Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 896: Miracle of Resurrection

After Aiwas restored Mu's body to health and replenished the kitten's strength, he clapped his hands and turned back to look at the wreckage attentively.

Sine's body had lost its temperature by this time.

It was almost completely shattered from the abdomen up, leaving only a broken spine about a palm high. His robe was not completely torn, and the remaining strips of cloth were scattered to cover the bloody organs. They were soaked in blood and now turned dry and hard black after cooling.

There were traces of blood spurting out when the lower body fell to the ground. At this moment, the blood had dried up, and even if Aiwas stepped directly on it, it would not leave any footprints.

Aiwas looked at Master Chongbo and asked, "You or I?"

"You should come."

Master Chongbo was very humble: "My skills are needed to repair the damaged body, or simply rebuild a new body. I don't have that much time now... or do you need more time?"

“I haven’t actually tried it.”

Aiwass shook his head and said calmly in the face of everyone's suddenly horrified gazes: "This is the first time...but let me give it a try first."

"Go ahead and try," Chongbo was very calm and gentle. Not only was he not surprised by Aiwas's words, but he also comforted him, "If it doesn't work, I'm here. Resurrection is a miracle in itself, so it doesn't matter if you can't do it.

"After all, I am the one who brought everyone here. It doesn't matter if some people die in the process. As long as I can survive to the end, I will revive everyone."

Aiwass walked forward and stretched out his hand to feel the air above the corpse.

He was clearly aware that the soul was still inside the body.

"good."

Aiwass commented: "It's a light death."

"Easy, easy death..."

The corner of the Drifter's mouth twitched.

Aiwass simply explained: "Just like injuries can be classified into light, serious, and fatal, the mana consumed to heal injuries of different degrees is completely different... The same is true for resurrection."

“…Is…Is that so?”

"Indeed."

Aiwass nodded.

But what he is referring to here is not the "difficulty" but the "price of miracles."

Those corpses that are relatively intact, died not long ago, and do not have any incurable diseases such as amber or petrification, or have been cursed by liches or witches, can only be considered "easy deaths".

As for those who have been dead for several days... or the "sine" died with not a "string" left, but only a "yao" or even only a "丶", then the difficulty of resurrection is naturally higher. It can be roughly rated as "heavy death", and the cost of such a miracle is probably about the same as curing pure white amber disease.

If the body had already been burned, and the soul had sunk into the source river, but had not yet been shattered, or if the tree transformation and amber condensation had developed to the final stage, becoming a complete tree man or amber, and the soul was twisted or frozen... this level could be considered a "fatal death" that Aiwas felt was difficult.

It's not that it's impossible to resurrect, but it would cost too much.

Now that he knew more secrets about the Pillar God, Aiwas also understood better what Sizhu said at that time.

——If Aiwass is unable to fight against Huan Tiansi in the end and is instead devoured by Huan Tiansi, then Si Zhu can at least make him a pillar god so that he will not be devoured by Huan Tiansi.

Just like the Supreme Heaven and Great Master in the past, they could not merge because they each achieved the Pillar God. Because the Pillar God must be pure and cannot have any impurities.

If Aiwass could achieve Pillar God through the path of dedication, at least Huan Tiansi could not leave this world with the perfect posture of Saint Eleven. On the other hand, if he ate Aiwass and then left, he would probably be able to take the full power of at least two source rivers with him.

And if this is not the last cycle, Amber still has enough energy to restart the world again... Then when the world ends, Aiwass, who has the position of Pillar God, can at least keep his memory. In the last cycle, Aiwass also has a greater chance of fighting against Huan Tiansi.

From this perspective, Aiwas's "Sin Beast" conversion rate is not actually a guarantee of "come back to inherit the family business if it doesn't work" as Sizhu said. Instead, it can be regarded as a progress bar for his failure to fight against Huantiansi, so the payment of the "price" must be cautious.

But even so.

"If someone calls for help..."

I'm afraid I still can't remain indifferent.

Aiwass murmured softly and unbuttoned his shirt with one hand.

Cardinal Galatea had not seen Aiwas's transformation either, so she also stared at the scene closely.

Iwass's body was cracking like broken porcelain, and blood was oozing out from his glowing white skin.

The next moment, the antlers on Aiwas's head began to glow. Because of Zhutang's ritual, many runes were destroyed, so the light here was much dimmer. It was as cold and dim as a hospital corridor at dusk.

But at this moment, the dazzling and brilliant light burst out from the deer antlers!

Aiwass's cracked body grew, his flesh stretched, turned and deformed, and in the blink of an eye he became half man, half deer. The antlers on his head were taller than before, more than 20 centimeters long. The tips of both antlers were burning with a cluster of pure white flames.

Mysterious black totems appeared on his chest and abdomen, and the body below the waist turned into a powerful white deer. In the light purple crystal pupils, a cluster of golden red candlelight burned, reflecting the shape of the vertical pupil in the gem.

The pupils of a deer should be square. However, this is not a real "white deer", but a "sin beast".

Even the illusion on Aiwass's face collapsed - what people saw was no longer the young man who called himself "Pope", but the face of the real Pope Aiwass!

That sacred and inviolable great figure made everyone no longer doubt his words.

This is the mythical posture!
The nearly three-meter-tall demigod was shining brightly—even more so on the dim ground at this moment. The pure white light gathered into a ball, appearing like a lotus and reflecting on the earth. The antlers on his head were emitting a warm light.

Just by bathing in that light, people could feel their strength being restored.

At this moment, Aiwas no longer had the slightest desire to surpass himself.

The mysteries of the Ring Sky Division, the end of the world, and the Tower of Babel no longer interested him. The enhanced desire for devotion made his heart peaceful and pure. Looking at the tragic death of Zheng Xi, Aiwass could not help but silently lower his head and shed tears.

A tear gathered and fell from Aiwas's chin, flashing a pure white light.

When the tears fell to the ground, they caused silent ripples of light.

Pure white light echoed on the ground, and Sine's body suddenly turned into a ball of white light.

That posture was like a Pokémon about to evolve—pure white light gathered into a ball and then stretched and deformed. When the light dissipated, Sine returned to the posture of standing on the ground.

He still had his eyes closed, and there were still shocking scars on his body. But they disappeared at an extremely fast speed, as if time had gone backwards. There was not even a trace of blood left on his body, and it became extremely clean.

If the robe on his upper body had not been torn, people would probably have thought he had simply fallen asleep while standing.

The next moment, Sine opened his eyes.

“Uhhhhh…eh?”

He screamed subconsciously, which made people think for a moment that this resurrection was extremely painful - but then, Sine's scream stopped abruptly.

The reason why Zhengsong screamed was because his memory was still stuck at the moment before his death. His death was not instantaneous. Before his brain exploded, he had already been electrocuted by the magic reflected by the mirror demon. The high voltage electricity at that moment almost killed him, but compared to his fragile body, the full overflow of magic damage instantly detonated him before he fainted from the pain.

He felt the dark death that was approaching in an instant, and also felt the hazy, vague consciousness. But it was all like a vague dream that he could not remember. When his consciousness quickly became clear, he immediately connected to the memory before death.

But at the moment when Zhengsine screamed subconsciously, he already felt something was wrong - his body felt warm and comfortable, and he did not feel the sharp pain as if countless hot steel needles were piercing his bones. Therefore, Zhengsine felt a brief moment of confusion, and his brain went blank.

"…So this is how the resurrection mechanism works."

Aiwass sighed, "This is the first time I know... If I die in battle from exhaustion, I might even stab me in response after waking up. This is a valuable experience."

As expected, this "light death" resurrection came at almost no cost.

Aiwass' conversion rate didn't even increase, still at 7%.

Of course, it is also possible that this conversion rate does not show the decimal point... After all, his mana is indeed consumed. But it can only be said that even if Aiwass maintains this state for an hour or two longer, it may consume more power than resurrection.

It turns out that resurrection really doesn't take much energy...

"resurrection……?"

Sine made a hesitant and confused sound, and looked at Aiwass in front of him with some disbelief.

Oh, yes.

...He seemed to have said that one can be resurrected after death.

His muddled mind gradually became clear, just like a person who has fallen asleep gradually regaining the ability to think, and his brain system started up after completing its self-check.

Zhengsine seemed to be unable to believe what he saw, so he pushed his glasses up subconsciously, but accidentally stuck his overly long fingernails into his eyes, and couldn't help but let out another cry of pain.

But this real pain also made him truly feel his own existence. And the pain at that moment turned into numbness immediately after his nails left, and then recovered in less than two seconds.

——No, can it really be resurrected?!

I thought you were just being polite... turns out you really have the ability!
