Douluo Continent: Gretchen at the start, empowered by the Star God.

Chapter 114 Lan Ying's Resurrection (A Yin)

This time it was a longer distance, so Lang Lei sped up a bit. It was still only a dozen kilometers, but he arrived in just over ten minutes.

The timing was very precise.

Soon, the three arrived at the nameless forest, and Lang Lei reluctantly put Alicia and little Gretchen down.

"Is this what Xiao Du is looking for?" Alicia looked around curiously. "It looks like just an ordinary forest~"

"That's certainly true for us," Lang Lei joked, "but it might not be the case for others."

Lang Lei took out the Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin, and instantly, the once peaceful forest in front of him became restless.

Lang Lei now realized that this forest could probably be renamed the Blue Silver Forest.

After all, most of the high-level Blue Silver Grass from across the continent has probably gathered here.

Lang Lei also had a guess: Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin probably became a 100,000-year-old soul beast here, right?

After all, it is impossible to generalize between groups with an "emperor" and groups without an "emperor".

Lang Lei used his soul power to support the Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin, and led Alicia and Little Gresh into the Blue Silver Forest.

Along the way, the surrounding Blue Silver Grass seemed to have come to life, protecting the group, but because the Blue Silver Emperor was in Lang Lei's hands, it did not make any move.

This puzzled Lang Lei greatly. This tribe was too devout in their faith in the emperor. Even though the Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin, had long lost his power, they still treated him with the utmost respect.

All I can say is that faith and blood ties are truly perplexing, yet incredibly magical things.

"Your Majesty, what is your purpose in bringing our Emperor here by abduction?" Not long after they had walked, an old man appeared before the three of them.

"Hello, Blue Silver King." Lang Lei greeted him with a smile. This would be his future subordinate, so he should be a little nicer to him.

How do you know who I am?

Lang Lei felt a few black lines appear on his head. You already said that the Blue Silver Emperor is your emperor, isn't that obvious?

"That's not important. However, my arrival might be a good thing for you and your people," Lang Lei said.

"Your Majesty may speak frankly. We have been paying attention to the recent light screen. We have long admired your figure and know that struggling before you is futile." The Blue Silver King's tone was devoid of joy or sorrow, as if he were simply stating a fact.

"If only all humans were as self-aware as you are," Lang Lei remarked.

"Perhaps we're better at accepting reality." Blue Silver King was naturally happy to chat a little longer. "Humans probably know these things too, but their inner desires make them take chances. But when they try to verify their chances, they'll probably only end up getting hurt, right? After all, that's a low-probability event."

"Alright, I'm only here for one thing—to revive the Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin." Lang Lei didn't waste any more words and got straight to the point.

"What?!" King Blue Silver was shocked. "Can you bring our Emperor back?"

Even they, if they could obtain the Blue Silver Emperor's true form, could only shorten the Blue Silver Emperor's growth cycle, not directly revive it. But the person in front of them actually said he could do it.

"That's right, and I can take her even further, giving her strength comparable to a 990,000-year-old ferocious beast." Lang Lei released another message, "And after that, she can even go further, stepping into the realm of gods as a soul beast."

"You, you, I am extremely grateful, but what do you need us to do?" Blue Silver King clearly understood that there is no free lunch in the world, and all favors have been marked with a price by fate. Therefore, he was not immediately swayed by Lang Lei's words.

"It's very simple. After I revive the Blue Silver Emperor, follow her and submit to me," Lang Lei stated his purpose directly.

He could have easily skipped this step, since Ah Yin was 100% loyal to him, and the Blue Silver Grass clan, who were 100% loyal to the Blue Silver Emperor, would most likely swear allegiance to him as well.

However, for the sake of convenience later on, let me mention it briefly.

"This... I cannot make a decision at this moment. Only the Emperor can..." King Blue Silver hesitated, though he was inclined to agree.

After all, he had no choice.

"Then there's no problem." Lang Lei nodded. "I need you to do one more thing, about restoring your emperor."

"Please speak freely, we will do our utmost," said the Blue Silver King, bowing.

"Alright, the more solid the foundation we lay during Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin's revival, the further she can go in the future. But she has died once, and apart from this soul bone, everything else has vanished with the wind. Therefore, I need you to provide Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin with as much Blue Silver Grass life energy as possible during my revival. What do you say?"

"It is our honor to contribute to the Emperor's return, and we will certainly live up to your expectations," said the Blue Silver King solemnly.

"Alright, I'll begin then." Lang Lei took out the Honkai fragments and the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone.

Blue Silver King had set up his formation and nodded to Lang Lei.

"System, use Honkai Shards, target: Blue Silver Emperor."

"Use successful. Given the special state of the selected object, please select the recovery state."

Lang Lei hadn't expected this step. After thinking for a while, he remembered Na'er, who was going to study in the Star Luo Empire. He then tapped the operation page a few times with his finger before finally placing his finger on the confirmation button.

"A unique host setting has been detected. Would you like to retain the memories?"

"No reservations."

Lang Lei made a decisive choice.

"Ding, settings successful."

The instant the system notification sounded, the right leg bone of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor flew directly into the Blue Silver Emperor's body along with the Honkai fragments.

Seeing this, the Blue Silver King rallied his Blue Silver Grass followers: "Everyone, follow me to welcome back our Emperor!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a rich life energy surged from all directions, slowly converging towards the Blue Silver Emperor.

After a period of time...

"Ding, this situation is special. Please name the newly born individual."

Lang Lei thought for a moment and replied, "Lan Ying, I guess."

"Ding, confirmed, new individual name: Lan Ying."

"Alright, you can stop now," Lang Lei waved his hand.

Upon seeing this, the Blue Silver King withdrew the supplies.

Gradually, the blue silver grass in the forest stretched out and began to spread towards the blue-gold light cluster in the center.

In the end, the ball of light was enveloped by the blue silver grass, and only a faint glimmer could be seen through the tiny gaps that were exposed.

"Ding, successful use. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a new familiar: Honkai Blue Silver Emperor Lan Ying."

The vines gradually spread out, and a girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a blue dress and a grass wreath made of blue silver grass on her head, walked out stepping on the vines.

"It feels like I slept for a long time..."
