Deep within the cave, a figure shrouded in black mist is battling a fire dragon.
The figure was thin and twisted, its face blurred, with only a pair of crimson eyes flashing in the black mist.
"Humans! Are you going to bully the weak with your superior strength?" the Plague God roared, sensing that this power was far stronger than his own.
Then, more Black Qi was released, but it was all burned away by the Indestructible Tinder.
Sui Ren Shi's expression was stern. "I'll ask you one last time, are you willing to find a way to dispel the plague?"
"Don't even think about it!" the Plague God laughed maniacally. "The entire human race will be buried with me!"
Without further hesitation, Sui Ren Shi relentlessly ignited the Indestructible Tinder.
Flames suddenly shot into the sky from the cave, and the screams of the Plague God god echoed endlessly.
Despite his unpredictable and varied methods, he was ultimately no match for Sui Ren Shi due to the overwhelming difference in their strength.
Before long, the screams stopped abruptly, and the black mist was completely engulfed by the flames.
The Plague God has completely fallen.
However, there was no joy on Sui Ren Shi's face.
"Ancestor... is too powerful..."
In no time at all, the Plague God was vanquished.
Martial Domain Realm expert is simply terrifying.
Sui Ren Shi sighed, "Killing him was a mistake. We don't know how to control the plague. What should we do?"
The two left the cave, Sui Ren Shi, carrying Yao, flew towards the Human Ancestral Land.
Along the way, the once vibrant human territories are now filled with an aura of death.
Many villages are now deserted, with only dark, bluish-black corpses scattered everywhere.
Even in large villages with many powerful individuals, there was widespread suffering and rampant plague.
The Human Ancestral Land, the council hall.
Emperor Xuan Gao sat in the main seat, below him were the leaders of various human tribes and the other two of the Three Ancestors: Youchao and Ziyi.
Everyone's expression was unusually solemn.
" Your Human Emperor, this is the situation." After reporting on the events of the Autumn Water Tribe, Sui Ren Shi said in a deep voice, "Although the Plague God has been defeated, the plague has not been eradicated; on the contrary, it seems to be getting worse."
The hall was silent; everyone could sense the gravity of the situation.
"What should we do?"
"Our human race had finally achieved peace and stability, only to suffer such a calamity again."
" Father God, Mother God, when will our human race be spared from calamity!"
"How is the epidemic situation in various places?" Di Xuan asked You Chao Shi.
You Chao Shi rose, his voice heavy. " Your Human Emperor, the epidemic has already spread to 30% of the tribes, and it is spreading daily. Those below the Martial Soul Realm are almost powerless to resist; once infected, they will undoubtedly die within three days. Even those above the Martial Soul Realm can only delay the onset of the disease, not cure it."
The Zi Yi Shi added, "We have tried various methods, all to no avail. Only accumulating merit can dispel the plague, but..."
Merit is precious, but the merit accumulated by humankind since its birth is limited and simply cannot save all those infected.
Di Xuan closed his eyes in deep thought, and the atmosphere in the hall grew increasingly oppressive.
As the Human Emperor, he bore the fate of the entire human race on his shoulders, yet at this moment he felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness.
"Issue the order to isolate the tribes severely affected by the plague and prohibit the movement of people. Mobilize all cultivators to do everything possible to slow the spread of the plague."
Di Xuan opened his eyes, looking slightly tired. "I will personally go to see the Father God."
Upon hearing this, hope rekindled in everyone's eyes.
Yes, and there's also the Father God!
Father God, there must be a way!
In Lin Tian's courtyard, Yu Tong was standing there, her brows furrowed.
" Father God, please save my human race!"
Yu Tong is now Martial Saint Realm, but she is utterly helpless against this sudden plague.
Many people in the tribe had been robbed, so she had no choice but to relocate the infected tribespeople and gather them in one place.
As the tribal chief, he was powerless to do anything; his own strength was simply too weak.
"There's no need for that. Although this is a calamity for humanity, it may not necessarily be a bad thing."
Lin Tian looked at Yu Tong, whose eyes were wet with tears, and offered words of comfort.
Suddenly, he frowned slightly, sensing a familiar presence approaching.
Before long, Di Xuan appeared outside the courtyard and respectfully bowed. " Father God, Di Xuan has important matters to discuss with you."
Come in.
Lin Tian waved and opened the courtyard gate.
Di Xuan strode into the courtyard and knelt down immediately. " Father God, please save humanity!"
Lin Tian helped Di Xuan. "I already know why you've come. Yu Tong has told me everything."
"The power of the Plague Demon's origin..." Lin Tian murmured to himself, "The Plague Lord of later generations also cultivated this path, so it seems there must be some connection."
" Father God, is there a solution?" Di Xuan pressed.
Lin Tian pondered for a moment, "The essence of the plague is the aggregation of pathogenic energy, death energy, and resentment in the world. Simply dispelling it with power can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. Moreover, this plague law also belongs to the Three Thousand Great Daos Laws."
Di Xuan's face paled. "Is there... no other way?"
"That's not necessarily true!"
Looking at the lifeless Di Xuan, Lin Tian thought of a plan, "Everything in the world has its counterpart. Since there are plagues and diseases, there must also be something that can cure them."
Seeing that Lin Tian had a solution, Di Xuan immediately knelt down, "I beg Father God to guide me. For the sake of humanity, I, Di Xuan, would not hesitate to give my life."
Yu Tong Yu Tong immediately knelt down as well, "I beg you Father God, to save my human race. I am willing to pay any price."
"Get up, all of you."
Lin Tian waved his hand, and the two people on the ground were immediately dragged up.
"Since I am the Father God of humanity, I will naturally not abandon humanity. But how can one see the storm without experiencing the rainbow?"
Seeing that the two only half understood, Lin Tian explained, "In other words, this is something that humanity must go through, and it is also a great opportunity for humanity."
"There are many magical herbs in the Primordial Wilderness, each with its own uses, though their effects may vary. You need to collect them continuously and then personally experiment with their medicinal properties to find the herb that can cure the plague, which will then be able to heal the people in your tribe."
Immediately, Lin Tian formed hand seals, golden light emanating from his hands, and then struck towards the sky.
Instantly, the light condensed into a dazzling brilliance, then with a deafening boom, it exploded into countless points of starlight, heading towards the Primordial Wilderness human tribes.
Countless points of light appeared above the tribe, each landing on the humans.
"Alright, I have placed a barrier on the human race. The plague will not break out for the next hundred years. During this time, you will need to find herbs that can cure the plague on your own."
Lin Tian clapped his hands, then lay back in the chair and leisurely drank his tea.
"Golden light of merit?"
The two exchanged a glance, both deeply shocked.
Only the Father God could have such a grand gesture.
With tears welling in his eyes, Di Xuan said, "Thank you Father God."
" Father God is so amazing!"
Yu Tong's eyes gleamed with golden light; she had just brought the plague under control like that?
"Go, but don't forget, you only have a hundred years."
Although it consumed a lot of merit, it was a trivial matter for Lin Tian.
"Yes, Father God!"
The two rose, bowed again, and then hurriedly left.
"Ugh, it's so boring being alone. That Six-Eared Macaque Guy went out to play by himself. I told him to cultivate properly, but he wouldn't listen. I'll see how he gets back."
Lin Tian watched the two figures leave, feeling somewhat bored.
