Chapter 3617: plague

Hanhuang universe.
This peaceful universe has enjoyed a long period of prosperity.
Many years ago, the world of meaning arrived here for the first time, and found that the terrain here is vast and fertile, there are many creatures, and the laws are balanced. However, the vitality is very thin, so no powerful creatures were born.
The Taoist who first discovered this place came from a powerful family in the world of significance at that time. He designated this universe as his private domain.
This kind of thing sounds quite unbelievable today, but it often happens when the world of meaning and the nine supreme universes are first explored to the outside world.
This Taoist ruled here for hundreds of millions of years. Some of his family members also came to this universe. They multiplied and thrived, making the universe more prosperous, and this universe was named after this Taoist. Hanhuang.
When the Hanhuang universe reached a certain peak and there were many powerful kings, Hanhuang was expelled.
Just like many Taoists who supported the path of meaning at that time.
Hanhuang universe is classified as the direct management of the meaning world.
This marginal universe is prosperous and prosperous. From the beginning of civilization, it has been unified. There has never been a large-scale war, or confrontation or fighting between forces.
Just a few years ago, an alien crisis occurred.
It is also the largest heterogeneous crisis faced by the world of meaning in history.
Millions of warships sail to this universe.
It must be admitted that in the beginning, the sentient beings in the Hanhuang universe were panicked. They had never encountered threats and wars of this level, but in the end, they found it ridiculous. This fleet of millions of warships, except In addition to the huge scale, other aspects are completely ridiculous. The technology is primitive, the creatures are weak, and they are easily destroyed.
So this matter was hyped up to let people know that the world of meaning is still unshakable, and all power is weak in front of the world of meaning.
After destroying the fleet, two Taoists embarked on a journey to destroy the source of these ridiculous aliens.
That was hundreds of thousands of years ago.
Not long ago, the Taoist returned.
However, only one person came back.
No one knows what happened.
Hanhuang Universe was blocked.
……………………
The commander of Hanhuang Universe stood in the hall with a serious expression.
Beside him, there are many gods and kings, all apostles who have served him over the years.
In front of them, on the jade bed, lay the returned Taoist master.
It has been four months since he returned.
The Taoist master's face was pale, with sunken skin and protruding joints, making him look thin and sick.
The commander used all available methods to find out the source of his illness, but there was no result. No matter how you look at it, there is no abnormality in the body of this Taoist master. The only abnormality is... his vitality is fading fast.
Why does it pass?
do not know.
If there is a reason to be found, it is... he is sick.
disease.
This is a vocabulary that sounds strange to all gods.
What is the disease?
The Taoist gasped heavily. He wanted to speak, but it was very difficult. It took a long time to spit out the scattered words.
The commander squatted down, looked at the Taoist master, and said solemnly: "You must return to the world of meaning, your vitality, and every breath is passing fast. Four months ago, when you just came back, although you were very weak, you Life’s life is still endless, I can’t see the end, but just yesterday... I understood the end of your life."
The Taoist gasped: "How long...how long?"
"400 million years." The commander said. "But that was yesterday."
Taoist said: "Now...now...now?"
"392 million years." The commander's eyes flickered. "In one day, your lifespan has passed by eight million years, and... it seems to be accelerating."
"But... now..." Every time the Taoist uttered a word, there was a sound like sand flowing in his throat.
The commander directly said: "Yes, after I reported the news you gave to the Majesty Pillar, the Majesty Pillar immediately blocked the Hanhuang Universe, and no one is allowed to approach it, nor any creatures and powers in the Hanhuang Universe to leave. The Majesty Pillar will It will unite several other pillars to send out Taoists to explore the whole story, but it will take time and months... But in my opinion, you may not be able to support it for a few months. I can think of some ways Return to the world of meaning."
"But... order..."
"That is an order for sentient beings." The commander said.
"No...no..." Taoist raised a finger with difficulty. "No... majesty... no... let... I... go back."
The commander was silent for a long time, then slowly stood up and said, "Take care of it."
Several apostles bowed their heads: "Yes."
The commander turned and walked out of the hall.
He walked through the corridors, courtyards, and soon came to a side hall.
The area around the Piandian has been tightly sealed off by various formations, restrictions, and rules.
In the side hall, many kings are hurriedly working. There are various formations, potions, and spars. These spars are of different sizes. Some spars are only as big as a palm, while others have them. A few feet high, but without exception...In every spar, there is a creature sealed!
Or a little creature like a mouse.
Or a creature like an elephant.
These creatures did not die, but everything about them was sealed, enveloping life.
There were as many as hundreds of kings walking back and forth in the side hall. Among them, there were only a few apostles, and the manpower was not enough, so the commander urgently recruited powerful kings from all over the Hanhuang universe.
As soon as the commander arrived, some of the closer kings were about to give salutes, and the commander waved his hand to signal them to continue.
Then, an apostle stepped forward and said, "My lord."
Commander: "What's the result?"
The apostle solemnly said: "No matter how you look at it, it looks like a plague, a disease."
"Plague." The commander's tone was very bad. "How can this threat to the world threaten us? This is the answer you came up with?"
The apostle once again gave his hand: "Sir, these sick creatures, no matter how we examine them, we can't find out their problems or faults. Although their vitality is indeed passing by quickly, it is strange that some of them are After the vitality has passed to a certain extent, there is no death, which is too strange.
Based on the results of many inspections and experiments, we have deduced thousands of possibilities. Plagues and diseases were not in our consideration at first. As the adults said, we can’t believe that plagues, which threaten the world, will threaten us. .
So at first, the plague was only put there as a possible result, because we first proposed all possible results and then deduced them retrogradely.
But in the end...all the results were overturned by us one by one.
Only... the plague is left. "
