Xia Zhi raised his hand and cast a fifth-tier spell on the figure in front of him—[Resurrection].
A white light descended upon him, enveloping him.
After a while, the light dissipated.
A giant fox appeared before them.
Is this... revealing its true form?
Yurakuzai should have had the same Platinum-level strength as Rishui Shinjun, right?
Why do I still drop a rank after being resurrected?
Xia Zhi stared thoughtfully at the golden progress bar that had suddenly appeared on the fox's body.
Could it be related to skills?
He just used the most basic [Resurrection Spell], without adding any divine power.
If he just used the [God? Resurrection Spell], would Yue Zhai have been able to be resurrected directly to the Platinum level?
Although Xia Zhi had such a guess in his mind, since You Lezhai had already been resurrected, he couldn't possibly put him back into a ghost state and resurrect him again.
At this moment, the big fox slowly opened its somewhat bewildered eyes.
It first looked down at its own fox body, then bowed to Xia Zhi: "Thank you for saving my life, Lord Xia."
"You're welcome," Xia Zhi waved his hand.
Although Yuezhai's strength dropped after his resurrection, there were also advantages.
Compared to not losing rank, Xia Zhi can get an extra gold treasure chest from him.
As for the issue of the monster's original form, giving him a Transformation Pill will solve the problem.
The price of the Transformation Pill is 500 points, which is equivalent to buying a Golden Treasure Chest with 500 points.
With Xia Zhi's exceptionally high luck stat, opening treasure chests will definitely be enough to recoup her investment.
It seems that many powerful yokai like Yurakusai perished in Inazuma five hundred years ago. If they could all be resurrected, it would be possible to collect a lot of treasure chests...
Xia Zhi thought for a moment, then turned and asked, "Cousin, I heard that Inazuma once had a spectacular 'Hyakki Yagyō' (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons)?"
He didn't care about the treasure chests; his main goal was to help his cousin and restore Inazuma's former glory.
Chapter 584 I'll definitely take them all (4K)
Xia Zhen nodded and said, "The 'Night Parade of One Hundred Demons' sounds scary, but simply put, it's a gathering of demons and ghosts. Back then, when the demons and ghosts gathered together and got drunk, they used their demonic power to soar into the air. Their flying figures could even cover the moon. This strange phenomenon was also known as the 'Night Without a Moon'."
Xia Zhi pondered, "That's interesting... but Inazuma can't see this kind of scene anymore, can he?"
Xia Zhen looked somewhat helpless and sighed softly, "Yes..."
If powerful demons like Kosai-gyu and Yuraku-sai perished, how could other demons of lesser strength have survived that dark calamity?
Unless they, like the Five Hundred Treasures, find a place to hide beforehand.
But judging from Inazuma's current state of decline, it's clear that no yokai were willing to do that back then.
Almost all of them perished in the invasion of the abyss while protecting Inazuma.
That disaster caused Inazuma to lose too much.
A deep sense of self-reproach flashed in Yu Lezhai's eyes. She lowered her fox head and said, "Lord Baal, I am truly guilty of grave sins..."
Xia Zhen looked at it and said softly, "Since that's the case, then from now on you should atone for your past sins."
Yulezhai remained silent for a moment, then replied earnestly, "Yes, Lord Baal."
Xia Zhen turned her head and said, "Alright, you can all go down now."
Ying was taken aback: "Sister..."
Xia Zhen said, "Ying, you can go down too. I have something to say to my cousin."
Ying glanced at Xia Zhi, then nodded obediently: "Okay, sister."
After everyone else left, only Xia Zhen and Xia Zhi remained in front of the Divine Cherry Tree.
Xia Zhen looked up at Xia Zhi and said, "Cousin..."
Xia Zhi smiled and said, "Does my cousin want to recreate the 'Night Parade of One Hundred Demons'?"
"Yes, you noticed it."
“Although you’ve never said it to me outright, it’s been written all over your face ever since we left Mondstadt.”
"Huh? Am I that obvious?"
"Just kidding, of course not, actually my cousin told me secretly."
“…Xia Ci, that girl…” Xia Zhen couldn’t help but facepalm. “Did she say anything else?”
“No.” Xia Zhi thought for a moment. “She just meant that you would definitely find a chance to ask me for help.”
As she opened her mouth... Xia Zhen couldn't help but recall her conversation with her best friend, and blushed slightly.
Xia Zhi, seeing her suddenly become so shy from God's perspective, felt a little confused.
Xia Zhen asked, "Cousin, is this a complicated matter?"
Xia Zhi nodded: "It is indeed a bit troublesome. Although the difficulty of resurrecting them is not as high as yours, there are too many of them."
Xia Zhen thought for a moment and said, "How about we just revive a portion of them..."
"How can that be done!"
Xia Zhi's expression immediately became somewhat serious.
Those are all treasure chests!
"They are all heroic spirits who died fighting for Inazuma. How can we abandon even a part of them? If we are to resurrect them, we must take them all!"
"But……"
"I'll just put in more effort."
"Cousin!"
Xia Zhen looked at him, her face full of emotion.
Then, she stood on tiptoe and expressed her heartfelt gratitude to him.
Although it wasn't the "opening up" that Xia Ci mentioned.
But at least she's spoken up.
--
After stepping out of that barrier of time, the purifying effect of the Divine Cherry Tree immediately applied to Yurakuzai, completely removing the trace of abyssal aura that clung to his body.
A faint black aura was drawn out of the large fox's body and dissipated.
Yurakusai suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of relief. It raised its head and looked at the familiar shrine scene before it, its eyes revealing a complex emotion.
Five hundred years have passed, and this place has changed beyond recognition...
Yulezhai turned his head and glanced at Hana Sanri.
Although Hana Sanri's face looked exactly like the Fox Palace in his memory, she had black hair instead of white hair.
He then looked at Ying and said respectfully, "Lord Balzeb, I have not yet paid my respects to you..."
Ying shook her head and said calmly, "There's no need to be so formal when meeting an old friend."
Youlezhai was slightly taken aback.
Although he had only met Raiden Shin twice, with his experience and knowledge, he noticed that Raiden Shin seemed to have changed somewhat compared to the one he remembered.
However, it seems that Lei, the movie star, is still the same as before, not fond of smiling.
Yulezhai acknowledged, then looked at Yae no Miko and said softly, "Miko... I have a question for you: how have you been all these years?"
Yae no Miko narrowed her long, narrow eyes and smiled charmingly: "Of course, I'm doing very well, and I'm happy every day. Especially recently, since Natsume and the others came to Inazuma, the shrine has been incredibly lively, with all sorts of delicious food every day."
You Lezhai murmured, "Oh, that's good, that's good!"
Yae no Miko said, "Yurakusai, you'll definitely like this era too. Someone like you who can tell stories and draw will definitely become Yaedo's ace, and then I'll personally urge him to write more."
You Lezhai shook his head and chuckled: "Light novels... that 'True Ghost Detective Notes' was just something I wrote casually. In the future, I will be busy serving Lord Baal and will not have the time to write such things again."
Yae no Miko remained noncommittal, and asked, "Speaking of which, you wrote that spirit-summoning incantation in the book and spread it around. You must have had some special intention, right?"
You Lezhai nodded and explained, "The earth's veins have leaked, and everyone has returned to the mortal world. Naturally, everyone wants to stay a little longer. When I was alive, I was a powerful and influential fox demon. My memories have the ability to penetrate human bodies, which other lesser demons cannot do. But with the incantation, the situation is different."
Yae no Miko clicked her tongue: "Just as I guessed, with the spirit-summoning incantation, it's like humans are actively inviting ghosts to possess them, without any obstacles at all."
Hana Sanri frowned and said, "But the power of ghosts is too cold and sinister. Once the ghosts leave, those who perform séances will inevitably fall ill one or two times."
Yae no Miko said, "Those who can use spirit summoning spells all hope to realize their wishes through spells, seek help from external forces, and have no ambition. Such people deserve to be taught a lesson."
Hana Sanri shook her head and said nothing more.
After all, the divine child was right.
If you expect too much from the miracles the unknown can provide, you need to think carefully about whether you can actually afford the price offered by the other party.
