1234: Chapter 1220: Revive 1234: Chapter 1220: Revive When do beast swarms unite?
Only when they encounter prey powerful and plump enough.
“…So that’s how it is, they are playing a big game.”
Lu Ping’an received a letter of invitation, sent by Lord Arkur himself.
It seems that he sent it through Lord Xiuyi, a gesture of significant favor.
Lu Ping’an had no qualification to enter the “Message Board”; it was unrelated to his current status and connections…
Forcing one’s way into such a circle with insufficient strength, and prematurely entering the high-level view, is not a good thing.
The worst-case scenario would be to be forcibly seated with powerful beasts and inadvertently turn oneself into a piece of fat meat.
“Actually, everyone has come…”
Lu Ping’an still underestimated the appetites of Lin Nu’s Church, the Quasi-Gods, and the eighth-tier big shots.
They are indeed like loose sand, with numerous independent regions like Dragon Moon Island exist within the southern domain of Lin Nu’s forces.
All the big shots have their own forces and foundations, merely paying nominal respect to “Lin Nu,” the Proper God who can contain them all.
However, they are still one force, which means they can charge at a common powerful enemy under one name, achieving victories that other loose forces wouldn’t even dare dream of.
The pursuits of Lin Nu’s forces and normal explorers are fundamentally different; from the start, they set their sights on this world….
“This is indeed a most excessively aggressive plan, and yet, they have indeed succeeded…”
An anthropomorphic World Consciousness is difficult to deal with and to negotiate with, but from another angle, it can be easier to handle…
It may be hard to fight against, but it is possible to deceive!
Normally, seizing the World Origin and Authority of a world is almost impossible; it’s often only feasible after completely destroying that world.
But this time, the inexperienced Newborn World Consciousness not only swallowed the poison pill but also, in order to protect itself, peeled off its own Authority and “consciousness”…
Whether it’s one or the other, both are treasures professionals cannot refuse.
Successfully backstabbing the World’s Will, what follows is the rush of the Quasi-Gods and eighth-tier professionals to snatch the fruits of victory; hence, this is when they are most fully gathered.
However, for the whole world, this may not necessarily be a bad thing.
They even used their resources and connections to bring over the Divine Boat…
The influx of a large number of personnel and combat power indeed alleviated the tense situation on the frontline, and as long as they remain “humanity’s Quasi-Gods,” there’s no need to worry about them turning their harsh hands on their own people.
“…Probably, some things still have to be kept secret.”
Arkur’s letter did not mention the fragments, obviously, he also thinks this isn’t something Lu Ping’an should know, simply hinting that he should best avoid places of mutation.
If Lu were truly just an ordinary fifth-tier, and really came into contact with this thing, it would be a curse…
Forcing oneself close to a super contamination source without sufficient strength is no different from seeking death.
Of course, under normal circumstances, one would be killed directly by the mutations caused by the fragments.
If one encounters a fragment that still has “consciousness,” even the current Lu Ping’an would have a hard time dealing with it, after all, hunting Beasts and fighting against (powerful) Intelligent creatures are not the same level of difficulty.
But right now, Lu Ping’an has busier matters at hand.
The slightly cute and soft screams from Mei Yuge clearly indicate her discomfort with the current state…
Although the Newborn’s right leg is very tender, and even seems somewhat unable to hold the weight, the sensation of feeling below the right leg allowed her to walk faster and faster…
The girl’s tears fell unconsciously, and around her, friends who were happy for her as well.
“I really didn’t expect they could develop new uses for it…”
Lu Ping’an felt increasingly intrigued.
He had thought the “fragments” were quite straightforward, simply having abilities like “forgotten” and “enlightening,” but it turns out the simpler the “rules,” the higher their limit.
“…It can actually make the body forget that it has lost a limb, allowing it to return to its original, intact state.”
Under normal circumstances, healing “amputated limbs” is not a challenge for high-level Healers, but old injuries like Mei Yuge’s were essentially beyond help.
Professionals, especially high-tier professionals, are in a sense “aggregates of contamination.” They rely on their “Profession” and the “Order” to maintain their humanoid form and stability.
What prevented Mei Yuge from healing her leg was not just the nerve severance after the old wound had healed, but also her conceptual “incompleteness.”
Her one-legged self represented a stable state, and any casual correction was unrealistic.
Forcibly “adding” to her was something not even high-tier professionals could do…
Conceptually, her one-legged self was complete, and her strength made regeneration impossible.
However, the “Spring of Oblivion” could wash that away, even transcending the conceptual level.
Once the reality of “losing a leg” was erased, she would be like a newcomer who had just lost a limb…
Then, Lu Ping’an had plenty of ways to help her regenerate and reattach the leg.
The only problem was…
“More than five hundred points, it’s really not cheap…”
Although the effect of the New-born Lake Water was excellent, you got what you paid for.
To erase the concept of a “broken leg,” the lake water consumed over five hundred of Mei Yuge’s points…
That was nearly half a Rule-level item.
But she sold a slew of items to the courtyard, including various Taboo knowledge and new species, and borrowed a bit from Lu Ping’an, managing to gather it all quite easily.
Another disabled person, Tao Song, clearly could not afford this.
If Lu Ping’an were to lend him money…
Nevermind that he might not qualify for such a loan, even if he could borrow the money, he wouldn’t be able to pay the interest.
If the system settled the account, it would end up trapping him.
“You have another option that might help you.
If it doesn’t work, then you can work to save up points.”
What Lu Ping’an was referring to was his fifth-tier main Profession Ability, “Revive,” which granted someone another “Life.”
And after testing, it usually turned out to be the part that the person was most lacking…
So, for someone with a severed arm to gain a new one seemed quite normal.
Of course, there was a high chance of some mutation, which should be acceptable.
But such trials were still not accomplished overnight; it wasn’t that Lu Ping’an was putting on airs, but rather that the other person needed to accumulate goodwill and earn some coins.
The prerequisite for unleashing “Revive” in its entirety was the use of two Life Coins as materials.
This was also the reason many recruits had not directly Awakened…
They were still cautious and even wary of Lu Ping’an, how could they possibly entrust their “Life” to him.
“If back then we had a second life, had additional strength, would things have been different…”
Tao Song felt somewhat helpless and numb.
The despair of that day was not only Mei Yuge’s midnight nightmare; how could they, as fellow Losers, easily forget?
“Heh, don’t make me laugh.
You were too weak back then; even if you doubled in strength, you’d still be weaklings, unable to change anything.”
Lu Ping’an had already heard about Mei Yuge’s experiences; back then, the others were practically dead weight.
Even if they truly had a second life, it was unlikely they would have turned the tables.
As usual, Lu Ping’an’s blunt truth was unpleasant to hear, yet it was somewhat comforting to them.
However, inside the courtyard, someone suddenly became excited.
if you could make me forget that I have already lost my physical body and use ‘Revive’ on me, could I regain a body of flesh and return to the main road?”
Fang Wen’s proposal was quite imaginative…
But it seemed it might actually work!
