Chapter 782: Full Member Revival

On the Path of the Dead.

Su Yu, seizing the moment the Lord of the Dead vanished, swiftly began to resurrect the multitude, thunderbolts erupting on all sides!

The forces of life and death were drawn out in vast quantities by Su Yu, draining so much that the very boundary between life and death trembled.

The second to revive was the Southern King!

The Southern King’s resurrection brought a thunderous calamity of unimaginable might—bolt after bolt of lightning struck, as if Su Yu’s entire realm would be shattered!

The Southern King endured!

From a charred state, he recovered.

Once restored, the Southern King, like Lanshan Marquis, had changed his attire, no longer the deathly figure he had been. Now, his face remained cold and distant, much the same as before, yet somehow even more aloof.

Strangely, he was even colder than in his deathly form.

The Southern King, his aura turbulent, also differed from others in dress—not lavish or intricate, simply a long black silk gown with little adornment...

The Southern King seemed not to be of the human race.

But as for what race he truly was, Su Yu had not known before, nor had the Southern King ever mentioned it.

Now, however, Su Yu had a faint inkling.

The Southern King was indeed not human, nor of the divine, demonic, or immortal races. After a brief sensing, Su Yu suspected he might be from a vanished ancient humanoid tribe, one of the long-extinct races.

Either a soul tribe or the celestial human race that had perished in the primordial era.

These great clans, which had once dominated the primordial and ancient ages, had long since faded into the dust of history. No wonder the Southern King never spoke of his race—not from forgetfulness, but because it had already vanished.

The Southern King also chose a Great Path, which stretched upward directly, and in an instant, he felt like a Celestial Venerable!

It seemed that in life, he had already mastered this path and reached the realm of a Celestial Venerable.

The Southern King had been a Heavenly King long ago!

He might have been a Heavenly King before death, or even a Celestial Venerable, or perhaps... in that era, there were no Celestial Venerables, and he was a Rule Lord. Of course, Su Yu had never heard of a Rule Lord being resurrected, so the truth was likely known only to the Southern King himself.

Now, the Southern King

had merged with a Great Path, not chosen by Su Yu, but selected by the Southern King himself.

It was a relatively rare path—the Path of the Whip.

Did the Southern King have such a hobby?

Did he use a whip?

That couldn’t be right!

In his previous appearances, the Southern King had never used a whip.

Well, Su Yu had no time to dwell on it.

At this moment, he was reviving the next person. He dared not delay too long, lest the Lord of the Dead awaken again—he had no second Dragonblood Marquis to use.

The third, Su Yu finally got to Hetu.

Hetu was thrilled—finally, it was his turn.

But this time, Hetu’s resurrection proved more difficult than the others. Not because revival itself was hard, nor due to a lack of life force, but because of the lightning. Lanshan and the Southern King had seemed to withstand it with relative ease.

The lightning that struck Hetu was also powerful; after merging with the source, Hetu was only at the level of a second-class Dao-Integrator.

Yet this lightning had vaguely reached the level of a Heavenly King.

The lightning that had struck Lanshan and the Southern King was also strong, but there seemed to be a limit—it did not exceed the Celestial Venerable level—so both had endured.

As for Hetu, his revival was faster, his physical body intact, and Su Yu had not consumed much life force.

But the lightning nearly struck him dead!

Hetu ultimately held on.

However, he was covered in wounds, far from the graceful recovery of the Southern King and the others.

Even after recovery, Hetu was charred black all over, and it would take time to fade.

Then Su Yu shouted, “Those who wish to be resurrected, think carefully! This lightning is beyond my control—it is the final trial before true revival. The lightning grants some life force. If we block it for you, we can, but then you may face insufficient life force, fail to revive, and have your source stripped from the Path of the Dead... In that case, only death awaits!”

His judgment was sharp: the lightning actually bestowed a special life force for the dead to revive. Blocking it might directly cause failure—it was best to face it themselves.

The dead who had merged with the source did not withdraw.

At this point, having seen hope, to back out would be sheer folly.

Even if death came, they would try once.

In total, about thirty dead had merged with the source. Those who hadn’t had no chance now; Su Yu could not let anyone else merge, or the Lord of the Dead would surely reappear.

Earlier, Dragonblood Marquis had barely filled that gap. Now, unless a Dead Emperor was used to fill it, no one could patch that hole!

...

Resurrection, unending resurrection.

Su Yu drew life force from his own Great Path and from the depths of the Path of the Dead. These powerful beings consumed vast amounts during revival.

By the time he reached that Fire God clan member, Su Yu had nearly drained all the life force from his own path, even from the source itself!

That Heavenly Fire was immensely powerful, and the consumption was so great that Su Yu almost failed in reviving it.

Heavenly Fire clearly sensed this; after revival, it obediently merged into the Fire Path, saying nothing.

Su Yu had only one Fire Path.

Originally, it should have been merged by Firecloud Marquis or a Fire Spirit clan member, but Firecloud Marquis was a Heavenly King and did not merge into the path. As for the Fire Spirit clan, Su Yu was somewhat surprised, because the Five Elements clan had all chosen to merge into the unified Five Elements Path.

The same choice as Floating Earth Spirit!

According to them, their race had little hope of becoming a Rule Lord, but by merging together into one path and strengthening it, they could let Floating Earth Spirit step into that realm first!

Just like the human flesh path—when Floating Earth Spirit expanded the Five Elements Path, even if they could not become Rule Lords, they could be like the ancient flesh-path Human King. Clearly, the Five Elements clan wanted to turn the Five Elements Path into the flesh path of the River of Time.

This was indeed a path!

It had to be said, this decision was quite wise. They might lack the insights of a Rule Lord, but by strengthening a path together, they could advance faster than others.

The Five Elements clan all merged into the Five Elements Path, making it stronger than other paths in Su Yu’s realm. Floating Earth Spirit was likely to become a pseudo-path Heavenly King soon.

Of the thirty-two dead experts, six were struck dead by lightning.

Su Yu had tried to have someone block it, but after a while, that dead being collapsed on its own. The lightning, while striking them, also provided the opportunity for revival.

Once the lightning was gone, without full revival, it would cause collapse.

Six dead had perished, and Su Yu was not too concerned.

Three of them he did not know well—clearly, they were dead from other regions who had come later. Of the remaining three, two were Dao-Integrators under the Southern King, and one was a dead who had defected from the Dead River later.

Su Yu was not very familiar with any of them.

He was not so hypocritical; since he barely knew them, let them die.

If they could not withstand the lightning, Su Yu could do nothing.

These dead spirits were revived.

Soon, Su Yu looked at Xingyue, who was still fusing with the origin.

At this moment, Xingyue's aura finally showed a breakthrough.

She swiftly stepped into Harmony!

Almost in the blink of an eye, from fourth-rank Harmony, she became third-rank, then second-rank, followed by the aura of a Heavenly King, and then faintly reaching the aura of a Heavenly Venerate.

After reaching the Heavenly Venerate level, Su Yu actually sensed that Xingyue had not yet reached her limit; she could still improve, but the rules of the myriad realms still took effect.

Xingyue might have been a Ruler of Rules in her past life!

But having died once, now being reborn, she was still affected by the seal laid down by the Human Emperor, which restricted her.

Otherwise, at this moment, Xingyue might already possess the realm of a Ruler of Rules.

Although she was only a Heavenly Venerate, Xingyue's aura was still rising. At this time, black and white intermingled, and the power of life and death cycled. Su Yu observed carefully for a while and already understood how she should be revived!

After a moment, two great paths were drawn from the Ink Path.

One of life and one of death, also interwoven with life and death.

Su Yu looked at Xingyue, and Xingyue opened her eyes to look at Su Yu, her gaze somewhat complex. Suddenly she spoke: "You... are you sure you want to revive me?"

At this moment, only Su Yu and Xingyue existed within the Dead Spirit Path.

Su Yu smiled: "We've come this far, of course I want to revive you!"

Xingyue looked at him, and after a long while said: "In the Dead Spirit Realm, I maintained the nature of a dead spirit for over a hundred thousand years. I have always been a dead spirit, not a living being! I have no sorrow, no joy, only tranquility."

She had always been in this state; due to her strength, she had not recovered her true heart before.

The nature of a dead spirit is coldness, slaughter, and rage.

Only these!

Upon reaching Harmony, most dead spirits stabilize their true heart and restore their true self, which is also related to the recovery of memories, but Xingyue had recovered very few memories.

Su Yu nodded slightly.

Xingyue continued: "It was you who made me feel anger and irritation; you have always been bullying me..."

Su Yu chuckled: "You jest, my lady. I am not that kind of person. How have I bullied you?"

Xingyue ignored him and went on: "So, at this moment, I actually want to be revived. I want to become human again and experience different feelings, different sensations..."

Su Yu nodded slightly: "That is only right!"

"Su Yu!"

Xingyue looked at Su Yu, said gloomily: "So, after I am revived, you will be a stranger to me, right?"

Su Yu thought for a moment, then nodded: "That's fine!"

Xingyue stared at him, seeing Su Yu's calm and unruffled demeanor, and finally nodded: "Then... let the revival begin!"

Su Yu said no more. The two great paths of life and death extended toward Xingyue.

One path stretched toward the gap in the River of Time, the other connected to the Dead Spirit Path.

Then, Su Yu took out a pill and tossed it to Xingyue: "This is the Longevity Pill. Take it! You might have been a Ruler of Rules in your past life, but you are half life and half death, and you have been passing through the years. Now you have only restored the power of a Heavenly Venerate, and you might die of old age after recovery!"

Xingyue did not know the exact effect of the Longevity Pill, but she quickly took it.

"Devour the power of the Path of Life and Death!"

Su Yu said, then continued: "After devouring, you will still be half life and half death—the balance of life and death remains unbroken!"

With that, his Heavenly Gate appeared, and he looked at Xingyue: "After you devour the Path of Life and Death, use the Death Path to attack my Heavenly Gate, turning death qi into life qi!"

Xingyue looked at him: "Attack you?"

"Yes!"

Xingyue fell silent.

Su Yu frowned: "This is the only way to revive. With your current strength, which even faintly surpasses mine, even if you take the Longevity Pill, the life force on my side cannot satisfy your revival!"

Not giving Xingyue a chance to speak, Su Yu said solemnly: "Also, after you are revived, quickly enter the River of Time and master the power of the paths you once controlled. This world no longer supports anyone becoming a Ruler of Rules afterward; you can likely only maintain the state of a Heavenly Venerate!"

Xingyue nodded slightly.

"Forget it, the more I say, the more your memories might wash away these words when they recover. No more talk—let's begin!"

Xingyue silently began to devour the Path of Life and Death.

Her aura grew stronger and stronger, yet it could never break through that boundary.

Su Yu was not too concerned. It was useless now, but once the seal was broken and the Ruler of Rules was no longer a restriction, Xingyue would soon take another step on the path of the Ruler of Rules.

The benefits would come sooner or later.

As the power of life and death was devoured, in the blink of an eye, Xingyue's aura grew so strong that it surpassed Su Yu's!

Rumble!

At that moment, the Dead Spirit Path trembled again, and at the connection point, the Path of Time also trembled.

Two forces surged in!

Su Yu observed silently. It was not enough. He shouted: "Swallow the Longevity Pill!"

Xingyue quickly swallowed the Longevity Pill.

Her life force grew slightly stronger, but the Longevity Pill was not a one-time pill; it worked over the long term. The temporary burst of life force was still insufficient.

Su Yu's Heavenly Gate appeared, and he shouted: "Convert life and death! Attack me with all your death force!"

Xingyue looked at Su Yu. Su Yu's expression changed, and he shouted: "Hurry! I have spent such a great price—this is not the time for hesitation. Move!"

Xingyue grew somewhat angry: "You..."

Su Yu was always so domineering!

Depressed in her heart, she quickly converted the power of life and death. A vast amount of death qi spilled out. The next moment, a powerful death force struck the Heavenly Gate. The Heavenly Gate trembled, and a surge of life force erupted, instantly covering the death qi and converting it into life qi.

But Su Yu frowned and shouted again: "Did you not eat? Useless! I said all the death force, not just a small part. Hurry up! If you delay any longer, do you want the Lord of the Dead to revive again, or even some existence in the Path of Time to awaken?"

Xingyue was furious: "Can you stop ordering me around all the time?"

Su Yu glared: "Shut up! Do as I say!"

Why so much nonsense?

Xingyue was furious and helpless, but she dared not delay any longer. She only thought that if she unleashed everything, Su Yu might be severely injured.

Fine, better to kill this bastard!

The next moment, a formidable death force erupted from her body. Xingyue let out a low shout and struck the Heavenly Gate with all her death force in a single palm strike!

Above the Heavenly Gate, some will even faintly emerged—the will of the Heavenly Gate itself.

Was the Lord of the Dead trying to break the Heavenly Gate with a combined internal and external attack?

Perhaps that was the Heavenly Gate's thought.

The next moment, an extremely dense life force reversed the death qi. As soon as Xingyue's death qi appeared, it was swiftly reversed into life qi. For a dead spirit, this was a grievous wound!

Translate into English:

But for Xingyue, the deathly aura was swiftly reversed; half of it, which had been deathly, rapidly transformed into life force.

The vitality within her suddenly seized absolute dominance!

At that moment, from the mouth of the River of Time, a force of a Great Path spread forth, as if to welcome its master—the Path she once commanded seemed to sense her revival!

And Su Yu, caught in that fierce surge of life and death, was sent flying back thousands of meters, coughing up blood. He frowned slightly, gazing at the boundary where life and death met.

Over there, Xingyue’s body erupted with life force!

At the gap carved by the Lord of the Dead, a peculiar wave of power now spread forth. Su Yu wasn’t sure what specific Great Path it was, but it must have been the one Xingyue commanded in life.

Now, Xingyue’s aura shifted several times. In her black-and-white form, the white power suddenly overwhelmed the black.

From all directions, streams of Great Path power, tinged with aggression, surged toward her!

The power of the River of the Dead also struck at her!

As if to prevent her rebirth!

But just then, the Star Universe Seal, which Su Yu had earlier given to Xingyue, suddenly erupted with a mighty force, suppressing the surrounding offensive Path powers.

Su Yu glanced over and smiled.

It seemed he didn’t need to do anything more. The Human Emperor might have arranged it all long ago—all that was needed was a different interplay of life and death to stir Xingyue’s revival, letting life force overcome death.

Over at Xingyue’s side, her memories seemed to be awakening; pain flickered across her face.

She let out a few low groans, her aura growing stronger.

Yet she remained within a certain boundary.

From the River of Time, a powerful pull seemed to beckon her return. Her own Great Path force also tugged at her, as if trying to drag her back from her deathly state!

Seeing this, Su Yu shouted, “Go back!”

Xingyue’s eyes snapped open, meeting Su Yu’s. Life force now outweighed death within them.

At that moment, from the opening behind her, waves of strong attraction emanated. Xingyue looked at Su Yu, her gaze different from before, as if memories were flooding back. She struggled, life force spilling out, and spoke haltingly: “My… memories… are being… assaulted…”

Su Yu nodded.

“I… I’m afraid… I’ll forget you…”

Su Yu smiled. “Good!”

Xingyue looked at him, a faint trace of anger flickering in her eyes. “Don’t you… have… any regret at all?”

Su Yu chuckled. “Stop adding drama. Hurry up, will you?”

Xingyue felt a pang of loss and sighed. “Then… I’m leaving!”

She looked at Su Yu, her expression complex. “If I fully recover… I’m afraid… I’ll have to go upstream!”

Su Yu frowned slightly.

Xingyue’s face grew complicated. Now, a violent surge of memories assailed her again. She knew she couldn’t hold on much longer and spoke quickly: “My… my brother, upstream… is in danger! He… seems injured! I… I must go… I command the power of healing, skilled in the Path of Life. Here, I can only remain at the Celestial Venerate level. Upstream, I can restore myself to a Rule Lord!”

Xingyue’s memories of the dead were being battered once more!

She had to accelerate again, transmitting directly through willpower: “You said I liked planting flowers… teaching the Time Master to plant… It wasn’t really planting—it was a way to wield life force…”

“Upstream, the others are probably all wounded. My brother hasn’t returned all this time, likely because he can’t come back now… So I must go to heal their injuries and buy more time… I’m not fleeing… I just hope to hold the line longer… Su Yu… you must grow stronger… Otherwise, when they return… you’ll have no chance!”

Su Yu frowned. “You’re going to join the battle of Rule Lords?”

Upstream!

That was a war of Rule Lords—not just one or two, but dozens or hundreds!

He had thought that even if Xingyue revived without remembering much, it would be fine.

In this myriad realm, the danger was minimal.

But if she went upstream, she could fall at any moment.

Xingyue’s Sea of Will roared, countless memories crashing in. Her tone grew urgent, her willpower frantic: “I am a healer. I must go… to restore them! So many years—their injuries must be severe…”

Su Yu frowned again. A healer?

He suddenly laughed. “A doctor who healed herself to death—doesn’t that make you a quack?”

Xingyue had been expecting something else, but at these words, she couldn’t hold back. “Are you even listening to me? I’m no quack! My death… was an accident. I was targeted—some strong ones feared my mastery of the Path of Life… cough, cough, cough…”

She kept coughing, furious.

Su Yu’s focus was always different from everyone else’s!

Xingyue quickly turned to look behind her, then said urgently, “I have to go now. If I leave now, I can still draw in a great deal of life force. If I delay any longer, I might not get another chance to leave this place. I must use this newly revived power, suppress the fluctuations with the Star Universe Seal, and head upstream…”

She was going to join the battle upstream!

Su Yu said nothing more. The Human Emperor… the Human Emperor was probably her brother.

In this myriad realm, it was always brother saving sister or sister saving brother. Truly, being an only child was better—with siblings, you had to keep saving them. How pitiful. But then Su Yu thought, having a sister to save might not be so bad.

At that moment, Su Yu also realized what the power drawn from the River of Time was—it was life force!

The Path of Life!

That was rather interesting. The Immortal Emperor seemed to command a similar type of Path, though not quite the same.

Xingyue said she had been targeted back then.

So she was assassinated?

At that time, the Human Emperor might not have become the Human Emperor yet—perhaps he was still the Human Sovereign?

Thoughts flickered through Su Yu’s mind. He looked at her and said quickly, “So you’re leaving right now?”

“Yes… I… I can’t stay. If I miss this chance, I won’t be able to go upstream again. Then they’ll return soon, maybe even retreat in defeat… That would be a disaster for the myriad realms, and for you…”

If the Human Emperor and his forces were routed and came back, Su Yu, as a human, would likely suffer too.

The logic was sound.

But Su Yu couldn’t help saying, “Don’t drag me into this! You’re going to save your brother. The way you put it, it sounds like you’re going upstream for my sake. How innocent am I!”

Xingyue felt exhausted. Now, countless memories began to revive, battering her entire Sea of Will.

A moment later, Xingyue let out a roar. Boom!

A unique aura burst forth.

Now, the deathly aura on her body had almost completely dissipated. She looked at Su Yu again, her eyes shifting with a hint of unfamiliarity, hesitating slightly as she glanced at him.

Su Yu looked back and smiled. “Hey, hello, Xingyue!”

Xingyue seemed to recall something, yet also seemed not to remember. She frowned slightly, then suddenly turned to look at the opening of the River of Time. Holding the Star Universe Seal, which now radiated a different light, she stepped directly toward the gap without looking back!

The powerful Xingyue, bearing the Star Universe Seal, crossed into the opening with almost no difficulty. She turned back once, looking at Su Yu with a cool gaze. Her voice had changed, carrying a hint of coldness: “I still remember you, Su Yu! But what you owed me, you’ve repaid this time. Between us, there’s no longer any debt. I once saved you too!”

Su Yu smiled and nodded. “Of course!”

Xingyue gave him a detached look. Now, a Path of Life materialized beneath her feet. She stepped into the River of Time, and from the boundary between life and death, she looked at Su Yu once more. Her voice drifted faintly: “You have talent, but compared to some, you may not be stronger. Take care of yourself!”

With that, her figure vanished from the gap, and a surge of intense life force erupted within the River of Time.

Take care of yourself?

Su Yu curled his lips. Women, truly heartless—just moments ago, she seemed reluctant to part, and in the blink of an eye, she had indeed become a different person.

Su Yu smiled. So be it!

Fine!

Since that's the case, now that I've revived you, I no longer owe you anything.

...

In the long river of time.

A surge of rich life force erupted, and Xingyue seemed on the verge of breaking the seal—she even had the hope to shatter it, and could strike!

But at that moment, she furrowed her brow.

Break the seal?

If she broke the seal, she could become a master of the rules, but it might also trigger a chain reaction, allowing all the Heavenly Lords to take this chance and advance alongside her!

Hesitating for a moment, she looked back at the gap, now covered by the river's waters, and suddenly snorted coldly: "Bastard!"

He hadn't even said a single kind word.

Serves him right to stay single forever!

She looked upstream again, a trace of worry in her eyes. Upstream, she could sense her brother's condition was very poor—bound by blood, she felt he wasn't far away, but he might have been gravely wounded.

Now, this burst of life force was spreading upstream, and she could take this opportunity to go there.

Glancing downstream, she could no longer see Su Yu.

Yet, she still seemed to see his image—his indifference, his carelessness.

"Bastard!"

She cursed again. The next moment, she intended to head straight upstream, but as if recalling something, she suddenly twisted her body and charged downstream with incredible speed.

In the blink of an eye, she reached a powerful tributary.

Someone seemed to be in that tributary, and suddenly, a figure opened his eyes and swiftly flew out.

Baizhan was stunned. Who was this?

Boom!

Before he could speak, an immensely powerful force erupted, a palm descended, and with a thunderous crash, sent Baizhan stumbling, nearly falling.

Xingyue reached out, and a figure materialized—Jian Tianhou looked somewhat bewildered. But the next moment, his mouth gaped open as Xingyue grabbed him, turning him into millions of threads that instantly ensnared Baizhan.

Xingyue's voice was cold: "You are the fortune of my dynasty, thus my subject. Suppress him for a moment, or I will sever your fate!"

With a sharp cry, Jian Tianhou, losing control, was transformed into a net by her, covering Baizhan.

Baizhan frowned.

He was about to erupt, but then hesitated slightly, choosing not to fight to the death by shattering Jian Tianhou and battling the mysterious woman.

At that moment, figures emerged from the tributary below.

Changqing and the others were all stunned—who was this?

"Rebels!"

Xingyue snorted coldly, reaching out to grab them. They tried to resist, but suddenly, a force of suppression descended, and the Xingyu Seal appeared, booming as it suppressed those ancient courtiers!

This was entirely different from when Su Yu wielded it!

Su Yu, holding the Xingyu Seal, could not suppress these courtiers.

But in Xingyue's hands, it had such an effect.

Changqing and the others changed color, their faces shifting dramatically—this... this was... one of the rulers of the Imperial Court!

Who was she?

What did she intend to do?

Xingyue did nothing else. She reached out again toward those people, and now they understood her intent!

In that instant, from each of those powerful figures, vast amounts of life force and physical strength were seized and extracted!

In the distance, Baizhan's face changed, and he shouted, "How dare you!"

Boom!

Baizhan's aura surged, instantly breaking through Jian Tianhou's blockade. But at that moment, Xingyue's aura shifted, and she grabbed Jian Tianhou again, turning him into a long sword, pointing it at Baizhan: "Don't come closer! Do you want to force me to break the seal now and let everyone advance to rule masters?"

Baizhan frowned slightly: "You are human! What do you want? Even if all advance, it would bring changes, but I can bear it."

Xingyue thought for a moment—perhaps that was true.

She dropped that topic and pointed at Changqing and the others: "These are my household ministers, who betrayed my Imperial Court! I will take half their physical strength and half their life force, and their crime of rebellion will be forgiven! Baizhan, you don't want your people to forever bear the name of traitors, do you?"

Baizhan frowned: "Whom do you represent?"

"I represent the Human Emperor!"

Xingyue held the Xingyu Seal, suppressing them, and with the Jian Tianhou sword in hand, she said coldly: "I represent the Imperial Court!

Let me extract, and I will pardon their crime of rebellion!"

Baizhan's face shifted. He was very strong; if he truly unleashed his full power, he was not afraid of this woman before him. His earlier stumble was only because he had just emerged and hadn't expected her to strike immediately.

He looked at Changqing and the others, whose expressions were now complex.

Crime of rebellion?

Was it?

Perhaps... it was.

Xingyue said coldly: "Don't waste my time. Hurry up!"

Among the crowd, Xue Ying and the others sighed, lowering their heads: "Extract... after this extraction... our subordinate relationship with the ancient Imperial Court... will be completely over."

Xingyue said calmly: "In the past, you served the Imperial Court; now you have rebelled. I extract your life force and physical strength, pardoning you on behalf of the Imperial Court! The Human Emperor did not abandon you all—he was at the front, blocking powerful enemies for you! This does not mean the Human Emperor gave up on you; it is you who betrayed the Human Emperor!"

The Human Emperor had not abandoned them, nor had the other Human Kings—they were still fighting on the front lines!

Thus, these people were rebels!

It was not that the sovereigns did not fight; they were fighting enemies abroad, always!

Xingyue explained no further. She swiftly extracted vast amounts of life force and physical strength, then retrieved the Xingyu Seal that had been suppressing them, tossed Jian Tianhou aside, and vanished instantly.

Baizhan's face shifted, and he said in a low voice: "May I ask, what is your relationship with the Human Emperor?"

Xingyue, already far away, did not respond.

She was busy!

No time to deal with Baizhan. As for the powerful ones under his command, she had taken half their life force and half their physical strength—they wouldn't die, though their life force could not be restored, while their physical strength could recover.

Baizhan, who controlled the physical path, could restore them eventually.

Xingyue moved swiftly, soon leaving Baizhan and the others behind.

On her forehead, a gate appeared.

After scouting around for a while, soon crossing several great paths, in a moment she reached a tributary.

"Is this the Path of the Desolate Beast?"

She sensed it, judged it, and it should be.

The next moment, she took all the life force she had just drawn, including the power of her flesh, and merged it entirely into the Path of the Desolate Beast, swiftly sealing the path.

Having done this, she looked ahead—no time left, she had to go.

She hurried forward, following the life force, all the way until she reached the previous breach. She looked down; now the river had covered that gap.

She thought for a moment: that idiot Su Yu probably wouldn't use the Path of the Desolate Beast anytime soon.

Though she had heard him say several times that he would sever the Path of the Desolate Beast to help others restore their flesh, he seemed to forget often.

The Star Universe Seal erupted again, suppressing the river in an instant. Star Moon struck the river with a palm, breaking it open, revealing the gap below, and she vaguely saw Su Yu again.

At that moment, Su Yu seemed to be busy with something, about to leave the Dead Spirit Path.

Suddenly, Su Yu looked ahead, puzzled: "Why are you back again?"

Star Moon gazed at him from afar, coldly saying: "The Path of the Desolate Beast!"

What the hell?

Su Yu was bewildered: "Speak human!"

Star Moon grew a bit annoyed, snorted, "Go to hell!"

She quickly sealed the gap and vanished in an instant.

This time, Su Yu rubbed his chin, smiled, and suddenly crawled out through the gap, just in time to see Star Moon flying swiftly upstream.

It wasn't that he couldn't crawl through; it was just that without the Star Universe Seal, getting out was much harder.

Watching Star Moon race upstream against the current, Su Yu looked on and shouted: "Remember, big brothers are meant to be used, not saved! Don't get yourself killed. When I have time, I'll go play with your brother!"

Star Moon didn't turn back, but her steps stiffened slightly. This guy never seemed to be serious. -

Su Yu laughed heartily: "Take care! Just don't hold a grudge! Star Moon, when you reach the upper reaches, tell your brother you have a powerful subordinate who will soon come knocking, and it'll drop his jaw, hahaha!"

"Remember, don't reveal my news! Otherwise, if I actually meet the Human Sovereign and don't get to see his jaw drop, I'll be really disappointed!"

What a perverse taste!

Star Moon didn't look back, quickly departing. That bastard Su Yu was always so unserious!

And Su Yu, waving his hand with a smile, soon sighed.

Fight my ass—in the short term, there's no way I'm going up there!

Just blowing smoke, don't take it seriously!

Thus, everyone was fully revived. As for whether Star Moon still retained any memories, Su Yu couldn't be bothered to ask. Actually, he guessed she kept quite a bit. Whatever, he'd check the situation inside the Path of the Desolate Beast later.
