Chapter 4066: Shui Xiu's Story

After using three spirit flowers, the remnant soul of the Lord of Heavy Water finally stabilized, returning to the state it was in when it first separated.

 Lin Moyu stopped at this point, not taking out any more spirit flowers. The Lord of Weak Water didn't realize this was the limit and, full of hope, asked, "Why did you stop? Keep going!" Lin Moyu shook his head, "My spirit flowers can only restore her to her original state after separation, not truly revive her. If you want to revive her…"

He paused, and the Lord of Weak Water impatiently pressed, "How can I revive her?" Her tone was urgent, her soul fluctuating, and the aura of a Great Dao Lord unconsciously filled the entire valley. It wasn't intentional, but a result of her deep anxiety, causing her to lose some control.

Lin Moyu said, "I have a technique that can resurrect the dead, but she's been gone for countless years, so I'm not sure it will work. Besides, there are some issues with this technique." The Lord of Weak Water grew even more anxious, "What issues? Tell me quickly." At this point, Lin Moyu was her last hope. She knew the state of the remnant soul all too well after maintaining it for tens of millions of years, it was still deteriorating and would eventually dissipate.

Lin Moyu explained, "The first problem is whether it will succeed. If it fails, the remnant soul will be completely destroyed. But instead of dragging this out for another million years, I think it's better to try prolonged pain is worse than short pain, and your Dao heart might not withstand it if you keep waiting. The second problem is that, if it succeeds, I promise not to place any restrictions on her. She'll be restored to her former self. However, because she's revived by my forbidden technique, she'll be loyal to me. But if I die, the technique fails and she'll die as well. Please consider carefully whether to keep things as they are or take the risk."

Becoming a revived being would make her Lin Moyu's servant, but he phrased it differently to make it easier for the Lord of Weak Water to accept. Lin Moyu knew well that reviving this remnant soul had become the Lord of Weak Water's obsession, even damaging her Dao heart; as long as there was a glimmer of hope, she wouldn't let go. He had explained all the possibilities failure could mean complete destruction, and even success would have side effects. The decision had to be hers; this was as far as Lin Moyu could go.

He also suspected that this remnant soul was one of the 621 Great Dao Lords who had fallen in Burial Dao Valley. If he could revive her, he might obtain more detailed information. Lin Moyu didn't fully trust Xuan Zhenzi's account, suspecting there were things left unsaid. But his revived beings could not hide anything from him.

Shui Xiu, as a Great Dao Lord, had a damaged Dao heart but was still decisive. She sighed, "Over the years, I've tried everything and still haven't found a way to revive Xin'er. You're right if I keep waiting, the end will be oblivion, so I might as well take a gamble. Daoist Lin, please perform the technique!" She gritted her teeth and made her final decision.

Lin Moyu was surprised to find that after her decision, her aura actually rose a bit, and her damaged Dao heart showed signs of recovery. Indeed, all Great Dao Lords were extraordinary people.

Lin Moyu said, "Since you've decided, I'll begin. Once I start, I can't stop." The Lord of Weak Water said quietly, "Let fate decide. Please, Daoist Lin, perform the technique. No matter the result, I will have no regrets."

Lin Moyu held the remnant soul in his hand and activated Infinite Summoning. The remnant soul was enveloped in undying flames and began to change. Perhaps because so much time had passed, or because the remnant soul had erased its mark in the Dao, the change was extremely slow. But Lin Moyu knew at once that it was working the technique had not failed. Infinite Summoning seeks out the spark of life in the true spirit; even after billions of years, his technique could follow the traces of the true spirit, gather the soul fragments from heaven, earth, and the river of time, and finally complete the resurrection. It was just that, with so much time passed, the process was slow and required patience.

The Lord of Weak Water watched intently, tense, but dared not disturb Lin Moyu. Seeing that the remnant soul in the undying flame was not collapsing but even growing stronger, hope appeared in her eyes. Shengxin, too, was nervous, hoping Lin Moyu would succeed.

Lin Moyu said, "It's already halfway done." In truth, it was already successful, but he said this to reassure her.

The Lord of Weak Water's face lit up, "Really?" Lin Moyu nodded, "The rest just takes time. After so many years, it's only natural. By the way, what's your relationship to her?" The Lord of Weak Water replied softly, "Her name is Shui Xin; she is my daughter, and was once the Lord of the Heavy Water Great Dao."

Lin Moyu had already guessed this, so he wasn't surprised. Shengxin, however, was stunned, "Sister Shui's daughter? What about her partner?" She was simple minded and didn't think her question was out of place, and Shui Xiu didn't mind.

The Lord of Weak Water said, "When I was at the Dao Venerable realm, I had a partner. We were very close and advanced to the Great Dao realm together, but he failed and died. After I advanced, I discovered I was pregnant." Perhaps due to the impact of advancing to the Great Dao realm, Shui Xin gestated for a thousand years before being born, and was born at the Dao Venerable level, with her father's constitution and a natural affinity for the Heavy Water Great Dao.

This shocked Lin Moyu pregnant for a thousand years, and born at the Dao Venerable level. A baby with such power could easily destroy the world if she threw a tantrum.

The Lord of Weak Water continued, "When Xin'er was young, I sealed her power until she came of age. Later, I became the Lord of the Weak Water Great Dao, and Xin'er soon became the Lord of the Heavy Water Great Dao. Her talent far surpassed mine; she always dreamed of attaining eternity. When Xuan Zhenzi and the others discovered that filth pool and began experimenting, Xin'er thought that if they succeeded, she could gain immense Heaven and Earth Fortune and have a chance to open the Gate of Eternity. I was worried, so I had Xin'er leave a wisp of her soul with me, just in case. But in the end, when they fell, they erased their Dao marks, and that wisp became useless…"

The Lord of Weak Water told her story a tale of warmth and heartbreak. She was a mother who wanted her daughter to be safe and happy, but didn't want to block her dreams. She hadn't participated in Xuan Zhenzi's research, but left a wisp of her daughter's soul as a spark of hope. She had guarded that remnant soul for countless years, nurturing it with her Dao heart and power, searching for every possible method.
