The Azure Bull Python nodded firmly.
……
The surrounding scenery changed instantly.
When they came to their senses, Lin Chuan and the other two were back in the plane where the Temple of Life was located, and a strange sense of familiarity suddenly welled up in their hearts.
"Lingling, this must be your fourth exam, right?"
The girl nodded slowly. "That's right. My fourth test is to fill the dimensional hole and purify the withered forest, so that the entire Forest of Life can be revitalized."
"They really have a lot of demands, but it's not entirely unexpected."
The content of Lin Chuan's third test remains unchanged: to assist the successor of life in completing the test.
"Xiao Wu, what about you?" Lin Chuan asked again.
"I am going to Storm Canyon to temper my body. I have to carry something called 'sinking wood' into Storm Canyon and endure it for four hours without being blown out, for a year."
Xiao Wu explained the content of her assessment in detail, but didn't take it too seriously.
"That means you have to stay inside for a total of 1,460 hours, otherwise you'll fail the test. That's not easy, so good luck!"
The three of them immediately chose to separate.
Xiao Wu went to Storm Canyon alone, while Lin Chuan and Ye Lingling stayed in the Forest of Life to purify the areas affected by the dark purple aura.
With the power of life at your fingertips, it's not difficult to revitalize a forest.
Because the area was so vast, Lin Chuan also joined in the purification process.
[You used the mysteries of life to purify nature, and gained some insights, deepening your understanding of the power of life.]
During this process, Lin Chuan's understanding of the mysteries of life is also steadily improving. This test is probably similar to the third test, which is also used to improve the inheritor's mastery and application of life energy.
His involvement, however, did not interfere with Ye Lingling; on the contrary, it accelerated her progress.
When the girl encountered a bottleneck, Lin Chuan provided guidance, which led to her rapid progress in understanding and comprehension of life energy.
As life expanded, the forest gradually began to radiate vitality.
New shoots kept growing, and even the withered trees that had completely died were revived by the power of life and became lush and leafy again.
"Swish—"
As the branches swayed, streaks of emerald green light slowly filtered down.
"Hmm?!" Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow, clearly feeling the life force in the world becoming more active. On the other hand, Ye Lingling absorbed the light points, and the life aura around her became more and more intense.
"Brother Chuan, my soul power is increasing, and my life energy is also increasing!"
Sensing the changes within her body, Ye Lingling couldn't help but show a look of surprise and delight.
"So there are hidden perks like this? But why don't I have them?"
Lin Chuan muttered a complaint softly, his heart filled with doubt.
……
Spirit world.
"What a greedy little fellow. You've already gotten such a great deal and you're still not satisfied. But this time, you won't get any, and besides, you don't need it."
The goddess of life smiled gently and murmured to herself.
She witnessed everything that happened outside the temple, and Lin Chuan's changes shocked her greatly; this human was even more outstanding than she had imagined.
If other gods were to find out, they would likely covet it, and it would even be snatched up in a frenzy.
"It's a pity that Xiao Zi is not willing to pass on her divine position for the time being, otherwise this little guy would undoubtedly be the most suitable candidate. It's such a shame!"
The goddess of life sighed softly, shook her head slightly, and said nothing more.
Although she could roughly guess what the God of Destruction was thinking, she didn't intend to persuade him. As each other's partners, all she could do was silently accompany him.
Two months have passed quietly.
Ye Lingling breathed a sigh of relief when the last piece of land came back to life.
Looking at the lush greenery around her, a genuine smile appeared on the girl's face. Although this period of time had been tough, it had all been worth it.
Putting aside the fact that his soul power has increased by two levels, his understanding and mastery of life energy alone is something he couldn't have achieved two months ago.
"Then this is the only opening left!"
Lin Chuan and Ye Lingling stood at the edge of the cave, which led to an unknown destination, and looked down.
The cave, which had been purified before, has now been restored, with wisps of eerie light emanating from it and thick blackish-purple fog drifting out from time to time.
It seems that simply relying on the power of life to purify is only a temporary solution.
"Brother Chuan, what should we do now?" Ye Lingling asked softly.
"Let's figure out a way to fix this, but what should we use to fill it?"
Lin Chuan stroked his chin, lost in thought for a moment.
Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck me.
"I have an idea!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Chuan flipped his hand and made a grasping motion, and a white stone appeared in his palm.
"This is... the core of a fallen being!"
“That’s right. Although we don’t know exactly what this thing is made of, it’s perfect for filling dimensional portals. We can’t possibly use stones from the Temple of Life, can we?”
Given the current situation, there is nothing more suitable than this.
"Rumble--"
Just then, a thunderclap suddenly resounded in the sky.
Lin Chuan chuckled sheepishly and quickly explained, "It was a slip of the tongue, just a joke. How could I possibly do something so outrageous?"
After a while, nothing happened, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Turning around, Lin Chuan saw Ye Lingling secretly laughing, and immediately reached out to ruffle the girl's hair.
"Stop laughing, let's get down to business!"
"Brother Chuan, what if these cores get corrupted again and turn into fallen beings once more?" Ye Lingling suppressed her smile and softly voiced her concerns.
"This is a problem..."
Lin Chuan nodded in agreement.
Hold the core firmly in your hand and infuse it with the power of life.
Suddenly, the previously unremarkable white core glowed with a bright green halo, and a rich life energy was gathering within it.
Moreover, Lin Chuan clearly sensed that the emerald green core before him was absorbing life energy from nature to replenish itself.
Lin Chuan squatted down and tried to place the milky white core in his hand above the dimensional passage. The black-purple beam that was originally shooting out seemed to be obstructed and dimmed slightly to the naked eye.
On the other side, the emerald green aura had also faded considerably, but it was quickly replenished again.
"If that's really the case, then what exactly is this core thing?"
This thing is very fragile, but it's special enough.
However, one is obviously not enough. Fortunately, when the corrupted beings were purified, all the cores were collected, and now they are more than enough to fill the dimensional portal.
"Lingling, let's begin now!"
Lin Chuan waved his hand lightly, and countless white cores instantly appeared on the ground.
The two of them, one in each hand, poured their life energy into it. Soon, the surroundings were filled with rich life energy, the dimensional portal was completely suppressed, and the black-purple beam of light had disappeared without a trace.
After several hours of work, all the core components have been converted.
However, even the largest core was not enough to block the passage.
Lin Chuan opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of golden flame earth fire, which enveloped the core that had fallen from the large fleshy ball. He then threw the remaining smaller cores into the fire.
The mental power controlled the flames to scorch all the cores, melting them together without completely destroying them.
Soon, a core about the same size as the dimensional portal appeared.
Lin Chuan slowly placed it into the dimensional passage, then turned to look at Ye Lingling.
"Lingling, give it a try. Join me in using your life force to activate this core."
The girl nodded gently and placed her soft hand in Lin Chuan's palm.
A ball of emerald green light drifted slowly and, under the control of the two, landed on the emerald green core.
Lin Chuan suddenly took out a seed and threw it above the core. Under the catalysis of the life force, the seed instantly merged into the core and then sprouted at an extremely fast speed, growing into a towering tree.
The emerald green core was enveloped by the tree trunk, and the tree roots were firmly embedded in the ground, blocking the dimensional portal.
"That should work!"
As soon as Lin Chuan finished speaking, two beams of light emerged from between their brows.
