Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Optimizing the Five Hearts Towards the Sky

Chapter 701 Thoughts

This was Chen Yuan's first attempt at condensing the soul essence of a true spirit out of thin air after mastering the branch of the true spirit. However, he did not expect to be able to perform this task on a world-class chaotic origin life form right from the start.

"Gathering the essence of the soul is indeed much more complicated than the reincarnation of a true spirit. I'm essentially doing the work of the source world as well."

Chen Yuan carefully infused the ethereal spirit before him with Hunyuan energy, gradually reshaping Gu Jun's soul origin.

He felt somewhat powerless, mainly because Gu Jun's soul essence was too strong, at least hundreds of millions of times stronger than his own. Reshaping this origin was no different from asking an ant to build a pyramid out of thin air.

"As expected, the soul path of the second level is still not enough to shake the soul of a world-class Chaos Origin. If it were the ultimate level, that would be better."

Chen Yuan shook his head inwardly. Reaching the ultimate level of his soul was no less transformative than breaking free from a cage, albeit a cage at the level of the soul.

At that time, his soul essence will increase countless times, making it much easier to condense the soul origin for Gu Jun.

"Fortunately, I only need to condense one ten-thousandth of its soul essence; I'll leave the rest to Elder Brother."

With ample energy, Chen Yuan was confident he could accomplish this, which was why he didn't wait for his soul to reach its ultimate state—because Yuan provided so much energy.

Of course, the main reason was that Gu Jun only agreed to pay the reward after his resurrection, so as not to be deceived.

Chen Yuan was unwilling to wait hundreds of days to obtain the Dao of Escape, so he decided to take action now.

As for whether Gu Jun will keep his promise after his resurrection—just kidding, Yuan is standing right here. With this lord as his guarantor, Chen Yuan isn't worried about the other party going back on their word.

In this way, Chen Yuan spent a full twenty days to gradually recreate one ten-thousandth of Gu Jun's soul essence, during which time Yuan He, the Palace Master of Jade Palace, stayed by his side the whole time.

"It really is Gu Jun's soul aura—" Yuan stared intently at Chen Yuan's movements. Seeing Gu Jun's soul origin emerge from nothingness and then slowly become complete, he knew that his old friend who had passed away countless ages was really going to come back to life!

Especially when Gu Jun's soul essence condensed to more than one ten-thousandth, Yuan was already confident that he could completely restore him to his peak state. However, considering Chen Yuan's cautious actions, and worried that he might cause some trouble if he spoke rashly, he refrained from making any moves.

On the other hand, the Jade Palace Master's eyesight was not as good as Yuan's. She only sensed a trace of her father's soul aura just now, and she immediately became excited.

"Father—" Her body trembled, but she dared not make a sound, afraid of disturbing Chen Yuan who was concentrating on performing the resurrection technique. However, as she recalled the past, tears welled up in her eyes.

Just then.

"It's done." Chen Yuan withdrew his soul power, let out a long sigh, and said wearily, "Senior Gu Jun's soul essence has been condensed to one ten-thousandth. Now it's up to you, Brother Yuan."

"Don't worry." Yuan smiled slightly, took the wisp of soul essence from Chen Yuan's fingers, then took out a bottle of divine liquid that glowed with colorful light and dripped a few drops onto Gu Jun's soul.

Besides the Seven-Colored Divine Liquid, he also took out seven or eight different kinds of treasures, such as a piece of wood with a greenish luster and a piece of jade that glowed.

After Yuan refined these treasures into liquid, he dripped them all into Gu Jun's soul.

In a short while, Gu Jun's soul essence began to repair itself rapidly, much faster than when Chen Yuan reshaped it. In less than an hour, his soul essence expanded by about a hundred times.

"That's about it." Yuan nodded slightly. "Although he's still severely injured, he can recover on his own, and more importantly, this amount of essence is enough to wake Gu Jun up."

Yuan then moved his fingers again, injecting endless primordial energy into Gu Jun's body. After absorbing this energy, Gu Jun's essence immediately generated a continuous stream of soul power.

A moment later, a complete soul appeared before the three of them, and the soul looked exactly like Gu Jun.

"It's done." Yuan smiled slightly, then gave a soft rebuke: "Gu Jun, now that your soul is complete, wake up immediately!"

"Wake up quickly!"

"wake up!"

As Gu Jun's soul suddenly trembled, he instantly opened his eyes, and a powerful pressure spread out. However, after being blocked by Yuan, it was as gentle as a breeze when it landed on Chen Yuan and the other two half-Hunyuan.

About two or three seconds later, the confusion in Gu Jun's eyes disappeared, and he regained his memories.

"Brother Elder!" The moment Gu Jun saw the old man before him, all his oppressive aura vanished, and he exclaimed excitedly, "I'm resurrected! Haha! I'm finally resurrected!"

He looked intently at Yuan: "Was my resurrection thanks to Brother Yuan?"

Although he had made a deal with Chen Yuan in the Origin Space, the other party was, after all, only a half-chaotic Origin life form.

To be honest, Gu Jun didn't have much hope, believing that he couldn't be resurrected in a short time and would have to wait until that half-chaotic being broke free from its cage.

But since he has now been resurrected, and the first person he saw when he opened his eyes was Elder Brother, he naturally assumed that it was Lord Hunyuan who had done it.

But the result was unexpected.

"Of course not. Your soul has been completely scattered; how could I possibly have the ability to rebuild your origin?"

Yuan shook his head and sighed, "Thanks to Brother Chen's help, you had a chance to be resurrected. You should be thanking him."

After he finished speaking, he stepped to the side, revealing the two people behind him.

Gu Jun was slightly taken aback, then glanced around and saw Chen Yuan and Gu Yao behind Yuan. He immediately recognized Chen Yuan as the being who had been talking to him in the Origin Space.

He first nodded slightly to his daughter, then looked at Chen Yuan with a smile: "Thank you very much for your help, young friend Chen."

Although he still had some doubts, feeling that a half-Chaotic Origin Lifeform shouldn't have this ability, since Yuan had said so, Gu Jun had to accept it no matter what.

"It's just a transaction, no need for thanks." Chen Yuan shook his head slightly.

"Um----"

Upon hearing this, Gu Jun paused for a moment. Since he had been resurrected, the previously agreed-upon deal was now open to discussion.

He wasn't trying to renege on his debt; it was just that as a world-class Chaos Origin life form, he should have the right to fight for more benefits when facing a half-Chaos Origin.

For example, if you were to be stationed in the Origin World for ten thousand years—could the timeframe be shorter?

But just as he was about to speak, Yuan suddenly coughed lightly and said, "Brother Gu Jun, Brother Chen has gone to great lengths for you this time."

"I've heard about your previous deal. Brother, I think that since you're indebted to them, you should behave yourself."

The terms of the transaction must be fulfilled.

"As for other thoughts—I hope you won't think about them."
