Even though this was just his wishful thinking, Xue Dili couldn’t just watch Howard die like this, especially for such a ridiculous reason.
In such a situation, even other cave divers wouldn’t go down to rescue a companion, would they? Are you crazy, bro?
"Hurry up and start, Mom!" Xue Dili said imdiately.
The World Consciousness did not hesitate. At this mont, the trunk of the Divine Tree had already been infected by the bacteriophage, and the World Consciousness’s suppression appeared directly, completely stripping away its final ability to retaliate.
Then, the Divine Tree seed to want to release spores like before to escape the crisis, waiting millions of years to birth a new Divine Tree. But this ti, its plan failed because the bacteriophage began to act.
In unwillingness, the Divine Tree could only be grabbed by Mom, and then world-class sealing layers fortified it, rendering the Divine Tree immobile. Combined with the interference of the bacteriophage, its fate was sealed.
Afterward, the Divine Tree was sealed within Xue Dili’s body.
At this mont, in the Magic Academy dormitory, the Little Witch suddenly felt an earth-shattering change. She jumped out of her bed in terror, saying, "Brother, what happened? Is this the end of the world? Or did a teor hit the planet?"
Then, with a horrified expression, a large hole appeared in the sky of the Consciousness Space, and a towering giant tree, thousands of ters high, was forcibly squeezed into the Consciousness Space.
When the tree roots landed on the ground behind the Magic Academy, the roots rapidly spread throughout the entire Consciousness Space, filling almost all areas except for the parts protected by the array set up by Xue Dili in the Magic Academy, which remained largely unaffected. The whole Consciousness Space seed to beco the domain of this Divine Tree.
The world-class seal was finally complete. Just after Xue Dili had expelled the two Divine Trees from his body, he didn’t expect a more massive Divine Tree to be contained.
This Divine Tree, from 60 million years ago, was even bigger than the Insect-devouring Tree of his young daughter, truly covering everything in the Consciousness Space.
At least it was finished, and Earth was rid of another world-ending danger.
Xue Dili could only say, "I’ll explain later, I have to hurry and rescue soone now!"
Xue Dili directly opened a Teleportation Gate to the cave entrance.
The mont the Teleportation Gate opened, an intense water pressure instantly surged in, and Xue Dili, ignoring everything, rushed straight into the Teleportation Gate with the water pressure.
Xue Dili felt like he had entered a gigantic toilet bowl, as the powerful impact of the water pressure thrust him hundreds of ters away even upon reaching the surface.
He rolled around on the ground like toilet paper in a toilet for who knows how long before finally standing up, feeling utterly disassembled.
Cursed Blood quickly regulated his blood pressure, preventing his blood vessels from bursting under the trendous pressure he had endured to counteract the deep-sea pressure, and then rushed to the entrance. Ignoring the chaotic environnt, he jumped directly into the water.
At this ti, the entire cave was exceedingly murky, with swirling mud filling the entire water area. Xue Dili had no choice but to release Cursed Blood, allowing it to search for Howard’s figure.
Soon, Cursed Blood brought back news; they had found Howard!
Xue Dili imdiately swam over and saw Howard floating in the water, promptly dragging him to the shore.
He truly didn’t expect Howard to be so reckless. Was it necessary to go this far for a friend he had just t today?
Xue Dili quickly peeled open Howard’s oxygen mask, discovering that he was still alive, but barely.
It was discovered that the spark was at a depth of roughly 110 ters underwater, which was already the maximum depth for ordinary divers. The pressure would induce severe decompression sickness on the body. Although Xue Dili himself had Cursed Blood to regulate blood pressure, allowing him to resist decompression sickness,
For Howard, this was a hopeless situation.
"There’s still breathing, but he’s experiencing carbon dioxide narcosis, his brain is extrely hypoxic. He probably got lost underwater, inhaled too much CO2, and got anesthetized... Along with blood pressure that has burst through his valve, causing decompression sickness..."
While checking Howard’s body, Xue Dili fell silent.
Now Howard’s injuries were even similar to those of Cloud Star seen on the swarm battlefield in the past. Even if Cursed Blood saved him, it would leave serious after-effects, and Cloud Star still had the abilities of the Giant Beast, whereas ordinary Howard would probably end up close to brain-dead.
Xue Dili, without further ado, prepared to directly use Cursed Blood to transfer all of Howard’s injuries onto himself. However, in an instant, Xue Dili froze as Cursed Blood could only enter Howard’s body and couldn’t execute the transfer of harm.
"What’s going on! Mom, let use Cursed Blood! Howard is dying, quickly, using Cursed Blood now can still save him!" Xue Dili shouted imdiately.
However, the World Consciousness did not release this power, simply saying, "He’s beyond saving. In fact, if he were still in the water, he might have lived a bit longer, but by forcibly dragging him to the shore, the decompression sickness coupled with extre hypoxia erupted. Even if you used Cursed Blood at the fastest speed, his chances of survival remain very low, moreover, I will not let you use this power again."
Xue Dili gritted his teeth, just thinking of breaking through Mom’s seal to forcefully use Cursed Blood.
Suddenly, the World Consciousness said, "However, this accident is my oversight, my apologies. So child, I will give you a life, a temporary ability to reincarnate at will, limited to once."
"What happens next, I leave it to you," said the World Consciousness, then seed to go offline.
Xue Dili looked at the red sphere appearing in his hand in a daze. This was the Treasure given by Mom, a one-ti reincarnation tool.
He didn’t complain further, after all, Howard jumping into the cave to find Xue Dili was an unforeseen issue for both sides.
Xue Dili wouldn’t reproach, and he himself faced significant issues.
Dragging Howard to the shore directly from the deep-water area was strictly forbidden. Correct ergency procedures would have saved Howard underwater first, and then treated his decompression sickness after dragging him ashore.
This error was due to his own negligence.
"Damn it! I suddenly rember that diving ergency rescue is covered in the second Chapter of my disaster dicine class! Damn it, why didn’t I carefully read that part!" Xue Dili sighed, as this was a completely unexpected situation.
This red sphere could resurrect any life.
Except for a corpse, since Howard now had bruises all over, a symptom of decompression sickness, with blood pressure having burst his blood vessels, spreading throughout his body.
And Howard’s soul was in the red sphere.
"Howard?" Xue Dili asked.
"Am I dead?" Inside the red sphere, Howard experienced his current state with a blank expression.
