Ever since Sergei was captured, Miyashiro had kept him trapped in a Sharingan genjutsu to ensure his quiet obedience.
Miyashiro pulled out a scroll from his pocket, on which the Impure World Reincarnation jutsu was inscribed. He unrolled the scroll and placed it on the ground, directly facing Sergei. Then, Miyashiro swiftly cut off a section of Chiyo's right arm and placed it in the empty space in the center of the scroll's jutsu formation.
Upon contact with Chiyo's flesh, the jutsu on the scroll seemed to come alive, automatically spreading towards Sergei. Eventually, to everyone's astonishment, a mysterious and eerie pattern formed on the ground, encircling Sergei in the very center, sending shivers down their spines.
After the preparations were complete, Miyashiro looked back at Chiyo and said, "Lady Chiyo, a force might try to take you away shortly. Do not resist, though resistance would likely be futile anyway."
Hu Tao looked at the formation on the ground and couldn't help but ask, "Miyashiro, what exactly are you doing? This isn't a method for making zombies, is it?"
Miyashiro chuckled, "Who told you I was turning Chiyo into a zombie? Just watch, this is a ninjutsu worthy of being recorded in Teyvat's history."
A premonition of unease flashed through Hu Tao's mind as she asked, "What will happen to the person in the middle of the formation?"
Miyashiro smiled but said nothing, squatting down and forming the 'snake' hand seal with his hands. A surge of Chakra flowed from Miyashiro's body into the scroll beneath his feet.
"Ninjutsu: Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu!"
As the Chakra activated the formation etched on the ground, the array's core beneath Sheldon suddenly emitted a burst of white light.
At that moment, the unconscious Sergei instantly awoke. Looking at the unfamiliar yet exotic architecture before him, the three philosophical questions popped into his mind: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
When he saw Miyashiro's familiar yet terrifying face, Sergei immediately became alarmed, pointing at him in a panic and cursing, "Uchiha Miyashiro! I am Snezhnaya's Diplomatic Ambassador stationed in Mondstadt, representing the Tsaritsa's supreme authority! You cannot kill me; killing me is like declaring war on Snezhnaya!
It would be easier for Snezhnaya to flatten a small Inazuma than to crush an ant."
Miyashiro scoffed disdainfully and said, "Do you want to see where you are right now? What is a Snezhnaya Diplomatic Ambassador stationed in Mondstadt doing in Inazuma's territory? Besides, you are no longer a Diplomatic Ambassador.
The Lawrence Family went to hell because of your support. If you, who colluded with them, don't go down and join them, wouldn't that be a bit unsociable?"
With that, Miyashiro increased the flow of Chakra. From the array's core beneath Sergei, countless white papers floated up, slowly covering Sergei's entire body, starting from his feet. Sergei let out a tragic wail.
Finally, his entire body was covered by white paper, and Sergei's wailing abruptly stopped, leaving him as a white paper model.
Just then, Chiyo's soul seemed to be drawn by some force. Thanks to Miyashiro's earlier warning, Chiyo did not resist this force but let it take its natural course.
Chiyo's soul transformed into a beam of white light, shooting directly into the paper model within the array's core. After the white paper slowly fell away, Sergei's appearance had vanished, replaced by the exquisite form of Miko Chiyo.
The only flaw was that Miko Chiyo's body was covered in countless tiny cracks, as if it would shatter with a touch, marring Chiyo's stunning beauty.
Everyone present was stunned by this miraculous sight. This was simply a divine miracle! No, this was a miracle that even the Seven Archons could not achieve!
Chiyo's consciousness descended upon this newly formed body. She felt a strange sensation throughout, but the feeling of imminent dissipation had vanished. She had, in a sense, come back to life.
Chiyo looked at her new body, moving it around. She quickly frowned, noticing something amiss. This new body was many times weaker than her original Oni clan body.
But then her brows relaxed. Being alive was already the greatest blessing; to be so picky was simply unacceptable.
Miyashiro picked up the long sword from Chiyo's right arm earlier and walked towards Chiyo. To everyone's bewildered gaze, he swung the sword down at Chiyo's body.
Chiyo's body was directly cut in half by Miyashiro's sword. But strangely, Chiyo not only felt no pain, but her severed body began to heal automatically. Before long, it returned to its original state.
Everyone looked at Miyashiro, hoping for an explanation.
Miyashiro: "This technique is called Impure World Reincarnation. It uses the body of a living person as a vessel to imprison the deceased, summoning the soul of the dead from the Pure Land to the Impure World.
The summoned deceased possess all their abilities from when they were alive, but not necessarily all their power. They feel no fatigue or pain and possess an immortal body; even if they take DMG, they can automatically regenerate. However, the cost is that they lose the sensations of a living person and are forever controlled by the caster.
Of course, you can rest assured on that point. You are Ei's close friend, and I will not give you any strange commands. In short, Lady Chiyo, you have been reborn and can continue to accompany Ei."
Ei stepped forward and touched Chiyo's body. Indeed, there was no sensation of a living being; no heartbeat, no soft skin, but the consciousness was truly Chiyo's.
At this moment, Ei seemed to recall something: "Miyashiro, can you perform this jutsu on Makoto, Kitsune Saiguu, and Sasayuri as well?"
As Ei finished speaking, Yae Miko also looked at Miyashiro with a hopeful expression.
Everyone seemed to realize something. Zhongli thought of his deceased old friends, Guizhong, Skybracer, and Minghai Qixia True Monarch.
Shenhe thought of her parents who had passed away many years ago.
Even Hu Tao, who was highly averse to this method, unconsciously thought of her deceased grandfather deep down.
Miyashiro could only explain, "To perform this method, two conditions must be met simultaneously: first, there must be a certain amount of flesh and blood as personal information material; second, the soul must still be alive in the world. Those whose souls have been scattered, or who have let go of their attachments and reincarnated, cannot have this jutsu performed on them.
Ei, I understand your feelings. If you have the flesh and blood tissue of Makoto, Kitsune Saiguu, and Sasayuri, I can try to help you see if their souls are truly still alive in the world. If it doesn't succeed, it means their souls are no longer present."
After hearing Miyashiro's explanation, a hint of sadness flickered in Ei and Miko's eyes. Neither Makoto nor Kitsune Saiguu left behind bodies when they died.
Sasayuri died on the battlefield, and his body was recovered, but Sasayuri died in the Eastern Invasion War a thousand years ago. His body has been buried underground for so many years that there's probably nothing left, and even if there were, what kind of soul could remain in the world for over a thousand years without reincarnating?
