The person was chanting a curse, but their hands were wielding the black magic.

Even Gojo Satoru couldn't explain what was happening to him.

Just a moment ago, he was still holding Xia Youjie's mangled body and howling in pain, tears dripping onto his pale face, despair engulfing him like a tidal wave.

He could still feel the life in his arms slipping away little by little, like water held in the palm of his hand; the harder he tried, the faster it flowed away.

Then, in the next moment, he seemed to have received a divine revelation.

Time seemed to slow down, or even stop.

The world froze at that moment, all movement ceased, and only his consciousness flowed freely.

Heaven and earth held their breath, all things fell silent, for this moment, they poured in new thoughts that seemed like divine revelation.

The knowledge flowed into his mind like a gentle stream, and shone in his consciousness like stars.

In Gojo Satoru's words, he prefers to call the present moment—

A sudden realization.

"Thanks to you!"

"I think I've grasped the core of magical power!"

"...Wait, who did I owe this to?"

A light unlike anything seen before shone in Gojo Satoru's eyes.

I had a vague sense of déjà vu, but I couldn't explain why I felt like I had awakened.

It was as if someone had given him a push from the shadows, as if an invisible thread connected him to a distant moment.

The feeling was so intense, yet so vague.

"It doesn't matter, just forget about it."

Gojo Satoru shook his head, trying to shake off the inexplicable feeling of déjà vu.

"The most urgent task is to save Xia Youjie!"

Wu Tiao Wu suppressed the throbbing of this awakening in his heart and faced Xia Youjie's mangled body. With all six eyes open, he took in Xia Youjie's physical condition.

"What should I do if my life force starts to be depleted because of the restraints?"

Gojo Satoru arranged and combined the knowledge he had just grasped in his mind.

"It's simple, I'll fix it."

If we input positive energy that can fill the body into Xia Youjie's body, wouldn't that stop the loss of his life force?

Since reversing external energy can heal physical wounds, it should also be able to replenish depleted life force.

The prerequisite is that Gojo Satoru is able to release the energy of the Reversal Technique externally, rather than limiting it to healing himself.

He had never tried to do this before, but at this moment, he felt he could.

This is the core of the incantation power that Gojo Satoru comprehended.

"I'll show you right now!"

Gojo Satoru placed his hands on Natsuyuu's body and began to recall the only Reversal Release Technique he knew.

How is glass usually made?

Gojo Satoru began to recall Shoko's usual words and actions.

"First do this... then do that..."

As always, Ieiri Shoko's teaching level is difficult to maintain.

"But none of that is a problem!"

These seemingly esoteric teachings, presented to the now-awakened Gojo Satoru, resonated within his divergent thinking.

This constituted the instructions that guided him to take action!

"First, build up positive energy."

Gojo Satoru's palms began to heat up, and the power of the incantation flowed within his body, transforming into a warm, golden energy through the reversal technique.

"And then, export them!"

Golden light emanated from Gojo Satoru's palm.

It is exactly the same as the light emitted by the round deer!

That was the light emanating from the reversal technique, a manifestation of positive energy!

Like molten gold, it slowly flowed into Xia Youjie's body, seeped into his skin, merged into his blood, and permeated every cell of his body.

Under the light, Xia Youjie's shattered body was slowly repaired!

Even the eyes that had been tightly closed began to move.

"Enlightenment?"

Xia Youjie opened his eyes with difficulty, his eyes filled with a bewildered confusion, as if he had just woken up from a long dream.

His gaze lingered on Gojo Satoru's face for a moment, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, as if he wanted to say something, wanted to call his name.

But soon, it lost focus again.

"Damn it, does the reverse projection only heal physical injuries, but not the soul?"

Xia Youjie's body has fully recovered.

But his condition continued to deteriorate, and he began to show signs of completely dissipating.

"No, Jay!"

"I won't accept it!"

As Gojo Satoru once again experiences emotional turmoil due to his near-death experience.

The other side of the island.

In the second battle, after being cornered by Shinji once again, Gojo felt the stirrings of awakening once more.

Those pale blue eyes suddenly opened in the pool of blood.

At the same time, Wu Tiao, who was guarding Xia Youjie, also felt this tremor!

That feeling surged up in my heart again.

That inexplicable sense of déjà vu, that feeling as if someone had given him a push from the shadows, that sudden realization.

Like an electric current, it shot through his spine to his brain, causing Gojo Satoru's six eyes to suddenly contract.

"Thanks... I don't know who gave it to, but I think I've touched the core of magical power again!"

The same sense of déjà vu washed over Gojo Satoru once again.

"If a soul is shattered, then I will infuse it with a new one!"

"Jay!"

"I will re-inject these seventeen years of memories into your body!"

Gojo Satoru slowly formed a palm seal, recalling the details of his battle with Baku.

How did the cursed spirit input information into Xia Youjie's mind? How did those false memories invade his consciousness? How did those fabricated images take root in his mind?

Since the dream-bomb can input false memories, it can also input real memories to fill the gaps that are disappearing.

"First install the outer casing, then install the information, and finally input it!"

But what just happened, whether it was Baku's Tsukuyomi or the inheritance of Hao's will, was only a few moments of information.

Compared to the amount of information Xia Youjie remembers over seventeen years.

They are worlds apart.

"In that case, the barrier carrying the information must be made even stronger!"

"Isn't it just a barrier spell?"

"I'll show you right now!"

Gojo Satoru's knuckles overlapped to form that familiar palm print, attempting to carry the information of the past seventeen years between heaven and earth.

The information, quantified into brilliance, flowed into Xia Youjie's mind.

Every ordinary yet precious day turned into golden specks of light, flooding into Xia Youjie's mind like fireflies.

Fill the voids that are disappearing, and mend the memories that are breaking.

This allowed the crippled body to finally breathe normally, just like a normal person.

The breath of life is returning, just as spring returns to the earth.

Xia Youjie is no longer a dissipating soul, but a complete person being pieced back together; a torn book is being glued back together page by page.

Now, let's return to the present.

Gojo Satoru was finally able to stand in front of Fushiguro-sensei, his figure blocking Fushiguro and Itadori.

"Teacher, leave the rest to me!"

Gojo Satoru formed his palm seals once more, recalling everything he had just learned, before the King of Curses:

"Domain Expansion—"

"Boundless emptiness!!!"
