"Aunt Josie, there is still a breath of life in your husband. Why don't you let my avatar treat him and see if he's able to make a recovery?"
They had been staying there for some time now and Darren noticed that Josie always seemed dejected when she looked at the man lying on the ice bed.
This was the root of why she had become so gaunt and withered. The one she loved more than anything was right in front of her, but he was barely there, just wasting away, lifeless. How could she not be sad?
Josie shook her head slightly and replied, "Even my god's power can't cure him. Yours can't either."
Her husband's name was Ferris Ji. He had once been one of the most outstanding reclusive cultivators of the human race. But he had then been detected by the spiritual sense of a chief god and was left with no choice but to escape into the abyss.
When the chief god's projection surrounded the Chu Clan and attacked them without mercy, he saved Josie, and the two of them had been together ever since.
But that mission had exposed Ferris Ji's existence to the chief god, who then sent his projection after him, chasing him down and never stopping. Unfortunately, he was eventually caught up to and had taken some serious damage and was left badly injured. He had been unconscious since then.
"Aunt Josie, Xavier's rule cultivation is very powerful. He may be able to do it. Just let him at least try," Darren pleaded.
The Rule Soul Avatar nodded as well and added, "Aunt Josie, I have the Resurrection Force; it's capable of bringing the dead back to life."
"Really?" Josie did not know what the Resurrection Force was, but when she saw Darren and the Rule Soul Avatar's confidence, a spark of hope suddenly ignited in her heart. "In that case, Xavier, put this soft armor on first and go see your uncle Ferris."
"As you say, Aunt Josie." The Rule Soul Avatar took the suit of armor from her and put it on. It was used to resist the pressure from the ice bed.
The Rule Soul Avatar walked over to the ice bed without difficulty now that he was properly equipped.
Ferris Ji was lying on the ice bed, wearing a tenacious look on his face, as if he were still fighting, still holding on. But his lips were dry and pale. He looked like he were dead.
The Rule Soul Avatar activated his silvery eyes and began examining Ferris Ji's injury.
Of course, he did not dare to invade into Ferris' body with them. He only observed the abnormality through the law silk threads connected to his body.
The more the Rule Soul Avatar investigated the problem, the more tightly he frowned.
He saw wisps of golden law silk threads, like long worms, gathered on the surface of his body.
These were the cause of the problem, the problem left behind by the chief god's power.
"It's no wonder he's unable to wake up." The Rule Soul Avatar's head began to ache from the strain and he withdrew himself out of the silvery eyes state.
Josie heard his words and her eyebrows were suddenly raised. "Xavier, have you discovered the issue?"
"Yes, I have." The Rule Soul Avatar nodded. "The god's power of the chief god is left in Uncle Ferris' body. It's a special kind of suppressive god's power; it's quite unique. If I remove it, there is a chance I can wake him."
"Really?" Josie asked, trembling with excitement. Her husband had been this way so long that she wondered if it was even possible to cure him.
"Aunt Josie, worry not. I will do my best, but it may take some time."
"I understand. Thank you, Xavier." Josie could almost not contain her joy and was close to bursting into tears, but she managed to hold it in.
"It is... It's my duty," responded the Rule Soul Avatar. He had been trying to learn Darren's way of speaking to make up for his lack of human emotions.
His awkward words made everyone giggle again.
"Well then, what are you waiting for? Save your uncle!" Jenifer scolded with a naughty smile.
"Uh..."
The Rule Soul Avatar turned around and sat cross-legged on the edge of the ice bed, entering the silvery eyes state once more.
A wisp of invisible silvery light floated steadily towards a golden silk thread.
Crack!
An incredibly powerful explosion erupted when the two wisps of light collided. If not for the protection from the powerful barrier around the ice bed, the stone chamber would surely have collapsed from the impact.
The Rule Soul Avatar was hit hard though, his body almost breaking down from it.
The golden silk thread was certainly not to be trifled with!
If collisions like this happened a few more times, it was very likely the Rule Soul Avatar's silvery eyes would be damaged.
There were so many golden silk threads that it would take millions of years at the least to destroy them one at a time.
