Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Ding was shocked upon seeing an empty cabin. He had no memory of what had transpired. The last picture he had in his mind was him slitting his wrists to let blood out, using the taboo Art of Blood Sacrifice to call upon the weapon spirit within the god item. He did not even know if he had successfully summoned the weapon spirit, nor was he aware of the results of the battle.

“What happened?” His question was pointed at his lone appearance in the spaceship’s cabin while the rest had disappeared.

“Lili and Elsa brought Biggie and Tagore away to get treated,” Neptune finally explained. His words carried a grim undertone.

Gu Ding quickly noticed the emotions in Neptune’s words. Neptune never attempted to conceal its feelings. Gu Ding quickly continued asking, “What happened after that?”

“The doctor conducted seventeen hours of operation on Biggie and helped repair the wounds he suffered, but the remaining God Source within Biggie’s body is still doing damage to him. The doctor said even with the support of the cell repair, he won’t be able to last more than a month...” Neptune finally revealed the truth. “We’ll just get him a better doctor!” Gu Ding thought that this was because of the doctor’s inability.

“It’s pointless. This isn’t because of the doctor’s ability. It’s because Biggie is still made of blood and flesh. His body is unable to sustain the corrosion caused by the God Source. A real deity is of God status. The God Source in their body and the God Source in a demigod’s body has a slight difference in their composition. There is a mark of Deity Position within their God Source. Under normal circumstances, only a deity would be able to extract it from a body. Some stronger demigods would be able to exterminate the mark and mould the God Source, but it would require a few years, even decades, for that to work.”

“I knew from the very start that this doctor wouldn’t be able to treat Biggie. I got Lili and the others to bring him there mainly for the doctor to put together Biggie’s bones, making sure he lives. The severity of Biggie’s bone fractures can only be put together by this one person in the entire Faye Cosmic Nation. I didn’t tell Lilliath and Elsa the entire truth because I was afraid it would make them too depressed, ultimately affecting Biggie’s treatment.”

“There’s something else that I had not expected. Tagore’s physique is quite unique and it is impossible for him to get treatment here as well. I originally planned for him to go into operation with Biggie to try to fix the terrible situation happening in his body. Turns out, the defense automatically generated from his body made it impossible to operate on him. However, we’re lucky that his body is not in a critical state. We still have time to figure something out.”

Gu Ding frowned slightly after listening to Neptune’s explanation. “Where are they now? I’ll go look for them!”

“I’ve given them disguises and new identities. You shouldn’t create more complications at this time. If you there’s anything you need to say, do it through the communicator. The entire crew is at its weakest now and we need to do our best to cover our tracks while getting Biggie and Tagore treated. The most important thing is that your ability may seem to be stronger now, but it’s not to the extent that you think because your Righteous Force has been completely converted into God Source. The Ultimate Arts is not suited to be fueled by an energy system such as the God Source. Your enhancement effect of three hundred and twenty times is no longer in effect. Besides that, your Bronze Grade Combat Armor’s five times enhancement is also no longer usable as your combat effectiveness is beyond its limit. Your current basic combat effectiveness is at a hundred million points. You need a Combat Armor of Silver Grade or above,” Neptune gave its opinion.

Gu Ding went silent for a while after listening to Neptune. “Let’s call Lili and the others first. Let me ask them about the latest updates. We’ll discuss the other matters later.”

Neptune immediately dialed Lilliath’s number.

Lilliath was taken aback when she saw Gu Ding’s number, but she quickly composed herself as the caller might not be Gu Ding, but Neptune. She picked up the call immediately.

“Lili, what’s happening over there right now?” Gu Ding asked a little anxiously.

Lilliath almost cried when she heard Gu Ding’s voice. “Gu Ding, you’re okay?”

“I’m fine. I just woke up. Neptune told me about what happened to Biggie and Tagore. How are they doing?”

“The doctor said... There’s no way to treat Tagore and Biggie. As for Biggie... He won’t be able to live past a month...” Lilliath sobbed as she said. She finally let it all out when she heard Gu Ding’s voice, unable to hold anything in.

When Elsa heard her crying, the tears started to well up in her eyes as well. She placed her hand over Lilliath’s hand and quietly comforted her.

Gu Ding had never thought Biggie would be so seriously hurt. He paused awhile before he finally asked, refusing to give up, “Did the doctor say if there was anything else we can do to help with Biggie’s wound?”

When Elsa heard Gu Ding’s question, she thought back to the doctor’s words before answering, “I remember something. He said only Her Highness The Lord, who is now a deity, might be the only person in the entire Faye Cosmic Nation who is able to heal Biggie. This is because the God Source in Biggie’s body has been continuously destroying his body. Someone would need to expel the God Source from him.”

“Elizabeth...” Gu Ding frowned slightly when he heard this answer. He might have had some dealings with Elizabeth but they were not friends. In fact, they were enemies from different camps. The last time he dealt with Elizabeth, she had clearly stated that the next time they met, they would be enemies.

“Gu Ding, there is no need to even consider this. It would be equivalent to sending yourself to your death. The Royal Capital Sector Elizabeth is in, is the star sector with the most powerhouses in the entire Faye Cosmic Nation. There are close to a hundred demigods there. Besides Elizabeth, it is also guarded by another deity. Moreover, the Royal Capital Sector and the Faye Cosmic Nation Army headquarters are neighboring star sectors. It would take less than half an hour for the army to gather there. The most important thing to pay attention to, is that one would need to go through very strict and thorough checks in order to get into the Royal Capital Sector. You won’t be able to slither your way through. Even if you managed to get in somehow, you would end up getting killed by a group of demigods before even seeing Elizabeth,” Neptune immediately tried to talk him out of it, not wanting Gu Ding to take this risk.

“Lili, I’ll put on a mask as a disguise and go over to you. I’ll bring some food for you too. Is there anything you’d like to eat?” Gu Ding said as he put on the mask of a young man.

“Nothing. Elsa and I don’t really have an appetite. Elsa only had a piece of bread in the afternoon,” Gu Ding realized both girls must be feeling really down during this time when he heard Lilliath’s reply.

“Okay. I’ll bring over something light,” Gu Ding put on his mask and checked his reflection by projecting his image. He hung up after making sure everything was in place. He returned to his room and found himself a set of clothes he had not worn before. Lilliath had bought it for him. After changing his clothes and putting on a wig, Gu Ding looked at himself in the mirror. He finally left the spaceship after seeing that he could no longer recognize himself.

It was twenty minutes later when Gu Ding found the private clinic from the map.

The clinic was not large and Gu Ding found operating room No.1 very quickly. He waved the pack of dinner in his hands at Lilliath and Elsa, who had on their disguises and looked totally different. With that, the two girls knew that the blue-haired young man was Gu Ding.

“They are planning to move Biggie into the cell repair berth. Only by staying in the cell repair berth will Biggie be able to last a month. Tagore is immune to all medication, so he won’t be able to be operated on,” Lilliath took over a small piece of cake from Gu Ding’s hands as she forced a little smile.

Gu Ding nodded. “I’ve heard. Don’t worry. They’ll be fine.”

After passing the food over to the girls, he walked toward House, who was in the operating room. House had on a big, white robe, and he looked quite mature. Gu Ding guessed this must be the person who had operated on Biggie. “Thank you! I’d like to ask if we can buy this extra-large cell repair berth from you.”

“It would be much cheaper to rent. Are you sure you want to buy this?” They rarely used a cell repair berth of this size and it came in a set when they first purchased it. Biggie was basically the first person to use it.

“Yes. We don’t want to waste too much time. I’ll try to find another way to help him with the treatment, but we would need your cell repair berth to sustain his life for as long as possible. Moreover, the chance of us returning to Medicinal Stone is not high, so...” Gu Ding raised an eyebrow at this point.

“I have no idea what sort of trouble you have gotten yourselves into that forced a deity’s hand, and I’m not concerned over it. However, as a doctor, there’s a need for me to clarify some things. If he sustains another attack in his current condition, it will be fatal. Even if he recuperates in peace, he would be left with less than a month to live,” House could tell easily that the God Source left in Biggie did not belong to a demigod, but a real deity. He had some questions in his mind, but he did not try to find out the identity of Gu Ding and the others, nor did he want to find out what had happened to them.

“I understand, thank you!” Gu Ding nodded.

Gu Ding waved the two girls over after he was done with the hospital discharge procedures. They placed Biggie and Tagore into the cell repair berth and Gu Ding carried the extra-large cell repair berth out of the private clinic.

It took less than half an hour for three of them to return to the spaceship. Gu Ding placed the cell repair berth in the living room, making it easier for anyone to access if there were any changes.

“Gu Ding, spiritual healer Orm’s junior, Dockett is also in this cosmos, and he’s a doctor too. Let’s pay him a visit!” Neptune suddenly suggested.

“He has a special ability, doesn’t he?” Gu Ding vaguely remembered someone like that.

“That’s right. He has the ability of negative state transfer, but I’m not sure how effective it is when dealing with God Source,” Neptune was not entirely sure, but giving this a try was a much better plan than Gu Ding barging into the Royal Capital Sector.

“However, I will need you to purchase a new energy source for the spaceship before we do this...”
