The Heaven-shattering: I and Wu Shi compete for the throne

Chapter 748 Resurrecting the Ruthless Empress Brother
Because he had some knowledge of methods for resurrecting the dead, it didn't take long for Li Daoming to deduce the method.

At that time, Li Daoshen was relieved that the resurrection of the ruthless empress's brother would not be difficult because of his great karmic connection with a quasi-immortal emperor and four half-step quasi-immortal emperors.

The price to pay for his resurrection is not much different from that required to resurrect a normal first-generation Holy Body of the Four Extremes Mystic Realm.

How can a dead being be resurrected?

After he finished his deductions, he realized that to resurrect a dead being, one could not simply pull the dead being out of the river of time; rather, one had to employ certain methods.

Although the Immortal Emperor can touch the past and return to it, unless he has the power to sweep across all the heavens and even the entire universe, the past cannot be changed.

If one were to directly retrieve the dead from the river of time, it would be to alter the past.

However, if one attempts to change the past and disturbs the river of time, one will inevitably face the backlash of time, resulting in immense consequences. Powerful enemies, drawn by cause and effect and destiny, will traverse the river of time to stop one.

Therefore, if the Celestial Emperor wants to resurrect the dead, he cannot simply retrieve them from the river of time.

The only way is to go back to the past, before the resurrected being dies, to reflect it and allow it to take the place of the dying being and meet its original fate.

In this way, the past will not be changed, the backlash required to retrieve the dead from the river of time will be greatly reduced, and no great karmic consequences will be created, thus avoiding the attraction of powerful enemies under the pull of cause and effect and destiny.

Furthermore, the magnitude of this backlash depends solely on the resurrected being, regardless of other external factors. The higher the resurrected being's cultivation level, the stronger its power, and the more profound its origin, the stronger the backlash will be when it is resurrected.

With his strength, the backlash he would suffer from resurrecting a first-generation holy body from the Four Extremes Secret Realm would be negligible, utterly insignificant to him.

As for resurrecting the dead, it would affect the order of the heavens and the river of time, and would reduce the heavens' recognition of him!

This isn't a big problem!

He estimated that his Dao body, presiding over the operation of the Supreme Immortal Emperor's array, could completely eliminate this slightest influence in less than a breath.

However, according to his deduction, if the being to be resurrected was killed by an Immortal Emperor or even a powerhouse above the Immortal Emperor level, then things would be very different.

Because the Immortal Emperor and those above the Immortal Emperor level are too powerful, they transcend the river of time and stand in a higher dimension, making them extremely sensitive to cause and effect and destiny.

If someone tries to resurrect a creature they have killed, they will most likely issue a warning and, following the unseen cause and effect, prevent the resurrection of the creature they killed.

However, the Ruthless Empress's brother perished at the hands of the Feathered Divine Dynasty. Apart from the Feathered Emperor, the Feathered Divine Dynasty had no one at the pinnacle of the Dao realm. Moreover, the Ruthless Empress's brother's cultivation and strength were not high, so reviving him would be extremely simple.

He had no reason to hesitate about resurrecting the ruthless empress's brother.

So Li Daoming told her directly that the Immortal Emperor could resurrect the dead.

Having received a definite answer, the ruthless empress inquired further to confirm his cultivation level. After confirming that he had broken through to the Immortal Emperor realm, she rarely showed such excitement. Despite her exhaustion, she urged him to revive her deceased brother.

Seeing this, even though Li Daoming knew that the ruthless empress's brother was her obsession, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

In addition, he had just acted recklessly, dragging her, Xia Qinghuang, Jiang Qianxi, Kong Lin, Xin Hua, Ye Yixian, Ye Yunxian, and Ye Liuxian into dual cultivation with him, so he knew she must be harboring anger.

Moreover, he didn't just intend to mess around once; he planned to have all eight of them together whenever he practiced Yin-Yang dual cultivation with them in the future.

So he took advantage of the situation and proposed some unequal treaties to the ruthless empress. For example, she would not pursue his recklessness this time, and she promised that when he cultivated Yin and Yang with her in the future, she would allow Ye Yixian, Ye Yunxian, Ye Liuxian, Xia Qinghuang, Jiang Qianxi, Kong Lin, and Xin Hua to participate.

For example, he could move the temple to the Ninth Heaven, settle there, and make their relationship public, thus making her his rightful empress.

For example, unlocking some poses she was previously unwilling to unlock.

……

Upon hearing the unequal treaty proposed by Li Daoming, the ruthless empress was furious at his taking advantage of her misfortune, but under his pressure, she eventually agreed.

Although she knew that even if she disagreed, Li Daoming would definitely intervene and revive her brother.

But when they will be resurrected, and when they will be able to see people again, is uncertain.

And even if she doesn't agree to the unequal treaty proposed by Li Daoming, will it make a difference?

No!

She had already succeeded with him, and together with Xia Qinghuang, Jiang Qianxi, Kong Lin, Xin Hua, Ye Yixian, Ye Yunxian, and Ye Liuxian, they had been practicing Yin-Yang dual cultivation with him for over three hundred years.

She had seen all the private things between them, both the things she could and couldn't see, and even if she didn't agree, that wouldn't change.

Moreover, she was certain that even if she disagreed, he would still bring Xia Qinghuang, Jiang Qianxi, Kong Lin, Xin Hua, Ye Yixian, Ye Yunxian, and Ye Liuxian along when he sought her out for Yin-Yang dual cultivation in the future.

Since that's the case, it's better to agree to Li Daoming's unequal treaty and let him revive her brother as soon as possible.

Furthermore, before marrying her, Li Daoming promised her that he would not require her to live in the Ninth Heaven, would not make their relationship public, would not act recklessly, and would allow her to cultivate Yin and Yang with Xia Qinghuang, Jiang Qianxi, Kong Lin, Xin Hua, Ye Yixian, Ye Yunxian, and Ye Liuxian... but now he has gone back on his word.

If even the mighty Emperor of Wuji doesn't keep his word, then she certainly doesn't need to!

Having received the ruthless empress's promise, Li Daoming did not hesitate and immediately took action.

I traversed the river of time and returned to the past, arriving at the point when the ruthless empress's brother was about to die and was sacrificed to become an immortal cauldron.

With the power of the Celestial Emperor, the image of the ruthless Empress's brother was projected, allowing him to die in her place and retrieve him from the river of time.

Sure enough, his deduction was correct!

He pulled the ruthless empress's brother out of the river of time, but he did not change the past. Moreover, because the ruthless empress's brother was too weak, the backlash he suffered from pulling him out of the river of time was extremely weak, not even enough to cause him any injury.

Even with the slight loss of power he expended using the power of the Immortal Emperor to project his image of the ruthless Empress brother, it still wouldn't be enough.

He can fully recover with a single breath and a single exhale.

After resurrecting the ruthless empress's brother, Li Daoming pondered for a moment and also resurrected the beings in the human realm that he planned to resurrect after the Chaotic Ancient Era.
