Primordial Altar.

In front of Qi Sheng, Wang Yu's attribute panel was floating.

Currently, Wang Yu's flesh and blood had long been devoured completely, and his body was an amalgamation of the Immortal Virus, which had devoured Wang Yu's flesh and blood.

Under normal circumstances, the Immortal Virus would re-edit the life cells during the infection process.

The originally intricate network of signal transmission between neurons would be destroyed and then reshaped by the virus. The functions of neurons would be altered, and the original neural pathways for generating self-awareness, emotion, memory, and other cognitive functions would be modified to form a virus-directed reflex circuit.

This reflex circuit would make the infected only respond to specific stimuli, such as the scent and temperature of fresh flesh, an energy source desired by the virus.

Thus, the virus would drive the infected to attack other life forms, enabling its own propagation and growth.

However, the individual's cognitive self would have disappeared during the infection process.

The behavior patterns of the Immortal Zombies are not based on the life form's self-awareness but rather the "commands" set by the virus for its own continuation.

From the consciousness level, the self-awareness of the infected has already disappeared, and it's the Immortal Virus controlling the body.

But this is the process of a normal life turning into an Immortal Zombie after being infected by the Immortal Virus.

As a player, Wang Yu is protected by the Purification Rules, one of the Four Pillar Rules, instantly erasing the power that invades the Spiritual Sea.

In other words, the virus, while killing Wang Yu, failed to seize control of this body.

Wang Yu's current flesh is a conglomeration formed by the virus devouring his flesh and blood, but his consciousness remains the same as before.

This is also why the attribute panel would show: Immortal State.

In this special mode, although Wang Yu's physical fitness has been enhanced, the operational rules and structure of life have changed.

In this mode, the player controls the virus, so they can no longer use the Life Soul Characteristic in the Star Vein Slot, and secondly, because the body has not been purified, they cannot return to the Imperial Tomb Village space.

In the Immortal State, players can choose to be directly decomposed by the All Things Extraction Rule and return to the Imperial Tomb Village for remolding.

Or they can choose to continue surviving in the Immortal State.

This is equivalent to giving the player an additional battle strength weakened version of life.

However, the physical attribute enhancement brought by the Immortal Virus is only suitable for close combat players. Magic players, once infected, would have their Spiritual Strength reduced to 0 and be unable to use the Magic Soul, resulting in a substantial decrease in combat power.

At this point, Qi Sheng's gaze turned to the Player Forum.

The forum was already abuzz with discussions about the "Immortal State."

[The situation is a bit ridiculous; it all started when I got infected with the Immortal Virus.]

As doomsday arrived, while others were desperately seeking weapons and hoarding supplies in preparation to fight zombies to the death, I accidentally awakened to become a Corpse King after being infected by the virus.

In the apocalyptic environment, human civilization teetered like a candle in the wind.

Should I continue to strive to maintain my humanity or push further down the path of becoming a Corpse King in this new world of the survival of the fittest, until establishing my immortal empire?

Humanity? Bestiality? Where should I go from here?

Sorry, I've got the wrong script; let me switch to another one.

Here's the situation: during the testing of mining robots by our Doomsday Technology Guild, we unexpectedly discovered an underground cavern....

As a result, my arm came into contact with the Immortal Virus, which ultimately led to me entering the Immortal State, essentially becoming an Immortal Zombie.

In this state, I was unable to use my Life Soul abilities or return to the Imperial Tomb Village space.

Only after a second death could I enter the small black room for Resurrection Cooldown.

I feel this has significant potential for development; haven't people always complained about the Resurrection Cooldown setting? Now there's finally an opportunity to have two lives.

Aba Aba: Pretty much useless, right? What can we Magic players do after becoming an Immortal Zombie? Stand at the back and clap for our teammates?

Go with the flow: It seems more suited to close combat players, but seeing you rolling around in pain in the video, I don't think close combat players would necessarily use it. In comparison, the Stone Statue Stream players, who bear the brunt of the pain daily, seem more suited to this; they can rise again to fight after dying.

As if in a dream: The Immortal Virus has already been delivered to our Alchemist Guild. Leave the side effect issues to us; when the time comes, we'll sell you the Immortal Potion for painless Corpse Transformation. Recently, we've been developing a dual anesthetic for both the physical and spiritual levels; if successful, gene seeds and Immortal Potions will surely sell big. I've already foreseen a large amount of sacrificial power coming in.

Dark Night Will Come: If the pharmacists can truly develop a spiritual anesthetic, the Immortal Virus would be a must-have for close combat fighters. When their health is about to run out, a strong dose could transform them into Immortal Zombies to continue fighting. No matter how much improvement it brings, living an extra minute is always good.

Beaver: Okay, okay, the gameplay options are increasing, and even the Zombie Stream has appeared. I can already imagine the scenes of various factions flying and escaping a few years from now. You guys really know how to play.

The appearance of the Immortal Virus sparked heated discussions on the forum.

During this time, the Alchemist Guild, also at the players' request on the forum, decided to allocate more manpower to the research of the Immortal Virus.

Through Guidance, players learned that the Immortal Virus infection is only effective on life forms below Level 85, as those with higher Life Strength can easily resist the Immortal Virus.

At this stage, close combat players' bodies seem like a Qi-Blood Melting Furnace, where the Immortal Virus cannot survive at all.
