above the disease

Chapter 1120 The Holy Lord's Pact, The Final Battle (Part 1)

The human body has its limits.

Even figures of the first Holy Lord's stature cannot escape the approaching end of their lifespan.

That exceptionally talented Holy Lord devised many methods, creating numerous plague-eradicating techniques that could prolong life, health-preserving massages, and even using [the plague] as a medium.

But diseases, though said to grant immortality, are actually a special kind of parasite that attaches itself to a living organism; life follows the host organism.

When the Great Resurrection proved useless, the First Holy Lord set his sights on the ultimate goal of this world.

"So, the ultimate goal of this world is two legs?"

Zhou Zhi asked at the opportune moment.

Twenty-three added: "Two beautiful legs."

Ruan Yin thought for a moment and said, "You could say that. I personally think it looks pretty good."

After a pause, Ruan Yin added, "Ruan Lu, Ruan Ji, and that Ruan Rong you killed—Luo... Luo something, they all said he was good-looking."

then.

The first Holy Lord then began the fusion.

If one becomes part of the "benevolent father," even if it is only part of the original patient, one can attain immortality.

And what was the result?

"The first Holy Lord underestimated the world, and he also underestimated me."

"I have disturbed her will."

"To be precise, it was transformed into a disease using the character '朊'."

Ruan Yin stated plainly, without any other emotion: "Primal is the most efficient form of destruction against humanity in this world, bar none."

"The ultimate weapon against humans, surpassing both teeth and forensic science."

“I took over her body, or to put it more bluntly, I ate her.”

“Through this, I have grasped the position of the Holy Lord and all the secrets. What’s even better is that, because I am part of the Father, I can naturally and completely use the Father’s remnants.”

Zhou Zhi straightened his back.

In awe.

The original patient merged with the first Holy Lord.

Is this the ultimate end of this world?
jingle.

While talking.

Not far away, Ruan Lu appeared beside the two.

Not only did they provide new refreshments, but they also brought news from outside.

Clearly, this Ruan Lu is not the same Ruan Lu from before.

If Zhou Zhi's judgment is correct, this Ruan Lu must have been brought over by some angel of authority to replace her.

"To be honest, they've really mastered the art of resurrection to eradicate plagues. By the way, is the success rate of this technique really that high, or are there other similar plague eradication techniques?"

Twenty-three was slightly curious.

"Lord Saint."

Ruan Lu recounted the story of the powerful wanderers from outside landing on the island.

Ruan looked at Zhou Zhi.

Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "I sent them. My friends haven't been doing so well these past few years. It's a rare opportunity for them to come to Duanyanzhou, so we should share in their wealth. I've heard there's a treasure trove inside the [Guardian Royal City], so I sent them to take some."

Ruan Yin waved his hand, not caring about such things: "Whatever, let Ruan Ji take them."

To this day, Ruan Yin still cannot remember the names of all the passersby except Zhou Zhi.

To be precise, I was too lazy to remember, since there was no difference anyway.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Ruan Lu took his leave, and Ruan Yin continued to speak.

"Actually, Zhou Zhi, you've already figured it out, haven't you?"

"The world has always been under the influence of the power of the Father, and the human body has become a subtle natural law of disease. Under such circumstances, all kinds of creatures will naturally be born."

"The world has been corrupted, so naturally the [World's Medicine] will be born."

Such existences were once commonplace.

"[Divine Revelation Girl][Tree of Immortality][Black Death King][Boundless Old Man][Shadow]..."

Ruan counted them one by one.

Aside from the first two, Zhou Zhi had never heard of the last one.

This Black Death King... should be somewhat related to that rat-headed Duke of the Black Death.

These places have people, and they also have diseases. So...

"These beings are all life forms that were born naturally from the influence of the father's remains or the world."

"They are born with the ability to fully utilize the power of the gods."

Ruan Yin said, "Twenty-three, I remember that name very clearly, she's very capable."

"hiss……"

"He's the strongest plague exterminator I've ever seen, apart from me, of course."

"It's in that place..."

Ruan Yin pointed deep inside: "I ate twenty-three pieces of meat there."

Upon hearing this, Twenty-Three expressionlessly checked his body and, finding nothing missing, breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Zhou Zhi understood.

The existence of the Divine Revelation Girl is not unique.

There is never just one drug and one treatment for an epidemic.

But Zhou Zhi and the others had never heard of it.

The title of the strongest among men in the twenties has been bestowed upon him for a long time.

"I killed every single one of the remaining guys."

Ruan Yin spoke of it casually.

Zhou Zhi lowered his head slightly.

Yes.

He died more than 20 years ago.

As for the Tree of Immortality, it was also designed by Ruan Yin. In its current state, it is imprisoned by Zhou Zhi, and being completely controlled by him is no different from being dead.

"Over the years, I have... gradually become unable to make any progress."

Ruan Yin said softly.

"I'm too strong."

"Even the most powerful epidemic can be eradicated at its source."

"Even the most skilled plague eradicator can't withstand one punch from me."

"The medical knowledge in my head is at least fifty years ahead of the rest of the world."

"My understanding of life transcends species and gender."

Zhou Zhi: "You're invincible."

Ruan Yin nodded: "Yes, I am invincible."

"But I am acutely aware that I still have a long way to go."

"The gods are the source of all corruption."

"The closer you get, the clearer it becomes."

"But when I suppressed the world, I realized that piecing together my father's remains was not a good thing."

"He will rise again, from my [avatar]."

"The closer you get, the more you will be assimilated."

"Complete control of the [severed limbs] will only lead to the emergence of the next benevolent father."

Zhou Zhi also realized what was going on at this point.

He frowned: "Lord Ruan, do you want to be a benevolent father?"

Ruan nodded naturally: "Yes, I don't think anyone is stronger than me, nor do I think anyone can control the father better than me."

Now, Zhou Zhi understands the situation perfectly.

He spoke slowly: "Is it really a good thing to return to the identity of the original patient, manipulated by a loving father?"

Ruan Yin said in a deep voice, "No, only I can control my own life."

"Zhou Zhi, you are a good person."

“I have no interest in your ability to wield the power of a demigod.”

"I only hope that, for my sake and for the sake of this world, you can hand over the [severed limbs] to me, and then die."

Zhou Zhi frowned: "What if I say no?"

Ruan Yin spoke softly, "Then... I will beat you to death."

"Like everyone else in the past."
