Magic: Reincarnate from high-voltage electricity at the start, level up independently.

The moment the black-haired, vicious-dog-like girl saw the face of the severed head in Su Lingbai's hand, her pupils constricted sharply, and she uttered a curse:

"Holy crap! Chu Ge!"

The loud sound echoed and reverberated in the sealed room, startling all the girls imprisoned in glass boxes around them.

Their expressions were blank and lifeless, like soulless puppets, mechanically turning their necks and looking in the direction from which the sound came.

Xu Wan's eyes widened, becoming as big as copper bells, her face filled with utter shock.

Su Lingbai took in the whole scene and instantly understood that the only person Xu Wan truly admired was Chu Ge, whom she was holding in her arms at that moment.

A faint smile played on her lips as she spoke softly, "Now, what are your thoughts?"

Xu Wan remained silent, her eyes swirling with conflicting emotions, still immersed in the shocking scene before her.

After a moment, she forcibly suppressed the turmoil in her heart, averted her gaze from Chu Ge's head, looked up at Su Lingbai, and asked in a solemn tone, "Did you kill Chu Ge?"

"It wasn't me."

Su Lingbai gently shook her head, without hiding anything, and slowly told Xu Wan everything she knew.

When Xu Wan learned that Chu Ge had been brutally dismembered and that the girl with the snake-like body had retrieved his shattered remains from the deep sea, she fell into a long silence once again.

After a long while, she let out a soft sigh.

"Sigh, Old Chu, you were so young, how could you leave us like this... It's really unacceptable."

"With you gone, this Great Emperor will lose a formidable foe of equal strength, and the long road to enlightenment ahead will likely become incredibly boring."

"And that guy Hagiran, I wonder what he's doing on Eternal Star. If she knew you were dead, she'd probably cry her eyes out."

"Sigh, she's pitiful too. She's been licking your boots for so long without ever confessing to you. Now, she doesn't need to confess anymore; she can just live a life of widowhood."

"If fifteen-year-old Hajiran can live to be a hundred, then he can guard for eighty-five years. Tsk tsk, at such a young age, he has already avoided decades of detours compared to others."

After Xu Wan finished her soft sigh, she looked again at Chu Ge's head in Su Lingbai's arms.

Chu Ge's hair and cheeks were covered with layers of ice crystals, making her look truly pitiful. Xu Wan shook her head helplessly, her tone tinged with melancholy.

"Old Chu, look at you, you've only been in this world for a few days and you've already been eaten, and your head has even been made into an ice pop."

"Of course, the most regrettable thing is—"

At this point, Xu Wan's eyes suddenly turned sharp and fierce, her tone mixed with melancholy and the detached acceptance of life and death that comes with being a strong person.

"That means there will never be another chance to fight you fair and square."

"Life and death are determined by fate. Cultivation is about traversing mountains of corpses and seas of blood, paving the way with countless bones. Even if you aspire to reach the pinnacle, dominate all ages, and look down upon all living beings, in the end, you will not escape life and death and will turn into a skeleton."

Su Lingbai stood quietly to the side, listening attentively to all of Xu Wan's soliloquy without interrupting her in the slightest.

After the other person finished speaking, she slowly asked, "Are you and Chu Ge on good terms? You seem to care about her a lot. But after listening to you say so much, I don't feel that sad or upset."

"We were just classmates, and our relationship wasn't particularly close."

Xu Wan answered calmly.

"We share the same philosophy of spiritual practice, have the same aspirations, and have common topics, so we get along well. Strictly speaking, we are like-minded friends who appreciate each other, rather than close, intimate friends."

Su Lingbai nodded slightly, her gaze calmly fixed on Xu Wan inside the glass case.

"Xu Wan, if you want to fight me, wait until your physical body is completely reconstructed. Then I will give you a chance to fight."

"At that time, I will make you clearly understand the insurmountable gap in strength between us."

"But I will never let you leave before that. You will stay here quietly and be my puppet."

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Lingbai carefully took Chu Ge's head back into her arms and turned to leave.

Reaching the iron gate, she glanced back at this dreamlike, fairytale-like cage, then gently closed the heavy iron gate, as if afraid of disturbing this tranquil space.

……

Back in her room, Su Lingbai meticulously restored the floorboards that had been lifted up and moved the bed back to its original position.

She carefully placed Chu Ge's head back into the freezer for preservation, composed herself, and prepared to proceed with the most important task ahead.

Collect monster cores.

Su Lingbai had already planned it out. She intended to mobilize a massive amount of magic power to construct a repair array, using Chu Ge's head and remaining fragments of flesh as a medium to reshape her complete body.

Then, by fusing the powerful Heavenly Soul into it and feeding the other party the Ginkgo Divine Fruit, they should be able to be resurrected.

As for whether it can truly reverse life and death, only by trying it yourself can you know the result.

After all, this was Su Lingbai's first time doing something like this, and she didn't know if the fruit was really as magical as the legends said.

Su Lingbai instructed Xiao Caihua to guard the coffin in the courtyard closely to prevent any accidents from happening.

After arranging everything, he left the Shirare Bell Shrine alone.

……

The world was covered in a vast expanse of white snow, and a fierce blizzard swept across the frozen land.

Halfway up the snow-capped mountain, a slender figure walked steadily against the wind and snow. Her black leather shoes left deep footprints on the thick snow, which were quickly covered and buried by the falling snow.

This is Su Lingbai's first destination on this trip.

Deep within this frozen snow mountain dwells a top-tier SS-class demonic beast, infamous throughout the Witch Star, its power so formidable that ordinary extraordinary beings dare not easily provoke it.

As she walked, Su Lingbai suddenly stopped and looked up at what was in front of her.

A huge cave suddenly appeared before them, with an incredibly wide entrance, estimated to be more than ten meters in diameter. Just from the size of the entrance, one could tell that the monsters living inside were enormous.

Deep within the cave, a terrifying, violent aura swept over, accompanied by the sounds of frantic gnawing and chewing, spreading outwards continuously.

Su Lingbai did not conceal his aura at all, and his powerful and chilling pressure surged directly into the cave.

The monster inside the cave instantly sensed the intruder and charged out with incredible speed.

It was an enormous polar bear, its fur standing on end like needles of cold iron, its body covered in hard, cold armor.

Its pupils were completely corrupted by the Law of Gluttony, turning into a strange and eerie blood red, filled with violence and ferocity.

At this moment, the polar bear was still clutching a bundle of dry wild grass in its paws, clearly the food it most hated and rejected.

"Who are you?"

The Frost Giant Bear's voice was cold and deep, carrying the innate majesty of a demon beast.

It gazed at the slender girl in the wind and snow. Against the backdrop of the majestic snow-capped mountains and its own massive body, the girl appeared small and fragile.

But the Frost Bear dared not underestimate its enemy in the slightest.

The beast's intuition far surpasses that of ordinary creatures; it clearly sensed that the human girl before it was at the same level as itself.

What terrified it even more was the intense sense of impending death that rose from the depths of its soul.

This is enough to show that the opponent's true strength far surpasses that of himself.

The battle-hardened Frost Bear instantly sensed the hostile intent of its opponent. The shadow of death enveloped its body, and the beast blood within its body boiled wildly involuntarily.

Faced with the polar bear's cold questioning, Su Lingbai did not respond immediately.

The space in front of her distorted slightly, and a dark spatial rift appeared out of thin air. Su Lingbai slowly stretched out her right hand and probed into the rift.

next moment.

The girl held a large, menacing, jet-black scythe firmly in her hand. A thick, deathly black mist swirled around the blade, and a chilling aura spread across the sky.

The moment she gripped the sickle, the calm in Su Lingbai's eyes vanished completely, replaced by a deep-seated morbidity and madness. Her heart pounded violently, and her steady breathing became rapid and heavy.

Amidst the howling wind and snow, a female voice, devoid of any emotion and filled with bloodlust and madness, slowly rose into the air.

"What do you want to ask...? Wait until I kill you before you answer."
