"Ssssh~"
Countless branches and leaves spread apart.
Pu Shan floated in the air, his body utterly battered, but the Life Core within him remained intact.
For Domain Lords and World Lords, the body was no longer a weakness. Even if their brains were destroyed, they would not die. Only the destruction of the Life Core within them counted as true death.
"Is he asleep?"
"Or is he pretending?"
With a thought, another Cloud-Touching Vine emerged from the World Ring and transformed into armor.
At the same time,
the Cloud-Touching Vine enveloping the planet brought Pu Shan before the spaceship. After scanning him, the system confirmed that the torment had forced Pu Shan into a self-induced spiritual slumber.
"Beep!"
The display showed that the scan was clear.
"Good."
The hatch opened, and Han Han approached Pu Shan. Even asleep, Pu Shan radiated a terrifying pressure.
"Hum~"
Soul Capture activated.
Since Han Han had chosen to include some of the insights when he acquired it, he had already reached the entry level. He didn't need to study it further and could enslave Pu Shan right away.
There was no resistance at all. His mental power surged straight in.
"Done!"
With a thought, Han Han put Pu Shan into the World Ring. The Cloud-Touching Vine quickly shrank as well.
He piloted the spaceship to a secluded spot in the star system.
About half an hour later,
immersed in Locke Divine Water, Pu Shan gradually emerged from his slumber. His injuries healed rapidly, and he even grew somewhat stronger than before.
"Pu Shan," Han Han said.
Hearing another voice, Pu Shan instinctively looked over. When he saw Han Han, reverence welled up from the depths of his soul. He promptly knelt and bowed. "Master."
