Chapter 2741

No one knew the Evil God’s true purpose, but his actions revealed his wicked nature. No other deity would risk offending the gods of all universes to do such a thing, yet the Evil God did.

"None of us know the Evil God's goal. Since we are ignorant, saying more is pointless," Zhu Yanyi spoke first. "We should just help as much as we can. I only hope she doesn't cause a huge mess."

"Should I be glad the Plague God isn't here?" Yan Aohan suddenly asked.

Indeed, if the Plague God were present and joined the Evil God’s chaos, the situation would be unpredictable. Sometimes, having only one troublemaker without help is a relief.

Huangdi agreed with Yan Aohan. "It is good the Plague God is gone. Otherwise, who knows what trouble they would cause together?"

If the Plague God existed, he might be the Evil God’s friend, leading to a universal catastrophe. Or they might be enemies, creating unknown dangers. Regardless of their relationship, their presence would surely cause great turmoil.

"All we can do now is prepare for prevention," Xiandi said.

Unaware of the Evil God’s motives, their only option was to stay alert and prepare.

After recovering her energy, Zhu Yanyi noticed that gods from both the Supreme Universe and the Initial Universe had entered a state of high alert.

"The Evil God must feel proud seeing this," Zhu Yanyi thought. "So many gods panicked for her alone."

Although the Initial Universe looked normal, the atmosphere was tense.

"Huadi wants to see you. Do you wish to meet him?" Yan Aohan asked.

"See me?" Zhu Yanyi’s mind raced. "Is it because I saved her divine people?"

Yan Aohan nodded. "That is the only reason he would want to see you."

"Then I will go," Zhu Yanyi said. She knew it didn’t matter much, but Huadi was the ruler of the Initial Universe. Refusing was not an option.

Yan Aohan notified Huadi, who invited them to the Haori Palace.

The Haori Palace differed from the Mo Palace and the Yan Palace in the Underworld, yet it remained the residence of a universe’s ruler.

"Empress Yan, I must thank you," Huadi said directly. "If you hadn’t intervened, I would have been caught off guard by the Evil God’s sudden attack."

"You flatter me, Huadi. Your Initial Universe has a Medicine God. I was just there by chance, so it became my credit," Zhu Yanyi replied modestly.

Huadi smiled lightly. "I trust our Medicine God, but before he arrived, you had already healed everyone. Your medical skill is undeniable." He added, "It seems you are also a medical cultivator."

Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. "I have always followed the path of medicine, so yes, I am a medical cultivator." She was clear about her path.

"In a few days, our Initial Universe’s Medicine God will return. You can exchange experiences then," Huadi said.

"That sounds good," Zhu Yanyi agreed with a smile. She would never refuse anything beneficial to medical arts.

"Empress Yan has done much for us. I have little to offer in thanks, except that our Library Palace contains books on medical arts. You may read them anytime," Huadi said seriously.

Zhu Yanyi’s eyes flashed with surprise. Books varied across universes. Huadi’s offer to let her read the Initial Universe’s texts was a sincere gesture of gratitude.

"I might refuse other gifts, but not medical knowledge. I will not refuse," Zhu Yanyi said directly. "Huadi, I won’t thank you formally."

Huadi waved his hand. "When Empress Yan wishes to read, just ask Yundi to guide you."

"Thank you, Yundi," Zhu Yanyi bowed slightly to Yundi.

Yundi hurriedly waved his hands. "Please, do not be polite." He then smiled. "Seeing your medical skills, I realize good medicine has great benefits."

Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow. "Does the Initial Universe look down on medical arts?"

"Not look down," Yundi didn’t answer. Huadi did. "In the Initial Universe, medical cultivators are somewhat marginalized.

Medical cultivators exist to benefit the world with their skills. But in the Divine Realm, even with divine people, few get sick. Thus, medical cultivators must go to lower realms.

Without rare, difficult cases, their cultivation stalls. So far, only Li, the Medicine God, has become a deity. Others are stuck in the Immortal Realm or abandon medicine for other paths."

Zhu Yanyi raised her eyebrows. "Why do you think medical cultivators can only treat patients? I ascended from a low-level cultivator to an Immortal by healing a plane’s sky—commonly called 'mending the sky.'

Later in the Immortal Realm, I suppressed the spread of the Evil Buddha, ascending to a deity. Healers can do more than treat people. For example, righteousness overcomes evil. A healer can use righteous energy to suppress evil. There are many such cases. Don’t you know this?"

Huadi and Yundi exchanged glances. Yundi quickly asked, "Empress Yan, do you mean medical cultivators could be key to countering the Evil God?"

"I don’t know if it’s key. I only know medical cultivators shouldn’t limit themselves. Medicine saves lives, but a qualified Medicine God can also seek ways to suppress the source of evil. That is also a medical cultivator’s duty."

Zhu Yanyi never hid her experience. She preferred to pass everything on, hoping more people would benefit.

Hearing Zhu Yanyi’s insights, Huadi and Yundi understood her mindset. They both raised their eyebrows. Huadi asked, "Empress Yan, are you not afraid others will learn from you?"
