Eastern: I love doing good things-Chapter 183 : Beyond the Three Realms, outside the Five Elements

There was no dramatic phenomenon because, from the moment he began his cultivation, he had already polluted this world.

The unknown valley where Fang Yuan resides has undergone earth-shattering changes in just a few days.

The original blue skies and white clouds have turned into swirling red vortexes, like blood crusts oozing from a decaying wound.

The stream flowing through the valley has transformed into a crimson swamp, and the lush grass has been replaced by a carpet of crimson fungus.

The trees have all withered, their branches twisted like countless dead hands reaching toward the sky.

The animals here have also become grotesque and terrifying. The birds in the sky are enormous, with sparse feathers and beaks like serrated teeth.

The ground animals have red eyes, their bodies entwined, exposing mottled flesh.

In addition, there are the blooming flowers of decay scattered everywhere... Compared to the original lush green hills and rivers, the place now has a sense of tragic, apocalyptic beauty.

"Good thing I wasn't cultivating in the city, otherwise, everyone there would probably end up looking like this..."

Looking at the distorted surroundings, Fang Yuan couldn't help but exclaim. The citizens had just recovered from the plague and now they were infected with the Crimson Decay again... Tsk, their lives are really miserable.

Thinking of this, Fang Yuan gave up on the idea of making the Decay Goddess happier. Goddesses need a little pampering, but overdoing it would be too much.

Fang Yuan glanced at his health bar again. Hmm, after the "Crimson Decay" was perfected, his "Eternal Green Wood Body" began to take effect again, and his health was starting to recover...

Wait, something seems off. He looked again.

Fang Yuan quickly realized what was wrong. His original 100,000 health points were now only 80,000!

Where did the other 20,000 go?

Why didn't his health increase after cultivating a Dao body, but instead decreased?!

Did the "Sutras of the Good People" cheat him?

But Fang Yuan quickly realized that this was a side effect of cultivating the "Crimson Decay." The decay ability not only affects enemies but also affects the cultivator themselves.

If anyone else had cultivated this Dao body, they would likely have undergone a drastic transformation due to decay, becoming physically weak and fragile.

But since Fang Yuan had awakened the "Fourth Calamity," he didn't have to worry about this. He still looked fine, and his body remained strong. The only price he paid was a reduction in his health bar's upper limit.

But... he could totally accept this!

"I guess I'll restore this place before I leave. It's not good to destroy the environment..."

Fang Yuan placed his palm on the ground and activated the "Eternal Green Wood Body," preparing to restore vitality to the valley.

With the burst of life, the surrounding plants and trees became lush again, but after a brief moment, they again became distorted and decayed...

Fang Yuan furrowed his brow. Did it fail...

It seems that the power of "Crimson Decay" takes precedence over the "Eternal Green Wood Body."

But that's understandable. The "Eternal Green Wood Body" cost him about 300,000 merit points, the same as the "All-Encompassing Golden Body."

But this "Crimson Decay" took over 500,000 merit points, draining all the profits he had earned from killing invaders.

"It looks like only time can restore this place..." Fang Yuan shook his head helplessly. He kept the power of "Crimson Decay" tightly contained within his body, not letting it leak out, then lightly tapped his toes and flew into the air.

In the capital of Hanhai Province, at the main office of the Town Protector's Bureau, Qi Yuan is sitting in the general's chair, legs crossed, his head tilted back, nostrils upturned, with a wide, exaggerated smile on his face.

"Don't say, even though it's made of wood, this chair is way more comfortable than the others!"

Qi Yuan chuckled lightly. As a deputy general, he used to have to respectfully stand by and listen to the general's lectures. No matter how the general insulted him, he had to endure.

But now it's different. The general has been killed, and his body was probably disposed of somewhere. Most of the other deputy generals are dead too. Now, in Hanhai Province... he is the highest-ranking left.

One of his subordinates is following suit, flattering him: "Congratulations, Lord Qi! You've done a splendid job completing the task assigned by Lord Fang. He'll surely entrust you with an important responsibility. You might even become the next general of Hanhai Province!"

"Eh... you can't say it like that." Qi Yuan humbly waved his hand. "After all, I'm still just a deputy general. My cultivation is insufficient to be the general."

Although he said that, he himself thought the chances were high. After all, the other provinces of Yan country are suffering from demonic invasions. They probably wouldn't be able to send a Seventh Realm expert to take over as the general of Hanhai Province.

This would make him the beneficiary.

His former general and colleagues were all fools. They insisted on dying with honor. But Qi Yuan thought, why not just acknowledge the enemy as a master when they came, and then recognize the court when it showed up? Wouldn't that be wonderful?

In the end, he not only survived, but might also get promoted, enjoying more wealth and glory...

"Task completed?"

Just as Qi Yuan was basking in his own success, a cold voice suddenly rang out from beside him.

Qi Yuan was startled and immediately jumped up from the general's chair, kneeling on one knee and saying, "Lord Fang!"

His subordinates quickly followed suit, both of them dripping with cold sweat. When did this person appear?

"Lord Fang, this humble one has followed your instructions and redistributed manpower to retake all the states of Hanhai Province!" Qi Yuan quickly caught his breath and reported in a composed tone.

"The people have been properly resettled, and the dead have all been buried. We also used lime to disinfect and prevent plagues from spreading."

"The various magical tools left behind by the invaders have all been collected and stored in the warehouse of the Town Protector's Bureau. Lord Fang can inspect them at any time."

"Not bad, you did well." Fang Yuan nodded. Before coming here, he had already inspected the various states of Hanhai Province and confirmed that the situation had indeed been brought under control.

Although Qi Yuan was a traitor, he was quite capable when it came to handling affairs. All of Fang Yuan's tasks were managed efficiently.

After receiving Fang Yuan's praise, Qi Yuan barely held back his smile. This wave was a success!

He immediately cupped his fists and said, "All this is for the court. I will serve with all my heart and soul, ready to die a thousand deaths!"

"Oh?" Fang Yuan's tone suddenly rose, the last syllable a little playful. "You just said you're ready to die a thousand deaths, right?"

Qi Yuan's face stiffened, and he stammered, "Yes..."

"Alright, then your next task is to obediently die. Go ahead and complete it now!"

Fang Yuan flicked his finger, and countless dense fungal spores shot out toward Qi Yuan.

These spores were invisible to the naked eye, like tendrils from a microscopic world. Without Qi Yuan noticing, they immediately attached to his body and infiltrated his pores.

This is one of the abilities Fang Yuan gained after cultivating "Crimson Decay." He could release "Decay Fungi," infecting the target and devouring them from the inside out.

It's like the process of creating a certain type of traditional medicine... Winter worm, summer grass.
