Chapter 1009: Chapter 74: The Era of Great Conflict [Two in One]_2

At this moment, could he only watch helplessly as she met her end?

Chu Liang suddenly thought of something. With a flip of his palms, the figure of Tuntun in the center of his hands disappeared.

Within the White Pagoda in his Divine Sense, Tuntun’s phantom finally solidified, and strands of a white cocoon began to appear, entwining around her scant Origin of Life.

Seeing her gradually encased in a large cocoon, Chu Liang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, Tuntun was a creature born within the White Pagoda. She had her own Origin of Life and could enter the White Pagoda to slumber at any time. However, after being possessed by the Demon God Origin, Tuntun’s own essence had gradually merged with it.

Just now, as the Demon God Origin burned out, Tuntun’s own Origin of Life was also depleted, and she nearly perished completely.

Thankfully, Chu Liang had timely sent her back to the White Pagoda, allowing her to hibernate there, thus freezing her state.

In the battle with the Evil Ksitigarbha, Tuntun stood on the side of the Human Clan. She could very well have escaped. The reason she ended up in such a dire situation was to save Chu Liang.

Chu Liang absolutely could not accept Tuntun dying like this.

But the problem now before him was that although Tuntun was sealed within this cocoon, her Origin of Life was already exhausted. She seemed to be alive, but would never be able to awaken, which was essentially no different from being dead. Chu Liang’s actions appeared to be nothing more than delaying the inevitable arrival of that moment.

Faced with such a situation, Chu Liang suddenly thought of someone.

The Talisman Heavenly Master.

Back then, when he faced the death of his loved one, was it a scene similar to this that inspired the idea to refine the Reincarnation Rune? It was just unfortunate that by the time his Reincarnation Rune was finished, the person he wanted to revive was already beyond return.

But now the Reincarnation Rune was in Chu Liang’s hands.

...

Whoosh—

Golden radiance flickered and filled the space as Chu Liang raised the Reincarnation Rune towards Tuntun’s large cocoon, starting to lower it down.

The Reincarnation Rune could grant inanimate objects sentience and wisdom, and perhaps it really could awaken Tuntun inside the great cocoon. With such an aspiration, Chu Liang spurred his Cultivation without any reservation.

But in the end, he was disappointed.

As the golden light flickered, the white cocoon suddenly made a muffled sound, "What are you doing? What are you doing? Shouldn’t the one you want to awaken be that little insect inside? What’s the meaning of waking me up instead?"

Chu Liang blinked and looked at the wriggling cocoon, saying, "Then how should I bypass you to awaken her?"

"You could just cut me open, couldn’t you?" the cocoon replied languidly, "But don’t say I didn’t warn you, once I’m cut open, I can’t guarantee this little thing anymore, and you’ll only get a corpse. Then you can do this, refine that corpse, but what you get will no longer be a living creature."

Listening to its words, Chu Liang also realized his mistake.

The role of the Reincarnation Rune was to bestow life force and intelligence, planting a new seed in dead matter. But this new seed is brand new. To resurrect the original being was something the Reincarnation Rune couldn’t accomplish.

He couldn’t even obtain a living Heaven Devouring Beast, only a revived insect corpse. Essentially, it was no longer Tuntun.

Or perhaps the Reincarnation Rune was never capable of creating or completing the Origin of Life. It only superficially provided some lifespan and intelligence, more like grasping the "appearance" without touching anything profound.

What was missing?

For the first time, Chu Liang began to contemplate the existence of the Reincarnation Rune. Compared to the absolute resurrection effect that the Talisman Heavenly Master aimed to achieve, what exactly was missing?

The Godly Soul?

Memory?

The Origin of Life seemed to be different from these two. The Godly Soul could be damaged, memories could be incomplete, yet the life remained the same. But once dead and then revived, even if they look the same, they are wholly different.

Where did this Origin come from?

He turned his gaze towards the interior of the White Pagoda beside him, beginning to ponder what kind of existence it was.

He had never considered that the Magical Artifacts produced in the White Pagoda could hardly be found in the Mortal Realm; at first, he thought that the White Pagoda might contain the treasures of the ancestors or was connected to some distant and foreign world.

But now it seems likely that the treasures within the White Pagoda were merged with something else, afterward manifesting new powers and becoming new Magical Treasures.

This creative ability was the most potent aspect of the White Pagoda.

Tuntun was not changed; she remained a Heaven Devouring Beast, possibly because she came with her own life?

Previously he had thought that her predecessor must have been the Heaven Devouring Beast that Yan Renjie had released inside five hundred years ago. But he never considered why this beast, after five hundred years, showed no changes and instead returned to its most primal egg form?

No, that’s wrong.

That Heaven Devouring Beast from back then must have died!

There was no such thing as a reversal in status for a Heaven Devouring Beast. It would only transform as it devoured more Spiritual Power, ultimately reaching the Ninth Realm.

Chu Liang’s eyes grew brighter.

The White Pagoda could create the Origin of Life!

But how could it be done?

...

The reconstruction of Shu Mountain was underway with great vigor, and the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands united to Search the Heaven and Earth for Evil Ksitigarbha’s whereabouts. Now was possibly the only chance to slay him in the Mortal Realm. Given more time to recover, he might succeed in bringing destruction.

Yu Capital City was saved by the Spring and Autumn Avenue, while Shu Mountain was rescued by the Demon God. The impact caused by Evil Ksitigarbha seemed minimal at first. However, people soon realized the changes occurring in this world.

The next day, Western Sea Divine Phoenix Island.
