Chapter 500 - Lumi Awakens

"Hm? Uh, I was going to dump them into the Universal Life Conversion Array. Such powerful Demonic Energy should be able to produce a lot of Life Energy, right?" Leon answered.
"You want to what?" Maya gasped with shock before angrily crying, "Holy mama, it was good that I asked! Are you fricking stupid?"
"Huh? Why? What did I do?" Leon asked while furrowing his brows in confusion. "Is there a problem with this?"
"Problem? Of course, there is a problem! A big problem! Do you know water and fire don't mix well?! The same goes for Life and Death, Spirit Energy and Demonic Energy! Basically, any two opposing forces should not be mixed!" Maya exploded like someone had fed her hot pepper.
Leon wrinkled his brows before he said, "You're telling me the Universal Life Conversion Array cannot accept Demonic Energy?"
"Not just Demonic Energy, but also Deathly Energy and Destructive Energy. Basically, any force on the darker side of the spectrum should not be added to the Universal Life Conversion Array."
"Dafuq? Why is a Universal Life Conversion Array even called a Universal Life Conversion Array if it's not even universal?" Leon asked with an incredulous look.
Hearing Leon's question, Maya's angry expression immediately crumpled with a bit of awkwardness.
"Err… well, it's not that the Universal Life Conversion Array cannot produce Life Energy from Demonic Energy… It's just that I—Ahem, it wouldn't have an easy time doing so." Maya said.
Leon stared at Maya with a dubious look before becoming enlightened suddenly like a lightbulb lighting up in his head.
As the artifact spirit of the Divine Book of Life, it was not wrong to say that the Universal Life Conversion Array was one part of Maya.
Looking at it from another angle, the Universal Life Conversion Array could even be said to be Maya's mouth and digestive system.
"So, devouring Demonic Energy is like eating spicy hotpot and getting a ring sting? The poop will still come out in the end, but you will just have a fiery asshole experience, huh?" Leon commented with an understanding look.
"No… well, yes," Maya admitted before glaring at Leon with a repulsive look. "Dammit, do your words have to be so vulgar and nasty?"
"So it is true then. Well… if my analogy is spot on, then why not?" Leon shrugged nonchalantly before his gaze turned serious. "The Worldspace lacks the energy to nourish the herbs, and your spirit also needs to be recovered. Now is not the time to be picky with what you eat."
"Wait… you are not planning to…" Maya saw Leon picked up the bottles of Demonic Energy and making his way over to the Universal Life Conversion Array before she cried, "Don't do it! Noooo!"
The few bottles of Demonic Energy was directly tossed into the array pool.
"Arghh, I will remember this!" Maya spat before her manifested form disappeared into hiding.
Shortly after, the Universal Life Conversion Array rumbled loudly like it had eaten something terrible and had difficulty digesting.
The entire space began to shake like the arrival of Armageddon, threatening to collapse and destroy everything inside.
However, the Divine Book of Life was a peerless treasure of its age. It would not be so easily ruined by some Demonic Energy, even if it is infused with the Law of Wrath.
After some bubbly rumbles and growlings from the Universal Life Conversion Array, the Worldspace began to regain its calm as the scattered light particles of Life Energy descended from the sky and nourished the herbs and soil of the Sacred Garden.
"As I thought, higher-quality energy will naturally produce higher-quality energy." Leon rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
He observed the herbs' growth accelerating and dead soil regaining life, becoming suitable for planting more herbs.
"Uuu…" A soft groan was heard shortly after the Worldspace regained its calmness, causing Leon to shift his gaze over to the Yin area with surprise.
He quickly flashed over.
"You've finally woke up. How are you feeling, Lumi?" Leon asked with concern as he helped her get up from the ice bed.
Lumi's eyes flickered for a moment before she studied her body's condition with a frown, waving her hands and feet.
"I'm… fine, I guess?" Lumi answered unconfidently, uncertain of what answer Leon was hoping for. "How was I asleep?"
"Not too long. Only a few days." Leon responded.
"Oh, only a few days?" Lumi raised an eyebrow before asking suspiciously, "What seems to be the problem, then?"
"Eh? No problem, I suppose."
"Huh? What is that supposed to mean? Stupid."
Leon smiled wryly.
Spirits do not need to sleep due to existing in their soul forms and lack of mortal bodies. Only problems and damages inflicted on their souls would induce them to sleep.
That being said, Leon was not entirely sure. The soul was still a profound learning topic, researched by many back in the Divine Realm—even Peak Divine Kings.
However, he did not want to mention any of this, lest he accidentally makes her recall something unfavorable and lapse into unconsciousness again.
Nevertheless, he was pleasantly surprised to discover that it only took a bit of shaking for Lumi to awaken from her coma.
"Well, it's good that you are awake now. What will you do now? We are currently in the Wildlands beyond the Western Frontier. If you want, you can leave after we return. The Extreme Misty Forest a great place to…"
Leon slowly stopped talking as he saw Lumi shaking her head before shortly saying, "I'm not leaving. I like it around here, so I will stick around for a while longer."
Lumi roamed the surrounding with her gaze before patting the ice bed comfortably, making herself at home.
"If that is what you want, then suit yourself." Leon smiled wryly.
Seeing Maya have not reappeared, Leon went back to the Elf King's transmogrified body to remove the Demonic Energy.
At the same time, Lumi followed him curiously, checking out what he was doing. As his eyes shortly paused on the emerald ring, he decided to reach out for the ring and study its runes.
However, he suddenly recalled the words he previously said to the Elf King and shortly retracted his hand awkwardly.
"Is there something wrong or interesting about this ring? Why are you hesitating to take it?" Lumi asked curiously after grabbing the emerald ring and inspecting it closely.
Leon's lips twitched before he said, "It's nothing."
