Chapter 1272: Chapter 967: The Creator’s Joy (Part 2)
"No." Jiang Yuan shook his head, "Heroic Yu Hu warriors defend this land even in death. If given the chance to bring you back to life, to live again, yet I do nothing, the world would miss a respectable race.
There’s no need to say more, my decision is made. To avoid unnecessary waste, please cooperate with full effort!"
After speaking, he clicked on Yu Hu warrior number 1, inputting 200 points into the gift box that popped up.
[Please have the target remove equipment, fully open themselves to wait for the restoration of remnants of soul and body]
Instead of the usual whirlpool that appears after gifting Life Origin, a different prompt popped up.
Jiang Yuan informed the opponent truthfully, who then took off the huge bird skull, revealing a face quite different from humans with a bluish-black tint; removing the armor, exposing a similarly scarred and robust bluish-black body.
This was his first time seeing the face, it had a slight resemblance to an Avatar upon first glance.
But lacking a tail, both hands and feet resembled claws, with more agile hand claws and larger, stronger foot claws.
[Undergoing repairs, please wait...]
As the new message appeared, a familiar whirlwind filled with sparkling light and intense vitality appeared, but this time it only enveloped Yu Hu warrior number 1, excluding Jiang Yuan.
He watched as a bystander, noticing the sparkling points being swept into the body at the center, a process that lasted over a minute before gradually ending.
Once the whirlwind dispersed, the body of Yu Hu warrior number 1 displayed the healthy pale white color of flowing blood; eyes bright with spirit; the once shriveled chest now full, highlighting a physique brimming with muscular power.
"Crack!"
With disbelief on his face, he clenched his fists, causing a light sound from the bones; taking a deep breath, his chest heaved filled with spiritual energy throughout. Hot blood surged through his body; he was full of strength, and his mind was crystal-clear, recalling memories once forgotten amidst the soul.
"The Yu Hu tribe, Xingyang, kneels in gratitude for the general’s blessing of rebirth!" Named Xingyang after forgetting his own name, number 1 warrior knelt to perform a bow of great respect.
[Yu Hu tribe member Xingyang, dead and resurrected with lifespan reset, would you like to donate your lifespan?]
[Note: If you choose not to donate lifespan, Xingyang will die three days after resurrection; lifespan donation requires starting from ten years, with a maximum of three hundred years]
"Hm, this bow I truly deserve." Jiang Yuan glanced at his lifespan exceeding thirty thousand, indicating three hundred years wouldn’t be a problem, just a trifle!
If necessary, he could quickly regain by absorbing more lifespan from Leisure Sect evil cultivators.
He stepped forward to help stand the first resurrected Xingyang, and smilingly explained: "You have no lifespan at rebirth; within my ability, I can give you three hundred years. With this lifespan, cultivate earnestly for an early realm advancement, and you’ll naturally live without worries."
The opponent eagerly intended to bow again on hearing, but Jiang Yuan stopped him, "You’ve followed me and fought hard, no need for more words, next I will revive them one by one, time’s tight we’ve got to hurry."
Though he could teleport directly home from here, he still thought about guarding to recharge the arrays at Immortal Peak with the "technician", and missing the opportunity would mean a five-day wait.
He generously granted three hundred years lifespan, instructing number 2 to remove equipment and continue.
He didn’t wait idly this time, tapping number 3, 4... all the way, gifting Life Origin before clicking for lifespan donation. Witnessing the resurrected zombie-like forms brought an achievement sense not unlike being a creator!
[Do Good Deeds Every Day: Luck +1; Special Material Gift Package +1; Herbal Gift Package +1]
[Achievement: Revived, saved courageous selfless race single-handedly. Reward: Choose Mystery Gift +2]
Jiang Yuan: !!!
When the courtyard rose to level eight, the significant reward was the choice of a mystery gift, a coordinate to the Celestial Court Turquoise Pool was revealed. Now such mystery gifts, suddenly got two!
It seems the system is quite satisfied with his actions to revive the Yu Hu tribe, otherwise, the rewards wouldn’t be so lavish.
Indeed, whether spending money, effort, or life, the System never lets the host suffer losses!
Only now did he realize that the Yu Hu warriors he captured were not bird-headed human-bodied, but merely wore helmets, and among the ten were six men and four women, the Yu Hu tribe didn’t mind intermarriage with outsiders.
Though only ten remained, with three hundred years lifespan granted, the entire tribe’s sustainability was promising.
After providing them with some material support, Jiang Yuan bid farewell and returned to Immortal Peak.
Just as it was quiet when leaving, the grand small world lay empty apart from himself, sitting cross-legged at a hidden spot, ready for the waiting game.
Minutes and seconds ticked by, while researching all the unlocked privileges in the main courtyard and possible interesting plays, Jiang Yuan sensed movement at the entrance!
Instantly alert, he held his breath and focused his gaze.
After a rustle in the Void, a "door" split open.
"Damn! This thing won’t really break, right? If it does break, it’ll be trouble..." A grumbly, short and ugly not-quite-human squirmed through the narrow "door".
[Ugly Slave: Evil Cultivator of Ninth Layer Divine Travel Realm, Array Master, Leisure Sect member. True form is a single-horn rhino, abandoned by tribe due to congenital disability, adopted by the great array master Hao Daqiang. However, even post-transformation, his disabled body remained unrestored, resulting in his human-nonhuman appearance.
Mockingly self-named Ugly Slave due to his appearance being ridiculed.
Articulate and sly, upon representing his master Hao Daqiang to promote arrays he contacted Leisure Sect, thus joining.
Utilizing his master’s powerful arrays, became an indispensable "technician" across the Wilderness. Not only exempt from merit contributions but also embezzles essence while recharging arrays for cultivation...]
Truly there is a technician!
More coincidentally, the technician is the array master Hao Daqiang’s disciple he had been keeping an eye on!
Jiang Yuan’s eyes gleamed with interest, closely observing each of the opponent’s moves, ready to grasp when he took out the essence replenishments. Of course, impersonation is impossible, no matter how he camouflaged, he couldn’t become this ghostly figure, but he could unravel leads to Hao Daqiang...
Could it be! Hao Daqiang might also have dealings with evil cultivators?
The thought of his yet-to-meet array master potentially being a fallen evil cultivator didn’t sit well with his mood.
"Not a bit left, truly a bunch of greedy bastards!" Ugly Slave cursed, dragging his short and deformed legs, slowly moving across the vast array.
Born ugly, though forming a human shape improved things, it was still unsightly.
Cultivators receive Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, no matter how typically ordinary they are, lacking handsome or beautiful traits they wouldn’t be ugly enough to draw attention.
Yet, Ugly Slave’s face was covered in dark rhino skin over half, with a crooked rhino horn on the forehead, a sunken nose, large upturned thick lips exposing malformed tusks undeletable regardless of refinement.
Therefore, he loathed all well-looking cultivators, whether righteous or evil, he hated them all, looking down upon them!
Regrettably, being an array master capable of crafting practical arrays, his competence was just average. The twisted heart full of occasional murderous thoughts restrained by reason—it leads not to impetuous slaughter due to lacking power, lest caught and brought to justice.
Since contacting Leisure Sect, though Ugly Slave detested peers like pretty male faces, gleaned satisfaction from quiet murders and devouring to strengthen himself, he was extremely joyful!
Involved in providing array services for Leisure Sect from day one with cunning effort.
The action not only drew high praise from important figures comforting his soul but crucially allowed him personal gain.
Take this Holy Land array, designed to inject a hundred thousand essence at once. Calculated on each evil cultivator crossing tribulation in strength varying, on needed protection amount variating, summed, it’d suffice for twenty thousand tribulation crossings.
Ugly Slave could slyly intercept several thousand essences, stashed away for personal consumption and refinement, in any case, no detailed records on usage numbers, top leaders wouldn’t bother to exert effort refining calculations.
But last time, clearly taking not much yet how quick it’s fully depleted?
"Hiss! Array’s fine... then where’s the issue?" He made a complete round checking, amid doubting his insufficient skills, wondering if anywhere slipped wrong while pulling a large glass jar holding the ten thousand essence from his storage bag.
Now’s the time!
Jiang Yuan, long-awaiting, sprung into action, throwing a capture net overhead, followed immediately by the all-time favorite Chaotic Heaven Bell!
