Chapter 322 - Hasi Hasi
Time pa.s.sed slowly as the time attribute spiritual fruit continued to grow on the Vine of All Things Absorbed.
At this time, the roots of the Vine of All Things Absorbed had stretched to the entire world; it could, therefore, absorb the law of time at a much faster speed.
This time fruit grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye until it was the size of a fist. It was transparent and exuded a faint rhythm of time, giving off a very dreamy appearance.
However, this fruit was not mature yet and could only continue to acc.u.mulate the law of time.
"Howl!" Oh, no! Ah Bai, he seems about to dissipate! the elf suddenly howled.
Su Bai looked up and saw that the dissipating speed of Ultimate Invincible"s body had suddenly accelerated by a lot.
The spiritual fruit would take a while to mature, and by then, it would be too late.
Can"t I heal him? the elf raised its head and asked. Purple Jade was quite afraid that this Time Ghost friend would completely dissipate before receiving treatment.
"No, in your friend"s current state, any external force applied, even if it"s your healing power, will just end up dissipating him."
Su Bai shook his head. Ultimate Invincible was on the verge of dying, and if not for the fellow"s ghost attribute, it would not have lasted for so long.
"Howl!" Argh! Are we going to just watch him die like this?
The elf was at a loss for a while. It had happily come over to visit this friend but had not expected this to become a possible farewell meeting.
The dino also pulled on Su Bai"s clothes, feeling unbearable. "Roar~" Don"t you have any other remedies?
"Roar~" Do you think that my First Dragon Blood can save him? the dragon asked aloud. His other pets had a good relationship with the elf, so they naturally did not want to see it upset.
"That"s even worse; it"s too weak for that now!" He shook his head.
Hearing this, his pets could help but fall silent. They looked at the Time Ghost, which seemed about to be blown away with one breath, and were at a complete loss.
They usually took pride in themselves for being extremely powerful and taking lives like drinking water; now, they were helpless in front of a life that was about to dissipate.
Especially the wood-attribute Purple Jade, it understood the law of life and might even evolve into the G.o.ddess of Life. Still, it was helpless in this situation, and this made its pride and arrogance disappear all at once.
It turned out that it was so bad that it could not rescue a friend.
Su Bai glanced at the elf and sighed. "Forget it. Let me try this method, but it"s a little risky."
In fact, it was not completely impossible, but the risk of this method was just high, be it for the Time Ghost or himself.
If this failed, the Time Ghost would die directly.
As for him, this would become a stumbling block and hinder his development in the future.
Fortunately, the data of this Time Ghost was very good and its various characteristics were also very powerful.
You have another way? the elf asked in surprise.
"Still, you must prepare for the worst. In the case that I fail to save your friend, then he"ll completely disappear." Su Bai shook his head.
He summoned his contract book and turned over a blank contract page.
A special six-pointed star array composed of the law of life and the law of water lit up, and a ball of light went inside the Time Ghost, which was about to dissipate.
As soon as the ball of light entered its body, before the contract law could even unravel, the body of the Time Ghost flashed, turned into wisps of white smoke, and dissipated.
"Roar!" It failed! whispered the dino in this tense silence.
The elf sighed, feeling very distressed. However, it did not cry or lament this loss, as it would only be useless.
It should have been the one to save lives, but it was currently relying on Ah Bai. Even if he failed, Purple Jade could not blame him.
At this moment, the elf found that it seemed to have a deeper understanding of life. This was an insight that it had never had before. A spa.r.s.e breath of life came from the heavens and the earth, and its realm naturally reached the high-level emperor. The law of life on its body also became stronger.
"Howl!" No, I want to give it a try!
Purple Jade raised the staff and controlled a breath of green life to enter Time Ghost"s body, which had almost completely dissipated.
This was its instant recovery ability, brought by the Undead Tree Heart. After using this, the elf could restore a life instantly even when the patient was seriously injured.
However, this ability only slowed down the dispersing speed of the Time Ghost and did not help to restore its life.
The elf refused to give up, but the Time Ghost continued to dissipate still!
However, because of the elf"s persistence, the contract law incorporated in the ball of light slowly unfolded.
A picture of a monster resembling a Gengar appeared on his blank contract page. It was a sign of the contract"s success.
Unfortunately, soon, this page of the contract book turned gray, meaning that the creature was going to die.
Just when the Time Ghost was about to dissipate, the statue of the Recorder of All Things in his contract book suddenly exuded a water-blue stream and enveloped his contract book.
Immediately afterward, a strong and ancient aura of water radiated from the statue of the mermaid, Recorder of All Things. The entire statue sank into the contract book and seemed to deepen its mark on it.
If it had only been pasted on the contract book before, it was now fully inlaid on it.
With the completion of its embedding, the ancient law of water diffused and penetrated the Time Ghost"s body, which had almost fully dissipated.
Then a miracle happened.
This ancient source of water burst and, unexpectedly, took back the body of the Time Ghost, which had disappeared. It restored it to the original illusory dying point and then completely locked this state, such that it no longer continued to dissipate.
The picture of the Time Ghost was fully formed on the contract page.
Su Bai stared at this scene and was dumbfounded. This was a revival.
It was too impressive!
"Roar!" Was that the strength of the four great creation pets? It"s too formidable!
Little Tyrant also stared at his contract book. Even a mere token had managed to bring a creature back to life. The power of world law was truly formidable.
Death was one of the most unalterable laws in the universe. It represented the dissipation of an individual in various dimensions, such as time and s.p.a.ce.
Resurrecting a lifeform was equivalent to fighting against the irrevocable law, erasing the recorded information and forcibly transforming the state.
Little Blood Dragon: "Roar!" ⊙∀⊙ We"ve really gained new insights today!
Mewling Fox: Σ(゚∀゚ノ)ノ Ahhh, it was so scary!
Purple Jade: Σ(°△°|||)_
The elf and the fox both looked dumbfounded. They already thought that the dust had settled, but it had been forcibly changed.
"Howl!" Ah Bai, you"re amazing!
The elf threw itself into his arms and hugged him for a while, just like a little kitten.
"Haha! It"s mainly the Recorder of All Things" doing."
He could not help but smile happily.
After a moment of excitement, everyone returned to a calm state and waited for the time to mature.
Although the Time Ghost did not continue to lose its time origin, it was still very difficult for it to wake up.
It was necessary to help it restore its origin with the soul of time.
Fortunately, it had met Su Bai, who not only had the Vine of All Things Absorbed but also had the token of the mermaid, Recorder of All Things. Otherwise, it would not have survived this.
With the pa.s.sage of time, the fist-sized spiritual fruit of the time attribute finally matured. It exuded a strong time Tao. Fortunately, it was not discoverable because of the Time Ghost.
Su Bai picked the fruit and walked over to feed the Time Ghost with it. Planet Eye suddenly said, "Reporting to Ah Bai: People are coming! There are three in total. According to my estimation, they should be the person who entered the city from the north."
"Hehe! There really is a treasure here. It"s a time spirit fruit. It"ll be ours today!"
Three seconds after the voice of Planet Eye fell, three golden dragons flew in, landed not far from Su Bai, and surrounded him.
"I didn"t expect that our Golden Dragon Clan would encounter this kind of treasure as soon as we came in. We"ve really struck gold!"
The leading blond man laughed.
"Boy, hand over the things and we"ll give you a way to survive. Don"t you know our Golden Dragon Clan?" a woman with a hooked nose coldly shouted on Su Bai"s left.
"The Golden Dragon Clan? What sh*t is that?"
Su Bai glanced at the blond man and said indifferently, "Kill them. I don"t want to see these people again."
"Onom!"
Following his command, a loud rumbling sound shook the earth, and the Starry Omnivore Kraken appeared behind the blond man.
Just when the blond man felt that something was off and slowly turned his head, a giant mouth had already closed over his head.
"Nooo!"
A faint scream came from inside the kraken"s mouth.
After swallowing one man, it looked at the other man and woman.
The expressions of these two people had completely changed. They were horrified, desperate, and terrified…
"N-No! W-What kind of monster is this!"
The hooked-nosed woman trembled involuntarily. Even a powerful golden dragon had been swallowed by this kraken. Feeling the terrifying aura of the monster, she knelt involuntarily.
G.o.d, what kind of horrible existence had they provoked?
This young man clearly only had low-level emperors, so how did all of these pets become so terrifying all of a sudden?
The other man tried to keep quiet as he concealed his panic. He quietly rode a high-level emperor golden dragon and attempted to flee.
He ran and ran, and the horrible breath behind him dissipated. He finally heaved a sigh of relief, but when he looked up, he realized in horror that he had run into the mouth of the huge monster from moments ago.
He just turned his head and wanted to look back when a strong suctioning force caused him to be swallowed into the kraken"s stomach before he could even scream.
The hooked-nosed woman on the side covered her mouth with her hands, with her eyes wide open and her body as soft as mud.
In this gloomy and depressing atmosphere, especially after experiencing such terror, she had been completely frightened.
Earlier, she had watched as her companion flew straight into the mouth of the huge monster with a weird smile of relief.
"D-Don"t kill me… p-please…"
The sight of the Starry Omnivore Kraken made her scream in terror, but having lost her wits at this point, she did not put up a resistance at all.
However, at this moment of crisis, the golden dragon next to her took a shot by flapping its wings and letting out its breath.
"Onom~"
Instead of avoiding it, Starry Omnivore Kraken opened its mouth wide and swallowed this breath directly. The dragon"s skill could originally destroy a town with a single move, but at this time, it penetrated into a black hole and was left with no sound.
"N-No… I"m from the Golden Dragon Clan!"
The hooked-nose woman stared at Starry Omnivore Kraken"s widening mouth and let out a shrill scream; alas, it only lasted for about a second before she disappeared completely.
"Roar!" These poor people didn"t even know what they just went up against! The dino shook its head pretentiously.
It was impossible for ordinary people to think that while these pets seemed like emperors on the surface, they actually had sovereign-level might and had almost no opponents under the sovereign realm.
Su Bai did not care much. What this so-called Golden Dragon Clan owned were just some rubbish Blood Giant Dragons, so there was no way that those people could compare with Yulong Gymnasium.
It could be seen that the dragons were only a few hundred meters in size.
The size of a real dragon was calculated in kilometers.
Those trash dragons dared to wave an axe in front of him; they were simply looking for death.
"Okay, Mewling, 1314, keep an eye on our surroundings. Kill anyone whom you don"t know the worth of," Su Bai said calmly.
He could not reason logically with many people because they always felt that they were particularly strong and wanted to bully anyone who appeared weaker than themselves.
No longer paying attention to the outside matters, he fused the time fruit in his hand with the Time Ghost"s body.
This spiritual fruit, which had absorbed the rich time law of this world, had reached high-level sovereign grade. Hence, it contained a lot of Tao.
After putting it into the Time Ghost"s mouth, the fruit soon became a stream of energy which spread throughout Ultimate Invincible"s body.
Because of the mermaid, Recorder of All Things, all the energy did not spill as it circulated inside Time Ghost"s body.
Over time, its body slowly returned to a peculiar white color from being transparent and its breath gradually grew stronger.
"Jade, use your treatment skills now; it"ll recover quickly if we use a two-p.r.o.nged approach," he instructed.
"Howl~" I understand.
Nodding, the elf immediately took out the most powerful treatment in its skill tree.
Under the two-p.r.o.nged approach, Time Ghost recovered quickly.
In fact, Su Bai"s original method of treating it was to use his summoner life-sharing skill so that all pets could help it share the damage.
However, it was so weak that it could not even bear being contracted. Fortunately, after the mermaid Recorder of All Things" help, all of this had been perfectly resolved.
After more than three hours, the breath of Time Ghost returned to low-level sovereign and it was no longer in danger of dying.
Once the elf stopped its treatment, Time Ghost floated there quietly, seemingly fast asleep.
Su Bai examined it and found that the problem was basically solved now. Still, it had to go to the original vestige. The plundering of it by that vestige had been reduced by 90% because of the mermaid Recorder of All Things, but it was still continuing.
Seeing this refinement of the attributes at this time, he could not help but smile. Thankfully, his efforts had not been in vain.

*****
Looking at this fellow"s data panel, Su Bai felt that there was really nothing to fault. This was a G.o.dly pet.
It was not in vain that he had spent so much energy saving it.
"Hasi!"
At this time, the Time Ghost finally woke up and let out a lovely cry.
It looked at Su Bai with a big smile, then flew over, and rubbed his arm. The fellow knew it had been saved by him, so it kept expressing its grat.i.tude to him.
It was very affectionate with him as if it were a cutie that he had cultivated since childhood.
"Hahaha! Don"t just thank me; thank Purple Jade as well. Because of her, I managed to find and save you."
Su Bai caressed the fellow"s head. Although this was a ghost, it was still tangible when it was not in the state of nothingness.
Time Ghost felt cold to the touch and its texture was like a balloon filled with cold water. It was too comfortable to touch, so he could not help but keep caressing it.
"Hasi!"
It flew out of his arms, flew to the elf, and circled around the other, communicating constantly with it.
"Howl~" That"s right! I"m Purple Jade; I came here to see you specially.
Purple Jade smiled and happily shook hands with Time Ghost.
"Hasi, hasi!"
Ultimate Invincible held the elf"s hand gratefully and licked it with its big tongue.
