NOVEL NEXT Chapter 88: Saving People
Savior finally got out of the moon's core.
It took a long time, but he finally did it. He successfully combined negative life energy (NLE) with life energy (LE).
He gained the concept of life energy Great Master, but didn't reach the Grandmaster level, not even close. Achieving the Grandmaster level takes far more than just research.
Gaining the Great Master realm is good already; he wouldn't have succeeded if he wasn't the main protagonist.
Rachel promoted him to be the main protagonist.
LE has a positive charge; it can heal mortals' bodies; NLE is its polar opposite, with a negative charge that harms living beings.
However, they are only the polar opposite in charge; their essence is the same.
What makes one 'living'? Is it the soul, body, meat, or blood?
The answer is life energy.
Anything with life energy is alive, and anything without life energy is dead.
The undead don't have life energy; they have negative life energy (NLE). So, they are dead because they lack life energy.
However, even the undead are paradoxically kind of in the 'living category.'
It's best to call them 'negative living creatures.' They are the opposite side of the same coin, but still the same coin.
Many don't know this about the undead; they just assume the undead are evil corpses that came back to life.
Indeed, the undead don't have a soul, but the soul is not necessary to live; only life energy is necessary.
The soul can be substituted with artificial souls or different charges; skilled, high-ranking beings can even replace the soul with illusions.
The undead cannot have a soul because the NLE destroys the soul, but they have soul replacements. Low-ranking vampires should drink blood as a replacement for the soul; zombies eat brains as a replacement; skeletons consume NLE directly as a replacement for the soul; mummies eat the flesh of living beings as a replacement, etc.
Low-ranking beings don't know why the undead behave evil; in fact, nothing about the undead is inherently evil. It's just that most undead are drawn to evil due to what they must do to survive.
Savior was very surprised to learn these things about the undead. He had also assumed the undead were evil, but he didn't know the truth was like this.
If he could find a way to help the undead find a replacement for the soul, then he might solve the undead problem completely.
Of course, it wouldn't be easy. He still failed to solve this problem after thousands of years of research.
However, he did have other discoveries and inventions.
Life energy(LE) and NLE are the same; only the charge differs. But, the charge problem was complicated to fix. Different charges destroy each other, so when NLE and LE come into contact, 'neutral Life energy' forms.
Neutral life energy (NeLE) is a misleading name; NULE has no energy. It's just a wave with infinitely low frequency.
As a result, in practice, any collision between NLE and LE eliminates energy from the world. To allow them to mix without losing their energy, Savior did something only a few advanced Rank 11 civilizations know.
He created a formation with fragment laws of Magnetic and Isolation, separated the charges from NLE and LE, put the negative and positive charges in the formation, and stored the resulting NeLE in the formation in isolation, preventing it from escaping.
Anytime he needs to use Negative life energy(NLE), he mixes NeLE with Negative energy, and the process is the same with Life energy.
It sounds simple, but the formation, execution, etc., all take time, talent, and luck to accomplish.
With this system, Savior has a powerful means of attack and healing. One good thing about NeLE is it's very concentrated and easy to store. So, he is now carrying massive reserves of them on his body.
He can heal living beings or undead with them, no matter how damaged they are. The efficiency would improve when he devises spells that work with LE and NLE. But designing spells is for later; now, he wants to return.
In addition, he has invented other methods and some spells that can be used even for the resurrection of living people. He is excited to use his new abilities to help everyone.
Rachel waved her hand and returned the two of them.
...
Savior looked around, and his heart ached.
"How can he do this?" he nearly cried.
After his return, he came to his favorite holiday place only to find it destroyed.
He was standing on the Red River continent, which was completely burnt. This continent had beautiful landscapes and many fun places, like casinos, strip clubs, etc., that he used to go to in his youth.' He had many children here, all of whom were liked by his father.
He could recognize his father's spells, and these were his handiwork.
"What are you going to do?" asked Rachel.
While tears flowed, he looked determined and declared, "I'm going to resurrect everyone!"
"You know it's not possible," Rachel said.
"In rank 8, yeah, it's not, but when I'm rank 9, it is!" he retorted.
"Even in rank 10, it's still impossible," Rachel shook her head.
"Are you going to help me reach rank 9 or not?" he asked coldly.
"Of course," Rachel used her ability and produced many rank 8 pills.
Savior sat cross-legged. Reaching rank 9 is only a difference in quantity, not quality. He is already at the peak of rank 8.
It was estimated that it would take 20,000 years for him to reach rank 9, but after gaining the main protagonist's luck, the time shrank by half.
He started it without hesitation. He took pills to shrink and condense his fragment laws and quickly produced a trace of rank 9 concentration fragment law. It went so smoothly that he was surprised. No one should underestimate the main protagonist's luck.
After consolidating his realm a little, he stood up and looked at the river of time.
Everything gets recorded in the river of time. The river of time used to be flawed, but Rachel long fixed it. Now, the river of time again records everything. There are missing pieces because of the loss of heaven, but those are about the past. People who lived on this continent are surely all recorded.
He dug deep into the river of time, locating the position of this continent. With his eyes closed, he started recording details of all the people who lived here—their lives, last positions, memories, bodies, etc.
A rank 9 mage has the mental capacity to do this. After all, it's only a continent. Only rank 10s could have done it if it was a whole world.
He continued.
He wants to resurrect everything and repair even inanimate objects. He carefully recorded the positions of mountains, rocks, rivers, and every detail.
When it all finished, he wiped the sweat off his forehead. He can do it, but it's not easy.
He took a deep breath and started.
"Landscape manipulation!" he shouted.
Great quantities of energy began depleting. Still, rank 9 energy is derived from fragment laws, so it is very powerful; Savior was able to hold on.
He took some pills to make sure his reserves were enough.
Everywhere began to change. Many mountains that were melted and flattened began to retake their shape. The Red River, which dried, regained its water.
After a while, everything returned to their original place.
"The first phase is done!" he thought.
Only non-living beings recovered.
To recover living beings, Life Energy (LE) is necessary.
If it were before, it would have taken a very long time to collect this much LE, but now...
"The easier part began!" he closed his eyes again.
"Life Recovery!" he cast.
As he said it, the trees began to grow back. In a few moments, everywhere was as it was before. It wasn't just trees; even birds and insects began appearing. Gradually, animals and humans began to appear as they were before the destruction.
It's just that all were unconscious. This is what happens when one doesn't have a soul. They are alive but not conscious.
Savior took a deep breath. He looked at the city around him. This city was not here before; it appeared due to his recovery. Still, everyone around was on the ground unconscious.
"Now, the hardest part!" he thought and began without hesitation.
He had discovered an important secret during his research, a discovery significant enough that Rachel found it impressive. She probably already knew it but didn't expect Savior to find it out.
Living beings can also lose their souls and can substitute them. The best substitute for the soul? It's very unexpected, but it's Negative Life Energy.
It should not just circulate the body but be in a formation.
Savior knew the potential use of this method, so he spent a lot of time researching a spell that could utilize it practically. He combined three spells: 'mass formation,' 'simple formation,' and 'imprint,' along with 'Negative soul formation,' all together.
The resulting spell was named by him 'Resurrection of Masses.' The hardest part was to combine 'imprint' with 'negative soul formation'; other parts were much easier.
He took hundreds of rank 9 'energy' pills that Rachel had collected in the days he was researching. Then ...
"Super ultra Wide expand double triple quadruple quintuple sextuple septuple octuplet Resurrection of masses!"
Massive amounts of energy started to disappear from his body, but with all those pills, he had enough energy.
He released a lot of Negative Life Energy (NLE) along with that energy.
The formations formed in living beings' bodies, and the negative energy filled in, acting like a soul. Every living being on the continent, from bacteria to Elves and humans, regained life in just a moment.
He smiled and coughed blood.
He had just broken through, and he drew a great quantity of NLE just now. NLE is stored within a formation in his body, and drawing too much at once is not good for his body.
Still, he is ready to sacrifice himself to save these people. He will fix everything his father destroys.
He sees himself as responsible for his father's actions.
Rachel sighed but didn't say anything. She is not against doing good; if it can motivate Savior, then she will encourage him. She wants her host to advance, nothing more, nothing less.
...
Liz looked around. "Hmm? Did I fall asleep? Weird! I'm a knight attendant. I shouldn't fall asleep like this! I hope it's not too late!" she stood up.
It's easier for women, but they still have to work. If she gets to training too late, they may look down on her and all women. As one of the first women knight attendants, she felt great responsibility.
So, she hurried up to get to training on time.
...
A while later, Zagronan heard that the Red River continent had suddenly been repaired. He checked for himself using a spell and was enraged.
"I just sharpened my edges, and now, that boy ruined it all! I feel my edges are all broken and blunt! I'm going to kill him!"
He began to fly!
