[As the primary source of power for a high-ranking demon, once the heart is also embedded with star spirit eyeballs, it carries a level of overwhelming power far beyond what the human body can endure. Let alone a child’s body, even an adult Erudite Scholar could not withstand it.]

[Because of this technical obstacle, the laboratory has no choice but to continue using children’s hearts as the core of the body. But most human hearts are already diseased, and to find a heart without any disease is no exaggeration to call one in ten thousand.]

[At that time, the number of children that had to be sacrificed to create one qualified body was simply impossible to estimate.]

[And the number of qualified bodies the school needed was enormous. Supply could never meet demand. Every time one qualified body was made, the wandering souls of countless children wailed and wept in grief.]

[The Chairman of the Multivision Headquarter told him that he was merely a transplant doctor with no strength. Even if he saw these miserable scenes, he could not contend against the vast school, nor could he change the situation in any way.]

[But at the same time, he was also the best transplant doctor in the Imperial Capital, and his transplant skill had already surpassed the limits that his predecessors had been able to achieve.]

[Rather than refuse to yield and die in some dark corner of a prison, it would be better to serve the school. If he could conquer the problem of the heart and perfectly combine the children’s bodies with demon hearts, then the number of children sacrificed would be reduced by countless times.]

[He, Bennett, could reduce the number of victims, while the school could also obtain more of the bodies it needed. It was a win-win situation…]

[After saying all this, the Chairman locked him up again and told him to consider it quietly.]

[He thought for a long time. Indeed, he was just a physically weak transplant doctor. Other than having superb transplant skills, he had nothing.]

[Let alone those Multivision Scholars, he could not even beat a single guard without scholarly talent. Even if he saw these tragic scenes, he was powerless to change anything.]

[The one thing he could do, the only thing he could do, was conquer the problem of the heart and reduce the number of those sacrificed.]

[Even though he knew this was a deal with the devil, he had no other choice. He could only move into the laboratory as the Chairman required and overcome the experimental problem…]

[After moving into the laboratory, he worked without sleep or rest, devoting himself entirely to overcoming the heart problem. He only hoped to obtain the final transplant method sooner, because if he could overcome the problem one moment sooner, countless people could thereby escape disaster.]

[Perhaps it was the true Lord’s will, perhaps it was the true Lord’s arrangement, but he very quickly overcame that technical problem.]

[At first he felt deeply invigorated, yet at the same time he felt deeply sorrowful.]

[Because the final transplant method demanded an extremely high level of skill. Apart from him being able to carry out the final heart transplant surgery, no one else could execute this transplant method perfectly.]

[This also meant that he would have to spend the rest of his life in the laboratory, and his entire life would be spent performing these filthy, nauseating transplant surgeries for the school.]

[The moment he realized this, he made up his mind to overcome every technical difficulty, even to the point of synthesizing and modifying the bodies of demons and star spirits into qualified bodies, completely replacing human children as raw materials.]

[The Chairman soon learned of his intention and looked at him pityingly as he said that the children’s outer shells were the most crucial part of the transplant surgery. Even if he could conquer every technical difficulty, once the children’s outer shells were removed, the entire transplant surgery would lose its meaning.]

[What the school needs is not demon and star spirit bodies. What the school needs are precisely these powerful children’s bodies, selected layer upon layer, bodies that can satisfy the Prophets!]

[After saying that, the Chairman turned and left, leaving him standing there dumbfounded.]

[At that moment, he felt as though his entire world had collapsed…]

[So the true culprits behind everything, the hidden murderers holding the blade, were precisely those Prophets revered and worshipped by everyone, the very Prophets who ruled all things in the mortal world and stood closest to the great true Lord!]

[Was this also the true Lord’s will? Was this also the true Lord’s arrangement?]

[After learning the truth, it was as though he had lost his soul. He mechanically carried out transplant surgery, day after day, month after month, as if there were no end…]

[He no longer knew what meaning there was in continuing to endure. If even the Prophets, those closest to the true Lord, had become hideous devils, then did that not mean that the deity he worshipped, that greatest of all existences… was itself the most terrifying devil.]

[Only after each completed surgery, when he thought of how many children had escaped disaster because of that one perfect surgery, could he find the slightest meaning in his own existence.]

[At this point, Bennett’s eyes are already brimming with tears. He takes off the bird-beak mask and wipes the tears away with his sleeve.]

[Yet on his face, which bears many eyes, you see the familiar and horrifying… rotten sores!]

[Utterly shocked, you point at Bennett’s face and blurt out, This is…]

[Bennett sniffs and, after steadying his emotions, says that the True God’s Envoy need not be surprised. After coming into contact with that diseased tissue for so long, of course he would suffer infection.]

[This kind of infection cannot be removed with antibiotics, and even healing spells are ineffective. Perhaps it is fated. With his hands stained in countless blood, he too will ultimately die of infection because of transplant surgery.]

[You and Rona exchange a glance and both see the heaviness in each other’s eyes. Bennett is a transplant doctor, not a Scholar who knows the essence of the truth. He does not know that this is not an infection or disease at the level of flesh and blood, nor does he know that this is a sign of being tainted by Disorder.]

[The diseased tissue removed from those children’s bodies existed because, after years of inhaling the Veil of Knowledge, they had also taken in the Disorder within the mist together with it, which then produced this disease.]

[Removing that diseased tissue is equivalent to stopping the yet-unspread Disorder.]

[Of course, merely removing the disease can never possibly eradicate Disorder.]

[Having experienced the branch division of the Polar Star Society, you know that if the organs of demons and star spirits are combined and then implanted into a human body, then ignoring the series of technical difficulties, one can obtain an extremely powerful body, even one capable of breaking through the boundary between human and god by another method.]

[Therefore, what the Prophets need are these powerful bodies, from which most of the diseased tissue has already been removed, in order to use some hidden method to delay the spread of Disorder within themselves.]

[Because Disorder cannot be eradicated, those children’s bodies will eventually become completely eroded by Disorder.]

[These bodies, once completely eroded by Disorder, are disposable consumables. That is why the Prophets need the laboratory to continuously produce consumables in order to keep up with their own needs.]

[Having experienced the headquarters of the Polar Star Society, you also know that god-level powerhouses, existences like the Executor, can have their souls separate from their fleshly bodies and exist independently.]

[Then the method by which the Prophets use these clean and pure children’s bodies to delay the spread of Disorder within themselves becomes obvious at once…]
