The Gentleman at the End

At the location of the stone platform on the sea surface, a giant eye spanning kilometers suddenly opened around it, and from the center of the pupil, a dragon-scaled entity with a long dragging tail slowly emerged.

This being, who had been engrossed in research in the Deep Sea Laboratory and was one of the three plague lords of Arc Sea who survived, revealed his Fish Origin at this moment. It had been a millennium since he last surfaced.

He wasn't here because of the defeat of the Ancestor Primordial Body,

but because he sensed an unusual ocean aura, a black ocean no less inferior than his own as a plague lord.

Staring through different fish eyes of various sizes and types on his face, he looked at the youth on the stone platform battling four gods. It was unbelievable that the latter had such strength without acquiring "qualification", and couldn't be judged by the old world's level system anymore.

Not only Fish Origin,

The various plague lords who arrived here all stood up,

"In less than two years, reaching a level on par with the plague lords without relying on 'qualification'..."

Meanwhile.

Another force, causing discomfort within every soul, a white death fog drifted from afar. Members of the Death Plague Knights present all sensed something, standing upright and looking in the direction of the spreading white fog.

At the manor across half of the sea domain,

The once-calm Great Emperor suddenly stood up, entrusting all matters within the manor to Jealousy Enwei, and immediately unfolded his hundreds of meters long blood-red wings to head to the scene.

As the white death fog spread, the Patients made way one after another.

Clang clang~ amidst the trembling of heavy iron chains.

With shackles on wrists and ankles, and white hair draped over his shoulders, the [White Reaper - Balon Kasas] personally came to watch the battle under the 'escort' of the Prison Director.

To be precise,

Balon Kasas is not a Prisoner, he is now the prison warden under one person and above tens of thousands in the Suffering Monastery, even surpassing the Great Prison Monk, currently a friend and the best assistant of the Prison Director.

However, his consciousness to some extent is patched up by the Endless Prison, which when away from the Monastery could lead to confusion or even madness, necessitating personal supervision by the Prison Director.

This time, he also wanted to see how his disciple and close friend Yi Chen would deal with this group of extraterritorial 'gods'.

The Prison Director watched Yi Chen's performance, frowning, "It's a bit exaggerated~ Balon, can you do it?"

"A bit reluctantly... but I should be able to do it."

"Seriously~ when guys skilled in death like you all are so amazing, it makes me, this Prison Director, want to study it as well."

"It's not the death that is amazing, it's Mr. Yi's persistence and purity."

Just as the two were chatting, the northwest sky was dyed with a layer of blood, the Great Emperor descended.

"Balon, you're really well!?"

"Couldn't be better~ Pulaid, you've also grown much stronger."

From former arch-enemies to confidantes today.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, they hugged without any concern for the repellent nature of their attributes.

The white-haired Balon suggested, "Have you considered using this opportunity to go outside and look around? Maybe you can find a method in the outside world to completely eliminate the side effects of the Blood Plague."

"If I still have to rely on external things to resist the Blood Plague, I won't have the qualification to converse equally with you.

I will remain in the Old World for a long time to perfect the new manor, and once the empire rises, on the day I am granted 'qualification,' I will venture out and take a look.

What about you, planning to go out?"

"No... I promised to handle affairs for the Prison Director, unless the focus of the Pathology moves outward; otherwise, I won't go out in the short run.

We are people of the old era, better let this group of young people of the new era go out and explore first."

The Great Emperor's gaze also turned to the stone platform, "Hmm, by the way, this young Yi, did you single-handedly teach him?"

"I don't have that much ability... I just gave a couple of pointers, then sparred with this kid about death without anything else to do."

"Is that so?"

...

On the stone platform.

The four-on-four battle had gone on for half an hour,

The Vajra Qing Lun, who achieved an overwhelming victory in the first match, showed an extremely ugly expression, as the four 'avatar carriers' on the scene were not much inferior to him. The avatars selected this time were all young elites, yet currently suppressed barehanded with this youth and iron chains.

"What level is the evil god behind this guy?"

The Golden Lung Venerable suddenly posed a question, "Qing Lun, the difference in divinity is just one reason. Do you know where you differ most from him?"

"Experience? World affiliation?"

"[Emphasis degree], almost all life born in the Main Material Plane or associated worlds, from birth, is subject to divine grace, growing amidst various theological embraces.

You all, including my emphasis degree, are all divinity, entrusting everything to theology developed by the world."

"Venerable, do you mean his emphasis has shifted to plagues?"

"No~ this Mr. Yi also comes from our side, but he received a very special 'education.'

He had not been exposed to divinity since childhood, not even knowing what gods were when he unexpectedly received the grace of the evil god... Growing under such extreme conditions has led his focus always on himself.

Whether the divine grace bestowed upon him or the diseases he contracted in the Pathology, all serve himself."

"Doesn't this count as blasphemy against the gods?"

"Indeed, in our view, it's blasphemy, making it hard to receive divine grace again, or even inviting divine punishment.

But interestingly, the god he worships is also selfish, viewing himself as everything; that evil god would likely enjoy this young man.

A person like him, if he can truly join us, promote with us against 'great evil,' could potentially stabilize or even reverse the situation."

As soon as the words were spoken,

The Golden Lung Venerable took a sharp breath and shouted loudly, "Stop!"

With the word shouted,

The golden aura exhaled from his mouth constructed the word "STOP" in mid-air, causing everyone on the stone platform to halt their actions until the lettering faded.

The situation on the stone platform was dire,

The four 'avatar carriers' were either paralyzed, had multiple deep wounds visible to the bone, or were being held by the head in a hand blade by Yi Chen, their thoughts being executed.

"Alright!"

The Golden Lung Venerable lightly tossed four commander's seals into Yi Chen's hand.

"Once I give out all ten commander's seals, follow me back... Oh, by the way, where are the commander's seals I gave last time?"

Yi Chen just pointed to the moon hanging in the sky.

"Alright, then bring him along too when the time comes."

Yi Chen had a different opinion, "Old Wall... Senior, you should have multiple avatars, right? Since your true self is here, why not let an avatar accompany Moon Scar and me first.

You probably also want to start investigating matters related to William as soon as possible?"

"The matter of avatars isn't as simple as you think... my avatars each have their own tasks and are busy every day, no time to come here to pick you up.

However~ do you still have that Purple Lung I left you?"

"The concept is still there."

The Golden Lung Venerable exhaled a breath of celestial energy, built a staff-bearing elder figure akin to him based on the purple lung.

Meanwhile, a sliver of blood moon descended, penetrating the sky easily and landing on the stone platform.

With a crimson horn growing from his forehead, Lorrian's true self arrived, he had been waiting long enough, eager for the New Moon's matter.

"Alright, now you need to go to the central area of the plane, and during that time, various aspects will be tested, and my avatar will explain the specific situation on the way.

Make sure to cooperate well; going from the unregistered, dangerous group of the Pathology world will make the tests more complex."

"Understood."

Yi Chen turned his attention to the stone platform, "Hmm, by the way, this young Yi, did you single-handedly teach him?"

"I don't have that much ability... I just gave a couple of pointers, then sparred with this kid about death now and then."

"Is that so?"
