After a while, Tatsuya's state looked better, at least on the surface.
Miyuki looked at Tatsuya with a gentle gaze as tears started falling from her eyes.
Xiao Yu sat beside her and hugged her gently. She had too many questions to ask, but right now, she was just worried.
Miyuki was currently trying to do everything she could to help Tatsuya.
She had been able to figure out a few things in these few minutes. Tatsuya could heal all injuries with Re-growth. But, he could only erase a small part of the total damage. It meant that the damage was being transferred from a different time.
If he didn't have re-growth, he would have died a thousand times over.
At the same time, it made those healing potions and elixirs she used in vain. Their effects were also reset by Re-growth.
She searched the system store, hoping to find something that might help him, but she found nothing.
She whispered, "you can help him, right?"
Xiao Yu thought Miyuki was talking to her; she was flustered, "I can't, I swear, if I could, I would. Trust me!!" She thought Miyuki was a misunderstanding because of the ring.
As if hearing her words, system screen popped up,
#Your partner's rights to control the system is being temporarily shared with you.
Miyuki smiled and placed her hand on Xiao Yu's, "that's ok."
Xiao Yu looked even more worried after seeing her smile, "Miyuki..."
Miyuki was happy because she knew there must be a reason that system shared it with her.
Soon, Tatsuya's system screen appeared in front of her.
#You have achieved an unbelievable feat; Your reward is Replica of Temporal Demon Spirits Book.
#Your reward is being replaced to save you.
#You have been rewarded with - Yang Release, Hollowfication, Perfect Gene Rearrangement Opportunity.
Will you accept it? Y/N
Miyuki smiled through tears and unhesitantly chose yes.
As soon as she clicked yes, Tatsuya's clothes got covered in a pale rainbow-colored light and disappeared. Blood gushed out of Tatsuya with it a white material gushed out and covered Tatsuya in a cocoon. He started to devour Heavenly Energy from the air.
Miyuki took out enough spiritual stones that they filled the whole lawn. She kept taking them out till they reached a meter high.
She was just buying time; she sensed this might not be enough.
A painting appeared in her hand. This was her reward for Main Mission 4. Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountain Painting. It was a priceless artifact. It was a replica of the original created by the system. Inside was an endless mountain range that extended for tens of thousands of miles with slow-flowing rivers between them. It was an ideal location for cultivation.
She went inside and used 20 Billion Coins to buy 20 High-Rank Deity Lakes. After placing those Deity Lakes. She went outside and brought Tatsuya, who was wrapped in the cocoon and settled him inside. In the few minutes it took to arrange all this, most of the spiritual stones outside had become useless.
She couldn't leave Tatsuya outside. The speed at which he was devouring the energy would have attracted too much attention. She couldn't take a risk with his safety.
This time she also brought Xiao Yu inside.
"Where are we?!!" Xiao Yu looked shocked.
Miyuki let out a breath; she had finally calmed down, "this is a space inside the treasure."
Xiao Yu wanted to ask more, but instead, she looked at Tatsuya, "He is going to be fine, right?"
Miyuki wiped her tears before smiling towards Xiao Yu, "he will be all right."
Xiao Yu hesitated; she didn't know if she should ask.
"You want to know what happened?" Miyuki knew it was a question even she wanted to know. She had a guess, but she lacked information.
Xiao Yu nodded; she did want to know.
"I want to know that too." She took Xiao Yu's hand before going outside. Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountain Painting really was a priceless treasure. It was able to cut her connection with her duplicates. It didn't take long before she disappeared from Xiao Yu's courtyard with Xiao Yu, leaving only blue dots behind.
When she and Xiao Yu reappeared, they were in front of the entrance to Tiny World.
Miyuki didn't give Xiao Yu any chance to ask a question; she pulled her inside the channel.
She teleported again once they entered the Tiny World.
Next time, they appeared in front of Nether Master.
Nether Mastered was shocked when he saw Miyuki and Xiao Yu appear in front of him.
"What did you tell him?" Miyuki glared at Nether Master.
Nether looked conflicted; he wanted to say something, but he stopped himself after thinking of Xiao Yu.
"She needs to know, or she would always think that Tatsuya's condition was because of her."
Nether was startled, "Tatsuya's condition?"
"Foster Father, Tatsuya was near death door. It might be related to me." Xiao Yu explained.
"He went to Xiao Yu's past. Maybe to meet the owner of those auras."
"That's impossible," Nether didn't believe it at all.
Miyuki knit her brows, "he has that power."
Nether shook his head, "even if I believe that it is still impossible. Xiao Yu's parents lived millions of years ago."
Xiao Yu was left in a daze; the information was too much for her to accept. The two auras' inside him belonged to her parent? Tatsuya went to meet them? Did they live millions of years ago? Why was she here then? What happened to Tatsuya?
Just when she was in a daze, Miyuki was freaking out.
Her breathing got rougher; she started hyperventilating, 'he went as far back as a million years.' just the thought of him dying terrified her.
Cloud grey haze appeared around her; Nether, who saw it, felt great danger. He went to Xiao Yu before covering themselves with Nether Element.
Xiao Yu was also startled by the sudden change. Nether widened his eyes. His element Nether was getting destroyed if he wasn't in the Nether Realm. He would have been slaughtered.
'He's fine. He's fine. He's fine. He's fine. He's fine. He's fine. He's fine. He's fine. He's fine. He's fine. He's fine. He's fine..." Miyuki repeated to herself before calming down.
When Nether removed the Nether energy, Miyuki had already disappeared.
Nether looked at the place where she stood solemnly before looking at Xiao Yu, "tell me what happened."
Xiao Yu hesitated before started explaining. She also had quite a few questions to ask.
Some time passed,
Nie Li opened his eyes; his head was in immense pain. He looked around only to see Du Ze and Lu Piao were sitting on the ground near his bed and cultivating. As if remembering something, he shouted, "Ziyun!!"
Hearing his shout Du Ze and Lu Piao opened their eyes, "Nie Li!!"
"How are you?!"
"Are you ok?!"
Nie Li shook his head, "Ziyun! How is Ziyun?!"
Du Ze stopped after hearing that; he hesitantly spoke, "She hasn't woken up till now."
Lu Piao nodded like a chicken.
Nie Li frowned in worry, "how long has it been?"
"More than a month, you have been sleeping for more than a month," Lu Piao excitedly spoke. He was happy that Nie Li had woken up.
"More than a month?" Nie Li was astonished. He knew that he had been out for a long time, but he only thought that it had been two or three days, which by itself would be shocking enough. He never imagined that he would have been out for more than a month.
"How is your body?" Lu Piao asked, feeling a little uneasy. Everyone had been worried about it.
Nie Li checked his body, "I am fine." He didn't understand why did he sleep for so long. He touched his chest to check the pages.
"I want to see Ziyun," he hoped he could tell what was going on.
Du Ze and Lu Piao hesitated after hearing Nie Li's request.
Nie Li looked at them, perplexed, "What's wrong?"
They looked at each other; Du Ze spoke, "Some time ago, there was a weird release of energy. There are rumors that Tatsuya disappeared after that. Not long after, Miyuki also disappeared. But, before she left, she placed a defensive inscription array around Ye Ziyun. No one can enter that."
Nie Li grimaced after hearing that. He wondered what could have happened that Tatsuya disappeared, and Miyuki followed after it.
Why did they lay down a protective array around Ziyun?
He widened his eyes; could it be there was a traitor?
Nether Realm,
Demon Lord looked at the person standing in front of him, "Is that information true?"
The person wearing a robe and face covered by a hood replied, "Yes! Both of them had disappeared."
Demon Lord had a broad smile on his face, "Good! You will be rewarded."
The man hesitated before saying, "I just want Ye Ziyun."
"Heh! all this for a woman. Fine, you can have her."
The sun slowly sank as the curtain of night veiled over.
Ning'Er had been taking care of Ziyun after Miyuki left. She was staring at the door. She felt a presence breaking the array and entering.
She didn't know why Tatsuya disappeared or why Miyuki left. The only thing she knew was before Miyuki disappeared, she asked her to take care of Ziyun and guard against Ye Han.
Footsteps kept coming closer,
*Slide*
Looking at the person standing, she widened her eyes and stood up defensively, "It's you!!!"
