Chapter 1029: Chapter 913: Real-Name Registration Binding_2
They seemed to have learned from the Brotherhood’s downfall and abandoned tangible support.
This was a premeditated act, otherwise it would have been impossible to spread the contagion across various cities in Oasis in such a short period.
"They are provoking you, testing how many people the God of Life can save in this spreading epidemic."
Life’s counterpart is death.
In the face of this epidemic, the miracles needed by the people of Oasis were not limited to just saving one person.
The God of Life needed to respond to everyone’s prayers, letting miracles equally descend upon them all, which required unimaginable Psychic Energy as support, something even the most resplendent era of Psychic Energy civilization couldn’t achieve in meeting everyone’s expectations.
If the God of Life truly existed, then this would be a dilemma for It.
To respond to the prayers, It would need to consume an unimaginable amount of Psychic Energy, and when It became weak, the real enemies would show their fangs and attack; if It did not respond to the prayers, the hard-earned faith would vanish, and the fear of death would push the scared people towards another faction.
"This is heresy."
"Nothingness," said Doug.
Fear is also a rendition of human emotions. In the higher realms, there were those who fed on fear, but later, such actions, having violated collective interests, were strictly prohibited.
He didn’t know where those Worms got such knowledge from.
"Not only that," said Song Lan, shaking his phone, just before the news spread widely, Lu Xiang had sent a message, "The United Government dispatched an emergency medical team, and on their way through District 17, they specifically requested Old Lu to accompany and escort them."
They were truly trying every method possible, even deceiving Lu Xiang to come to Oasis.
The Brotherhood’s fraud group had failed, and now they had switched to a viral offensive.
The United Government forming a medical team at this crucial moment was not to promote selflessness or dedication, but to ensure they gathered enough information before the epidemic spread into their territory to develop a specific medication.
This medical team was essentially no different from a suicide squad.
And the Review Meeting and corporations could always think of a hundred and more reasons to persuade people to sacrifice their individual selves for the collective happiness.
"What did she say?"
"She’s already packing her bags."
Filled with a sense of justice, Lu Xiang would natuarally not stand idly by, especially since, under her orders, Captain Doug and his team were also trapped in this situation. Both logically and emotionally, she had to visit Oasis.
Moreover, she was well aware that those spreading the virus were targeting her.
"But I still don’t understand why they are so concerned about Old Lu?"
"Because of this."
Song Lan held an archaeologist’s stone in his palm. They believed it was an extension of the God of Life’s power, capable of bringing life’s miracles to the world, "But no one ever said this was the only stone."
He knew the moment he received the stone.
The stone contained very little Spiritual Energy, at most it could be considered one of the fragments, "If this were in a microtransaction game, you might need to collect 150 stones to summon the real God of Life."
"You mean they also collected the fragments?"
"The number they collected is probably much more than you think, maybe they are just missing one or two pieces."
As the initial collection phase was nearing its end, their work would move to the next stage—finding an individual who could carry this force, artificially creating a supreme being from the bygone era of a flourishing Psychic Energy world.
In the Emperor’s classification table, this equated to creating a T1 level existence, similar to what the Gene Master once was.
This would advance their plans significantly.
"But just as this wonderful plan was nearing success, they encountered a new problem."
"What problem?"
"This role, someone has already claimed it."
It was like the real-name system for accounts; if the name displayed belonged to someone else, even if they weren’t using it at the moment, they could reclaim the account at any time.
"In the real world, the only way to release the binding is to find the person themselves and completely ’remove’ their name. Only then can this power find a new inheritor."
This was precisely why they were so keen on having Lu Xiang come to the Oasis—Song Lan guessed they had even prepared the removal ceremony.
All this was revealed to him by Mr. Jack Roman.
Before Song Lan understood the reason the Gene Master’s minions were looking for Lu Xiang, he did not want to let the other party wade into this murky water of the Oasis.
"Since that’s the case, I can’t just pretend I heard nothing."
Nothingness rolled up his sleeves, though influenced by Song Lan to not indulge in fighting, but now that their friend was involved, it was a different matter.
However, as he was rolling up his sleeves, he suddenly realized an embarrassing issue and casually let his half-rolled sleeves fall back down, "Well, you should know, rescuing is not my specialty."
He could annihilate the entire Oasis, but obviously, that was not their current focus of work.
The real enemy doesn’t care about the life and death of ordinary people.
This wasn’t Song Lan’s forte either, but a seemingly insignificant piece of Spiritual Energy had enabled him to unleash the power of the God of Life.
Hmph, mingling with the God of Life every day sure made a difference, using someone else’s abilities came naturally to him.
"What do you plan to do?"
"I plan to trust in medicine."
This contagion was too unique, even if he used his abilities to reverse the deceased back to their pre-illness state, it still wouldn’t solve the problem fundamentally.
As long as the source of the disease remained, no matter how many times they repeated the process, they would still get infected.
An hour had passed since the outbreak started and every city in the Oasis had already fallen. Apart from Lu Xiang, his good friend Rosali, "the Rat", and the crew of "Dead Man’s Lottery" had also sent messages one after another, the sudden epidemic had also caused heavy losses to the Rebel Army.
"Trust in medicine? Did you study medicine?"
"Of course not, but Old Lu heard about the situation in Oasis and urgently assembled a medical team."
Unlike the "suicide squad" sent by the United Government, their professional team was there specifically to address the root of the contagion; "they should be arriving soon."
"That quick? Given the impact of the contagion, the airport must have ceased operations, right?"
"They will take other means of transport."
As they were speaking, a deep humming came from outside the window.
Nothingness looked towards the source of the sound, a gigantic eye that blocked the window, the scarlet eyeball fixated on the two people in the room.
Worms!
The minions of the Gene Master had come calling!
"Perfect timing."
He sneered and opened the balcony’s sliding door.
A massive creature now obscured the sky over the neighborhood, its size much larger than an airplane.
Seeing him emerge, the enormous beast opened its huge maw, revealing its sharp fangs.
Subsequently, meter-tall worms leapt from the giant’s mouth onto the balcony.
Slender tentacles, sharp mouthparts, clearly the elite assassination squad among the worms.
Yet, these terror-inducing creatures surprisingly emitted a gentle female voice, "Don’t be scared, Ms. Doctor is here."
"Old Void, let me introduce you."
Song Lan also came to the balcony, proactively introducing the medical squad, which had been highly praised during the Great Expedition. Soldiers from the Kunka Troops still cherished the feeling of being held by Ms. Doctor, "They are experienced battlefield doctors. They’ve come specifically to investigate the contagion, just call them Ms. Doctor."
"You—you all good."
Nothingness, originally posing to unleash his ability, forcibly adjusted his hand to a handshake motion. Song Lan’s words were like a wake-up call, befuddling him as he made eye contact with the crimson pupils of the battlefield doctors. Unintentionally, he blurted out, "Ms. Doctor."
