Chapter 157 A Stupid Way and a Shortcut
Using mental power to search for Qiqi's missing soul in the earth veins is almost like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Even if the net used to retrieve the needle is large enough, it would be extremely difficult to catch it.
Without a doubt, this is a stupid approach.
Stupid methods should only be used when there is no other way.
Fortunately, in addition to this stupid method, Gu Chen also has a shortcut that is theoretically feasible.
This shortcut is... the World Tree.
As an existence similar to the terminal of the continent of Teyvat, the World Tree is the main body of the leyline. It also stores all the information on the continent of Teyvat and can perform certain operations on this information.
So, is it possible to extract certain information using this terminal?
To put it simply, it is to use the World Tree to find Qiqi's incomplete soul, pull the soul out, and finally complete it into Qiqi's body.
It feels like... I can do it.
In theory, there is nothing wrong with it.
However, all this was just Gu Chen's assumption.
When it comes to specific operations, whether it can be implemented smoothly remains unknown.
The first point is how to gain control of the World Tree.
Even if you can get it temporarily, it’s fine.
Then, how to use the World Tree to search for Qiqi's soul?
Finally, can the soul of a dead person like Qiqi be found using the World Tree, and can it be extracted after being found?
Gu Chen was not particularly worried about the first two points.
The most worrying thing is the latter point.
If the dead souls can be taken out of the World Tree at will, why didn't the Great Compassionate Tree King do so before?
Or did she do it, but secretly?
If it is done secretly, it means that this thing is not allowed and there will definitely be obstacles.
Maybe it's some inexplicable law of the world, but in any case, this matter is definitely not that easy.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen realized that this so-called shortcut was not so shortcut after all.
Ugh……
There are more regrets than just Qiqi that I need to make up for.
Other regrets also need to be made up for. Many people who are completely dead need to be resurrected, and getting their souls is even more difficult!
Don't be too ambitious, think about what to do first?
At least, after arriving in Sumeru, I must maintain good relations with Nashida and the Great Compassionate Tree King.
Otherwise, why would others let you use the World Tree?
Thinking about these messy things, Gu Chen felt his thoughts were in a mess.
Looking at the earth veins below the valley, he suddenly felt an urge.
Or try the stupid method first?
After all, the so-called shortcut cannot be tried in the short term. I have to wait until I go to Xumi to try it.
Let’s try the stupid method first.
Maybe God will take pity on Qiqi, and he will be able to find Qiqi's broken soul during his first search in the earth veins.
With this inexplicable extravagant hope, Gu Chen's huge colorless and invisible mental power surged out, and all the mental power went into the ground.
Don’t doubt whether Gu Chen has great mental power, because he has extremely powerful Ultraman Telekinesis.
The so-called telekinesis is actually a form of manifestation of mental power.
Since his telekinesis is so strong, his mental strength is naturally not too bad.
It is not difficult for Gu Chen to release the huge mental power into the underground and conduct a detailed regional search along the earth veins.
So, he closed his eyes and searched silently over a large area.
In the eyes of Paimeng, Baizhu and Hutao who were standing next to him, Gu Chen was thinking seriously and must not be disturbed.
Then, the three of them looked at each other tacitly and fell silent.
The group was silent for about ten minutes.
Ten minutes later, Gu Chen suddenly opened his eyes.
Seeing Gu Chen's reaction, Paimeng asked expectantly:
"Gu Chen, have you thought of a way to complete Qiqi's soul?"
He looked at Paimeng in confusion, then at Baizhu and Hutao who were also expectant, and Gu Chen understood that they must have misunderstood something.
Pursing his lips speechlessly, Gu Chen explained:
"I just closed my eyes to rest, not to think of a solution, but to...
I will use my immense mental power to search for Qiqi's soul within the veins of the earth beneath our feet."
When they heard that Gu Chen, who had just been doing this calmly, was actually doing this, the three of them were shocked!
Bai Zhu immediately asked:
"did you find it?"
Gu Chen's face darkened:
"Do I look like I've found it?"
Bai Zhu was suddenly speechless, Hu Tao shook his head helplessly, and Paimon was also speechless.
After a bitter laugh, Paimeng had to smooth things over:
"Haha, that...it's still difficult after all."
Covering his forehead, Gu Chen looked a little distressed:
"It's extremely difficult! It's like looking for a needle in a haystack!
As expected, God didn't show any special favor to Qiqi and me, and things are still as troublesome as before."
Changsheng, who had been silent since a while ago, finally couldn't help himself at this moment:
"Then what should we do next?"
Gu Chen looked at Qi Qi in the distance, his expression somewhat profound:
"Maintain the status quo for now."
"Maintain the status quo?"
"Yes.
After all, Qiqi's physical condition has improved, and her memory and soul... have not deteriorated.
Now Qiqi no longer needs to do stretching gymnastics every day.
At worst, I can change the soft gymnastics into memory enhancement training in the future.
I don't believe that Qiqi's memory won't improve at all after training day after day.
Let Qiqi be like this for now, I will continue to think of a solution.
Solutions are all invented by people, and there will always be a way out when the car reaches the mountain. I firmly believe this!"
Seeing Gu Chen's serious and determined look, everyone else was infected.
Suddenly, everyone changed their minds tacitly and wondered why they were so bitter and resentful.
Qiqi's health has improved and is much better than before. We should be happy!
So, everyone began to adjust their mindset.
In fact, here, Gu Chen did not tell everyone about the method of the World Tree.
The main reason is that Gu Chen is not sure if he can do it absolutely.
Rather than giving everyone hope and then potentially being disappointed, it is better to hide this method from the beginning.
If this solution cannot be achieved in the future, no one will know about it from the beginning, so there will be no disappointment.
If this method can be achieved in the future, it will be a big surprise for everyone!
This is Gu Chen’s thought and attitude.
Just as everyone was adjusting their mindsets and watching Qiqi having fun everywhere, Ye Lan came out from the entrance to the underground palace at the back.
When she came out, she was holding a stack of imitation talismans with no taboos in her hand.
In the underground palace, Ye Lan found a lot of decisive evidence.
However, among all these evidences, she had some doubts about this stack of talismans without any taboos, so she hurried out to ask Gu Chen who might know something.
But Ye Lan didn't expect that when she came out, the group of people outside were... watching the child?
This kid... is having fun everywhere.
Huh? Wait! Isn't this the little zombie from Bubulu?
Her physical condition...how come she looks just like a living person?
