For a super expert who has cultivated to the Ninth Stage King Level, the blow of a drop in realm may not be lighter than death.
The Ice Emperor, Kong Zheng, and others on the side also understood the two choices Su Yuan proposed.
One choice maintains strength, but requires temperance; the other disperses cultivation, but frees the constraints, everything can start anew.
For others, it might be a difficult choice, but as Long glanced at the Ice Emperor, Bing Tong, and his friend Kong Zheng on the side, he quickly smiled:
"To scatter wealth and come again, I’ve already rebuilt in the Grey Realm once, it’s just another round!" Long laughed heartily and then turned to the Ice Emperor, "Bingbing, if my realm is too low, you won’t despise me, right?"
"You rascal!" Being called that in front of everyone, a hint of blush rose on the cold and charming face of the Ice Emperor, glaring at him embarrassedly but disdainfully, "It sounds as if you could defeat me now anyway! Your realm is lower than mine, what’s the difference?"
"Hahaha, that’s good!" Long laughed, "If that’s the case, Su Yuan, I choose to dismantle the Star Core for resurrection."
Su Yuan nodded slightly: "No problem."
Long’s gaze fell on his obedient daughter Bing Tong: "To dismantle the Star Core, I shouldn’t waste the Power of the Divine General!"
Long called Bing Tong to the front, placing both hands on her back.
A tangible Time Power waved from Long, transforming into a layer of gold light containing time’s mysteries, flowing along his hands onto Luo Bingtong, enveloping her inside.
There were multiple reasons why Long chose to disperse cultivation for resurrection.
First, because of his carefree and unrestrained nature.
Second, to leave his Time Power to Luo Bingtong, similar to when Zi Yue actively left her power to Mu Kexian.
Luo Bingtong’s Ice Talent originates from the Ice Emperor, while her potential in time originally comes from Long. Their bloodlines are interconnected, making this power transfer even more compatible.
Thirdly, Long knows well that whether it’s the Eight Divine Generals or Sky Blue Refinement, the puppets created by Divine Artifact power have "quota" limitations, and Long doesn’t wish to occupy one of Su Yuan’s.
Before long, as the golden light dissipated, the bright blue light burst from Luo Bingtong’s sapphire-like eyes, the power of ice combined with strong fluctuations of time, making her seem like Mystic Ice, unmelting and unyielding for ages.
"Cough, cough...!"
Suddenly, Long spat out a mouthful of blood, his breath weakened, and the fluctuation of Star Power dramatically plummeted like a bottomless pit!
"Brother Long!" The Ice Emperor hurriedly supported him, the usual cold arrogance in her gaze now filled with a bit of panic.
Bing Tong, though silent, also hurriedly supported Long from the other side, the mother and daughter helping Long to sit down together.
When Long traveled the world, he used the name Luo Tianlong, which is why Luo Bingtong’s surname is Luo, while in the Grey Realm he was called "Long."
"Then I leave it to you, Su Yuan..." Long smiled pale-faced, and within mere breaths, lost all signs of life.
Su Yuan’s gaze intensified, tightly gripping the Sky Blue Sword, where the Life Runes flickered fiercely, transforming into infinite vitality swelling, and raised his hand with a sword piercing through Long’s chest.
"Cut off the Netherworld, resurrect the dead!"
The green light greatly amplified, thick life rules burst forth like tassels, enveloping Long layer by layer, forming a cocoon resembling a life seed.
Vitality surged madly, Qinghua grew frantically, the life seed rose abruptly amidst infinite spirit light, rapidly growing into a lush, vibrant Glazed Tree.
And at the center of the tree, a life aura grew increasingly strong...
Everyone around stared at the Glazed Tree closely, especially the Ice Emperor, whose deep violet eyes were full of worry and anxiety.
Soon, all the branches and leaves of the Glazed Tree glowed brilliantly like burning flames, until finally, there was only a "small snake" about three feet long, covered in yellow scales left in the field.
"This..."
Everyone was stunned, and Su Yuan was taken aback as well.
Had it not been for the four little claws on the "small snake," everyone could not imagine this was actually Long.
Seeing this, Kong Zheng laughed: "Hehe, this closet-case dragon gave his Star Core and even his blood Power to Bing Tong, the over-dismantling of the Star Core left only this little cultivation."
Long was also a bit bewildered: "Roar (helpless)...".
Long originally wanted to retain the Shining Star Level for transformation capability but unexpectedly reverted directly to Bronze Level...
The Ice Emperor sneered, waving her hand to grab the black and yellow "small snake."
"Rough-faced man, let’s see if you can still show off in front of me~"
Saying this, the Ice Emperor even extended her jade finger to flick the butt of the black and yellow small snake.
"Roar (Bingbing)!!"
Long immediately resisted with a loud roar, feeling his powerful aura torn to shreds by this demoness...
But when he thought about leaving without a word, sneaking into the Grey Realm, and making the other party wait in vain for so many years, Long’s heart was filled with nothing but guilt.
Fortunately, at this moment, Luo Bingtong extended her hand and took the little black and yellow snake into her embrace, freeing Long from the clutches.
"It truly is resurrection!"
Not far away, Zhong Li observed the scene, the gleam in his eyes bursting and calming considerably.
Being able to resurrect, such a powerful life divine artifact would undoubtedly be able to extend his lifespan!
Without Zhong Li thinking too much, Su Yuan drew the slightly dimmed Sky Blue Sword and then infused Zhong Li with vitality on the spot.
Even though the Sky Blue Sword had just performed a "complete revival," it easily helped Zhong Li cut away the traces of death qi on his body, extending his life by decades.
Zhong Li was thoroughly convinced, with no doubts remaining.
Finally, Su Yuan also used the Sky Blue Sword to repair most of the origin of the Ice Emperor.
