Chapter 104

When he came out of the room, Gu Ding realized that the room he was in was just a tent, and the other people here lived in tents of different sizes.

Gu Ding was a little curious as to why the old man wanted him to help refine the purification medicine. However, he soon realized that the Witch Tribe seemed to be in a strange state, as if everyone's body was in pain.

"My name is Oldman, and I'm the high priest of this tribe. Our tribe has been cursed for some reason, and we're constantly suffering from illness. Our tribe's lifespan has been greatly shortened. The lifespan of a Rank 1 Gene Body has been reduced to one-tenth of its original lifespan, and Rank 2 to Rank 5 Gene Bodies have been reduced to one-fifth of their original lifespan. Many young people in our tribe have died because of this curse … I know that you can refine D-grade medicine at most, so you can treat Rank 7 and below Rank 7 Gene Bodies. As for members of Rank 8 and above, you don't have to worry about them, "the old man explained slowly as he leaned on his walking stick.

"Are you sure the purification medicine will work on this curse?" It was the first time Gu Ding had heard of a curse that shortened a person's lifespan. The curse sounded powerful, and the purification medicine might not work.

"Yes, the curse sounds very powerful, but because it's cast on a large area, the power of the curse that falls on everyone is relatively weak. It's within the scope of purification medicine," Oldman nodded as he explained.

Oldman led Gu Ding to another tall, thin man and introduced him, "This is our Lawton. He will take you to a medicine refining room where you can be undisturbed. If you need any materials, you can look for him directly. Lawton, this is our pharmacologist guest. Try to satisfy his needs. "

Lawton was tall, thin, and had dark skin. He looked like he was in his early twenties. He looked at Gu Ding. "But Sir High Priest, he looks …"

"Lawton, Mr. Gu Ding is a genius pharmacologist," Oldman interrupted Lawton. "Take him to the refining room!"

As Gu Ding followed behind Lawton, doubts arose in his heart. This was 14.6 billion years ago, and it was impossible for the people here to see his and Lilliath's wanted posters. The three of them had not revealed their names to anyone in the tribe, so how did Oldman know their names?

Gu Ding quickly followed Lawton to the medicine refinery. It was a separate tent, very quiet, and well-equipped. With Neptune's help, he handwrote a list of materials and handed it to Lawton. The language of this era was completely different from that of Gu Ding's era. Gu Ding only copied the sample provided by Neptune. He did not even know what he was copying.

Lawton took a look at the list and didn't ask any questions. He turned around and left the tent.

"Neptune, how trustworthy was the Witch Tribe in the Middle Ages?" Gu Ding walked around but did not find any watchers.

"You finally thought of asking this question." Neptune laughed when he heard this question. "Do you think that a race that slaughters human planets at will, uses humans as sacrifices, and comes up with all kinds of ways to eat human flesh will really talk business with humans? In other words, would you humans do business with Swine Beasts? "

"But isn't the Witch Tribe also a branch of humans?" Gu Ding did not understand.

"There are many branches of humans, but many of them don't think of themselves as humans. For example, the Witch Tribe, the Giant Tribe, the Murlocs …" Neptune said bluntly, "To be honest, humans have never been a likeable race."

"Let's put this topic aside for the time being. I've already promised these guys to help me make the purification medicine. The medicine will be done by tomorrow night at the latest … You should've stopped my plan. "

"If I stopped you from making a deal with them, they would've nailed you to the cliff first thing in the morning and fed you to the raptors on the mountain. With Lilliath's physique, she would probably die in less than an hour. Biggie should be able to hold on for more than three hours. As for you, without high-speed regeneration, you can only hold on for an hour and a half at most. Your internal organs will be torn out by those feathered beasts and eaten as a delicacy. "Although Neptune's description was bloody, it was also true. "Only by making a deal can you buy time and let you live longer!"

"Slow down the process. Once the space-time backtracking is over, everything will be over," Neptune suggested. "This is the only way. You can't escape under the nose of a Rank-12 Gene Body powerhouse. You can only wait until the space-time backtracking is over."

"Is there no other way?" Gu Ding was a little reluctant. Neptune's suggestion was too passive.

"For now, there is no!" Neptune gave a negative answer.

Not long after the two finished their discussion, Lawton came in with a nine-year-old boy carrying a pile of medicinal herbs.

"This is part of the materials. Arthas and I will go and get them a few more times. You can start refining now." Lawton did not take Gu Ding seriously.

"Brother Lawton, can I stay and watch him refine?" The boy seemed to be interested in refining medicine.

"Your name is Arthas?" Gu Ding's heart jumped when he heard the name.

"I just did a data comparison. He's Arthas. His time and space match. He's the first Witch Tribe deity in Dragon Soar Cosmic Nation." Neptune lowered his voice in Gu Ding's ear.

"That's right, I'm Arthas!" The blond boy replied confidently.

"Arthas, you're trying to be lazy again!" Lawton reprimanded him.

Arthas reluctantly followed Lawton out of the tent.

"Is it a coincidence that we're here?" Gu Ding frowned slightly. "Arthas looks like he's almost ten years old now. He's only a Rank-1 Gene Body. Under the curse, he shouldn't be able to live past ten years old. But it just so happened that we encountered space-time backtracking and appeared here … "

"Do you think this space-time backtracking is man-made?" Neptune voiced out Gu Ding's guess. "Although it makes sense, as far as I know, space-time backtracking is something that even deities can't do."

"Whether it's a coincidence or not, if we cure this Witch Tribe group, history will repeat itself. Arthas will become a deity and rule the entire Cosmic Nation. He will enslave humans and extract the abilities of human powerhouses for his own … That dark history will become my doing … "Gu Ding found it hard to accept.

"That's history. It's already happened. You can't change it!"

"What if I kill Arthas? That kind of thing won't happen again, right? "Gu Ding asked.

"History that has already happened is irreversible. If you kill an Arthas, another Arthas will appear and do the same thing. Even if this tribe is eventually wiped out because of the curse, another young man named Arthas will appear in another tribe and do the same thing. "Neptune's explanation finally calmed Gu Ding down a little.

"Well, since I can't refuse the treatment, I can only make them pay enough for this treatment!" Gu Ding narrowed his eyes slightly.
