Chapter 288: The Lost God
It was raining, and the air was cold to the bone.
There is no end to the narrow passageway, and the walls on both sides are filled with deep holes.
Yahiko walked slowly through the passage, the sound of footsteps echoing and disappearing into the distance.
Palm-sized buttons were pressed one after the other, and a rumbling sound rang out through the hole.
Yahiko slowly moved forward, and cylindrical devices continued to appear in the holes behind him.
"These should be enough." He stopped, and eighteen cylindrical devices behind him slid out of holes, cracking through the middle.
A yellow-haired corpse with a black rod stuck in it lies in the device, eyes closed.
Yahiko closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, the brown eyes were gone, replaced by purple reincarnation eyes.
"Wake up, and bring the target back."
With Yahiko's whispering, the eighteen corpses opened their eyes, their eyes glowing with purple.

"Yahiko...... "Xiao Nan just opened his mouth, and Anran raised his hand, "Wait a minute." β
There was a momentary distortion in the space, and Kishiran nodded, "You continue." β
"After the meteor incident, Nagato, who returned to the Land of Rain, decided to use his faith to unite the Land of Rain, and in the process of construction, he gradually felt powerless, and at this time, he suddenly discovered ......"
βMemories beginβ
"Yahiko's soul is missing?" There was too much information in Nagato's words, which made it difficult for her to accept it for a while, "Yahiko? Soul? It's gone!? β
"When Yahiko died, I sealed his soul in my eyes and waited for the right time to resurrect." Nagato lowered his head, he was a little afraid to face Xiao Nan, "But I recently wanted to resurrect him, only to find that his soul is gone." β
"If you can be resurrected, then why didn't you resurrect Yahiko in the first place, but ......" Xiao Nan's expression was painful, and the Heavenly Dao filled with black rods appeared in his mind, and after Nagato's body recovered, the six Dao Payne were sealed and basically never used again.
"The resurrection consumed too much chakra, and I was weak at that time and could not complete the resurrection, and as time went on, the chakras needed were also increasing, and my body was getting weaker and weaker, and if I was forcibly resurrected...... I'm going to die. β
"I'm sorry." Xiao Nan's eyes flashed with tears, compared to himself who knew nothing, Nagato, who obviously had the ability to resurrect, but had been unable to do it, was obviously more painful, "Then ...... now?" β
"Now that my body has recovered, after cultivating for a while, I can completely resurrect Yahiko now." Nagato pulled a smile on his face.
"Are you going to be okay?" Xiao Nan looked worried, only in front of her friends, she would occasionally show a trace of expression.
"It's just going to be weak for a while, that's okay, but now that Yahiko's soul is missing, it's a little troublesome."
"How can I help?" Xiao Nan said softly.
"Missing, if you want to resurrect the dead with the innate art of reincarnation, you need the body and soul of the resurrected, and the longer you die, the more difficult it is for the soul to be recalled. I must concentrate on the spell, and the task of retrieving the soul will have to be left to you. Nagato said seriously.
"What should I do?"
"Missing, and calling his name, and my eyes, will surely bring him back from that world."
"The world?" Xiao Nan was stunned, "Do you know where Yahiko went?" β
"Of course." Nagato whispered, "Corpse Soul Realm." β
In the center of the complex spell mark on the ground was Yahiko's corpse full of black rods, Nagato's hands were sealed, and Chakra burned violently, condensing into an invisible passage in the void with the help of the reincarnation eye.
"Reincarnation is born!"
"Yahiko......" Xiao Nan softly called her friend's name, too much time had passed, she thought that those miserable memories had been blurred, but at this moment, looking back, it still felt like yesterday.
Colorful fantasies came to mind, and all the memories in an instant, in the night of this rain country where no stars had ever been seen, were like countless fast horses running from the depths of the black hole of time far, far away, ravaging her fiercely under the hooves.
Countless knives and blades flew up and down in the flamed mind in the darkness, painfully cutting through the memories that gradually recovered, the never-ending drizzle, the dark clouds rolling in the sky, and the thin body and warm palm in the cold wind......
"Xiao Nan...... Nagato, long time no see. β
A familiar smile appeared on the body full of black rods, and the eyes were no longer purple reincarnation eyes, but the black brown of normal people.
Yahiko, resurrected.
"Why are you crying, they're all big girls...... Nagato, you are persuading Xiao Nan...... Why are you crying too?! The corners of Yahiko's mouth twitched, and her eyes became a little sour.
After calming down, Nagato and Konan explain the current situation and Nagato's current plans to Yahiko.
"I'm sorry, I wanted to stick to your wishes, but ......" Nagato looked guilty.
"Don't say that," Yahiko grabbed Nagato's shoulder, "you shouldn't live for me, Nagato, you're doing a great job, and the new plan is much better than what I thought before, be confident!" β
"If you can agree, of course it's the best......" Nagato's body shook and his expression was in a trance.
"What's wrong with you?!" Yahiko hurriedly dragged his body.
"The consumption is a bit large, and I need to rest for a while, but ......" Nagato struggled.
"No, but!" Yahiko said categorically, "It's to resurrect me to become like this, and the rest will be left to me, you have done so much for me, I should also do some for you." β
"Yahiko ......" Nagato's eyes drooped, and Yahiko was still the same as before.
It's nice to be taken care of.
"This kid is too thin!" Yahiko and Konan sent Nagato back to the room, and after putting it on the bed, Yahiko pinched Nagato's arm and said dissatisfiedly, "This kid doesn't practice physical skills at all, he's slacking." β
"It's not that he's slacking off, he's just recently recovered." Xiao Nan reached out and pushed aside the red hair from the corner of Nagato's mouth.
"Just recovered?" Yahiko kept staring at Xiao Nan's hand for a while before he came back to his senses.
"That's right......" Konan walked out with Yahiko and told him about Nagato's situation.
"It's hard for him." Yahiko turned a corner, sat on the protruding platform of the tall building, and stretched out his hand to catch the rain falling from the sky, "The land of rain has changed so much, and it seems that nothing has changed. β
Xiao Nan sat next to Yahiko with his knees crossed, and there was a distance of about half a meter between the two, "What can it change?" β
She whispered, her eyes lowered.
The moist and slightly cool palm grabbed her hand, and Xiao Nan raised his head in some surprise and saw Yahiko's gentle eyes.
"You've worked hard all these years." Yahiko looked into Konan's eyes.
"I'm fine, Nagato, he just ......" Xiao Nan hurriedly defended.
"Don't mention him!"
