The First Zombie Was Born
[Light of the Three Realms]
[A ball of light gathers at your fingertips, drawing upon the pure light of heaven and earth to transform into a pillar of light that can destroy and purify all enemies in its path.]
[Learning Requirements: Level 30]
Everything seemed to have ended, yet it also felt like everything was just beginning.
Gao Yunyi sat quietly on the Divine Throne on the high platform.
His facial expression was neither sad nor happy, neither angry nor surprised.
It was as if the Light of the Three Realms that had just shaken Hundred Thousand Mountains was merely a speck of dust being brushed away.
He's level 30.
Having survived the Red Dust Tribulation, he broke through to the Golden Core Realm.
Law Power is back, skills are back, and the system panel is back!
He thought he would be happy.
But I felt no joy at all.
He sat in meditation deep within the Beast God Abyss for a year.
But it felt like decades had passed.
He watched a movie.
A very, very long movie.
In this very long movie, he is the protagonist, yet he is not.
A thousand years ago,
He descended from the sky.
He came to the Hundred Thousand Mountains of Southern Border and fell in love with a Miao girl.
At that time, the Southern Border was wild and primitive, ancient and dangerous.
He spread civilization, enlightened the tribes in the mountains, taught the Miao people to identify plants and trees, cultivate fields, and taught them methods of taming animals, raising poisonous creatures, and controlling poison.
The Miao people of all ethnic groups revere him as the Beast God and have been grateful for his kindness for generations.
He was kind, compassionate, and had a heart for all living beings, showing mercy to all things.
In the hearts of all Miao people,
He is Perfect god.
But with the woman he loved most leaving him,
He began to feel pain.
He knew that birth, aging, sickness, and death, joy and sorrow, separation and reunion were the cycle of Heavenly Dao, the natural order.
But he wanted to change all of that.
So he secluded himself to conduct research and experiments.
Finally, by using poisonous barriers, Gu worms, corpses, and a drop of his blood, he created a creature that transcends the Three Realms and is not bound by the Five Elements.
He originally intended to use this creation to break the shackles of life and death, to bring his beloved back to life, and to spare the people of Miaojiang from the pain of separation.
But he never expected that the being he created with his own hands would be a bloodthirsty, obsessive, and insane Devil Creature.
This Devil Creature possesses extraordinary power.
Yet they showed no compassion, mercy, or kindness whatsoever.
It pretends to be obedient and docile on the surface, but secretly it is bloodthirsty and enjoys manipulating human nature.
After he discovered it,
Not only did they fail to restrain themselves or repent, but they also harbored immense resentment, misinterpreted his good intentions, and backfired on his Daoist heart.
It scoffs at the compassion of the gods, despises the deep emotions of humankind, and regards the separation and death of all beings as an absurd farce.
In its twisted obsession, it believes that gods should be high above and enslave all living beings.
The joys and sorrows of mortals are insignificant; the law of the jungle is the True Intention of the universe.
Only by dominating all things with power can one break free from the shackles of reincarnation.
So he struck without hesitation.
With a single move, he cleaved the mountainside, suppressing the Devil Creature he had created into an abyss where the sun would never rise again.
Although the Devil Creature were sealed away
But this incident dealt him a heavy blow.
Disheartened,
He left Miaojiang and flew back to the heavens.
This is everything Gao Yunyi saw in the illusion created by Gray Cicada.
It's like watching an immersive movie from a first-person perspective.
Whether the events depicted in this movie are true or false is another matter.
Gao Yunyi is currently concerned about two things.
First: If these events truly happened a thousand years ago, then was the deity in the story actually him?
Gao Yunyi disagreed.
Because the version of him in the illusion was kind, compassionate, and had a heart for all living beings, showing mercy to all things.
This is clearly not his personality or style.
Gao Yunyi was aware of his own limitations in this regard.
Second: If the person who looked exactly like him a thousand years ago wasn't him, does that mean that a real god once existed in this world?
Although the gods have departed and are no longer in the mortal realm.
Yet, it still stirred something within Gao Yunyi.
In that illusion,
He witnessed firsthand the power displayed by the gods.
It was a powerful force that was in no way inferior to his, carrying a terrifying power capable of destroying the world.
And this happened a thousand years ago.
If all of this is true,
Then, how unfathomable and terrifying must that being from a thousand years later be?
Gao Yunyi's body was trembling.
It wasn't fear or apprehension, but rather excitement and exhilaration.
Although he had long suspected that there was a pair of eyes silently watching him from the heavens, now that his guess had been further confirmed, how could he not be moved?
Gao Yunyi felt that the lecherous fellow who had been secretly spying on him was the god who flew back to heaven from Miaojiang a thousand years ago.
He didn't know what the other party wanted to do.
However, he was very annoyed by the other person's sneaky and lewd behavior.
Thinking of this,
Gao Yunyi, seated on the throne, slowly raised his head and gazed up at the sky.
As if in the distant sky,
There was also a pair of indifferent eyes that met his gaze from afar.
Gao Yunyi's lips curled up slightly.
He flashed a provocative smile at the other person, a smile that was both arrogant and elegant.
After thinking about it,
I feel like this is a bit immature and childish, not like someone who's on the right path.
Then,
Gao Yunyi slowly lowered his head again, resuming his original calm and indifferent demeanor.
Before our eyes,
Despite his body and clothes being torn apart and gnawed beyond recognition by the Gu worms, Ma Yi was still alive.
But he was left with only a breath.
She lay on the ground,
Head tilted back, hands outstretched.
She was looking at him with an incredibly complicated expression.
There was shock, pain, regret, infatuation, and a sliver of relief.
She seemed to have something to say to Gao Yunyi.
But he couldn't speak.
His mouth opened and closed, and a hoarse sound came from his throat.
Only a few faint, broken breaths escaped her lips, and two streams of bloody tears slid down her cheeks.
But Gao Yunyi still understood what the other party meant.
It was a sentence that weighed heavily on her, but was as light as a feather to him.
"Young master, I'm sorry."
However, Gao Yunyi simply said, "You don't need to apologize to me. I don't care."
Upon hearing this,
The trembling hand that reached out to Gao Yunyi seemed to have finally lost its last bit of strength, and slowly fell to the ground.
Gao Yunyi stood up from the Divine Throne.
He walked up to Ma Yi, whose eyes had completely lost their sparkle.
"Dying is easy, but it's meaningless. Rather than dying so pointlessly, I'd rather be put to good use. I know you'd be willing too."
After saying that,
A jet-black Pill appeared in Gao Yunyi's hand, exuding a decaying and evil aura.
[Corpse-Shedding Pill]
[Second-grade Pill.]
[The physical body dies, the soul is imprisoned within the body, and the person becomes a zombie.]
The moment the Corpse-Shedding Pill was fed into Ma Yi's mouth, turning into foul-smelling black blood that flowed into her stomach...
Her outstretched finger suddenly twitched slightly.
The mangled body, gnawed and torn apart by the worms, healed and regenerated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Immediately,
She got up from the ground, her limbs twisted and stiff.
His bones cracked and popped, every movement was sluggish and awkward, unlike anything a living person could move, and he was surrounded by a cold, decaying, and deathly aura, almost like a zombie.
The previously festering skin and flesh began to grow new layers, but the skin color could never return to what it used to be, turning into a bloodless grayish-white.
She slowly raised her head, her pupils no longer bright and lively, but filled with a deathly darkness, and Jingjing looked at Gao Yunyi.
