Chapter 1271: Chapter 967: The Creator’s Joy
The most important reason for delaying action until now is that there are too few ways to earn Life Origin.
Besides occasionally getting some rewards from tasks, it can currently only be randomly obtained from the World Tree branch instance, with an uncertain amount.
Without a fixed source and a treasure that can save lives in critical times by consuming 200 points, for a hoarding player like Jiang Yuan, it is naturally like Han Xin counting troops — the more, the better.
Attempting to revive a Yu Hu warrior requires 200 points. Their race is extinct, and only the ten brave warriors captured by him remain. Naturally, reviving them as a group increases their chances of survival in this new world.
They must consume 2000 points to be reborn together. Without saving more, spending with a wave of the hand would be truly heart-wrenching.
After completing today’s task, Jiang Yuan’s Life Origin balance totals 3500 points, and spending more than half of the remaining is enough.
"What are the general’s orders? We shall spare no effort and live up to the expectations!"
Upon summoning, ten tall Yu Hu warriors appeared like phantoms, saluting in unison and asking in voices without emotional fluctuations.
"Today is uneventful. I summoned you to see the restored Mizhang Ridge." Looking at the warriors who had aided him many times and achieved great feats, Jiang Yuan was full of sentiments.
"In the past, you followed me to expel evil, to save the land where you grew and protected. Now, I have completely purified the Poisonous Miasma of Mizhang Ridge, and the forest now has flying birds and herds of deer; I have also found some corresponding world fragments to merge in, turning the entire Mizhang Ridge into a new, fertile world..."
Before he finished speaking, a beautiful little Red Thunder Deer leapt out from the woods.
It was obviously startled by the presence of people and retreated back into the bushes at once.
After blinking its large watery eyes to see the human clearly, it timidly stepped forward and bowed its head slightly in the deer’s greeting, saying in a sweet voice, "Mr. Jiang, greetings! Wishing you great longevity!"
"You know me?" Jiang Yuan asked with some surprise.
The other nodded vigorously and said earnestly, "Of course, all the Red Thunder Deer in Mizhang Ridge know sir.
When this land was polluted by evil, our ancestors buried the seeds of the race’s future deep into the Earth Vein, silently waiting for a chance of revival. Later, sir removed the filth, and all life buried in the Earth Vein sensed it!
As the land revived, our various races also broke through the soil, able to live in the mountains and forests again. The Clan Leader even said that thanks to sir passing on the ancestral teachings to the new generation of Red Thunder Deer, we now have a suitable Cultivation Technique.
You are the benefactor of the Red Thunder Deer clan, and indeed the benefactor of all creatures in Mizhang Ridge!"
So that’s how it is!
Jiang Yuan thought the immediate revival of the entire world after purification was due to the system’s power.
Now it seems that all life on this ancient land has wondrous methods, able to accumulate seeds of vitality and await rebirth when facing dire calamities.
"What a pity..." The little Red Thunder Deer looked timidly at the Yu Hu warriors, who lacked life aura, and said softly, "The Yu Hu clan fought to the death to resist the invading evil force in order to win time for other races to gain vitality. As a result, they all sacrificed, without planting seeds of vitality, and can no longer reappear on this land."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan’s anticipation of reviving the Yu Hu warriors intensified; he couldn’t wait to create miracles with his own hands!
"To fight for justice, death is no regret." The No. 1 Yu Hu warrior looked at the bright hue, and from the lifeless, hollow bird’s head, a muffled voice came out, "The general has kept his word to expel evil and restore Mizhang Ridge’s majestic green mountains, for which we are extremely grateful."
Jiang Yuan waved and said to the little Red Thunder Deer, "I dare not claim to be a benefactor. I’m just fulfilling the request of the former clan leader of the Red Thunder Deer and returning the Cultivation Technique intact. Now, beyond Mizhang Ridge, there are other races and cultivators, so you must cultivate well and protect yourselves."
The little deer hopped away with a parting salute, "Please rest assured, Mr. Jiang, I will go cultivate right away!"
"After Mizhang Ridge restored its former glory, other life also regained vitality. As the brave warriors who protected this land, you should not completely disappear from the world."
He turned around, looking sincere, and said, "Therefore, today I wish to attempt using some means to revive you so that you can live again on this fertile land. But the process might be somewhat complex, requiring your full cooperation."
Bai Yunqi and Qu Luming’s situation is special; they are soulless bodies, using Life Origin to reconstruct their souls;
The situation of the Yu Hu warriors is even more special; strictly speaking, they are already dead, leaving only the remains.
But due to the warriors’ overly strong willpower, even though dead and contaminated, a part of their residual souls remains with their bodies. Utilizing Life Origin, not only do they need their souls to be supplemented but their remains reconstructed.
Jiang Yuan only accidentally discovered that he could bestow and bind the Yu Hu warriors. As for what further operations might be needed, it depends on the system’s requirements.
"Revival?"
The meaning of these two words is significant, and the Yu Hu warriors, who maintain a slight amount of intelligence with their residual souls, are evidently astonished.
The thoroughly dead bodies can truly be brought back to life?
Their minds are not capable of supporting too many or too complex thoughts, but they all know that the art of resurrection requires the general to pay an enormous price!
"General, in the past, we followed you to eradicate the bizarre. Now that the great mission is accomplished, we are deeply grateful, life and death are fated for all things, and there’s no need to pay a price for us anymore."
