Chapter 243 Your power is too great; it needs to be restrained. [Third update, requesting monthly votes]

"The bad news is serious! The bad news is that I can only cure one of them!"

When Cheng Xiao said this, Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru were both struck dumb!
Can only one of them be cured?
Li Xiaoyao now felt that the great joys and sorrows of life came too quickly!

He asked urgently, "Senior! Is what you say true? How could this be?"

“He’s right. And this isn’t something that can be cured with medicine…”

Fang Ge spoke up at the right moment, letting out a long sigh, "The Nuwa clan are true gods who possess the bloodline of Pangu. The bloodline of the goddess Nuwa remains in the human world forever. This supreme divine bloodline and spiritual power... is completely inherited from generation to generation."

"The gods are immortal, but if they reproduce, the children will absorb their mother's spiritual power, and they will lose their immortality, age rapidly, and not live past ten years."

"It seems that since becoming pregnant, Miss Zhao has not only failed to take any supplements, but has also been affected by the corruption of the Demon Locking Tower, which has depleted a lot of her vital energy... Now she is using most of her spiritual power to nourish the fetus."

Even if the delivery goes smoothly and the fetus is unharmed, the mother's lifespan will likely be even shorter... It's hard to say whether she will live for another year or two.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoyao looked incredulous and unable to accept it: "How could this be? Ling'er is only sixteen years old... Isn't there a way to avoid this situation?"

In fact, there are.

The strongest Nuwa clan member in the Legend of Sword and Fairy series is Zi Xuan, Zhao Ling'er's maternal grandmother and Lin Qing'er's mother, who has 200 years of cultivation.

In the game version, in order to defy the laws of nature and help Xu Changqing, who only has 27 years of lifespan, become an immortal, Zixuan did not hesitate to suppress her divine power to refine pills, and used her spiritual power to seal Qing'er, preventing her daughter from developing and absorbing her spiritual power.

Its true strength can be described as the "supreme power in the human realm"! It can even approach or rival the power of the Chonglou (a legendary martial arts master) in the human world!

This is certainly partly due to the fact that Chonglou could not unleash his full power in the mortal realm... but it is still extremely powerful!
Getting back to the main point, under normal circumstances, if one wants to prolong the lifespan of the Nuwa clan, one must either not give birth, or after giving birth, seal them away.

Neither of these options is acceptable to Zhao Ling'er and Li Xiaoyao.

However, the Zhongzhou team actually has unconventional methods.

"Do you remember how you were resurrected?" Fang Ge asked, feigning thought.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yueru also quietly pricked up her ears.

"Brother Fang means... that we'll revive Ling'er in the same way?" Li Xiaoyao asked excitedly, as if he had grasped a lifeline.

"It's not entirely wrong."

Cheng Xiao chimed in at the opportune moment, "If we gather the Five Elemental Pearls, the Phoenix Eggshell, and the Qilin Horn within a month, we can heal Miss Zhao's current injuries. As for childbirth... it will probably be about two more months."

"However, when spiritual energy is depleted, one still faces the pain of separation and death... All the descendants of Nuwa throughout the ages bear a heavy fate, each generation must sacrifice themselves for their cause and not die a good death. After death, their souls will not enter the cycle of reincarnation, but will be attached to the Holy Spirit Pearl."

"In other words, the idea of ​​seeking reincarnation to continue a past life is also nonsense."

Fang Ge chimed in, "The resurrection method, in essence, is about finding a new, vibrant body for the soul. Once your body is repaired, it can house your soul. However..."

Completely bewildered by the two's charade, Li Xiaoyao couldn't help but ask, "But what?"

"The gods' spiritual power was depleted, which led to their death. If Miss Zhao wants to change her body, she must first give up Nuwa's spiritual power."

Fang Ge calmly said, "I will transfer all of Nuwa's spiritual power to the child in advance. When her life ends, I will then intervene to stop her soul, defy fate, and reshape her physical body so that she can avoid death."

Only those who possess no spiritual power from Nuwa can be considered as descendants of Nuwa.

"But in that case, she would become an ordinary person. And young children do not know how to use spiritual power, so this great power will remain dormant for more than ten years."

"Miss Zhao bears the destiny of saving all living beings, and she is probably unwilling to give up this power." Throughout history, none of the Nuwa clan has met a good end.

Many people worship them, perhaps simply because they sacrificed their lives at a critical moment to bring peace to the world.

Rather than saying they are descendants of gods, it would be more accurate to say they are shields left by Nuwa for humankind, like sacrificial offerings... Gods, demons, monsters—anything that humans cannot fight against is sealed away with the blood of Nuwa's clan.

“This…” Li Xiaoyao did not want Zhao Ling’er to bear the burden of saving the world and then die because of it.

Ultimately, it is up to Zhao Ling'er to make the choice.

"How about this... let's ask her ourselves. After all, the most convenient time to transfer spiritual energy is when the fetus is in the womb."

Fang Ge wasn't annoyed to see Li Xiaoyao hesitate.

Even if Li Xiaoyao didn't hesitate, Zhao Ling'er would find it difficult to listen to him.

As a descendant of Nuwa, Zhao Ling'er possesses an inherent "concern for the common people" buff, making it highly likely she won't cooperate obediently. She'll wait for the spiritual energy to naturally transfer. She herself will then perform her duties; if she dies in the process, then so be it.

If they don't die, they wait until they are extremely weak before considering this method of changing bodies to prolong their lives.

Even if Fang Ge and the others couldn't be found at the crucial moment and things couldn't be done, Zhao Ling'er probably wouldn't regret it.

This demonstrates the great love and vision of the Nuwa clan.

The mission of the Central Continent Team is to stop the Water Demon Beast from destroying the Nanzhao Kingdom.

The Heavenly Gods' mission is for Zhao Ling'er to die... her physical death is sufficient.

If everything remains the same and follows the original storyline, the Water Demon Beast will inevitably die before Zhao Ling'er.

Moreover, the Central Continent Team only needs to stop it, not actually kill the Water Demon Beast.

To maximize profits, the [New Celestial Team] must return to the Main God Space, and then Linaia must complete the transfer to the Central Continent Team.

Meanwhile, the Central Continent Team is capable of dealing with the Water Demon Beast and the Moon Worshipper, but the New Celestial Team is not.

If Zhao Ling'er dies, but the Water Demon Beast remains unharmed... then the demon Zheng Zha will be no match for the Water Demon Beast.

If the demon Zheng Zha fails to subdue the water monster, their world of Sword and Fairy will be flooded, and it's uncertain whether the team members, who have been transformed into summoned creatures, will survive! How can we talk about rebuilding the team at a low price?

In conclusion, Zhao Ling'er must die before the Water Demon Beast, and at the time of her death, the Water Demon Beast and Bai Yue must lose their ability to cause trouble.

How to break the game?

The answer is... kill Bai Yue first, then put the Water Demon Beast into the inner world. And while the Central Continent team is still trying to defeat the Water Demon Beast, put Zhao Ling'er into a state of death.

Since the world of the Legend of Sword and Fairy in the 【New Celestial Team】 does not have the Central Continent Team, then there is even less of the Water Demon Beast from Fang Ge's Inner World!
They wouldn't have to worry about the water monster destroying the world.

It's difficult, but not impossible.

However, this means that Li Xiaoyao in the Celestial God timeline doesn't have the same happiness as Li Xiaoyao in the Central Plains timeline. Fortunately, he still has Lin Yueru by his side, which is still much better than the original story.

—The goal is to ensure Zhao Ling'er dies at the right time. And to preserve Zhao Ling'er in the [New Celestial Team] world as much as possible…

This descendant of Nuwa must not be too powerful.
