In the palace, beside the bed where he had been sick for a long time, Nebula Douluo's already old face became even more haggard.
She had stopped crying long ago, but there were still tears in her eyes, making her originally shrewd eyes cloudy, and her whole body exuded a deep sadness.
Xingyun Douluo has no children of his own. Although he is Princess Jiujiu's bodyguard, his feelings for her are definitely more than that. Having been with her inseparably for more than ten years, he has long regarded her as his own child.
At this moment, looking at the lifeless figure on the bed for a long time, this powerful Titled Douluo felt that his heart was being held and pressed hard.
Wang Xian'er sighed deeply. She had also watched him grow up for a long time, and the sadness in her heart was no less than that of Nebula Douluo.
Their attitude towards Xu Jiujiu was not that of the noble Xingluo Princess, nor were they worshiped by the noble enshrinement hall. This feeling is entirely due to the elders' love for a smart and pleasant junior.
Both titled Douluo are over a hundred years old. At such an age, one can imagine the sadness in their hearts when they experience a white-haired person sending a black-haired person away.
But as a medical immortal who is used to seeing life and death, Wang Xianer is still much more open-minded about life, separation and death than Nebula Douluo.
She sighed deeply and said: "Manyi, the dead cannot be resurrected. Wait until dawn and inform Your Majesty of the news. He has been neglecting food and drink for the sake of his long-term safety these days. He finally took a rest tonight. Anyway, , there is a result after all, and everyone is actually mentally prepared."
Xingyun Douluo's eyes were distracted, and then he nodded blankly. When Wang Xianer said that she was powerless for the first time, they had actually foreseen this outcome and made psychological preparations for this day to come.
It's just that Nebula Douluo didn't expect that Xu Jiujiu's vitality would disappear so quickly, several days earlier than Wang Xianer's most optimistic estimate, leaving almost no time for everyone to react.
In the face of foreseeable death, the long wait is the most painful suffering in the world.
The sadness in Wang Xianer's eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a coldness.
"I roughly heard what happened from Duke White Tiger. This poison came from the Holy Spirit Sect of the Sun and Moon Empire and was enshrined by a Titled Douluo who was good at using poisons."
Xingyun Douluo gritted his teeth and said, "It is extremely insidious to surround us during the second competition. To use such vicious means is really unconscionable."
At this point, she can only curse the Sun and Moon Empire here.
In the end, she caressed the pale skin for a long time, as if she wanted to say goodbye to her for the last time in this world.
Xu Jiujiu lost all signs of life just after nightfall. When daylight comes, he will inform His Majesty and prepare for the funeral.
At this moment, a figure that had just walked out of the room walked in again.
"Little friend Huo." Nebula Douluo said weakly.
She was obviously a powerful Titled Douluo, and she didn't do anything, but she felt very tired both physically and mentally.
Huo Yuhao asked softly: "Senior Xingyun, senior Medical Immortal, can you allow me and Jiujiu to be alone for a while?"
This request sounded extremely rude. Her Highness the Princess had just died, and an outsider actually wanted to be alone with her body.
Nebula Douluo naturally knew about the relationship between Xu Jiujiu and Huo Yuhao. She did not refuse, which was regarded as acquiescence, and then turned her attention to Wang Xianer.
Wang Xianer frowned slightly. From just now, she had been extremely confused about Huo Yuhao's sudden appearance.
She also knew Huo Yuhao, the son of Duke White Tiger, but she didn't expect that Huo Yuhao was completely invisible to her now.
This is the palace of Her Royal Highness the Princess in the Imperial City. It is an emergency period now, and the outside is full of guards.
But Huo Yuhao still broke into this place as if he was in a deserted place.
Wang Xianer did not suspect that Huo Yuhao had any evil intentions. From the moment he took out the Acacia Heartbroken Grass, she knew that this young man would not have any evil intentions.
But it's a pity that the Acacia heartbroken grass, which is said to give life to human flesh and bones, can't really bring people back to life.
"Senior Medical Immortal, can you please allow me and Jiujiu to be alone for a while?"
Huo Yuhao looked at Medical Immortal Douluo with sincere eyes and asked again.
Wang Xianer sighed softly. She wanted to refuse, but she couldn't bear to refuse Huo Yuhao's simple request, so she finally relented.
She said softly: "I have heard Jiujiu talk about you several times before. It's really hard for you to get such precious fairy grass from the Ice and Fire Eyes for Jiujiu. Finally, let's say a few words to Jiujiu."
After saying that, Wang Xianer winked at Xingyun Douluo. The two of them finally looked at Xu Jiujiu on the hospital bed and Huo Yuhao next to him, and walked slowly out of the room.
There were only two people left in the huge room, and the luxurious decoration added to the desolate silence.
Behind Huo Yuhao, the gray soul ring suddenly bloomed with light.
The color tone of the entire room seems to be only three colors: black, white and gray.
“You can still feel Jiujiu’s soul!”
Huo Yuhao was slightly startled. This was the best news known so far.
The illusory figure of Electrolux appeared, and the old voice solemnly said: "Yuhao, you have a relatively in-depth understanding of undead magic, but even so, I still want to remind you carefully."
"What you want to do is to truly resurrect this girl, rather than transform her into an undead creature. The difficulty is not at the same level."
"The latter, you could easily do it even five years ago, but the former, even I can't guarantee a 30% certainty."
Cold air emanated from Huo Yuhao's body, and the temperature in the room dropped suddenly, shrouding his fragile body for a long time.
He repeated resolutely and affirmatively: "Yilao, yes, what I want is to fully resurrect Jiujiu, not turn her into a lich."
Becoming an undead creature is like reincarnation, and the memories of the past may also be blown away by the wind as the soul transforms.
As a soul reborn from the dead, without the memory of its predecessor, can it still be considered the same person as the original creature?
"The good news now is that this girl's death was very recent and her soul was well preserved. Moreover, the life force used by the Medical Immortal Douluo was of great help. This girl definitely also took a variety of precious heavenly materials that provide life force. Earth treasure."
"If an ordinary person dies, I can't extend his life, but in this case, I am willing to give it a try."
Electrolux continues to add favorable conditions.
He said solemnly: "Find a safe place. The aura of death in the demiplane of the undead is too strong, and the cold air in the frozen plane is too strong. You cannot stay there for a long time. It can only be used as a transition."
"The next things must not be disturbed by outsiders, and we must move to a quiet place as soon as possible."
"good."
Huo Yuhao nodded and gently held Long Jiujiu's body in his arms.
This was his first hug for a long time.
The gray door of the undead opened in the room, and Huo Yuhao stepped into it resolutely.
Outside the room, Wang Xianer looked at the absent-minded Nebula Douluo and comforted her sadly: "Manyi..."
Just as she was about to say something, her expression suddenly changed and she rushed back into the room.
In the empty room, Huo Yuhao and Xu Jiujiu had completely disappeared. On the floor, there are still the crushed flowers and leaves of Acacia gallica.
Outside Xingluo City, there is a hilly area next to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.
In front of a tall tombstone.
Huo Yuhao gently held his body for a long time and stood in front of the exquisite stone tablet.
Xu Jiujiu's current weight is very light, perhaps even less than that of some ten-year-old children.
Here is the grave of Huo Yuhao's mother, Huo Yun'er.
A quiet place where no one will disturb you.
Xu Jiujiu in Huo Yuhao's arms had no signs of life at all, like an exquisite doll whose clockwork had run out.
Now, what Huo Yuhao has to do is to turn the clockwork of life again.
He gently played with Xu Jiujiu's fingers and gently put the White Tiger Dagger, a relic left to him by Huo Yun'er, into Xu Jiujiu's hand.
Huo Yuhao said calmly towards the tombstone: "You will support me, right?"
He asked the non-existent object, but naturally no one answered.
This was a token of love that Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger once sent to his mother Huo Yun'er, and now he gently handed it over to Xu Jiujiu.
It was late at night, and the sky was pitch black, but there was clearly a gray cloud floating gently above the hills, as if nodding in response to Huo Yuhao's question.
The skin that had been dry for a long time exuded a faint coolness, and it was still elastic and not stiff, indicating that she had not been dead for too long.
The faster the resurrection is carried out, the higher the success rate.
Huo Yuhao didn't have time to wait any longer. Everything was ready and he started right away.
A gray halo emerged behind him, Electrolux's illusory figure hung in front, and an ancient staff suddenly appeared in his hand.
Paragraphs of obscure magic spells came from the mouths of the master and the apprentice.
Tianmeng, Ice Emperor, and Snow Emperor did not stay in the spiritual sea, but stood not far away and watched all this silently.
The faces of the Ice and Snow Emperors were full of solemnity. Even Tianmeng, who had always been heartless, remained silent at this moment, watching the two of them seriously, silently cheering them on in his eyes.
What Electrolux and Huo Yuhao are doing is true resurrection, resurrecting people from the dead, not through the methods of undead creatures. They are necromancers, but not for a long time, which is unbearable.
This is a real change of destiny.
If they could discern the mystery, would death no longer be scary, and they could also have a glimpse of eternity and embrace endless life?
The Ice and Snow Emperors did not speak, carefully remembering everything that happened next.
The first thing Huo Yuhao and Electrolux have to do is to bring back their long-lost souls.
Huo Yuhao has done such a simple thing as summoning souls countless times, but now that he has to use it on Xu Jiujiu, his heart is extremely heavy.
He seems to be able to understand why doctors and doctors, no matter how skilled they are, try to avoid operating on their close relatives as much as possible.
Only by actually standing on the operating table and using a scalpel to cut the muscles and skin of a loved one can you realize how terrible the psychological pressure is.
At this moment, they realized that the life and death of their loved ones were completely in their own hands. The movements that had been practiced countless times on the operating table might make mistakes due to trembling in a single thought.
The same is true for Huo Yuhao now.
Life and death for a long time has been completely in his hands.
Necromancers work with death and undead creatures all day long, but now, Huo Yuhao wants to go against the purpose of the necromancer and bring real life to people.
The dim and illusory soul that had been there for a long time soon appeared on her thin body.
The appearance of her soul was not as thin as her body, but her image was a little erratic and her eyes were dull. The Five Poison Douluo is a worshiper of the Holy Spirit Sect, and he also has certain attainments on the soul. His poison can even affect the soul.
"Yuhao..."
Seeing Huo Yuhao, Xu Jiujiu's soul trembled slightly and he let out a slight call.
Huo Yuhao didn't respond to him, but he was relieved in his heart.
"Yuhao, the first step is considered successful. The next step is to let her soul return to the body."
Electrolux said solemnly.
The steps to resurrect Jiujiujiu are very simple. There are only two steps, summoning Jiujiu's soul, and then guiding her soul back to the body.
But it sounds simple, and even Electrolux is not sure about it.
The simpler the steps, the less detail there is to consider.
Whether you can succeed or not, everything depends on fate.
Huo Yuhao nodded and put the Qiluo Heart given by Youyou into the mouth of Xu Jiujiu's body. As the nemesis of hundreds of poisons, Qiluo's Heart quickly resolves many toxins in her body.
After a long time, the soul and the slow body reunited. The two powers, which had the same origin, gradually merged into one under the gray light.
For a long time in Huo Yuhao's arms, the fingers holding the White Tiger Dagger suddenly moved slightly.
"Success!"
A strong joy arose in Huo Yuhao's heart. He actually did it, completely resurrecting a dead person.
The long-lasting signs of life began to slowly recover. The first thing that started was the heartbeat. Although it only beat lightly at first, gradually, the speed became faster and faster.
Everything was moving in the right direction, and the muscles on Jiujiu's face began to vibrate slightly.
However, he was not happy for long. Just the next second, Long Jiujiu's fragile body trembled violently.
Behind her, six soul rings, two yellow, two purple, and two black, suddenly lit up without warning, and the merging soul and body suddenly stopped and then began to separate.
Huo Yuhao's expression changed.
Electrolux said seriously: "Yuhao, her physical condition is really bad. Her body cannot bear the strength of her soul now."
"The integration was smooth, but we all ignored that."
"What should we do?" Huo Yuhao asked hurriedly.
Electrolux spoke very quickly: "According to my research on your martial souls and soul rings when I came to this world, soul rings and souls both have the same word soul. Although they are two different powers, they have similarities."
"Her soul ring suddenly flashes, which is the embodiment of the power of the martial spirit in her soul."
"We must find a way to weaken her soul as soon as possible so that her current body can adapt to the strength of her soul."
"But you can't hurt her soul. You have to do it as soon as possible. You only have less than a minute, otherwise, all your efforts will be wasted!"
Huo Yuhao also asked quickly: "In other words, we need to use a container to temporarily absorb the power of Wuhun for a long time without harming her soul, right?"
"Yes, but now we lack such a gentle container. The Ten Thousand Soul Banner you have seen before has similar effects, but its evil aura is too strong. My undead demiplane's death aura is too strong and is equally harmful. Useless.”
Hearing Electrolux's answer, Huo Yuhao took a deep breath: "Yilao, I have a way."
"What is it?"
Huo Yuhao said categorically: "Is it okay to use my soul ring to take over?"
I have been able to meet a group of people who wrote those seven words...
But after much deliberation among the three resurrection methods, I still chose the one I originally decided on... because this is directly related to the method of solving the soul ring problem later...
