599: The Lizardman God begins to revive

The Spark on Heavenly Dao Ghost gradually dimmed, and the smile on his face also slowly disappeared.

Looking at Yang Dian, who was speaking righteously and sternly, he fell silent.

'Looking back at China's history, I should have realized long ago that Chinese people have a flexible moral bottom line.'

'If I hadn't been so arrogant just now, would the outcome have been slightly better?'

Heavenly Dao Ghost fell silent, and the smile that had transferred to Yang Dian's face also gradually vanished.

"Comrade, why has the Spark on you dimmed and disappeared?"

"Is it because you no longer recognize China and wish to betray China?"

"Traitors must die."

Before Heavenly Dao Ghost could argue, Yang Dian had already raised the Soul Blade in his hand again, slicing him evenly into 132,527 pieces.

Why such a precise, fractional number?

Because, based on Yang Dian's experience from eating them, these 132,527 portions of Soul essence could just precisely increase the Soul strength of ordinary people with less than 10,000 points of Soul strength by the same amount.

'Perhaps I should give Heavenly Dao Ghost a belief to cling to for survival?'

'If he's cut up too many times and directly falls into despair, leading him to self-terminate, that would be a huge loss.'

'Also, beliefs are not immutable.'

'Wang Zhaoming once wrote the poem, "Draw the blade for a quick end, not to fail the youthful spirit," but didn't he still become a traitor in the end?'

'So, it's not as simple as creating the "Spark" meditation method and everything being fine.'

'The political commissars still need to exert effort, and they should...'

As Yang Dian's thoughts churned, Yue Shan, freed from Heavenly Dao Ghost's suppression, gradually regained control of his body and re-entered it.

When he opened his eyes again and saw Yang Dian in front of him, he wasn't surprised.

Although suppressed by Heavenly Dao Ghost, he still had some perception of his own situation.

He knew that on Earth, only Yang Dian could help him escape Heavenly Dao Ghost's suppression.

So, upon seeing Yang Dian, he simply greeted him calmly:

"You've come."

Hearing Yue Shan's calm, even somewhat indifferent voice, Yang Dian, having collected his thoughts, mused for a moment before speaking:

"Uncle Yue, how do you feel now?"

As he spoke, he gestured with the Soul Blade in his hand:

"I see there are still quite a few stubborn individuals in the great unified survival will who refuse to be managed and won't ignite the Spark, right?"

"Do you want me to help you cut them all out?"

Yue Shan shook his head slightly:

"No need."

"Unless I encounter an anomaly like Heavenly Dao Ghost, those unruly remnant Souls will no longer affect me."

"Isn't that right?" Yang Dian put away the Soul Blade, shook his head, and then looked at Yue Shan seriously:

"Uncle Yue, haven't you felt your emotions becoming a bit indifferent?"

Yue Shan fell silent for a moment, then shook his head slightly:

"This is merely the necessary cost of fusing with the great unified survival will."

"Innumerable thoughts are intertwined, forcing me to handle everything with the calmest mindset."

"This makes me appear a bit indifferent."

"But in reality, I am still me."

With Soul light gathered in his eyes, sweeping over the great unified survival will, which was intertwined like a root ball in the place where Yue Shan's Soul resided, and Yue Shan's Soul, which occupied the absolute core position in the center of the Great Unified, Yang Dian nodded slightly:

"You're right."

After acknowledging Yue Shan's statement, Yang Dian changed the subject:

"Uncle Yue, you've basically controlled the great unified survival will now. Do you want to leave this Star Core Space?"

Yue Shan surveyed the Star Core Space, which was not large but not small either, and shook his head slightly:

"Let's wait a bit longer."

"Although those unruly remnant Souls will no longer affect me, just to be safe, it's better to have them all ignite the Spark before leaving."

Yang Dian once again conjured a Soul Blade and twirled it in his palm:

"Then, Uncle Yue, do you want me to help you remove those unruly remnant Souls?"

Yue Shan shook his head again:

"No need."

"Although those remnant Souls are unruly, they are still part of the great unified survival will."

"Under the influence of other remnant Souls, they will eventually ignite the Spark."

As he spoke, he set a timeline:

"Half a year."

"If I haven't dealt with these remnant Souls after half a year, then you can step in."

Yang Dian nodded in agreement:

"Alright, then it's settled."

After agreeing, he meticulously inspected the Star Core Space and Yue Shan, confirming that there were no lingering methods left by Heavenly Dao Ghost in the area, before bidding farewell to Yue Shan and leaving the Star Core Space.

He returned to Wang Wu's small courtyard to tell him he was safe. After learning of Wang Wu's intention to leave the sanatorium after digesting the Seven-Winged Strange Bird, Yang Dian immediately rushed to the desolate Gobi Desert in Northwest China.

It wasn't that he wasn't going to Fengdu to witness the Strange Star merge with Earth.

Rather, he had to resolve Heavenly Dao Ghost's matter first.

As for Heavenly Dao Ghost?

Heavenly Dao Ghost and the Lizardman God were neighbors; the two fellows were currently at a mine not far from the Expeditionary Force Base.

What kind of mine?

A great mine of flesh and blood, a great mine of Souls.

Strolling into the fully automated mining facility, specially constructed to prevent riots from Heavenly Dao Ghost, the Lizardman God, and other great flesh and blood mines, Yang Dian first checked on the Lizardman God.

The Lizardman God was still miserable.

His current state was exactly the same as when he was first brought back.

Not a single piece of flesh and blood had been added or removed from his body.

His entire body was constantly in a cycle of recovery → cutting flesh → recovery → cutting flesh.

After carefully sensing the Lizardman God's state, Yang Dian raised an eyebrow again.

Due to the special nature of his talent, the Lizardman God had remained alive even after his head was vaporized.

However, because he lost control of his body after losing his head, he couldn't be considered truly alive either.

In short, he had previously been in a state of living death, close to a vegetative state.

But as time passed, his head never grew back, and his body became a great mine of flesh and blood, constantly being harvested.

The Lizardman God finally began to change.

Yang Dian could feel that the Lizardman God's flesh, blood, and Soul were all converging towards his heart.

His body instinctively wanted to open up a second body control center in his heart.

"At this rate, in just two more years, the Lizardman God's heart will become his second brain."

"At that time, he will regain his ability to move."

Having reached this conclusion, Yang Dian didn't linger there and continued towards his next destination.

The Lizardman God was not a big problem now.

Let alone two years from now.

Even if he woke up now, the Daoist, who had already stepped into the Star-Patrolling Realm Middle Stage, could contend with him.

Two years from now, Yue Shan and Wang Wu might even be able to suppress him.

Also, Lao Bai's star destroyer had already begun its final assembly and testing.

If he really woke up, there would be plenty of surprises waiting for him.

So Yang Dian didn't even put the Lizardman God, this minor character, in his mind.

What Yang Dian cared about was Heavenly Dao Ghost...
