The Shining Star Above The Heaven-Chapter 435: Treating Many at the Same Time
Chapter 435: Treating Many at the Same Time
Aldrian quickly treated all the infected people inside the mansion first. Afterward, he put on his mask before stepping outside. As he emerged, he saw that the front garden had already been turned into an emergency camp, where many infected people had gathered, seeking help.
The entire area, including the road connecting the mansion to other parts of the city, had become a treatment site. Dozens of physicians worked tirelessly to cure the disease. Patients lay on mattresses on both sides of the road, forming a line that stretched all the way to the city’s main streets.
The moment Aldrian stepped outside, he floated into the sky. It was only then that the people finally saw him emerge from the mansion.
"That is the city lord!"
"My lord, help us!"
"My lord, please help my child!"
"My lord—"
Countless desperate voices filled Aldrian’s ears, pleading for aid, but he had to ignore them—there was something he needed to do first before he could help them. Suddenly, his voice resounded across the entire city.
"Attention to all physicians within the city who are still treating patients. I am Caritas’s city lord, and I must inform you that this disease is caused by a special gu inside the bodies of the infected. The gu are extremely small and numerous, so you will need to focus your senses to detect them. These gu attack vital organs with poison, so you will find them there."
The physicians across the city who were treating patients paused their work, unable to hide their shock. This disease was actually caused by gu! No wonder their usual methods had failed to cure the infected.
"The only way to treat this is by using techniques specialized in destroying gu. Normal healing techniques will have no effect and may even agitate the gu, causing them to release more poison and kill the patient even faster."
"For now, I want all physicians to prioritize these groups: mortals, children, and cultivators at the lowest stages. Move them to a single location to make treatment more efficient."
"As for the rest, do not panic—I will personally work to contain this outbreak. All you need to do is remain calm. Agitation will only disturb the gu inside your body. Please, hold on a little longer."
After the announcement, the physicians did not take long to act, quickly moving according to Aldrian’s orders. They separated the people as instructed, and in no more than five minutes, the entire city had already been categorized accordingly. Without delay, they began using their gu-destroying techniques to treat the infected.
Only physicians at the Duke stage and above could move freely, and fortunately, at their level, they all possessed techniques specialized in eliminating gu. As experienced healers, they had encountered gu-related cases at least once in their lives.
Just as Aldrian had said, the physicians were finally able to sense the microscopic creatures swarming inside the patients’ bodies. They were astonished—until now, they had mistaken them for normal cells and completely overlooked their presence!
When they used their gu-destroying techniques, for the first time since the outbreak began, they finally saw signs of improvement in the patients. The complexions of the infected gradually brightened, and their pain lessened. Hope reignited among the people, and many couldn’t help but feel deep gratitude toward Aldrian.
Looking up, they saw Aldrian still floating in the sky, his eyes closed as if he were deep in concentration.
Inside Aldrian’s mind, he was already constructing the concept and method for a new technique specifically suited for this kind of situation. He had already shaped the foundation of how his new technique would work.
What he needed was a technique that could cover a vast area, turning it into a healing ground capable of channeling his golden energy. Fortunately, his golden energy made everything easier—he simply had to inject it into the patients’ bodies to cure them.
Since he was already within his domain, he could use it to speed up the creation of his technique. If he wanted to use this technique outside his domain in the future, he could refine it further, but that would come after resolving the outbreak.
The concept forming in his mind resembled a technique used by Angelica, the Saintess of the Church. Among all healers, she was considered the best when it came to treating large numbers of patients at once with her technique, Heavenly Sanctuary.
From his knowledge, Angelica’s Heavenly Sanctuary was a type of domain that had purifying properties, one of which allowed it to cure illnesses for anyone within its range. This was already well known among those who had received her aid in the past. She had faced several disease outbreaks before, and each time, she used Heavenly Sanctuary to heal entire afflicted areas. It was an incredibly effective and convenient technique for mass healing.
However, Aldrian did not want to simply copy Heavenly Sanctuary, as he knew that technique was not specifically designed to destroy gu. Instead, he wanted to develop his own version, one with a unique approach. With his golden energy—an energy that encompassed all—he could make the process even more efficient. He could eradicate gu without much effort, simply by altering the properties of his energy.
What he needed to figure out was how to inject his golden energy into many people at once without physically touching them. Separating and directing energy to multiple targets in close proximity was a common ability among cultivators.
However, what he needed now was to spread his golden energy across his entire chosen domain and allow it to seep into the patients’ bodies. This was the key difference between his technique and Heavenly Sanctuary.
For Heavenly Sanctuary, Angelica only needed to cast the technique, and everything within its range would be purified and healed. However, for particularly stubborn gu like those causing the current outbreak, that alone was not enough. What he needed was to directly inject his own energy into the patients to ensure complete eradication.
In theory, it sounded simple, but in practice, this was an incredibly difficult feat. Aldrian needed to spread his golden energy across a vast area while ensuring that each strand of energy precisely entered the patients’ bodies. Additionally, this technique would quickly drain his energy, posing a significant drawback.
However, Aldrian was willing to proceed despite these challenges, knowing that his domain could resolve them. Within his domain, he had an unlimited energy.
Suddenly, Aldrian’s body began to emit a radiant golden hue. The people watching him were mesmerized, their eyes fixed on the young city lord. They had never seen energy of this color before. The unique golden energy and its aura left them in awe, making them wonder what kind of laws and properties inside such an extraordinary energy.
Aldrian, using his domain, had already scanned the entire city, filtering and counting every single person in need of treatment. From the millions of people in the populace, he had identified those requiring medical attention. There were already more than 40,000 infected patients, and the number continued to rise.
From the moment he began developing this new technique to the completion of his scan, the entire process had taken less than seven minutes.
The golden hue surrounding his body grew even brighter. In the next moment, everyone in Caritas felt a subtle change in the air around them. Suddenly, a golden glow appeared around the patients who had yet to receive treatment from the physicians, instantly enveloping them.
Across the city, the same phenomenon unfolded—the golden hue spread everywhere.
Aldrian was transferring his energy through the atmosphere, allowing it to reach the patients’ bodies even from a great distance!
The golden energy blanketed the patients, remaining that way for a full minute. As the patients were enveloped by Aldrian’s golden energy, onlookers from afar could clearly see their conditions improving. Finally, when the golden hue faded, they saw healthy bodies in stark contrast to their earlier state.
There was no more pale skin, no bulging veins, no red eyes—nothing to indicate that these people had just been gravely ill. In fact, some individuals with congenital diseases also benefited, as the golden energy not only restored their health but even cured their ailments.
The physicians who witnessed this were utterly shocked, this feat defied their knowledge and understanding of power! How could Aldrian accomplish such a thing while merely hovering in the air, as if he were overseeing the entire city? He stood there, bathed in a golden hue, resembling a god descending from the heavens.
They had already done their utmost to treat the patients, yet their healing speed was nowhere near as fast as Aldrian’s. It seemed absurd. They understood that he was using his special golden energy to cure the infected, but it still didn’t explain how he could transfer his energy with pinpoint accuracy to many individuals across such a vast area, simultaneously! ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
They couldn’t even begin to fathom the mental state and sheer focus required to perform such an act. Even an Emperor-stage physician wouldn’t be able to achieve this feat.
Singularity.
There was no other word to describe Aldrian in the minds of the physicians. What he had just accomplished was already beyond their comprehension!
Yet, Aldrian did not stop there. Suddenly, a golden hue spread once more, blanketing the entire populace of the city below the Duke stage!
