Chapter 14: Yi Lao, Who Is About to Fall into Slumber
"By the way, Yi Lao."
Xiadie turned her head to look at Yilaikesi behind her.
"Is the Life Blade on the Spirit-Eating Engraving Knife enough for you to repair your soul?"
"I can't say completely, but it can repair a portion!" Yilaikesi thought for a moment and said, "My current soul fragments are very weak to begin with; there's no helping that."
"That's true!" Xiadie sighed.
If it were before she had transmigrated to Wengfaluosi, when Xiadie was still an ordinary person.
Xiadie might have been curious as to why Life Gold, which is full of Life Breath, could repair a soul, something that clearly carries death-related content, but after she became Xiadie of Wengfaluosi, she was no longer curious about this aspect.
The so-called soul can only be said to be alive even if the physical body dies; the function of Life Gold can repair a soul that has not yet died, or a physical body on the verge of death like Huo Yuhao's.
True death is when the body, the soul, and even the memories of others no longer contain this person; this is what truly heading toward death is.
In the original game "Ruwoshushu," as long as a Golden Descendant still exists in the memories of others, they can be revived; it is merely a matter of time.
Even though she was once a Death Demigod and could cause others to die, what she truly achieved was merely erasing their physical body and soul; she still could not do anything regarding memories.
Just like when she touched to death... *cough cough*, silenced Laigushi.
Her authority was almost useless against Laigushi.
In the end, relying on the accumulation of over thirty million lifetimes similar to Bai E, she barely fought Laigushi for a few hundred years before running away in a sorry state, then used Boluokesi to block the door.
Come to think of it, as a Golden Descendant, she was still quite incompetent!
Other Golden Descendants would fight to the death when the Pioneers were locked up.
But she had her own little schemes.
By utilizing the moment before the birth of the Iron Curtain when reality and illusion were about to merge and the barrier between them was blurred, she connected to reality to become an Emanator of Equilibrium.
Perhaps at that time, Laigushi was also surprised!
After all, unlike Bai E, who had countless seeds of inheritance.
She used her relationship with Polyukes and Polyuxia, and besides copying a portion of memories and information to throw to the system for Laigushi to complete his thesis, the entire thirty million-plus lifetimes still existed.
Relying on the Death Authority, the cycle of every death for her and her sister would not clear their memories.
They could even accumulate a portion of the power from the previous life.
"However..." Xiadie's train of thought paused.
"The moment I became an Emanator of Equilibrium, even if Laigushi's authority was restricted, he might have been able to stop me if he wanted to."
"But he never took action from beginning to end; of course, it's also possible he couldn't."
Xiadie nodded and stopped thinking about it.
No matter how much she thought about it, it was meaningless.
That number one person in the universe, one-ninth of his slice, had already fallen.
Being able to be an opponent to such an existence could be considered her own honor.
"Yi Lao." Xiadie pulled her thoughts back, "How long will you need to use this Spirit-Eating Engraving Knife? I intend to use it to simulate my former weapon."
"Hmm..."
Hearing Xiadie's words, Yilaikesi fell into deep thought.
"Two days. I will extract the parts I need, and the remaining portion will stay on the engraving knife; there should still be quite a bit left."
"That's fine." Xiadie nodded.
"Come to think of it." Yilaikesi seemed to have thought of something, "In the medicinal pills from that Medical Immortal Douluo, I sensed ripples of life and death coexisting. What is going on with that?"
Yilaikesi remembered what Xiadie said, that she could not yet convert death energy into life.
Unlike him, Yilaikesi, who could directly switch between death and holiness.
"That?" Xiadie shook her head, "I can't do that."
"The soul power I can currently mobilize cannot perform the conversion of life and death."
"But by using the Life Element within the Life Gold, I am very familiar with balancing the relationship between the two."
"You mean..."
"It was just an ordinary healing pill; I bought it at a pharmacy in Xingluo Cheng a few days ago to study pharmacology."
"I have lived for so long, after all; I can judge the bottleneck of Wang Xian'er's Life System abilities."
"So I simply used the Life Element of the Life Gold to balance it with my own Death Attribute and attached it to the pill before giving it to her."
"At most, it is balancing things that already exist, rather than me being able to convert my own power like that."
"This is also why I wanted the Spirit-Eating Engraving Knife from Yi Lao."
"To mask the soul power of the Death Attribute?" Yilaikesi asked tentatively.
"Something like that." Xiadie nodded.
Just like in "Legend of the Dragon King," when the Life God King and the Destruction God King were played by Tang San, the crystals left after their fall fused together, and then gave birth to that Moguidao where the Seven Monsters lived.
Xiadie could not convert life and death elements, but making the two balanced and stable was not a difficult task.
"That pill's purpose isn't just as simple as breaking through, is it?" Yilaikesi asked curiously.
Upon hearing this, Xiadie smiled slightly: "To establish the image of a teacher who is as lofty as a mountain."
"I can also refine medicine; using Yi Lao to hold up the banner in advance will make things more convenient in the future."
"And incidentally, see if I can make a connection with the continent's number one Healing Spirit Master."
"You really are cunning." Yilaikesi shook his head.
"At most, it's an information gap." Xiadie said with a smile, "Regardless, everything is under control."
"Yi Lao, you've worked hard during this time. Even though your soul is very weak, I've still made you do so many things." Xiadie bowed deeply.
"You are too polite, little friend." Yilaikesi waved his hand, "The Life Gold on the engraving knife is enough for me to make up for all my soul losses, and letting my soul recover to be more complete is just a matter of time."
"Besides, if it weren't for the replenishment of your powerful Spirit Power, little friend, I wouldn't have been able to deter those few Title Douluo as you said."
"I am perfectly clear about my current level."
"Regardless, thank you." Xiadie raised her head to look at Yilaikesi, "Yi Lao, I will help you recast your body and let you truly come back to life."
"I believe it will not take too long."
"Hahaha." Yilaikesi laughed, "I naturally trust in your character, little friend."
"However, compared to my situation, you should pay more attention to the matters at hand."
"I am about to fall into a deep sleep; you must be careful and cautious in the days to come."
Yilaikesi was different from Xiadie; he was a living being of this universe, and the laws of the universe did not suppress him strongly.
He could even borrow Xiadie's Spirit Power to intimidate enemies.
But Xiadie was an existence from another universe, and she was not entirely compatible with the laws existing in this universe.
Even if her Spirit and soul levels were powerful, the strength she could release was usually only the portion converted into soul power.
Of course, if some old immortal were to directly sneak into Xiadie's Spirit Sea, or launch a deep Spirit or soul attack against Xiadie.
That would be a different matter entirely.
Compared to the smooth sailing of Xiadie, the atmosphere in the Xingluo Huanggong appeared somewhat tense.
Three days had already passed since Xu Jiujiu left Xiadie's residence, and for these three days, the Xingluo Royal Family had not disturbed Xiadie.
At this moment, the Star Luo Emperor Xu Jiawei was worrying about another matter.
