Perfect World: I Am Eternal

Chapter 262 The Mysterious Puppy
"Senior, do you really have a way to bring my junior brother's soul back?"

Yuechan stared in confusion at the palm-sized dog in front of her, its fur a dark red color that gave the impression of having lived through countless ages.

"Immortal King Wuzhong is my elder brother, and Immortal King Lunhui is my younger brother. Don't worry, I'll take care of this little matter."

The puppy said this, patting its belly with a serious expression.

However, its eyes revealed a greedy glint as it kept its eyes fixed on the purple-gold divine tea tree in Yuechan's hand and the two reincarnation discs.

"If you can awaken my junior brother, senior, I will naturally give you these things," Yuechan said, her voice as melodious as heavenly music.

"The soul returns..."

The puppy immediately chanted a spell, its canine teeth gleaming, and one mysterious symbol after another bloomed and disappeared into the void.

It was like a requiem, soaring to the heavens and descending to the netherworld, giving one's soul a jolt, as if it could be heard from an infinite distance.

Yuechan was surprised. A bright blue moon shone, and she actually understood some of it. This was ancient scripture from the time of the immortals, possessing incredible penetrating power.

In an instant, she began to trust the words of the puppy that had been accidentally dug up, believing it to be an immortal figure from ancient times.

At this moment, one mysterious symbol after another flew out of the puppy's mouth, dazzlingly bright, like words cast in metal, imprinted into the void.

Inside the dark cage, Lin Fan's primordial spirit was stunned, looking at the person in front of him who looked exactly like him, and was very shocked.

"Who are you, and why do you have my appearance?" Lin Fan asked solemnly, very wary of this person who had suddenly appeared.

"I am you!" The man stood there, calm yet giving off an air of arrogance.

Lin Fan was surprised, but still somewhat disbelieving, believing that this was the work of darkness, creating a fake version of himself to disturb his mind.

However, the person who came simply stood there, without saying a word, and did not launch an attack as expected.

Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief. It wouldn't be a good thing to fight here, because once your primordial spirit power is depleted, it cannot be replenished.

Furthermore, he wasn't even sure he could beat the opponent; the sheer aura was overwhelming, as if he were facing an emperor.

"But how can I escape and leave this awful place?"

Lin Fan pondered, the darkness was boundless, where was the way home?
He wanted to go out, unwilling to miss out on a great era; there were still many things and people in the outside world he wanted to see.

However, the cage was cold and dark, and there was nothing to touch. It could only drift along with the river of time, with no way to leave.

It was only a moment, but it felt like an eternity to him—ten years, a hundred years… His heart sank, and his eyes gradually dimmed.

"Senior, why hasn't my junior brother's primordial spirit returned yet?" Yuechan asked, staring at the green seed, which, though full of vitality, showed no signs of soul fluctuation.

The puppy was drenched in sweat and panting heavily. He said guiltily, "Ahem, I have just woken up from my deep sleep and am still a little unaccustomed to it. Let me recover for a while."

"Of course, if I had something like a sacred elixir, my recovery speed would be even faster..."

At this point, the puppy set its sights on the items in Yuechan's Qiankun Bag.

Although Yuechan was suspicious and thought the dog was unreliable and just trying to freeload, she still gave it a drop of the Fountain of Youth.

Instantly, the golden liquid exuded a fragrant aroma, resembling a small dragon swimming in the void, containing the energy of longevity.

"The essence of the immortal spring!" The puppy's big eyes gleamed, and it leaped high into the air, immediately opening its mouth and swallowing it.

Then, it licked its lips, seemingly wanting more, and said urgently, "Quick, a few more drops."

"No, these things are very precious, and it's impossible to carry them all with me. But once you rescue my junior brother, I'll go home and get them for you right away."

Yuechan was very clever and saw through the dog's insatiable greed, so she naturally wouldn't take it all out at once.

The puppy had dark red fur and big, darting eyes. Then it began chanting scriptures again, performing a mysterious ancient technique to summon the soul.

"Huh, what's that sound? It sounds like someone is calling my soul?"

Lin Fan was astonished, as if he had seen a ray of dawn in the darkness, and desperately wanted to find the source of the sound to get out. However, he was shrouded in darkness, which turned him into a cage, trapping him here, unable to break free.

"I want to go back!" Lin Fan shouted. He had finally been given a second chance at life, and so much had happened. How could he be willing to be trapped here?

Moreover, a voice inside him was reminding him that there were important things to do, things to make up for, and that he couldn't fall here.

"boom!"

Lin Fan fought desperately, recklessly using his primordial spirit power, giving it his all, and unleashing his strongest attack in an attempt to break through this place.

With a hum, the dark cage trembled, as if it had twisted, but it still couldn't be broken open; the power was insufficient.

"Come again!"

Lin Fan roared, exerting all his strength to unleash a series of secret techniques. He combined six precious techniques into one and unleashed them all at once.

"puff!"

Lin Fan stumbled backward, falling into the darkness. His primordial spirit trembled violently, weakening rapidly and almost dissipating.

However, the cage only trembled but did not break; instead, it suffered a backlash and was severely damaged.

"Ah...am I going to be trapped in this place for the rest of my life?"

"I'm really not reconciled!"

Lin Fan cried out, revealing a sense of sorrow, resentment, and helplessness.

Now that he's gone, will anyone still remember him?

Pretty sister, Yuechan, Qingyi... what would happen if he didn't go back after seeing those familiar people?

"Just like that, you give up?" A voice rang out, coming from another version of himself. The two looked at each other.

"Huh?" Lin Fan asked in surprise, as if to say, "Why are you still here?"

Outside, Yuechan waited anxiously. When the chanting stopped again, she panicked and bit her red lips.

"No, this kid might be trapped in a dark prison, and I have no way to bring back his spirit." The puppy shook its head, panting heavily.

"A dark cage?" Yuechan asked, puzzled.

"This involves something strange, something even a Celestial King can hardly explain. Some say it's a curse, specifically targeting beings with extraordinary talent and ability. Once you're deeply entangled in it, even a Celestial King might get trapped."

"What?!" Yuechan was shocked, then her face turned pale, and her voice trembled as she said, "My junior brother... he's not coming back?"

"Senior, didn't you say that you are the brother of the Great Emperor Wuzhong, a reincarnated Immortal King, and that nothing can stump you?"

Yuechan stared at it.

The puppy's face flushed slightly, showing a rare look of embarrassment, as a little girl suspected it of bragging, which it found unbearable.

Originally, when it saw the Azure Moon Flame on Yuechan's body, it thought of the Azure Moon Fairy and planned to coax her into becoming its disciple. But now that it had failed, it was truly embarrassing.

“Um… I’ll try again, but I’ve just woken up and my magic power isn’t enough. I’ll pass on this scripture to you, and we can use it together; the effect should be better.”

The puppy immediately relayed her ancient saying.

Surprisingly, it was originally thought that it would take Yuechan a long time to master it.

As a result, she quickly became familiar with it and was able to begin using the scripture, which greatly surprised the tiny dog.

"Are there people in this world who can reincarnate?" the puppy muttered, feeling a chill as he recalled what the female immortal had said in her previous life.
