205: Chapter 205 Resurrection Device
"I agree to this."
After analyzing the feasibility of the matter, Lin Sheng nodded to Nan Zhu and agreed.
According to Lin Sheng's understanding, he only needed to use the oracle under the protection of several Daluo.
"Then next, I shall help you, Daoist friend, resurrect your close friend."
Hearing this, Lin Sheng felt a surge of excitement in his heart.
After waiting for so long, could Eighteen finally be resurrected?
Lin Sheng never doubted whether Nan Zhu could resurrect Eighteen; for an existence at the Daluo level, resurrecting a being was just a matter of a single thought.
But what puzzled Lin Sheng was that Nan Zhu didn't simply use a thought to bring Eighteen back to life.
Nan Zhu led Lin Sheng to a "Technology City" built from piles of stones.
Looking at the stone piles before him that had a slight sense of technology, Lin Sheng was confused.
At this moment, Nan Zhu spoke again:
"Can you understand these, Daoist friend?"
Lin Sheng looked closely and discovered that those stone piles were actually machines, each with its own purpose.
Although these machines appeared somewhat primitive on the outside, they were undoubtedly machines, and the level of technology within them was exceptionally high.
"I can understand some of it."
Lin Sheng answered honestly; although he recognized these machines, he didn't know their specific purposes.
"Since you do not know their specific purposes, Daoist friend, I shall explain them to you in detail."
"These are..."
As Nan Zhu explained, Lin Sheng also came to understand the purpose of these machines.
According to Nan Zhu, these were machines he had just hand-crafted; though they were a bit crude, they still possessed their primary functions.
The function of these machines was simple: from Daluo Golden Immortals down to mortals, any deceased being could be resurrected.
Even a mortal, if they operated them correctly, would have no problem resurrecting a Daluo Golden Immortal.
Of course, this was only in an ideal state; under normal circumstances, let alone mortals, even ordinary Immortals would be unable to use these machines.
However, after Nan Zhu finished explaining the principles of the machines to Lin Sheng, Lin Sheng understood how they operated and how to use them.
Under Nan Zhu's guidance, Lin Sheng began to operate the machines.
During this process, Lin Sheng could clearly feel that Nan Zhu was doing his best to resurrect Eighteen using a method he could understand, rather than using Daluo-level means to resurrect Eighteen with a single thought.
This process made Lin Sheng feel respected.
Compared to the kind of copying done by the Source of Information, Nan Zhu's method was clearly a true resurrection of Eighteen.
Following Nan Zhu's instructions, Lin Sheng operated step by step.
Finally, he reached the center of the stone pile (machine) in the central area and sat down.
Lin Sheng cleared his mind and began to recall every little detail of his time with Eighteen, and along the way, he also recalled that Little Thing, Sky.
As Lin Sheng reminisced, two light figures appeared around the machine, slowly condensing into two creatures with strange forms.
One was Eighteen, who had one head and nine bodies, and the other was an extremely strange-looking creature—that was the Little Thing, "Sky."
...
"Thank you, Daoist Nan Zhu."
Lin Sheng solemnly expressed his gratitude to Nan Zhu.
Nan Zhu had not only helped him resurrect Eighteen and Sky, but in the process, he had also given him the utmost respect, which made Lin Sheng feel very comfortable.
"You are too polite, Daoist friend. Now that your close friends have been resurrected, it is not convenient for me to stay here any longer."
"Once you have finished handling your affairs, you may come to Mount Zhong to find me."
After leaving these words, Nan Zhu's figure vanished from before Lin Sheng.
"I'll hold them off, you run!"
The very next moment after Nan Zhu's figure vanished, a roar suddenly rang out in Lin Sheng's ear.
...
"So, you've traveled through several worlds just to resurrect us?"
Looking at the strange-looking monster before it, the shock in Eighteen's eyes lingered for a long time.
"To be precise, I've only traveled through one world."
"The Creator of this world needed my help, and as a reward, he helped me resurrect you."
Lin Sheng's tone was very relaxed, but the twists and turns within it could still be heard.
An existence capable of creating a world was something it wouldn't even dare to imagine; how could helping such an existence be easy?
"Don't overthink it. Being able to resurrect you is enough for me; it's worth more than any reward."
Lin Sheng shook his head at Eighteen and Sky, signaling them not to overthink things.
Then, looking at the two of them, he asked:
"You probably don't know your specific origins yet. Shall I tell you about them?"
Eighteen and Sky nodded in unison and lay quietly to the side.
Lin Sheng then told Eighteen and Sky about the Source of Information and the Creator.
After listening, Eighteen lamented:
"So, it turns out we were all created by someone else."
While Eighteen was lamenting, Lin Sheng turned to ask it:
"What do you think of the Source of Information? Do you hate them?"
"Hate?"
Eighteen thought for a moment and didn't answer immediately.
It was somewhat conflicted; on one hand, the Source of Information was the culprit that killed its clansmen and destroyed its home planet, so it certainly hated them.
But on the other hand, the Source of Information was also its Creator; from their perspective, they had merely destroyed a test subject.
Thinking carefully, Eighteen shook its head at Lin Sheng.
"I don't know."
Lin Sheng waved his hand at Eighteen and then looked at Sky.
"What about you?"
Hearing this, Sky, like Eighteen, shook its head at Lin Sheng.
"I don't know either."
"Since you have no thoughts on the matter, then leave everything to me."
Seeing that neither of them had much of an opinion, Lin Sheng wasn't surprised.
Due to the limitations of their perspective, Eighteen and Sky would always lack opinions when facing issues of this level; therefore, these matters could ultimately only be handled by Lin Sheng.
"Don't worry, I will take care of them for you."
"Mm, I believe you."
"Me too."
Eighteen and Sky nodded one after another, both expressing their deep trust in Lin Sheng.
After their chat ended, Lin Sheng needed to find a way to settle the two of them.
Now Eighteen and Sky had two choices: one was to return to the Great Universe, and the other was to stay in the Shanhai Realm.
"Where do you plan to go next? Back to the Great Universe, or stay here?"
"Is there any difference between these two places?"
Sky asked Lin Sheng.
"The difference is that one is a world of cultivation, and the other is a world of technology."
"A world of cultivation is..."
Lin Sheng patiently explained the difference between the two worlds. After listening, Eighteen thought for a moment and said:
"I want to stay here."
Hearing this, Lin Sheng looked at it in surprise.
He had thought Eighteen would want to return to the Great Universe out of nostalgia for its home, but he hadn't expected it to want to stay here.
