While Ding Yun was crouching low, slowly developing her influence, many of her peers who had directly entered the core regions of the Wizard Universe Sea had already been either too ostentatious or possessed enough background to directly revive and enslave them, even creating numerous high-level deities and establishing divine courts. These actions led to wars with the Wizard Civilization.
The conflicts were壮烈 (magnificent) and轰动 (sensational), with heavy casualties, creating a war that shook the heavens and moved the spirits.
The radiation range of their wars had long since expanded beyond a single world or galaxy.
It now encompassed more than half of the universe.
Especially in developed civilized areas.
Some Wizard factions within connected universes, located relatively close to each other, had begun to communicate and cooperate, jointly eradicating the gods.
However, all of this was of no consequence to Ding Yun.
This was because even in the remote starfields within some universes in the central region of the Wizard Universe Sea, the impact was minimal, let alone for Ding Yun, who was situated in the marginal regions of the Wizard Universe Sea, in the peripheral starfields of her universe.
To put it bluntly, if the Universe Sea were analogous to a country, Ding Yun's current location was more remote than the mountainous regions where villagers resided.
Even if wars were raging in the central regions of some universes within the Wizard Universe Sea, even if that central region's universe were to explode and be utterly destroyed, it would not necessarily reach Ding Yun.
Therefore, being remote had its advantages. At least in the early stages, there was no real danger. It was fine if her development speed was slow; there was no need to rush into conflict with the core forces of the Wizard Civilization and initiate wars from the outset.
Thus, during this period, even though every morning upon waking, Ding Yun could see news of her peers failing in their attempts to survive, or even suffering irreparable damage to their true spirits and nearly perishing due to overly tragic deaths, she remained unfazed. She treated it as mere entertainment, continuing to solidify her foundation and slowly, deliberately, developing in the remote area she had chosen.
However, she soon had to panic, all because of Jin Xin Xin.
Specifically, it was when seven out of the ten planets chosen for the first异界传教活动 (otherworldly evangelization activity) had been completely conquered, with only a few countries still offering futile resistance on the remaining three. It was only a matter of time before she solidified their faith and helped them improve their civilizations.
Just as Ding Yun was preparing to plan the specifics for the second batch of evangelization targets, comprising a hundred life-bearing planets, she received an urgent distress message from Jin Xin Xin before she could finalize her targets.
After all, he was family, and the situation was so dire. Ding Yun couldn't bring herself to refuse and readily agreed to his plea for help. The very next second, a severely wounded and dying Jin Xin Xin appeared before Ding Yun through a cross-universe channel opened between their consciousness chips.
Simultaneously, a strange information wave followed.
Even though Ding Yun reacted quickly, utilizing all her trump cards to block the anomalous information wave and sending out a barrage of disruptive signals, she was still drenched in a cold sweat, unsure if her disruption had been successful.
However, with the situation as it was, regret was useless.
Moreover, she couldn't possibly stand by and watch Jin Xin Xin be beaten to death.
Therefore, after a sigh, she could only suppress her inner worries and quickly retrieved numerous top-tier healing medicines containing the essence of creation from her soul space.
She then proceeded to treat the unconscious Jin Xin Xin.
The higher the life essence and cultivation of a being, the more difficult it was to heal severe injuries. An ordinary mortal, even with only a breath left, or even a drop of blood and a wisp of vital energy, could be completely restored, even gaining excellent physical fitness. However, for Jin Xin Xin, who was currently at the Main God realm, the help brought by the power of creation was minimal.
Only the essence of creation could heal him.
After dozens of tubes of essence of creation medicine transformed into energy and entered Jin Xin Xin's body, the wounds on his body began to heal at a visible rate. However, the injury to his brain, as well as the strange aura and energy shrouding his soul, remained stubbornly present. Even when Ding Yun deployed her most crucial Solar Power, she could only temporarily suppress the strange aura and energy.
She couldn't even wake Jin Xin Xin.
"This is bad, what did he provoke..."
Before Ding Yun could even utter a complaint, her consciousness chip received another new message: her aunt, Jin Xin Xin's mother, Su Bixiao, had fallen. The status indicated damage to her true spirit, and she had already been forcibly taken back by the consciousness chip for repair.
Theoretically speaking, the life-saving measures inherent in the consciousness chip could protect everyone's true spirit, ensuring it remained unharmed. Thus, even if the soul were damaged, upon returning to the universe of origin, it could be easily restored with a bit of universal origin energy.
However, this was purely theoretical.
In practice, there were bound to be unforeseen circumstances.
Especially when traveling from one universe to another, there would inevitably be a slight delay in the reaction.
But even a delay of 0.0001 seconds, in the face of a sufficiently powerful enemy, could still result in damage to the true spirit. Therefore, the current situation was entirely normal.
And then...
Ding Yun received a message from her mother.
[Your aunt had an accident. Jin Xin Xin should have gone to you for refuge. You must be extremely careful. If any Law Wizards or Origin Wizards attack, do not attempt to resist them directly. Take Xin Xin and immediately return to the universe of origin. We underestimated the terror of Law Wizards and Origin Wizards; they can damage our true spirits.
While they can be repaired, the cost is too high.
And there's a chance of memory loss, not to mention the pain the true spirit endures during injury.
Each repair costs a million Origin Coins.
It's not worth it, not worth it. Remember!]
Upon seeing this, although Ding Yun still didn't know what exactly had happened, she replied to her mother, Su Yunxiao, with a short message indicating she understood. She then continued to try and treat Jin Xin Xin, but the strange aura and energy were completely unfamiliar to Ding Yun, and without a precise method to counter it, she was helpless for the time being.
Finally, out of desperation.
Ding Yun manipulated Jin Xin Xin into dual cultivation.
Do not misunderstand, this was a perfectly legitimate form of cultivation, purely an interaction of energy. The main process involved Ding Yun using a portion of her mental energy to mobilize her most core Solar Divine Power, and another portion of her mental energy to forcefully mobilize Jin Xin Xin's Taiyin Divine Power. This was then circulated in a Yin-Yang Grinding manner, completely enveloping Jin Xin Xin's soul under the Yin-Yang Grinding to slowly obliterate the strange aura and energy.
The miraculous aspect of the Yin-Yang Grinding was its ability to wear down energies or laws that were one level higher than their current energy tier. Therefore, as long as the assailant was not an Origin Wizard comparable to a Creation God, Ding Yun could, over time, gradually wear away the strange aura and energy on Jin Xin Xin's soul.
And if it were indeed an Origin Wizard who attacked him,
He likely wouldn't have survived.
Therefore, Ding Yun was quite confident in her Yin-Yang Grinding secret technique. The subsequent situation indeed unfolded as she predicted. Although the progress was extremely slow, the strange aura and energy shrouding Jin Xin Xin's soul were gradually being ground away by the Yin-Yang Grinding, transforming into the most primitive chaos energy and dissipating.
