The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine
Chapter 1406 - Chapter 1406 Chapter 1406 The Whole Truth

Chapter 1406: Chapter 1406: The Whole Truth!!!! Chapter 1406: Chapter 1406: The Whole Truth!!!! The voice of the Heavenly Immortal Emperor echoed in the main world, bearing less of its inherent majesty and spiritedness, yet filled with much more sorrow and anxiety.

This cast a somewhat tragic air over the atmosphere of the main world.

“Now, I will tell you the identity of that mysterious blond man–he does not belong to our side of the universe,” the Heavenly Immortal Emperor said with a trembling voice. “Simply put, he is a transcendent being. Transcending our existence.”

Does not belong to this side of the universe?

What does he belong to then?

Huang Xiaolong and the Treasure Hunters were all confused.

The universe is the universe, why add a qualifier?

One side of the universe? One universe?

“Could there be another universe?” Huang Xiaolong muttered.

“Very well, let me put it in simpler terms,” the Heavenly Immortal Emperor said. “Our universe is infinitely large. Boundless. However, beyond our universe, there are other universes.”

“As expected!” Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaolong nodded involuntarily.

A universe beyond our universe, this was akin to saying there’s a ‘sky beyond the sky.’

For all the Treasure Hunters, it was the first time they had heard such a statement, and for the moment, their minds were somewhat struggling to adapt. In their understanding, the universe was just one, infinitely large, where myriad clans competed, and the realms of immortals, demons, and dragons stood in equilibrium.

But the Heavenly Immortal Emperor said, outside our universe, there are other universes…

At that moment, a lightbulb went off in Huang Xiaolong’s head. “I get it… Could it be that the mysterious blond man doesn’t belong to our universe but instead comes from a different universe’s alien race?”

Upon these words, all the Treasure Hunters nodded in agreement.

“Yes! Brother Huang Xiaolong, you are truly wise. Since the Heavenly Immortal Emperor said that there is more than one universe, that mysterious blond man must indeed be from an alien race from another universe! Just as the Heavenly Immortal Emperor said, he does not belong to our side of the universe,” the Sword Immortal Emperor spoke, profoundly agreeing.

“He must come from a universe that is more prosperous than ours, right?” the Purple Flame Immortal Emperor analyzed. “The universe is not unique, thus, there are distinctions of strength and weakness.”

“Dear Treasure Hunters, there’s no need to be surprised,” the Heavenly Immortal Emperor continued. “Other universes outside ours are roughly similar to our universe. I guess you must think that the mysterious blond man comes from another universe, right? Wrong, very wrong.”

What?

The analysis of Huang Xiaolong and the Treasure Hunters was wrong? And it sounded like it was terribly wrong!

“Different universes, indeed, differ in strength, but the differences are not particularly significant. Those of you who have fought with the mysterious blond man should know, his strength already surpasses that of our universe~~” the Heavenly Immortal Emperor explained slowly. “For now, let us not delve into the true identity of the blond man. Let me give you a metaphor.”

“One universe is equivalent to an organ within a being.” The Heavenly Immortal Emperor once again released startling words.

This time, even Huang Xiaolong was utterly dumbfounded…

A universe, equivalent to an organ within a being?

What kind of being is that???

In other words, this being’s body contains a multitude of universes!

“My fellow Treasure Hunters, please stay calm~~ As I have warned you before, no matter what you hear, please, do not panic. So, continue listening,” the Heavenly Immortal Emperor said with a smile.

The Treasure Hunters barely stabilized their spirits and continued to listen attentively.

“I was making a metaphor. So, continuing with that, such a being has a very special body structure, containing many organs. And each organ represents a universe,” the Heavenly Immortal Emperor said earnestly. “That is to say, such a being is composed of countless universes. Each universe is an individual organ, not interfering with each other, just like how well water does not interfere with river water.”

“Now to reveal the mystery, who exactly is that mysterious blond man? As I have mentioned before, he does not come from another universe. Who is he? Hmm… We may call him–‘Divine Race’~~” Saying “Divine Race,” the Heavenly Immortal Emperor’s voice trembled, inevitably filled with fear!

Divine Race?

“What is the Divine Race?” the Heavenly Immortal Emperor continued to clarify. “Let’s take another metaphor. If the universe is likened to an organ within a living being, then the Divine Race would be–the breath of this living being. The quantity of the Divine Race is immense. That mysterious blond man you saw is just one of thousands within the Divine Race!”

“That being can release strands and strands of breath, thus, giving birth to thousands upon thousands of Divine Race entities,” the Heavenly Immortal Emperor narrated.

“The Divine Race is actually the breath of that being…” Huang Xiaolong was astonished. “Just a single strand of breath is already so powerful, countless breaths forming countless Divine Race members, that’s… terrifying!”

The Third Crown Prince’s face was filled with bitterness. “Brother-in-law, what’s even more terrifying is–how fearsome must that being be?”

Terrifying!

Everyone thought deeply, filled with dread!

“Hehe, everyone, have you gathered your thoughts?” the Heavenly Immortal Emperor’s eyes exuded a trace of helplessness. “The universe as organs, countless universes making up a living being, and that being’s released breaths become the Divine Race.”

“Let me also talk about my own incredible experiences,” the Heavenly Immortal Emperor sighed. “Back when I first became an Immortal Emperor, full of vigor, I roamed the universe. Hmm, I roamed within our own side of the universe. I, too, had no power to break the barriers and enter other universes.”

“In my travels across the universe,” the Slayer Immortal Emperor said in agony, “I encountered a member of the Divine Race in the tenth world you all faced.”

“This Divine Race, when they first arrived in our universe, showed great enthusiasm towards me. They even promoted me and taught me many Secret Techniques, which was almost like receiving a life-changing favor.”

“I followed this Divine Race member everywhere to gain experience. It was a secret; no one knew that beside me stood a Divine Race member so powerful, it was almost absurd. In the realm of immortals, other Immortal Emperors considered me the foremost prodigy of the Heavenly Realm–ha, I grew stronger day by day. Perhaps I did have some natural talent. The Secret Techniques taught to me by the Divine Race, I was able to learn all of them.”

“But later on, I discovered that the Divine Race had ulterior motives! They were using me!” A flash of anger swept through the eyes of the Slayer Immortal Emperor.

He paused briefly then continued, “Logically speaking, having learned so many Secret Techniques and skills from the Divine Race, being used by them was worthwhile; I shouldn’t hold resentment. But–they harbored ill intentions!”

“These Divine Race members, they aim to destroy us!”

“This Divine Race member, bearing the task of destroying us, might have lacked experience. After arriving in our universe, they needed to find a being to utilize–I was chosen! It was my fortune as well as my great misfortune!”

“Eventually, I endured patiently! I did not confront them directly. And the Divine Race member didn’t seem to take me seriously, nor did they guard against me. Finally, I seized an opportunity and sealed him! I stole his magical treasures, caught him off-guard, and after years of careful plotting, I finally sealed him! But I, too, was severely injured and my life is nearing its end!”

“I know my end is close, but to protect the beings of our universe, I set up the Slayer Heavenly Realms and allowed Treasure Hunters to enter. If there emerged a Treasure Hunter capable of confronting that Divine Race member, it would mean there is still hope for our universe!”

The Slayer Immortal Emperor rushed out his revelation.

The Treasure Hunters also understood a lot.

But many things were still unclear.

For instance, why does the Divine Race want to destroy the beings of this universe?

For him, it made no sense, just like a fierce beast wouldn’t bother to crush some ants.

After calming his emotions, the Slayer Immortal Emperor continued, “What are we? As beings of this universe, what are we?”

This sudden question confused the Treasure Hunters immensely.

“Remember what I just said. The Divine Race didn’t come to destroy the universe, but to destroy us,” said the Slayer Immortal Emperor with deep significance.

“Eh? Right, the Divine Race wouldn’t destroy this universe because this universe is essentially an organ within that being’s body. Naturally, they wouldn’t destroy their own organ.” Huang Xiaolong nodded, understanding a bit. “What are we? Why does the Divine Race want to eliminate us?”

“Let’s use an analogy,” the Slayer Immortal Emperor began to liken. “In the past, I found myself stranded on Earth. Earth is a relatively minor, ordinary, and even low-level planet in our universe. There are beings on Earth, including cultivators, but honestly, they are all weaklings. To the Heavenly Realm, Earth’s beings are like barbarians living in rudimentary conditions.”

Huang Xiaolong couldn’t help but smile when Earth was mentioned.

The Treasure Hunters all looked towards Huang Xiaolong at the same time.

This time, the Slayer Immortal Emperor was wrong!

Perhaps, in the past, Earth indeed seemed insignificant, but today, under Huang Xiaolong’s management, Earth had become a force in the universe that couldn’t be ignored!

It was able to stand on equal footing with the Three Realms of Heaven, Demons, and Dragons!

The person who passed through the Slayer Realms and repelled the Divine Race was exactly an Earthling!

This was something the Slayer Immortal Emperor could never have imagined!

Then, the Slayer Immortal Emperor continued, “So, speaking of Earth, although it’s too insignificant, Earth also has its own culture and civilization. Having spent a considerable time on Earth, I developed affection for it, which is why I placed the entrance to the Slayer Cave on Earth.”

“On Earth, there is a disease which is incurable–” a gleam flashed in the Slayer Immortal Emperor’s eyes. “This disease is called by the Earth’s beings–‘cancer.'”

“Cancer?” Huang Xiaolong was taken aback.

The present Treasure Hunters were all unaware of what “cancer” was.

Huang Xiaolong explained, “The so-called cancer is a type of malignant tumor and indeed incurable for ordinary beings on Earth.”

The Slayer Immortal Emperor continued, “Cancer, cancer cells… well, that’s enough for my analogy. We, the beings living in this universe which is essentially an organ of that entity, we are–”

“Cancer cells!!!” Huang Xiaolong exclaimed.

Indeed, the Slayer Immortal Emperor added, “We are like cancer cells–so why does the Divine Race want to eradicate us? It’s just like removing cancer cells!”

“If we are allowed to keep developing, exploring, building, destroying, waging wars in this universe, eventually the resources of this universe will be exhausted. Then, it would mean that an organ within that being is gradually failing. Of course, this will take a very long time.”

Understood!

Huang Xiaolong completely understood!

They are like “cancer cells,” eventually causing the universe to decline until extinction!

The task of those in the Divine Race is to eradicate these “cancer cells”!

“There are many universes. This implies that there are many organs within that being. Each organ contains cancer cells, and countless members of the Divine Race enter various universes to eliminate the cancer cells. In some universes, the cancer cells have been completely eradicated, thus ensuring the safety of the organs. Our universe…” The Slayer Immortal Emperor was extremely careful. “As of now, we, the cancer cells, have not been eradicated yet. But, the Divine Race has discovered us! They will exterminate us!!!!”
