Su Tingyun tries to bring Elder Yan into the ring, but it simply cannot be done. The surroundings fill up with muffled sobs. Elder Yan's eyes are open, staring into empty space. He wants to speak, and he’s struggling to utter words, but blood keeps gushing out of his mouth, staining his entire chin red.
Su Tingyun feels very sad, and her emotions infect Big Bai as well.
Little Bai is also deeply saddened. Speaking of which, Little Bai has spent more time with them. Elder Yan is a serious person who rarely smiles and often stands with his hands behind his back, and a stern expression on his face. However, he's the only one who patrols around the Obliteration Sword Island early in the morning before dawn, every day, and would water Little Bai and loosen the soil of this orchid tongue grass.
Everyone’s hearts are breaking, and Big Bai quietly crouches on the side, watching. Her body is round, and the small white leaves on her head are shining brightly, as if emitting light.
Suddenly, Su Tingyun hears Big Bai speak, "Granny, you don’t want him to die, do you?"
"Of course not!" Su Tingyun nods empathically. She’s also channeling spiritual energy into Elder Yan. Seeing Elder Yan's eyes glaring angrily at the sky, her hands tremble.
She thinks back of the golden-eyed Dragon on the snow, whose eyes did not close when it died. (That Elder Yan will also die with a grievance)
Just then, the sky suddenly turns overcast, as if someone has covered it with a thick black blanket. The color is so gloomy that it seems like it’s about to drip water.
Big Bai's body grows larger, and Little Bai on her head also becomes bigger and rounder. The two leaves open and close, and they both say, "Granny, he shall not die."
A thunderbolt strikes down from the sky, splitting the gloomy heavens in half, as if an astonishingly powerful sword cultivator is slashing through the Heavenly Dao.
Elder Yan abruptly sits up, his eyes wide, and he angrily shouts, "Bastard disciple, come back here!" The commotion is so great that it startles everyone around, and they think it’s a dying gasp.
Immediately afterwards, Elder Yan's body lays flat, and Xiao Budian, Wuyou, and Wulu burst into tears. However, Su Tingyun exclaims in joyful surprise, "He- he's not dissipating."
Although his primordial spirit is still weak, at this moment, she can actually sense a complete spiritual essence. It’s as if an invisible force is contending with the Heavenly Dao, reclaiming the dispersed person from the air.
Zhan Yu also shouts in amazement, "Although he is very weak, the bleeding has stopped!"
Yan Yuqing's sword had pierced straight into Elder Yan's heart, shattering his internal organs. But at this moment, Zhan Yu feels vitality emerging within him, as if life has surged into him, nourishing his internal organs.
"Quick, put a Rejuvenation Pill in his mouth!" Everyone scrambles to save him. Although they don't understand why such a miracle has occurred, as long as he’s alive, that’s what matters.
Just then, Su Tingyun hears a faint voice in her sea of consciousness, "Granny, I'm so tired." She turns around and sees that Big Bai's body has shrunk like a deflated balloon. It isn’t a normal shrinking; her whole body had shriveled, leaving behind a large piece of skin with countless fine cracks. This is an unprecedented anomaly.
She remembers the voices she just heard.
""Granny, he shall not die.""
Big Bai is a Word Spirit.
It can determine the fate of the world with a single word. Su Tingyun didn't take it seriously when she heard about it before. Eventually, Big Bai became capable of speech, and the Big Bai-Little Bai combo could talk all day long, so how could those words possibly determine the fate of Heaven and Earth? Now she realizes that it truly possesses such power, almost capable of resurrecting the dead.
When they said that Elder Yan wouldn't die, he truly began to regain vitality.
However, the cost is also immense. Su Tingyun has never seen Big Bai like this before. She carefully lifts Big Bai and continuously uses the Spring Wind and Rain Art. She urges her to chew the branches of the Kunlun Divine Tree, patting her back, and praying for a speedy recovery.
"Granny, I'm fine," Big Bai's voice is small, "But I won't be able to use my Words for a very long time." she says in grievance.
Word Spirit Beasts don’t experience death. They are similar to the Phoenixes that undergo rebirth through the baptism of fire. Therefore, even though it’s newly born and without memories, when using Word Spirit Arts, she still remembers fragments of the past.
Each time is painful, with long intervals in between. But this time, it seems that she willingly endured, as if this isn’t as difficult to bear as before.
"Thank you," Su Tingyun holds Big Bai, and her tears fall onto it, seeping into the cracks on her body, making Big Bai feel the saltiness of the tears.
"Granny, don't cry, it hurts!"
Su Tingyun's tears fall even faster, clearly misunderstanding the situation. It’s Little Bai who explains it to her, making Su Tingyun hastily wipe away her tears, afraid to let them fall on Big Bai again.
And at that moment, the Sect Master and Zhan Yu are the first to react. They also heard that voice before. Now, seeing Big Bai transform from a chubby white ball into a wrinkled cloth bag, they have a sudden realization.
Elder Yan could survive all thanks to Big Bai's sacrifice. Although they don’t fully understand, Zhan Yu chokes with emotion and says, "Thank you, Big Bai."
The Sect Master also echoes the sentiment.
The rest of the Obliteration Sword Tower members are puzzled, but everyone expresses their gratitude to Big Bai. At this moment, nobody remembers Yan Yuqing. Everyone is thanking Big Bai.
"Thank you."
Even the cracks on Big Bai's skin seem to turn pink. She happily chirps, "Chirp chirp chirp!"
It wants to say "no need to thank me," all by itself, without Little Bai's help.
Little Bai relays, "She says, 'no need to thank me.'"
Big Bai's body deflates, unable to even mimic an angry appearance. It chirps angrily, "Chirp!"
"Hmph, she says." Little Bai adds.
