy.

The first step of Jerry's alchemy is to dissolve the medicinal properties into water and finally purify it. He had been using ordinary water before, so would the effect be better if he used Life Water now?

Afterwards, after Jerry purified some Life Water, he went to refine Bloodline Pills.

Why Bloodline Pills? Because all other pills use medicinal herbs, and Jerry is currently very good at cultivating medicinal herbs. However, the most important thing in Bloodline Pills is blood; the other auxiliary herbs are just to remove the violent factors in the blood. Even if the quality is raised to one hundred thousand years, the effect is still just removing violent factors, and there is no increase in the medicinal properties of the Bloodline Pill.

Life Water is different; it is very mild and will not conflict with other medicinal herbs.

Moreover, what is contained in Life Water is life energy. Jerry also does not understand the principle of this life energy; it is too profound and too complex.

The Fairy Queen also said that no one knows how Life Water is born. Because of the effects of Life Water, many people have studied it, but no one has figured out how to produce Life Water.

Life is truly magical, just like the scientists of his past life who were always exploring life but never truly understood it in the end.

In the Star Dou Great Forest, the first thing Jerry thought of was the Emerald Swan tribe. He hadn't visited them for a long time, so he would go see how they were developing now.

Jerry arrived at the Emerald Swan's habitat. The number of Emerald Swans is truly not small now; looking at it, they are densely packed everywhere.

The Emerald Swan is a race willing to breed offspring. In the past, they just lacked a method for incubation, but now with Jerry's Incubation Room, the number is increasing rapidly.

However, the Emerald Swan tribe is a bit different now; there are many newly built incubation rooms nearby. It looks like they have used up all the spare materials he left behind.

And besides the Emerald Swans, many other bird Soul Beasts have appeared here. What is going on?

Entering the territory of the Emerald Swans, many Emerald Swans ran out to greet Jerry.

A bit unexpectedly, Biji was also here.

"Biji, you are here too!" Jerry greeted her politely.

"Jerry, thank you. I heard from them that because of you, the Emerald Swan tribe was able to develop."

"You're welcome. I also value the abilities of the Emerald Swan tribe. Many Soul Beasts in the forest can't stay idle and often fight. Although there is no life danger now, they are often injured. The Emerald Swan tribe has contributed a lot during this time, so I am cultivating the Emerald Swan tribe for the sake of the forest as well."

"Although you say so, I still have to thank you. Do you have anything to do today?"

"I came to see how the Emerald Swan tribe is developing. It looks very good. By the way, why are there so many other bird Soul Beasts here now?"

"This has to do with the Incubation Room you built. Many bird Soul Beasts know how to hatch eggs, but it is time-consuming, and they cannot do other things while hatching. In the end, the survival rate after hatching is not high. After they learned that you built an Incubation Room in the forest, they all ran over to try it. Finally, they found that the survival rate is much higher than hatching by themselves, and the chicks after hatching have special care, which is much better than them taking care of them themselves, so they all ran over."

"So that's how it is. But it seems like the Incubation Room is not enough?"

"Yes, there are too many bird Soul Beasts, so it is indeed not enough. Therefore, they can only hatch nearby and wait until there is a spot to transfer the eggs into the Incubation Room."

"So many bird Soul Beasts are waiting. I happen to have time today, so I will build a few more incubation rooms."

"Then thank you so much."

Hearing Jerry say that he would build a few more incubation rooms, not only Biji but also some bird Soul Beasts nearby were very happy.

Biji had studied the Incubation Room before, but unfortunately, it was full of Spirit Guidance devices, and she did not know how to make them.

Later, she even asked the Silver Dragon King and the others, but none of them knew how to make them. She originally wanted to go find the Fairy Queen, but as soon as she thought of the Fairy Queen's terror, she didn't dare to go.

Jerry's arrival this time can just solve the problem of having too few incubation rooms. For all oviparous Soul Beasts, the Incubation Room is an opportunity to further strengthen their race.

The Incubation Room is actually very simple. Many Fairies can make them now, but no one asked them to make them.

Jerry went back directly to find one hundred little Fairies who liked making Spirit Guidance devices. After telling them the quantity needed, they took the materials and started making them.

The Temperature Control Soul Guidance Device for the Incubation Room is very simple. Even the slowest little Fairy can make one in an hour.

As for the houses to install the temperature control, Jerry didn't need to do anything at all; a group of bird Soul Beasts started building them themselves.

Many birds know how to build nests and have a lot of experience in construction. Following the appearance of the previous Incubation Room, they built one thousand incubation rooms in one day.

Many hands make light work. In less than ten hours, one thousand temperature control devices were made.

Then he called the ape-type Soul Beasts helping here to start the installation.

In less than an hour, the installation was complete.

One thousand new incubation rooms were activated, and the other Soul Beasts waiting outside rushed toward the incubation rooms, each carrying their own egg.

After the incubation room issue was resolved, Jerry asked Biji:

"Biji, you have been coming to the Emerald Swan clan often during this time. Have you discovered any special Emerald Swans, such as those that cultivate particularly fast, are very spiritual, or have fur colors naturally different from the others?"

"There are indeed such cases. There are three of them; they were very spiritual from birth and cultivated exceptionally fast. In less than two months, they cultivated into Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts. I feel their talent is quite good and they may become pillars of the Emerald Swan clan in the future, so I have paid special attention to those three."

"Yes, yes, yes. Can you call them out and let me see them?"

"I can. I will go call those three little ones now."

Not long after, Biji arrived in front of Jerry, carrying the three little ones.

Upon seeing Jerry, the three little ones were not shy. One of them flapped its wings and flew onto Jerry's shoulder, while the other two also wanted to fly over but were held back by Biji in time, preventing them from landing on Jerry.

"These three little ones seem to really like you."

At this moment, Jerry's attention was entirely on the three little ones. Their eyes were different from the other Emerald Swans; they were very spiritual, and they appeared to have high intelligence.

Jerry used his Divine Soul to directly examine the souls of the three little ones, which instantly filled Jerry with surprise.

The souls of the three little ones were not simple; they had already transformed into Divine Souls. The Divine Souls were all humanoid—two female and one male—though the Divine Souls were all in a deep sleep.

The three of them were likely reincarnated ancient gods, only their cultivation was currently insufficient, so they had been in a deep sleep since reincarnating.

This also explained why the three little ones liked him more; because his body was full of energy, and this energy attracted them. The souls of other Soul Beasts were too weak to perceive it, but these three little ones were Divine Souls and immediately sensed Jerry's uniqueness.

Because they craved energy, and Jerry was full of energy and constantly radiated some of it, all three little ones wanted to fly onto Jerry.

"These three little ones are truly ungrateful. I have taken care of them for so long, but the moment they see you, they don't want me anymore!" Biji said while holding down the two little ones that were still struggling.

"It's fine, let them go. The three of them are indeed different. Let them follow me for now; I will help them with their Cultivation."

Upon hearing Jerry's words, the three little ones chirped happily. Biji looked at the three ungrateful little ones and angrily let go of her hands.

As soon as they were released, one of the little ones flew directly onto Jerry's other shoulder. The last one saw there was no room left and flapped its wings to fly directly in front of Jerry. Jerry looked at this cute little one and hugged it directly.

The little one that was hugged finally became well-behaved, lying in Jerry's embrace and not coming out.

"The three of them, they really make me so angry."

Seeing the three of them staying obediently on Jerry, Biji said with a hint of jealousy.

"Biji, don't be angry. They might just like the scent on me more. I will be in the Star Dou Great Forest for this period of time, so let them follow me. Rest assured, they won't go hungry."

"Alright then, that's the only way."

Originally, he only wanted to find a few Emerald Swans with higher cultivation to draw some blood, but since Biji was here, wouldn't Biji's blood be even better?

After explaining the reason to Biji, Biji agreed to the blood draw. Previously, when she came to the Emerald Swans, she had seen the Bloodline Pill and knew its function. Since her blood could help more Emerald Swans, she was willing.

Jerry took a vial of Biji's blood and brought the three little ones back to the core area. When he left, the three little ones didn't even look at Biji once, which made Biji stomp her feet in anger on the spot.

Returning to the core area, Jerry controlled the speed at which he released energy. Once the three little ones saw they could absorb so much energy that didn't require conversion, they were all very happy.

"Why did you bring the three little ones back?" the Fairy Queen said, looking at the three little Emerald Swans beside Jerry.

"I checked; the three of them are the reincarnations of former Emerald Swan gods, so I brought them with me so they can cultivate faster."

"You discovered three reincarnated gods so quickly."

"Yes, they must have sensed the aura of a large number of Emerald Swans, and then, while the eggs had not yet hatched, they performed possession, so the compatibility between their Divine Soul and the body is very high."

"I really envy these oviparous Soul Beasts, being able to perform possession before these eggs have developed consciousness."

"Why? Is there a saying about this?"

"Of course. Before a soul is born and the eggshell is broken, they are not tagged by the world. Viviparous ones are different; they are tagged by the world the moment they are born. If they perform possession at that time and are discovered by the world, Heavenly Punishment will be directly descended."

"No wonder. I was puzzled before why the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon didn't possess a newborn fox, but was willing to possess a martial soul instead."

"Because among all possessions, possessing a martial soul is the best. The martial soul is recognized by the world, but the martial soul has no consciousness of its own, and it is bound to the Spirit Master, making cultivation faster."

"Aren't you afraid the Spirit Master will die halfway through when possessing a martial soul?"

"Compared to Soul Beasts, young Spirit Masters are safer. Soul Beasts take too long to cultivate, and in the past, Soul Beasts could not cultivate into gods. Spirit Masters are different; their lifespans are not long, and if they encounter one with good talent, they can cultivate to Title Douluo in just a hundred years. If they are lucky and cultivate into a god, they can be directly resurrected. Both Soul Beasts and Spirit Masters will experience death halfway through, and at that time, they can just change to another place. So by comparison, Spirit Masters are better."

"That's true, but now everyone can cultivate into gods. These three little ones performed possession only after the World Advancement. It seems the path of possessing Soul Beasts has opened up again."

"Yes, I don't know how many gods are going to awaken. Sigh!"

"Isn't awakening a good thing? Why are you sighing?"

"It's fine if those peace-loving gods awaken, but if those warlike gods awaken, it won't be a good thing. They might even unite with the God Realm when the time comes."

"What is there to fear? Soldiers come, generals block; water comes, earth covers. The reason they can still awaken is because their physical bodies died but their Divine Souls did not perish. If I encounter gods who cause trouble in the future, I will directly destroy their Divine Souls."

After Jerry finished this sentence, the World Consciousness suddenly contacted Jerry.

The World Consciousness told Jerry that he must do as he said.

Because no one in this world has comprehended the Death Rule, and no one has inherited the God Position.

As a result, the Rules are incomplete, and many gods or people have found ways to be resurrected. For the world, the resurrection of the dead is something that violates the World Rule.

The World Consciousness indicated that it would be good if Jerry could comprehend the Death Rule, as that would complete the World Rule.

Jerry thought about it; the Death Rule of this world is indeed imperfect. In the original work, after Xiao Wu sacrificed herself, an Immortal Herb preserved her physical body, eventually allowing her to be resurrected.

After the Blue Silver Emperor sacrificed herself, she left behind a seed and could also be resurrected.

Tang San was killed once at the beginning, and the Spirit Fusion Skill of Oscar and Ning Rongrong resurrected him again.

And later, Tang San even wanted to resurrect Xiao Wu's mother.

It really is making a joke of death: I died, and I lived again; sigh, I died again; sigh, I lived again.
