Chapter 677 376: A Good Startup Project: Starry Night Constable

The mother tree's master was an elderly man of the Tree Spirit Race. He had dark cyan skin, two antennae on his head, skin as rough as tree bark, and a pair of black hooves.

He lay silently on the ground, not breathing and showing no signs of life. Only a cluster of life energy within his chest preserved his last shred of vitality.

The Regeneration Fruit that Su Ze had fed the mother tree's master was also composed of life energy, but there were different tiers of quality. The life energy Su Ze currently produced was of a higher quality than that wielded by the mother tree.

The Regeneration Fruit melted the moment it entered his mouth, dissolving into a dense life energy that spread throughout the master's body, attempting to awaken him.

The next second, the fingers on the mother tree's master's hands twitched slightly...

"There's hope!" Su Ze's eyes lit up.

But immediately after, the life energy began to dissipate from the master's body, and everything returned to tranquility.

Evidently, the treatment had failed.

Su Ze frowned and looked at the Pope, who was standing to the side.

He wasn't a professional "healer," and this was his only healing skill. He was at a loss as to the master's current condition.

'It doesn't look like the mother tree's master has any injuries; he seems perfectly fine everywhere. He isn't dead either, still clinging to that last shred of life. So why can't he wake up?'

The Pope observed for a moment before explaining, "He was too severely injured before, and his life force was completely severed. You could say he has already died once. Or rather, he's still dead now, just not completely."

"Although years of nourishment and treatment with life energy have healed all his injuries, it's no easy task to awaken someone who has already died."

"Right now, he's relying solely on life energy to stay alive. The moment that supply is cut off, his body and soul lack the instinct to sustain life, and he will perish completely in an instant."

Su Ze roughly understood the master's condition. It was like a patient who had lost the ability to breathe on their own and needed a respirator at all times. The moment it was removed, they would suffocate and die.

The life energy was currently serving as the master's respirator.

"Then how can this situation be resolved?"

"It's simple. Just infuse him with life energy. A massive, violent infusion of life energy to restore his Soul Body's instinct to function on its own. But it must be a large amount of high-quality life energy! At a minimum, it would require a Sun God expert skilled in healing to even have a chance."

'A Sun God expert skilled in healing?'

'A Sun God-level healer?'

'Where would I find someone like that?'

"It seems my only option is to make a trip to the Tree Spirit Race in the future," Su Ze said, shaking his head.

He was a stranger in a strange land in the universe and didn't know anyone. Recklessly seeking help from another Sun God carried risks no smaller than going to the Tree Spirit Race himself.

Besides, Sun God-level healers weren't that easy to find.

On this trip, he had also discovered that Sun God-level experts were actually very rare and difficult to encounter.

On a planet as prosperous as Thousand Illusion Star, Su Ze had wandered around a great deal and hadn't seen a single Sun God. He had only seen a few scattered Moon Gods.

Star Gods were the most common. On Thousand Illusion Star, you could say that Star Gods were a dime a dozen, and Legends were worth less than dogs. As for anyone below Legend-rank, you basically never saw them.

On Thousand Illusion Star, the stall owners and shopkeepers were mostly Star Gods, while Legend-rank individuals handled menial jobs and errands.

So, Su Ze now understood that in the grand scheme of the universe, Star Gods were the general populace. Moon Gods could already be considered elites, and as for Sun Gods, they were true magnates.

It was said that only a single Sun God was stationed on Thousand Illusion Star.

However, one had to consider that as a Public Planet and the commercial hub for the surrounding Star Realms, the people who could come here were already a filtered group.

In reality, a Star God was already considered an expert among ordinary races. In a typical minor race, a Star God would be a being who ruled over an entire planet.

The Pope said, "Actually, every Public Planet has specialized healers who charge fees to treat all sorts of injuries and difficult ailments. However, most of these healers are just Star Gods. Even on the larger Public Planets, they'd be equipped with Moon God healers at best."

"Master, if you want to find a Sun God-level healer, your only option is to go to the Public Star Realms of the Dominator Races."

Su Ze pondered for a moment and nodded. That was a viable option, but he wouldn't be acting on it for now.

The Human Race and the five great Dominator Races were enemies. The Public Star Realms were teeming with experts, full of hidden masters. If he were to recklessly barge in with his current strength, someone might see through his identity.

Once his identity as a member of the Human Race was exposed, he would undoubtedly face danger.

Therefore, even if he were to go to a Public Star Realm, he would wait until his strength had increased.

In any case, Su Ze wasn't in a hurry to heal the mother tree's master.

After having the mother tree put its master's body away safely, Su Ze took advantage of the remaining time to fuse a skill.

He had originally planned to fuse the "Celestial Sea Wings" and "Space Jump" skills, but he had held off because he felt their levels were too low.

Now that "Space Jump" had been upgraded to a tier-eight divine skill, becoming his highest-level skill, he could naturally begin the fusion.

However, Su Ze had originally intended for "Celestial Sea Wings" to be the primary skill in the fusion, but now "Space Jump" was clearly superior.

He immediately attempted to merge "Celestial Sea Wings" into "Space Jump."

There wasn't much to break down with these two skills, so he just fused them whole.

Time passed, second by second...

By the time the Magic Cube landed on Zexing, Su Ze still hadn't finished the fusion. Mr. Ya and the Pope naturally didn't disturb him; they both waited quietly, each minding their own business.
