Kevin, but he is a male mother in Xingtie with little Ai Li

Yes, not only the great creatures like "Cun Hu", but also humans can be promoted to "Star God" for some reason. Like that "Destruction" and "Lan" of Xianzhou.

But without exception, these two seemed to have completely ascended to become "Star Gods" in hatred and war, so much so that the way they practiced their destiny was still based on war...

Kevin suddenly understood why the Company was so fanatical in believing in the Protector, Creeper. At least He was just building a barrier for the universe to resist some disaster. Compared with these people who were keen on war, how much better was He?

There is no harm without comparison. This principle seems to be extremely applicable to the "Star God" as well.

Chapter 125: Well done, Gray Peony

In just a few moments, countless thoughts had already flowed through Kevin's mind. These were not the chaotic thoughts of ordinary people, but were well-reasoned and clear.

The various Honkai Beast genes brought by the Chimera Project have given Kevin a lot of abilities, making him almost an omnipotent warrior compared to others.

However, just like this power, the price is also not something that ordinary people can afford...

"Well...even though those guys are totally no match for our boss Kevin, it's always better to have more companions than more enemies."

Padu soon came to terms with it. After all, the Star Core Hunters only offered a higher reward, and they didn't steal her money. Why should she make things difficult for them?

But why did Paddo unconsciously regard Kevin's power as her own? !

"Oh, yes, Sister Qingque, Sister Qingque. How are those children? Is the fruit of Jianmu really useful?" As if she suddenly remembered something, Paduo eagerly asked Qingque who had just come out of the hall.

Obviously, whether in Kevin's previous impression or the current one, the slightly greedy little Pado in his mind did not show even the slightest greed when faced with these Jianmu fruits that could make people immortal, to the point that those short-lived species outside would be willing to spend all their money to buy one.

Did she suddenly become better? No, in Kevin's eyes, it should be Paddo who had never changed for the better.

Her greed for money was only for the purpose of making herself and the people she cared about live a better life. Similarly, she would not impose such behavior on those who would encounter difficulties as a result.

Even though she was once called Ying Jie, she was always just a child who wanted to work hard to do better.

Suddenly, for a moment, Kevin felt that no matter whether the Pado in front of him was the one he knew, or an isotope in another time and space with almost no direct connection... these things were completely irrelevant.

"Hmm...how should I describe it? This is the first time I've seen Jianmu's fruit with my own eyes, and it's also the first time I've seen such a magical thing."

When faced with Padu's question, Qingque thought for a moment, and then said in a serious tone: "After eating the fruit, all the children's bodies emitted golden light without exception, and then the light gradually gathered on the parts of their 'lack of heaven'."

"Whether it was external disability or congenital disease...some children even had most of their limbs missing, but all of them were cured without exception!"

"This is simply like a miracle... But if Lady Taibu knew that I wasted such a precious thing, she would definitely beat me up, and then suddenly feel relieved, right?"

Qingque, who had always been praising his boss, actually praised the Lord Taibu for once. This was a very rare and abnormal phenomenon.

I'm so tired, so alone

Perhaps... this was also the sigh that Qingque suddenly made after he successfully accumulated enough merit for himself to slack off for hundreds of years in his next life?

But the more peaceful things seem, the more likely accidents are to happen...

"Cheer up, there are more people coming!"

At the same moment when Kevin suddenly shouted this sentence, he also flashed behind Pado, who was completely unaware of the situation, and kicked hard at an almost imperceptible shadow that had approached her at some point.

boom--!

The shadow-like thing plowed a mark of more than ten meters on the ground and then revealed its original shape - it was pitch black and looked slender... a wolf?

No, that's not right... This thing, like the huge monster not long ago, should also be a spiritual beast born from Jianmu, right?

Kevin raised his head slightly and looked at the figures who had stood on the remaining roots of Jianmu at some point in time and were completely wrapped in withered and yellow branches.

Their overall features were almost identical to the demonic body Kevin had encountered in the Medicine King Secret Sect's base not long ago. So, there was probably no need to guess the identities of these guys, right?

"Of course this is a miracle, a miracle bestowed upon the Immortal Boat by the Compassionate Medicine King himself... a miracle that the Demon Bow Disaster Ancestor could never create."

The person standing in front of the demons jumped off the roots first. She was not like the followers of the Medicine King's Secret Teachings, as if she was completely infected by Jianmu. She still maintained her human features, and her eyes were completely covered by a piece of cloth.

"It looks so familiar, so familiar. Why can't I remember who it is?..."

After seeing this figure, Qingque suddenly scratched his head and thought hard for a few seconds before suddenly pointing at the other party with a shocked face: "You, you are... Dan Shu? The chief alchemist of the Dan Ding Division?!"

Qingque had mentioned this name to Kevin more than once before. Putting aside her identity as a Tianque person, her title of Danshizhang was not much different from that of her Taibu, right?

Even after Jianmu was chopped off, Dandingsi's once dominant position has been declining...but it is still the only gathering place for doctors and alchemists!

If even this chief alchemist was a disciple of the King of Medicine, how many people in the entire Dan Ding Division could escape this? !

Even if not, the Danding Division, which has been eroded in this way, will inevitably be strictly suspended and investigated, and most of the medical system in the entire Xianzhou will be paralyzed... Qingque dare not even think about such a situation.

It’s all over, it’s all over. How did she accidentally get into this kind of trouble again? It seems that these two guys are complete disasters, right?

"Gray Peony, Golden Chrysanthemum...you two completed your mission very well. Very well."

The Danshu seemed to selectively ignore Qingque's exclamation and confusion, and instead focused on Paduo and Xing: "Thanks to you, those children were able to regain their health under the power of Jianmu. This is what Xianzhou owes them. You don't need to have any psychological pressure."

"It's a pity that he is obviously gone... It seems that this method can't completely break through the lifespan limit of the fox people. How did the Dragon Lord succeed back then...?"

Chapter 126: The Most Passionate and Sensual Person Falls into the Demonic Yin

Dan Shu gently raised her palm, revealing a thoughtful look - she obviously knew a lot of secrets about similar incidents on the fairy boat, but it was unlikely that she would be so foolish as to explain these to everyone.

But after a moment of depression, she suddenly raised her head, as if she had not noticed their undercover identities, and comforted Paduo and Xing: "Actually, there is no need to be too sad. He was already at the age when the fox people should die, but this way he was able to extend his life for more than ten years, and even lived to the day when the children were blessed by Jianmu."

"For him, this can be regarded as a great gift from the Compassionate Medicine King."

The "he" that Dan Shu mentioned was obviously the old fox-man who had fallen into the evil spirit not long ago... Paduo and the others didn't even know his name, and it seemed that Dan Shu had no intention of telling them.

But Pado felt that it was obvious that this guy didn't try to remember it at all!

"What a joke! How can this be considered a gift?"

The stimulation from many aspects made Paduo tough for once. She shouted at Dan Shu directly, "I finally managed to hold on until today, but I didn't get to see them stand up again. This is obviously the most annoying plot!"

"Besides, and... before I die, I have to endure the torture of that evil spirit body. Isn't this too infuriating!"

Only a few hours had passed, but Padoc still clearly remembered that the old man was so kind when he first received them, and it didn't seem fake at all.

But after she was truly trapped in the devil's body, the emotions she displayed were so extreme and painful... She couldn't even imagine how horrible it would be if she was about to die and suddenly turned into a completely different person from her original self.

"Demon Yin Body? Yes, it is very rare for a fox-man to suffer from the symptoms of Demon Yin Body, because they usually die before that."

After discussing this, Dan Shu's expression, which was quite kind a second ago, turned extremely cold the next moment: "For the Xianzhou people whose physical lifespan is almost infinite, the demonic Yin body is the punishment from the Merciful Medicine King for their betrayal... but it is also the necessary condition for the Xianzhou people to evolve again!"

"I don't know if you know this, but in the Ten Kings Division that specializes in dealing with demonic bodies, there is a drug called the Desire-Severing Pill... It lives up to its name, and can make the person who swallows it lose most of their emotions. It is also the thing I regret most in my life."

Immortal Boat people like Qingque would definitely know that Dan Shu, as the head of the alchemy department, is almost completely the leader among the medical practitioners in the Immortal Boat. She not only led the Alchemy Department to overcome many difficult and complicated diseases, but also restored many recipes that were lost in the turmoil of the Immortal Boat - the so-called Desire-breaking Pill is one of them.

"Sometimes, young people who only live for 300 to 400 years will fall into the symptoms of the demonic body prematurely due to various emotional problems... Some of them have lost their loved ones; some of them have lost their relatives... So since they are not yet old enough to enter the Karma Palace, the Ten Kings will make them take the so-called Desire-Severing Pill."

"From then on, the husband who once loved his deceased wife deeply will forget what love is, and the children who once respected their parents will become expressionless when talking about their deceased relatives... Or to put it more bluntly, they will hardly show any extra emotions about anything. They will just do whatever others ask them to do."

How can this be called a living person? After completely eliminating the essential factor of emotion, what is the difference between humans and robots?

The more she recalled and told the story, the more excited Dan Shu's tone became. Perhaps this was not just a story, but something that actually happened to her.

"Those who are extremely affectionate and true to nature will fall into the devil's shadow, and those who have cut off all affection and desire will live for a thousand years - what is the trouble with the devil's shadow, and what is the joy of living for a thousand years?"

If he could really bring the person he loved back to life, he believed that even if the people on the Immortal Boat were to abandon their meaningless life span of a thousand years, it would not be of any significance to them.

Unfortunately, the reality is... they will not have such a seemingly cruel choice. There are no angels in this world, and there are no real demons.

Either you fall into the devil's evil under extreme pain, or you completely forget all love, hatred, and grudges under the manipulation of the Ten Kings, and completely turn into a walking corpse. This is the reality on the Immortal Boat.

On this so-called immortal boat, those who are already miserable will only become victims of everything and live even more miserably - just like those people who are almost falling into the devil's shadow because of grief, just like these children here...

After hearing these words, little Paduo was immediately at a loss. After Dan Shu finished telling all this, she turned her attention to Kevin. It was obvious that she knew what was going on here and knew whose words were more effective.

"I also want to thank you for everything you have done for Xiaoyu. It is rare for that child to be able to see things in other ways, and for the time being, he doesn't have to have much to do with those of us who are called traitors by the Shen Ce Mansion."

Even though Dan Shu firmly believed that the Medicine King's Secret Teachings could achieve victory, there would be bloodshed and sacrifice in the process, and she certainly didn't want such a poor child to go through all of this.

At least in her feelings here, she is very sincere.

"I don't expect you to help us... I just hope you can leave the Immortal Boat and leave this troubled place."

Perhaps out of fear of Kevin's strength, or perhaps simply because he didn't want to be enemies with the few people who actually helped them, Dan Shu said: "I don't know how the hunting dogs of Shen Ce Mansion described this civil war to you? The Emperor Gong Siming, who represents the righteous temple and the righteous god, is hunting the evil god Shou Wen Huo Zu in the universe, and the Medicine King Secret is the claw of the evil god?"

"Is this really the case? You don't know the Compassionate Medicine King, nor do you know the Demon Bow Disaster Ancestor... But even based on what you have seen and heard right now, is it really as simple as they say?"

"...I just hope you can stay away from Luofu and all this. All this has nothing to do with you outsiders, and I don't want to be your enemy."

"As for the kids here...let them sleep a little longer. Hopefully, by the time they wake up, everything will be over."

Chapter 127: Can Kevin really take care of a child?

"Phew... I was so scared. Luckily there was no fight, otherwise I wouldn't know where to hide."

Only after those people who had learned the secret teachings of the King of Medicine had finally left did Qingque heave a sigh of relief, and gently stroked her chest with a slight feeling of fear.

Of course the bad guys still have to be fought, but with her small body, it would be useless to send her over, so it would be best to wait for the Cloud Riders to deal with these things.

"How can it be so exaggerated? If Boss Kevin really wanted to keep them here, he wouldn't be able to do it in a few moves."

This kind of emotional regulation seems to be a special ability unique to Padu. She can quickly get rid of the bad mood just now, and even has some spare time to brag about herself to others.

Even if the situation was like just now, even if the Medicine King's Secret Teachings did not say much about those things, Kevin would not choose to directly interfere in the internal strife of the Xianzhou civilization itself.

Of course, it would be best to let the Xianzhou civilization resolve the conflicts themselves...unless those Medicine King Secret Sect members are the evil party themselves, and even intend to attack them indiscriminately, then Kevin will show no mercy.

Unfortunately, the truth is obviously not that simple, and there is almost never any pure black and white in the world - the so-called justice always has two sides.

If it is not just for wolves to eat sheep, then can it be just for sheep to eat grass?

Unless... there is really something that can make all civilizations in the universe form a complete community?

No, wait... Let's just forget about that horrible thing.

Kevin shook his head, removing this terrible thought from his mind, and then he took up Padu's words again, patted her head and said, "Many times, the so-called right and wrong cannot be imposed on others from our own perspective, understand?"

Suppose, a person wants to kill another person because that person killed his father, which is understandable. But if both of them are essentially "good people", which one are you going to help?

Since you have decided to be an observer, please don't look at these things from a personal perspective.

After hearing what her boss said, Padu nodded as if she understood, but then she heard Xing beside her say stubbornly, "But the Medicine King's Secret Teachings did hurt a lot of people."

Perhaps Dan Shu, as the leader, could be considered a good person in a personal sense. But in the entire Medicine King Secret, the proportion of bad people was much greater than that of good people.

Even Dan Shu himself, when considering the entire secret of the King of Medicine, didn't he almost not consider those other innocent people?

"What about the Xianzhou Alliance? Do you think that what they have done has always been completely correct and without any mistakes?"

Kevin did not choose to refute Xing directly, nor did he even use those children as an example. Instead, he spoke from the perspective that most people believed to be correct: "Do you think that even if they are the so-called "abundant people", do they all have no exception and are hopelessly evil?"

That is an entire civilization, not a pirate organization formed by different people... Just like the fairy ship that was once regarded as the people of abundance, it was the decision-makers who decided to pursue "abundance". What does it have to do with ordinary people?

"If I remember correctly, the predecessor of the fox people on the Immortal Boat seems to be a tribe of rich people, right?"

Kevin glanced at Qingque, and after getting a nod of agreement from him, he continued to speak to Xing: "Does that mean that in this kind of dispute between civilizations that is likely to be irreconcilable, you still want to use your own ideas to influence them? Even if you really do that, why would they listen to you?"

Even Kevin also understood that most of the abundant people in the universe, while having eternal life at their fingertips, often lost their minds and became like evil beasts - they devoured their own kind, injected blood from strange beasts, became nests of collective creatures, or repaired their bodies by hibernation and shedding scales... These were all specially marked parts in the "Company" intelligence.

But Kevin was not going to tell Xing the main reason, but to tell her——

"The world will never work your way. If you keep insisting on doing this, you will either find your efforts in vain after countless efforts, or die completely in the process."

"The scariest thing is not that you don't have the ability to change it, but that you know you don't have the ability but still insist on having that mentality."

"Unless you have the power to actually change all this."

Kevin is by no means an extreme utilitarian, but the cruel reality has always made him understand time and time again what is the cornerstone for changing everything.

"But that is only a means, not an end, understand?"

If he could exchange everything he has now for the happy ending he once had, of course he would be happy to do so...but there are no ifs in this world. If I ask you to choose, would you really choose it?

After saying this, Kevin no longer cared about the dazed Xing, but quickly walked to Qingque's side and asked, "It's been delayed for so long, it's time to go find that guy, do you know where they are now?"

"Let me see... The latest mission seems to say that I should take you, Mr. Kevin, to the Construction Department to find the people from the Starry Sky Train?"

Looking at the message on his jade omen, Qingque couldn't help but murmured, "It's really strange, how come the old lady Taibu is getting better and better at ordering people around?"

———— ————

"Hey, welcome back?"

In an unknown place, Kafka and Blade, who had just walked away from Kevin, opened the door and walked in. The first thing they saw was Silver Wolf, who was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed and playing video games seriously.
