Let you simulate life, but you change fate every time?!

Chapter 696: Chapter 384: Through the Ages, Things and People Change, All Comes to an End!_3

"You, are you... the Martial Ancestor, sir?"

The emaciated elder’s expression was fervent, his mind hit by an unprecedented impact, to the point of temporarily forgetting the intense pain coursing through his body.

"You recognize me?"

Lu Yuan hadn’t expected that after ten thousand years, someone still remembered him.

Moreover, he detected a familiar aura from the elder’s bloodline.

Could it be that this frail elder before him was a descendant of an acquaintance from the past?

"It can’t be wrong, even though the Dawn Church strictly forbids anyone from mentioning anything related to the Martial Extreme Daoist School."

"But when I was young, I saw a portrait of the Martial Ancestor in my grandfather’s secret room. You look exactly like the portrait, you must be the Martial Ancestor, sir!"

The more the emaciated elder spoke, the more excited he became, as if a devout believer had seen the god he worshiped, his gray eyes shining with unprecedented color.

The next moment.

From somewhere, a surge of strength emerged, and he unexpectedly struggled to rise from the planks, attempting to salute Lu Yuan.

"Disciple Wu Hai, pays homage to the Martial Ancestor, sir..."

The emaciated elder said with tears in his eyes, kneeling on one knee before Lu Yuan.

"Wu Hai? Are you a descendant of the Wu Clan from Cangzhou?"

Lu Yuan’s expression shifted slightly, finally understanding the elder’s identity.

Years ago, he traveled south to engage in martial arts, hoping to challenge the dojos of the world.

The first stop was the Baji Daoist School in Cangzhou.

And this elder was evidently a descendant of Elder Grandmaster Wu Hongsheng.

"Since you are the descendant of an old acquaintance, I shall save a life."

Lu Yuan was about to inquire further.

But the elder’s injuries were too severe, already reaching the point of exhaustion and collapse. Just as he kneeled, his body suddenly stiffened and fell straight down.

"Grandfather, what’s wrong? Grandfather, don’t die..."

The boy hurriedly crawled onto the elder, shaking his body repeatedly, trying to awaken him again.

But as soon as the elder fell to the ground, his body became extremely rigid, and his skin began to bulge and ripple as if a mouse was running through his insides.

His limbs also became increasingly deformed, emitting a series of cracking sounds, as if some terrifying mutation was about to occur!

"Not good! Quickly throw Old Wu’s body out."

"He’s been corrupted by Dark Energy and is about to mutate into a monstrous biological being."

"Once his mutation completes, we will all die here!"

Hearing the boy’s cries, many people immediately rushed out of their tents, attempting to seize Old Wu’s body.

"Martial Ancestor, sir, please, save my grandfather."

The boy was terrified by the commotion, grabbing onto Lu Yuan’s arm like it was his last lifeline, desperately pleading.

"Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, your grandfather won’t die."

Lu Yuan rubbed the boy’s head, gently comforting him.

Next.

His body suddenly emitted a splendid divine light, like a scorching sun, illuminating the entire sewer as brightly as day.

Faced with this blinding radiance, all the heavily mutated individuals shed tears and couldn’t help but close their eyes.

Under the illumination of this light.

The emaciated elder, who had just stopped breathing, suddenly opened his eyes wide, taking in gulps of the turbid air, and astonishingly came back to life.

Not only that.

He and all those heavily mutated individuals bathed in the intense light felt warmth throughout their bodies, like soaking in a hot spring.

Their distorted bodies returned to normal.

Their chaotic minds regained clarity.

In this instant.

All the Dark Energy and diseases within them were completely expelled, transforming them back into normal humans!
