Life Drain System Chapter 31

As Yueliang was about to drop, he stuck his sword through the last ones neck. Then as his eyes were getting heavy, Yueliang said three final words. "Heal *cough* Me Yang." As his eyes closed he saw some goblins coming over towards him.
---- about 30 minutes later ----
Yueliang opened his eyes slowly, feeling a little hazy and weird. He was still lying on the ground with a circle of goblins sitting around him. 'What happened? I thought I died as I stabbed that last enemy through the throat. Hmm, then again I did ask Yang to heal me.... Yang what happened?' Yueliang thought to himself.
"Master, you told me to heal you, however you had weapons in your body, blood loss, and so many more problems. Thus instead of using experience I had to use your life expectancy. The goblins around you wrapped your wounds and pulled out some of the weapons, thus making the cost slightly less. However the total cost is fifty years, but, you earned 70 from the cultists you killed, so you still made a profit. Although...." Yang repied.
'Although what?' Yue thought very worried.
"Well, it is not really a bad thing, however it seems you were a little slow in leveling, and your planet has now received a restriction from a powerful being. Considering you were not on the planet at the time, it will not effect you, and you can remove it from others. However it will be expensive to do so. Either way, you will not be able to cultivate on this planet until you are much stronger as an array formation is drawing in life."
'Life, as in it everyone on the planet will die soon because of that' Yue thought as he focused on the words yang said.
"Yes, the planet is being harvested to become a powerful medicinal material, that could be used in various ways. Even magic will be limited, however considering Yin has put up an array around your property your place will be safe for a little while, however either you must move to another planet, or save your own quickly, lest you die. The humans are already in chaos as a small part of the planet has already been absorbed. You have one month to succeed or leave, lest you die." Yang stated quite seriously, then said. "Also, think about your people, not your own opinions of the people, should you really risk their lives for a barren planet?"

'I will make my decision after talking to them, I will do what is best for us all, do not worry. Either way, thank you for healing me. Also, could you make a timer for me, as well as a notification to tell me what I must hit to save the planet?' Yueliang replied by thought.
"I will make a countdown clock, however for your strength, the only way you could possibly do it in time is to sacrifice your life, as well as that of ten thousand others. The 10,000 will be used to make a pill that would strengthen you, then your remaining life force would be used to strengthen your vitality as well. Even that might not be enough. After that, you would have to jump into the black hole like thing, and even then, the person might continue just to have a better material."
'What, such a terrible method.... Even if we just used death row criminals, and what not, I am not sure we would hit the number. Even if we did, this plan might not work...' Yueliang thought, then continued thinking. 'Yang, if I travel to another world, would I be able to take the souls of those on this planet to resurrect them later?'
"Potentially you could, however there are not enough quests currently posted for the amount you would need for the supplies. If you wanted to only take maybe 10,000 , you could probably do that with what you have currently. However even if you could take 10,000, there is something you are missing."
'Let me guess, the person doing this will come after me for those souls.'
"Absolutely correct, I recommend just taking a few people if you really insist on this plan. Such as Xue, and her father."
'It seems you are right, I should start preparing immediately, however I am guessing I cannot take anything with me except for what is in my inventory and a few people, as well as my subordinates.'
"You are correct. However it seems those goblins who saved you want to make a contract with you or something. You should probably talk to them soon, lest they think you have been struck dumb."
'Alright, thank you again.' Yueliang thought to himself then said. "Hello, I am Yueliang, did you want something of me?" He asked the goblins surrounding him.
One of the goblins had a skill, language proficiency, of course this was learnable by mages, however it used it at all times to make sure it could understand everything due to its curiosity. This same goblin said solemnly. "Hello, I am the leader of these goblins here, my name is 'Kiisser'. As I am sure sir knows, creatures without names are less intelligent and weaker. Either way, we would like to make a subordination contract with you. Our clan is few, due to the city of us being killed recently. Also, because of us being few in numbers we will not have much of a chance of being able to live on. There are only 24 of us left."

"I do not mind taking you in, however I thought most goblins eat people? Why did you not kill me? I mean it is nice being able to communicate like this. It would be great to be friends, however I still have my curiosity." Yueliang said kind of wondering, and hoping he would not have to find corpses to feed them.
"Hahah, you are funny sir. Only the depraved do such acts, normally we kill them off shortly after to keep them from causing trouble, however they are useful in wars, as they have increased attributes. Such situations are rare among us, and normally only happen when we get a taste, like sharks. It is similar to strong drugs to humans, complicated to leave once tasted, but not impossible." Kiisser replied, then continued. "As for why we saved you, you tried to protect us, I heard what you said. I also figured you are the one who wiped out our city. However we need a strong leader to protect us. We will not be a burden, we can work hard, or help in whatever way you need."
"You are right, I did wipe them out. If I knew they we so intelligent, I would have spoken to them first instead. I apologies, however let us do the contract, I will help you. Although one more thing, you said the named creatures. Does that imply they are given a name by someone later?"
"Yes and no, see for humans, it does not work unless a certain technique is used. However for us creatures or anything that has intelligence basically, if named the spiritual energy of the world comes to the named, and sort of mutates or evolves depending on the race at that time. Although the one naming needs to have some degree of affinity with spirituality. Also for some that are pack based such as dogs or something, naming one would suffice to strengthen them all. Why do you ask?" Kiisser asked hopingly, and replied seriously.
"It is just interesting is all, however if that is the case, it would make a good reward for later maybe." Yueliang said with a smile, then continued. "Shall we begin the contract?"
"Of course." Kiisser said as he reached out to clasp Yueliang's hand, and was excited to serve this person who might name him. The two continued to form the contract with the same conditions as the last, and once again a formed contract appeared, and then Yue said. "I have something to do really quick, then we can leave for my world as you have seen."
The goblins nodded, and followed after him, as he walked a few meters then activated the scroll given by yin, then used the molten gold he stored in his inventory with difficulty a while back for emergency creations to fill in the inscribed formation on the ground. After about 30 minutes when the gold had hardened and mostly cooled, Yueliang said. "Alright, shall we go to my world now?"
"Just curious are you not worried about people coming in here again like last time?" One of the unnamed goblins asked.
"It is not my worry for now, although it would be nice to defend this place, my people are in danger, and I must save a few before leaving." Yue replied solemnly.
"Master do not worry, once you study more and have the capabilities, you will eventually be able to counter such things. However that will take a number of years, even speeding up time would not be enough to fix such unfamiliarity with mana, chi, or other means. As you must go through many life experiences to solve this." Yang said trying to cheer up Yue.
'Thank you yang' Yue said in his head.
Kiisser then spoke up with a bow. "Time to go then right? I personally am excited to meet Lord Yue's people and fiance."
"Hahah, of course. I think we will be great friends Kiisser, well let us be on our way then." Yueliang said and was about to teleport back....
