Chapter 594: Chapter 433: Don’t Bully the Old Man

“The heart of this old myth is really dark,” Lu Yuan murmured to himself, “Are you deceiving the Underground Alliance non-stop just to treat yourself?”

“And putting pressure on them by saying you’ll die within a few years? Your conscience is utterly rotten.”

[What deception have I carried out? Aren’t these the very people I saved?] The Ancient Insect retorted angrily, [Isn’t the knowledge I passed down? Didn’t I provide much of the materials? Where exactly is my conscience bad?]

After giving it so thought, Lu Yuan seed to agree: “If you can hold on for another ten thousand years, you might indeed be savable.”

“Please cooperate and try your best to endure the pain. Shall I explain the specific principles of the treatnt?”

The ancient voice beca robust once again, as if bearing the weight of ages: [No need, since I’ve allowed you to treat , I choose to trust you. Use whatever thods you deem necessary.]

[I am rely a wretch, clinging to life until the Ninth Epoch. If I die, it may be fine for the new myths to take over…]

“Take over what?”

[I can’t rember…]

In a solemn tone, it said: [I have guarded this land for so many years, if not for rit, at least for my hard work… If you save , perhaps, I may recall.]

Instantly, Lu Yuan was overco with fear: “I’ve discovered this disease is a bit tricky, seems like it could infect .”

“I can’t treat it, farewell!”

[Wait… wait! Esteed fellow, please stay!]

The Ancient Insect felt incredibly aggrieved. What kind of junior was this who, in a few words, had a firm grasp on it, even exposing its nature of fearing death and clinging to life!

The reason it did not want to know the “treatnt principle” was because it completely couldn’t understand the fancy nonsense of this era!

After all, “humans live for their skin, trees for their bark,” and the sa goes for insects.

It had been bluffing the Underground Alliance for years; if its cover was blown and it was revealed to be not too clever, wouldn’t it be finished?

The persona couldn’t collapse.

[Ah, it’s not that I don’t want to speak… Spreading information ans danger… In my current state, I really shouldn’t…]

[Greedy Demon God, you must save .]

Lu Yuan fell silent for a mont, feeling that this guy was deliberately keeping him in suspense.

But he decided not to press any further.

With the existence of Observer·Ghost in this world, even telepathy might not be secure.

He turned around, instructing the nurous dical experts to assess and propose a treatnt plan.

“This is a powerful creature left over from the Ancient Era… Let’s all be a bit more diligent and co up with a reliable plan.”

“One more friend, one more way out.”

[Friend, you need not worry for .]

The Ancient Insect emitted a profound syllable, consoling everyone.

Alright, it started to maintain its persona again in front of everyone.

Such a massive form, and yet so gentle and kind… coupled with the shiny black, slightly holy giant horns, indeed evoked an unconscious sense of reverence in people’s hearts.

Standing to the side, the weepy Minotaur crowd began shouting earnestly “Ancient Insect,” “Ancient Insect,” offering their sincere blessings.

Even the human crowd was subtly affected, as if treating this guy was an imnse honor.

Lu Yuan saw through it all but said nothing, only pinching his nose; damn it, what was this creature doing, showing off its life force?

However, it wasn’t long before an expert raised an objection: “Commander, its size is way beyond our expectations. Not to ntion it has lost too much life force… the dical expenses might not be enough…”

“Cough, I’ve investigated this, its life force should be sufficient. If it’s lying and kills itself, it can’t bla us.”

The Ancient Insect eavesdropping was furious inside, New Myth, how can you be so irresponsible! Bullying an old insect like .

Tis have changed; the virtues of the past are gone.

Then a professor asked, “Such a huge beetle, who could possibly cut it open and perform surgery on it?”

“Moreover, this idealist interference is so thick, we’ll drop dead instantly upon entering.”

This professor pointed at the grey fog; the fog seed alive, forming one after another weird and cold swirl.

Any normal life form that touched it would wither away and die in two seconds.

Even wearing protective suits wouldn’t work.

Lu Yuan: “Let my Greedy Demon God perform the surgery, you all just need to co up with the details of the plan.”

“Right, have we prepared enough potion?”

The associated potions were brought in abundance by the humans.

These things weren’t too expensive; as industrial products, a ton of potion would amount to probably just about one Spirit Essence.

If truly not sufficient, sending Little Mirage Dragon back to transport so would also do.

“Roar!” The Little Mirage Dragon, realizing everyone was discussing it, roared with a vigorous spirit.

However, upon seeing such a huge insect and the eerie black fog, it got a bit scared and kept floating near Lu Yuan, a nervous expression on its face.

[Heaven and Earth Essence, I thank you for your trouble.] Ca the ancient voice, ethereally resonating.

Is it speaking to ?

Little Mirage Dragon began worshiping this giant insect surreptitiously, recognizing its identity at a glance—indeed, it was a magnificent creature!

Thus, Little Mirage Dragon imdiately set off to transport more dicine.

Lu Yuan had never seen such a barefaced and shaless person, who actually relied on their age advantage to continuously dupe the younger generation…

However, he was too lazy to bother with it anymore.

ntally intoning: “Transform!”

The Greedy Demon God began to inflate continuously, quickly growing to 20 ters tall, like a small giant.

Lu Yuan said to the team of experts behind him: “I will make it sprout so vines. Each of you controls two vines, as if they were your own arms, and operate them remotely to avoid being killed by the Withering Disease.”

In just a few minutes, the Greedy Demon God’s hair scattered, growing dozens of vine-like tendrils, resembling a sentient vine monster.

Even a particularly thick vine grew over 20 bud-like enlargents resembling those of the opium poppy.

“Enter the buds, and control the external vines as if you were in Green Grass Paradise,” he instructed.

“Everybody gets two; get accustod to them for now.”

The humans stood dumbstruck for a while, gazing at the 20-ter-high Greedy Demon God, then at the buds.

Wait a minute! Aren’t these the vines of the opium poppy tree? How did they appear here?

This was the first ti the puppet had shown this functionality…

But they didn’t pay too much attention to it; after all, in their eyes, Commander Lu was soone who could “turn decay into magic”. With such a high-level puppet, what’s wrong with having an extra feature or two?

“Let’s start,” Lu Tiantian beckoned with a light exhale.

They each lay down inside a bud.

The control thod was not too troubleso; inside was a “ida Paradise” dream space, modeled after Green Grass Paradise, with an identical operating system.

The forty-so vines were like over forty flexible hands, picking up sharp surgical knives and reflecting a dazzling light under the lamps.

[A New Era myth, fanciful features are indeed quite abundant.]

[But I don’t understand, with so many knives and such weirdness, what are they trying to achieve?] The Ancient Insect’s old voice trembled, audible only to Lu Yuan.

“Of course, it’s to perform surgery on you, to cut out the decaying flesh in your body.”

“This is an era of technology, being good at fighting doesn’t necessarily compare to having multiple functions.”

“Just lie down and don’t complain if it hurts later.”

[Don’t bully an old being like , can I have so anesthesia? I know your era must have invented anesthesia.]

Lu Yuan’s eyelids twitched involuntarily, why did it feel like this character, while acting tough on the surface, was actually timid as a mouse?

“It’s going to hurt more than you think.”

“You have to endure it without anesthesia, just bear it for a while, it will be over soon. Activate your Devouring Evolution Ability… you should have this ability, right?”

[Yes… How long will it take?]

“If you keep talking nonsense, it’s going to take a hundred years.”

Elders always ask a lot of questions when they undergo surgery, but that actually doesn’t change anything. Lu Yuan couldn’t be bothered with it anymore, controlling the Greedy Demon God to step by step enter the dense black fog.

The black fog recognized life, and imdiately surged towards the Greedy Demon God.

An odd force streaked along the skin, creeping onto his body.

His skin started to wither, age, and sprouted purple spots all over; even the vines on his body began to wither at a visible rate.

This force was exceptional, as if a pale and rigid hand was tightly choking the soul, making it impossible to break free.

Lu Yuan gently exhaled and activated the Eternal Spark.

A burst of red light flashed, keeping the accursed grey mist at bay against his skin, and the vines too were set aglow with red light.

“Although the Eternal Spark’s chanism is a bit lacking, as long as it nurically crushes the opposition, it can almost withstand any attack… it’s actually quite useful.”

Lu Yuan speculated that about three parts of Eternal Spark Energy could resist one part of the Withering Disease.

“And the abilities of the Life System, when facing this kind of Withering Disease… even a hundred tis the value, would find it difficult to resist…”

He suddenly realized that the always seemingly weak Eternal Spark wasn’t as hopeless as he imagined.

No matter what kind of [Ghost] one faces, at least there’s a chance to resist.

This panacea-like ability, now that he thought about it, was actually not so bad.

And the abilities of the Life System… were naturally extrely weak, unable to defeat any [Ghost] they currently encountered.

If he transported the “Tree of Life” here, it might actually die because of this one Withering Disease…

He patted the hard shell that emitted a “thud thud thud” sound, quite a feat, this shell is much harder than a steel plate, even a nuclear bomb could only blast a small crater in it.

[This strange red light of yours, it’s actually quite good…]

“Doesn’t this old curmudgeon related to the Gear Civilization see it’s the Eternal Spark?”

“That makes sense… The Spark has been enhanced by Phenonon Level strength, it’s normal not to recognize it.”

Lu Yuan took a deep breath: “Old senior, turn over, don’t just lie there; otherwise, how can I cut open your thick shell?”

“Or you could lie on your back with your legs in the air.”
