Chapter 552

"Let's go, let's head home and get things ready."

"Okay~"

Saying this, Little Ganyu led the four little ones toward the direction of the harbor-side home.

But as Little Ganyu walked, she suddenly turned back, gazing toward the direction where Jiang Yan had vanished, her eyes filled with concern.

The World Tree Space.

At this moment, the World Tree Space was not calm.

The Dendro Archon stood atop the World Tree, her hands continuously releasing divine power, as if stabilizing something.

At a spot not far from the World Tree, a Chuansong Sect suddenly opened.

Jiang Yan's figure appeared within the World Tree Space.

Upon seeing the Dendro Archon and the World Tree beneath her, Jiang Yan's expression changed instantly.

"What's going on?!"

Jiang Yan instantly appeared before the Dendro Archon and asked her with confusion.

"It's that little girl you created."

The Dendro Archon continued channeling divine power toward the World Tree, her voice laced with gritted teeth.

"Nasidha? What happened to her?"

Jiang Yan kept watching the condition of the World Tree below.

He suddenly realized that the divine power the Dendro Archon was releasing wasn't meant to stabilize the World Tree itself, but rather the tiny Nasidha wrapped within it.

At this moment, Nasidha seemed to be enduring great pain; her soul manifestation was extremely ethereal, as if about to vanish.

And the divine power the Dendro Archon was now releasing appeared to be sustaining Nasidha's soul.

"I don't know. This morning, I received a warning from the World Tree. When I came over, Nasidha was already like this."

The Dendro Archon's tone was clearly uneasy, but even she was confused about why Nasidha had suddenly become like this.

Jiang Yan's face bore a Solemn expression.

He raised his hand, activated the Soul Gem, and attempted to stabilize Nasidha's soul.

This method worked.

When the Soul Gem's power touched Nasidha's soul, it was like parched earth suddenly receiving rain—absorbing soul energy from the Soul Gem continuously.

Nasidha's soul had been born from the Soul Gem's energy, so she would not resist the Soul Gem's energy.

Seeing that Nasidha's soul energy had been stabilized, Jiang Yan spoke to the Dendro Archon beside him.

"I'll handle Nasidha. Go check the condition of the World Tree."

The situation was too suspicious; Jiang Yan felt something must be wrong with the World Tree to cause Nasidha's soul instability.

Logically, Nasidha's soul should be extremely robust right now—she was about to enter the Form-Becoming stage, so her soul strength shouldn't be this weak.

"Alright!"

The Dendro Archon nodded, then flew down to inspect the World Tree.

Arriving beside the World Tree, the Dendro Archon extended her hand and began establishing a connection with it.

Not long after, she withdrew her hand.

She looked at Jiang Yan with a complex expression.

She now understood why Nasidha had become like this.

But the reason her expression turned complex was not because of that.

After establishing the connection with the World Tree, the Dendro Archon had naturally glimpsed some events from this period.

Among them were the affairs between Lei Dianying, Lei Zhen, Fox Zhaigong, and Jiang Yan.

Had they succeeded already?

The Dendro Archon's heart suddenly stirred.

But now was clearly not the time to dwell on these matters—Nasidha's condition was the most critical.

The Dendro Archon suppressed the turmoil within her heart and flew to Jiang Yan's side.

"How is it? Did you find out why Nasidha suddenly became like this?"

Jiang Yan, seeing the Dendro Archon return from the World Tree, asked with a questioning tone.

The Dendro Archon said nothing, only gazing at Jiang Yan with a faintly complex expression.

The things she had just seen reappeared in the Dendro Archon's mind.

Though she had tried her utmost not to think of them, these events played like a looping film in her mind.

"What's wrong?"

Not receiving an answer to her question, Jiang Yan frowned slightly, looking at the Dendro Archon, who seemed lost in thought.

"Huh? No, nothing."

The Dendro Archon exhaled softly and spoke lightly.

Then she began explaining to Jiang Yan why Nasidha had become like this.

The main reason Nasidha had become like this was due to insufficient energy.

Since the soul energy had fully shaped Nasidha's form, she naturally began her Form-Becoming process.

This Form-Becoming occurred much earlier than Jiang Yan had estimated, so he hadn't realized Nasidha was currently in the Form-Becoming state.

Form-Becoming requires immense energy; without Jiang Yan constantly supplying energy beside her, Nasidha's own soul energy and the energy within the World Tree's branches were insufficient to complete the transformation.

Although the World Tree's energy was vast, the energy contained too many impurities.

This caused Nasidha's soul to strongly reject the energy from the World Tree.

Ultimately, the energy from the World Tree and the Soul Gem energy within Nasidha's soul erupted in conflict, beginning to battle within her body.

But Naxida, who had already begun her transformation, could not stop it.

She could only watch helplessly as her soul grew weaker and weaker, until she lost consciousness and fell into dormancy.

This is why Naxida suddenly became so weak.

"So that's how it was..."

Jiang Yan murmured.

Naxida's premature transformation had indeed caught him off guard.

But overall, it was a good thing.

Because now he had arrived, Naxida's current crisis could be said to be over.

As for energy transmission and the purity of soul energy,

for Naxida, who was desperately short of soul power, Jiang Yan's Soul Gem was the most suitable.

Now that he understood what Naxida urgently needed, Jiang Yan naturally had no more hesitation.

He then fully activated the Soul Gem on the back of his right hand.

The Soul Gem emitted a brilliant light.

A radiant beam of light instantly descended upon Naxida, enveloping her tiny body.

Jiang Yan closed his eyes, activated his Cosmic Perception, and began to sense her current condition with his heart.

With Jiang Yan using the Soul Gem to pour vast soul energy into Naxida,

the two energies within Naxida's body, which had previously been locked in stalemate, now surged like a divine boon—the Soul Gem's energy, with overwhelming force, crushed the World Tree's energy.

Then, with the aid of the Soul Gem, Naxida's soul energy rapidly solidified.

Jiang Yan stirred his spirit, and the Heart Gem on the back of his right hand suddenly glowed.

Crimson light interwove with the yellow glow of the Soul Gem, wrapping Naxida's small body in its radiance.

The Heart Gem's energy supported Naxida's body as it reformed, while the Soul Gem continuously supplied her soul with energy.

Under the combined effect of both energies, Naxida's small body gradually solidified.

Bathed in the energy, the once-dormant Naxida, whose body had been starved of power, slowly opened her eyes and awoke.

"Big brother?"

Naxida's soft, sweet voice reached Jiang Yan's ears.

"Naxida, how do you feel now?"

Jiang Yan asked, delighted to see Naxida awaken.

"Mmm... warm... very comfortable..."
