Qing Chen turned to look at her: "You already found out?"
“Yes, the force field of cancer cells is different from that of others; their life force field is much stronger,” Yangyang said. “But your condition shouldn’t have progressed so quickly. When I saw you before, you were fine, and now, only a little over a month later, how could it have spread throughout your body?”
Qing Chen looked at the moon in the sky: "The Shroud."
"Um?"
Qingchen thought for a moment and said, "The body's own immune system will kill those mutated cells. Only the mutated cells that escape this fate will evolve into cancer cells. I only recently realized that the Shroud of Turin is used to heal injuries at a price. It will 'revive' those cancer cells that were killed. They can live indefinitely as long as they have a supply of nutrients, and they have successfully evaded the immune system's detection."
The shroud has no containment conditions, but it comes at a price.
No one warned it that it couldn't wrap living things, but it was like a trap, and this forbidden object has killed countless people in this way.
But most people don't realize that their cancer is actually caused by using a shroud.
"Who would have thought this?" Qing Chen said with a frank smile, "At first, I found it quite convenient. However, I had cancer cells when I experienced radiation exposure; it was just a matter of time. I was already mentally prepared."
Qing Chen had no choice. He had guessed the side effects of the shroud on the human body when he returned this time, but he had to recover from his injuries.
"What should we do?" Yangyang asked.
“This is also why I must go to Forbidden Land No. 001,” Qing Chen said. “I must take Ren Xiaosu’s path to godhood; there is no turning back. I’m not sure what it means to walk this path—whether it means becoming a gray figure like Boss He, or assimilating into the world and becoming part of its will. Ren Xiaosu unlocked all his genetic locks back then; I still need two more to be fully unlocked.”
"Would the amusement park keep any secrets about this?" Yangyang asked.
“I think it definitely exists,” Qingchen said with a smile.
Yangyang said softly, "We've come back alive. We still have a long life ahead of us, and we'll spend it together."
"Um."
...
...
At midnight, Qing Chen sat alone on the cliff of Whale Island, his eyes closed as he meditated. The black knife rested on his lap, its sharpness concealed.
The battle of demigods.
This was Qingchen's first true battle against a demigod in his life.
The countdown has reached zero.
The world was plunged into darkness.
Qingchen returned to the green corridor of the haunted house maze, looking at the winding path in front of him.
He watched as the flying goddess descended from the sky.
The flying goddess looked at him with fearless eyes.
Chapter 931, Tug-of-War
Many people in the Otherworld have always felt that the Time Traveler is like a bug in this world.
For example, those clubs that were wiped out by the parent-teacher association. Everyone worked hard in the lower three districts to fight against the parent-teacher association. They finally managed to beat the parent-teacher association so badly that everyone was injured. But after midnight, the members not only applied chicken blood to heal their injuries, but also played for seven days, playing basketball, playing games, planting vegetables, taking several baths, and watching several movies. Then they came back to continue beating you.
Who could stand this?
For Qing Chen, seven days had passed, but for Chen Yu, only a moment had gone by.
At this moment, Li Bingxi, standing next to Chen Yu, mocked, "Look, Qing Chen doesn't take you seriously at all. Not only is he fearless, he even had time to get a haircut..."
"Shut up," Chen Yu said coldly.
He looked at Qing Chen through the perspective of the Flying Goddess, and his heart sank when he saw that the other party's injuries had healed.
Chen Yu knew that Da Yu had a forbidden item that could restore paintings, but he never expected that he could restore the severed arm to its original state within seven days!
This forbidden substance can actually restore living things!
Qingchen silently looked towards the end of the maze corridor. The green evergreen trees were neatly trimmed, and Gouwa was embedded in the wall not far away, staring at Qingchen with wide eyes.
Even he seemed surprised.
"Long time no see," Qingchen said with a smile.
As they spoke, four goddesses swooped down from the sky, their red ribbons already unfurling from a distance of more than ten meters.
But the next moment, lightning surged outside the wall.
In the instant light and shadow intersected, Qing Chen did not run away. Instead, he suddenly appeared in front of a Vajra Subduing Demon. He swung his empty hand, and halfway through the swing, he drew a black knife from nothingness.
The black blade, capable of slicing through even forbidden objects, cleaved down along the shoulder and neck of the Demon-Subduing Vajra, severing him in two!
The slash was extremely sharp and swift, almost invisible.
After being sliced open, the body of the Demon-Subduing Vajra appeared completely unharmed. A second later, its massive body gradually disintegrated, turning into a cloud of white mist that dissipated into the air.
The goddess killed an empty house, but Qing Chen treated the haunted house maze as his own territory, and began to use light and shadow to move around at will!
From now on, in this haunted house maze, he will be the one chasing people, and no one will be able to hunt him down anymore!
In a split second, the roles of attacker and defender reversed, and Qing Chen was no longer the prey, but the hunter!
In an instant, Qing Chen leaped forward, brandishing his sword, but there was nothing in front of him but an empty maze corridor. It was as if he was about to slash at the air in front of him.
However, while he was still in mid-air in the maze corridor, he saw lightning surge several more times, and Qing Chen's sword seemed to be constantly jumping in the space of light and shadow.
With a light leap, it seemed as if it had traversed a kilometer to arrive directly in front of another Vajra Subduer!
cut!
With a clang, the speed of the blade was so fast that the black blade struck the air and produced a metallic clang, as if it were being drawn from its sheath!
Qing Chen leaped out from a kilometer away, using light and shadow displacement to cross the kilometer distance and brushed past the Demon Subduing Vajra. He then slashed down with the black blade he was holding in reverse, and the armor on the Demon Subduing Vajra was easily dismantled.
In this world, there have been no more than five people in the past thousand years who could kill a demigod's painting with such swift and decisive methods!
Qing Chen was one of them.
He hasn't even used the Divine Cut yet!
Chen Yu's pupils contracted slightly. Only a minute had passed since the other party returned, and his two Demon-Subduing Vajras had already been destroyed!
He manipulated all the flying goddesses to take flight and converge towards the water god Gonggong, only stopping when he was certain that the bottom of the painting was entirely filled with the Weak Water.
The area covered by the Weak Water of the Water God Gonggong is four kilometers in radius, and Qingchen cannot set foot here.
Qing Chen closed his eyes and used sound to locate people in the maze, then loudly mocked, "The dignified Emperor Emeritus of the Chen family, now you only dare to cower in fear? Come on! Kill me!"
Outside the haunted house maze, Li Bingxi sneered, "See? I told you I'd let him go back to the surface world. Once he advances to demigod, you won't be able to do anything about it. Back then, your father was defeated by Li Shutong, and now you're going to be defeated by Qing Chen. Perhaps this is the fate of your Chen family's demigods! Knights can forever ride on your heads and shit and piss on them!"
"Shut up!" Chen Yu roared.
Knight Demigod!
Another knight demigod!
This knight demigod moved swiftly and silently through the haunted house maze, leaving the knight with immense strength but unable to strike his opponent.
Suddenly, he cut open his own thigh, and a fire god named Zhurong appeared, burning Lee Byung-hee to ashes with a burst of flame!
But even after Li Bingxi left, someone else appeared. Another ghostly figure appeared, none other than Shen Daiqian: "If you had joined forces with me to kill Li Shutong and Qingchen back then, none of this would have happened today."
"You die too!" Chen Yu roared.
The fire god Zhurong melted the divine Thousand Red within it, turning it into ashes.
He burned each shadow one by one, and with each one he burned, his spirit and will weakened a little more.
Suddenly, Chen Chuanzhi said coldly, "Go and avenge me! Now is the best time to kill him. You've almost used up all your trump cards. If you don't kill him today, when will you ever get the chance?"
"Shut up too!" Chen Yu said coldly.
The fire god Zhurong unleashed a dragon-like flame that enveloped Chen Chuanzhi, refining him completely!
After Chen Chuanzhi completely disappeared, Chen Yu paused for a moment, his consciousness briefly returning to clarity: "Father..."
But in the blink of an eye, Chen Yu sneered again: "You should have died long ago."
It was at this moment that Chen Yu saw a small child appear beside him.
The child was bent over his desk drawing something, sitting up straight.
The next second, a magpie appeared out of nowhere and landed in front of the child. With just a few strokes, the child sketched the magpie on the drawing paper, making it incredibly lifelike.
A magpie flew in through the window, and the child happily got up, wanting to reach out and let the magpie land in his palm.
And the magpie really did fly towards his palm!
Before the magpie could even fly to his hand, Chen Chuanzhi suddenly appeared, grabbed the magpie's neck in mid-air, and snapped it.
The child shrank back in fear.
Chen Chuanzhi seemed to have aggravated his injury by exerting himself. He coughed for a while and said angrily, "Focus on your cultivation and painting. Now you can't even paint a single picture well. How will you avenge me in the future?"
Tears welled up in the child's eyes: "Father, but I've been practicing for eight hours..."
At this moment, Chen Chuanzhi saw the magpie on the child's drawing paper and immediately tore the paper to shreds in a fit of rage: "Why are you drawing such useless things? I want you to draw gods and Buddhas all over the sky!"
The child cried and said, "But the ancestral precepts in the ancestral hall say that painting should be done according to one's heart, and that Chen family painters should paint whatever they want."
Chen Chuanzhi slapped the child across the face: "You unfilial son, how dare you talk back? Will drawing magpies help you beat Li Shutong? Will it help you achieve success in the future? Stop drawing useless things! I'll tell you what to draw, and you'll draw it! You are a genius that the Chen family sees only once in a century, don't waste your talent!"
The child was sobbing uncontrollably.
Chen Chuanzhi said slowly, "My father was seriously injured by Li Shutong and will not live much longer. If you are playing around, how will you avenge me?"
The child suddenly shouted, "But why did you cut off Uncle Chen's path of chivalry? He clearly didn't intend to compete with you for anything!"
Chen Chuanzhi, his face grim, slapped the child again: "What do you know? Who in this world isn't obsessed with power? If he becomes a demigod and joins forces with Li Shutong and Chen Ningzhi, how can I resist? Put away your cowardly thoughts!"
After saying that, Chen Chuanzhi turned to look at Chen Yu, who was standing in the amusement park, and asked, "You unfilial son, have you avenged me?"
Chen Yu carefully examined the child, intending to reach out and comfort him, but then withdrew his hand.
He suddenly laughed: "So you all don't exist. You are me, and I am you. Chen Chuanzhi, just you wait and see, I'm stronger than you."
After saying that, he sat on the back of the blue ox and leaped up, leaving all the evil spirits on the ground.
Chen Yu looked down and saw more than a hundred ghosts standing quietly in place, looking at him with an eerie smile, watching him ascend into the sky.
When Chen Yu realized why he was hallucinating, he actually managed to temporarily break free from the shackles of mental pollution.
