339 The Elimination Plan

At that time, his brother didn’t have any ability to resist at all!

“All of you had already existed back then?” Lin Ming asked.

“Indeed. That’s why we understand how terrifying this ancient curse is!” The Heavenly Emperor nodded and said.

This ancient curse made everyone feel imperiled. It could be said that no one dared to leave their residence!

“This thing simply doesn’t seem to have a root. One may clearly have always stayed in one’s residence and have never come into contact with the ancient curse, but one may still be infected by this ancient curse at any time. Once one is infected, one can only wait for death!” The Heavenly Emperor sighed.

“How many people died back then?” Lin Ming asked.

“At least half of all of us!” Lord Laotse said. His two junior brothers had died due to the ancient curse as well.

Back then, if one were to compare pure combat power, Lord Laotse’s second junior brother was probably even stronger than him.

“Half?” Lin Ming frowned and asked.

This number was too terrifying!

“An extremely long time had passed, so all of us thought that the ancient curse had disappeared. No one expected that the ancient curse would appear again!” The Heavenly Emperor said with a gloomy face.

“Who has just been infected by the ancient curse?” Lin Ming asked.

Since it was discovered, it meant that someone had already been infected by the ancient curse.

“Four to five void monsters have been infected! We have sealed them in space!” Lord Laotse said.

“The ancient curse will not appear all at once on everybody, people will be infected slowly!” Zhu Jiuyin told a fact that made everyone feel despair!

Because it gave people the feeling that they could only wait for death, which was a terrifying feeling!

“In other words, every one among us has the possibility of being infected,” Lin Ming nodded and understood what they meant.

“Will ordinary cultivators below the Nascent Soul Realm be infected by the ancient curse as well?” Lin Ming asked again.

“Yes,” The Heavenly Emperor nodded.

“So half of the population in all worlds will perish,” Lin Ming nodded, indicating that he understood how terrifying this ancient curse was.

“Since the ancient curse has this ability, what’s the need of investigating?” Lin Ming sneered and said.

“What do you mean?” Lord Laotse looked at Lin Ming and asked.

“It must be Heaven’s Order’s doing! Only Heaven’s Order has such ability.”

All the worlds were under the control of Heaven’s Order.

Who else besides Heaven’s Order possessed such power?

Even the strongest people in the world couldn’t resist the ancient curse.

Moreover, anyone from the strongest to the most ordinary person had a possibility of being infected by the ancient curse.

“We’ve thought about it before, but that’s not the case,” Lord Laotse shook his head and said.

“How do you know?” Lin Ming sneered and asked.

“Because we can talk to Heaven’s Order. Heaven’s Order said that it wasn’t him. He also said that if he wanted to do such a thing, there was no need for him to go through so much trouble,” Lord Laotse said.

“This is indeed the case,” The Heavenly Emperor also nodded, indicating that he deeply believed in Heaven’s Order’s words.

With the power of Heaven’s Order, he could wipe out all worlds, including the void, with just a random thought.

There was no need for him to go through so much trouble to do these things.

“So you believe in the words of Heaven’s Order?” Lin Ming sneered and said, “Heaven’s Order already possesses emotions and selfish motives. In fact, there are many things that you don’t have to believe.”

He had interacted with Heaven’s Order before. It was said that if Heaven had emotions, even Heaven would grow old.

However, it was a fact that Heaven’s Order now had emotions, and he had even specially raised a group of creatures to do things for him.

The void monsters in the void were such existences.

As long as it was something that Heaven’s Order did not like, or if it was inconvenient for him to make a move, he would have the void monsters make a move. After all, the void monsters could even wipe out an entire world!

“Furthermore, half of the population will be dead. No one other than Heaven’s Order can control the numbers so accurately,” Lin Ming said. Who had the ability to so strictly control the number of deaths?

After all, among the deaths, there was this group of the strongest experts.

“Previously, we had also suspected that it was Heaven’s Order’s doing. However, Heaven’s Order has an elimination plan, added to his denial, so I removed the suspicions,” At this moment, Lord Laotse said.

“An elimination plan?” When Lin Ming heard this name, he frowned again, “Tell me about it.”

When Lin Ming heard this name, his instinct told him that it was nothing good. Even the name itself gave people a sense of despair.

“It is to rebuild the world,” Zhu Jiuyin said at this moment.

“In layman’s terms, it’s the destruction of all the worlds and the rebuilding of the world,” Buddha also said from the side.

“I see,” Lin Ming suddenly recalled what Hades and the other two had said. They were also planning on destroying all the worlds to obtain the opportunity of leaving the world.

At that time, the good guy in the middle had also said that even if they did not do it, Heaven’s Order would do it.

“Why would Heaven’s Order do such a thing?” Lin Ming asked.

“It’s said that the world can’t sustain so many living beings, so it has to be rebuilt!” Buddha said.

“I think Heaven’s Order may just be bored,” Lin Ming snorted and said.

“Since it’s an ancient curse and we need to investigate it, there’s no hurry. I’ll be right back,” After Lin Ming finished speaking, his figure disappeared on the spot.

“Fellow friend Lin Ming, please hurry!” The Heavenly Emperor said from behind.

At this moment, Lin Ming had arrived at the new God’s faction.

“Hades, fellow friends, I’d like to meet all of you!” Lin Ming’s voice entered the ears of Hades and the other two.

“Why is he here again?” Hades had just gotten a little better now. Upon hearing Lin Ming’s voice, he couldn’t help but tremble.

“It can’t be that he wants to harm us after he found out about our plan, right?” That androgynous guy also appeared.

“No matter what, let’s meet him first!” The guy in the middle frowned and said.

He also didn’t welcome Lin Ming’s arrival, but because he was afraid of Lin Ming, he had no choice but to meet him.

“Fellow friend Lin Ming, do you have something you need for looking for us this time?” The good guy in the middle cupped his fists at Lin Ming and asked.

“Of course. I believe you must know about the ancient curse,” Lin Ming nodded and said.

“Yes, I do know. Why are you mentioning this matter, though?” The guy in the middle nodded and asked.
