Chapter 280 Recalling the Past: The So-Called "Resurrection Magic"
Shu Xin immediately sought answers from the Tree of Life, and unsurprisingly received the reply that the Tree of Life could not sense the status of the other flower fairies.
...She could still leave messages for her through the Tree of Life, so these flower fairies should still retain some consciousness and awareness, Shu Xin could only comfort herself with this thought.
The need for "salvation" is understandable, but what does "finding" mean? Aren't the flower fairies all on the Tree of Life in the royal city? And what's with "not yet started" and "not yet finished"? What exactly does this refer to? Could it be Ganar's plan to destroy the world?
Oh, and there's also "being prepared"—Shu Xin had no idea what preparations she had made, let alone what preparations the flower fairies had made!
But this message was clearly a definite signal, and could even be a signal to begin action, although Shu Xin didn't yet know what kind of action it was...
After finishing the soup, Shu Xin stared at the empty bowl in front of her, feeling completely bewildered.
Wait a minute, Shu Shuxin was expelled from the Tree of Life because she trespassed into the forbidden area, trying to steal the fruit from the Tree of Life to revive her magical cat. But the Tree of Life can no longer nurture life, so where would she get the fruit?!
Suddenly remembering this, Shu Xin shuddered.
Having just transmigrated to this magical world, she knew almost nothing about it and naturally didn't understand what it meant. Later, she was completely preoccupied with building the Land of Sin. Although she gradually learned some things about the river elves and the Tree of Life, her main focus was still on improving the living standards of the flower fairies.
If it weren't for the sudden appearance of a message that seemed to come from the flower fairies on the Tree of Life in the Royal City, Shu Xin probably wouldn't have recalled more details from her memories.
Shu Shuxin was separated from her parents at birth. The little flower fairy and her equally small magical cat depended on each other for survival in a huge and empty palace. She slowly grew up and became a flower fairy, and the magical cat slowly grew up and became a cat knight. She felt that her life was peaceful and happy. With the magical cat's companionship, she felt content and joyful.
But as an ordinary human being born into an ordinary world and living a relatively smooth life, Shu Xin has loving family and friends, and she only feels that this kind of life is terribly lonely.
When she went through Shu Shuxin's memories, she couldn't help but recall her own past. However, she was already in this strange and magical world. Every memory seemed to remind her of what she had lost. All she could do was try to move forward and look ahead.
Back on the terrace, Shu Xin gazed at the setting sun. The red sun, set on the horizon where the forest met the sky, looked no different from the sunset in her original world. She exhaled softly, then lowered her eyes and began to carefully peruse Shu Shu Xin's memories—
The death of the Cat Knight was like the morning sunlight streaming through the window. The Flower Fairy, who had been sleeping sweetly nestled in the giant magical cat, woke up as usual after dawn. The warm and soft furry embrace prevented her from noticing anything unusual. But when she got up, the Cat Knight did not stretch as usual.
When Shu Shuxin reached out and touched the magic cat's fur, but couldn't sense any magical fluctuations, she realized that the cat knight was dead.
Perhaps in order to continue to accompany their master, the magical cat with the talent of time magic left behind its body, which was formed from magic power. Under normal circumstances, a dead magical cat would disappear directly and would not leave behind a corpse.
But the Flower Fairy was overwhelmed by immense pain and boundless loneliness. She frantically searched through the vast, star-studded magic scrolls in the library, trying to find a way to revive the Cat Knight. Indeed, the scrolls contained all sorts of resurrection magic, practically everything imaginable.
Shu Xin had only gone through the memory once, and the impression she had left was that resurrection magic was forbidden magic, and the magical materials were also difficult to obtain.
After a careful examination, she realized that resurrection magic was indeed forbidden magic. However, if one wanted to resurrect fairies, orcs, humans, and dragons, setting aside morality and ethics, the difficulty of obtaining magical materials was relative. For example, the souls and magic power of blood relatives, the blood and flesh of blood relatives, the favor of a certain god, the aversion of a certain god, and so on.
The vast majority of resurrection spells are not perfect. For example, when a fairy is resurrected as an undead, or a gem silver dragon is resurrected as a vengeful bone dragon, the resurrection spell is considered to have worked normally. Moreover, the prerequisites for the spell to work successfully are quite demanding. For example, the fairy's most important and most easily dissipated fairy heart must not be completely destroyed, and the gem silver dragon's easily stolen remains and soul fire must be preserved intact.
Among all the races, elves are particularly unique. Resurrection magic cannot work on elves because the elven race does not have the concept of complete death. When an elf dies, its soul automatically returns to the embrace of the Mother Tree, and is then revived as a new elf through the nurturing of the Mother Tree.
As for magical cats, which are purely magical creations, resurrection magic cannot work either, because their most important basis is emotion. Different emotional input will shape and nurture different magical cats, and emotion is not included in the scope of magical materials required by resurrection magic.
Shu Shuxin didn't believe it. After searching through all the resurrection spells, she decided to research a spell that could resurrect her own cat knight. Since the soul of a dead elf could be reborn from the mother tree, wouldn't it be possible to resurrect the cat knight by separating her own soul, merging it with the soul of the magical cat, and then putting them into the mother tree together?
Even though Shu Xin didn't have a deep understanding of magic, she could tell that this so-called "resurrection magic" couldn't possibly succeed.
Shu Shuxin had never obtained the Key of Life. She did not know that the River Fairy's mother tree, the Tree of Life, had suffered severe damage and was unable to conceive new life. However, she knew that her separated soul was difficult to merge with the Magic Cat's soul, and even if they did merge, there was a high probability that the mother tree would not accept it. Nevertheless, she still took the plunge and chose to act.
The flower fairy, who also possessed the talent of time magic, turned back the magical cat's time to before its death, and endured excruciating pain to separate its soul, which contained most of the magical cat's memories.
After failing to merge their souls, she chose to envelop the magical cat's soul with her own. Then, her soul left her body and she tried to call upon the Mother Tree. And the Mother Tree did indeed summon the injured child to its side, just as recorded in the scroll.
The weakness of the mother tree shocked the flower fairy, but the fruit hanging on the withered branches of the mother tree delighted her. She flew over, wanting to throw her separated soul into the fruit, but before she could touch the fruit, she only felt the magical glow emanating from it, and instantly lost consciousness.
When Shu Shuxin woke up inside her body, she realized that her mission had failed.
Ignoring the king's banishment, Shu Shuxin woke up to the despairing discovery that the time magic on the cat knight's corpse was slowly losing its effect—because she had reversed the magic cat's time, the time-stopping magic that the cat knight himself had set up was destroyed.
Unable to bear it all, the flower fairy curled up in the arms of the magic cat, whose body still retained a faint warmth, and fell into a permanent sleep before the cat knight completely disappeared.
