Chapter 4433: Ye Yangyan
Lin Moyu had never found the process of making a revenant so complex and delicate.
In the past, he would simply throw out the Undying Flame, activate his spell, and wait for the automatic resurrection.
He had experienced failures, but they were never a big deal just try again if the spell failed.
But this time, it felt less like brute magic and more like intricate needlework.
The soul of the quasi Supreme was slowly reforming. So much time had passed fortunately, they were in Chaos Child's inner world, so the soul's imprint still lingered after dispersal, and there were no soul eating shadow pests.
Patience would eventually pay off, and the soul would reform.
The real difficulty lay in the original will of the quasi Supreme's soul.
To create a revenant, Lin Moyu had to suppress this original will and let the spell reshape it.
The will was alarmingly strong Lin Moyu's level was barely enough to subdue it.
So Chaos Child had to lend the power of his inner world for extra suppression.
But Chaos Child himself was not fully restored to his peak, so suppressing the will was still tough.
Another issue was the quasi Supreme's body: so powerful, it could birth new will very quickly requiring purified water to keep it suppressed.
Lin Moyu had a limited supply of purified water, so suppression was difficult.
Focusing on everything at once, Lin Moyu kept the ritual steady, managing the spell's rhythm.
With Lin Moyu and Chaos Child working seamlessly, the process was difficult but smooth.
The Undying Flame burned for over ten days. At last, the quasi Supreme's soul was fully gathered.
"Remove the suppression, but stay alert," Lin Moyu instructed Chaos Child.
The suppression came off, but everyone remained on guard; if anything went wrong, more purified water would be ready.
With the restraint gone, the soul flame blazed so bright in Lin Moyu's eyes.
A quasi Supreme rivaled an actual Supreme. Not quite as perfect, but far beyond an ordinary Full Completion expert.
The soul flame instantly swept through the body; its first act after regathering was to take control of the flesh.
If any new will had emerged in the body, the soul flame would erase it.
Lin Moyu's purified water completed its last mission, being burned off and returned to his hand half his supply was gone.
Reclaiming his body, the quasi Supreme slowly opened his eyes, blade bright gaze sweeping the chamber.
At that moment, Lin Moyu, Chaos Child, even Little Tree clenched in readiness.
He looked like a true revenant now but none could guarantee he wouldn't suddenly go berserk.
His gaze landed on Chaos Child first apparently recognizing him. Then he turned to Lin Moyu, bowed slowly and said, "Ye Yang greets the Master."
He called Lin Moyu "Master," but unlike lesser revenants, did not kneel.
Quasi Supremes had pride never kneeling to gods or men, only trusting themselves.
Back in Chaos Child's heyday, they would obey him but keep their own will.
Now, calling Lin Moyu "Master" proved that the spell was a success.
Lin Moyu relaxed. "Your name is Ye Yangyan?"
Ye Yangyan nodded gently. "Ancestor of the Ye clan in the World of Chaos Skies."
The World of Chaos Skies was the name of Chaos Child's inner world, chosen by Chaos Child himself.
At his peak, Chaos Child's world contained multitudes of beings; not as vast as true chaos desolation, but much larger than normal domains.
As the legend went, its rules and Dao patterns mimicked those of chaos itself, and even some beings originated in chaos desolation.
Even in those days, the human race had rapidly risen to prominence few in number, but with many powerhouses.
Ye Yangyan was one of these, founding the Ye Clan as its patriarch.
But when Chaos Child broke apart, the world fragmented, and the Ye Clan perished with it.
Ye Yangyan was powerful enough that his body survived to this day.
Suddenly he spoke, "Master, I have a request."
Quasi Supremes were different from other revenants; they still had desires. Lin Moyu was not surprised.
"Speak," Lin Moyu said, curious it was the first time any revenant had made a request of him.
Ye Yangyan said, "I wish to rebuild the Ye Clan."
As the patriarch, his attachment to his clan would never fade, even in death.
Lin Moyu replied, "You know your own situation, don't you?"
Ye Yangyan said, "I understand. But to rebuild the Ye Clan and revive its bloodline, I need not do it the old way.
"Though I died, by your hand I have half returned to life.
"My blood and body still brim with life force. With them a thousand lineages can be born."
It sounded reasonable but would be difficult in truth.
Besides, Chaos Child's world hadn't fully recovered hardly the environment to nurture new life.
While Lin Moyu was thinking, Chaos Child sent a message:
"Master, I believe it's possible. But don't let the Ye lineage grow in my world put them in your domain.
There they can thrive."
"And as a revenant, any offspring of his will be your servants."
"Besides, if his blood enters chaos itself, he might someday move freely in chaos, or even act, which could help you enormously."
Chaos Child knew his own world was still incomplete; nothing compared to primeval chaos desolation.
But if Ye's blood could enter chaos, he could use it as a bridge to act there an enormous advantage for Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu thought it over it was feasible, and fit his goals to reclaim his own domain.
He said to Ye Yangyan, "I can grant your request, but not yet. When I reclaim my domain, I'll place your bloodline there to thrive."
Ye Yangyan's eyes shone, "Thank you, Master."
Reviving a quasi Supreme added one more trump card to Lin Moyu's hand.
Although Ye Yangyan could not act freely in the real chaos desolation, he could lend momentum and, if things were desperate, even risk exposure to Dao.
And with the Cause Seeking Ring, he might even sever karma and escape annihilation.
Ye Yangyan was a powerful asset, a card to be used well.
Lin Moyu took a deep breath. "Time to enter the core, Little Tree your turn."
Little Tree gave a nod, a branch coiling around Lin Moyu's waist space time power whirled up, erecting an instant shield.
With a step, Lin Moyu broke the membrane and entered the central region.
