Upon hearing Jiang Li’s words, Luo Ying quickly composed herself, slowing down her rapid breath from the intense exercise.
“I’ve been wondering what could have happened in the oceans that could produce something like a zombie virus. After collecting clues for years, I have a daring conjecture. You may not believe it, ” Luo Ying paused, “The zombie virus may have come from an alien planet.”
Luo Ying’s world hasn’t reached the stage of interstellar migration yet, and hadn’t encountered any extraterrestrial life, and thus didn’t know that there were many life-sustaining planets in a universe.
Luo Ying’s conjecture was very bold, but not many believed in it. She didn’t even expect that Jiang Li would believe in her conjecture either.
“Oh.” Out of courtesy, Jiang Li gave a short acknowledgement.
Predicament from an alien planet was nothing unusual. There was nothing to fuss over it.
“I once went to the space agency of a certain country and managed to find the near-Earth monitoring data right before the outbreak of the zombie crisis. I found that an object resembling the wreckage of an alien spaceship had fallen into the ocean. Maybe the zombie virus came from that spaceship’s wreckage.”
Luo Ying brought Jiang Li to the command center and showed him the data that the reconnaissance team had brought back some days ago.
“I sent ten fourth-stage enhancers to investigate the present conditions of the ocean. They discovered that the number of first and second-stage zombies in the ocean has drastically dropped, but the number of third stage and above zombies have massively increased.”
“Moreover, the people that returned reported that ordinarily, first and second-stage zombies would pounce upon any human they see, even if that person was a fourth-stage enhancer. However, this time, all first and second-stage zombies behaved as if they were scared, hiding as much as possible, and fled at their sight.”
Luo Ying presented a few blurry photographs: “These are shots of zombies fighting among themselves.”
Although blurry, Jiang Li could make out scenes of shark, octopus, and dolphin-like zombies gnawing at each other with ferocious violence.
“Zombies’ main targets are living organisms. They rarely attack their kind unless they have a certain purpose.”
“I have witnessed a zombie killing all the first and second-stage zombies in a small town just to evolve into the third stage, about three years ago.”
“I suspect that the same thing is happening in the ocean, but it’s not as simple as mere evolution to the third stage,” Luo Ying said seriously.
The aquatic lifeforms were numerous and if they were to turn into zombies, their number would be astronomical. Now almost all these zombies have vanished. Where had all their cerebrum that disappeared with them gone?
The power contained in these cerebrum was enough to amass several fifth-stage zombies, possibly even more.
Luo Ying concluded: “The zombies want to birth a sixth-stage zombie!”
Just as a sixth-stage enhancer could overcome the zombie crisis, a sixth-stage zombie could obliterate humanity.
Sixth-stage zombies within Kyushu would be akin to Body Integration Realm. However, in Jiang Li’s observation, the cultivation system in Luo Ying’s World was too crude. Even if they reached the sixth stage equivalent to Body Integration Realm, they would probably not even be able to beat the base level of Body Integration Realm – Xuan Ai Daogu.
As the strongest person of the fifth stage, Luo Ying could roughly sense how much energy would be needed for a fifth- stage to evolve into the sixth. By a conservative estimate, it would require at least fifteen fifth-stage zombies’ cerebrum, a number that existing humans could not possibly amass!
If humans had the capability to kill fifteen fifth-stage zombies, they would have already solved the zombie crisis a long time ago.
Luo Ying pointed at the ocean on the map: “Moreover, those third, fourth, and fifth-stage zombies all seem to be converging in this direction. And this position is roughly where the wreckage of the alien spaceship fell.”
The difference between the fifth and sixth stage wasn’t significant to Jiang Li, and he could easily handle them: “If that’s the case, then I will take care of those in the sea… Um?”
Jiang Li suddenly paused, lifted his head abruptly, and looked in a direction. He sensed signs of space being torn apart there.
In the sky above the planet, amidst countless abandoned satellites, space twisted, and a small golden tower appeared in space. The form of the small tower was vague, as if separated from this world by layers of thin membranes.
“Are there any similar kinds here?”
The small golden tower looked at this planet and asked casually.
A space appeared behind the tower, filled with Buddhist light. Sacred and solemn, monks and novices were chanting sutras. It was an immense sight, just like another Mount Sumeru.
The small tower was naturally the Fan Tian Tower.
“Answering my Lord, yes, there is one of our kind who piloted a spaceship and came to this planet. By now, ten years later, this planet should be dominated by our own kind,” replied a monk in kasaya, his hand placed against his chest in a gesture of respect.
If any enhancer saw this scene, they would be downright frightened. These weren’t monks or novices at all, but a group of zombies!
And they were high-level zombies, most of them fourth and fifth stage, and there were even sixth-stage zombies!
“Amitabha,” Fan Tian Tower shook its body, feeling helpless towards the immeasurable karma caused by the zombies.
After it crossed into this world, it found that there was nothing that could be called living beings around it.
Heaven, earth, gods, humans, ghosts, insect, dracaena, scales, feathers, and larvae, none of these ten categories of living beings existed; there were only zombies.
It thought it came to the wrong world and accidentally entered the Underworld, so it tried to find another habitable planet. But the results turned out as before, nothing but zombies.
This planet only had one zombie, a sixth-stage zombie. It was evolved by killing all the living beings and zombies on the planet.
The intelligence of this zombie was not inferior to humans, only like an infant, its IQwas far from sufficient. As the Fan Tian Tower, naturally skilled in Buddhist Law, it believed in Buddha and had the idea of saving it.
And it actually succeeded.
This zombie was still in the learning stage. To Fan Tian Tower’s surprise, it had agreed to convert to Buddhism under its persuasion.
The Fan Tian Tower sensed that the zombie’s thoughts were chaotic and needed guidance. The Buddhist Law was just the right tool for people to understand the truth and open their intelligence, so Fan Tian Tower considered subjugating the zombies.
Heaven Seal wouldn’t be faster than it.
When the Immortal Artifacts gathered in the future to overthrow the tyrannical rule of the Human Emperor and establish the Spiritual Treasure Dynasty, it would have something to flaunt in terms of merit.
Moreover, even if it didn’t establish the Buddha Land, Fan Tian Tower still needed to subjugate the zombies.
It could see the harm of the zombies, which was a disaster that could destroy a planet. Moreover, sixth-stage zombies even had the ability to travel in space. Wherever it descended, that planet would be destroyed.
According to the sixth-stage zombie, there was originally another sixth -stage zombie, but it had already traveled to other planets.
Accompanied by this sixth-stage zombie, Fan Tian Tower returned to the original planet wanting to convert all zombies, but it found that fourth and fifth-stage zombies were relatively easy to convert. The conversion of those below the fourth stage would be very difficult, consuming a lot of time. Even when the fourth and fifth-stage zombies were converted for a while, it was hard to keep it for a long time. They need a long time to repeatedly recite the sutras.
Fan Tian Tower couldn’t stay on one planet converting zombies only. As the sixth-stage zombies traveled interstellar, they were spreading the zombie virus. Maybe other planets were deeply plagued by the zombie crisis, and humans needed it to save them..
