That evening, in order to consolidate the fusion energy of the other two fragments of the Heaven-Mending Technique, Lin Yu used the power of the Source Technique again to fuse the two fragments of the Heaven-Mending Technique even more effectively.
Although the two fragments have been fused, the fusion is incomplete because there are only two fragments and the power of the Heaven-Mending Stone is not fully utilized.
Lin Yu had conducted tests and found that if extremely powerful source techniques were used, there was still a chance to separate the already fused fragments of the Heaven-Mending technique again.
"It seems that if we want the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Patch to be completely fused, we still need to collect all nine fragments!" Lin Yu sighed.
With only two fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone, this magical artifact is ultimately incomplete.
Even so, Lin Yu did his best to make the two fragments of the Heaven-Mending Piece fuse together more tightly.
This was to prevent the Water Droplet Man from taking advantage of the situation. After all, the fact that the Water Droplet Man chose to take advantage of the situation and seize the body of the black-gold monkey shows that he was not willing to die like that.
Lin Yu knew that the little monkey's power was far from enough to satisfy the water droplet, so the water droplet would definitely return to that fragment whenever it had the chance.
Because this water droplet man's goal is to dominate the entire fantasy world, and in the current blue realm, perhaps only the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Fragment can satisfy his ambition.
To achieve their goals, these water droplet beings would likely not even consider ordinary energy.
The black and gold monkey is now following Lin Yu. Although Lin Yu noticed the unusual situation of the little monkey, he did not deal with it directly.
However, Lin Yu will no longer let his guard down easily when facing this little guy.
In that critical moment, Lin Yu was careless and failed to keep an eye on the little monkey.
If Lin Yu had stopped it back then, that little monkey might still be jumping around happily next to Rhine right now.
Although the little monkey is still lively and energetic, its soul has changed. Its intelligence and consciousness have likely been completely burned away by the flames.
In other words, the little monkey in this world no longer exists; only its original body and the parasitized consciousness remain. This must be considered an extremely cruel thing for the little monkey.
But who could have predicted this would happen?
Moreover, not only He Buxian and the others, but even Lin Yu didn't know before that the parasitic ability of those dark green insects actually came from the Water Droplets.
After merging two more fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone, a knock came from outside Lin Yu's door.
In this Netherworld Immortal Realm, Lin Yu didn't interact much with others, and he didn't have much contact with the outside world. Apart from Daoist Shouyang, only He Buxian, the Fallen Black Phoenix, and Feng Changge would come to find him so late.
Even without using his mental power to flick his finger, Lin Yu could guess that the person who came was one of these three, and as for what they were doing, it was nothing more than something related to the Water Drop Man.
After Lin Yu opened the door, he found that the person who came was indeed Feng Changge.
"Is there something you need?" Lin Yu was completely bewildered, not expecting Feng Changge to come looking for him.
Lin Yu had already told Feng Changge that they should go back and recuperate before going to find Feng Nianzhi together.
I have no idea why Feng Changge came to see me at this time.
Feng Changge came with a troubled expression. He nodded upon hearing this, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know things would turn out this way!"
"At that time, I had already completed the ritual and used the primordial fire. I was thinking that if the primordial fire were to be extinguished, everything I had done before would be in vain..."
"So, it wasn't that I didn't want to let that little monkey go, it's that I really couldn't."
As Feng Changge spoke, he lowered his head deeply.
After Lin Yu's explanation, he understood that the consciousness that entered his primordial fire was the consciousness of that little monkey.
The primordial fire within the furnace originated from him, and logically, his senses should have been the most acute. However, at that time, perhaps due to excessive tension, or perhaps because he did not want to acknowledge this fact, Feng Changge did not stop the ceremony.
After returning home today, Feng Changge often thought about this matter. If he had stopped in time, perhaps he could have preserved the little monkey's consciousness and prevented it from ending up like this.
Especially after Lin Yu reminded him, Feng Changge realized that for a moment he had been aware that the Water Drop Man's intelligence had transferred to the little monkey, but he deliberately ignored that fleeting feeling.
"I really didn't mean it, I swear, I don't dislike that little monkey at all..." Feng Changge continued.
The reason Feng Changge couldn't sleep so late was because he was troubled by the little monkey. He felt guilty thinking that he had directly caused the little monkey's death.
Lin Yu looked at Feng Changge, who was in great pain in front of him, and felt somewhat helpless.
Unfortunately, the little monkey's intelligence and consciousness have already been refined, so there's no point in saying anything now.
"That's not how it works. If you had stopped the refining process back then, perhaps the little monkey's intelligence and consciousness couldn't have been saved, while the Water Droplet's intelligence and consciousness might have escaped on the spot."
"Now, at least we can be certain that the Water Droplets' intelligence within that little monkey isn't entirely passive."
Lin Yu could tell that after learning the truth, Feng Changge felt much more guilty than He Buxian and the Fallen Black Phoenix, since he was the one mainly responsible for refining it at the time.
In fact, long ago, the ancient Phoenix Clan always considered themselves a divine race and would never do such a heinous thing.
This explains why Lin Yu was so shocked when he first arrived at the Phoenix Ancestral Sea and discovered that the black-robed high priest had used the wisdom and consciousness within the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone to form a barrier to defend against external enemies.
It was because Lin Yu was well aware of the arrogance of the ancient Phoenix Clan. Although they considered themselves gods, they did what gods should do.
"What's done is done, and nothing we say will change anything."
"Besides, no one could do anything in that situation. Not to mention you, even I was powerless to help," Lin Yu sighed.
