Resurrecting Ah Yin

"What if I insist on dealing with them?"

Lin Yue continued to grip Ah Yin with his right hand, asking with cold, ruthless indifference.

If Master insists, Ah Yin will obey Master in everything.

Ah Yin's reply came without a hint of hesitation, though the sorrow and grief in her tone were impossible to conceal.

"Let me tell you a truth; perhaps then you won't be so conflicted."

"The current Tang San is no longer your son. Not long after he was born, his body was seized by someone else!"

Lin Yue was satisfied with Ah Yin's response, so he decided to reward her with the truth.

What did you say?

Tang San is not my son?

Hearing Lin Yue's words, Ah Yin was instantly stunned.

"That's right. Inside your son's body, a stranger's soul has been residing for a long time."

"It is just like when some spirit masters fail to absorb a spirit ring, unable to withstand the soul shock, and end up being possessed by the soul of a spirit beast," Lin Yue continued.

No... that's impossible...

If that were the case, why would Tang Hao never tell me?

Ah Yin still refused to believe it.

"What is impossible about it?"

"From the age of one, Tang San began cultivating without any instruction or teacher. Besides him having a mature soul residing in his body, is there any other explanation?"

"Tang Hao discovered this very early on, which is why he ignored him throughout his childhood; he acted nothing like a father."

"And all these years, Tang Hao never brought him to visit you, did he? It was because he feared you would see the truth through Tang San's behavior."

Lin Yue scoffed, continuing to reveal the truth to Ah Yin.

Master... are... are you telling the truth?

Ah Yin's voice trembled even more violently.

"You have already been successfully tamed by me; do you think I have any need to lie to you?"

Lin Yue chuckled.

...

Upon hearing this, Ah Yin fell into silence. It was true; Master had no reason to lie to her.

The thought that her son had been possessed by someone else long ago made Ah Yin's heart ache as if it were being twisted.

"Enough. I told you the truth just so you would have one less attachment."

"I don't want you to be sad when I eventually take action against Tang San."

"Now, answer my question: if I make all the Blue Silver Grass sacrifice their life force to you, can you resurrect directly?"

Lin Yue waved his hand, setting aside the matter of Tang San and Tang Hao to inquire about Ah Yin herself.

What interested him most was Ah Yin herself.

Moreover, he was interested in a resurrected Ah Yin; he had no interest in the current version, who lacked power and could not take human form.

Master, I can no longer command the entire clan!

Besides, doing so would harm my people!

Ah Yin answered Lin Yue quickly.

"So it is possible, right? You just can't do it yourself."

Hearing this, Lin Yue burst into laughter.

Yes, Master.

Ah Yin fell silent after answering. She did not want to harm her people, but she would not defy her Master's will.

If Master truly needed her to resurrect and it was possible, she would accept it.

"Hahaha, that's good!"

Lin Yue laughed heartily upon hearing this.

"System, can you help me broadcast a message to all the Blue Silver Grass in the containment facility?"

Lin Yue then asked the system.

[Ding~ Within the containment facility, targeted messaging is possible, and it can even be broadcast in the form of a video projection!]

The system answered Lin Yue promptly.

"Video projection as well? That's even better!"

"System, immediately project the scene here to all the Blue Silver Grass."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yue immediately commanded the system to take action.

While speaking, Lin Yue promptly replanted Ah Yin back into the soil. "Ah Yin, in a moment, just speak directly and ask all the Blue Silver Grass to sacrifice their life force to you. They will be able to hear you."

"Yes, Master!"

There was a hint of reluctance in Ah Yin's voice, but also a touch of excitement.

[Ding~ Currently broadcasting the image of the Blue Silver Empress seed, Ah Yin, to all Blue Silver Grass...]

[Ding~ Broadcast successful!]

Hearing the system's notification, Lin Yue closed his eyes to sense the situation across the entire Sanctuary world, discovering that those Blue Silver Grass had indeed all received the broadcast.

Furthermore, other soul beasts could not see the images being broadcast.

Those ordinary Blue Silver Grass soul beasts, upon seeing the image of Ah Yin, immediately bowed down in worship.

Even if Ah Yin was not currently the Blue Silver Empress, but merely a seed possessing the bloodline of the Blue Silver Empress, she still exerted bloodline suppression over them.

As for those powerful Blue Silver Kings, they were even more stirred upon seeing Ah Yin's appearance.

"Our Empress!!!"

They had finally sensed their sovereign once again; even if Ah Yin's strength was currently meager, she was still their Empress.

"Ah Yin, you may begin!"

Outside the broadcast, Lin Yue sent a voice transmission directly to Ah Yin.

Replanted and settled, Ah Yin swayed slightly, emitting ripples of blue light from her body.

"My subjects..."

"In this moment, I use our bloodline as a conduit to call upon each and every one of you..."

"My power was nearly exhausted in a defeat many years ago. Now, I am frail and weak; my leaves cannot unfurl, my roots cannot spread... I cannot even respond to your worship, nor can I offer you the slightest protection."

"A nation cannot go a day without a ruler, and our Blue Silver Grass clan cannot remain without an Empress..."

"I need to restore my strength..."

"This requires... an immensely vast source of life."

"I, here, implore you..."

"I implore those among you who are willing to offer your strength for my revival..."

"Please, sacrifice your life essence—your purest, most fundamental life force—to me!"

"You do not need to give your all; you only need to sacrifice a portion of your life force..."

"My dear subjects... please, transmit your power... through the bond of our bloodline... to me!"

Ah Yin's botanical voice, carried through the targeted broadcast, reached the ears of every Blue Silver Grass soul beast with perfect clarity.

"Our Empress..."

"Our Empress..."

"Our Empress..."

From the weakest one-year-old Blue Silver Grass that had just awakened its martial soul, to the powerful Blue Silver Kings of tens of thousands of years, all were responding to Ah Yin's call at this moment.

Ah Yin's plight pierced their hearts with agony.

They had never known that their Empress had fallen into such a desperate situation!

Hum--

Hum--

Following this, all the Blue Silver Grass spontaneously sacrificed a portion of their life force.

That life force, invisible to the naked eye, flew out from every single blade of grass, eventually converging into an ocean of vitality that surged toward the location where Ah Yin was planted.

Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak~

After absorbing the massive influx of life force, Ah Yin's body suddenly erupted with a blinding radiance. Beneath her, a multitude of Blue Silver Grass leaves rapidly sprouted, which then transformed into vines, eventually wrapping around her to form a cocoon of Blue Silver Grass.

"System, can I use this broadcast function to live-stream the situation from the outside world to the soul beasts here?"

As Lin Yue watched Ah Yin enter her metamorphosis after absorbing the life force, he asked the system once more.

[Ding~ The system cannot capture external footage; it can only broadcast the images seen by the host!]

"I see... well, that's still quite good..."

"Once I broadcast the chaotic scenes of the soul masters from the outside world to these soul beasts, it will surely make them happy, which will facilitate my subsequent domestication efforts!"

Hearing this, Lin Yue immediately broke into a smile.
