"About how long before the ancestor's soul completely dissipates?" Seeing that the resurrection process was about to begin, I asked the crucial question.

"I'm not sure," Tawell answered frankly. "Because no soul response has been detected so far, even if the Ancestor Spirit still exists, it is in an unmeasurable state—we can't make any inference about something we can't detect. But under the most ideal circumstances, if the Ancestor Spirit is at an unmeasurable Critical Point, then we have at most twenty-four hours."

Twenty-four hours... We had to try every feasible resurrection method within that single day. If we failed, then resurrecting the ancestor's body afterward would be meaningless. This was truly urgent.

Sandora and Tawell had already explained all the problems they had encountered and might encounter in the resurrection plan. Seeing that they were ready to begin, I couldn't help asking, "So, what can I do to help?"

I felt that Sandora must have had a reason for calling me over in such a hurry. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Nothing—I just wanted you here to watch. Whether the first experiment succeeds or fails, this is a historic moment. You should be a witness..."

Me: "..."

"There's one more thing. If you're beside me, I'll feel more at ease."

Only then did I let out a breath.

Naturally, the first experiment couldn't use all the Ancestor Remains. Only one of them would be used for the resurrection, so even if it failed, we would have another chance to try. Of course, if possible, everyone hoped it would succeed the first time. After learning about all the possible complications in the resurrection process, I felt that if the first attempt failed, no number of later attempts would have much chance of finding another viable solution.
