“You two should quiet down. Little Mingxi is currently in an externalized mental power state. Given her talent, the soundproofing here might not be very effective, so if you're too noisy, it could affect her.”

He Ningqi couldn't stand it anymore, glaring at the two old men with exasperation and helplessness.

The two immediately became as quiet as chickens.

It wasn't because they feared He Ningqi; it was mainly because they were worried about affecting Mingxi.

Next, no one spoke again.

They nervously watched the situation inside the workshop for 3 hours, 4 hours...

From 9 AM to 2 PM...

Mingxi's face went from radiant with health to as pale as paper.

For over five full hours, her mental power was continuously consumed. At this point, even Li Yuan wouldn't dare claim he could maintain such a level of mental power externalization.

Li Yuan and He Ningqi, both god-level powerhouses, couldn't do it!

“This little child is going against the heavens!”

The two old men, who felt utterly outclassed, silently wailed.

At this moment.

“Buzz——”

As Mingxi successfully drew the final stroke, the workbench in front of her suddenly erupted with a faint glow.

Everyone in the observation room immediately tensed up, not daring to blink.

“Chiyu, prepare to fuse the auxiliary energy core.”

“Emerald Green, four times concentrated fusion agent. Once the auxiliary energy core is successfully fused, be ready to inject the Exploding Yang Potion at any time.”

Mingxi's hands did not leave the Sawhorn Cockroach's body, continuously and steadily outputting mental power.

“Ye He.”

“Jin.”

Chiyu's claw tip lit up, controlling the energy core that flowed with Star Drawing, placing it into the Sawhorn Cockroach's body according to the previously preset position.

The ice-crystal-like fusion liquid enveloped the energy core.

It entered through the passage they had prepared in advance.

The [N O V E L I G H T] reason for creating an artificial energy core specifically for the Sawhorn Cockroach was to be prepared for any eventuality.

Because the Sawhorn Cockroach had already died, its body's metabolism had stopped for several days.

To quickly awaken its bodily functions after the Feng Hun Jing Po (Soul Sealing Essence) fusion, Mingxi decided to install an auxiliary energy core for the Sawhorn Cockroach.

This was equivalent to installing a pacemaker in a heart.

And the fusion liquid not only had the effect of clearing and protecting, but also to better integrate the energy core with the Sawhorn Cockroach's body, preventing rejection reactions.

However, the process of fixing and fusing the energy core also required Mingxi's control.

Her mental power, like an invisible drawing brush, probed into the remaining body.

Instantly, the fragments of will remaining within the Sawhorn Cockroach's body, like billions of poisoned needles, fiercely stabbed into her mental sea along the threads of mental power!

That wasn't a complete consciousness, but the extreme violence, destructive desire, and fear of death remaining from the moment of death!

Mingxi's body trembled violently, her face instantly turned ashen, and the veins on her temples bulged like gnarled poisonous vines.

“What's happening?!”

Everyone also noticed Mingxi's abnormality.

Li Yuan and He Ningqi immediately realized the problem.

They both said in unison: “It's the residual death will!”

How could they have forgotten such an important matter?

Almost every deceased Transcendent creature's body would have residual death will. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

The more painful the death, the deeper the attachment to the world, the more residual death will there would be.

“Should we stop her? Her mental power was severely depleted before, if she's hit by the death will again, will she...”

He Ningqi was full of worry.

Li Yuan didn't speak, his expression grim.

“We must stop her! I'll go!”

Zhou Wu said as he was about to rush into the workshop, but Li Yuan forcibly pulled him back.

His icy gaze pinned him to the spot, “Trust her!”

Mingxi bit down hard, a metallic, rusty smell of blood overflowing from between her teeth, from the countercurrent she forcibly swallowed.

“Master.”

“Ye He.”

Guangguang and Chiyu watched her nervously.

Emerald Green had already activated Life Sharing, helping Mingxi share the pain.

Mingxi's mental power arduously traversed, collided, captured, and wore down amidst the violent Impact of will.

It was as if countless small universes were exploding and collapsing.

Mingxi knew that if she continued, she might fail at the last moment.

These death wills were also a threat to the Sawhorn Cockroach's revival.

The dark green poisonous patterns on Mingxi's forehead subtly flickered, seemingly showing signs of spreading again.

Even Emerald Green watched in fear!

If the cursed poison were induced at this moment, the result of this attempt would inevitably be failure.

Just as she thought this.

“Boom——”

Mingxi's mental power suddenly erupted.

The next second, her body changed.

You Wiong (Boundless Roaming/Infinite Travel) was actually activated under these circumstances.

Everyone watched wide-eyed as Mingxi transformed.

Chu Fengfeng was dumbfounded: “This is... a special physique?”

No one could answer him.

Mingxi also didn't expect to activate You Wiong (Boundless Roaming/Infinite Travel) under these circumstances.

She didn't care to admire her long legs, pushing a large amount of her re-energized mental power into the Sawhorn Cockroach's body.

The death will dissipated in large swathes.

The energy core rapidly advanced, finally reaching the preset position.

“Exploding Yang Potion.”

“Jin.”

Emerald Green's claw tip grew a thin leaf tube, and its needle-like tip pierced into the Sawhorn Cockroach's body like a butterfly flitting among flowers, precisely injecting the Exploding Yang Potion.

At the same time, its Life Leaf fell onto the Sawhorn Cockroach.

Finally, the Feng Hun Jing Po (Soul Sealing Essence) was taken out by Mingxi and slammed into the Sawhorn Cockroach's forehead.

From then on, the Sawhorn Cockroach could only be revived as a flesh-and-blood pet beast.

There was no longer any possibility of it becoming a spirit-essence tool.

It was either success or death.

Mingxi's mental power surged out completely, as if transforming into an invisible soul carving knife, simultaneously driving the tiger to devour the wolf and awakening the auxiliary energy core.

It would then drive the Sawhorn Cockroach's heart to resume activity.

“Buzz——!”

The golden patterns on the Sawhorn Cockroach's body suddenly lit up.

Lines of patterns flashed, integrating into the Sawhorn Cockroach's body.

Buzz——!!

The Sawhorn Cockroach's body violently vibrated as the Drawing Spirit patterns rapidly integrated.

Its body erupted with dazzling light.

A violent energy current instantly swept through the entire workshop.

Even the explosion-proof glass vibrated intensely.

Various instruments in the observation room flickered wildly with garbled data.

Mingxi was also forced back two steps by the turbulent flow, protected behind Chiyu.

Her You Wiong (Boundless Roaming/Infinite Travel) state had already been deactivated, and she had returned to her small potato appearance. At this moment, blood was overflowing from the corner of her mouth, her vision was intermittently black, her mental power was almost exhausted, and her mental sea was like it had been ravaged by a storm.

The entire process had consumed far more than she had imagined.

That's why it's said that the domain of life and death is the most untouchable taboo!

“Now, you can only rely on yourself!” She looked at the Sawhorn Cockroach, which was entangled by two auras: vitality and death.

They had done everything they could.

But the most crucial part, awakening, could only be done by the Sawhorn Cockroach itself.

“Boom——Boom——”

One layer of light ring after another spread out.

Under the guidance of the rule text, the energy core operated frantically, and the Exploding Yang Potion vigorously catalyzed.

But the Sawhorn Cockroach's life aura was still weaker than the light of a firefly.

“...Did it fail?”
