The Last Gentleman-Chapter 723 - 721: Stance and Reward
The guillotine was like the final period at the end of a story, signaling its conclusion.
The remnants of the Dark Moon that had been cleaved off fell directly, nearly demolishing the entire park.
As the aftershocks of the fall dispersed, that pervasive sense of despair and the feeling of physical separation that had spread throughout the city vanished completely.
William, in his Abyssal State, landed on the streets outside the park,
Yi Chen, with hemiplegia, fell alongside him, using a daggers tip to prop himself upright, a rare heart-felt smile of relief spread across his face.
It had been a long while since he had experienced the sensation of severing "Evil," and it was a kind of "Evil" different from the pastan even stranger, weightier "Evil" that had already formed into a vessel for stories.
Even the loss of his lower body and multiple organs didnt concern Yi Chen,
in his eyes, "Concept Deprivation" wasnt permanent;so long as one could reach a depth of Death profound enough, it was possible to reclaim what was lost.
Meanwhile,
At the top of a high-rise building not far away,
Lorrian the Origin silently watched everything happening, observed the bizarre Dark Moon, and William in his Abyssal State, his expression moving subtly with emotion.
Not only was Williams brand-new state shocking to him, but, never before as New Moon Origin had he seen such a form of the Moon.
"Dark... Moon! William has actually attached the Power of Abyss onto the surface of the Moon and performed an unreal plane inversion, creating such an exaggerated form of the Moon.
He truly is the one I had my eye on. But how are you going to deal with the problem with your eyes? Your title is Complete Shaper, and with this, youre not perfect at all," Lorrian assessed from atop the high building, just as the gaze from the Abyss descended upon him.
William, standing on the outskirts of the park, had his facial features absent, or more precisely, looked over with his abyssal belly.
He nodded in acknowledgment.
If it wasnt for the One-Time Moon Lorrian released at the last moment, even with William taking on the Abyssal State, it would have been difficult to find a breakthrough point.
Although he had put a perfect end to the urban legend, William did not immediately dismiss his Abyssal State,
since it was the last resort he had unleashed, he could still maintain it for a while, and there was still one matter yet to be resolved.
At this moment,
mists of purple haze spread,
and a cane, a Purple Lung, and a skull all landed beside William,
the elder had no conspiracies, his face full of surprise and joy!
"Incredible! Without having learned the Breathing Skill, youve actually managed to do it! Moreover, to slay a concept and end a story with such otherworldly means.
Unbelievable, that such a remote world would give birth to beings like you.
Excellent! My mission is finally complete."
Next to him, through the abyssal voice emanating from his belly, William spoke to the elder with a sound that inspired Fear, "Senior, your mission wasnt to eliminate that thing, but to select talented individuals, right?"
"Correct, you will be rewarded. Aside from this Purple Lung I carry, theres something else, something far more crucial.
Since once the Purple Lung is given, this incarnation of mine will truly perish, so I must ask you to accompany me.
Shall we discuss the details at the Lung Temple?"
However, this time William did not agree with the elders proposal, the low whisper from the Abyss echoed in the streets, "Why not just talk here? I believe Ive told you before, Senior, our time is limited, and my friends condition isnt good.
A quick explanation would be better so we can go back for treatment."
"Hahaha~ It seems you still dont quite trust this old man;I understand, I understand~
I acknowledge both your potential and strength! Apart from what was predetermined to be given to you, I will also provide installation services.
This is your special Reward for killing the Human Body Collector, the story vessel."
From within the depths of his cloak, the elder produced a wooden tag with the character [Commanders Seal] carved on it, emitting a refined fragrance that, merely by being worn, brought spiritual peace and protection.
William looked at the [Commanders Seal] character etched on the surface, noting the slight energy pulsations, seemingly a kind of identity verification device.
"What is this?"
"Commanders Seal, the wood from which it is made is one of the top-tier materials of the Main Material Plane, wearing it nourishes vitality and stabilizes the spirit. Once your world here is officially registered and included in the Outer planes, the bearers of the Commanders Seal will enjoy plane privileges.
This item is extremely rare, even in the Main Material Plane, very few people possess it.
"Take care of it."
However, William, feeling the cool sensation coming from the wood, casually tossed it over his shoulder, and it was deftly caught several hundred meters away by Lorrian standing on the rooftop.
The Voice of the Abyss followed, "Lorrian, youre often in contact with chaos, and this item will benefit the stability of your mental state.
"How about we take the rest of the spoils of war?"
Lorrian silently took the Commanders Seal and tucked it into his garment, nodding in affirmation.
The elder was stunned, "You just gave it away! Do you know the value of this thing!?"
"Of course I do, but Lorrian is more suited to it than I am. Now, before the Purple Lung gets to us, let me quickly ask a few questions."
"Go ahead." The elder seemed very patient now that a major matter had concluded.
William gestured 1 with his finger.
"This unregistered, peripheral small world of yours, even deliberately relocating an entire city and the Sealed Evil, is it because this world was infected by the Old World known as Sick Focus, right?
The first question,
Sick Focus - Old World, what does it mean to you? Why did you launch a full-scale suppression against Sick Focus in the past?"
"Plane worlds are diverse, and the Focus of Infection is one of the most special worlds in the Outer Plane,
an active world that exists on the basis of disease and innately has the ability to infect other worlds.
Moreover, the development speed of the Focus of Infection is astonishing, it has developed a system based on its own plague and biological entities that far transcends the standards of the Outer Plane.
Since the Focus of Infection has the trait of World Infection, considering the potential for it to disrupt the balance of the Outer Plane, we conducted a full-scale suppression and rule-based sealing to limit it.
Nevertheless, we still regard the Focus of Infection as Chaotic Neutral, leaving some room for development;otherwise, we would have paid a much greater price to entirely eradicate it back then."
"Chaotic Neutral..."
Williams speculation was confirmed;the Old World was not seen as completely hostile by this so-called god, but rather restricted.
"Then what about the Evil we just killed?"
"That is what our entire Plane system must eradicate, defined as Chaotic Evil, their existence is to dissolve all rules."
William raised his hand, "Alright~ the second question, you high and mighty Gods actually need to come to our insignificant, undefined, and unmarked peripheral world to recruit new soldiers. How bad is the situation in the Main Material Plane you mentioned?"
"Youre right, it is because the situation is very bad that we are forced to go to peripheral areas to try to cultivate, discover, and recruit New Recruits.
Of course, the precondition for new recruits is the ability to sense and threaten Evil.
And like you, who managed to slay the entire story carrier, that far exceeded my expectations.
However, although the situation is bad, it has not yet reached total defeat. When necessary, we will come here again, looking forward to meeting you next time."
William gestured a three with his finger, "What about that group of Gu Dragon Lung practitioners?"
"These little ones are also ones Ive taken great effort to cultivate;I will take them back with me to continue nurturing them in my Immortal Palace. As long as they can master my Breathing Skill, they can become decent combatants.
It will also be a good way to introduce fresh blood into my Immortal Sect."
"Hmm? Arent you afraid of bringing the plague in by doing so?"
"Im quite open-minded. If you wish to visit my Immortal Palace in the future, I would personally entertain you and hold nothing back."
"May I inquire the esteemed name of the senior?"
"My Lord is one of the five viscera gods, the resplendent Jin Haohua, Lung Venerable."
"Fine, we may meet again in the future if the opportunity arises. I still have many matters related to the Old World that I have yet to deal with, so I will take your incarnation of the Purple Lung without reserve."
"As I said, as a gesture of thanks, I will personally install it for you... Just open your chest and prepare to receive it."
But William did not move;instead, he turned to look at Yi Chen, who was paraplegic at his side, "It would be better for him... Yi Chens Second Body is already weak and incomplete, it would be better with an external organ transplant.
My Abyssal State does not need organ support;learning the Breathing Skill from you is enough for me."
Yi Chen did not delay, he directly used a dagger to cut open his chest, even giving the elder a look.
The elder transformed into a wisp of purple qi and swiftly burrowed into the chest cavity...
