All this happened so quickly that nobody had time to react. The newbie had corroded away until there were no bones left. Xiao Tangqiu was the first to react, turning around in disbelief to look at Bai Yushan, “…Did you do this deliberately?”
The others also reacted one by one. Tang Mianmian immediately took a step back and asked loudly, “This is a trap? Do you want us to trip up? You lied to us!”
Yu Fuling, who was just bandaging Bai Yushan’s wound, couldn’t react when she was pushed away by Bai Yushan. She didn’t have the slightest guard up and unexpectedly fell to the ground.
By the time Yu Fuling got up, Bai Yushan had already run to the other side. She looked at the Reincarnation Team coldly. There was no emotion or ups and downs in her voice, “…I lied to you? I was just helping you!”
AD
“You say you were helping us? Stop kidding!” Xiao Tangqiu sneered, “If we went up just earlier, wouldn’t we be the dead people now?”
Tang Mianmian suddenly realized, “She went up earlier! She went up before we came! That’s why her face changed to what it is now!”
Bai Yushan scrapped half of her arm and ruined half of her face. Obviously, the truth was that she had climbed up to the bud to see it before they got here, but deliberately lied to them that the bud was a space passage to leave the island! How coldblooded!
Bai Yushan suddenly laughed, “Hahahaha! I didn’t lie to you! I’m just helping you!”
Xiao Tangqiu sneered, “What the fuck are you still bullshitting for?!”
“That flower bud is indeed not a spatial pathway to leave this island, but it can revive the people we want to resurrect!” Bai Yushan’s tone was extremely excited and she looked at the huge flower bud with crazed admiration, “Dare you believe it? It can help us resurrect anyone we want to resurrect! It really is a god! It is a real god!”
Xiao Tangqiu frowned, “Are you crazy?” It wasn’t that he didn’t believe Bai Yushan’s words, but this woman said previously that the Sacred Tree was not a divine tree, but a liar who raises humans as cattle. But now she changed her words and said that it was a real god? Was she schizophrenic?
“I’m not crazy! I’m extremely clear-headed! Do you know what’s in this bud?” Bai Yushan’s expression was extremely excited, “It’s the heart of the God of Light! When the Abyss Demon secretly took the heart of the God of Light, he hid the heart on this island! In order not to be discovered by others, he planted a demon world’s flower on the God of Light’s heart, intending to consume the light powers. Now this flower is about to bloom! Don’t you see!?”
“As long as the flower is provided with enough food, it can bloom! And once it blooms, it can resurrect anyone we want to resurrect!”
Xiao Tangqiu asked Bai Yushan incredulously, “…Provide enough food? Do you mean people? You just planned to feed that flower our lives?!”
Bai Yushan’s expression became more and more crazed, “The flower is about to bloom! It already grew a little bit bigger after it ate my arm! Look, it’s bigger now!”
Xiao Tangqiu’s heart skipped. He subconsciously turned his head to look at the huge flower bud. After swallowing the newbie, the flower bud really became bigger!

Could it be that the page that Bai Yushan tore from the Book of Light was about this demon world flower?
Bai Yushan concealed what it had on this demonic flower, meaning she had planned this for a long time. She knew that Bai Yuru could only be resurrected by making the demon flower bloom, so she planned to sacrifice all of them to do so?
Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t help but feel chills run down his back. If Bai Yushan had indeed planned this, did it mean that this woman wanted to sacrifice them from the very beginning? So this woman had long stopped regarding them as lives from the first instance they cooperated in?
At this moment, Tang Mianmian’s eyes widened as he yelled in disbelief, “Fuck! It’s really blooming!”
Xiao Tangqiu was shocked. He looked up and saw the huge flower bud that had been growing bigger and bigger after eating the newbie. Quickly, the entire flower bud was already plump to bursting and a big hole opened at the top of the flower bud. It really bloomed!
As a refreshing fragrance spread, the huge petals parted, beautifully picturesque and almost intoxicating. In a blink of an eye, the huge bud bloomed into a huge red flower, its petals dripping with alluring red.
In the heart of the demon flower laid a naked girl.
When Xiao Tangqiu saw the girl, his body froze. Tang Mianmian widened his eyes in disbelief. This girl was Bai Yuru, the player they had seen in a previous instance. The dead girl with her soul imprisoned forever in the secret room… She actually resurrected!
Could dead players really be brought back to life?
Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian looked at each other, both of them revealing incredulous eyes. Xiao Tangqiu thought more than Tang Mianmian. If Bai Yushan could really resurrect Bai Yuru, could he also resurrect Shen Yuan?
But this thought was quickly dismissed. This kind of resurrection method that required so many lives in exchange was too cruel. Even if most of those who died before were the NPCs in the instance… Not to mention he had always felt something was wrong with the entire scenario.
Bai Yushan obviously didn’t have so many concerns. She screamed Bai Yuru’s name in ecstasy and rushed over. The girl lying in the heart of the flower opened her eyes blankly and slowly got up.
“Yuru! Yuru!” Bai Yushan climbed up to the demon world’s flower neatly and took Bai Yuru into her arms, “I’m your sister! I’m your sister!”
Bai Yuru moved her lips, her voice hoarse, “Sister… Sister…”
“Yuru! Yuru!” Bai Yushan buried her face in Bai Yuru’s shoulders and wept bitterly, “I finally found you… This time I will never leave you again! We will be together forever!”
Bai Yuru repeated quietly, “…Be together forever.”
“Yuru?” Bai Yushan was originally holding Bai Yuru happily, but she soon noticed something was wrong. Just when she was about to let go of Bai Yuru, a thick vine suddenly entangled her and tightly wrapped her up.
Bai Yushan’s eyes widened in horror, “No!”
She opened her eyes and realized that “Bai Yuru”‘s hands had turned into two vines, tightly wrapping around her.
“Bai Yuru” entangled Bai Yushan tightly, and repeated softly, “Be together forever…”
“Don’t”
Everything froze at the moment when Bai Yushan opened her eyes in horror. The gorgeously blooming demonic flower suddenly closed its petals again and returned to the shape of a flower bud.
Bai Yushan struggled desperately in the cage of petals. But this time she didn’t have the same mental preparation or good luck as before.
A large amount of transparent flower nectar coated her head and the strong corrosive liquid melted everything instantly.
“Fake, it’s all fake…”
Xiao Tangqiu sighed, “…Everything is fake as expected.”
He was extremely discouraged and did not hesitate to take out the crossbow, firing a bolt at the huge bud. The bolt instantly pierced the demonic flower, ripping a big hole in its huge petal where crystal clear nectar dripped out.
The demonic flower was enraged and a dozen vines rushed towards Xiao Tangqiu at once.
Xue Junli’s expression tightened, “Everyone get ready!”
Everyone fell into a bitter battle again. But as before, except for the enchanted crossbow from Xiao Tangqiu, the other people’s weapons did not have much effect on the demonic flower and they could only run around, dodging, as they were all hounded by the vines.
Xiao Tangqiu was the worst off as the demonic flower was obviously very vengeful. Over ten vines went after him together. Although his weapon was powerful, he couldn’t handle so many vines going after him.
Xiao Tangqiu didn’t notice that as he was entangled by a vine, he was also quickly chased over towards the demonic flower bud.
“Qiuqiu!” Tang Mianmian yelled, but it was too late to stop it.
The demonic flower bud opened again and then swallowed Xiao Tangqiu.
“Qiuqiu!”
The moment Xiao Tangqiu fell into the bud, he opened several more holes in the petals and the extremely corrosive nectar flowed out along the holes. He took the opportunity to temporarily fix himself to the top of the bud and prevent himself from falling into the flower juice.
But soon the demonic flower began to secrete a large amount of nectar again and he gritted his teeth. He must find the weakness of this thing before the juice has completely filled the bud!
At this moment of life and death, he suddenly saw a fist-sized thing in the center of the flower bud. It was flesh-colored and also seemed to have something similar to pulsating blood vessels… It looked like a heart!
Xiao Tangqiu didn’t hesitate to aim the crossbow at the heart-like thing and fire!
He knew very well that if he failed at this moment or he made a mistake in his judgment, he would definitely die here, and there would be no chance of resurrection!
Although he was tense and every nerve in his body was strung tightly, after firing with all his strength, he couldn’t help the countless images that flashed through his mind. It was like a film, scenes from his life began to replay before his eyes. There was Meng Xinghe and also Shen Yuan. The person before him was Shen Yuan for a while, and then Meng Xinghe for a while, but in the end, it became Shen Yuan.
At the moment when the person in front of him fixed into Shen Yuan, he felt a huge explosion happen closely in front of him.
Boom.
An explosion?
He lost all consciousness in an instant.
…But wait a minute! What’s with that film flashback? That was too inauspicious!
Who said he must die? He had already died once, so he shouldn’t have died so quickly for a second time, right?
And what happened “before death”? He knew he wouldn’t die!
…
“Qiuqiu!”
“Qiuqiu! Wake up!”
Xiao Tangqiu opened his eyes instantly, and Tang Mianmian’s familiar face came into view.
“…Why is it you again?”
Tang Mianmian originally had a look of joy, and when he heard Xiao Tangqiu’s words, he suddenly snorted, “What’s the matter with “me again”? It’s you! Why did you faint again!”
“I fainted? Yes, I fainted… Why did I faint? It seems like something exploded?”
Xiao Tangqiu’s mind was a mess and it took a long time to remember what happened before he fainted.
“Yes, it was an explosion! You just rushed into the demonic flower and then you both exploded with a boom!” Tang Mianmian described vividly.
Xiao Tangqiu, “…I also exploded? Then why am I okay now?”
Tang Mianmian looked excited, “Guess!”
Xiao Tangqiu froze for a moment, then his eyes widened in disbelief, “…No way?”
“Yes! You guessed it!” Tang Mianmian jumped up to reveal the person who was standing behind him.
Xiao Tangqiu stared at the person in front of him blankly. After a while, he moved his lips, “…Shen Yuan?” His voice was very soft, as if he was afraid that he would break the illusion in front of him if he spoke any louder.

Wljb Kjcudle kjr mbwqifafis vewyobecvfv, “Lbk lr atlr qbrrlyif? Ktlr lr lwqbrrlyif…”
He clearly had the idea of dying along with the demonic flower. After all, based on his luck, he was really not sure about being able to find the demon flower’s weakness before he died.
Why was it that right now, not only was he not dead, but Shen Yuan was also back?
How was this possible?
He had been so unlucky for twenty-five years… How could his luck suddenly explode at this kind of time?
Xiao Tangqiu was completely stunned until Shen Yuan smiled helplessly and slowly said, “Actually, I didn’t figure out what was going on at first… I was already dead, how can I come back to life again? But after listening to what they said, I think I understand what’s going on.”
Xiao Tangqiu echoed, “What’s going on?”
Shen Yuan said lightly, “The Book of Light, I have also seen it before… If I am not mistaken, the heart of the God of Light can indeed resurrect people who have died, but this resurrection is conditional.”
“What’s the condition? It can’t be a life for a life? Sacrificing someone else’s life to resurrect the person you want to resurrect?” Xiao Tangqiu frowned.
“Of course not. If it is this method of resurrection, what’s the difference between the God of Light and those demons?” Shen Yuan shook his head and continued, “The Book of Light that I read says that only someone with a pure and courageous heart, with a spirit of self-sacrifice and desperation, can withstand the test of the God of Light and resurrect those who they want to resurrect.”
“A person with a pure and courageous heart?” Xiao Tangqiu didn’t react for a while, and then silently pointed to his nose after a long time, “…Me?”
Shen Yuan, “I believe that the Book of Light that Bai Yushan got should be fake, or it has been tampered with. Only the content related to the demonic flower is true and everything else is wrong.”
“The Abyss Demon planted the demonic flower on the God of Light’s heart, trying to consume the power of the God of Light. For so many years, the heart has been polluted by a large amount of demonic energy and has fallen into a state of chaos. Bai Yushan tried to revive Bai Yuru with the same sacrifice method as demons is of course impossible, but your act just purified the God of Light’s heart… So I was successfully resurrected.”
Xiao Tangqiu blankly stared at Shen Yuan for a long time before speaking, “Are you really alive again?”
“Of course it’s true,” Shen Yuan took a step forward, grabbed Xiao Tangqiu’s hand and placed it on his face, “See, I am warm. This is not your imagination.”
Xiao Tangqiu felt the warmth on his fingertips. He stared at Shen Yuan’s face blankly, and reluctantly blinked, “It’s really real… You’re really alive again…”
“Okay! That’s enough! Don’t waste any more time!” Duan Hongzhen finally couldn’t bare it and interrupted their mutual staring by taking a step forward, “…Although I know that the captain’s resurrection is a happy event, I beg you, the most important thing is to escape from this instance right now. There will be no time! If we can’t leave here before the time limit, we will all be wiped out!”
Xiao Tangqiu immediately came back to himself. They were still in the instance! They must escape quickly!
Shen Yuan thought aloud, “If I’m not mistaken, the demonic flower’s spacial passage should be at the top of the Sacred Tree that it parasitizes. Let’s climb it!”
Xiao Tangqiu nodded without hesitation, “Go! To the top of the tree!”
A large group of islanders was still surrounding the Sacred Tree. When they saw Xiao Tangqiu coming out of the tree hole, the people underneath immediately threw stones in anger again.
“Don’t worry about them! Let’s climb!”
Xiao Tangqiu took out his mountaineering equipment, pulled the rope tight and quickly climbed to the top of the tree.
As they climbed higher and higher, the stones could no longer reach them. But before Xiao Tangqiu could breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly realized that the Sacred Tree they were climbing began to become transparent…
The Sacred Tree was about to disappear!
The Sacred Tree only appeared in the evening. Once the islanders finish gathering their food, the Sacred Tree would soon vanish!
“There’s almost no time! Hurry up!” Xiao Tangqiu urged loudly.
Everyone immediately accelerated their climbing speed, and finally, they successfully climbed to the top of the tree.
At this moment, the Sacred Tree began to disappear. Everything gradually became transparent starting from the bottom roots of the tree to the top. The few newbies who remained below wanted to climb up, but they only climbed a few steps before falling back down to the ground because of the Sacred Tree’s disappearance. They could only desperately and unwillingly shout.
As soon as Xiao Tangqiu’s group climbed to the top of the Sacred Tree, the entire Sacred Tree disappeared.
Xiao Tangqiu originally thought they would fall, but he suddenly heard a familiar system sound in their ears—
“Congratulations, dear players, for completing the D-level mission [Eternal Revival Island], the mission goal [Escape from Revival Island] is achieved, the time limit is 1 day, the player receives 500 points…
“The mission is complete, leaving the instance soon…”
They finally managed to escape!
When Xiao Tangqiu opened his eyes again, it was to the familiar transfer cabin. He couldn’t wait to open the transfer cabin and climb out, planning to find Shen Yuan first thing. But the next second, he met Shen Yuan’s eyes.
Shen Yuan was really back!
Xiao Tangqiu didn’t have a real feeling of “Shen Yuan came back” before. Until this moment, he finally realized that Shen Yuan was back… Shen Yuan was really back!
He couldn’t wait to rush towards Shen Yuan and hug him.
Shen Yuan paused, then returned a deep hug.
The two held each other for a long time. It took a long time before Xiao Tangqiu raised his head and asked Shen Yuan softly, “What on earth did you want to do at that time?”
Shen Yuan raised his eyebrows, “At that time?”
“Before you died…” Xiao Tangqiu took a deep look at Shen Yuan, imitating Shen Yuan’s move before he died, grabbed Shen Yuan’s fingers and touched the corners of his own mouth, “What did you want to do at that time… ?”
Something seemed to flash across Shen Yuan’s eyes. He opened his mouth and was about to say something, but right at this moment, a scream suddenly came.
“Ahhhhhhh!”
After all the people of the Reincarnation Team climbed out of the transfer cabins, they quietly surrounded Xiao Tangqiu and Shen Yuan. They were motionless and quiet as chickens. No one disturbed them up until the screams rang out and they all moved to look towards the noise.
A person, no, it’s a group of people… They all scrambled towards the direction of the transfer cabins.
Everyone was wounded and bled all over the floor, looking very miserable. Nevertheless, they tried their best to run towards the transfer cabins.
Tang Mianmian cried out in disbelief, “Fuck! What happened?”
In the next moment, they found out. There was a loud explosion from the Newbie Village nearby followed by countless screams.
Xiao Tangqiu suddenly saw a familiar figure from the crowd, and quickly grabbed the person, “…Su Manluo?!”
The person in front of him who was miserably fleeing was clearly Su Manluo whom he had met a few times.
Su Manluo was about to shake off Xiao Tangqiu’s hand, but when she saw that it was Xiao Tangqiu, she gritted her teeth and shouted, “Run! The Abyss Demon has invaded the Abyss City! Run!”
“The Abyss Demon invaded?” Xiao Tangqiu was stunned by the news, “Run? Run where?”
Su Manluo gritted her teeth, “Of course it is to go into the instances! The location of the City of the Abyss is fixed. Once it is invaded by demons, no one can escape. Now we can only run to the instance world for temporary refuge… The Abyss Demon went to Area S first and Area S is long gone. Other than those in the instance world, no one can escape. He’s already in Newbie Village. If you don’t escape now, you’ll never be able to escape again! Hurry!”
All this happened so quickly that nobody had time to react. The newbie had corroded away until there were no bones left. Xiao Tangqiu was the first to react, turning around in disbelief to look at Bai Yushan, “…Did you do this deliberately?”
The others also reacted one by one. Tang Mianmian immediately took a step back and asked loudly, “This is a trap? Do you want us to trip up? You lied to us!”
Yu Fuling, who was just bandaging Bai Yushan’s wound, couldn’t react when she was pushed away by Bai Yushan. She didn’t have the slightest guard up and unexpectedly fell to the ground.
By the time Yu Fuling got up, Bai Yushan had already run to the other side. She looked at the Reincarnation Team coldly. There was no emotion or ups and downs in her voice, “…I lied to you? I was just helping you!”
AD
“You say you were helping us? Stop kidding!” Xiao Tangqiu sneered, “If we went up just earlier, wouldn’t we be the dead people now?”
Tang Mianmian suddenly realized, “She went up earlier! She went up before we came! That’s why her face changed to what it is now!”
Bai Yushan scrapped half of her arm and ruined half of her face. Obviously, the truth was that she had climbed up to the bud to see it before they got here, but deliberately lied to them that the bud was a space passage to leave the island! How coldblooded!
Bai Yushan suddenly laughed, “Hahahaha! I didn’t lie to you! I’m just helping you!”
Xiao Tangqiu sneered, “What the fuck are you still bullshitting for?!”
“That flower bud is indeed not a spatial pathway to leave this island, but it can revive the people we want to resurrect!” Bai Yushan’s tone was extremely excited and she looked at the huge flower bud with crazed admiration, “Dare you believe it? It can help us resurrect anyone we want to resurrect! It really is a god! It is a real god!”
Xiao Tangqiu frowned, “Are you crazy?” It wasn’t that he didn’t believe Bai Yushan’s words, but this woman said previously that the Sacred Tree was not a divine tree, but a liar who raises humans as cattle. But now she changed her words and said that it was a real god? Was she schizophrenic?
“I’m not crazy! I’m extremely clear-headed! Do you know what’s in this bud?” Bai Yushan’s expression was extremely excited, “It’s the heart of the God of Light! When the Abyss Demon secretly took the heart of the God of Light, he hid the heart on this island! In order not to be discovered by others, he planted a demon world’s flower on the God of Light’s heart, intending to consume the light powers. Now this flower is about to bloom! Don’t you see!?”
“As long as the flower is provided with enough food, it can bloom! And once it blooms, it can resurrect anyone we want to resurrect!”
Xiao Tangqiu asked Bai Yushan incredulously, “…Provide enough food? Do you mean people? You just planned to feed that flower our lives?!”
Bai Yushan’s expression became more and more crazed, “The flower is about to bloom! It already grew a little bit bigger after it ate my arm! Look, it’s bigger now!”
Xiao Tangqiu’s heart skipped. He subconsciously turned his head to look at the huge flower bud. After swallowing the newbie, the flower bud really became bigger!

Could it be that the page that Bai Yushan tore from the Book of Light was about this demon world flower?
Bai Yushan concealed what it had on this demonic flower, meaning she had planned this for a long time. She knew that Bai Yuru could only be resurrected by making the demon flower bloom, so she planned to sacrifice all of them to do so?
Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t help but feel chills run down his back. If Bai Yushan had indeed planned this, did it mean that this woman wanted to sacrifice them from the very beginning? So this woman had long stopped regarding them as lives from the first instance they cooperated in?
At this moment, Tang Mianmian’s eyes widened as he yelled in disbelief, “Fuck! It’s really blooming!”
Xiao Tangqiu was shocked. He looked up and saw the huge flower bud that had been growing bigger and bigger after eating the newbie. Quickly, the entire flower bud was already plump to bursting and a big hole opened at the top of the flower bud. It really bloomed!
As a refreshing fragrance spread, the huge petals parted, beautifully picturesque and almost intoxicating. In a blink of an eye, the huge bud bloomed into a huge red flower, its petals dripping with alluring red.
In the heart of the demon flower laid a naked girl.
When Xiao Tangqiu saw the girl, his body froze. Tang Mianmian widened his eyes in disbelief. This girl was Bai Yuru, the player they had seen in a previous instance. The dead girl with her soul imprisoned forever in the secret room… She actually resurrected!
Could dead players really be brought back to life?
Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian looked at each other, both of them revealing incredulous eyes. Xiao Tangqiu thought more than Tang Mianmian. If Bai Yushan could really resurrect Bai Yuru, could he also resurrect Shen Yuan?
But this thought was quickly dismissed. This kind of resurrection method that required so many lives in exchange was too cruel. Even if most of those who died before were the NPCs in the instance… Not to mention he had always felt something was wrong with the entire scenario.
Bai Yushan obviously didn’t have so many concerns. She screamed Bai Yuru’s name in ecstasy and rushed over. The girl lying in the heart of the flower opened her eyes blankly and slowly got up.
“Yuru! Yuru!” Bai Yushan climbed up to the demon world’s flower neatly and took Bai Yuru into her arms, “I’m your sister! I’m your sister!”
Bai Yuru moved her lips, her voice hoarse, “Sister… Sister…”
“Yuru! Yuru!” Bai Yushan buried her face in Bai Yuru’s shoulders and wept bitterly, “I finally found you… This time I will never leave you again! We will be together forever!”
Bai Yuru repeated quietly, “…Be together forever.”
“Yuru?” Bai Yushan was originally holding Bai Yuru happily, but she soon noticed something was wrong. Just when she was about to let go of Bai Yuru, a thick vine suddenly entangled her and tightly wrapped her up.
Bai Yushan’s eyes widened in horror, “No!”
She opened her eyes and realized that “Bai Yuru”‘s hands had turned into two vines, tightly wrapping around her.
“Bai Yuru” entangled Bai Yushan tightly, and repeated softly, “Be together forever…”
“Don’t”
Everything froze at the moment when Bai Yushan opened her eyes in horror. The gorgeously blooming demonic flower suddenly closed its petals again and returned to the shape of a flower bud.
Bai Yushan struggled desperately in the cage of petals. But this time she didn’t have the same mental preparation or good luck as before.
A large amount of transparent flower nectar coated her head and the strong corrosive liquid melted everything instantly.
“Fake, it’s all fake…”
Xiao Tangqiu sighed, “…Everything is fake as expected.”
He was extremely discouraged and did not hesitate to take out the crossbow, firing a bolt at the huge bud. The bolt instantly pierced the demonic flower, ripping a big hole in its huge petal where crystal clear nectar dripped out.
The demonic flower was enraged and a dozen vines rushed towards Xiao Tangqiu at once.
Xue Junli’s expression tightened, “Everyone get ready!”
Everyone fell into a bitter battle again. But as before, except for the enchanted crossbow from Xiao Tangqiu, the other people’s weapons did not have much effect on the demonic flower and they could only run around, dodging, as they were all hounded by the vines.
Xiao Tangqiu was the worst off as the demonic flower was obviously very vengeful. Over ten vines went after him together. Although his weapon was powerful, he couldn’t handle so many vines going after him.
Xiao Tangqiu didn’t notice that as he was entangled by a vine, he was also quickly chased over towards the demonic flower bud.
“Qiuqiu!” Tang Mianmian yelled, but it was too late to stop it.
The demonic flower bud opened again and then swallowed Xiao Tangqiu.
“Qiuqiu!”
The moment Xiao Tangqiu fell into the bud, he opened several more holes in the petals and the extremely corrosive nectar flowed out along the holes. He took the opportunity to temporarily fix himself to the top of the bud and prevent himself from falling into the flower juice.
But soon the demonic flower began to secrete a large amount of nectar again and he gritted his teeth. He must find the weakness of this thing before the juice has completely filled the bud!
At this moment of life and death, he suddenly saw a fist-sized thing in the center of the flower bud. It was flesh-colored and also seemed to have something similar to pulsating blood vessels… It looked like a heart!
Xiao Tangqiu didn’t hesitate to aim the crossbow at the heart-like thing and fire!
He knew very well that if he failed at this moment or he made a mistake in his judgment, he would definitely die here, and there would be no chance of resurrection!
Although he was tense and every nerve in his body was strung tightly, after firing with all his strength, he couldn’t help the countless images that flashed through his mind. It was like a film, scenes from his life began to replay before his eyes. There was Meng Xinghe and also Shen Yuan. The person before him was Shen Yuan for a while, and then Meng Xinghe for a while, but in the end, it became Shen Yuan.
At the moment when the person in front of him fixed into Shen Yuan, he felt a huge explosion happen closely in front of him.
Boom.
An explosion?
He lost all consciousness in an instant.
…But wait a minute! What’s with that film flashback? That was too inauspicious!
Who said he must die? He had already died once, so he shouldn’t have died so quickly for a second time, right?
And what happened “before death”? He knew he wouldn’t die!
…
“Qiuqiu!”
“Qiuqiu! Wake up!”
Xiao Tangqiu opened his eyes instantly, and Tang Mianmian’s familiar face came into view.
“…Why is it you again?”
Tang Mianmian originally had a look of joy, and when he heard Xiao Tangqiu’s words, he suddenly snorted, “What’s the matter with “me again”? It’s you! Why did you faint again!”
“I fainted? Yes, I fainted… Why did I faint? It seems like something exploded?”
Xiao Tangqiu’s mind was a mess and it took a long time to remember what happened before he fainted.
“Yes, it was an explosion! You just rushed into the demonic flower and then you both exploded with a boom!” Tang Mianmian described vividly.
Xiao Tangqiu, “…I also exploded? Then why am I okay now?”
Tang Mianmian looked excited, “Guess!”
Xiao Tangqiu froze for a moment, then his eyes widened in disbelief, “…No way?”
“Yes! You guessed it!” Tang Mianmian jumped up to reveal the person who was standing behind him.
Xiao Tangqiu stared at the person in front of him blankly. After a while, he moved his lips, “…Shen Yuan?” His voice was very soft, as if he was afraid that he would break the illusion in front of him if he spoke any louder.

Wljb Kjcudle kjr mbwqifafis vewyobecvfv, “Lbk lr atlr qbrrlyif? Ktlr lr lwqbrrlyif…”
He clearly had the idea of dying along with the demonic flower. After all, based on his luck, he was really not sure about being able to find the demon flower’s weakness before he died.
Why was it that right now, not only was he not dead, but Shen Yuan was also back?
How was this possible?
He had been so unlucky for twenty-five years… How could his luck suddenly explode at this kind of time?
Xiao Tangqiu was completely stunned until Shen Yuan smiled helplessly and slowly said, “Actually, I didn’t figure out what was going on at first… I was already dead, how can I come back to life again? But after listening to what they said, I think I understand what’s going on.”
Xiao Tangqiu echoed, “What’s going on?”
Shen Yuan said lightly, “The Book of Light, I have also seen it before… If I am not mistaken, the heart of the God of Light can indeed resurrect people who have died, but this resurrection is conditional.”
“What’s the condition? It can’t be a life for a life? Sacrificing someone else’s life to resurrect the person you want to resurrect?” Xiao Tangqiu frowned.
“Of course not. If it is this method of resurrection, what’s the difference between the God of Light and those demons?” Shen Yuan shook his head and continued, “The Book of Light that I read says that only someone with a pure and courageous heart, with a spirit of self-sacrifice and desperation, can withstand the test of the God of Light and resurrect those who they want to resurrect.”
“A person with a pure and courageous heart?” Xiao Tangqiu didn’t react for a while, and then silently pointed to his nose after a long time, “…Me?”
Shen Yuan, “I believe that the Book of Light that Bai Yushan got should be fake, or it has been tampered with. Only the content related to the demonic flower is true and everything else is wrong.”
“The Abyss Demon planted the demonic flower on the God of Light’s heart, trying to consume the power of the God of Light. For so many years, the heart has been polluted by a large amount of demonic energy and has fallen into a state of chaos. Bai Yushan tried to revive Bai Yuru with the same sacrifice method as demons is of course impossible, but your act just purified the God of Light’s heart… So I was successfully resurrected.”
Xiao Tangqiu blankly stared at Shen Yuan for a long time before speaking, “Are you really alive again?”
“Of course it’s true,” Shen Yuan took a step forward, grabbed Xiao Tangqiu’s hand and placed it on his face, “See, I am warm. This is not your imagination.”
Xiao Tangqiu felt the warmth on his fingertips. He stared at Shen Yuan’s face blankly, and reluctantly blinked, “It’s really real… You’re really alive again…”
“Okay! That’s enough! Don’t waste any more time!” Duan Hongzhen finally couldn’t bare it and interrupted their mutual staring by taking a step forward, “…Although I know that the captain’s resurrection is a happy event, I beg you, the most important thing is to escape from this instance right now. There will be no time! If we can’t leave here before the time limit, we will all be wiped out!”
Xiao Tangqiu immediately came back to himself. They were still in the instance! They must escape quickly!
Shen Yuan thought aloud, “If I’m not mistaken, the demonic flower’s spacial passage should be at the top of the Sacred Tree that it parasitizes. Let’s climb it!”
Xiao Tangqiu nodded without hesitation, “Go! To the top of the tree!”
A large group of islanders was still surrounding the Sacred Tree. When they saw Xiao Tangqiu coming out of the tree hole, the people underneath immediately threw stones in anger again.
“Don’t worry about them! Let’s climb!”
Xiao Tangqiu took out his mountaineering equipment, pulled the rope tight and quickly climbed to the top of the tree.
As they climbed higher and higher, the stones could no longer reach them. But before Xiao Tangqiu could breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly realized that the Sacred Tree they were climbing began to become transparent…
The Sacred Tree was about to disappear!
The Sacred Tree only appeared in the evening. Once the islanders finish gathering their food, the Sacred Tree would soon vanish!
“There’s almost no time! Hurry up!” Xiao Tangqiu urged loudly.
Everyone immediately accelerated their climbing speed, and finally, they successfully climbed to the top of the tree.
At this moment, the Sacred Tree began to disappear. Everything gradually became transparent starting from the bottom roots of the tree to the top. The few newbies who remained below wanted to climb up, but they only climbed a few steps before falling back down to the ground because of the Sacred Tree’s disappearance. They could only desperately and unwillingly shout.
As soon as Xiao Tangqiu’s group climbed to the top of the Sacred Tree, the entire Sacred Tree disappeared.
Xiao Tangqiu originally thought they would fall, but he suddenly heard a familiar system sound in their ears—
“Congratulations, dear players, for completing the D-level mission [Eternal Revival Island], the mission goal [Escape from Revival Island] is achieved, the time limit is 1 day, the player receives 500 points…
“The mission is complete, leaving the instance soon…”
They finally managed to escape!
When Xiao Tangqiu opened his eyes again, it was to the familiar transfer cabin. He couldn’t wait to open the transfer cabin and climb out, planning to find Shen Yuan first thing. But the next second, he met Shen Yuan’s eyes.
Shen Yuan was really back!
Xiao Tangqiu didn’t have a real feeling of “Shen Yuan came back” before. Until this moment, he finally realized that Shen Yuan was back… Shen Yuan was really back!
He couldn’t wait to rush towards Shen Yuan and hug him.
Shen Yuan paused, then returned a deep hug.
The two held each other for a long time. It took a long time before Xiao Tangqiu raised his head and asked Shen Yuan softly, “What on earth did you want to do at that time?”
Shen Yuan raised his eyebrows, “At that time?”
“Before you died…” Xiao Tangqiu took a deep look at Shen Yuan, imitating Shen Yuan’s move before he died, grabbed Shen Yuan’s fingers and touched the corners of his own mouth, “What did you want to do at that time… ?”
Something seemed to flash across Shen Yuan’s eyes. He opened his mouth and was about to say something, but right at this moment, a scream suddenly came.
“Ahhhhhhh!”
After all the people of the Reincarnation Team climbed out of the transfer cabins, they quietly surrounded Xiao Tangqiu and Shen Yuan. They were motionless and quiet as chickens. No one disturbed them up until the screams rang out and they all moved to look towards the noise.
A person, no, it’s a group of people… They all scrambled towards the direction of the transfer cabins.
Everyone was wounded and bled all over the floor, looking very miserable. Nevertheless, they tried their best to run towards the transfer cabins.
Tang Mianmian cried out in disbelief, “Fuck! What happened?”
In the next moment, they found out. There was a loud explosion from the Newbie Village nearby followed by countless screams.
Xiao Tangqiu suddenly saw a familiar figure from the crowd, and quickly grabbed the person, “…Su Manluo?!”
The person in front of him who was miserably fleeing was clearly Su Manluo whom he had met a few times.
Su Manluo was about to shake off Xiao Tangqiu’s hand, but when she saw that it was Xiao Tangqiu, she gritted her teeth and shouted, “Run! The Abyss Demon has invaded the Abyss City! Run!”
“The Abyss Demon invaded?” Xiao Tangqiu was stunned by the news, “Run? Run where?”
Su Manluo gritted her teeth, “Of course it is to go into the instances! The location of the City of the Abyss is fixed. Once it is invaded by demons, no one can escape. Now we can only run to the instance world for temporary refuge… The Abyss Demon went to Area S first and Area S is long gone. Other than those in the instance world, no one can escape. He’s already in Newbie Village. If you don’t escape now, you’ll never be able to escape again! Hurry!”
