Chapter 931: 929: Encounter
City of Corpses (The Body)
Yi Chen, Jin, and Reagan returned successfully, and of course, William and Catherine were still carried in the form of videotapes.
As for Yi Chen’s ring, it does not belong to a product of malice, the malicious entity is completely dead, which serves as direct proof of eradicating malice.
After a comprehensive inspection by the cleansing team on [Ring World-0033], it was confirmed that the world phenomenon [Fu Jiang] had been completely eliminated, although the damage to the world was severe.
Though there was no obvious geographical structural damage, the most important population had decreased by 61%, with only 20% of females remaining.
If this were in the past, City of Corpses would immediately initiate population transfer, linking worlds with similar development and culture to slowly restore the population to normal.
But now that malice has invaded the Main Material Plane, connecting worlds might rather increase the possibility of malice merging between the two worlds, accelerating destruction.
Therefore, this world influenced by the concept of Fu Jiang will not have any remedial measures taken, leaving the remaining humans to develop freely, whether society stabilizes and the population balances depend entirely on the characters of the surviving humans.
...
Due to this event being a new phenomenon, based on Yi Chen and others’ accounts and the world damage situation, the phenomenon’s danger level is finally assessed as .If not for Yi Chen and others’ timely suppression, when the last Fu Jiang is born between worlds, male, female, young, and old alike will die, with the population returning to zero.
The entire world would also be occupied by Fu Jiang’s clone, even turning the whole planet into the shape of Fu Jiang’s head, becoming a pathology-like living world and spreading toward the Main Material Plane.
Yi Chen, Jin, and Reagan had completely eradicated the malicious phenomenon and would receive the maximum reward.
However, the specific contents of the reward would be decided after deliberation among the gods, as [phenomenon] is enough to threaten the existence of gods, and removing such a level of malice is extremely significant.
This case might even be used as an important reference above, considering full cooperation with pathology.
The specific reward contents will be provided within three days.
However, the team structure had changed, Jin’s departure was decided, not even willing to wait three days, leaving the reward directly to be led by Yi Chen.
"Won’t Miss Jin consider staying? The reward will surely be abundant, you still Combine with Mi Buddha’s relic which might help you gain access to Jile Realm, or even to obtain a temple in a Divine Domain solely belonging to you, to assist your Divine Status construction.
You could even start cultivating disciples in advance and preach in the world to gather belief."
Golden Lung Venerable forcefully suppressed the laughter in his body, trying to persuade Jin to stay with an elder’s stance.
But Jin’s response was only one sentence: "Can the gods kill malice?"
When Golden Lung Venerable did not provide an answer immediately, Jin had already turned and left, heading toward the World Gate leading straight to pathology.
The Heavenly Venerate watched Jin’s departing figure, touched his beard, "It seems Miss Jin was deeply affected... However, her choice might be right. We truly have no way to stop the proliferation of malice, perhaps only by relying on pathology can the situation be reversed.
You’re not thinking of returning too, are you?"
Yi Chen replied, "Not returning for now."
"That’s good, but there’s one more thing that needs to be made clear to you in advance.
Last time, didn’t I provide you with three relatively suitable phenomenon tasks? You directly chose two of them.
Currently, you’re considered returned, but Lorrian, who faced the nightmare phenomenon alone, has not been heard from, and the escape calls we made to him were unanswered, with the corresponding world in a global sleep state.
However, the number of deaths during sleep is significantly decreasing, indirectly indicating Lorrian is suppressing the body of the nightmare phenomenon.
Do you want to go to that world now to provide dream assistance? Facing such a severe phenomenon alone is too strenuous."
Yi Chen directly refused with a wave, "This is Lorrian’s own choice; if we really go over to assist, it would mean we don’t trust him. According to Lorrian’s personality, he might even attack us, so I recommend you don’t privately send anyone over there, just leave it to him.
He can handle this matter himself."
Golden Lung Venerable didn’t intend to intervene in this matter anyway since the entire Divine Domain couldn’t spare manpower.
"Alright then, since this is the case, to express my gratitude, tonight I will personally invite you to enjoy food in a special restaurant."
"How special? If it’s just ordinary, don’t waste time."
Yi Chen did not intend to relax, he only wanted to return to the hotel room early and continue Hanging.
"The restaurant exists in a space fissure, only a Middle Rank god can have a reservation. Ordinary Lower Rank gods must obtain invitations or make great contributions in advance to dine there.
The chefs from different worlds represent the highest culinary skills of their respective worlds; after being bestowed with Artificial Divinity, they continue to concentrate on cooking.
Moreover, the head chef is a self-forged divine existence, on par with me.
Just dining there, all the body’s injuries, whether recent or long-term, will be completely healed, and the concept of food will be redefined for the individual.
For someone preparing to go to the [Sunken Death Temple], this meal might provide notable assistance."
Upon hearing Sunken Death Temple, Yi Chen’s eyes changed, "Old Deng, you figured it out?"
"The impurities in your breath are mixed, only occurring before reaching the death temple, along with the Forbidden Object you obtained earlier, it’s easy to deduce you have already arrived there.
But the Seal there won’t be easy to open."
"Lead the way quickly then."
"This time, you’re not the only ones invited; there are others present."
"Who? Other gods? If anyone wants to chat with me and inquire about matters related to the Black Sea, I won’t accompany them."
"Don’t be so wary, Yi Chen. They aren’t other gods; you know them."
"Patient?"
"The leftover phenomenon task [Fish] you all chose last time was completed by a special patient squad in a short time; they even transmitted a signal through special means ahead of us, returning here a day earlier than you."
"Special patient squad?"
"Yes, it’s a squad sent from Pathology World to prove their strength for better negotiation conditions, I must admit they’re indeed strong."
"Plague Master?"
"No Plague Master, but only second to one."
At this point, Yi Chen could roughly guess who it was, as there were very few people just below the Plague Master in Pathology World, and he knew the two most famous ones.
"I’ve already brought them over two hours ago; with you two, it’s not too many."
"Oh? So Reagan and I are redundant."
"All the same~ all the same."
Following Heavenly Venerate, they swiftly walked through city streets, like traversing a maze, passing through several streets to arrive at the street’s end blocked by thick fog and high walls.
"The restaurant is hidden in front of you, do you have the ability to find the entrance?"
Just as Heavenly Venerate asked, Little Grape crawled out from Yi Chen’s collar,
with Evil Sun’s Eye spitting from his mouth,
the heat like the sun instantly dispelled the fog, turning the wall into Embers scattering, revealing a giant hollow iron gate, the two sides of the gate connected by cables to puppet avatars.
"True Jin Haohua Lung Venerable identity verified, would you like to add two additional ’God-like’ participants to the already scheduled banquet?"
"Yes."
"Please wait."
The door opened, led by a puppet attendant, they were directed to their designated suite.
The paths they walked were all set in a space fissure, like walking in a hallway shrouded by mist, ensuring no encounter with other suite diners.
The mist dispersed, the door opened.
The luxurious restaurant appeared in front of them, and though most Patients sitting at the long table were unfamiliar, the one sitting in the C position was very familiar to Yi Chen.
"Great Emperor."
"Yi."
Great Emperor was one of the strong individuals Yi Chen acknowledged in his heart, and just as Yi Chen was about to walk over,
the seat on the edge suddenly moved, a woman with a single goat horn quickly ran over, arms wide open, full of excitement and happiness. .
"William brother!"
