Chapter 1777 Becoming a God?
Lin Qiye stood frozen in place.
“Die of old age?” After who knows how long, he suddenly came to his senses, grabbed Yue Jiulin’s shoulders, and pointing at the hospital room, said, “Die of old age?! He’s not even eighteen yet! You’re telling me he’s going to die of old age??”
“Commander Lin… Commander Lin, please calm down.” Yue Jiulin replied helplessly. “Mr. Youli’s body has been repeatedly exploited many times. Even though you’ve used drugs to stabilize his condition, the damage can’t be avoided. In a sense, one year of his physiological age is equivalent to six or seven years for an ordinary person.
The organs in his body have deteriorated to the level of a centenarian. If it weren’t for his top-tier mental strength supporting him, he probably wouldn’t have survived until now.”
Lin Qiye opened his mouth but couldn’t utter a single word.
He had heard similar words from An Qingyu back when they were in the “Human Circle,” but after so many years, Youli Luobai showed no visible abnormalities, causing him to forget about this matter.
“Is there any way to save him now?” Lin Qiye asked with furrowed brows.
Yue Jiulin shook his head, “The deterioration of his bodily functions is an irreversible process. Just as we can’t prevent a person from dying naturally of old age, there’s no method for his condition… Perhaps we should prepare for Mr. Youli’s funeral arrangements.”
As Yue Jiulin left, only Lin Qiye remained standing in the pale corridor, unable to come to his senses for a long time.
The ticking of the clock echoed through the corridor. He took a deep breath and finally stepped into the hospital room.
“Brother Qiye.”
On the snow-white hospital bed, a white-haired youth as beautiful as a painting smiled weakly. His body was covered with monitoring wires, one hand connected to an IV drip. For a moment, it felt like they had returned to their time in [Pure Land].
Lin Qiye looked at him with complex emotions. “You’ve known all along, haven’t you?”
“Yes… but I understand my physical condition very well. Even if I had said something, it wouldn’t have changed anything.” Youli Luobai turned his head to look at the stars outside the window and said softly, “If it weren’t for you all desperately saving me back then, I would have died in the ‘Human Circle’ long ago… You all took me out of the laboratory and showed me what the world truly looks like.
Having had these few wonderful years of life, I’m already very content. If there’s anything else I want to do before I go… perhaps it’s to play one more game with you all. Actually, when I first arrived in Great Xia, I always wanted to do this, but later you all became too busy.
In the end, only you and Brother Qingzhu remained here…”
Youli Luobai’s voice grew increasingly faint. After a moment, he shook his head and smiled, “Anyway, this wish has been fulfilled today, so I have no regrets.”
Lin Qiye stood by the bedside, looking at that pale youthful face, not knowing what to say.
After returning to Great Xia from the “Human Circle” back then, they had entrusted Youli Luobai to Zuo Qing, since the special squad’s missions were too demanding for them to take care of the child. Later, too many things happened, and they rarely had the chance to visit him…
“It’s all my fault.” Lin Qiye glanced at [Divine Calamity] by the window, guilt appearing in his eyes. “I promised your sister I would take good care of you…”
“What are you saying, Brother Qiye?” Youli Luobai smiled. “You have your own responsibilities. Besides, I’ve lived well these past few years—never wanting for food or drink, having endless games to play, and meeting seniors like Uncle Guan who took care of me. All of this came from you.”
Youli Luobai seemed to remember something. With his IV-connected hand, he took the black and gold long sword from the window and handed it to Lin Qiye.
“Brother Qiye, only two people in the world can use this sword—me and you… Actually, from the beginning, it should have been with you. You just didn’t want to leave me alone in Great Xia, so you let my sister accompany me.
After I’m gone, remember to take it with you. Don’t let my sister be all alone.”
“Don’t rush, Luobai. There might be other solutions.” Lin Qiye didn’t take [Divine Calamity]. He gently put Youli Luobai’s hand down. “You rest well here first, and I’ll figure something out.”
After saying goodbye to Youli Luobai, Lin Qiye quickly walked out of the hospital room and ran into Shen Qingzhu who was hurrying over.
“How is he?” Shen Qingzhu asked.
Lin Qiye briefly explained the situation, and Shen Qingzhu’s brows immediately furrowed.
“Organ failure… Why not try giving him a new body? Didn’t the Heavenly Court mention they were cultivating those black flowers that could carry souls?”
Lin Qiye shook his head, “The Heavenly Court is indeed cultivating them, but now all the gods of Great Xia have fallen into slumber and exiled themselves to the depths of the universe. There’s nothing like that on Earth…”
“What about a miracle?”
“It might work, but since Luobai’s condition is natural aging, the chances of success are slim. We can only try.”
Lin Qiye pondered for a moment and sighed helplessly, “Perhaps in the end, we’ll have to ask Hu Jia to make a visit… Though whether the child is willing to live on spiritually is another question.”
As the two were discussing, a figure hurriedly approached from the end of the corridor.
“Where’s Luobai?” Guan Zai wore a plaid shirt, looking anxious under his baseball cap.
“He’s resting inside.” Lin Qiye repeated the situation.
After listening, Guan Zai fell into deep thought:
“I might have a way to let him survive without residing 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 both froze. “Become a god?”
“Yes, if he can become a god, he might be able to overcome his physiological defects and continue living in this world.”
“But he has no laws now, how can he become a god? More importantly, even if he had laws, his physical body couldn’t contain them—he would dissipate and his soul would scatter,” 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 couldn’t he transform into data and enter the game world? If he becomes a god in data form, he naturally wouldn’t need a physical body to contain him.
Then, he could completely break free from material limitations and truly live eternally in the game world, becoming the world’s one and only… God of Games.”
