Chapter 113: Chapter113-An Unnameable, Untouchable Existence

Leo could have forcibly resolved the situation with brute force.

However, doing so would only provoke even stronger intervention from the Time-Space Control Bureau, causing endless repercussions.

Even now, Leo could not fully see through the Time-Space Control Bureau’s foundations.

But he was certain that what had been shown so far was only the tip of the iceberg.

Making an enemy of such a massive organization, which maintained the basic order of the multiverse, was not a wise choice.

Thus, Leo’s strategy was to win them over with reason.

This was also why, in lower planes and even the Sakend plane, he had chosen to offer benefits to the time-space guardians rather than forcefully suppress them.

The young man spoke in a deep voice.

“What if you lose?”

Leo shrugged. “Do with me as you wish.”

“Fine!”

The young man answered without hesitation.

He did not believe that anyone could truly accomplish the resurrection of the dead. Even some of the untouchable beings within the Time-Space Control Bureau could not easily achieve such a feat. Let alone this mysterious figure in front of him.

Seeing that the young man agreed, Leo smiled inwardly and turned to continue his ritual.

Wendell, Albert, and Kewen watched nervously.

The young man crossed his arms, observing from the side, occasionally showing a look of mockery.

Time reversal?

This was a trick he knew how to perform too. So what?

What else could this person do?

After some time, Leo finally stopped his hand movements.

As he raised his hand, a beautiful woman slowly rose from the earth.

“Selas!”

Wendell’s eyes immediately filled with tears.

Albert quickly placed his hand on Wendell’s shoulder, signaling him to calm down.

Wendell struggled to suppress the urge to rush forward, but his gaze remained locked on the woman.

Leo stared at the lifeless woman in front of him, silent.

As expected, a simple reversal of time could not bring back a departed soul.

The woman in front of him was merely a body in the state of having just died.

“System, what’s the next step?”

“Master, please watch closely!”

Leo’s hand, which had been emitting energy, suddenly changed its nature!

A vast surge of life essence, imbued with the very core of life, poured into the woman’s body, constantly flowing into her!

But that was not all!

Next, an aura concerning the very essence of existence began to gather from all directions.

As these auras continued to converge, a soul figure identical to the woman’s appearance began to form in front of Leo!

“Forming a soul?!”

The young man gasped in shock!

This god-defying method, he had only heard of it in ancient forbidden texts. He never expected to see it with his own eyes today!

But this… did this not violate some deeper taboo?!

Why was there no corresponding punishment?!

Meanwhile.

In a place where laws intertwined and the air was thick with the scent of death—the realm of soul returns.

A powerful figure was fearfully curled up in a corner.

Feeling the presence of an unfathomable, unresistable supreme will locking onto him, he trembled all over!

Just moments ago, he sensed someone attempting to forcibly condense a dissipating soul and was preparing to intervene and punish them…

However, now it seemed better to pretend not to have seen it.

After all, he couldn’t even capture a single trace of this being’s aura!

It was as though this person didn’t belong to this dimension at all!

“You… how did you do this?!”

The young man from the Time-Space Control Bureau’s voice was dry.

Leo ignored him and continued with the crucial part of the ritual.

Even he couldn’t help but carefully observe the miracle of reversing life and death.

The soul, now fully formed, slowly began to merge with the life-filled body below.

A dense aura of life, like a cocoon of light, enveloped both, with countless complex and profound law symbols swirling around the light cocoon.

This process lasted for several star hours.

During this time, various unimaginable supreme powers flowed from Leo’s hands.

The complexity of the event was enough to make even an onlooker dizzy.

Finally, all the phenomena began to settle down.

Thud!

A faint but distinct heartbeat sounded from the woman’s chest.

Though the sound was subtle, it struck every soul present as though it were the very thunder of creation!

She was alive!

She had truly been resurrected!

“Selas!!”

Wendell could no longer contain himself and immediately rushed to her side.

Leo didn’t disturb their reunion but turned to look at the young man with a complex expression.

“Well, how’s that?”

Leo asked indifferently.

The young man was silent for a long time, staring at Leo deeply before speaking.

“I lost. This matter… I have neither the ability nor the authority to interfere with it anymore.”

Leo nodded in acknowledgment.

The young man hesitated for a moment.

“Doing this… will anger some existences you cannot even imagine.”

“Aren’t you afraid?”

Although he didn’t understand how Leo was still unharmed, he felt it necessary to give a warning.

Leo smiled slightly.

“Thank you for your concern, but perhaps my power is not something you can fathom.”

The young man shrugged.

“Fine, I can’t defeat you. You’re right, as always.”

“Since that’s the case, do as you please. Goodbye.”

With that, the young man’s figure blurred and completely vanished.

Leo’s methods had already surpassed his understanding, and naturally, he wouldn’t continue provoking him.

But Leo’s actions had certainly drawn the attention of certain supreme existences, and he wouldn’t get too close to him.

After all, who knew if this audacious powerhouse would even exist tomorrow?

Watching the young man disappear, Leo shook his head and turned to look behind him.

Wendell was tightly hugging Selas, with Albert and Kewen standing beside them.

“Selas… Selas, wake up…”

Wendell’s voice was choked with emotion, full of worry.

Leo flicked his fingers, and a gentle energy entered Selas’s forehead.

The next moment, Selas’s eyelashes fluttered, and her eyes slowly opened.

“Where… am I?”

She looked at the sky with confusion, feeling like she had just woken from an incredibly long dream.

Familiar and urgent calls reached her ears.

She froze for a moment, her gaze gradually focusing.

A face, deeply etched in her memory, yet marked by the traces of time, appeared before her eyes.

“W… Wendell?”

Selas couldn’t believe it.

After tens of millions of years, hearing her beloved call her name again, Wendell was speechless with tears streaming down his face.

“Selas, it’s me! I’ve come back!”

“Wendell, is it really you! I missed you so much…”

The Wendell standing before her was so different from the youthful, spirited boy she remembered.

For a moment, she was at a loss for words.

“Selas, I too… I’ve been thinking about you every moment…”

No more words were needed.

They embraced each other tightly, tears flowing freely.

Watching the reunited lovers who had gone through life and death to finally meet again, Kewen silently wiped away joyful tears.

The knot that had bound them for countless years finally unraveled in this moment.

Albert’s face was filled with a genuine, radiant smile, his heart rejoicing for his dear friend.

At that moment, Kewen turned to Leo and was about to kneel.

“Your grace is impossible to repay. Please, allow me to bow before you!”

Leo raised his hand, and an invisible force gently lifted Kewen up.

“No need for such formalities. After all, I didn’t offer my help for free.”

Leo smiled.

At this moment, Wendell also regained his composure, pulling Selas along as they deeply bowed before Leo.

“Lord Leo, from now on, I, Wendell, vow to serve you as my master, even if the stars fade away, my loyalty will remain until death!”

“Thank you for saving my life. Selas and I will follow you, serving you for the rest of our lives to repay your kindness!”

Selas also firmly stated.

Wendell had already told her the full story.

Hearing Wendell’s vow, Leo was quite satisfied.

However, he was slightly taken aback by Selas’s request.

Serving you for life?

Well, let’s pass on that…
