No one knows what Zhou Li went through in the end.
A brutal fight, or a walk in purgatory. Anyway, the crown of the Holy Tree was completely shattered in the end, and the injuries suffered by Zhou Li were such that even the most powerful Physician Radiant exclaimed after seeing it, expressing that he could not understand why someone could survive after suffering such injuries.
Half of his body was completely lifeless, the nerves in both eyes were severed, the Achilles tendons were ruptured, both feet were amputated, and his right arm was almost turned into powder. One-third of the heart was cut off, and the brain seemed to have been violently hit by a heavy hammer, almost completely deflected.
When a jungle explorer saw Zhou Li like this in the dense forest, he immediately concluded that the other person was just a corpse. If it weren't for the sword in Zhou Li's hand still shining with a faint luster, I'm afraid Zhou Li would have been sent directly to the morgue and died in a ridiculous furnace.
After gathering the power of all the doctors in the entire Gaia continent, Zhou Li's life was finally barely saved. However, the horrific injuries on his body caused him to lose almost all abilities, and he could not even return to consciousness.
"Is there any other way?"
Looking at Zhou Li who was placed in the solidified crystal and the body that was almost half missing, Herinin, the Lord of Tariq, looked heavy and his eyes were full of worry: "Even if the original power cannot be restored, at least... Let him wake up and have his own consciousness."
"This kind of injury... I'm afraid only God can heal it."
The brilliant-level doctor on the side gave a bitter smile, shook his head and said: "Even if I, no, even if all the doctors gather together, we can't heal the brave man's body, after all..."
Looking at the horrific injuries and the almost breathless young man, even the doctor who was used to seeing people separated from life and death couldn't help but feel a little pity. It was hard for him to imagine how strong a person who had suffered such pain would have to survive.
Sometimes, life is scarier than death.
"One breath of obsession still exists, this is the current situation of the brave."
Sighing and shaking his head, the doctor handed the life-extending herbs to his subordinates. The doctor said: "What I can do now is to maintain his life and ensure that his physical symptoms will not continue to deteriorate. The rest is just I can put my hope in God.”
"God..."
There was contemplation in Herinen's eyes. Zhou Li was briefly awake at that time, but his body was no longer able to allow him to make any movements or speak. However, Herining noticed the anger and resentment in Zhou Li's eyes.
Anger, resentment.
As a monarch who did not trust the gods from the beginning, Herinen instinctively felt that Zhou Li's anger was directed at the gods who forced him to go to Hades. Therefore, he did not choose to seek help from the gods immediately, but summoned doctors to treat Zhou Li's injuries.
But···
Sighing silently, Herinen felt unprecedented pressure. Gods were completely untrustworthy to him. He could not believe that the being who had forced Zhou Li to this point could heal him.
But the question is, besides God, who else?
In the high tower, Herinen's figure was stretched by the setting sun. He looked at the gradually falling afterglow, with only loneliness in his eyes.
"The sun will set, and the sea will leave. The temple will eventually collapse, but the human heart will last forever."
Herrinen crooned the verses of the decapitated King Louis XIV. The person he once understood least was now the artist he most admired.
The human heart, the temple.
Which one is the way of this world?
"Father."
Wearing heavy silver armor, Tiya opened the door, and a warm halo of light hit her shoulders, but there was no warmth at all. Her expression was very calm, like a calm lake, without any ripples.
But Herinen still remembered that when the speechless Zhou Li appeared in front of everyone, the girl who had always been strong and gritted her teeth and persisted even if her arm was broken, burst into tears in front of everyone, sobbing.
The calmer Tiya's expression is, the more it proves how hard this steely girl is "hardening" herself. She couldn't fall, and she didn't dare to fall, so she exposed the hardest side of steel.
The same goes for Eluma beside her.
She was still wearing the beautiful blue dress, and her delicate cheeks were not stained, and not even tiredness remained on her face. But this kind of Eluma gives people a sense of fatigue that is about to collapse. However, she still stood upright in front of the crystal, staring at Zhou Li.
Until Zhou Li recovers, she will hold on and do whatever it takes.
"Seek help from the gods."
Closing his eyes, as the leader of a country, Herinen, who had seen too many storms and waves, could not bear to look at the two girls in front of him who were heartbroken but holding on to everything.
He knew that his daughter loved Zhou Li, and so did Eluma. It is not only the love between men and women, but also sublimates all friendships.
Herinen has a very good relationship with Zhou Li, and he also has a very deep understanding of Zhou Li. Kind, funny, gentle, and those eyes that always carry equality and pride. Such a young man tried his best to treat Eluma and Tiya, but they gave their love to Zhou Li, which was fair.
Sugar, water, flowers, white sand, warm sun... They are the most beautiful substances that meet each other, gently showing their pure and bright hearts.
But the world did not treat the three of them gently.
"I will personally visit the three gods of life, elements and death and ask for their help."
Taking a deep breath, Herinen looked at the astonished Tia and Eluma and said calmly:
"You stay here, I'll do it."
"Father!"
Tiya was shocked: "You want to visit the three gods in person? But..."
Eluma on the side was equally surprised and very hesitant. They knew that Herinin and Zhou Li had been secretly planning to weaken the influence of the Twelve Gods in Tariq. If Herinen comes forward to ask for help now, the Twelve Gods will definitely use this matter as a threat to make him hand over his rights.
In this case, their efforts will be in vain.
"worth."
Heirinen breathed a long sigh of relief and said firmly: "Zhou Li is the core. Without him, even if we succeed in the end and are briefly expelled at twelve moments, in the end, we will still be crushed by the general trend."
"So... some things are not transactions, but necessary actions."
Both Tiya and Eluma were silent. For a long time, Eluma faced Herinin and bowed, with only sincerity in her trembling voice.
"Thank you...Uncle Herinen."
On December 21, 1999 in the New Calendar, with the help of three gods and hundreds of doctors, the brave man Zhou Li recovered his vital signs.
At the same time, Khrinin announced the transfer of power and the opening of faith.
