Chapter 1777 – Becoming a God?
Lin Qiye stayed in place.
”Old Death?” After an unknown amount of time, he snapped back to his senses, grabbed Yue Jiulin’s shoulder, pointed at the ward, and said, “Old Death? He hasn’t even turned eighteen this year! You’re telling me he’s going to die of old age?”
”Commander Lin …… Commander Lin, calm down first.” Yue Jiulin spoke helplessly, “Mr. Yuzuru Pear’s body, has already been repeatedly pressed many times, even if you had stabilized him with medicinal agents now, his damage can’t be avoided, and in a sense, one year of his physiological age is equivalent to six or seven years old for an ordinary person.
Nowadays, the organs in his body have already failed to a level no less than that of a hundred year old man, and if he didn’t have ceiling level spiritual power to hold him up, I’m afraid that he wouldn’t be able to live at all.”
Lin Qiye opened his mouth but couldn’t utter a single word.
Pretty much the same words he had heard from An Qingyu when he was in the “Human Circle”, but after so many years, Yuzuri Takeru didn’t seem to have any abnormalities, so much so that he had forgotten all about it.
”Then what else can be done to save him now?” Lin Qiye asked with a frown.
Yue Jiulin shook his head, “His body functions are failing, it’s already an irreversible process, just like we can’t stop a person from naturally dying of old age, there isn’t any way to …… prepare for Mr. Yuzurashi’s afterlife in his case.”
With Yue Jiulin’s departure, only Lin Qiye was left standing alone in the pale corridor for a long time.
The ticking of the clock echoed in the corridor, and he took a deep breath, still stepping into the hospital room.
”Brother Seven Nights.”
On the snow-white hospital bed, a white-haired teenager who looked like a painting smiled weakly, his body was plastered with wires to test his signs, and one of his hands was hooked up to an IV drip, as if he had returned to his time in the [Pure Land] in a trance.
Lin Qiye looked at him in a complicated manner, “You’ve long since noticed, right?”
”Well …… but my physical situation, I’m very clear, even if I say it, it won’t change anything.” Yuzuri Takeru Bai turned his head, looked at the stars in the sky outside the window, and softly said, “Back then, if it wasn’t for Brother Seven Nights you guys desperately trying to save me, I would have died of illness in the ‘human circle’…… It was you guys who brought me out of the lab and saw what the world really model.
To be able to have these few years of wonderful life, I am already very contented, to say that I still want to do something in the end …… maybe it is to play the game with you guys once again before I leave. In fact, when I first arrived in Daxia, I always wanted to do this, but then you all were too busy.
So busy that in the end, only you and Brother Qingzhu were left here ……”
Yuzuri Takeru’s voice became smaller and smaller, and after a moment, he shook his head and smiled, “Anyway, this wish has been realized today, so I don’t have any regrets.”
Lin Qiye stood by the side of the hospital bed, looking at that pale teenager’s face, for a moment not knowing what to say.
After returning to Daxia from the “human circle”, they entrusted Yuzuri-Taki Bai to Zuo Qing, after all, the task of the special squad was too heavy, they couldn’t take this child with them, and then too many things happened, they didn’t have much of a chance to go and see him …….
”It’s all my fault.” Lin Qiye looked at the [Divine Scourge] by the window, guilt surfaced in his eyes, “I promised your sister that I would take good care of you ……”
”What are you saying, Brother Seven Nights.” Yuzuri-Takubai laughed, “You also have your own things to do, besides, I’ve been living a good life these past few years ah, I don’t worry about food and drink, I have endless games to play, and I’ve also gotten to know Uncle Seki and a few of their seniors who take care of me very well, all of these were brought to me by you.”
Yuzuri Takeru Bai looked like she remembered something, with her hand hanging on the drip, she picked up the long black and gold sword from the window and handed it over to Lin Qiye’s hand.
”Brother Seven Nights, there are only two people in the world who can use this blade, one is me, and the other is you …… In fact, from the very beginning, it should have followed you, it’s just that you don’t feel comfortable with me being alone in Daxia, and you want to let my sister come to accompany me.
When I leave, you remember to take it away, don’t let my sister be alone.”
”Don’t be in a hurry, Takibai, there might be another way.” Lin Qiye didn’t accept the [Divine Scourge], he gently put Yuzuru Takiwhite’s hand down, “You rest here first, I’ll figure out the rest.”
After saying goodbye to Yuzuru Takeru, Lin Qiye quickly stepped out of the hospital room and ran into Shen Qingzhu who had rushed over.
”How’s it going?” Shen Qingzhu asked.
Lin Qiye briefly explained his situation, and Shen Qingzhu’s brows immediately furrowed.
”Organ failure …… Why don’t we try to give him a new physical body? Didn’t the Celestial Court say earlier that it was cultivating the kind of black flower that could carry souls?”
Lin Qiye shook his head, “The Celestial Court is indeed cultivating it, but now that all the gods of the Great Summer have fallen into slumber and self-exiled themselves to the depths of the universe, there’s no such thing on Earth ……”
”What about miracles?”
”It might work, but Takibai’s case is after all a natural old age death, the probability of success is not high, so we can only give it a try.”
Lin Qiye pondered for a moment and sighed helplessly, “Maybe in the end, we can only let Hu Jia make the trip …… But whether or not this child is willing to live forever in spirit is still a question.”
Just as the two were discussing, a figure hurriedly came from the end of the corridor.
”Where’s Takibai?” Sekai was wearing a plaid shirt, and his expression under the duck-tongued cap was somewhat anxious.
”Resting inside.” Lin Qiye repeated the situation again.
Guan Zai fell into deep thought after hearing this:
”I do have a way that might allow him to live without having to board in someone else’s mind. ……”
Hearing this, Lin Qiye brightened up, “What method?”
Guan Zai took a deep breath and slowly spat out two words:
”Become a god.”
Lin Qiye and Shen Qingzhu froze in place at the same time, “Become a god?”
”That’s right, as long as he can become a god, he might be able to get rid of his physical defects and continue living in this world.”
”But he doesn’t have any laws nowadays, how can he become a god? The most crucial thing is that even with the laws his physical body won’t be able to carry them, he’ll transform into a Taoist soul.” Lin Qiye said with a straight face.
”Don’t forget that his ability is [Game].” Guan Zai spoke slowly, “He can bring virtual game items into reality, why can’t he turn into data and enter the world of the game? As long as he becomes a god in the form of data, he naturally won’t need a physical body to carry it.
At that time, he can also completely get rid of the limitations of matter, and truly be free to live forever in the game world, becoming the unique …… God of Games in the world.”
