"Is the injury serious?" As Yu Jiasheng left, Xiao Mu immediately turned to face Zhao Yaogu.
"The situation is not looking good!" Zhao Yaogu's previously smiling face abruptly lost its cheer, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. The Divine Power of the door god emanated from him, and faint black and blue colors appeared on his face and body.
Above his head, the Illusion of the Reincarnation Seal nearly became substantial. The Whirlpool of Resurgence, a dark and continuously swirling vortex, appeared behind Zhao Yaogu, inching closer and closer to him. It seemed like it could engulf Zhao Yaogu at any moment.
The aura of Reincarnation spread all over Zhao Yaogu's body, and the black and blue colors began corroding; starting from the head, they spread down to his feet. Zhao Yaogu's hair began to fall out, with pieces of scalp dropping from the roots.
"I didn't expect to be affected, the power of Reincarnation is too horrifying. It's too late to be saved, not even the power of the Reincarnation Mirror can switch the past and present anymore. Brother Xiao, I need to immediately return to the healing center in the Dalin Abyss for the Divine Spirits of the Reincarnation System to help treat me, hoping that there is still time."
Swearing and cursing, Zhao Yaogu gave Xiao Mu a clasped fist salute, then reached out to condense a golden staff more than two meters long.
Zhao Yaogu held the staff horizontally to prevent the Whirlpool of Resurgence from eroding his consciousness. Then a Yellow Light from the Earth Escape Technique sparked under his feet, as he prepared to return to the Dalin Abyss using the technique.
Just as the Escape Art began, his legs gave out, and his figure swayed, plummeting to the ground.
The Power of Reincarnation spreading through his body even affected his ability to execute the Escape Technique.
"Damn this Power of Reincarnation, I, Old Zhao, refuse to believe this curse, that being affected by the Power of Reincarnation one can't use the Escape Art. Don't help me, Brother Xiao, I can managed on my own."
Zhao Yaogu got up, swearing and cursing, and waved at Xiao Mu, as if he didn't need any assistance at all.
"Enough, Old Zhao, stop pretending, I know how strong the Power of Reincarnation is."
Xiao Mu looked at Zhao Yaogu with a smile, "I have to say, you're lucky to have run into me. Rest assured, you won't die, at least not on my watch."
"I wouldn't have died anyway..." Zhao Yaogu stubbornly retorted Xiao Mu, but his voice grew weaker and weaker.
Crack!
Seizing the opportunity, Xiao Mu enveloped Zhao Yaogu in a sphere of Creation Light. The power of Creation wrapped around Zhao Yaogu, forming a shallow, semi-transparent, grey-white protective barrier, isolating the Reincarnation. Neither the Whirlpool of Resurgence nor the Reincarnation Seal could break through the Creation Power to continue their relentless attack, at least for the moment.
"Truly the power of Creation, thank you!" Zhao Yaogu gave Xiao Mu a clasped fist salute, and after expressing his gratitude, he activated the Escape Technique to dart to the healing center in the Dalin Abyss.
Xiao Mu pondered for a moment and also activated the Escape Technique, following Zhao Yaogu to the healing center.
The Dalin Abyss is one of the Stations of the Human world's Mutated Beings in Twilight Forest Village. Zhou Xuanmen was stationed there, and thus, neither Lord of the Nether River nor Divine Monarch Guobao dared to easily show up in that place.
"Xiao Xiao, what brings you here? Did Little Zhao get injured, affected by the Power of Reincarnation?"
Zhou Xuanmen was quite surprised by Xiao Mu's arrival but immediately noticed the injuries on Zhao Yaogu, "Follow me."
With that, he flashed forward, reaching out to grab Zhao Yaogu's shoulder. A Cursed Cloud rose under his feet, and Zhou Xuanmen, holding onto Zhao Yaogu, flew towards the healing center behind the station.
Xiao Mu enviously watched Zhou Xuanmen's figure and then used the Five-in-One Escape to rush to the healing center.
By the time he arrived at the healing center, Mutated Beings from the Reincarnation System had already begun treating Zhao Yaogu.
The healing Mutated Being from the Reincarnation System was a man in his forties with a black face and an efficient appearance, radiating the fluctuating aura of Divine Spirits, holding the position of a Netherlord.
The efficient Netherlord examined Zhao Yaogu's condition before immediately proceeding with the emergency treatment. As the silhouette of the Netherlord appeared above him, the Reincarnation Destiny Points on his body lit up, and the Reincarnation Seal manifested deep within the Destiny Points. The Brilliance of Reincarnation emerged from the Mysterious Ancient Well, striking Zhao Yaogu.
Deep within the Destiny Point, the Reincarnation Seal slowly rotated, and with the turning of the seal, the Brilliance of Resurgence gradually absorbed the Power of Reincarnation from Zhao Yaogu's body.
This condition persisted for two or three hours before the black-faced and efficient Netherlord, drenched in sweat, finally breathed a sigh of relief and stopped the emergency treatment.
At this moment, the dark cyan reincarnation force on Zhao Yaogu's body had greatly diminished, with no further tendency to spread.
The whirlpool of reincarnation also stopped, no longer devouring Zhao Yaogu.
"Long Whale, can he be healed completely?" Zhou Xuanmen asked about Zhao Yaogu's condition after seeing the efficient Netherlord halt his actions.
"Fortunately, he was brought in time. Hanging for a while should do the trick." Long Whale responded to Zhou Xuanmen while readjusting his breath and casually consumed several high-level energy fruits.
Zhou Xuanmen nodded and instructed, "It's good that he can be saved. Xiao Zhao is also one of our main forces; we cannot afford him any mishaps."
"Thank you, Grand Elder, for your concern. Your words make me feel that my work has not been in vain," Zhao Yaogu said, bursting into a big laugh.
"Zhao Yaogu's situation is very manageable." Long Whale replied while extending his hands. Under the coverage of the Netherlord's presence, true power began to gather, and a thin, transparent thread gradually took shape in his hands.
This thread was extremely long and fine, similar in appearance to a fishing line, except it was transparent. Holding the thread, Long Whale funneled a cluster of the power of reincarnation into it, and the thread flew straight up, reaching into the clouds high in the sky.
Long Whale held the other end of the thread and pressed it onto the back of Zhao Yaogu's head. The thread adhered to the spot, and as it gradually ascended, Zhao Yaogu was hoisted up, stopping at a height equivalent to two storys, his feet dangling in the air.
Xiao Mu had been quietly observing, paying close attention to Long Whale's actions, and hadn't spoken a word. He had heard about such authoritarian healing methods, but it was his first time witnessing them.
Judging from the process of Long Whale's treatment of Zhao Yaogu, the damage inflicted by authoritarian power was even more severe than he had imagined. For most people, once harmed by someone else's use of authoritarian power, death was likely the only path.
"How suffocating; it's like being a hanged ghost. Can't I come down?"
Zhao Yaogu's feet hung in the air as he grumbled discontentedly about his current situation.
"If you're not afraid of dying, then come down. But don't blame me for not warning you: touch the ground and you'll die, even the Heavenly God cannot save you," Long Whale coldly replied.
Zhao Yaogu's face darkened, stubbornly retorting, "Just hang then, hang. Why scare people like that?"
Zhou Xuanmen looked at Long Whale, "Long Whale, how long does he have to hang before he's healed?"
Hearing this, Zhao Yaogu quickly looked down at Long Whale, eager to hear what he had to say.
Long Whale did not look up, indifferently saying, "Three to five days, I guess. It depends on his own control over the authoritarian power. The stronger the control, the shorter the time needed; the weaker the control, the longer it will take."
"My control over the door god's authoritarian power isn't weak; does that mean I can be done in three days?" Zhao Yaogu asked hastily, and as he moved, the transparent thread that was suspending him swayed.
"If I were you, I would shut up and focus on managing my own authoritarian power to counter the reincarnation, striving to get rid of the troubles of reincarnation as soon as possible, instead of wasting time speaking meaningless words."
Long Whale looked up at Zhao Yaogu with an indifferent gaze and said emotionlessly.
"Forget it, I give up." Zhao Yaogu's face darkened again, and he chose to keep his mouth shut and stopped talking.
"Long Whale, let me introduce you to someone. This is Xiao Mu, Xiao Xiao."
Zhou Xuanmen kindly introduced Xiao Mu to Long Whale, "Xiao Xiao, this is Xu Changjing, a talented individual from Headquarters. Although Xu is a Divine Spirit of the reincarnation system and also a Netherlord, he doesn't focus on combat but rather serves in support, with his main task being to assist our injured Mutated Beings."
"Brother Xu, nice to meet you."
Xiao Mu greeted Xu Changjing with a bow, expressing admiration, "I've heard that Headquarters has a group of Divine Spirits specializing in lifesaving techniques. It's a pleasure to finally meet one today!"
"I've heard of you, a talent from the Great Tang Ruins."
Xu Changjing's face showed not a hint of a smile, and his tone was flat, bereft of praise, "The reason Brother Xiao has not seen us before is that destiny had not yet descended upon the human world, and the power of Heavenly Dao could not truly manifest in the human world. People who were injured did not need our healing."
