This isn't a souls-like game at all.

"How is it?" Alice turned her head to look at Ye Yiyi with a frown on her face.

"It seems... Hey! It's working!" His eyes lit up.

The ball of light quickly shrank and became smaller in the astonished eyes of everyone.

A light blue light overflowed from the center of the light ball, dyeing the sphere a deep blue.

The blue ball of light floated over and finally landed in Ye Yiyi's palm, turning into a small light blue gem.

The light curtain then popped out.

[False life prototype embryo]

Chapter 214 Immortal Life

[False life prototype embryo]

Item Description: A living prototype embryo brimming with vitality.

One of the great miracles born from influence.

It can inject concepts, cultivate prototypes, and turn the false into the true.

Then, through the gestation of a specific mother, immortal life is born.

It is said that the prototype of life is the origin of many immortal lives.

Then, with immortal life as the starting point, many intelligent and intellectual species are born.

After reading the item description, Ye Yiyi was suddenly stunned.

"To cultivate, nurture, and give birth to immortal life?

"So, this gem that the giant life force obtained by giving life is actually a pet egg?"

"How is it? Did it become alive?"

Alice looked at the light blue gem in Ye Yiyi's hand with interest.

"It looks like a silicon-based animal. How does it express its self-awareness? Is it through magnetic fields or a mind-boosting consciousness generated by a physical entity? Does it need to eat?"

As a former zoologist, Alice is full of curiosity about this new "life".

Not only her, Bai Yu and Big Beard were also curious.

Turning a ball of vitality into "life" was an unheard-of and wonderful thing even ten thousand years ago.

"But...it's still not life."

Ye Yiyi scratched his head, and his words seemed to pour a bucket of cold water on everyone.

"Not life?"

Alice's smile froze. "Failed?"

"It's not a failure..."

Ye Yiyi frowned and considered his words carefully.

"Right now, it's just an unfertilized egg. We need to inject a concept into it, which means it will become a tadpole, and then it will be nurtured by the mother..."

Alice narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard that, and the corners of her mouth curled up.

Just explain, there's no need to be so vivid. Didn't you see that Bai Yu's face is already red?

She moved her eyes and looked at Bai Yu, who looked a little bewildered and had blushing cheeks, and thought that this female knight was quite pure.

"...and then immortal life can be cultivated."

When Ye Yiyi finished the last half of the sentence, everyone, including Bai Yu, had shock in their eyes.

"Immortal life?" The bearded man screamed.

"Are you serious?" Alice frowned. "Immortal life? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"Ah? That's right..."

Looking at everyone's reactions, Ye Yiyi couldn't help but be stunned.

Isn't it just immortal life? Is this the necessary reaction?

To make sure, he lowered his head and looked at the item description a few more times, then looked up with a confused look on his face.

"Yes, it's immortal life. I'm not wrong. Any questions?"

"This is a huge problem." The bearded man shook his head repeatedly and sighed, "It's great to be alive. No matter how outrageous the things are, you can still encounter them..."

"Michaela, don't you... know what immortal life is?" Bai Yu asked in surprise.

"Maybe it's an immortal creature like a goblin or an ancient dragon? Or maybe it's something like an eagle with spread wings?" Ye Yiyi tilted his head and fell into deep thought, then his eyes lit up.

"If you say so, then it's really amazing! How can you be so enthusiastic?" He became excited.

"An immortal life form that can eventually grow into an ancient dragon... then wouldn't I be able to become a dragon rider?"

Hearing this, the bearded man couldn't help but lean over to Alice and whisper,

"Lady Alice, Michaela's memory and common sense... seem to have been severely damaged."

"It's serious." Alice narrowed her eyes and nodded calmly, "But this is the price I have to pay for resurrection."

"But... the little goblins and ancient dragons are just incarnations of nature, not immortal life forms." Bai Yu couldn't help but say.

"No?" Ye Yiyi's expression froze. "They have endless lifespans, but they are not considered immortal beings?"

Alice whispered, "Let me tell you about an immortal life that you are very familiar with..."

"Am I familiar with you?" Ye Yiyi looked at her strangely.

That's not right. If he was familiar with it, there's no way he wouldn't remember it.

"...lingering vine veins." Alice looked into the boy's eyes and said calmly.

"???"

Ye Yiyi looked confused.

At this moment, he seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly took out the metal bookmark from behind him that he had not yet given to the saint.

【Hollow Bookmark No. 2】

Item Description: A hollow bookmark themed after giant land creatures...

The winding vines are the living veins of the earth, the place where the souls of all things return, and the cradle of life.

[Border] The largest immortal life form.

"So this item has already told me what immortal life is."

When he realized what was happening, he felt a bit amused and helpless.

This is what happens when you don't read the item description carefully.

"In other words, I can use this unfertilized egg to cultivate another living being?" he asked curiously.

"...In theory, that's right," Alice replied, then fell into deep thought.

"But immortal life... I really can't figure out how to cultivate it."

"Then let's go back and talk about it."

The bearded man said solemnly, "Hurry and put it away. The importance of this item is almost beyond words. Once outsiders know of its existence, you, Michaela, will become the target of public criticism!"

"I know." Ye Yiyi nodded, naturally knowing the importance of this item, and immediately put it into the four-dimensional chrysanthemum.

What do the winding vine veins represent?

It is the cradle of life and the cycle of all things.

Goblins, ancient dragons, humans, and all other intelligent and sentient races, the nature developed on its basis, and even the countless lives bordering it.

To put it bluntly, without the winding vines, there would be no border today.

Seeing the gem disappear in Ye Yiyi's hands, everyone sighed deeply.

That thing is so important that every second it stays outside, everyone will be worried and afraid for it for a second longer.

"Although the result is unexpected, the problem of life has been solved anyway." Alice said with mixed emotions, pinching her nose.

"In this way, it won't matter even if the Cursed Death Tower is destroyed, right?" Ye Yiyi asked.

"It's not as simple as you think."

Alice shook her head. "We've only solved the biggest hidden danger. The Cursed Death Tower is still connected to the earth veins. Blowing it up rashly would cause a small part of the earth veins to disappear..."

"So what?" Ye Yiyi frowned.

"Once the ley lines disappear, natural disasters will follow."

The bearded man thought for a moment and explained:

"The best outcome is natural disasters like droughts and floods. The worst outcome is natural disharmony, with souls unable to return to the earth and all sorts of undead and strange creatures roaming the land."

"Is there any solution?" Ye Yiyi only felt troubled. Why did it feel like these things kept happening one after another, and would never end?

"So we need to go to the Temple of Lingering and offer sacrifices to the ley lines to appease them." Alice said, looking at Bai Yu. "You should be here soon, right?"

"It's probably another two days' journey." Bai Yu gave a clear time.

"Well, then you can go there when the time comes."

"I?"

Ye Yiyi pointed at herself with a confused expression.

"Alice, aren't you going? If we're summoned as spirits, it doesn't matter how many people go, right?"

"Spirit bodies cannot be sacrificed," the bearded man interrupted. "Lady Alice wants you to go in person."

"In person?" Ye Yiyi was even more confused. "But Baiyu is on the border to the east. How can I get there?"

"It can be transmitted through the earth veins."

Bai Yu suddenly spoke, but for some reason her cheeks turned red and she didn't dare to look directly at Ye Yiyi.

"To do this, Michaela, you must first come in spirit form, pass the incarnation test with me, and obtain the teleportation permit..."

"Incarnation?" Ye Yiyi raised his eyebrows slightly, "The incarnation of the earth vein?"

"That's right." Alice narrowed her eyes, curled the corners of her mouth into a dangerous smile, and patted Ye Yiyi's shoulder heavily.

"It's a ritual that requires a young man and woman to perform together...but the situation is urgent, so this is the only thing we have to do."

"?"

Ye Yiyi felt that there was something wrong with Alice and Bai Yu's attitudes.

The former was so jealous that he almost rolled his eyes, and Bai Yu... No, Bai Yu, why are you shy?

"But why young men and women?" He thought for a moment and asked cautiously, "Is there any special meaning here?"

After saying this, Alice's smile became even wider, but Ye Yiyi was shocked to find that she was grinding her teeth.

What the hell! Why are you doing this? It's just a ritual, isn't it? Why are you so angry that you want to kill me?

Bai Yu pursed his lips and lowered his head without saying a word, but his cheeks became even redder.

"Cough cough..."

The bearded man pretended not to hear anything, turned around silently, then fixed his eyes and tightened his grip on the weapon.

"somebody is coming."

"Bang bang bang!!"

At the same time, there was a sudden loud knocking sound at the door behind everyone.

Seeing that Alice's attention was diverted, Ye Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief.

I don't know what happened, but the atmosphere was truly torturous...

Pulling out Pisanzuo from behind, he looked intently at the corridor in front of him and saw a young man in a pure white cloak, several Fire Crown Knights, and a large number of soldiers rushing towards the gate along the circular corridor.

"This direction..." Ye Yiyi raised her eyebrows slightly.

"They came from the tunnel we came from. They seem to be the accomplices of the abbot." Alice said calmly, slowly pulling out the melting sword from behind her.
