Chapter 154 Drops of Life

The central area of ​​the Landes Forest, once again exposed to the sunlight, was a scene of desolation, littered with thick layers of withered vines and fallen leaves.

"Did it... succeed?"

Behind a tree in the distance, Isabel watched the changes unfold before her in disbelief.

The mother kangaroo relaxed her tense muscles and gently patted her pouch to soothe her frightened baby kangaroo.

The Salamence shook off the withered vines clinging to its body and let out a tired but relieved growl.

Arcanine ran to Isabel's side and gently touched her with its nose to indicate that she was safe.

Absol gazed silently in the direction where the spatial rift had originally been, his red eyes thoughtful.

Isabel immediately realized what was happening, frantically restarting her livestreaming equipment and pointing the camera at the suddenly clear view in front of her.

Seeing the forest devoid of vines, his voice trembled with excitement: "Ladies and gentlemen! Ladies and gentlemen! Did you see that? The vines—the vines have all withered and disappeared! Mr. Lin—Mr. Lin succeeded! He resolved the crisis in the Land Forest!"

The official Gaul livestream room was instantly flooded with countless viewers, and the chat exploded with comments:

My God! This is incredible!

The vines have disappeared!

Where is Mr. Lin?

He succeeded! He really succeeded!

We're saved!

Viewers from across China also flocked to the scene upon hearing the news, crossing the "walls" to offer their congratulations and inquire about the situation.

[Awesome!! Teacher Lin is awesome!]

[I saw the footage! The vines are really gone!]

Where is Teacher Lin? Is she safe?

Where are Pikachu and Riolu?

What just happened? Please explain!

[Congratulations, friends in Gaul! The crisis is over!]

As Isabel watched the comments, she realized that the most crucial person hadn't appeared yet, so she quickly turned the camera towards the spatial rift.

However, all that remains there now is a slightly distorted patch of air and faint residual energy fluctuations; Lin Dao is nowhere to be seen.

"Mr. Lin should still be inside the rift space, handling the aftermath—"

Isabel tried to remain calm as she explained, but her anxiety grew stronger.

At this very moment, not only she was paying attention, but also the high-ranking officials of various countries who were watching this place through satellites and high-altitude reconnaissance equipment were clearly seeing the dramatic changes in the Landes Forest.

Signals that the crisis was over were quickly disseminated through various channels.

Some breathed a sigh of relief, some frowned, and many more turned their attention to the key figure who had yet to appear.

Inside the crack space.

Celebi looked at the aging Lindo being supported by Lucario, and his heart was filled with emotion and self-reproach.

It gracefully rose from the dissipating remains of vegetation, hovering in front of Lin Dao, its tiny palm gently resting on Lin Dao's wrinkled forehead.

"Bibi~bi~~" (Thank you, Agent. I'm sorry you had to pay such a price—now, please let me heal you.)

Amidst the clear, telepathic sounds, a soft, vibrant green aura rippled around the shrine.

It turned around, like a cheerful little green fish, and plunged headfirst into the glowing pool beside it.

The moment the rabbi entered the pool, it seemed to be infused with boundless vitality, shining brightly and even emitting a melodious, wind-chime-like babbling sound.

A moment later, Celebi flew out from the center of the pool, holding a strange drop of water, no bigger than a fingernail, between its tiny hands. The droplet contained astonishing life energy and emitted a seven-colored halo.

The Life Drops are a supreme healing substance that embodies a portion of the essence of the Shrab and the essence of this pool full of natural energy.

The shrub carefully and gently dripped this precious drop of life-giving water onto Lin Dao's pale and withered hair.

The moment the water droplet touched his body, it did not slide off, but instantly melted, transforming into a warm and moist rainbow-colored film that enveloped Lin Dao's entire body.

Within the membrane of light, a miracle occurred.

Lin Dao's wrinkled, loose, and aging skin was quickly restored to firmness and a healthy glow, as if it had been ironed smooth.

The once white and dry hair, starting from the roots, regained its glossy black shine and became more supple and vibrant.

His sunken eye sockets regained their fullness, his hunched back straightened up again, and his weak breath rose steadily, even becoming more profound and lingering than before!

Moreover, Lin Daoneng could clearly feel that his waveguide power, which had been almost completely drained, had not only been fully restored, but its total amount and purity had also been significantly improved!

He felt as if an inexhaustible force was surging within him, and his control over the aura had reached a new level. He even had a vague premonition that he might be able to try to project and apply the aura power in a more specific way, like Pokémon using moves!

In just a few seconds, Lin Dao went from an old man on the verge of death to a young man in unprecedented condition, even surpassing his former glory!

"Pikachu! Pikachu pikachu!"

Pikachu burst into tears of joy, jumped into Lin Dao's arms, and rubbed its little head against him.

Lucario finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Lin Dao, who had recovered completely and even looked more radiant than before, his eyes filled with relief and joy.

"How does it feel, Agent?"

The rabbi asked with concern.

"Better than ever before."

Lin Dao stretched his arms, feeling the surging power within him, and sincerely bowed to the Silavi to express his gratitude.

"Thank you so much, Shramana. You not only healed me, but also enhanced my power."

"Bibi~" (This is your reward.) Celebi flew around him a little embarrassedly, then landed on his shoulder, curiously looking at Lucario and Pikachu.

"Your companions are all outstanding, especially this newly evolved Aura Master."

Lucario nodded politely to Celebi.

With the crisis resolved and his health restored, Lin Dao finally had time to inquire about the whole story in detail.

He looked at the shrub: "Shrabah, can you tell me why you are here, and why you fell into such a slumber? And what about the expansion and aggression of the vines outside?"

The shrub sat on Lindao's shoulder, dangling his little feet, and began to recount his experiences through telepathy.

It turns out that the Celebi in front of us is one of the individuals in the Celebi family of the Pokémon world that has been selected and blessed to be the most suitable to take on the role of "anchor point of the new world".

Its mission is to bring with it a portion of the fundamental laws of time and the forest, to arrive ahead of time in the new world that is undergoing integration, and to use its own existence as an "anchor" to stabilize and accelerate the process of completing and adapting the relevant laws of the new world.

However, the laws governing the two worlds differed more than expected.

In order to maintain its existence and fulfill its anchoring duties, Celebi consumed a huge amount of primordial energy and eventually had to fall into a deep "lawful slumber" to reduce consumption. At the same time, it activated the highest level of self-protection, the "natural defense state"—that is, the plant monster and the extending vines.
