Chapter 256: Reforging the Throne for "Truth"
Bai Mu fully activated the "core," causing it to emit an incoherent suction force.
The powerful suction caused a dark purple vortex to appear above the "core".
After a long time, the vortex gradually decreased until it disappeared.
Bai Mu extended his left hand, and the "core" re-integrated into his left arm.
...
"Uh, senior sacrificed his own body to suppress these evil forces, he is truly a role model for us all."
“Fu She is right. Senior’s level is beyond our reach.”
"Having such a senior is truly a blessing for Liyue."
The four yakshas were talking to each other, but their tone was not as relaxed as before.
These words seem more like a form of psychological comfort.
...
Bai Mu felt the "vitality" that was several times stronger than before and nodded with satisfaction.
He wanted to find some monsters to test the strength of "vitality", but he was still in the deep mining area and there were no creatures around.
"Let's go up first, we can talk about it when we get back."
After glancing at Ying, who seemed hesitant to speak, Bai Mu spoke.
Even though she had a thousand words to say, Ying knew that her matter could not be resolved here, so she nodded.
Back on the ground, thanks to Bai Mu's precise location tracking, their landing point was right near a Hilichurl camp.
This camp is the largest in the vicinity, and it is guarded by a Hilichurl Helmet.
Shiraki's purpose in coming here was to use this Rock Helmet King to test the strength of "vitality".
The three of them casually walked into the Hilichurls' camp. Upon seeing this, the Hilichurls around the camp shouted and rushed towards them.
Seeing this, Shiraki extended his left hand.
In his palm, dark red "vitality" flowed out like smoke, bypassing the Great Tree King and Shadow, and spreading to the surrounding Hilichurls.
Whether it's an ordinary Hilichurl or those uncle thugs wielding shields and giant axes, the moment they come into contact with "life force," they lose their own life force and become skeletons that look like they've been dead for many years.
Looking at the Hilichurl King charging towards him in the distance, Shiroki conjured the Corruption Sword in his left hand.
With a casual wave of his hand, a sword aura brimming with "life force" flew towards the Rock Helmet King.
Even the Hilichurl Rockhelmet couldn't last a second under the attack of "Vitality".
A withered body, much larger than any other Hilichurl, appeared there, proving its special status as the Hilichurl Rockhelm King.
...
"Fushe, Senior..."
"Fa Nan, do not say more. There must be a deeper meaning behind your use of this power."
Just as the four Yakshas were talking, Shiraki suddenly turned his gaze to them.
The sudden gaze startled the several yakshas.
For a moment, they all began to suspect that they had seen Bai Mu's secret, and that Bai Mu wanted to silence them because of it.
However, Shiraki only glanced at them before smiling the next second.
"How about I put you in the Dust Song Jar first, and release you after we return to Liyue Harbor?"
Shiraki felt that having several Yakshas floating around him all the time wasn't a good solution, mainly because it was too conspicuous.
Upon hearing this, the several yakshas, as if granted a pardon, all spoke up:
"Whatever you think, senior."
"Yes, yes, senior, you can put us wherever you want."
Hearing the Yakshas say this, Shiraki felt relieved and put them into the Dust Song Pot.
...
After Bai Mu put away the "Record of Cinnabar Rebirth," Ying finally couldn't hold back any longer and spoke again, her expression a mixture of anticipation and hesitation:
"You...I...can I..."
She struggled for a long time, but ultimately couldn't come up with a single sentence that Bai Mu could understand.
Even so, Shiraki could guess what she wanted to express.
After witnessing Shiraki resurrect life, it was obvious what Kage wanted to say.
"Gods are, after all, different from mortals..."
Upon hearing Bai Mu's words, Ying's expression instantly became more dejected than ever before.
Although she had already accepted the fact that her sister was gone, and had anticipated Shiraki's answer.
But when she actually saw the dead come back to life in front of her, and then heard Shiraki's answer, the sense of loss she felt was unimaginable.
"But even if it's a god, I have a way!"
Hearing Shiraki's confident words, Kage's heart, which had been extremely disappointed, suddenly rekindled with hope.
She stared intently at Bai Mu, wanting to hear the answer she was looking for from him.
Looking at Ying's hopeful eyes, Bai Mu hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking:
"As a deity, she has two options for resurrection, and you will have to choose one."
Upon hearing that her older sister could not only be resurrected, but also that there were options for her resurrection, Ying's surprise and delight were palpable.
"Say it quickly."
"Firstly, I can directly revive her."
"However, she is a goddess after all, and I cannot help her rebuild her divine throne."
"After her resurrection, she was just an ordinary person, lacking divinity in both consciousness and body."
Upon hearing this first option, Ying was already tempted.
After all, it would be a blessing if she could be resurrected, so why would she ask for so much more?
"You're already tempted? Don't you want to hear my second proposal?"
Seeing the smiling face on Shiraki's face, Kage forcibly suppressed his inner turmoil and asked:
"Then... what is the second option?"
Even though she tried to restrain herself, Ying couldn't help but feel a little excited while speaking.
"The second one."
"Before that, there's something else I want to ask you."
"Do you have your sister's body?"
Upon hearing Bai Mu's question, Ying immediately nodded.
“I have always buried her body under the cherry tree, and I have always protected it so that it has not shown any signs of decay.”
"That's good."
Bai Mu nodded.
"In that case, the second option is very suitable for her."
"Since you possess her body from her divine days, we can first spread faith for her, solidify her divine throne, and allow her to return as a deity!"
Upon hearing Bai Mu's outrageous words, even the most intelligent Great Tree King present stared at him with his mouth agape in disbelief.
Rebuilding the divine throne would require countless amounts of faith, and given Inazuma's current level of fame, this method is virtually impossible.
She had already perished before the Five Hundred. Even those who still knew of her existence might not have faith in her now, let alone those who knew nothing about her.
While Bai Mu's idea was good, the Great Tree King considered it rather impractical.
