Chapter 134 The Grandfather's Summoning of the Soul Shocks All; The Divine General Appears, Trembling in All Directions
The five elders, pale-faced, emerged from the suffocating depths of the back garden, still shaken.
Tescatlipoca's presence was like an invisible mountain, pressing down on them so much they could hardly breathe.
The fear stemming from the absolute disparity in life levels is far beyond what power and strength can compensate for.
"Let's deal with the red team's problem first—" Venus, holding the knife, said in a slightly trembling voice, forcing herself to calm down.
"That lord is particularly concerned about the other side's Son of the Sun God; this must be dealt with first."
Soon, a high-level military conference led by the World Government was urgently convened in the royal palace.
The number of participants was unprecedented.
First were the Five Elders, their faces grim, standing side by side in front of the crowd.
Next was Garin, the commander of the Knights of God, whose face was full of rage.
On the naval side, there are Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Hero Garp, and Admiral Aokiji.
In other aspects, CPO Rob Lucci, who was recovering from serious injuries, had a serious expression.
The Seven Warlords of the Sea remained silent, Doflamingo wore a smug smile, and Crocodile remained expressionless.
Taigong Wang sat there with a smile, gently stroking the God-Slaying Whip, his thoughts completely unreadable.
Smoker felt like he'd wandered onto the wrong movie set.
He was a colonel, and it was only because of the incredibly dangerous Quetzalcoatl beside him that he was able to attend such a high-level meeting.
However, Quetzal Koyatl seemed uninterested in the meeting, even somewhat dismissive.
Sengoku and Garp looked extremely serious, knowing that their next decision would directly affect the course of the war.
At the start of the meeting, the speaker on scientifically defending Venus, the God of War, went straight to the point with a somber tone.
"Report on the current battlefield situation."
Sengoku nodded slightly, and then began his report.
"Shamrock died in the Holy War, Sakazuki was captured while unconscious, and his heroic spirit was taken by Blackbeard."
"Blackbeard—uncontrollable, Kaido defectes to the Reds, Lucci's Assassin is eliminated."
He paused, deliberately ignoring the issue of Crocodile and his terrifying Heroic Spirit.
"Our high-end combat forces have suffered heavy losses. But the war must continue. Plundering territories and seizing positions are also rules of the Holy Grail War. Launching a full-scale offensive with our forces and plundering the energy beneath the rainforest may be the best option at present."
At the mention of the fallen Shamrock, his father Garin Saint was filled with rage, and with nowhere else to vent his anger, he once again turned his wrath on Lucci.
He reprimanded Lu Qi sternly.
"Useless! You couldn't even protect your lord! You've disgraced the CPO and the world!"
"If the war weren't still ongoing, I would have executed you by slow slicing! To wash away the government's shame!"
Lu Qi lowered his head, his fists clenched so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh, but he dared not refute.
Just as the atmosphere became tense, Taigong Wang, who had been observing with a smile, suddenly coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention.
"Gentlemen, why be so pessimistic?" Taigong Wang said with a faint smile, his words surprising.
"He was just a general who died in battle; we can simply resurrect him."
"resurrection?!"
Everyone was astonished; to be brought back to life was simply a fantasy!
Even a Heroic Spirit, could they do such a thing? It's impossible, since Heroic Spirits are essentially dead.
Garin Sei suddenly looked at Taigong Wang, his eyes bursting with intense hope, but then filled with doubt.
"What did you say? Resurrection? Can you do that?"
Taigong Wang nodded, still smiling, but the conditions he stated made the Five Elders break out in a cold sweat.
"This humble Taoist does indeed possess such means. However, to perform such a heaven-defying technique, one must meet with a sage and obtain his approval and assistance."
He glanced at the Five Elders and said meaningfully.
"That is the one who has always been behind the World Government, on the Void Throne."
Upon hearing this, the Five Elders' expressions changed drastically!
As expected! These top-tier Heroic Spirits have probably all sensed Lord Im's presence to some extent!
But saying it so openly in the meeting still shocked them greatly!
Doflamingo's lips curled into a wide grin, his eyes behind his sunglasses filled with the thought, "Finally, I'm about to get close to the world's core secrets."
The fervor!
Of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, aside from Boa Hancock, Moria was extremely excited, and Crocodile also narrowed his eyes.
Smoker was completely stunned, his worldview severely impacted.
Just as the Five Elders were wondering how to deal with this sudden showdown, an invisible yet boundless will suddenly descended!
Time seemed to stand still at that moment!
Inside the meeting room, apart from Garin, the Five Elders, Taigong Wang, and Quetzalcoatl, who seemed completely unaffected, everyone's movements and expressions froze!
Sengoku, Garp, Doflamingo, and Smoker were all frozen in place, as if a pause button had been pressed, their thoughts seemingly frozen as well!
In this absolute stillness, the shadows on the side of the secret room rippled like water, and a figure slowly emerged.
He was shrouded in a blurry light and shadow, making it impossible to discern his exact features.
Only those scarlet eyes, which contained endless emptiness, clearly reflected everything.
He silently walked to the head seat at the top of the conference room and sat down, calmly looking down.
The moment he sat down, Quetzalcoatl, who had been looking lazy and disdainful, suddenly stood up!
Her smile carried a hint of provocation as she stood shoulder to shoulder with Taigong Wang, looking fearlessly at Im at the head of the table.
"Oh dear~" Quetzalcoatl said with a laugh, his tone relaxed as if he were greeting someone.
"Are you the 'King' of this world? Nice to meet you~"
"That prankster Tescatlipoca must have caused you a lot of trouble, right?"
Aside from Im remaining calm, Garin and the Five Elders were all terrified by Quetzalcoatl's audacious, even blasphemous, attitude!
How dare you speak to Lord Im like that?!
Im's gaze did not linger on Quetzalcoatl for long, as if he already knew of her special nature.
His gaze shifted to Taigong Wang, and his voice resounded directly in the minds of Taigong Wang and the few others who could move.
"Jiang Ziya, you said you could resurrect Shamrock. What do you mean?"
Taigong Wang, facing Im, maintained his sage-like, smiling demeanor and cupped his hands in greeting.
"I have a method that can summon souls and guide spirits."
"I just wonder where the souls of people go after they die? Are there places like the underworld, the Yellow Springs, or the netherworld?"
Imna's usually calm eyes twitched slightly when she heard the words "underworld" and "Yellow Springs".
Although it recovered instantly, the fleeting tremor did not escape Taigong Wang's perception.
After a moment of silence, Im slowly raised his hands, his palms holding a hazy sphere of light that emitted a faint life force.
"His soul is here."
Taigong Wang suddenly opened his eyes and his gaze met Im's for a moment in the air.
A hint of understanding seemed to flash deep in his eyes, before he resumed his smiling demeanor.
"That's excellent!" Taigong Wang said with a smile.
"This saves me the trouble of a long journey to summon the soul. In that case, I will immediately perform the ritual to bring him back to life."
He paused, then added.
"Furthermore, to make up for our lack of high-end combat power, and taking advantage of this opportunity of magical energy gathering, I would like to invite an old friend to come and help us."
As soon as he finished speaking, Taigong Wang's expression turned solemn. He brandished his God-Slaying Whip and chanted incantations.
One after another, mysterious cyan runes appeared out of thin air, swirling and dancing around the soul orbs in his and Im's hands!
"O soul, return! O spirit, find peace! By the Supreme Decree, your lonely soul transcends—I command!"
With his command to save him, the cyan talisman suddenly merged into the soul sphere!
The sphere of light suddenly shone brightly, pounding violently like a heart.
It slowly drifted toward Shamrock's remains beside it; no wonder Taigong Wang had brought his body back earlier.
At the moment when the soul and body merge.
Taigong Wang seemed to subtly flick out a wisp of pure energy from his fingertips, which silently merged into the energy, as if he had added something extra.
The process of returning to life was quick; the body's fingers trembled slightly.
His chest began to rise and fall; although he was still unconscious, his life force had returned!
At the very moment the resurrection spell was completed, Taigong Wang did not stop and formed a hand seal with one hand.
A more complex, larger, and majestic summoning array suddenly lit up on the floor.
Unlike ordinary spirit summoning arrays, this array is full of Eastern mysticism and immortal aura.
"Heaven and earth are boundless, the universe borrows their power! Disciples of the Jade Void Sect, heed my command! The wondrous Dao of Pure Origin, manifest its sacred might!"
Taigong Wang's voice, like a grand and majestic bell, resounded throughout the still space!
Yu Yiyi!!!
The light that erupted from the summoning circle was no longer the radiance of magic, but a pure, boundless, and magnificent divine golden light!
The light was so dazzling, so sacred, carrying an unparalleled majesty that suppressed evil and cleansed the universe!
The space itself trembled violently under this divine power, emitting a mournful cry as if it could not bear the weight!
Under this light and pressure, Garin and the Five Elders felt like small boats in a storm, their very souls trembling!
Even Im, who was sitting upright in the superior position, leaned slightly forward.
The face shrouded in light and shadow seemed to reveal an unprecedented solemnity.
The scale of this arrival far surpasses that of any previous heroic spirit.
The light gradually dimmed, and a majestic figure slowly condensed in the center of the summoning circle.
The newcomer wore a three-peaked phoenix crown, a silver armor robe with coiled dragons, and a flowing white cloud-patterned overcoat.
His face was as handsome as jade, and a resolute golden divine mark on his forehead was slightly open, revealing a third divine eye.
Between those opening and closing movements, it seemed as if one could perceive the heavens and the earth, and see through all illusions.
He held in his hand a gleaming, strangely shaped, three-pointed, double-edged sword.
Just by standing there, he exudes an aura of supreme war god that reaches the heavens and the earth, and the majesty of a saintly being in the flesh is overwhelming!
His first step out of the summoning circle landed silently, yet it seemed to freeze the entire space.
The divine light emanating from him swept across the surroundings.
This terrifying power made Garin and the Five Elders feel as if they were being scorched by the sun, and they were so frightened that they almost knelt down!
His gaze was sharp as lightning, instantly locking onto the smiling Taigong Wang beside him, and he immediately clasped his hands in a salute.
The voice was clear and melodious, carrying an undeniable authority and power.
"Uncle-Master! Yang Feng has arrived!"
