Chapter 943: Chapter 931: The Temptation of Immortality Chapter 943: Chapter 931: The Temptation of Immortality “Can you really bring Yaji back to life?”
Hearing the words uttered by Muria, even the humans engulfed in a state of panic were struck with astonishment and shock, especially Dr. Allen, who appeared particularly agitated.
“Of course, I can,” Muria said with a slight smile. His power had now reached the Soul Intent Level of the Erathia World.
Though he could not possess the same power as his true self, which included the ability to reverse life and death bestowed upon him by Hades, with his current strength, reviving a mortal whose soul had not yet left their body and restoring vitality to their form—similar to performing a great resurrection—was feasible.
Having said this, Muria paid no mind to the stunned expressions of the ordinary humans and reached out his hand toward Yaji, who appeared completely devoid of life on the ground.
A golden light began to flow from Muria’s hand, covering his form. The girl’s stiff body started to levitate, floating to a position level with his chest.
Then the golden light spread outwards, attracting the life energy invisible to ordinary mortals, flowing into the girl’s body.
Next, before the eyes of the common humans, a scene akin to a miracle unfolded. Yaji’s ghastly purplish skin gradually started to fade, returning to her originally fair and clear complexion.
After that, a blush signifying life appeared on her face. At that moment, Yaji, who was devoid of any signs of life, began to breathe faintly through her nostrils, and her full chest started to rise and fall in slight but distinctly noticeable motions—she was breathing again.
“Cough!” A faint coughing sound emerged, and the girl floating in front of Muria slowly opened her eyes.
“She is truly resurrected!” Witnessing the resurrection with her own eyes, Dr. Allen’s gaze lit up with an unprecedented radiant light. She felt as though she had found what she was looking for. Although it was different in form, the outcome was essentially the same.
At this moment, the awakened Yaji had a confused look in her eyes. She remembered everything she had encountered before losing consciousness—the nightmare-like experiences.
“I breathed in the air of Pandora World, I should have died, yet now…”
Yaji felt her current state was unprecedented, and following an inexplicable feeling, she turned her head slightly and immediately saw Muria standing beside her. Muria’s majestic posture gave her a powerful visual impact,
“Are you a deity?”
Yaji murmured softly, questioning Muria. She remembered her life support device had shattered, having inhaled the air of Pandora World, which was just as she had anticipated—extremely fresh and sweet.
She recalled the emergency training before arriving at Pandora World—inhaling this world’s air would certainly lead to a human’s death, and no one could be saved, yet here she was, awakening once more, in the best state she had ever been.
“Yaji, he is not a deity; he is a king of the Yikong people!” Just then, a shout rang in Yaji’s ear, and following the figure, she saw her stunned mentor and classmates.
Afterward, Yaji felt her levitating body gently descend, as the deity-like being gently placed her on the ground. Upon touching the ground, she felt a sense of loss, a faint regret rising in her heart.
“Yaji, you can breathe!” At that moment, a student exclaimed in amazement, surprised to find Yaji breathing comfortably in this world’s air, despite her protective suit’s shattered helmet and damaged life support, without showing any discomfort on her face.
“I…” Upon being reminded, Yaji was also astonished to discover she was now breathing air that was even fresher than that of her own world, without a hint of discomfort.
“There’s no need for such surprise. This is just a small reward for inviting you here,” Muria said with a smile that could easily make someone want to scold him.
“Heh, Your Excellency has a rather special way of inviting us!” Sure enough, the complaint came from a student overwhelmed with indignation.
Throwing a human who had grown up in a civilized society suddenly into a primitive forest, not only struggling with hunger and cold but also living in constant fear, it was simply impossible to keep a calm mind under such circumstances.
“There’s no helping it, as the usual way of inviting you wouldn’t have been sufficient to bring you here. So special measures had to be taken,” Muria explained without a hint of irritation. These people were probably going to work for him until death, so being a little lenient with them was no issue at all.
“May I know what Your Excellency has invited us to do?” asked Dr. Allen, who stepped forward and inquired respectfully. Her eyes were filled with fervor as she looked at Muria.
“The first thing you’ll do is teach my knights your civilization’s common languages and scripts,” Muria plainly stated his request.
To learn the advanced technology of another civilization, it is fundamental to learn their language and script. Otherwise, even if they lay the materials in front of you, you wouldn’t understand a thing.
“This…” Hearing Muria’s words, the doctoral student subconsciously wanted to refuse, because he could tell the ambition and the threat it posed to their civilization just by listening to it.
“Certainly, great King Uhl, it is my honor to serve you!” Not even waiting for her student to answer, Doctor Allen immediately agreed to Muria’s request.
“Hm, you are quite good!” Seeing the leading female doctor so understanding, Muria nodded in satisfaction, but he knew that her compliance must have a reason.
Perhaps it was out of fear of his power, but more likely, she had some need of him – this doctor probably wanted to obtain something from him.
“As the first exotic person to obey my commands, you may make a wish to me!” Of course, Muria understood the principle that a good horse deserves a good price, so he spoke very generously, “If your wish is within my power, I can help you fulfill it!”
“Great King Uhl, can you bestow upon me the gift of everlasting youth?” asked Doctor Allen, half in anticipation and half in reverence.
“Everlasting youth?” Upon hearing the female doctor’s request, Muria smiled, “That’s quite simple!”
Muria raised his hand and pointed at the doctor, a stream of golden light shot from his fingertip and entered Doctor Allen’s body.
Then the female doctor’s visage began to change at a pace visible to the naked eye; her face had been wrinkle-free, her skin smooth and elastic.
To anyone, she would have given the impression of a middle-aged aunt who took good care of her appearance, but now, after Muria infused and transformed her body with the surrounding vitality, she gave off a completely different vibe.
Now, at a glance, she appeared as a woman in the prime of her youth, when her features were most radiant. She had transformed from an older auntie into an attractive young woman.
Such a drastic change shocked her students, leaving them dumbfounded, especially the female students, whose eyes sparkled with excitement. What woman doesn’t adore beauty, and what woman wouldn’t want her appearance to remain forever at the peak of her youth?
The main reason these female students chose Doctor Allen as their mentor was to preserve their own youthfulness and slow the progression of aging.
And now, the abilities Muria had just displayed utterly eclipsed Doctor Allen’s years of research. It was as if he had reversed time itself on Doctor Allen, bringing her back to her youngest days.
“Alright, you can take off that cumbersome life-support system you’re wearing,” Muria said with a smile after forcibly infusing a current of vitality into this mortal’s body.
“I can now breathe the air of Pandora World as well?” Doctor Allen blinked in surprise. Under Muria’s gaze, and without much hesitation, she resolutely removed her protective suit, especially since she had her student’s example to follow.
“As for you all, being my invited guests, I also grant you the freedom to breathe freely in this world!” Using his power, Muria slightly reinforced the lungs of these ordinary humans,
“You will rest here for a while, and once you’ve adapted to the environment, you can start your teaching!”
After finishing, Muria turned and left, giving time and space back to these captives.
…
“Mentor, why did you agree to this native king?” asked one of the students, challenging Allen after Muria had left, “Haven’t you realized what this native wants?”
“So what if I have?” Allen wore an unconcerned expression on her face, “Have you forgotten why we came to Pandora World?”
“To collect and record the plants of Pandora World, and then create potions that slow down aging and extend lifespan!” Yaji, whom Muria had revived, chimed in.
“We hadn’t found a suitable position, but we have found a great Deity who can grant us eternal life!”
“But Mentor, he said that he is not a Deity.”
“Just because he says he’s not, does that mean he isn’t?” Doctor Allen turned and stared at the student who was arguing with her, “Look at my face, and then look at your classmate Yaji, rejuvenated and brought back from death’s door. Isn’t this the power held by Deities? Now that we’ve encountered a great Deity who can grant us eternal life, why are you still bickering? What’s so bad about serving a Deity that can grant us eternity?”
“But even if he is a deity, he is a deity of this world, not our deity!”
