Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?

Chapter 377: Chapter 377: The Making of a God

"Brother, are you alright?" Duoduo asked, her eyes brimming with tears.

He was somewhat frightened.

"I’m fine, I feel very good now," Shen Siyuan said with a smile and a wave of his hand.

Then he took a deep breath, and a faint green mist began to rise from the forest and drift toward where Shen Siyuan was.

"You go back into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner first," Shen Siyuan said.

With that thought, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner appeared in his palm. He flicked it casually, and Duoduo was once again drawn into the banner.

Shen Siyuan settled down right where he was, and countless Wood Qi, drawn by the primordial magnetic force within him, quickly converged towards him and rapidly repaired the injuries within his body.

In almost the blink of an eye, his physical injuries were completely healed. Only the severe trauma to his inner mind could not be so simply recovered; it still required some time to recuperate, but this was not a big problem.

Of course, the biggest gain from this journey to the Netherworld was that the Ten Thousand Soul Banner had absorbed a vast amount of pure soul power, advancing the banner’s repair speed considerably.

Lowering his head to examine the small Ten Thousand Soul Banner in his palm, he saw the previously deeply cracked banner shaft now fully restored, the translucent pole dotted with starlight, as if stars were moving on it, and a golden thread spiraling around it like a giant dragon coiled on top, which was a trace left by the previous repair with merit, only incomplete due to the scarcity of the merit.

Besides, the originally damaged banner face was being filled and repaired by groups of silver light flowing like water over the purple surface, exuding a mysterious and noble aura.

Originally, many damaged parts had been filled and restored by this silver glow, and although there were still many broken areas, the difference compared to the previous state was like heaven and earth.

The [Ten Thousand Soul Banner], as the treasure of the Ancient Demon Sect’s Netherworld Sect, had an extraordinary origin. It contained nine layers of restriction, each consisting of countless spaces, resembling a beehive with layers upon layers, the higher the layer, the larger the space, and the more numerous the beehive cells.

The entire [Ten Thousand Soul Banner] was like a giant beehive suspended in the void.

And the space Shen Siyuan had been using, whether for landscaping or storage, was just the first layer of the [Ten Thousand Soul Banner].

Even so, the first layer had not been fully utilized by him, for due to the damage to the banner face, many "beehive cells" were destroyed, causing some originally adjacent "hive cells" to connect together, as different "hive cells" had different, even opposing rules.

Consequently, many "hive cells" lost their original "order" and became chaotic and dangerous; some "hive cells" even disappeared completely, turning into nothingness.

Each layer of space had an entrance, and after entering, there would be a sequence to the "hive cells."

Only by entering certain "hive cells" could one proceed to the next; if a "hive cell" was missing or damaged, it was like a broken bridge, making it difficult to reach the next "hive cell."

Therefore, to access the second layer, the first layer must be completely repaired, and the same goes for reaching the third layer.

Now that the first layer had been fully repaired, he could use it to enter some spaces of the second layer.

Shen Siyuan was eager to repair the [Ten Thousand Soul Banner] because the storage space inside the banner had more precious items the higher the layer.

This was not intentional by the Jiuyou Demon Lord but was related to his cultivation realm back in the day.

For example, the restriction of the first layer was set when he had just embarked on cultivation and his powers were still shallow. Hence, some of the items stored there were meant for novices in the cultivation world, with the Netherworld Fire Fireflies being one of the best treasures.

And the ninth layer even contained real artifacts for attaining godhood. If he had not known about them, it would have been fine, but now that he did, being so close to such treasures yet unable to reach them was hard to accept.

That’s why he wanted to fully repair the [Ten Thousand Soul Banner] to claim all the inheritance of Jiu You Netherworld Lord.

Although he didn’t know how much of the inheritance was left due to the damage to Ten Thousand Soul Banner, how could he rest without seeing it with his own eyes?

Shen Siyuan’s thoughts moved, and then his consciousness entered the Sea of Consciousness.

At this moment, he not only had to repair the damage to his inner mind but also completely annihilate the malicious thoughts stirred by evil, or sink them once again into the deepest part of the Sea of Consciousness.

Above the Sea of Consciousness, countless monsters born from evil thoughts were stirring up trouble, while the four Primordial Magnetic Divine Swords floated high above, slicing down these monsters like falling rain.

But even so, these monsters did not die completely, for they were a part of Shen Siyuan himself. As long as Shen Siyuan’s evil and demonic thoughts proliferated, they would resurrect once again.

The blazing sun within the Divine Sense, born from the Sun Observation Method, also became a lot dimmer, like a reflection in the water, giving off an illusory and intangible feeling, far less solid than before.

Although one of the Primordial Magnetic Swords shattered, Shen Siyuan had no intention of reforging a new one; for him, four swords were quite sufficient at present.

Moreover, nurturing more would only drain his mental strength even more, and he simply lacked the ability to wield too many Divine Swords.

As Shen Siyuan immersed himself in his Sea of Consciousness, the surrounding space began to twist once more, a powerful magnetic field enveloping the entire valley.

"Duoduo, how is brother doing?"

Upon seeing Duoduo return to the Soul Banner, Xiao Yue immediately came over to ask.

"Brother is injured, and there is blood in his nose, eyes, and mouth. It looks a bit scary," Duoduo said, furrowing her brow with worry.

"Is he going to turn into a big painted face?" Dou Dou curiously said from the side.

Xiao Yue, standing to the side, promptly delivered a punch to her head, frightening Dou Dou into silence.

"Is it that serious? Will he be okay?" Xiao Yue was somewhat worried.

"Brother says it’s nothing. He is still smiling; he looks surprisingly happy, I really don’t understand," Duoduo muttered softly.

"Happy even when beaten to death?" Dou Dou’s eyes widened with curiosity, unable to hold back from speaking again.

But Sister Xiao Yue gave her a look, and she quickly pursed her lips and ran to the side.

Missing sister every day when she’s not around, and hoping she’s not there when she is, the little one is really quite conflicted.

Watching Xiao Yue and Duoduo continue to talk, not noticing her, Dou Dou quietly slipped away, pulled something out from a corner, fondled it with her hands—smooth and round—and then broke into a goofy smile.

This was something she had snuck in from the Netherworld, intending to take it back and present it to her parents as a gift.

They would surely be very happy and praise her as a super great baby.

"Hehehe..."

"Dou Dou, Dou Dou..."

"I’m right here."

Dou Du quickly hid the object, definitely not letting her sisters find out, or they would snatch it away.

"Let’s go, I will look around elsewhere," said Xiao Yue.

Even though aware of Shen Siyuan’s injury, as the spirit of the Soul Banner, she didn’t have many options, only to quietly await Shen Siyuan’s recovery and his summons.

At this moment, Duoduo lagged a few steps behind, stealthily glancing towards a corner, she too had hidden something.

Hehe...
