The End of the Extreme Dao: I Planted a Sacred Tree and Gained Immortality

Chapter 211: Fate, Killing Ashes Together, Dying

The lizard was too large to fit into the elevator.

Yuanma and Kisame, whose bodies are no different from those of humans, served Huo Ying and accompanied him into the secret underground laboratory.

Unlike the previous life, at this moment, the backup power supply in the basement has not been exhausted, and the lights in the laboratory are still on.

The arm monsters each held a dozen original characters and were staring at an instrument filled with culture medium. They didn't even care about Huo Ying and the others coming down.

Nourishing.

A puff of black smoke came out of the petri dish and the experiment failed.

The man with the arm sighed, then slowly turned to Huo Ying and the others.

"Academician Huo? And... there are infected creatures guarding outside?" The arm-monster was stunned, puzzled by the actions of the gorilla and Kisame to protect Huo Ying. After a closer look, the arm-monster was even more surprised: "So, you started the experiment again, these two are your new products?"

Huo Ying's kaleidoscope swept across the arm monster. He did not arrive early, and the monster had already been promoted to level four.

The arm monster only glanced at Huo Ying and then fell on the gorilla. As a same level 4 infected creature, the arm monster sensed the power of the gorilla.

"You have advanced! How did you advance? Isn't there any weird sound in your head?" The arm monster was very excited. He often had auditory hallucinations in his head that told him to go to Chang'an City. Now, the same level 4 infected object finally appeared, which allowed him to prove whether his promotion was correct.

It turns out that the owner's name is Huo Ying.

The gorilla was very surprised that the arm-man knew Huo Ying. Thinking of Huo Ying's purpose in entering the basement, he simply answered frankly: "What auditory hallucination? I was able to advance by injecting the drug researched by the master. It seems that without the master's help, there seems to be something wrong with your route to advancement."

The gorilla said in a gentle and persuasive manner: "Do you want to let the master check it for you?"

"He came to check me?" The man with arms hunched his body like a giant insect, and his densely packed arms formed different hand seals, which was a sign that he was releasing the power of rules.

"Humans and infected creatures are natural enemies. Even if you don't say it, I can guess it." The arm monster looked at Sarumochi and Kisame calmly: "Although you two are very strong, you must be controlled by this guy. Hehehe, you are a level 4 infected creature, but you have to obey humans. How can your life be better than mine?"

"Natural enemy?" Huo Ying smiled slightly, his voice low and powerful: "Why are infected organisms and humans natural enemies? Do you think this is your mission or destiny?"

"Is it destined that humans and infection do not mix well with me?"

"The infected are born to destroy?"

Huo Ying stood in front of the arm monster, his eyes as deep as water, as if he could penetrate the disguise and reach the depths of the monster's heart: "You have discovered it, in fact, fate has never given you the opportunity to choose."

The so-called destiny is more like a huge social rule or natural rule.

For example, tigers eat sheep and sheep eat grass.

But humans have fought their way out of this natural law and become the masters of the world.

If, according to fate, humans are no different from monkeys.

But because they refuse to accept their fate, humans can eventually name themselves "human".

"The weak have no power to choose their fate, but now you have the opportunity to choose, don't you?"

Huo Ying stretched out his hand and threw an immortal cell over.

Destiny, as long as you look directly at it, you will find that most of the time, it is fake.

Just like human life before the end of the world, from the moment we are born, we must study hard. Only by studying hard can we get into a good school and have a good job.

So, you work extremely hard and need to take leave from work to see a doctor, to get married and have children, or even to attend the funeral of your parents or relatives.

Is it the destiny of mankind that work, marriage, childbirth, and the passing of loved ones are the burdens that interfere with destiny?
This fate, in essence, is just the rules imposed on you by nature and society.

Just like when it rains and the wind blows, the strong prey on the weak.

If human ancestors had followed the laws of nature, humans today would still be monkeys living in trees.

The same is true for infectious agents.

Huo Ying's kaleidoscope flashed scarlet light: "Have you chosen to be a so-called infected creature that is hostile to humans?"

"Choose?" The arm-shaped monster had a gloomy face and a flicker of anxiety in his eyes. His voice seemed to come from the abyss, rough and low: "Fate is destined. Now I am destined to be an enemy of humans. Is it my turn to choose? Since it is not my turn, then there is no good choice."

Huo Ying sighed softly, with a glimmer of compassion in his eyes: "You are wrong. Fate is not an unbreakable chain. It is more like a net. You can choose to break free. When you start to struggle, it will definitely shrink tighter and tighter, but as long as you really dare to pierce it, you will really get rid of this burden and become yourself."

Do infected agents have to be enemies of humans?

This question is just like, do humans have to work?

If you cannot let go of the desires deliberately designed by the rules, and dare not break the way to satisfy your desires, then you will inevitably become a working beast of burden. Even the livestock owners will reward them with a few full meals in exchange for their good work. However, the beasts of burden who work hard for their boss's luxury houses and cars will have to spend their own money to buy coffee to stay awake.

"You make it sound so easy. Don't speak nonsense to me from your position!" The arm man roared, "You are not an infected creature, how could you possibly know our current state! I am like this because of your experiment, Academician Huo!"

The arm man's voice was very angry, but in his anger, there was a hint of expectation. He hoped that Huo Ying really had a way to convince him.

"At worst, the experiment will fail and you will still be an infected creature."

Huo Ying did not continue to persuade. It was not some lion or tiger that came to persuade the ancestors of mankind to defeat nature.

“Those who do not accept their fate may not succeed.”

Huo Ying pointed at the gene that had rolled to the feet of the arm monster.

"But those who do not succumb to fate must dare to make their own choices."

Choose! Yourself!
The arm man's heart was in turmoil, and the feeling of being penetrated by Huo Ying's gaze made him a little shaken. He instinctively wanted to refute, but there was a voice whispering in his heart, as if telling him -

It really wants to choose once.

The arm monster stared at Huo Ying quietly for a long time. It did not launch an attack, but slowly picked up the immortal cells on the ground.

After taking a deep breath, the arm weirdo did not inject, but looked at Huo Ying and said, "I want to see the color of the sky and then decide what to choose."

"can."

Huo Ying gave up his position.

The ape demon was somewhat unwilling. Now that the three of them had surrounded the arm monster, it had nowhere to escape.

But if they go outside, even though Kisame is level five and Huo Ying is even stronger than Kisame, no one can be sure whether a level four arm monster has any means of escape.

The arm weirdo grinned.

He walked straight past Huo Ying and went out.

Just as Yuanmo and Kisame were about to follow, they saw Huo Ying standing there without moving.

The two men looked at each other, not daring to overstep their authority, and then stood on both sides of Huo Ying again.

"You actually let me go out alone?"

The man with the arm looked at Huo Ying in surprise, then stepped into the elevator and closed the door.

Arriving at the third floor of the factory, the man with the arm jumped out, and after a few flashes, he left Ailing Town and appeared in the suburbs shrouded in a strange fog.

"He really doesn't pursue me?"

The man with the arm was stunned. He was just busy running and didn't pay attention to the direction. At this moment, there was strange fog all around him and he couldn't see the direction at all.

He raised an arm, which slowly turned black, then shrank and withered. "Rule: I can see clearly in the fog."

The scene in front of him changed. The man with the arm looked in the direction of Ailing Town, hesitated for a moment, dodged a few times, and returned to the factory.

This time, the arm monster did not take the elevator, but jumped heavily and jumped directly from the elevator shaft to the underground laboratory.

"Huo Ying, are you looking down on me? You actually let me go just like that!"

The arm monster had a look of anger on his face. Before the apocalypse, when the two were working, Huo Ying didn't see it at all. Now, he has evolved into a level 4 monster, but Huo Ying still doesn't see him.

"I told you to choose for yourself."

Huo Ying was not afraid that the Arm Monster would run away. According to the Arm Monster's mind, even if he ran away, he would not abandon the immortal cells. As long as the Arm Monster studied the immortal cells, his experimental subjects would become Huo Ying's vassals, and he himself would eventually use this cell and it would become his own puppet.

In addition, Huo Ying was also very curious, under the interference of the God's call, would the arm monster bring the immortal cells to Chang'an City?

No matter what Arm Monster chooses, his fate is doomed from the moment he gets the immortal cells.

"I hate the way you act like you have everything under control."

The arm monster snorted, then injected the immortal cells into his body.

"But, I have to say, if I have to choose one side to join, compared to the voice in my head, I would rather join you."

This is!

The appearance of the arm monster did not change at all, but various curse seals appeared on his palms.

Thunder, earth, water, fire, and gold!
First, there were five basic escape techniques, which turned into curse seals that appeared on the five arms.

Then, ice escape, speed escape, explosion escape, steel escape and other bloodline limits appeared on the other arms.

This is not over yet.

All of the monster's arms began to slowly merge, and finally merged into two arms, one on the left and one on the right.

The arms and palms exposed to the air gradually turned pitch black.

"My arms are all gone?"

The arm monster stared at his palm in a daze. He was still level four, and his infectiousness had not changed at all. Even the hallucinations in his mind were still there. Apart from having fewer arms, he seemed to have gained nothing.

No, that's not right!

His arms are still changing.

The arm monster widened his eyes. He felt his skin burning bit by bit. Then, the flesh on his arm disappeared, revealing a grim skeleton.

The color of the skeleton is a mixture of ink and white bones, a strange gray.

"I see!"

The arm-shaped monster looked at Huo Ying in disbelief, and then smashed the petri dish beside him with a bang. The petri dish made of tempered glass immediately dissipated in the air.

Yes, the petri dish did not break, but simply dissipated, dust to dust, earth to earth.

The arm monster clenched his fist, then extended his index finger and gently pointed his fingertips at a piece of rotten meat in the petri dish.

This is an organ of an infected organism, and its ability is extremely strong in self-healing.

sizzle.

As the finger bone pierced into the rotten flesh, the rotten flesh disappeared into thin air, and the infectiousness and self-healing ability contained in it lost all its effect in an instant.

"My ability is, erasure?"

The Arm Freak looked at his arms excitedly.

Not erasure.

Huo Ying was also shocked by the scene before him.

As the arm monster fused with the immortal cells, a new bloodstain was lit up on the sacred tree.

Bone veins.

Due to the complex energy and extraordinary talent of the arm monster, it accidentally inherited all the escape techniques that Huo Ying possessed, but without the sacred tree, all the escape techniques merged with each other and became the predecessor of the Bloodline Network.

The arm monster obtained the highest level of ability of the Corpse Bone Vein, and was just a little bit away from evolving into the Bloodline Net and awakening the Gray Bone.

But, the disadvantages are also there.

Without the sacred tree, the arm monster's body could not withstand the fusion of different ninjutsu.

cough cough.

The still excited arm monster suddenly spurted out a large amount of blood.

"So that's it, so that's it, this is fate, this is my destiny!"

Having awakened the most terrifying power contained in the Corpse Bone Vein, the Arm Monster also inherited the defects of the Corpse Bone Vein. The decomposition of flesh and blood continued upwards, and it was visible to the naked eye that the Arm Monster's shoulder turned into gray dry bones.

As long as the arm monster's entire body turns into gray bones, it will disappear under the infection of the blood disease.

“It’s a fascinating power.”

The arm monster was not afraid, but laughed:
"I still couldn't escape. I know that the auditory hallucinations in my head were meant to make me die. The power I awakened was also meant to make me die. Isn't this fate?"

"My fate is to die."

Huo Ying did not expect this to happen. The arm monster devoured Pangu's bones and awakened the corpse bone veins. He almost activated the killing gray bones, but the price was that the blood disease broke out immediately, and even Huo Ying didn't know how to cure it.

Looking at the speed at which the arm monster's body is disappearing, perhaps, after a day, the arm monster will disappear into thin air.

"I want to go to Chang'an City to take a look."

The flesh and blood on the arm monster's collarbone also disappeared.

"Huo Ying, I want to tell you."

"He who dares to choose his fate is not considered strong."

"After accepting fate, those who dare to resist are the strong ones."

"This time, you lose."

"Where you dare not go."

"Now, I'm going."

The arm monster knew that he was going to die, so he didn't dare to delay at all. He tore his arm lightly, and the gray bone scratched across the ceiling, immediately wiping out the roof of the Blue Gene Factory.

Without stopping, lightning flashed on the arm monster's body. Under the ability of Gray Bone, the black mist that interfered with the five senses was immediately evaporated by Gray Bone.

Changan City!
The arm monster was as fast as lightning. He moved straight forward in the direction given by the auditory hallucinations in his mind, and all the obstacles in his way were destroyed by him.
