Of course, Wang Wen couldn't possibly eradicate so many bacteria or viruses completely; that would be tantamount to curing all of humanity.

He can't even generate antibiotics out of thin air within the corresponding population.

The number is simply too large.

To do this kind of thing by oneself is an insult to science.

Unless he possesses truly limitless energy someday in the future.

Only in that way could we possibly achieve a miraculous change in the fate of millions of people in a short period of time.

Before that.

He could only try his best to suppress the plague's "firepower" through the power of heaven and earth and his oath.

To prevent it from taking lives so quickly.

Hold on as long as possible until Mo Ran returns.

After observation.

Wang Wen confirmed that during the duration of the effects of [ Unity with Heaven and Man ] and the oath, people's conditions improved significantly.

The pace of negative growth is gradually slowing down.

But he knew this phenomenon wouldn't last long; so far, the duration of [ Unity with Heaven and Man ] was only 8 hours, and he only had 3 uses left.

Moreover, Devour Heaven and Earth would reduce the world's matter, and over time, uncontrollable disasters might occur.

Therefore, it is very likely that this improvement will only be temporary.

All I can do is pray that Mo Ran comes back soon, with good news.

But just like the truth of the world, only Wang Wen and a few others know it.

Only Wang Wen and a few others knew the truth about the plague.

Besides them.

The world only knows one thing—the moment the gray tornado appeared, everyone's "illness" was miraculously cured!

Let's start with the first intelligence report.

One urgent report after another poured into the imperial palace from all corners of the country.

It was passed down to the young emperor.

The young man was moved to tears, as if his blood was boiling.

The news has been confirmed.

Inside that gray tornado was a group of highly skilled individuals.

The constant stream of good news from the world suggests that the extraordinary person is truly performing a miracle that no ordinary person could possibly accomplish.

He single-handedly saved all living beings!

The young man urgently summoned all his ministers for a "meeting".

He did not sit on the dragon throne in the main hall.

He paced back and forth without any regard for his status.

He kept repeating, "I have to do something! We have to do something!"

A minister bowed and advised, "Your Majesty, please calm down and remain composed. Do not harm your health!"

Someone stepped forward to second the argument. "Besides, the epidemic is currently subsiding, and there is no need to rush to restore peace to the country."

"Nonsense!" the young man roared, stopping in his tracks and shouting down, "Utter nonsense!"

He seemed to have a lot of anger and remorse that he couldn't express.

Standing atop the high seat in the main hall, his face flushed red, he shouted angrily, "I am deeply ashamed!"

"Previously, due to the severity of the disaster, my only thought was to seal off the city to avoid the plague!"

"You speak of a peaceful world only because a master has intervened! He is single-handedly fighting against the most malevolent calamity in the world!"

"While I was still fearful and considering retreating, the master made his move! He took the most forceful action to save the world."

The young man pounded his chest forcefully. "I am deeply ashamed! I am overwhelmed with shame!!"

He took a deep breath.

Looking at the silent, trembling courtiers below.

His tone gradually lowered. "At such a critical juncture, how dare you advise me to stand idly by? A wise leader is at the forefront, he wants to confront the plague head-on and save the people. If he wants to fight, then I will fight alongside him!"

"By imperial decree, all those skilled in medicine, whether from the common people or within the palace, shall be dispatched to ensure that every patient suffering from leprosy has fully recovered! All medicines, whether common or rare, from the national treasury and government offices may be registered and dispensed to ensure that no leprosy recurs in the cities and government offices! All soldiers, except for their normal guard duties, shall be redeployed to the leprosy-affected areas to appease the people and maintain order!"

The young emperor's orders spread out of the imperial city along with the relevant personnel.

The people of the world immediately felt "triple warmth".

On the one hand, various government offices opened their granaries and distributed grain.

On the other hand, the wise emperor dispatched imperial physicians to treat ordinary people.

Furthermore, as more and more people saw the gray tornado and their symptoms lessened, a certain rumor became increasingly powerful.

Until definitive news came from the palace.

That gray tornado was the spell cast by that once-powerful "immortal" who conquered all directions.

According to rumors.

That "immortal" was not an "immortal."

Instead, it's " the Demon ".

He came into the world to gather servants.

Curing all ailments and solving all hunger, the only price is becoming a servant of "Lord Demon ".

This kind of good thing is incredibly rare.

Now, I have witnessed firsthand how the " Demon Lord" has devoted all his efforts to saving the world for his servants, and how he has cast a massive spell across the heavens and earth to save humanity.

Even those who were not believers and did not worship gods or Buddhas before bowed to the gray line with tears streaming down their faces.

The most severely affected Qie City.

This is the place where Wang Wen met the young man who was then a "prince".

It has now been transformed by villagers and city dwellers into something resembling a temple for worship.

They have limited supplies.

It was merely a stone statue, two or three meters tall, carved by skilled craftsmen and placed atop the city wall.

That's how the " Demon Lord" casts his spell.

Unsurprisingly, it was completely enveloped in tornadoes.

But.

When the villagers saw the gray tornado on the horizon, they all prostrated themselves on the ground and wept loudly.

The new believers who had joined later asked them in bewilderment why they were weeping so bitterly.

The few remaining villagers who could still speak choked out, gasping for breath, "What do you know?!"

"Lord Demon, his spell-casting tornado..."

"It was originally an extremely deep black!!"

"Now only this pale gray remains; one can only imagine how much he expended to save the world's people!"

"Lord Demon, he is saving the world with his own life!"

After the villagers explained...

The new believers were shocked.

They were horrified, their scalps tingling.

I have never seen such a kind and compassionate " Demon " towards his servants!

To save his servants from danger and suffering, he was willing to sacrifice himself to defy fate and snatch their lives from the clutches of Yama!

This is hardly a " Demon ".

Even immortals wouldn't act like this!

It's as if a living Buddha has been reincarnated, a Bodhisattva has appeared, and the Heavenly Emperor himself has descended to earth to save all sentient beings from suffering!

The news spread.

More and more believers are joining the ranks of "servants of the Demon ".

They spontaneously carved an image of Wang Wen wrapped in a tornado.

From large-scale murals on city walls.

From small ornaments and pendants.

Everyone was fervently praying for the " Demon Lord" to live a long and glorious life.

It's Thursday.

This world is surprisingly delicious.

Wang Wen had almost dug the riverbed deep underground, yet there was still no sign of the earth's crust moving.

Taking advantage of the momentum of the plague's suppression, he secretly used an oath to increase the number of times he could use [ Unity with Heaven and Man ].

Then, I activated the skill to suppress the plague.

But then...

Wang Wen, who was inside the gray tornado, felt a slight difference in her body.

He suddenly felt a familiar scent enter his body!

The smell instantly reminded him of Ren Ruanruan he could only watch with envy from the sidelines on the 720th floor.

The taste of divine power!

Wang Wen was somewhat puzzled.

Does this mean I have followers now?

These days, can you expect gratitude for using someone else's world to save yourself?

The common people are really stupid.

Wang Wen found it somewhat amusing.

I was also somewhat moved.

They were so foolish, yet so genuinely kind.
