Star Domain Sacred Hall! Can't you reverse life and death without becoming a god?!

As countless citizens on the Douluo Continent worried about the future fate of Huo Yuhao and Huo Yun'er, on the celestial screen, everything continued at its unhurried pace.

["You're saying this is... the Sacred Hall?" A faint light flickered in Huo Yuhao's dazed eyes, but it quickly dimmed. He picked up his wine glass and took a large gulp, choking and coughing.

"Everyone who comes to the Sacred Hall has an unforgettable story," the man said, raising his eyebrows in a gentle tone. "For people like us, the Sacred Hall is a place of redemption where miracles are shaped."

"Protecting others and redeeming oneself, this is the meaning of the Sacred Hall's existence."

"Can the Sacred Hall redeem someone who is already dead?" Huo Yuhao asked.

His eyes were red, whether from the alcohol or from sadness, he didn't know.

"That depends," the man said calmly. "Bringing the deceased back to life is not a simple matter."

"Saving someone who has just died is the easiest, but even the simplest resurrection spell is not something ordinary mages can cast."

Huo Yuhao's hand, gripping the wine glass, trembled, and the remaining wine splashed out.

Hope flared in his eyes again, and he looked at the man with an intensity that almost burned.

"Sir... no, Master, can you help me? I am willing to pay any price!" Huo Yuhao pleaded sincerely.

"Actually, you don't need to..." the man said with a slight smile. "The fact that you've entered the Sacred Hall means you have the qualification to become one of us."

"But I must tell you, my strength is limited. I can help you once, for the sake of a future companion."

"The condition is that the person you wish to revive must not have been dead for more than seven days, and it can only be one person at most."

"Seven days..." Huo Yuhao froze, a wave of immense loss and pain washing over him.

The man easily saw this and shook his head slightly. "I'm sorry, I told you, my strength is limited."

"Wait!" Huo Yuhao suddenly remembered something and looked up sharply. "I saw some members of the Sacred Hall in the Extreme North before..."

"So you were the youth from the Extreme North two years ago?" A flicker of understanding flashed in the man's eyes. "The members of the Sacred Hall are not many compared to the areas we need to protect."

"Our members are distributed in different Sacred Halls throughout the entire star domain. Unless there's a special mission, we don't usually gather."

"Although if you choose to join, you will go to the Core Sacred Hall for training as a newcomer and be able to interact with higher-level mages, reviving someone who has been dead for more than seven days would at least require the Masters to act."

"However, it's impossible for the Masters to agree, no matter what price you're willing to pay."

"Why?!" Huo Yuhao hurriedly pressed.

"Because our existence, or rather the existence of the Sacred Hall, is to protect the order of the universe, not to disrupt it," the man said calmly.

"People who have been dead for more than seven days enter the Kingdom of the Dead and become part of the natural cycle of the universe. The Masters will not cross the rules and step into the Kingdom of the Dead to save one person."

"I understand." Huo Yuhao didn't show any more dejection upon hearing this.

The man looked at him with slight surprise, seeming to guess his thoughts. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately didn't. Instead, he stood up and said to Huo Yuhao, "Let's go, I'll show you around the Sacred Hall."

The man led Huo Yuhao past the small hut, pushed open a low wooden door behind it, and entered a building complex with an ancient, classical style that was vastly different from the Douluo Continent's architectural style.

After they had toured the not-so-large interior of the Sacred Hall, the man brought Huo Yuhao to the largest main hall.

This place was filled with a distant and ancient mystical aura. In the center of the main hall, the illusion of a blue planet floated, its outer layer enveloped by a faint golden light shield.

"This is the Douluo Star Dimensional Defense Core, and it's also one of the nodes of the Agomotto Dimensional Array. Our usual work is to guard this place and prevent Outer Dimensional Beings from invading reality."

"I am the resident mage of the Sacred Hall on Douluo Star. You can call me Master Mordo."

Huo Yuhao perked up and asked, "Outer Dimensional Beings, do you mean those monsters that appeared in the Extreme North before? And what is the Agomotto Dimensional Array?"

"You'll learn about these gradually when you go to the Core Sacred Hall," Mordo said with a gentle smile. "What you need to do next is to rest well and decide whether you want to become one of us after you've calmed down completely."

After speaking, Master Mordo summoned a mage who looked to be in his thirties, also wearing special robes, and took Huo Yuhao to his resting place.

When Huo Yuhao was alone again, Tian Meng and the Ice Empress, who had been silent and hidden in his Sea of Consciousness, finally relaxed a little.

"Yuhao, are you going to join this Sacred Hall?" Tian Meng asked.

"Of course," Huo Yuhao sighed softly. "My original plan has failed, and now the Sacred Hall is my only hope."

"Even if that Master Mordo said the Masters couldn't help, if I work hard myself, I believe I can reach the Masters' realm..."

The Ice Empress said with some worry, "But Elder Yi said that if it's been over three years, even Gods can't revive someone anymore, right? Yuhao, you..."

Tian Meng chimed in, "Yuhao, life must move forward. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"I've seen all your efforts and sacrifices over these years. I believe even if your mother is in heaven, she wouldn't want you to continue to be so obsessed..."

Huo Yuhao interrupted them, his gaze piercing through the windowpane and landing on the distant end of the galaxy. He asked in a low voice, "Ice Empress, Brother Tian Meng, do you still remember the little girl we met when we first left the Extreme North?"

"That little girl surnamed Mo?" the Ice Empress recalled.

"Yes," Huo Yuhao said, a hint of memory in his eyes. "She asked me then, if you don't have Innate Soul Power, can you really not become a Soul Master?"

"At that time, I also wanted to ask: if you don't have the power of a God, can you really not reverse life and death?"

In the silence, a certain power grew in the depths of his soul: "Back then, I told that girl that you can become a Soul Master even without Innate Soul Power! The Mysterious Heaven Skill can open the door to cultivation."

"And now, I've also found the answer I was looking for... Without the Authority of Gods, the power of the Guardian Mages can also bring the deceased back to life!"

"This means there is no dead end in this world! Even a life lost three years ago may still have a chance to be retrieved!"

"As long as I can become excellent enough! Powerful enough, then one day, I will definitely be able to retrieve my regrets!"

"I will definitely use my own hands to snatch back my mother's Chenxi from the torrent of laws!"]
