Chapter 216: The Power of the Plane Master, Another Large-Scale Resurrection!
"The Sea Goddess understands what the Plane Master has said," the Sea Princess spoke softly, her voice carrying a trace of barely perceptible hoarseness. "From the grand perspective of planar evolution, your actions are beyond reproach; they are a necessary move to maintain the vitality and balance of the plane. It's just..."
She raised her eyes, and that deep sorrow surfaced within them once more.
"When I think of those lives that once vibrantly existed in the ocean, yet permanently vanished because of the Demon Empress, when I think of the clans and futures they once had... in the Sea Goddess's heart, it is still difficult to let go. They should not have become the price for 'evolution' and 'trials'."
Looking at the sincere grief in the Sea Princess's eyes, a very faint yet meaningful smile suddenly appeared on Lei Chen's face.
"If I were to say," his tone remained calm, yet it felt as if he had dropped a massive boulder, "that those oceanic beings once devoured or killed by the Demon Empress have not completely returned to nothingness, and that I can... bring them back to life?"
"What?!"
The Sea Princess snapped her head up, those eyes that were like a calm sea surface instantly churning with stormy waves! All her composure, sorrow, and enlightenment were replaced in this moment by an unbelievable ecstasy and urgency!
She even involuntarily took a small half-step forward, her gaze burning as she stared intently at Lei Chen, her voice trembling slightly with excitement:
"Plane Master... You, you mean... resurrection? Those oceanic beings harmed by the Demon Empress... you can resurrect them?! Is this true?!"
The sea gods tear in her hand seemed to sense its master's violent emotional fluctuations, emitting an even warmer and brighter light.
Lei Chen looked at the Sea Princess's eyes, which had instantly become as bright as stars, and her undisguised urgency and expectation. The smile on his face deepened slightly as he gave a gentle nod, his tone carrying an indifference and certainty as if he could fulfill any promise:
"Naturally. As long as they were beings of this plane and died within this plane, I can reshape their flesh and blood, call back their spirits, and grant them new life."
He paused, looking at the Sea Princess with a gentle gaze: "Does this count as the first formal request you've made to me after attaining the god position of the Sea Goddess?"
The Sea Princess had almost no hesitation. She bowed deeply once more, her posture even more solemn than before, even carrying a hint of entreaty:
"Yes! The Sea Goddess is here to implore the Plane Master's mercy to take action and resurrect those innocent oceanic beings who died tragically at the hands of the Demon Empress! Let them return to the embrace of the sea and continue their interrupted lives! This kindness and virtue will be forever remembered by the Sea Goddess and the entire ocean!"
Her voice was firm and full of emotion, and her eyes shimmered with the tears of hope.
Lei Chen raised his hand slightly in a supporting gesture and said calmly: "Since it is the first request after the Sea Goddess has taken her place, and it is to mend the pain of the oceanic beings and recast the vitality of the ocean... how could I have any reason not to grant it?"
As his voice fell, he spoke no more. He simply raised his right hand, pressing his index and middle fingers together, and made a seemingly casual point in the air toward the vast, boundless azure ocean ahead.
"Buzz—!!!"
This time, it was no longer a slight ripple.
The entire world seemed to emit a magnificent resonance under this one finger!
Starting from Lei Chen's fingertip, a point of seven-colored brilliance—pure to the extreme and seemingly containing all the sources of life from the beginning of creation—suddenly lit up. The light was not dazzling, yet it carried an indescribable aura of antiquity, holiness, and creation.
The light spread rapidly, like ink dropped into clear water, yet millions of times faster. In an instant, it enveloped the entire sea area within sight and continued to spread toward even more distant maritime borders at an alarming speed!
Under the illumination of this seven-colored divine light, the ocean seemed to turn into a giant, transparent model interwoven with countless threads of laws.
Relying on her newly born Sea Goddess status, the Sea Princess could clearly'see' that between the law networks representing seawater, ocean currents, and earth veins, countless extremely fine, nearly ethereal light blue or silver-white light spots were floating. They were like dust or stardust, suspended silently, emitting a weak yet stubborn aura of 'life'.
These were the life imprints remaining in this plane after those beings were killed and devoured by the Demon Empress!
Lei Chen's fingers turned slowly, like a master lutenist plucking the most fundamental strings of heaven and earth.
"In my name, I draw the light of the source to trace the marks of life."
He chanted in a low voice, and every word seemed to transform into a physical law rune, merging into that seven-colored divine light.
"Scattered imprints, hear the summons—return to your places."
"Broken spirits, emerge from ignorance—awaken."
"Vanished flesh and blood, follow the marks—reshape."
Following his words, the seven-colored divine light enveloping heaven and earth suddenly became active. Within the light, countless even finer and more complex golden runes flowed and combined as if they possessed life, evolving into various law trajectories representing 'gestation', 'growth', 'repair', and 'awakening'.
Those light blue and silver-white light spots floating within the law networks seemed to be awakened from the deepest slumber, beginning to vibrate slightly and emit a joyful and urgent resonance.
They were gently wrapped and pulled by the seven-colored divine light, slowly gathering toward their respective original 'positions' within the ocean.
Immediately after, a miraculous scene that the Sea Princess would never forget in her life played out grandly before her eyes and across the entire vast ocean!
In those sea areas where the light spots gathered—
In the originally empty seawater, a point of azure glimmer quietly lit up, then rapidly expanded and stretched, outlining the silhouettes of swimming fish. Scales appeared from nothing, turning from ethereal to solid, shimmering with a healthy luster; gills opened and closed gently, and tails began to wag...
In the blink of an eye, schools of fish of various species and sizes appeared out of thin air. They were initially suspended in the water in a daze, then seemed to remember something as they joyfully wagged their bodies and merged into the surrounding currents, as if they had never left.
In the coral reef areas, those coral thickets that had once been turned deathly white and gray by the erosion of the Demon Empress's evil power were injected with the most surging fountain of life. The gray and defeated colors rapidly faded away, and brilliant colors like red, yellow, blue, and purple bloomed again at a speed visible to the naked eye!
In just a moment, vast stretches of coral reefs regained their former magnificence and vitality, becoming even more lush than before. Countless small creatures that relied on the coral to survive also quietly emerged.
In deep-sea chasms, on oceanic ridges, and in the open ocean... similar scenes were occurring simultaneously in countless sea areas.
Massive sea beasts like sharks and octopuses that had been devoured by the Demon Empress had their complete bodies reconsolidated in the light. They emitted long or low cries, wagged their powerful tail fins or tentacles, and began to cruise again;
Sea Soul Beasts that belonged to clans and had developed intelligence stepped out from the light. A trace of daze and shock from surviving a disaster first flashed through their eyes, which was then immediately overwhelmed by immense joy. They emitted excited hisses or calls, searching for their lost companions. Soon, Sea Soul Beast clans reunited one by one, with excited tears diffusing into the seawater;
Even the tiniest plankton and algae re-emerged with startling density under the nourishment of the divine light, injecting the most exuberant vitality into the base of the ocean's food chain...
There was no world-shaking loud noise, nor were there any space-shaking fluctuations.
There was only the most authentic aura of life, like spring breeze turning into rain, quietly yet irresistibly permeating every corner of the vast ocean.
The subtle sounds made by countless new or 'returned' lives—the gurgling of swimming, the bubbling of breathing, the joyful cries, the rustling of coral growth... converged into an incomparably grand and moving symphony of life.
The ocean, which had seemed desolate and even somewhat lifeless due to the Demon Empress's rampage, was as if injected with infinite vitality, instantly becoming bustling and full of life.
That scene of all things competing and flourishing was millions of times more moving than the most beautiful oceanic painting in the Sea Princess's memory!
She stood suspended in the air in a daze, watching the incredible miracle happening beneath her feet and in the distance, seeing countless once-departed lives return to the sea in such a perfect way. Her azure eyes had long been completely blurred by crystalline tears.
Sorrow was washed away, regrets were mended, and the heavy boulder pressing on her heart due to the countless lost lives was finally completely moved away at this moment, replaced by an unprecedented warmth, touch, and fulfillment.
She slowly turned her head and looked at the Plane Master beside her, who still looked calm as if he had only done a trivial thing. This time, the respect in her eyes was no longer just out of awe for a supreme existence, but was also infused with the most sincere gratitude and reverence from the depths of her soul.
She bowed deeply, very deeply, toward Lei Chen once more.
This time, it was silent, yet it surpassed a thousand words.
Lei Chen withdrew his finger, and the vast seven-colored divine light between heaven and earth slowly retracted and dissipated, finally returning to tranquility. He glanced at the Sea Princess beside him, who was too excited for words, and then looked down at the vast ocean that had completely regained its vitality and even appeared more vigorous. A trace of barely perceptible, profound light flashed in his eyes.
The chapter of the ocean had, at this point, turned to a brand-new page. And a newly born Sea Goddess, who harbored mercy and deeply loved the myriad spirits of the ocean, would truly shoulder the supreme mission of guarding this boundless azure after today.
