Blood rose like rain, accompanied by feeble wails and sobs.

This time, even the ghastly howls sounded mournful, and as the blood thinned, there was not even the strength left to struggle or glare in anger.

Only choked weeping arose, mixed with pleas, so faint.

Incomprehensible.

Everyone came here for a banquet, so why haven't they even seen the feast before nearly turning into the dish?

Stop drawing it out, stop!

A family member's life is still a damn life!

Tears surfaced in the crimson eyes, almost choking: Do you hospitals only care about patients, completely indifferent to whether others live or die?!

Unfortunately, reality is often disappointing.

Sorry, yes.

"No…"

When Ji Jue's voice rose again, Director Qian didn't even let him finish, waving his hand, "Transfuse!"

At this moment, his bloody sutured face, which previously bore a malicious grin, unexpectedly revealed a trace of satisfaction and appreciation.

Looking at that figure, battling on the operating table to save mother and child, it was like seeing a radiant, promising future rising!

With such doctors around, how could the Undying Disease remain uncured?

How could patients remain untreated!

This was exactly the fighting spirit that was needed!

He couldn't help bursting into a wicked laugh, and if it weren't for his status and the setting, he would have raised his arms and shouted encouragement this very moment!

"Alright, Director!"

When Ji Jue's shout resounded, Director Qian again waved his hand without a second thought, "Transfuse!"

But when they had almost completely drained the relatives' blood and soul, he realized something was off…

"Is it enough?"

He furrowed his brows, "Are you sure? Such a difficult procedure, perhaps it's better to be prepared."

"It's fine, it's almost enough."

Ji Jue tilted his head, signaling to Tong Hua, who was completely numb, to wipe his sweat.

His eyes were illuminated by the ether's glow.

At this moment, his perception completely ignored the outside world, focusing solely on the living Melting Furnace. Invisible and visible hands intertwined as if from within the Fierce Flames, overlapping, merging completely into one.

Through repeated trials and reconstructions, the two spiritual Ghost Fetuses had drastically transformed beyond recognition.

And in this unending torment and mutilation, the original ferocity and frenzy had utterly vanished; now, two pairs of eyes, filled with tears, seemed purer and cleaner than a freshman stepping into a new college.

After enduring Ji Jue's challenges, they dared not resist even slightly anymore.

They moved as directed, whether it was to stretch a leg or turn over.

At this moment, Ji Jue's fingers hovered in mid-air, motionless, only delicate yet sharp vibrational spiritual threads extending from his fingertips, weaving intricately, enveloping the creation.

For a moment, he felt as if he was nearing the essence of Spirit First.

The core of Ascension lies in the unquenchable desire for transcendence in the soul.

Yet the existence of the spirit is based on the presence of will and thought. At this moment, forgetting everything and immersed in this tormenting refinement, after countless trials and constructions, he once again felt…

His own soul's presence, his own existence, or rather… the existence named Ji Jue.

As the spiritual material was stimulated, his thoughts and considerations, his will seemed to expand from the spiritual material, converging on his hands and even, spreading out!

Following the myriad threads of spiritual material, it truly became the Invisible Hand.

Without needing to painstakingly search or feel, at this moment, everything became so real; he only needed to think, and the spiritual material would transform according to his will, extending, shaping!

To truly, hold those two distinctly different souls in his hands!

Snap!

That moment, a crisp illusionary sound emerged from his consciousness.

The old world shattered, and a brand new world emerged before his eyes, born amidst the omnipresent vibrations of Spiritual Fluctuation, everything becoming so clear.

Everything, under his control!

Inside Ji Jue's soul—around the Matrix as the main body, encircled by the two blessings "Heavenly Skill" and "Spirit First", a completely new Spiritual Circuit and structure unexpectedly appeared, linking the two!

It was done!

Ji Jue's eyes brightened: This was the linkage between blessings that Professor Ye had spoken of!

It was merely the interaction between Embers and Ascension, extending the effects of Spirit First to Ji Jue's hands, the complete penetration between will and body, causing Heavenly Skill's influence on the spiritual body to leap in quality and improve!

At the same time, the linkage between the blessings also made the refinement of Non-attack swifter and quicker.

The operation between the blessing and the Matrix became smoother and more efficient than ever before, as if shaking off dust, breaking free from shackles, returning to its rightful form!

And at this moment…

"—Mission accomplished!"

With a cheer from Ji Jue, his hands raised high.

Under the holy light of the operating lamp, in his hands, the newborn, finally freed from torment and abuse, cried out loud!

The wailing was resonant.

At this moment, whether it was the mother under the light or the family members crawling on the ground unable to rise, they also couldn't hold back their emotions and joy, their eyes instantly welling up with hot tears!

Only, watching the baboon lift the lion cub-like image, Tong Hua felt that if the situation had been appropriate, she would have had to sing a song of eternal life as a BGM beside it.

It really wasn't easy, not easy at all.

The surgery that tortured the body of the opponent and polluted the spirit of the team member had finally been completed.

And just as she focused her gaze and looked at the newborn in Ji Jue's hands, the corner of her eye couldn't help but twitch—others had given birth to two, how come only one remained in your hands?

No, it's still two...

Both damn sewn up by Ji Jue!

Two fiercely spiritual ghost fetuses, under Ji Jue's extensive transformation and refinement, continued to bite each other, so that regardless of which one was completed alone, the other would never leave it be.

Since that's the case, it's better to treat them as one!

Of course, an important reason was also that Ji Jue's work was so rough that he wasted many materials... but now, at least the bizarrely stitched infant still appeared intact.

Just like stitching by Director Qian, along with the current joyful smile of Director Qian, it really made one suspect the blood relations between the two.

"Not bad, really not bad, to perform so impressively on your first attempt!"

The eerie doctor approached and examined the infant in Ji Jue's hands—now the ghost fetus's left side of the face was filled with anger and misery while the right side had a starving smile and madness.

Amidst the ever-changing expressions, from time to time, a translucent spiritual skull was squeezed out from the flesh, exposed in the air, so bizarre.

Even now, both still battled endlessly within the same body, like two vortexes colliding constantly, yet this time, they could no longer damage the now whole body. On the contrary, whether they ate each other or grew, both would turn into common sustenance and spiritual substance. The more they ate, the bigger they grew and the bigger they grew, the hungrier they became, never sated.

Under the transformation of Non-attack, they had become half alive and half object-like, half a monster birthed by Time Ruins, and half a mad spiritual alchemy product.

"Um, five kilograms, mother and child are safe!" Director Qian nodded contentedly, "The surgery was perfectly completed!"

Yes, indeed, safe, still breathing!

A numb Tong Hua muttered under her breath: Could it not be considered perfectly done if one could simply breathe under Ji Jue's evil clutches?

And Ji Jue, now had begun to play with his brand-new creation.

He casually squeezed, and the ghost fetus spat out a crimson frost wind from its mouth, drastically dropping the temperature of the entire room.

"Wow, baby, you are a hairdryer!"

Ji Jue exclaimed in surprise, squeezed again, and four eyeballs suddenly shone, gray mist spread, the cries were loud, disturbing one's soul, making one tremble with unease, "Wow, baby, you are a smoke bomb!"

And after the residual spiritual substance was devoured by the ghost fetus, it astonishingly grew two more arms, two half-split faces cracked open showing gaping bloody mouths, sticky saliva dripping.

That brought about Ji Jue's delighted call: "Baby, you are a refrigerator! Double doors!"

"Um, not bad, not bad."

Director Qian nodded appreciatively, "Since you personally assisted in the birth, let's leave the newborn's care to you, get along well with the patients, giggle giggle..."

Amidst the eerie laughter, the Suture Doctor dissolved into the darkness and disappeared.

And when the operating room door opened, the remaining family members as well used their hands and feet to scramble out, fearing that taking another breath in this haunted place would result in forced blood donation.

After watching the bizarrely shaped nurses push the parturient away, Tong Hua, not knowing how many times she had sweated, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She turned her head and was met with a sight that darkened her view.

The 'newborn' that had just been born was now crawling chaotically on the ground at an incredibly fast speed, a metal chain was tied tightly around its neck, and Ji Jue was pulling on it.

"Tong Hua, look, it's so strange!"

Ji Jue wandered around with the child, marveling, "Suck~ Suck~ It's so lively after being tied up!"

"Is it you who is strange or it?"

Tong Hua instinctively moved backward, dodging, but the more she feared, the more excited the ghost fetus seemed to get, continuously crawling towards her... croaking messily.

What to say?

Watching the naive young lady being shocked and panicking, dodging here and there, was actually quite amusing!

Considering the mental endurance of his teammate, Ji Jue eventually tightened the chain after having enough fun, and picked up the constantly wriggling ghostly thing in his hand.

"Um, that was really thrilling, just barely made it through one ordeal." Ji Jue remarked, then turned back to ask, "I'm sweating, how about you?"

"What do you think, you damn thing!"

Tong Hua rolled her eyes, carefully keeping distance from the thing in Ji Jue's hands.

"So, did you see it?" Ji Jue asked solemnly.

In the operating room, Tong Hua was present throughout, Ji Jue saw her touching many things including surgical instruments, the ether eye also quietly activated several times.

The matrix best at reading records and messages on objects, tracing history and past.

Extracting intelligence, there was nothing more convenient than the Taiyi System.

"I saw it."

Tong Hua nodded, stating, "They are all dead."

"…"

For a moment, Ji Jue was stunned in place, never expecting such a significant discovery from her, could not help but sigh in admiration: "You saw very well, don't see it next time."

Who the hell can't see that!

"What I mean is, they died before Time Ruins were formed, specifically... they've been dead for at least several decades." Tong Hua bore the dizziness, her complexion growing paler, "They died painfully, very, very painfully."

As if fallen into Purgatory...

Tormented in Purgatory, returned to nothingness, leaving only the shell, wandering in Time Ruins, turned into ghosts.

"See for yourself."

She reached out her hand and touched Ji Jue's forehead.

Thus, images of the past charged like a roar, vast like a tide.

Rushing forth!
