"What’s the solution?" Sang Luo asked him, her words rushed.
Fei Yuan said, "His Life Soul Bone has been destroyed in this era. That’s an irreversible fact. The only way... is to go back to the past, find the Life Soul Bone from before it was destroyed, and bring it back here."
Sang Luo, "Huh?"
Realization dawned on Quan Jin. He frowned, displeased. "Are you referring to the Ti Law talent?"
Fei Yuan nodded. "Yes. A Beastman with the Ti Rule talent can freely traverse the river of ti. Minos’s Ti Rule is only a fragnt. He can manipulate a person’s past and future tilines, but he can’t break through the ti barrier. But Luoluo is different. She isn’t from this world to begin with, so the ti barrier is useless against her. Theoretically, she can travel to past tilines."
"..." ’I thought I’d hidden my identity well enough,’ Sang Luo thought. ’But it turns out they all figured it out long ago.’
She refused to believe this group of Beast Husbands hadn’t been holding secret etings behind her back.
Sang Luo pursed her lips. "Minos never told about this."
Fei Yuan shook his head gently. "If I could think of this solution, there’s no way Minos didn’t know about it. He just didn’t want you to take the risk. Ti is filled with unknowns and uncertainty; even he couldn’t predict the outco."
He continued, "In this age, no one has ever attempted this before. If you really want to try this thod, you’ll essentially be a test subject with no prior data to go on. No one can guarantee you’ll make it back alive. If you fail, not only will we be unable to save him, but we’ll lose you as well. That’s the last thing any of us want to see."
Quan Jin shot him a glare. ’Then why did you bring it up?!’
Fei Yuan sighed to himself. He had considered keeping this from Luo’er, but it pained him to see her so dejected and listless every day. In the end, he couldn’t stop himself from telling her, deciding to let her make the final decision.
After a mont of thought, Sang Luo nodded. "I’m willing to try. But Minos said the Power of Space-Ti is too imnse. I can only use this power after reaching the Venerable Realm."
"We have one month at most before Cruise completely takes over Minos’s body," Quan Jin said slowly.
’One month...’ She was already at the Late Stage Emperor Rank. On the surface, she was only a single step away from the Venerable Realm. In reality, however, every major breakthrough was exceptionally difficult, requiring a feedback of power ten tis greater than the last one.
It would be difficult for her to find a Beast Husband more powerful than Minos and the others. Even finding another one at the sa rank would be far from enough.
And as for having children with her Beast Husbands, who knew how many that would take.
Sang Luo shook her head. There simply wasn’t enough ti.
Unless... she could find a pure-blooded Divine Beast.
But there were no longer any Divine Beasts in this age.
"Mommy, I want to go back to the space to play," Little Rose’s voice interrupted her thoughts.
Sang Luo ruffled her little head. "What’s so fun in there? I thought you found it boring."
Little Apple chid in, "Mommy bought lots of strange and curious things in the city. Big Sis and I were playing with them because we were bored. That Nine Nether Tower is pretty fun! It has a lot of cool stuff inside. We’ve already made it to the fourth floor, and we want to keep going."
"Alright, Mommy will let you two go back and play." Sang Luo sent the two children back into her space.
Little Apple undid the seal on the Nine Nether Tower. What was once a palm-sized model transford into a giant tower dozens of ters high.
Each floor of the tower had a gray Crystal Stone. Upon clearing a floor and reaching the one above, its crystal would begin to glow.
Currently, the first four Crystal Stones of the Nine Nether Tower were lit, while the remaining six were still gray. The higher they climbed, the more difficult the challenges beca, but the rewards also grew more generous.
"Big Sis, sothing’s happened to Daddy, hasn’t it?" Little Apple said with worry in his voice.
Little Rose nodded. "Mommy and our uncles don’t want to tell us."
"Daddy’s in the Lost City. I sensed his presence there, and it felt very bad."
"That’s where the Fallen Angels stay."
"How could Daddy beco a Fallen Angel?" Little Apple’s voice was filled with worry. "No wonder he’s been in seclusion so often these past few months. We’ve barely seen him at all..."
Sang Luo had been too anxious to speak privately, so the two children had overheard everything and guessed what was happening.
The two Little Angels were young, but they understood more than enough. They didn’t ask any more questions about their daddy’s whereabouts, simply falling silent.
Little Rose flapped her snowy, delicate wings and flew into the tower. "Mommy and our uncles will definitely do their best to save Daddy. Let’s go search inside the tower and see if we can find anything useful to help them."
"Okay." Little Apple flapped his wings with so difficulty and followed her in.
...
Since Cruise might co to the Void Demon Realm to cause trouble and seek revenge, Quan Jin returned there first.
Fei Yuan had the kitchens prepare a pot of chicken soup to help Sang Luo regain her strength.
Sang Luo obediently finished two large bowls of the soup. Her emotions seed relatively stable.
She wiped her mouth. "Isn’t it almost ti for your visit to the Priests?"
"Yes, it’s the day after tomorrow. So many years have passed... My attendance has been sporadic. I usually only go once every few years. Cang Qian sends a special invitation when he wants to hold a grand ritual, but he hasn’t sent one this year..." Realization dawned, and his phoenix eyes widened. "Little Luoruo! You can’t be thinking—!"
"I rember you once said that your master is the only remaining Divine Beast in this age."
His life is not yet over, so he isn’t truly dead. As long as his soul can be recalled, there’s a chance he can awaken.
’In all the years I was by his side, I truly never saw any females near him. He was very ascetic, untainted by worldly affairs.’
The Beast God High Priest had lived for who knows how many years. It was possible he’d had a partner who died young, causing him to seal away his heart.
’Whatever the case, I have to bring him back to life first.’
"Send a letter to the Northern Beast Emperor. I want to go with you this year. I wonder if he’ll still let in."
Fei Yuan stared at her for a long mont before letting out a sigh of resignation. "Fine."
He went to his study and quickly wrote a letter. A Sky ssenger Pigeon with red claws and a red beak flew in through the window. It was a rare Spirit Beast used exclusively for delivering ssages, capable of flying thousands upon thousands of miles in just half an hour. It was guaranteed to reach the master it was bonded to by blood, preventing any chance of interception.
That afternoon, they received a reply.
After getting ready, Fei Yuan took Sang Luo to the North Territory, where they arrived at the Ice Palace.
"Long ti no see. I’ve prepared so fine wine to welco you both," Cang Qian said with a smile.
He didn’t ntion the unpleasantness of their last encounter. His gaze fell upon Sang Luo, a hidden heat within it that made Fei Yuan extrely displeased.
Rembering the purpose of their visit, Fei Yuan put on his usual roguish smile. "I have a matter I’d like to discuss with you, Senior Brother."
"Oh? What is it? Why don’t you co inside and we can discuss it in detail."
"My thoughts exactly."
Fei Yuan successfully stalled Cang Qian.
Sang Luo was far more cautious this ti. She left a Clone behind to take her place with the two n, providing cover for her true self. Following the path she had scouted out last ti, she navigated a few twists and turns before finding the ice grotto.
There, she saw the person in the Ice Coffin...
