"Lord of Starsea, I beg you to resurrect Piercing Sun!"
Venerable Dance Spirit's voice trembled with desperation.
After the Human Universe Masters arrived, the Lord of Hong Luo had shifted his attention away from the survivors, allowing both Venerable Blood Moon and Venerable Dance Spirit to escape with their lives.
Now, Venerable Dance Spirit's divine body had been reduced to barely twenty percent, a truly pitiful state. Yet her first thought wasn't to restore herself, but to plead for the resurrection of Venerable Piercing Sun.
For the Lord of Starsea, who had already reached the Universe Master realm and possessed a massive divine body, resurrecting Venerable Piercing Sun, who, without his Arcana, was only equivalent to an ordinary Universe Overlord, wasn't a particularly difficult task.
"Resurrect him?" the Lord of Starsea murmured thoughtfully.
His mind drifted to the joyful days the three of them had spent together in the early years of the Eternal Lake Secret Realm.
Those had been simpler times.
The Lord of Starsea shook his head slowly. While the Lord of Hong Luo had been the primary cause of their relationship's breakdown, Venerable Piercing Sun had committed many atrocities of his own.
"Resurrection is possible," the Lord of Starsea finally said. "However, I will not return his domain-type Arcana. Consider it the price for his resurrection."
The high-tier domain-type Arcana, the Stellar Belt, had been obtained from the Lord of Hong Luo. To show goodwill toward the human race, and given that Venerable Piercing Sun had once been a friend, the Primal Chaos City Lord had entrusted the treasure to the Lord of Starsea for distribution.
The Lord of Starsea had then given this Arcana to Han Jue.
He'd heard about Han Jue's recent achievement on the extraterrestrial battlefield, using a clone gifted by the Lord of Starsea to defeat a Universe Venerable while still at the World Master level. The Stellar Belt was a reward for that accomplishment. For the Lord of Starsea himself, the treasure held little practical value.
"No problem!" Venerable Dance Spirit nodded frantically, her relief palpable.
Next, the Lord of Starsea reversed time and space, sacrificing a portion of his divine body to resurrect Venerable Piercing Sun.
After his resurrection, Venerable Piercing Sun seemed much more lucid than before, no longer consumed by the madness that had plagued him. It appeared the old friend they once knew was returning.
The relationship between the three, Piercing Sun, Blood Moon, and Starflow, while not as strong as it had once been, had at least eased somewhat.
Venerable Piercing Sun had officially paired with Venerable Dance Spirit, and despite his significant decline in strength, Venerable Dance Spirit remained steadfastly by his side.
Thus, the matter of the Eternal Lake Secret Realm officially came to an end.
This secret realm would henceforth serve as a training ground for the human race, possessing significant strategic importance.
Simultaneously, it would also be a hidden trump card.
Currently, the alien races were unaware that the Human Alliance had gained a new Universe Master.
A surprise attack would surely inflict heavy losses on those alien races!
"I didn't expect our reunion to be so soon."
The Lord of Starsea, transformed into a water giant, rode his ferocious beast mount to Han Jue's side. He smiled warmly, his voice filled with praise. "Not bad. I've heard about your deeds on the extraterrestrial battlefield. You did very well, you didn't disgrace me."
"Senior Lord of Starsea." Han Jue returned the smile. "It's all thanks to your clone, Senior."
"This Stellar Belt is a gift for you. I heard that Piercing Sun dared to bully you before?" The Lord of Starsea casually tossed the Stellar Belt to Han Jue, who hurriedly caught it.
Unexpectedly, this Arcana had ended up in Han Jue's hands through such a circuitous route.
Han Jue's original plan had been to kill Piercing Sun himself, but he'd found it too difficult and hadn't directly sought trouble with the Venerable.
Later, when the Lord of Hong Luo appeared, the Lord of Ice Peak had intended to help Han Jue resolve this problem. However, Piercing Sun had already been killed by the Lord of Hong Luo, and the Arcana had fallen into the Lord of Hong Luo's possession.
Finally, with the appearance of the Lord of Starsea, everything had been shattered once again. Although the Lord of Hong Luo had perished, the Arcana was still returned to Venerable Piercing Sun upon his resurrection, then taken by the Lord of Starsea, who gave it to Han Jue.
"Thank you, Senior!" Han Jue said happily.
The Lord of Starsea nodded slightly and spoke generously. "You are practically my child. Now that I'm also a member of the Human Alliance, this is nothing. Whatever you want, as long as it's within my power, I can get it for you."
"Really?" Han Jue asked cautiously.
"Of course," the Lord of Starsea said confidently.
"Then, Senior, could you give me some of your seawater?" Han Jue had already formed a plan in his mind.
"This?" The Lord of Starsea was slightly taken aback, then readily agreed.
"No problem!"
The loss of a little seawater was equivalent to zero loss for the Lord of Starsea's enormous divine body.
The Lord of Starsea directly extracted some of the seawater that had constructed this clone and gave it to Han Jue.
"Thank you, Senior!"
After bidding farewell to the Lord of Starsea, Han Jue followed the Human Universe Masters and left the Eternal Lake Secret Realm.
"What should we do with this egg?"
Nine Swords Venerable and Kandeli stared at the giant egg placed in the center of the cliff hall.
The eggshell was a deep purple, like a cosmic nebula, and looked extraordinarily beautiful, with starlight flowing across its surface.
This was what the Lord of Hong Luo had become after reincarnation.
"He's a special lifeform, after all. Even if he's not as powerful as the Lord of Starsea, he's still stronger than Venerable Piercing Sun." Han Jue had arrived at this location as well. Because Han Jue had indicated he didn't intend to return to Primal Chaos City immediately, the Primal Chaos City Lord and the others had simply left him here.
"Why don't we find someone to possess him? In the future, he'll at least become a Universe Overlord-level existence." Han Jue suggested.
"But there's still a portion of the Lord of Hong Luo's soul inside. After all, he was a Universe Master. How could an ordinary human possess such a special lifeform?" Nine Swords Venerable asked, puzzled.
After the Lord of Hong Luo was reborn, although he'd returned to the World Master level, his soul strength was at least comparable to that of a Universe Venerable or even a Universe Overlord. In any case, he still possessed a fragment of a Universe Master's soul.
It was nearly impossible for an ordinary human World Master to possess him.
And extremely powerful human World Master geniuses, such as Luo Feng and Han Jue, didn't need to possess a special lifeform, thus creating a vicious cycle.
"It's alright," Han Jue said confidently.
"Leave it to me."
"Okay." Nine Swords Venerable and Kandeli nodded.
Dealing with the reincarnation of the Lord of Hong Luo was no easy task. At the very least, neither of them had the ability to handle it.
As the disciple of the Lord of Ice Peak and a genius of the human race, Han Jue frequently came into contact with beings at the Universe Master level, and obviously had more methods than the two of them.
Han Jue's idea was to have an Earthling possess the egg.
Earthlings were extremely powerful in the art of the soul!
Then, by finding an exceptionally talented individual among Earthlings, and having Luo Feng equip them with a treasure like a General Soul or King Soul, wouldn't it be easy to seize the body of the Lord of Hong Luo?
At that time, Earth would be guaranteed to produce another Universe Overlord!
