However, they wouldn’t do this without a good reason, and in this case, there was a clear necessity.
“No problem, I agree to this,” Su Yang nodded in agreement.
Originally, Su Yang intended to take Doctor Liu to the location of the dry well and directly break the seal inside it.
But Doctor Liu continued, “To break that seal, I need you to get me some tiger tongue-tip blood.”
“To use for creating something to break the seal.”
Su Yang suddenly realized that the tiger’s carcass served a purpose here, explaining the entangled causality lines.
However, the tiger had been dead for quite a while, lying in the courtyard. Would there still be any tongue-tip blood left?
Su Yang thought it was unlikely.
Under normal circumstances, they would need to restart the cycle to solve this problem, which was one of the reasons why every closed world was so challenging to breach.
Collecting information was one thing, but knowing what to do at each specific time was another matter. If they missed a particular event or task at a certain point in time, it could affect subsequent events, potentially wasting valuable opportunities.
The next chance would only come when the closed world reset.
This feeling was uncomfortable, but luckily, Su Yang was present this time, and they could simply proceed directly without any hassle.
Why go through all these troubles to break a seal?
After hearing Doctor Liu’s words, Cao Tianle and the others secretly thought it was unfortunate. They needed tiger tongue-tip blood, but since the tiger had long been dead, there was no way to obtain it.
However, they suddenly remembered that when Su Yang came up from the well earlier, he mentioned something about being able to break the seal?
Cao Tianle and the others looked at Su Yang, and at that moment, Su Yang spoke up.
“Doctor Liu, this matter doesn’t have to be so complicated. Just come with us, and I can break the seal at the bottom of the well.’
Doctor Liu’s eyes brightened. “You’ve already seen the seal at the bottom of the well?”
“Yes,” Su Yang responded.
With this confirmation, Doctor Liu had a good idea of the situation.
“Alright, let’s go!” As long as they could help fulfill Doctor Liu’s wish, Su Yang didn’t mind the method.
There was no need for him to help unless necessary.
Since they were just in the village, they quickly returned to the dry well’s location.
After arriving at the spot, Su Yang went down first, followed closely by Doctor Liu. The others remained above because the well was quite small and could only accommodate two people at a time.
After descending into the well, Su Yang started attacking the seal with sword techniques. The Thunderous Sword Technique, although only at the first level, was powerful enough to handle the current situation.
In the face of the infinite Thunderous Sword Techniques, the limited power of the seal was gradually overwhelmed.
After a brief struggle, the seal’s array formation shattered. In that instant, a chilling aura filled the entire well’s bottom, rushed up through the well, and gave those around the well a bone-chilling feeling.
Beneath the well, after the seal broke, an ethereal soul slowly condensed. Although her form was faint and surrounded by faint traces of black energy, it was clear that she was a woman, presumably Doctor Liu’s daughter.
“Yatou…” Upon seeing this ethereal soul, Doctor Liu was overwhelmed with emotion. Su Yang could clearly see that Doctor Liu’s body was trembling.
The ethereal soul slowly raised her head. Her eyes occasionally showed confusion and occasionally a hint of awareness. Finally, it seemed like she remembered something, and a single word slowly escaped her lips.
“Dad…”
“Yatou!” Doctor Liu couldn’t contain himself anymore and rushed forward, trying to embrace the ethereal soul in his arms.
But after he rushed forward, his body passed directly through the ethereal soul.
There was no physical contact whatsoever.
“Dad… I am now in a soul state. You can’t touch me…” Doctor Liu’s voice seemed to come from far away.
“This…” Doctor Liu watched this scene in silence, his heart heavy with mixed emotions.
He raised his hand, even though he knew he couldn’t touch the ethereal soul. His hand remained suspended in the air near the ethereal soul’s face.
At this moment, Doctor Liu had many words he wanted to say, but he couldn’t say anything.
Su Yang shook his head from the side. He couldn’t stand to see such regret, even though he knew that this world was just a closed loop created by an evil god.
In a single thought, a special sword intent enveloped Doctor Liu.
[Soul Sword Intent]
“If Doctor Liu wants to embrace her, then go ahead. You can touch the soul now.”
Su Yang said this, got up, and left the bottom of the well, leaving this place to Doctor Liu.
Seeing Su Yang come up from the well, Cao Tianle asked, “How is it? What’s happening down there?”
“No problems, this matter will be completed shortly. Let’s wait for Doctor Liu to come up later..”
