Su Yu laughs when he hears the Lion Beast say this, but his eyes are icy cold.

"I wasn't injured because I am sharp. If I throw you into the maze, you can try and see if you can walk out."

"I did encounter the deity of the ancient tree, and it wasn't as fierce as you thought. However, listening to its wording, the ancient tree deity seems not to have awakened for several thousand years, and the history of the Sudden Soul Lamp is also roughly several thousand years."

"Connecting them together, I roughly understand what you mean. That maze has probably never been entered by anyone, not even you, not even the previous master."

Su Yu "090" squints his eyes, watching the Lion Beast's expression. He feels that he might have guessed everything correctly.

"So you were terrified that someone's intrusion would anger the deity inside. You wanted to find a scapegoat, and you also wanted to find a lead to test the deity's attitude, because you are afraid of death."

As Su Yu speaks, he sees the Lion Beast's expression becoming increasingly horrified.

The Lion Beast could never have imagined that Su Yu could guess the ins and outs of the event based only on the current clues.

But after Su Yu guessed these things one by one, the Lion Beast does not seem so shocked anymore. It vaguely feels that Su Yu just has this ability.

The Lion Beast says: "You are too sharp. Everything you guessed is correct... Perhaps I shouldn't have hidden it from you from the start, because even if I had told you the truth, you would still have gone in to detoxify. In that case, you wouldn't have trusted me anyway."

Su Yu frowns imperceptibly as he listens to the second half of its words: "Trust you? Naturally, I wouldn't trust you. I just want to know how I can learn the ability to resurrect."

The Lion Beast looks at Su Yu, sizes him up from head to toe, and then says: "It seems your poison is fully cleared... I didn't deceive you back then. Becoming the master of the Sudden Soul Lamp indeed allows one to learn the ability to resurrect."

Su Yu says somewhat impatiently: "Just tell me the method directly."

"Oh," the Lion Beast says, "Actually, not everyone who dies is qualified to be resurrected. As the guardian beast of the Sudden Soul Lamp, I have been here for at least several hundred years. I can tell that some souls who did many evil deeds during their lifetime have extremely dirty souls after entering the Sudden Soul Lamp."

"And some people's souls are clean at a glance... but this is very rare; most of the time, it can only be seen in some children who died young."

Hearing this, Su Yu is rarely curious: "Then what about me?"

The Lion Beast recalls for a moment and then says: "Your soul can be seen as having done no evil, but you haven't done many good deeds either, so your soul is just the ordinary kind. If you want to be resurrected, you still have to meet the conditions of time, place, and people."

Su Yu thinks of something upon hearing this: "But before this, I had already been resurrected once. There were no conditions of time, place, and people, and my soul didn't come to the Sudden Soul Lamp... What is the reason for this?"

"There's such a thing?" The Lion Beast has an expression of having lived long enough to see everything, "Uh... places outside the Sudden Soul Lamp are not under my jurisdiction, and I don't know why. Maybe it's because you just happened to meet the conditions for resurrection."

"Fine, let's not talk about this. Hurry up and tell me the method of resurrecting people," Su Yu says.

The Lion Beast says: "Didn't I tell you? To resurrect people, you have to resurrect the kind of good people who haven't done evil. Those extremely vicious souls, even if they come into the Sudden Soul Lamp, will be devoured by the evil spirits inside..."

Su Yu thinks of the giant python. He wonders why this person is not considered a bad person, and why he could avoid being devoured by the so-called evil spirits.

But he doesn't ask, because the Lion Beast is not giving him the answer he wants at this moment: "You know, the answer I want is not this. Tell me the method of resurrection, otherwise I will throw you in. Anyway, the deity has already been awakened by me; you can go and experience what it feels like after it gets angry."

The Lion Beast actually thinks about that scene for a moment, then shivers and says angrily: "You dare?!"

Su Yu says: "That sentence of yours is really funny. I am the master here; you guess if I dare?"

"The previous master and the one before that both treated me with respect. I am the guardian beast here, after all. Don't think you are so great just because you became the master," the Lion Beast is easily angered by Su Yu's two sentences. It says, "I have never resurrected anyone, so how would I know?"

Su Yu's expression sinks instantly: "You haven't resurrected anyone, yet you told me you knew the method of resurrection before I entered the maze. You are lying, aren't you?"

The Lion Beast looks extremely angry: "When have I ever lied to you? You have to find the resurrection method yourself. What kind of thing would it be if I told you?"

Su Yu sneers and takes out a Magic Card, placing it in front of the Lion Beast.

The Lion Beast looks at it, and its expression changes abruptly.

That is a top-tier Magic Card, which means Su Yu has the full strength to defeat this guardian beast, and it can even be considered easy to subdue the enemy.
