From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"McDo!"

Seeing this, Ao Deng was overjoyed and was about to hug her, but he missed Mai Duo and missed his target.

"She is still in the state of life essence, but I created a special force field centered on myself. It is a reflection of my physical and mental world in the outside world, which allows her in the state of life essence to present her former appearance and to accurately perceive things in three-dimensional space, and even speak. But in essence, she is still in two dimensions with you in three-dimensional space and cannot touch each other."

At this point, Jiang Liu transmitted his voice again: "Cooperate with me. Just say there's no way to revive her. Otherwise, if your daughter finds out this is the only chance to revive her, she might not be willing, and all the villagers' efforts would be in vain."

“Maido, if you have anything to say, just tell your father. Because there isn’t enough biomimetic carbon-based biological material, you can’t be resurrected. This is all I can do.” Jiang Liu used an illusion to prevent Maiduo from seeing the approximate shape of the lotus and lotus root, and shook his head and sighed.

"I'm sorry, Mydo, I broke my promise."

Mark has undergone a great transformation and matured considerably. He can act, though he's not good at it. Fortunately, it's not difficult for him to feign a dejected look in his current state.

Therefore, Maido didn't notice anything wrong. Instead, she smiled and advised Mark, "Don't look so gloomy, Mark. Smile more, and good luck will come naturally!"

You've exceeded your promise, take me home!

"The fact that I can meet everyone in Dragonbone Village again in this manner is absolutely unprecedented since Dragonbone Village created the Life Iteration System!"

Maiduo ran to Aodeng and Haisang and said, "Dad, brother, don't be sad. I'm just going to the soul storage jar. I'm not really dying."

At this point, Maido turned to Bai Yuekui and recounted her findings to further Dragon Bone Village's research on Mana ecology: "Boss Bai, the Spirit Seed is indeed a multi-dimensional space, and the scenes inside should be a mixture of Mark's memories..."

Moreover, the spiritual seed spaces between Devouring Beasts can indeed be linked to each other. I once saw a Devouring Beast - a snake-dog - inside Mark's spiritual seed.

It's a type that has evolved in the last six months...

I suspect that the life essence stored within the Spirit Seed dissipated not only because the activities of the Devouring Beasts themselves consumed some of it, but also because other Devouring Beasts might have entered Mark's Spirit Seed in the form of life essence through their own Spirit Seeds, thus engaging in the same life essence plundering behavior as the living Devouring Beasts outside.

The fact that there is competition among the Devouring Beasts is known not only in Dragonbone Village but also to the hunters of the Lighthouse. But would the Devouring Beasts actually "steal" from each other?

And this behavior seems to be—

[Stealing vegetables?]

However, considering that the Devouring Beasts have a "rent-paying" behavior, and that the more life essence an individual hands over, the greater the benefits they receive...

It doesn't seem surprising that Devouring Beasts would steal from each other through a "network" between Spirit Seeds.

"Maido, thank you for your help."

When Mai Duo reported what she had discovered, Bai Yuekui was extremely grateful.

"This is the last thing I can do."

Maido, however, didn't take it to heart and genuinely hoped that the information she had gathered could further help the development of Dragonbone Village and the Awakened's mission to fight against the Mana ecosystem.

"And now—"

Maiduo put one hand on her hip and pointed the other to the sky, looking very excited.

"I want to preside over my own Origin Return Ceremony!"

"This is something that no one before me could do!"

"Dad! Brother! Cheer up! Maybe we'll see each other again in the future!"

“Mark, don’t blame yourself. I’m not really dead. As long as we overcome the ecological challenges and establish an industrial system capable of producing highly biomimetic carbon-based biomaterials, I can be resurrected!”

"And everyone in Dragonbone Village..."

Chapter 1224 Rainbow Voyage

After saying goodbye to everyone in Dragon Bone Village, Mai Duo skipped over to Jiang Liu's side and said, "Boss Jiang, can your move that makes me reveal my soul last until I finish singing a song?"

"Rainbow Voyage?"

Jiang Liu smiled slightly, "You underestimate me. You could sing for ten thousand years without any problem."

"It won't take that long."

Upon hearing about the ten thousand years, Maido laughed heartily, taking it as a joke. Then, she stood on tiptoe, cleared her throat, and extended an invitation to everyone in Dragonbone Village and the hunters, saying, "Everyone in the village, and... the newcomers, come on over!"

"3"

"2"

"1"

"Walk--"

After the countdown ended, the children from the All-Science Academy took the lead, singing "la la la," followed by the adults from Dragon Bone Village, who held candles and sang along.

The first line, naturally, was spoken by Maido: "Let's set sail on a rainbow!"

As the soothing melody faded, a rainbow actually appeared, encircling Maido's waist, turning to her feet, and lifting her slowly into the air.

【I'm a magician, you know!】

Mai Duo was surprised, but then she heard Jiang Liu's voice, and she threw herself into singing and dancing.

But then she was seen walking on a rainbow, circling around the pool—

"The howling sea breeze swept away the sorrow!"

"It swept away the sorrow!"

xN

The villagers joined in the singing, waving their candles and singing softly, their voices swaying in the flickering light.

A tiny, sesame-seed-sized wisp of golden light emerged from between everyone's eyebrows!

That is the power of will! That is faith! That is the expectation of Mydo's resurrection!

The thoughts of people, under the force field of Jiang Liu spreading through body and mind, took on form and luster. Although they were only the size of sesame seeds, they were as bright as the sun, turning into shooting stars that surrounded Mai Duo, who was walking on the neon light path, making her source essence even more dazzling.

"Don't be afraid to lose tomorrow's sun!"

Maido passed over the heads of the hunters, and the warm light made them forget their status as prisoners. They stared in disbelief at Maido, who was wearing a rainbow dress and surrounded by golden light. Their hearts were touched, and they swayed along with her involuntarily.

We want to change the face of the world!

The students from the Justice Class, including Shan Shihui and Jiang Ya, almost shouted out loud, unleashing a powerful will that transformed into a ball of light that surrounded Mai Duo.

"Stumbling and helping each other along, we forged ahead together!"

Let's forge ahead together!

xN

Mark took Ran Bing's hand, and Ran Bing took Mark's hand in return. They smiled at each other and hummed along to the lighthearted melody, swaying gently. Golden wishes and faith shone between their brows.

Seeing this, Oden nodded, no longer harboring any resentment towards Mark.

"Even with a bloody head, you get a lollipop!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu decided to spend a bit of money. With a wave of his hand, he created a number of lollipops equal to the number of people present, which slowly floated down into their hands.

Even the captured hunters received a lollipop.

Wu Chenxi tore open the packaging, put it in her mouth, and a faint sweetness bloomed in her mouth, causing her whole body to tremble involuntarily. Her body swayed with the melody, she sang, and murmured, "This is... this is real sweetness!"

Wu Dongxi also put the lollipop, which had been torn open, into his mouth. It wasn't very sweet, but it was one of the most delicious foods he had ever eaten!

Second only to braised pork and rice!

Feeling down and dejected, Suiying stood at the very edge of the line, not even daring to stand with the commoners. Looking at the lollipop in her hand, her eyes welled up with tears again. Unconsciously, she imitated Wu Chenxi and Wu Dongxi, tearing off the wrapper and putting the round candy into her mouth.

Seeing this, Wu Chenxi's lips curled into a slight smile, knowing that 4068 would no longer dwell on the past...

"What if the future is dark or desolate!"

One after another, chibi-style Devouring Beasts appeared, adorable and silly, howling and roaring as they charged towards Maido—

"The Milky Way accompanies us as we sing loudly!"

—But Maiduo conjured a spear nearly four meters long, which she used to block, stab, throw, and strike, instantly shattering the enemy and scattering them into countless stars that filled the surroundings, creating a dazzling galaxy.

"The light of the future lies in the distance—do not falter in the distance!"

"No hesitation!"

xN

The group sang together again, their eyes growing even more determined.

There is both anticipation for the revival of Mido and hope for overcoming the ecological challenges!

"Pack up the stars to light my oars!"

The spear in Maido's hand transformed into a boat paddle, and the rainbow beneath her feet was no longer just one line, but a seven-colored ocean, undulating and rippling.

"Though the sea of ​​despair is vast and boundless, let's fight!"

"The evening breeze will point out the direction of my hometown!"

The music ended.

Maiduo slowly descended along with the radiant light, and her form, which was exactly the same as in life, gradually became illusory at this moment, transforming back into a golden state of life essence.

"Thank you!"

Maido thought the time had come, and before her life essence completely turned golden, she waved to everyone, "I'm so lucky! I actually got to preside over my own essence return ceremony! Haha!"

"Mr. Jiang, could you host this for everyone from now on?"

"I'm afraid that won't work."

Jiang Liu shook his head. "I am just a passerby, and I will eventually leave. However, if Boss Bai achieves success in his cultivation in the future, he will also be able to do what I did."

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang."

Despite not receiving a reply from Jiang Liu, Mai Duo was still grateful.

When her head had completely transformed into a golden life essence state, Jiang Liu held a pill-shaped Hunyuan pill in his hand, sat cross-legged, manifested a sixteen-foot-tall body, connected with the Earth's magnetic field, and manipulated Mai Duo's life essence to slowly descend onto the lotus root body.

Recite the "Dharani Mantra of the Secret Whole Body Relic Box Seal of the Heart of All Tathagatas," and say: "All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, shadows, dew, and lightning; thus should they be viewed."

In an instant.

Those golden specks of wishful light converged and condensed into a golden ball of light, resembling a golden lotus, which slowly floated atop the lotus.

This faith, formed by the convergence of willpower, was completely fused into the spiritual light of the people of Dragon Bone Village under the chanting of Jiang Liu.

"May the light of wisdom shine upon all beings in the ten directions; may all suffering in the three lower realms be abandoned, and may the darkness of all afflictions be extinguished; may their eyes of wisdom be opened, and may they attain a body of light; may all their former hopes be fulfilled, and may all things become true!"
