Chapter 163
"His personality model has changed, huh" Negri analyzed Fang Ze's performance this time. Compared to before, the current Fang Ze was much more mature and steady, more befitting of his identity as a Disaster King.
"This way, we can buy some time." Negri randomly arranged for a few germs to continue sniping along the way. Negri didn't intend to obtain any significant results in tonight's battle.
Negri also didn't intend to kill the supporting characters, otherwise, Fang Ze would have most likely gone berserk and used the sacrificial ritual of the supporting characters to break through his limit once again.
Because of that, Negri simply returned the supporting characters to Fang Ze. However, although he didn't kill them, he still infected them with diseases through his germs, which would require at least 2-3 days of rest before they could fully recover, which would buy them more time.
During this period of time, another cultivator of Spiritual Inception finally managed to release their [Origin], and the number of people who managed to do so continued to increase.
Furthermore, there was another person who was already close to achieving the second stage of release.
"He Qiao, huh?" She was the first Spiritual Inception cultivator to achieve the first stage of release over a week ago, and now she was about to achieve the second stage of release.
With such speed, I can only say that she's worthy of being the female lead, huh?
She had only been infected with the [Spiritual Inception] germs for a little over a month, so if Negri still had the emotion of jealousy, he would definitely be driven mad with jealousy.
In order to push the quality of his soul to the second stage of release, he had spent an untold amount of time and effort, while humans who still had their True Spirits would be able to quickly break through as long as the conditions were met.
A remnant soul might be able to break through very quickly at the start, but as soon as they reached a bottleneck, they would need to spend even more effort to break through compared to other humans, sometimes even having no path to breakthrough at all.
Negri didn't feel any jealousy, as jealousy was one of the most useless emotions for a Combatant. Negri did have a bit of it in him to wake himself up, but it wasn't much.
He was constantly controlling monsters from all over the world to attack those with potential, stimulating their potential and forcing them to break through faster. At the same time, he was also slowly spreading the method of Biomass Gear.
This was, in fact, another method of promotion. Even if they had perfect control over The Biomass Gear, they were still essentially germs under Negri's control. Since these people wore The Biomass Gear all day long, their subconscious would also be slowly altered by Negri, becoming more interested in becoming stronger and more ambitious.
Other than that, the little girl named Lanshan, who was infected by Super Plague, had been staying beside the collapsed supermarket. She didn't say a word or move. She just stood there quietly. Her mental illness had obviously worsened.
He was like a person with severe autism, immersed in his own world and ignoring everything around him.
Her father brought her here, so naturally, she needed her father to take her away. Ignoring the fact that her father was already dead, Lanshan just waited here.
"It's basically impossible for her to fight." Negri could already guess what would happen next. Fang Ze would find Lanshan, break through her mental defenses, then use his [Origin] and [Starforce] to borrow her power to defeat Negri.
"With her current appearance, I can take a risk and test her." Negri made up his mind and performed another self-examination on his soul. After confirming that there were no issues, a cluster of germs began to gather not too far away from Lansha and eventually formed Negri's body.
Negri randomly found a set of clothes to wear and walked towards Lanshan. With the other party's [Super Plague] Authority, she could control Negri's current body with a single thought. Even the soul germs that belonged to another type of germs could be controlled to a certain extent.
If the one who wielded this ability was the current Fang Ze, Negri would have a hard time winning against him. Instead, it was very likely that he would be defeated and lose his freedom to be controlled.
Negri walked towards Lanshan, prepared for her to suddenly go berserk and control him. But Lanshan still didn't move at all, simply hugging her knees as she sat next to the rubble, completely ignoring Negri's appearance.
Instead, he was looking at a little red flower that had stubbornly grown out from the rubble.
Negri walked up to Lanshan. She hadn't eaten anything for an entire day, her entire body appeared extremely thin and weak, no one would believe that she was one of the 10 Disaster Kings.
"What do you think is the meaning of life?" Negri softly asked with a hint of probing in his tone: "The elements that make up a human body are nothing but substances that exist in everyday life"
"Other than that, there is the deeper layer of the soul" Negri muttered to himself: "It is composed of the True Spirit and the soul energy derived from the True Spirit, perhaps there are also things that I don't understand"
"Someone once told me that the True Spirit is the connection between man and the universe, the origin of humanity, the first driving force"
"The connection between man and the universe, the connection between life and life, you and your father, me and you, these seemingly unrelated things all actually have a deeper layer of connection, just like how you saw that flower, just like how I saw you"
The aura of the Dragon of Eternal Sin enveloped everything around them, dispelling the possibility of fate interfering. Negri reached his hand out to Lanshan: "I need your ability, are you willing to come with me?"
Lanshan finally reacted, she hugged her knees and looked up at Negri. From this direction, the sun had just risen, the gentle and warm light seeped out from behind Negri and illuminated Lanshan's body, making Negri's figure seem especially great.
Lanshan looked at Negri and his outstretched hand. The Authority of [Super Plague] allowed her to clearly sense Negri's thoughts at that moment. Everything he said was true, he needed her ability, this thought was clearly displayed in front of her.
Being needed by someone gave her a meaning, a meaning to continue living.
There were usually two types of people who committed suicide. The first type was those whose thoughts were dominated by intense emotions, such as anger, sorrow, despair, honor, Alak, Ahuba, and so on. The other type were those who had lost all meaning, no one needed them, unable to find the meaning of their existence, so they naturally chose death.
Lanshan looked at Negri, her slightly withered hand slowly reached out to touch Negri's hand, then her vision blurred and she fainted. After sitting here for over a day, her body couldn't take it anymore.
Negri caught Lanshan and smiled. Obviously, fate wasn't omnipotent, everyone's [True Spirit] originated from a higher existence, which meant that everyone had the possibility to surpass the fate of the world. Even if this possibility was very small, it still existed.
