TSIAGBICATMWI Chapter 207

Chapter 207: A Glimmer of Hope

Xing Fengshan Xing Jingshan walked to Su Qingya’s side and asked, “How is he at your Second Research Institute?”

“Ah Ye brought him back.”

Su Qingya wasn’t in the mood for more conversation, and Xing Jingshan tactfully went to find Shen Ye to understand the situation.

Cheng Xie had already caught up with Luo Wushang, and the two disappeared around the corner.

Some curious individuals wanted to follow them to see what this “life for a life” was all about, but they were stopped by an invisible barrier.

The two who had disappeared had now arrived at the intensive care unit where Xie YunChuan was being kept. Cheng Xie brought up the old topic again: “You know, even if you give up yourself to bring back Xie YunChuan, it won’t let him go. The result will be the same.”

No, to be precise, the result would be the same for Xie YunChuan, but it would be very different for the world.

The method to save Xie YunChuan was simple. Since even the healing power of the Wood Spirit Jīngpò (Crystal Soul) couldn’t save him, the only feasible method was—the Wood Spirit Jīngpò (Crystal Soul)!

It was salvageable because the Wood Spirit Jīngpò’s powerful life force could guarantee the host’s immortality. As long as Luo Wushang transferred the Wood Spirit Jīngpò to Xie YunChuan, the moment the ice seal was released, the Wood Spirit Jīngpò could raise that last breath and inject vitality back into the body.

And with the Wood Spirit Jīngpò as a powerful source of energy, the virus in Xie YunChuan’s body would be insignificant.

Saving him wouldn’t save him because of it—the Zombie Emperor!

The reason why Luo Wushang hadn’t reached level 10 and become the Zombie Emperor was entirely because the Wood Spirit Jīngpò in his body was suppressing the power of the zombie blood crystal.

Once this long-term suppression was suddenly withdrawn, and the power of the zombie blood crystal completely erupted, the last trace of humanity on Luo Wushang would be completely annihilated.

And the Zombie Emperor, under the sudden and violent impact of power, couldn’t possibly retain his obsession and control himself from harming Xie YunChuan.

Even because of the Wood Spirit Jīngpò’s long-term suppression of the zombie blood crystal, the zombie blood crystal that was freed would induce the Zombie Emperor to actively pursue Xie YunChuan, the host.

Even in the apocalyptic world with emerging ability users, the birth of a Zombie Emperor would inevitably bring a devastating disaster to humanity.

“It’s different!” Luo Wushang knew that it wasn’t certain death, there was still a glimmer of hope.

The Wood Spirit Jīngpò controlled life energy, and the zombie blood crystal controlled death energy. Since the blood crystal was born from the Wood Spirit Jīngpò, it would naturally be restrained by it.

As long as Xie YunChuan could survive the initial strangulation, once he grew up, he would be the only ability user who could contend with the Zombie Emperor.

As for the life and death of the world and the great matter of human survival, Luo Wushang was a selfish and loveless person, unable to consider so much.

Without further hesitation, Luo Wushang reached for his abdomen, ready to exert force to draw the Wood Spirit Jīngpò out of his body.

Seeing this, Cheng Xie hurriedly stopped him, “Wait, wait, wait, don’t be so impatient, young people shouldn’t be so impetuous.” Not daring to keep him in suspense, he quickly said, “I already said I can save him, if I say I can save him, then I really can. How could I disregard the survival of humanity and let you save him like this?”

“I thought that was your intention, aren’t you like that?” Luo Wushang had also heard some of Cheng Xie’s “glorious” deeds.

“Don’t forget, I’m also human. If humanity is destroyed, will there still be me? I can’t even let myself off, can I?”

“Can’t you?” Luo Wushang glanced over, his gaze like a tangible substance, directly penetrating Cheng Xie’s core.

Cheng Xie retracted his arm and took a step back, “You’ve really misjudged me on this. My glorious deeds still need someone to record them, and my great merits need to be spread by the world. It’s still very necessary for humanity to continue!”

Luo Wushang temporarily stopped his movements, “Stop talking nonsense, what’s the method?”

With the crisis temporarily resolved, Cheng Xie breathed a long sigh of relief and took half a step back before leisurely saying, “Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, the five elements generate and restrain each other. In reality, the Wood Spirit Jīngpò isn’t the most powerful. There’s only a difference in when they are born and how quickly they grow. It’s just that this special time of the apocalypse happens to coincide with the unique properties of the Wood Spirit Jīngpò, so it’s the most useful to humans, and it’s become the most powerful.”

In terms of attack power and destructive power, the Wood Spirit Jīngpò is actually the most gentle.

“Get to the point.” Luo Wushang’s patience had long been exhausted, and he didn’t have time to listen to the great principles of cause and effect.

Cheng Xie had no choice but to cut to the chase: “In short, if you gather the remaining four Water, Fire, Gold, and Earth Jīngpò (Crystal Soul), you can use them to powerfully seal the Zombie Emperor and give Xie YunChuan time to grow.”

Luo Wushang didn’t hesitate: “Can we start now?”

Cheng Xie squeezed his eyes shut and took a deep breath before opening his mouth: “Start what start? Did you miss something I said? You need to gather four Jīngpò (Crystal Soul), four Jīngpò (Crystal Soul), not crystal cores. Are they all gathered before you start?”

Cheng Xie felt that even a gentle and patient kind old man like him was being driven insane.

Hearing this, Luo Wushang was about to walk out again without a word.

Cheng Xie had a headache. He was really angry. Sure enough, the generation gap between creatures was insurmountable, and communication between humans and zombies was impossible.

Helpless and unable to leave him alone, he called out to him with a hopeless expression: “What are you doing now?”

Luo Wushang said seriously, “I’m going to kill Su Nanzhi and take the Water Spirit Jīngpò.”

Cheng Xie: “…….!”

He approved of solving problems through killing, but that was only in situations where experiments were needed, which was called glorious sacrifice, contributing to the great research of the human world.

But you can’t just kill people randomly!

He was too lazy to say anything, “Alright, alright, you go find the Gold Spirit Jīngpò, I’ll take care of Su Nanzhi, um, I’ll definitely get the Water Spirit Jīngpò before you come back, okay?”

Luo Wushang stretched out a hand and placed it in front of Cheng Xie, palm open, revealing a glittering golden bead.

Needless to say, it was the Gold Spirit Jīngpò.

Cheng Xie had only sensed that the Fire Spirit Jīngpò and Earth Spirit Jīngpò were in the Lijian Mountains, and hadn’t realized that the Gold Spirit Jīngpò was actually on Luo Wushang.

“Okay, it’s all gathered, you take him to the Lijian Mountains and wait for me, I’ll be there soon.”

“How long?”

“How long what?”

“How long to wait?”

“Ten minutes, ten minutes will do, right?” Cheng Xie impatiently urged, “Hurry up, hurry up.”

Why was this kid so stubborn and inflexible? Ugh~! He must have damaged his brain with the virus.
