After the red phantom left, Ye Ling directly put away both the World Extinguishing Spirit Fire and the World Extinguishing Little Fire, allowing them to rest well within his body and recover their vital energy.
Although Ye Ling could replenish the power lost by the World Extinguishing Spirit Fire and the World Extinguishing Little Fire with his Creation Force, the surrounding power could not compensate for their spiritual fatigue.
Both the World Extinguishing Spirit Fire and the World Extinguishing Little Fire had faced a Venerable directly. While they had not shown fear, their spirits had been subjected to extreme pressure. This was especially true for the World Extinguishing Little Fire, who was still young. If he was not allowed to relax properly, the taut string within him might snap at any moment.
Ye Ling had to be extremely cautious when dealing with the peculiar being known as the World Extinguishing Little Fire.
After settling the World Extinguishing Spirit Fire and the World Extinguishing Little Fire, Ye Ling did not immediately leave the Star Devouring Abyss. Instead, he took out the other two treasures he had obtained from within the Gate of Reincarnation.
He had originally planned to retrieve the stone tablet from the bottom of the Star Devouring Abyss and then return to ask the Gate of Reincarnation about the purpose of the strange pill and token.
However, he never expected that after he went to the bottom of the Star Devouring Abyss, the Gate of Reincarnation would be reduced to nothing but ashes upon his return.
"If only I had recorded the reincarnation information of the Gate of Reincarnation. Now I have to research these two treasures myself."
Up to this point, none of the treasures Ye Ling had obtained from the Four Great Fiendish Lands had been useless. Therefore, Ye Ling also held great expectations for the strange pill and the token.
What if he obtained another Sword of Void, or another World Extinguishing Little Fire? He would have struck it rich.
"Let's analyze the composition of the pill first. This medicine looks so strange, I can't just eat it."
Ye Ling composed himself and was about to use his world to decompose the pill emitting a strange aura when a faint cry for help reached his ears.
"Lord... Save me..."
"This voice... is it the Gate of Reincarnation?"
Ye Ling was taken aback when he heard the voice of the Gate of Reincarnation. He immediately looked in the direction of the sound and saw a bronze fragment, smaller than a grain of rice, floating in the Star Devouring Abyss. The consciousness of the Gate of Reincarnation was lingering on that tiny bronze fragment.
"Interesting... He actually managed to survive! This is an unexpected pleasant surprise."
Seeing that the Gate of Reincarnation was still alive, a flicker of joy flashed in Ye Ling's eyes. He immediately drew the Gate of Reincarnation into his hand.
The guardian beasts of the major fiendish lands all had some understanding of the treasures they guarded. If the Gate of Reincarnation was still alive, then Ye Ling would not have to risk studying those unknown treasures.
"I'm saved! Thank you, Lord!"
After the fragment of the Gate of Reincarnation landed in Ye Ling's hand, the Gate of Reincarnation let out a sigh of relief and thanked Ye Ling excitedly.
Ye Ling protected the consciousness of the Gate of Reincarnation with his spiritual power. He did not help him recover immediately but asked curiously, "I'm very curious, how did you survive?"
The Gate of Reincarnation knew that his life was now in Ye Ling's hands, so he dared not hide anything. He replied, "Lord, shortly after you left, that artificial creature found me and interrogated me about your whereabouts."
"I swear, I had absolutely no intention of betraying you, so I had a conflict with that fellow. It's just a pity that I was not as skilled as him, so..."
Ye Ling: "Stop talking nonsense. I know the gap between you and that artificial being better than you do. I want to know how you survived?"
After all, it was not just No. 057 who had attacked the Gate of Reincarnation; the Venerable had also made a move.
Given the immense difference between the Gate of Reincarnation and the Venerable, it was truly incredible that the Gate of Reincarnation could still survive the Venerable's attack.
This Gate of Reincarnation definitely harbored a great secret.
The Gate of Reincarnation dared not hide anything and honestly replied, "To be honest, Lord... I consumed the Undying Pill and possess the Undying Pill Soul, so my vitality is a bit tougher."
"You're not just a bit tougher," Ye Ling quipped, then asked, "What is the Undying Pill?"
The Gate of Reincarnation: "It is one of the three treasures I guarded. You also have an Undying Pill in your hand, Lord."
"You mean this one?"
Ye Ling brought the pill emitting a strange aura into his hand.
"Y-yes! That is the Undying Pill! However, the Undying Pill is divided into the Soul Pill and the Body Pill. I secretly ate the Soul Pill, while the one in your hand, Lord, is the Body Pill."
The Gate of Reincarnation was in a near-death state, his consciousness could dissipate at any moment. He could no longer afford to care about anything else and spilled all his secrets.
Ye Ling looked at the Gate of Reincarnation in his hand with amusement and smiled, "I remember you vehemently condemned me for breaking the rules before. I didn't expect you to have secretly broken the rules yourself!"
The Gate of Reincarnation had nothing left to lose and said, "Lord... I had no choice. I am just a gate, forever guarding the Star Devouring Abyss. Sooner or later, I will be killed by a powerful expert who breaks into the Star Devouring Abyss. The Undying Pill can make me immortal, and I didn't want to live in constant fear, so I secretly ate the Soul Pill."
"Lord, I just want to live!"
"Forget it, I have no interest in your thoughts. I can save you this time, but you have to answer my questions first."
Upon hearing Ye Ling's words, the Gate of Reincarnation became excited and said, "Don't worry, Lord! I will tell you everything I know!"
Ye Ling was not polite and got straight to the point, "Are there any side effects to consuming the Undying Pill?"
Although the Gate of Reincarnation was still close to death after consuming the Undying Pill, Ye Ling had witnessed its powerful vitality.
If Ye Ling could use the Undying Pill to enhance his physical strength, then he would have a slight chance of winning against the Venerable.
The Gate of Reincarnation: "After I took the Undying Pill, there were no major side effects, except that I occasionally felt like eating a soul for a change of pace."
"After eating the Undying Pill, you wanted to eat human souls?" Ye Ling asked with a frown.
This Undying Pill seemed to be quite different from what he had imagined.
Although eating human souls might not be a big deal for a gate spirit like the Gate of Reincarnation, for Ye Ling... he could not accept such a thing.
Based on this side effect alone, Ye Ling could forever reject the Undying Pill.
The Gate of Reincarnation did not consider eating human souls to be a significant issue and continued to say to Ye Ling, "By the way, Lord, the Undying Pill is only fully effective when both the Soul Pill and the Body Pill are consumed simultaneously. I have already eaten the Soul Pill, so if you consume the Body Pill, it will only make your physical body immortal, so..."
Ye Ling raised an eyebrow, "So, you want me to give the Body Pill to you?"
The Gate of Reincarnation: "No, no, no! I wouldn't dare! I just wanted to say that you shouldn't place too much hope on the Body Pill. Given your physical strength, it would be better to give the Body Pill to your companions rather than consuming it yourself, as this would maximize the effect of the Undying Pill."
Although the Gate of Reincarnation said this, his desire for the Body Pill was already evident.
Previously, he was the guardian of the Star Devouring Abyss and had already stolen an Undying Pill. He did not dare to touch the other one. But now, things were different...
The treasury was destroyed, and he was no longer the guardian of the Star Devouring Abyss. The Undying Pill had become Ye Ling's possession, and Ye Ling could give the Undying Pill to whomever he pleased without any restrictions.
Ye Ling could sense the Gate of Reincarnation's longing. He smiled, weighed the Undying Pill in his hand, and said to the Gate of Reincarnation with a light chuckle, "Actually, I can give you this Body Pill too."
The Gate of Reincarnation: "Really!"
A hint of a smile flashed in Ye Ling's eyes, and he said, "Of course, but I have a condition."
