Chapter 369

"Just because Lucy wants to close the Eclipse Gate, you want to kill her?"

"This guy is full of evil magic power; whether what he says can be trusted is still a question!"

Not long after Erza finished speaking, Hearing Wendi, who was treating Gray, said:

"It's no good, the injuries are too severe, the Healing Magic is completely useless!"

Hearing Hearing Wendi's words, Happy and the two Lucys all had their expressions change.

"How can this be?"

Happy said with tears streaming down his face and a trembling voice.

And Lucy, her legs also went weak, and she collapsed onto the ground.

"Let me do it!"

Just as the two Lucys and Happy were falling into despair, Following Ye Yu spoke up.

"Brother Following Ye Yu?"

Hearing Following Ye Yu's words, Hearing Wendi immediately looked up at him.

And Happy, along with the two Lucys, also looked toward Following Ye Yu.

During the annihilation of the Oración Seis, Following Ye Yu had once used Healing Magic to treat Gray.

Therefore, Happy and Hearing Wendi both knew that Following Ye Yu could use Healing Magic.

Although Hearing Wendi trusted Following Ye Yu immensely, she still said with some sadness: "Gray has already... even with your Healing Magic, Brother Following Ye Yu, I'm afraid he cannot be brought back to life!"

Just as Hearing Wendi finished speaking, Gray's hands over there had already fallen to the ground.

Seeing this, Happy cried out loudly: "Gray!"

And Lucy also covered her mouth, tears streaming down uncontrollably.

Following Ye Yu's mind tightened; without any hesitation, he immediately activated Minerva's Territory magic attribute and Ultear's Arc of Time magic attribute.

In the original story, Ultear used the Arc of Time magic to turn back the time of the entire world by one minute.

Gray and the others, who had already died in battle, miraculously resurrected after time was turned back.

Clearly, Ultear's Arc of Time magic could bring those who had just died back to life.

However, the cost for this was also quite immense.

The originally young Ultear became incomparably aged after turning back time by one minute.

When Following Ye Yu acquired Ultear's Arc of Time magic attribute, he had been conceptualizing this.

If he used the Arc of Time magic and Minerva's Space magic, could he achieve resurrection while minimizing the cost infinitely?

Minerva's Space magic could create a small space; if he only turned back time by one minute within this small space, the cost would definitely not be as great as turning back time for the entire world.

Of course, this was just Following Ye Yu's hypothesis; whether it could succeed still required experimentation.

And right now, Following Ye Yu was using Gray to conduct this experiment.

Furthermore, in Following Ye Yu's view, this experiment must succeed and could not fail.

However, Gray had only just died, so the probability of being resurrected was very high.

The moment Following Ye Yu activated Minerva's Territory magic attribute, Gray's body was enveloped by a transparent spherical space.

"Following Ye Yu, what are you trying to do?"

Seeing Gray enveloped by the spherical space, Erza looked at Following Ye Yu and asked in a deep voice.

"I want to resurrect Gray!"

Resurrect?!

Hearing this, Erza, Mirajane, Hearing Wendi, Lucy, Happy, and Carla all looked at Following Ye Yu in astonishment.

"Resurrect? Following Ye Yu, you're joking, right? How could such a thing be possible?"

Erza asked in disbelief.

Although Mirajane, Hearing Wendi, and the others didn't speak, they were thinking the same thing in their hearts.

In their minds, although Following Ye Yu was very strong,

no matter how strong he was, he couldn't bring the dead back to life!

After all, bringing the dead back to life seemed impossible no matter how you looked at it.

Back then, Jellal spent over ten years creating the R-System just to resurrect Zeref.

But in the end, it all ended in failure.

Following Ye Yu did not answer the doubts in Erza and the others' hearts; after activating Minerva's Space magic attribute to enclose Gray in a small space, Following Ye Yu had already activated the Arc of Time magic attribute.

With the activation of the Arc of Time magic attribute, the time within that small space began to turn back.

One could see the wounds on Gray's body healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Soon, Gray, who had his eyes tightly shut, suddenly opened them.

"Gray?!"

Seeing Gray actually open his eyes, Happy, Lucy, and the others were first startled, then overjoyed.

"Resurrected?"

"He actually really resurrected!"

Seeing that Gray had truly been resurrected by Following Ye Yu, Erza and Mirajane were both filled with disbelief.

But soon, the disbelief on their faces vanished, replaced by a hint of a smile.

"You can actually even do something like this!"

"How exactly did you do it? Does resurrection magic really exist in this world?"

Erza and Mirajane asked, looking at Following Ye Yu.

Seeing Gray resurrected, Following Ye Yu first let out a sigh of relief, then dispelled the Space magic on Gray and said with a smile: "I just turned back Gray's time; I didn't use any resurrection magic!"

"Time turned back? What does that mean?"

Erza, Mirajane, and the others all looked at Following Ye Yu in confusion.

Following Ye Yu moved his palm, and the next second, a stone appeared on it.

Following Ye Yu moved his palm, and the stone shattered.

But when Following Ye Yu activated the Arc of Time magic attribute, the shattered rock fragments began to return along their original paths, eventually restoring themselves into the original stone.

"Just like this stone; when the stone's time is turned back, it restores from a crushed state back to its stone state!"

"Gray's time was turned back, so he restored from a dead state back to the state before he died!"

"However, this time reversal cannot originally be used directly on people; I just turned back the time of the space Gray was in!"

Hearing Following Ye Yu's explanation, Erza, Mirajane, Hearing Wendi, and the others were suddenly overjoyed.

"Brother Following Ye Yu, you're truly amazing, to actually think of this method to resurrect someone!"

"Bringing the dead back to life, this is simply defying the heavens!"

At this moment, Hearing Wendi, Lucy, and the others were completely immersed in joy and shock.

And Gray also realized he had been resurrected by Following Ye Yu: "Following Ye Yu, you saved me again!"

While everyone was rejoicing, Following Ye Yu cast his gaze onto the virtual screen.

Looking at the Arc of Time magic attribute and the Territory space magic attribute on the virtual screen, Following Ye Yu's fist tightened, and a fiery light flashed in his eyes.

Through the experiment on Gray just now, Following Ye Yu had confirmed that using these two magics simultaneously could achieve resurrection.

Because Gray had only just died, Following Ye Yu only needed to turn back the time of the space Gray was in by a dozen seconds for him to resurrect.

And the cost Following Ye Yu paid was roughly a dozen days of his lifespan.

Following Ye Yu could fully dragonize, and his lifespan was as long as Acnologia's and Eileen's.

The cost of a dozen days of lifespan was negligible to Following Ye Yu.

Of course, if he wanted to resurrect someone who had been dead for months or even years, the cost would definitely be quite immense; even if Following Ye Yu possessed a lifespan of hundreds or thousands of years, he would probably have to weigh it carefully.

However, being able to resurrect someone who had just died was already quite heaven-defying.

Besides being able to resurrect those who had just died, the combination of the Arc of Time and Space magic could also achieve severed limb regeneration, instant recovery of injuries and stamina, and many other things; its uses were infinite.
