Truth be told, before he plunged the Godslayer into the First Born, Hao Ren had thought of all kinds of unexpected problems. After all, he was using a murderous weapon that had once been used to slay the gods to perform a craniotomy, and it was the kind of surgery where the sword plunged into the brain. It did not look like he was saving a life. It was only because the First Born was not an ordinary creature, and the Godslayer was no longer a murderous weapon that he dared to do it.
But he did not expect that Yggdrasil would stop breathing after stabbing the Godslayer.
Everyone was startled and came up to offer their help. Vivian suggested to give the brain a shot to see if it could restart. Wuyue suggested to stitch up the cortex around the brain and cast a few Rejuvenation spells. Galazur suggested to freeze the area immediately to prevent the situation from worsening. Nangong Sanba suggested that Hao Ren write a self-reflection report now so that he could apologize to Raven 12345 in a sincere manner. Lily's suggestion was the most refreshing: she suggested pinching the philtrum, but Vivian pressed her to the ground and pinched half of her face red.
"Find me one of the people who have this thing!" Vivian glared at Lily with her arms akimbo. "If you can't come up with a good idea, why don't you just sit there and watch?"
However, just when everyone was busy like a pot of porridge, a low and powerful "plop" sound suddenly came from the underground of the cave.
Then, all the tentacles of the First Born, which were in a state of suspended animation, gradually regained their vitality. The runes in the cave began to shine again, and the red light in the brain cavity turned from dark to bright again. The two connected brain nuclei trembled, and the surface quickly regained its luster. The small hole on the Heart of Darkness healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Hao Ren was overjoyed when he saw this. "Oh! It's done! "
Almost at the same time, he felt a powerful consciousness awakening from the tangled tentacles of the First Born. Everyone was in a trance, and then Yggdrasil's voice appeared in everyone's mind. "I finally see the outside world again. Hello, everyone."
"Holy sh * t, you scared me to death just now. I thought I accidentally stabbed you to death!" Hao Ren let out a long breath and couldn't help but say loudly, "Are you okay? Why was there no movement just now? "
"Just woke up and was excited," Yggdrasil replied. "Then he passed out."
Everyone: "…"
"Under normal circumstances," Yggdrasil did not seem to have the concept of awkwardness, or rather, he did not think there was anything to be embarrassed about. "I have been in a weakened state for thousands of years. It is normal that my body cannot adapt to the sudden release of stress."
"Uh, okay, I understand." Hao Ren could only nod to show that he understood. As for whether he really understood, there was no need to pursue it. "By the way, what's going on with you now? You are Yggdrasil? What about the other consciousness? "
"I am here." Almost as soon as Hao Ren's voice trailed off, a light suddenly appeared in the cave. An amorphous shadow danced in the light, and a soft voice came from the shadow.
Hao Ren was startled by the sudden appearance of the shadow. He felt that his impression of the First Born had been refreshed ever since he met Yggdrasil. "You … can still appear in this form? How did your soul escape? "
"Is it difficult?" The light danced and wandered around the cave. Tam's voice came from all directions. "When Mother designed us, she wanted us to communicate with all beings in the world. But not every creature can enter the dream, so the communication in the dream is limited. We should also have such an image that we can act in the real world."
Vivian crossed her arms and nodded. "Interesting … You are so kind. You all remember what you were born for, but I don't remember what my mother made me for."
"Ahem, let's talk about this later." Hao Ren quickly coughed twice to bring the topic back. "Yggdrasil, you … have you really recovered now? The corruption has been cleaned up? "
As he spoke, he looked at the dark brain nucleus. The severely diseased organ did not recover as expected after the Purification Stab. It was still dark, but now it looked a little more alive. The dry and withered skin was now alive, and the entire brain nucleus was beating slightly.
"I can feel it has left my body," Yggdrasil said. "It has completely disappeared, completely washed away by an external force. I believe your treatment has worked. But I am afraid there is no way for my diseased organs to return to their original state. Although some parts can be regenerated, the parts connected to the brain nucleus are not. Ah, it doesn't matter much. I can feel that they are working normally. It may look a little weird, but I have fully recovered. "
Everyone was relieved. Hao Ren nodded. "That's good, that's good …"
"But I still have a small request," Yggdrasil suddenly said. "It's just a piece of cake for you."
Hao Ren was curious. "What request?"
"… When can you put my brain back in? It's a little cold outside. "
Everyone was speechless.
Nangong Wuyue glanced at the two brain nuclei that were still outside. She suddenly felt that this topic was too f * cking heavy!
Hao Ren quickly ordered the autonomous robots to put the two brain nuclei of Yggdrasil back into the tissue cavity. After that, he used a welding torch to stitch up the cut connective tissue. Finally, Nangong Wuyue crawled around the huge organ in the center of the cave a few times, throwing healing spells until all the wounds were healed.
It could not be helped. Hao Ren had given Yggdrasil a lot of special tranquilizers. Half a ton of god-level potion could even suppress the recovery of the First Born. Yggdrasil could not heal his surgical wound, and he was still numb.
After going back and forth for another half an hour, everything finally stopped.
Yggdrasil was still very weak. In fact, he was so weak that he could hardly feel where his whole body was. The tentacles in Asgard and Vanaheim were so far away to him that they seemed to have disappeared. Thousands of years of continuous weakness had accumulated serious injuries, and no one knew how long it would take for the World Tree to fully recover.
Anyway, the source of the weakness had been completely removed. Yggdrasil's condition would not worsen, and the First Born was confirmed to be rational and communicable. Hao Ren felt that everything was going smoothly.
"I have been in a state of confusion, and I don't know a lot of things." Yggdrasil was surprised to hear that he had traveled half of the galaxy because he had no memory of it. "Most of my energy is focused on dealing with the corruption, and this guy I created … Most of his energy is focused on helping me suppress the corruption. We can only vaguely feel what is happening outside."
"Do you know Twilight Capital?"
After confirming that the 'treatment' was complete, Hao Ren finally asked the most pressing question.
He wanted to investigate Ymir's ship and ask about the deicidal war. He was interested in the runic body of Yggdrasil and the Great Absolution that Yggdrasil mentioned. But before that, he must first ensure the safety of Twilight Capital: Odin was still waiting on the iron chair.
"Ah, Twilight Capital …" Yggdrasil did know that place. "It is a miracle of life. The fact that a creature can survive in that kind of environment is amazing even to the guardians. To tell you the truth, I have to thank the city. Without it, I would not have lasted so long. "
"What do you mean?" Hao Ren was stunned.
"My mother created me to look after all living beings in the world. This is my mission," Yggdrasil's voice was calm and steady, completely different from the manic voice in the Sea of Darkness. "And the city is one of the reasons that support me. Although I can only vaguely 'see' it, I know that such a shelter still exists, and there is such a group of creatures still struggling to survive. I feel that I can't give up, because once I am completely contaminated, this last bit of life will be cut off. Sometimes when I can't hold on anymore, I dream. In the dream, I can vaguely hear the creatures in Twilight Capital talking. I can also hear a man named Odin thinking. He seems to be trapped in a chair, in order to protect something, he is holding on like me. I feel that since he can hold on, I should be able to as well. So I have held on for so many years. Otherwise, I would have completely fallen. "
Nangong Sanba was surprised. "Don't you know that the ecosystem of Asgard is still alive?"
There was a hint of helplessness in Yggdrasil's voice. "Long before the melee known as the Twilight of the Gods, my disease had deteriorated to the distal limbs. I could not feel the existence of Asgard at all. If you did not tell me, I would have thought that Asgard and Vanaheim had been blown up."
