At once, a very bright golden light shone. The grievous energy in the surroundings started rushing into Yun Heng's body wildly as if they were pulled by some unknown force. And an almost transparent soul floated directly out of the grievous energy, rising slowly into the golden array on top.
From Yun Heng's body, dots of light of soul also started floating out. They converged upon the soul in on the top. Song Ren's soul which were almost transparent due to the effect of grievous energy, started materializing in visible speed. Bits of red blood Qi also started condensing towards the other body. That materialized soul body immediately had some livelihood, finally changing back from ghost soul to live soul.
Only then did Yun Heng's hand stop. Apparently his whole body was almost surrounded by grievous energy, yet a hint of a smile showed at the corner of his mouth."And... I'm sorry!"
The grievous energy upon his body was immediately purified, and his whole figure started disappearing. In the next moment, he completely disappeared. Only bits of fire-like light floated out.
Lonemoon produced a seal to keep the only bit of remnant soul Yun Heng had left. He sighed. This time, he didn't know how long he'd have to stay in the River of Forgetfulness, before he could have a chance of reincarnation.
Yi Qing also produced a seal, towards Song Ren, who already changed back into a live soul in the air. In the next instant, the materialize soul changed into a light ball and flew into his palm.
"This live soul, what do you intend to do with it?" asked Lonemoon. Though Song Ren had changed back to a live soul, his body was already devoured by deviant ghosts and his soul couldn't return to the body. Before long, he would turn back to a ghost soul.
"Father Niu, do you still have Radish's dandelions with you?" Yi Qing suddenly asked.
"You're still using dandelions!" Lonemoon's eyes opened wide. Isn't this taste a bit heavy? Is it not enough to have one back at home?
"He was attached to Radish's flower previously and his soul already had his immortal qi. So it is best to use that as his formed body. Besides, the situation at the moment did not allow them to think for new methods, or Yun Heng's efforts would be wasted.
The corner of Lonemoon's mouth twitched, but he still dug out one from the storage bag beside his body and handed it over.
Yi Qing produced an array-setting seal immediately. Soon, a human shape slowly materialized in the array. He placed the live soul in his hand into the array, and within a short while, the light from the array died down, and a person appeared on the ground. As compared to the previous look which was similar to Radish, the human figure this time was completely identical to him. Only that as he was just reborn, he still couldn't wake up in a moment.
"Done!" Shen Ying clapped her hands."We can go home and eat now."
"Get back!" Lonemoon reached out and caught a certain person who was just about to escape. He pointed towards the misplaced River of Forgetfulness in the air and the sky full of Yin Qi."You call this 'done'?"
"Father Niu..."
"Shut up." Lonemoon gave her a stare."Before this River of Forgetfulness recovers, don't any of you want to run."
"Oh my! That's so troublesome..."
"What troublesome! Nobody asked you to do it. You just stay here and don't f*cking go running around." With that said, he glanced at Yi Qing beside him."Chef, you get Little Shortie to come and help."
"Hmm." Yi Qing nodded, directly taking out the transmission amulet.
Lonemoon made another glance at the River of Forgetfulness which went messily in all directions around them like hanged noodles. Immediately he felt his headache worsened. Plane cracks was something that even Godfiend back then could only seal temporarily relying on help from Hong Meng's group from another plane. Yun Heng was, after all, just a mortal. If the matter could be solved by only his soul-sacrificing, they wouldn't have looked for a Manager everywhere so anxiously. Yun Heng merely used the force of the River of Forgetfulness to cover it up temporarily, but the crack had always been there. This cover was very fragile besides, and the crack would reappear before long.
And due to him forcefully using the River of Forgetfulness, he caused chaos of the River of Forgetfulness in this world, and disturbed Samsara in this world. Therefore, a chasm allowing entering but not exit was formed here.
Besides, this River of Forgetfulness was a small portion stemmed from the mainstream of the small world, which meant that half of the souls which went past here may be forcefully stuck here. What's more, because of the distortion of the River of Forgetfulness, they soul may collapse and become remnant souls. And their numbers kept increasing. The Northern Land was probably formed like this.
Though remnant souls had no consciousness, they would instinctively want to return to the River of Forgetfulness. That was why the remnant souls would attack the mortal realm wildly. Because only the River of Forgetfulness there could allow them to re-enter Samsara. Yet they were actually intercepted by unknowing Mystic cultivators and prevented from entering. Not being able to reincarnate, nor to return to the River of Forgetfulness, no wonder they would produce grievous energy and become so violent as to eat humans.
The only solution was to return the River of Forgetfulness to its original state, send all remnant souls back into Samsara, and most importantly, fix that plane crack.
But there were really too many faults with the River of Forgetfulness here, and they were messily scattered everywhere. Even with Little Shortie here, him and Yi Qing took a long time to slowly pull back those messed-up rivers.
Yes, two people. Not including a certain troublesome person who watched like in a movie while eating snacks the whole time.
"Oh. Don't I have to keep an eye on Rotten Ghost? He's not awake yet. What if he gets rotten again?" said Shen Ying in all seriousness.
The corner of Lonemoon's mouth twitched. Aren't you just f*cking lazy! Song Ren is already reborn and not a ghost anymore. How on earth can he still get rotten?
"It's already done." Before Lonemoon could bust out, Yi Qing dragged the last section of the River of Forgetfulness back to its original position, and the whole river was finally restored, and it started flowing once more.
Little Shortie at the side waved a hand towards a sky full of Yin Qi. Her being Meng Po after all, countless light dots appeared instantly. Thousands of stuck remnant souls all returned to the River. The Yin Qi dissipated completely. As if thick clouds were cleared, very bright sunlight suddenly covered them. The Northern Land which was originally so dark that even the sun and the sky could not be seen lit up completely in a moment. Though it was still a barren land, the dark aura of earlier was gone.
And bits of Spirit Qi appeared in the air. Upon thinking carefully, it was in fact normal. Looking at Yun Heng's first life in the illusion, one could realize that the Spirit Qi of this small world wasn't much lesser than that of other small worlds. Yet with the plane crack that appeared later, combined with the messing up of the River of Forgetfulness, this world was affected. That was why its Spirit Qi grew ever thinner and eventually severing the heritage of cultivators.
Right now, with the restoration of the River of Forgetfulness, Spirit Qi would naturally return. Just that...
He looked up. In the next instant, there was indeed a distortion in the air, and a pitch-black hole suddenly appeared, as thought the sky was torn apart.
He subconsciously turned to look at a certain foodie beside him. Yet he saw her making an encouraging gesture with cupped fists."Go on, Father Niu!" You can do it!
"Get lost!" You just don't want to do it yourself.
Upon careful recollection of that assistant guide book which he spent months to look through, he indeed wanted to give it a try."Chef, you take the left, I take the right. Let's try Sky-Repairing Array."
Yi Qing nodded and turned to fly towards the left. Lonemoon flew towards the right. The two activated the array at the same time, while directly turning on assistant authority. Indeed, in the next moment, a wave of unknown power went through his body, and then flowed into the array.
He saw that pitch-black hole in the middle starting to shrink smaller and smaller. Within the time of eating half a fruit, that black hole had completely disappeared, together with its violent sucking force.
