"Hands weave the destiny of all things; open eyes, and it is day; close eyes, and it is night. He is creation, and destruction; the sky is His countenance, thunder is His wrath. Death is His courtyard; holding the scepter of truth, He bestows change upon living beings. The destiny of all things, the sacred being, I offer my sacrifice here, calling for Your coming..."
Liu Yanyan recited the incantation word by word, her expression solemn. As the incantation was uttered, the originally quiet basement suddenly became terrifying and oppressive, as if some being had turned its gaze to this place.
The air slowly solidified, and Liu Yanyan's forehead was covered in a dense layer of cold sweat. Her heart felt like it was being gripped by a hand, and every breath became extremely difficult.
Xu Le had just finished dealing with the treasure when he received Liu Yanyan's summons. In fact, this so-called sacrificial array was just an information transmission and positioning array. However, Xu Le had made some minor improvements to it, modifying the pattern to make it look extremely sinister and terrifying! After all, things without prestige are not easy to attract attention, and Xu Le would naturally not make such a low-level mistake.
Xu Le quickly arrived at the location indicated by the formation, and used the snake talisman to stealthily enter the cellar.
Xu Le thought for a moment, then connected with the Gate of All Realms. A wisp of the Gate of All Realms emanated from his body, and the boundless power and eternal aura pressed down on Liu Yanyan, causing her to kneel on the ground, her face flushed and unable to breathe. If this continued, Liu Yanyan might suffocate to death.
"I can't die! Ah Le hasn't been resurrected yet, I can't die here!"
Liu Yanyan resisted the terrifying pressure with all her might, her veins bulging and her face contorted in a ferocious expression. She clenched her teeth so tightly that her gums began to bleed, and the sweet and metallic taste returned to her mouth, making Liu Yanyan more sober.
However, the pressure on her back was like a huge mountain. No matter how hard she tried, it was of no use. She couldn't even mobilize the Qi within her body. She could only be helplessly pressed to the ground. The huge weight began to squeeze her internal organs through her body. Under the immense pain, Liu Yanyan's consciousness began to blur.
Blood seeped from the corners of her eyes, and two lines of bloody tears streamed down her face. She struggled to reach out and grasp at the air where Xu Le's body lay, as if trying to grab onto something. In the end, under the pressure of this supreme power, her hand drooped helplessly. A mixture of saliva and blood dripped from the corner of her mouth, and she murmured softly, "Ah Le, I've come to join you!"

Chapter 118: Resurrection
Clap clap clap!
The zombies and poisonous frogmen inside the house exploded under the powerful pressure, but they didn't scatter everywhere; they simply turned into a pile of minced meat and mixed together on the ground.
The toxins carried by the highly venomous frogman were instantly purified under this eternal white light, leaving no trace.
Just when Liu Yanyan thought she was about to die under this terrifying pressure, the immense pressure, as terrifying as a mountain peak, instantly dissipated, and a deep voice, neither male nor female, boomed in her ears, "Mortal, what do you desire!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Liu Yanyan gasped for air, her body drenched in sweat as if she had just been pulled out of the water. She struggled to lift her head and opened her blurry eyes, vaguely seeing a floating figure. The figure was obscured by the white light, making it impossible to discern its appearance, or even whether it was male or female.
He was like a god or demon emerging from the infinite chaos, ruthless and arrogant, looking down upon me, an ant, with supreme power.
Liu Yanyan tried, but no matter how carefully she looked, she couldn't make out the figure in the ball of light.
For some reason, Liu Yanyan felt a strange sense of familiarity with this figure, but she couldn't describe it. So she buried this feeling deep in her heart and dared not show it.
Liu Yanyan struggled to her feet, her clothes stained with crimson, her hair a mess like a bird's nest, and her lip bitten raw.
"Please resurrect the person in the coffin! I will offer sufficient sacrifices!" Liu Yanyan bowed respectfully. She did not know the name of this being, nor was there any record of him in the evil scriptures, so she addressed him as "you." Although she appeared calm, she was actually in a state of panic.
Xu Le remained silent within the ball of light, and the room fell into silence for a moment. Liu Yanyan's heart sank to the bottom, and endless emptiness and worry gripped her tightly, trying to extinguish her hope completely.
"Yes!" Liu Yanyan's face lit up with joy, and she said impatiently, "Then please, Your Majesty, revive him!"
Xu Le was enveloped in the eternal white light of the Gate of Myriad Realms, and his aura of suppressing everything was gathered into a single point. His gaze toward Liu Yanyan was calm, shattering Liu Yanyan's hopes. "Your offering is not enough!"
"Why! I have already collected the corpses of Taoist masters, the hearts of ninety-nine Taoist priests, and the souls of 333 ordinary people. If you think it's not enough, I have more than a hundred souls here..." Liu Yanyan pleaded desperately on the ground, her expression panicked.
Xu Le moved his fingers, and the hearts in the snakeskin bag flew out one by one. Most of them were then crushed and turned into minced meat that dripped to the ground, leaving only 43 in the air.
"Only 43 are qualified. You used a bunch of ordinary people's hearts to make up the numbers. You've got some nerve!" Xu Le's voice was authoritative without being angry, causing the walls to tremble and large amounts of plaster to fall off.
Facing this imposing aura, Liu Yanyan trembled all over, but she mustered her courage and continued to plead, "Your Majesty, could you please be lenient? I can go and collect more!"
"I accept your offering, and I will forgive your offense this time!" Seeing that the situation was about right, Xu Le's white light became more intense, as if it might disappear at any moment.
Liu Yanyan's heart tightened. She knew that this mysterious being was extremely dissatisfied with her. She had accepted the gift and was preparing to leave, but she did not intend to revive Xu Le.
Although offending him could be life-threatening, Liu Yanyan couldn't care less about it for Xu Le's sake. She quickly stopped Xu Le, who was trying to leave, and said firmly, "Whatever Your Majesty desires, as long as I can do it, I will definitely fulfill it!"
"Interesting!" The figure in the white light became somewhat interested, and the light was no longer illusory, but rather flowed with streaks of rosy light.
What do you have that can move me?
"I have myself, I have my soul, I can give you my heart, I can control zombies, everything, as long as you can revive him, I am willing to give you everything!" Liu Yanyan cried bitterly, her body trembling uncontrollably. Her body, already full of internal injuries, began to flare up, and all the veins in her body began to twitch. Her body had reached its end under the immense pressure just now, and now death energy permeated her body, and she was only able to hold on by a single will.
"Pathetic human emotions! Was it really necessary for you to make such a huge sacrifice for this man?" the figure in the ball of light asked, without joy or sorrow, as if asking her name as casually as if it were a question.
Liu Yanyan suddenly smiled, a warm smile, and said calmly, "What's there to consider whether it's worth it or not? I love him, so I'm willing to give everything for him. He's the most precious treasure in the world to me. He's given me unprecedented warmth, so I'm willing to sacrifice everything for him..."
Xu Le's gaze flickered slightly within the ball of light, but then returned to calm. Any unusual emotions that had just arisen were extinguished by his Seven-Colored Dao Heart, and he maintained a rational state.
"Then what do I have to give in return?" Liu Yanyan's smile vanished, and she asked calmly, her eyes clear. She glanced at the corpse lying in the coffin, and a relieved smile appeared on her lips.
Xu Le looked at Liu Yanyan. The corpse energy in her body far exceeded the human energy, so her body was slowly turning into a zombie. Because she had overdrawn a lot of her lifespan, she had entered old age.
Xu Le had anticipated this, since he was the one who provided the cult book, and all the evil arts within it required sacrificing one's life force. Liu Yanyan had basically followed the path Xu Le had given her, and only the final step remained.
"I want you!" Xu Le said indifferently from within the white light.
"Me!" Liu Yanyan looked somewhat surprised, glanced nervously at the white light, and took a small step back. However, remembering that she needed His help, she stopped and asked in a low voice, "What do you want me to do?"
"You don't want to live anymore, do you?"
“That’s right, I’m guilty of many sins, and it’s time for me to go to hell!” Liu Yanyan nodded, her eyes somewhat dim.
Xu Le continued, "Are you willing?"
"I..." Liu Yanyan was speechless for a moment, but thinking of her lover still in the coffin, she lowered her eyes, thought for a while, and said resolutely, "I do!"
"Remember what you said!"
The condensed white light burst open instantly, transforming into countless thin white threads that raced through the cellar.
