Chapter 87: Chapter 87 Inspiration for a New Gamei
The soul remnant’s speed was not fast.
But Fang Cheng was neither impatient nor hasty, casually following behind. In this Mirror Universe, the laws of the Heavenly Tao were somewhat ambiguous and unclear; in many places, even with Divine Sense, it was difficult to investigate, so following the other was a shortcut to finding its true body. After crossing thousands of light years, the soul remnant finally stopped in a star system.
The structure of this star system was similar to Earth’s, but what was different was that in Earth’s orbit, there were actually four planets scattered.
Within the central star, a Demon Lord sat, occupying almost the entire star.
His body was shrouded in black mist, tinting the star a blackish-red color, with Demonic Qi rolling nearby and his appearance exceptionally loathsome.
The flying soul remnant cheered, instinctively merging into the Demon Lord’s body, becoming one with it, then began to rapidly integrate.
The Demon Lord within the star was the true body of the Disease Demon Lord, and as it merged with the soul remnant, the sound of the Grand Dao burst forth from his body, spreading throughout this world.
His innate Dao was the Path of Disease, so every place tainted by his Dao inevitably fell ill.
Animals began to fall sick, humans likewise, and even the Heavenly Tao was contaminated with disease qi, becoming bizarre and inscrutable.
And the true body of the Disease Demon Lord was particularly thoroughly diseased.
His body was full of hideous wounds, and under the rotting skin wriggled countless tiny worms.
His face wore a strange smile, taking pleasure from the world’s sickness yet pained by his own illness.
By his side, cultivators indistinguishable from their festering bodies beat drums and shouted, their hoarse voices full of weakness and exhaustion, which did not hinder the spread of their sound to every corner of the world.
As the other was merging with the soul remnant, Fang Cheng observed him.
The other’s body was dead; some mysterious being carefully collected his body, slowly piecing it together, and used an entire world to nourish its soul remnant all to revive this demon.
For the righteous, such revival would be troublesome, but for the Demon Lord, it was somewhat easier.
And the Demon Lords of the Demon Sect almost all looked like this, choosing not to follow the proper Dao, but rather these deviant and heretical paths. Their progress was faster and their means were many, but their strength, compared to the righteous path, was as different as heaven and earth, hardly warranting serious opposition.
When the soul remnant entered the body, the Disease Demon Lord’s body finally shook slightly.
Some creatures even fed on the Disease Qi, turning into ugly, bloated monsters that then attacked the Human Clan, making the living environment here even worse.
From this, one can see that the sins of the Demon Sect are immense and vile and even dead members of the Demon Sect are unforgivably wicked and must be killed twice.
As he sifted through the information in the Disease Demon Lord’s Primordial Spirit, Fang Cheng knitted his brows.
Just like the history of light, the information within the Disease Demon Lord’s Primordial Spirit had been erased, not a single piece from a thousand years back remained, which made Fang Cheng feel the other side was quite cautious. Dead, they can’t spit out any information, and while alive, it’s even less likely. After slicing the Disease Demon Lord’s body and Primordial Spirit into slivers and burning them all, Fang Cheng began to address the world before him.
He extended his hand, and mana began to spread, his surging mana enveloping the world and starting to attempt to Repel the Disease Qi.
However, the world had been too deeply contaminated by the plague.
The Disease Demon Lord’s strength wasn’t up to par, but he was quite skilled at contaminating the world.
The Little Heavenly Way of this place seemed to be still functioning, but it was actually riddled with holes; the entire Law was maintained in a state close to collapse but could still barely operate, and a hasty repair would only make it deteriorate faster.
Fang Cheng could only infuse mana to temporarily maintain the balance, but
the finer points needed gradual repair.
Feeling Fang Cheng’s goodwill, the dying Heavenly Way manifested as a little girl, giving a sliver of merit with trembling hands to Fang Cheng.
This sliver of merit was also full of Disease Qi, and the Little Heavenly Way realized this, holding the merit, unsure whether to give it or keep it, and almost ready to burst into tears.
“Alright, I’ll take it, but this place is badly infected, and it needs to be adjusted slowly. Unless someone can enter your world and gradually repair it from within... wait, why not?”
Staring at the grayish world, Fang Cheng began to think.
Doing good deeds accumulates merit, and I also quite enjoy the process of gaining merit; the whole process is quite fun.
So let the players enter this world, then they can start doing good deeds, earning merit, and I believe they would find joy in it too.
After all, this world is severely afflicted, and there’s a lot of merit to be had; as long as we restrict certain behaviors of the players, preventing them from ’ doing evil, that would suffice.
And since the land here is full of Disease Qi and unable to be farmed, they can only diligently do good deeds.
I was still worrying about what theme to make for a game next, but who would have thought that the theme would present itself like this.
I’ve decided, the name of the game will be “Healer”!
