The Little Bookworm watched as Leo and his companions quickly finalized their plan: to restore all the soul essence they had collected from the Returning Breath World, and even give the other useless resurrected souls to Black Soluo to enhance his strength.
Little Bookworm No. 003 interrupted softly, "Lord Leo, there's something I need to tell you."
"You say."
Leo looked at the Little Bookworm No. 003 with a good expression. His long-cherished wish was about to be fulfilled, and Alice's resurrection was just around the corner. Naturally, he was in a very good mood.
"The soul originates from all the information about the soul. When restoring the soul according to its origin, it can only be restored to a fixed point in time; it can only be restored to the level it was at before death."
"Repairing souls requires a considerable amount of energy. To repair all the soul essences we've collected would be an enormous energy drain, something we simply can't do with our current energy reserves."
Little Bookworm No. 003 tried his best to explain the matter of soul repair clearly. He meant that the level of soul repair was determined by the level of the souls they were at when their essence was absorbed by the Returning Breath World in their previous lives; it could only be repaired to that level, neither more nor less.
It's definitely impossible to do too much, and the key is that it's impossible to do too little either.
How much of the soul's essence can our energy repair?
Little Bookworm No. 003 and several other Little Bookworm huddled together, whispering amongst themselves. After reaching a conclusion, they whispered to Leo, "One in a billion."
"How many?"
Leo, Baturu, Black Soluo all suspected they had a hearing problem and stared wide-eyed at Little Bookworm No. 003.
Yaoyao even fell headfirst off Leo, a number more terrifying than a fairy tale.
"This is the most ideal result we obtained after calculating by adding up all the usable energy within the Barbarian World, the 365 large and small worlds under your command, the Hundred-Page World, and the energy we absorb daily."
"It's not that we lack energy, but rather that there are too many soul essences within the Returning Breath World, and all of these souls are high-level life forms, requiring an extremely large amount of energy to recover."
Seeing Leo's expression change repeatedly, the Little Bookworm No. 003, was very afraid that Leo would question his abilities, so he immediately explained.
One in a billion??
Leo was completely stunned by this number.
Such a vast amount of energy was only enough to restore one hundred millionth of the original essence of the souls in the Returning Breath World.
If Alice's soul falls within that one in a billion chance, it's manageable; they can resurrect Alice within the energy range they possess.
However, the probability that Alice's original soul exists within a one in a billion chance of being restored is also one in a billion.
Leo didn't dare to hope that he could revive Alice with a one in a billion chance.
A probability of one in a billion...
Baturu closed his eyes in despair.
The origin of the soul has been found, but now it lacks energy.
This isn't Leo's fault; they simply overlooked this point—the sheer size of the soul essence within the Returning Breath World.
This represents all the lives killed since the birth of the Returning Breath World; its sheer size is to be expected!
"In other words, to resurrect all the souls, we would need a hundred million times our current total energy."
Even Black Soluo, who had just been promoted to Supreme Lord, had to calm his frightened heart.
Leo was the same.
The same goes for Baturu.
This difficulty is even beyond the capabilities of their Supreme Lord.
The energy they possess includes not only the energy of the hundred worlds within the Hundred-Page World, but also the energy within the seven-story Wizard Tower held by the Tower of Elements, half of the primordial energy of the Returning Breath World, plus the total energy of their other worlds.
All things considered, the total amount of energy he can mobilize far exceeds that of an entire World Cluster.
He originally thought he had plenty of energy and could do a lot of things; he still had many plans on his to-do list.
All plans require enormous energy support.
It's like wanting to buy a car, a house, a phone, a computer, or find a partner...
It turned out that I only had enough money in my pocket to buy a brick!
With so much energy, it's only enough to restore one in a billion of the original soul essence. Should all other plans be halted, and all this energy used solely for soul restoration?
Leo chuckled. He really hadn't tried hard enough!
"I do know a place with lots and lots of energy, enough to meet at least half of Third Brother's energy needs."
The Two-Colored Little Bookworm, namely Little Bookworm No. 007, saw Leo's face contort in pain and immediately shouted.
"I know where you're talking about, but let me catch my breath first," Leo interrupted them, stopping them from saying anything more.
"Oh."
The Two-Colored Little Bookworm' prepared words were cut off by Leo, and their little faces showed obvious disappointment.
Seeing his dejected look, Leo sighed helplessly. He knew where they were talking about.
They were talking about the Crystal Giant World, a World Cluster made entirely of energy crystals.
Once the Crystal Giant World is conquered, it will be equivalent to possessing an inexhaustible source of energy.
When the Hundred-Page World was unsealed from the Dragon World, it was snatched away by the Crystal Giant and placed within the world, witnessing firsthand just how wealthy that world was.
The Tower of Elements, in order to reclaim the Hundred-Page World,
Stigmata Wizard, Lord of Souls, World Lord —so many powerful figures and armies have all been vying for the Energy Crystal, for almost a century, yet they've only managed to scratch the surface of the Crystal Giant World.
That's a world that would make anyone drool, but it's also at the level of World Cluster!
How could he just take it down like that? He's not that arrogant!
If it were really that easy to conquer, the Crystal Giant World wouldn't have developed into World Cluster and survived for so long under the terrifying Dark Forest Law and the law of the jungle!
The existence of the Crystal Giant World in the universe must be due to their own survival skills!
"First, revive the two thousand World Lord who self-destructed in the Returning Breath World, then the more than four thousand Lord of Souls of the Returning Breath World itself, and then the eighty Stigmata Wizard," Leo said to Little Bookworm No. 004.
Leo dared to have all two thousand World Lord self-destruct because he had a backup plan to resurrect them.
As for the more than four thousand Lord of Souls died at the hands of Black Soluo, and the eighty Stigmata Wizard who died at the hands of Baturu, their soul and physical information has also been collected.
After resurrecting them, and combining this with the method of controlling the World Lord found in the Black Skull's soul, their power can be increased by more than four thousand World Lord.
Just from what Little Bookworm No. 003 said, the energy required to revive these World Lord is no small amount.
The energy consumed in resurrecting each World Lord is equivalent to all the energy consumed from the moment that soul was born until its death.
Absolute fairness
The amount of energy a person possesses in life determines the total amount of energy required for resurrection!
"Yes, sir." The Xiao San and Xiao Si immediately agreed.
" Black Soluo, you're in charge of controlling these World Lord. I'll give you ten death indicators; the rest you must control," Leo said to Black Soluo.
Xiao San resurrected souls and bodies of the Xiao Si are both free and cannot be controlled, so they need to be regained control after their resurrection.
The World Lord won't just obediently listen; a little bit of force is necessary!
"No problem, leave it to me. I guarantee they'll be more obedient than slaves." Black Soluo nodded with a smile.
Having completely left the Wizard World, it's time to seize every second to increase one's power.
Although the Bloodline Controller and the Cosmic Wanderer witnessed his strength drop to level five, their vigilance might decrease, but their search efforts will only intensify, not diminish.
In the eyes of the Wizard World, he was a highly sought-after prize, soaked in lucrative offers.
Find him, control him, assimilate him, and the power of the Wizard World will double!
Before finding him in the Wizard World, you must improve your strength in every aspect, ideally to the point where you can contend with Bloodline Controller.
Recalling the final blow from the Bloodline Controller, Leo felt a chill run down his spine.
It gathered the energy of the entire galaxy and pierced through a large part of the starry sky. It was the strongest attack Leo had ever seen!
"Once these World Lord are resurrected, let us resurrect those primordial souls."
Leo had given up hope of reviving Alice as soon as possible, so he could only postpone the Alice and focus on the more pressing matters at hand.
" The Supreme Lord of the Returning Breath World, don't you want to be resurrected?" Black Soluo looked at Leo, thinking that Leo had forgotten about this matter.
He persuaded the ten Supreme Lord of the Returning Breath World using a method that could resurrect them.
However, seeing Leo's arrangements, Leo had no intention of reviving them.
"What, you've resurrected ten Supreme Lord to command us?"
"Shouldn't the Barbarian World also be renamed the Returning Breath World?" Leo glared at Black Soluo with annoyance.
They really dare to think of resurrecting ten Supreme Lord. They have no means to control Supreme Lord, and once they are resurrected, they will be a problem for them.
Black Soluo fell silent, preoccupied with his promise and forgetting the problem of being unable to control the Supreme Lord.
"You all go ahead with your work, I need to recover from my injuries first."
After quickly arranging the tasks for the near future, Leo Xi waved goodbye to his two clones and the Little Bookworm.
Even Yaoyao didn't stay. After saying a series of words of praise, Yaoyao happily ran off to play.
Although his soul was fully restored thanks to the resurrection of Black Soluo and Baturu, the wounds on his soul remained. It was impossible for his soul to heal immediately just because it was restored; he still needed a period of rest to fully recover.
After driving everyone away, Leo took out the Fate Wizard Book; he needed to understand the happenings in the Wizard World.
Once opened, you'll see a dense stream of information, all of which happened in the Wizard World during the month he was in a coma.
First, five of the ten Supreme Lord of the Returning Breath World died, and the other five were captured alive.
It doesn't matter; they were just using Black Soluo's identity to manipulate them anyway.
Those who died on the spot were fortunate; as long as Leo had enough power to control the Supreme Lord, he could resurrect them.
Those who were captured alive would suffer an even worse fate; they would be subjected to the most brutal experimental procedures.
