Lin Qiye stayed where he was.
"Died of old age?" After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly came to his senses, grabbed Yue Jiulin's shoulders, pointed at the ward and said, "Died of old age?! He's not even 18 years old this year! You're telling me he's going to die of old age?"
"Commander Lin... Commander Lin, calm down first." Yue Jiulin said helplessly, "Mr. Youli's body has been squeezed many times. Even if you have used drugs to stabilize his condition, his damage cannot be avoided. In a sense, one year of his physical age is equivalent to six or seven years of an ordinary person.
Now his organs have failed to the same degree as a centenarian. If it weren't for his ceiling-level mental strength, he wouldn't have survived until now."
Lin Qiye opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.
He had heard An Qingyu say similar words when he was in the "human circle", but after so many years, Yuuri Takishiro didn't seem to be abnormal, so he had forgotten about the matter.
"Then is there any way to save him now?" Lin Qiye asked with a frown.
Yue Jiulin shook his head. "The failure of his body functions is an irreversible process, just like we can't stop a person from dying of old age. In his case, there is no way to deal with it... Perhaps we should prepare for Mr. Yu Li's funeral."
With the departure of Yue Jiulin, Lin Qiye was the only one left standing alone in the pale corridor, and he did not come back to his senses for a long time.
The ticking of the clock echoed in the corridor. He took a deep breath and walked into the ward.
"Brother Qiye."
On the snow-white bed, a white-haired boy who looked like a painting smiled weakly. His body was covered with wires for detecting vital signs and one hand was hanging with an IV. In a trance, he seemed to have returned to the time in the Pure Land.
Lin Qiye looked at him with a complicated expression, "You've already noticed it, right?"
"Well... but I know my physical condition very well. Even if I tell it, it won't change anything." Yuri Takishiro turned his head, looked at the starry sky outside the window, and said softly, "If you guys, Qiye, hadn't tried your best to save me, I would have died of illness in the 'human circle'... It was you who took me out of the laboratory and saw the real world.
I am very grateful to have had such a wonderful life in the past few years. If I were to say what I would like to do in the end, maybe it would be to play games with you again before I leave. In fact, I have always wanted to do this since I first arrived in Daxia, but later you were all too busy.
After all the hard work, only you and Brother Qingzhu are left here..."
Yuuri Takishiro's voice became smaller and smaller. After a moment, he shook his head and said with a smile, "Anyway, this wish has come true today, and I have no regrets."
Lin Qiye stood beside the bed, looking at the pale face of the boy, not knowing what to say for a moment.
After returning to Daxia from the "Human Circle" that year, they entrusted Yuri Takibai to Zuo Qing. After all, the special team's mission was too heavy, and they couldn't take the child with them. Later, too many things happened, and they didn't have much chance to visit him...
"It's all my fault." Lin Qiye glanced at the [Divine Disaster] by the window, guilt emerging in his eyes, "I promised your sister that I would take good care of you..."
"What are you talking about, Nanaya-kun." Yuri Takishiro said with a smile, "You have your own things to do. Besides, I've had a good life in the past few years. I have no worries about food and drink, I have endless games to play, and I've met Uncle Guan and other seniors who take good care of me. All of these are brought to me by you."
Yuuri Takishiro seemed to remember something. With the hand that was hooked to an IV drip, he picked up the black and gold long sword from the window and handed it to Lin Qiye.
“Brother Qiye, there are only two people in the world who can use this sword, one is me, and the other is you… In fact, it should have been with you from the beginning, but you were worried about me being alone in Daxia, so you asked my sister to accompany me.
When I leave, remember to take it with you, so that my sister won’t be alone.”
"Don't worry, Takishiro, maybe there is another way." Lin Qiye did not accept the [Divine Disaster], he gently put down Yuri Takishiro's hand, "You take a good rest here first, I will think of the rest."
After saying goodbye to Yuuri Takibai, Lin Qiye walked out of the ward quickly and ran into Shen Qingzhu who was rushing over.
"How is it?" Shen Qingzhu asked.
Lin Qiye briefly explained his situation, and Shen Qingzhu's brows immediately frowned.
"Organ failure... How about trying to replace his body? Didn't the Heavenly Court say before that they were cultivating black flowers that could carry souls?"
Lin Qiye shook his head. "The Heavenly Court is indeed cultivating it, but now all the gods of Daxia have fallen into a deep sleep and exiled themselves to the depths of the universe. There is no such thing on Earth..."
"What about miracles?"
"It may work, but in Takishiro's case, he died of old age, so the chances of success are slim. We can only give it a try."
Lin Qiye thought for a moment and sighed helplessly, "Maybe in the end, I can only let Hu Jia come... But whether this child is willing to have spiritual immortality is still a question."
Just as the two were discussing, a figure hurriedly came from the end of the corridor.
"Where's Takishiro?" Guan Zai, wearing a plaid shirt and a baseball cap, looked a little anxious. ..
"Rest inside." Lin Qiye repeated the situation again.
After listening to this, Guan fell into deep thought:
"I do have a way. Perhaps it will allow him to survive without having to reside in someone else's mind..."
Hearing this, Lin Qiye's eyes lit up, "What method?"
Guan Zai took a deep breath and slowly uttered two words:
"Become a god."
Lin Qiye and Shen Qingzhu were both stunned at the same time, "Becoming a god?"
"Yes, if he can become a god, he may be able to get rid of his physical defects and continue to live in this world."
“But he doesn’t have any laws now, how can he become a god? The most important thing is that even if he has the laws, his body won’t be able to bear them, and he will turn into a soul and fly away.” Lin Qiye said seriously.
"Don't forget, his ability is [Game]." Guan Zai spoke slowly, "He can bring virtual game items into reality, so why can't he turn them into data and enter the world of the game? As long as he becomes a god in the form of data, he naturally doesn't need a physical body to carry him.
By then, he can completely break free from the constraints of material things, live forever in the game world with true freedom, and become the world's unique... God of Games."
