Li Chen finally achieved the Ninth Order Soul Realm after two centuries of cultivation, enabling him to begin the resurrection ritual. As he started, the Senior Nether River appeared, revealing he was there to deliver souls to Li Chen. He brought three souls, which turned out to be Lilith, Cherie, and Patricia. Nether River explained that due to his return, reincarnation in the Heaven Realm would resume, and these souls had remained in his river, awaiting reincarnation. After Nether River departed, Li Chen proceeded with the resurrection, successfully reviving the three women.

Li Chen nervously watched as the three people gradually woke up, his eyes showing a hint of hesitation, as he tried hard to recall the procedures for resurrection.

"No mistakes. So, I truly have... succeeded."

At this moment, the three gradually awakened, somewhat bewilderedly opening their eyes and just in time, they saw Li Chen dressed entirely in black in the distance.

"Brother Li Chen?"

"Brother Cheen?"

"Li Chen?"

The three different titles signified that the three had indeed been resurrected.

Li Chen’s eyes showed a look of excitement.

He walked over with big strides and embraced the three in his arms.

"Welcome back to the world of the living!"

"This is..." Lilith looked at her hands, with a puzzled expression in her eyes: "Brother Li Chen, I remember clearly I activated the self-destruct device in the base, but how... huh, my body seems different?"

Patricia was also a bit confused: "If I remember correctly, I should have died too, but why is it..."

Cherie pursed her lips, enjoying the moment of being hugged by Li Chen, but she said nothing.

To her, savoring this moment, as long as Li Chen was by her side, was enough. This was the greatest gift from heaven for her.

"I resurrected you." After a long while, Li Chen finally released the three and said softly.

"Resurrected?" Among the three, only Patricia was truly an entry-level cultivator, and she couldn’t help but look at Li Chen with doubt: "Is resurrection really possible? Though there were some legends, I’ve never heard of anyone actually achieving it..."

Before she could finish speaking, Patricia suddenly went weak all over and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Li Chen quickly supported her.

"Don’t say anything more, go and rest for a while." Li Chen said gently.

At the Red Dust Heavenly Palace, Li Chen found a secluded side hall for the three women to rest. Zhang Lu and Zhang Shutong stood outside the door as if deep in thought.

"Why do I feel so weak? It seemed like something that just happened, but upon waking, it feels like a long time has passed." Patricia asked.

"Don’t worry, I’ll explain it to you when there’s an opportunity." Li Chen smiled: "Although it may seem to you that death wasn’t long ago, it has been over two hundred years since your resurrection now."

"Two hundred years!" Lilith was so startled that she couldn’t help covering her mouth: "Brother Li Chen, can a person really live that long? But why do you seem unchanged..."

"Two hundred years might be an unattainable time for mortals, but for cultivators, two hundred years is not very long." Li Chen smiled and did not explain what he had gone through over those two hundred years.

For him, as long as the resurrection was successful, he was satisfied.

"Then, Brother Cheen, can I become a cultivator like you in the future?" Cherie couldn’t help but ask.

Hearing Li Chen’s words, she was a little afraid, afraid that her lifespan would be too short. Even though Li Chen didn’t say it, she knew that the resurrection couldn’t have been easy. She feared she wouldn’t be able to accompany him long after he went through so much to bring her back.

"Don’t worry, you all can." Li Chen nodded with a smile and then looked at Patricia: "It’s just that your bodies have just been remade, and adapting to them will take some time. Once you’ve adapted, you can start cultivating again."

Patricia nodded: "All my cultivation is gone."

Back then, Patricia was an Earth Level, and not a weak one at that. But now upon resurrection, she had no cultivation at all, as fragile as a newborn.

"You should rest first, there are many attendants here, just ask outside if you need anything. Make sure you do not starve yourselves. Only by quickly strengthening your bodies can you begin training sooner." Li Chen smiled: "It was hard enough to resurrect you. I wouldn’t want you dying because your cultivation is too low."

Even though Li Chen was joking, the three women silently took it to heart.

Meanwhile, from Li Chen’s words, they understood that this is a new world, a world belonging to cultivators.

Although they didn’t know Li Chen’s current status and position, it was apparent Li Chen highly valued them. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to bring them back. They couldn’t let him down.

"Brother Li Chen, don’t worry, Lilith knows." Lilith waved to Li Chen with a smile, still as he remembered her — pure without a trace of impurity.

This body was also reshaped according to Li Chen’s memories, just like she used to be — a truly pure-hearted girl.

After instructing the palace attendants, Li Chen walked away.

Since the Red Dust Heavenly Palace was established, many people actively joined, without even needing Li Chen to recruit. Countless people from Tianyu City voluntarily applied, and many cultivators from other places in the Borderland Realm as well.

Li Chen was aware of these people’s thoughts. They merely hoped for a stable resource job and, occasionally, guidance from him.

Li Chen didn’t hold back on this, frequently offering guidance to members of the Red Dust Heavenly Palace who approached him with questions.

Originally, Li Chen wanted to spend more time talking with the three women, but it was obvious that their bodies were still very weak after their resurrection and needed rest more than anything. So, Li Chen did not disturb them.

Just after stepping out, Li Chen saw Zhang Lu and Zhang Shutong standing outside.

"Do you have any thoughts?" Li Chen asked as he walked with them toward the outside of the hall.

Zhang Lu furrowed his brow, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke: "Are you showing me this to tell me that even those who have died have a chance to come back?"

In Zhang Lu’s heart, there was always someone.

It was precisely because of that person’s death that he went mad during that time, transforming into the Asura Blood Emperor, blood-washing the Heaven Realm. This was also the main reason Zhang Lu never gave up, even if he had to cling to his last breath to escape the Heaven Realm for revenge.

"Originally, that was what I thought." Li Chen nodded, then shook his head: "But after meeting with Predecessor of the Nether River, I’m not so sure."

Zhang Lu’s expression turned a bit somber. His situation was different from Li Chen’s. The woman who died for his sake had passed on during the Ancient Era. So many years have passed, and nobody knows whether her soul has been scattered or if she has reincarnated again.

At that moment, the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk on Li Chen’s body gently vibrated.

Li Chen’s expression shifted slightly: "Just now, Predecessor of the Nether River sent me a message. He said that the one you’re seeking has long been reincarnated and has not had her soul scattered."

"Really?!" Zhang Lu’s breathing suddenly became a bit rapid.
