Chapter 1625: Chapter 1625
In the end, Du You realized that Moyuer’s Revive Skill wasn’t entirely without merit.
At least its cooldown time was significantly shorter than his Dark Resurrection skill, and it could revive more people. Back then, he could only revive a small number of people in seven days, which was far less effective in comparison.
Moreover, his skill couldn’t revive anyone whose tier exceeded his own; if someone was of a higher tier, there was nothing he could do.
But Moyuer was different. She could forcibly revive individuals above her tier by sacrificing one tier herself and entering a temporary state of weakness during which she couldn’t use her skills.
However, this was limited to just one tier above, and the greater the strength disparity, the longer her period of weakness. In extreme cases, her level might drop more than one tier, leaving her unable to use the Revive Skill for a long time.
The holy light truly embodied the principle of self-sacrifice for the benefit of others—it was evident just from the skill’s effects.
For the next period of time, Du You stayed at home to accompany Xi Qianxue and Li Mengyao. Of course, Shaliya and Elsa visited as well, though Elsa’s presence brought Du You a sense of helpless frustration.
Wherever Elsa was, Du You frequently found himself in an awkward and passive position, unable to handle many matters as he would like.
Meanwhile, this became an extended vacation for Xi Qianxue and Li Mengyao’s team members. They had been worn out from the hectic pace of the preceding weeks. Resting well now was also preparation for improving themselves in the future.
During this time, Du You and the two sisters refrained from further absorbing Law Crystals to enhance themselves.
However, some events are beyond human control. After two months of relaxation at home, Du You was nearly accustomed to this peaceful lifestyle when an unexpected incident abruptly disrupted it.
Gazing at the panel in front of him, Du You’s brows furrowed tightly.
"Is something wrong? If there’s an issue, you should handle it first. You’ve spent plenty of time with us at home, and we’re very content. Just wrap things up quickly and come back to us," Li Mengyao said gently.
Li Mengyao had become much more tender than before; gone was her fiery and headstrong demeanor. Those who had known her in the past might think they’ve mistaken her for someone else.
Even the icy Xi Qianxue had completely melted, with occasional flashes of warmth visible in her eyes.
Of course, this softer side of the two women only emerged when Du You was present. Once he left, they would revert to their former authoritative and sharp personas—perhaps even more so.
Du You sighed and nodded: "Skarow just sent me a message. There’s trouble brewing on the Tangled Undead Plane."
In fact, reports of this issue had started arriving two months ago when Du You had just returned. But at that time, Du You had no desire to deal with anything and only wanted to spend time at home with his family.
Since that period, demons on the Tangled Undead Plane battlefield had begun actively attacking. Previously, they had focused solely on defensive measures, with similar situations unfolding across regions. The number of demons had started growing rapidly. Updates are released by 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚~𝙣𝙚𝙩
But today, the situation took a drastic turn. Over recent weeks, increasingly powerful demon creatures had appeared in a relentless stream of attacks—an influx that proved beneficial to the territory.
However, today’s report revealed that a seven-tier Demon King had surfaced outside.
A fierce battle ensued, leaving a Death God critically injured and bringing the Demon King to the brink of death. Both were out of commission for a long time. Yet this was an unmistakable danger signal.
Looking through the documents in Du You’s hands, even Li Mengyao and Xi Qianxue realized the gravity of the situation.
"Based on analysis of past data on the Demon World, such circumstances only occur for one reason: they’ve found a vulnerability in the world barrier. This allows them to send a large number of demons—and even high-tier demons—into this world. When they have sufficient strength, they launch aggressive mass invasions to prepare for world conquest."
Du You nodded: "You’re right. In fact, many Undead Worlds are secretly controlled by demons. To demons, undead creatures are cheap cannon fodder, and many demons even consider them akin to kin."
"In the past, there have been cases of demons attacking other worlds accompanied by large undead forces. This situation we face now is precisely such a moment of control." For some unknown reason, demons seemed proficient at finding various Undead Planes—far more so than locating other worlds.
"Thus, you must go handle the issues there. If things aren’t resolved, that plane might fall to demon control in no time. If that happens, your territory will be ruined."
This plane was currently the only eight-tier world uniquely belonging to Du You, and he couldn’t afford to lose it. If he managed to secure and dominate the world, his territory would reach an eight-tier status, which carried immense benefits for him.
In fact, even among the many Professionals, eight-tier territories were exceedingly rare and highly coveted.
If this plane were exposed, countless individuals would swarm to claim it. An eight-tier world without an eight-tier guardian would be a delicious prize for opportunists. Losing it would deal a heavy blow to Du You.
Du You could afford to abandon other worlds, but this one was non-negotiable—at least for now.
"Fine, it looks like I’ll have to spend a long time in that plane. Its time ratio compared to Earth isn’t very favorable, so I’ll depend on you all in the meanwhile," Du You said apologetically.
The two sisters cuddled gently into Du You’s embrace. "It’s no trouble for us; we’ll just miss you. Make sure to come back soon, or we’ll forget the warmth of your touch."
Both women’s faces flushed pink, their breaths growing increasingly rapid.
Suddenly, Du You felt a surge of heat within himself. He swept the two women into his arms and strode toward his bedroom. This feat—carrying one woman in each arm—was a skill only a physically powerful Professional could pull off.
Du You glanced back to see the two sisters exchange a look, then pull Shaliya along to join them in the bedroom.
However, Elsa, who tried to follow, was thwarted as the two sisters blocked her outside the door, leaving her pouting in deep frustration. What an opportunity lost, and they had caught on!
The sisters chuckled knowingly. Du You had no intention of establishing that kind of relationship with Elsa, and they certainly wouldn’t allow it. After all, the two sisters were entirely devoted to Du You; any decisions had to align with their master’s wishes.
The next day, when Du You left, Xi Qianxue and Li Mengyao were completely out of it, and even Shaliya had suffered collateral damage.
