There were bloodstains everywhere.
And chaos.
It seemed there were very few Silla people left in the entire city.
They had fled or been driven away.
Was it because of Zhou Zhi?
Zhou Zhi never indulged in internal strife.
It was not.
"The purpose of medicine is to eradicate pestilence and make humanity better. But now, this world has not become better."
Zhou Zhi spoke softly.
With the involvement of supernatural powers, the plague eradication system of this era had reached an unprecedented level.
Yet the people had not benefited from it.
The reason was not merely pestilence.
It lay even more in the human rulers of this world—the [Medical Department].
The ten Medical Department families and Ruan Yin possessed enough power to suppress everything.
The ten families nurtured bandits to preserve their own status, while Ruan Yin had extinguished all emotion and humanity, selfishly seeking only her own gain.
They were the source of the countless tragedies in the Pestilence World.
Twenty-Three's eyes were indifferent. "Just as you said, people like Ruan Yin should not wield excessive power. Just like a doctor, whether they are good or bad is not determined entirely by the level of their medical skill. Morality and ambition are equally indispensable."
"When virtue does not match one's position, disaster is inevitable, Zhou Zhi."
Twenty-Three said lightly, "Ruan Yin may have been the strongest Plague Exterminator of the past, but she was never the best Plague Exterminator."
"You... will definitely surpass her."
"Starting with... that guy behind you."
BOOM!!!
The sky split apart.
At the center of Silla City.
The former headquarters of Life Bank.
Outside.
A sturdy body over four meters tall descended from the sky.
Bricks and tiles shattered beneath his feet, spiritual power condensing into something almost tangible.
The aftershock of the impact
