Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

There were the sun, the moon, and stars in the “sanctuary” of the God’s Kingdom. They were just being projected, but they looked the same as those in the Main Plane.

Arcaian Pasteur, the God of Medicine, sat in his chair and looked calmly at the man opposite him.

He was a young man with golden hair and eyes. He was like sunshine itself with his strong vigor.

Of course, Arcaian knew that this man wasn’t young at all, but even older than most of the Gods of the Pantheon temple. action

As one of the heroes among the advanced fairies who had fought alongside the Goddess of Life, Buddy Brista, the Big Druid, had also been named the “Orc Judge.” He was a demigod. Although he hadn’t became a God, he was strong enough to compete with many Gods. Later, the Goddess of Life had disappeared, and most of the advanced fairies had disappeared as well. Only a few advanced fairies, including him, remained to protect the civilization of the fairies.

Years later, the Master of Mystery launched a war against the fairies. The war was very fierce, with many fairy Gods and advanced fairies dead or wounded. In that war, the Orc Judge had shown great strength and killed many oracles of the Master of Mystery, but the oracles had been outnumbered. Finally, the Orc Judge had disappeared during that war.

For nearly a thousand years afterwards, he never appeared in the world. Everyone thought he had died in that war. But about a thousand years later, he appeared again. His appearance looked the same as before, but his strength had declined dramatically, so he was in the Legendary Realm.

Buddy Brista didn’t care and continued his previous work. With a respected reputation as Big Druid, he always wandered around the Ancient Forest to fight against all acts that destroyed the balance of nature.

Clahot Pasteur, Arcaian Pasteur’s great-grandfather, was the student of Buddy Brista. Clahout had been enlightened from a fermentation legend that his ancestors had discovered and invented cheese, so when he studied the magic, he turned his research direction to the analysis and control of various microorganisms. Then he put forward the concept of “Ash of eternal decay,” believing that there was a great spirit in the world that controlled the decomposition of all kinds of microorganisms and maintained the operations of the world. From this concept, he had created a unique technique of Spagirism and applied it to fermentation and medicine. The famous Pasteur cheese and Pasteur liquor had been invented by him, and the Pasteur Spagirism School was formed.

But according to Spagirism, a Druid had to maintain the balance of nature. It was a betrayal of the Druid ideology that Clahot Pasteur had become an alchemist who distorted nature. He angrily declared Clahot Pasteur was a heretic and punished the ingenious scholar severely.

This didn’t scare the descendants of the Pasteur family. After Clahort, for three generations, the Pasteur family had insisted on the in-depth study and expansion of their own Spagirism School. Although there had been some tragedies, like Clahort’s son’s accidental death in an experiment, the Pasteur family studied continuously. After three generations of studying, the generation of Arcaian Pasteur eventually made great achievements.

Of course, Sui Xiong had also contributed to this outcome. If not for his inspiration and important ideas and experiences from Earth’s civilization, Arcaian would probably have needed a longer time to find the right research direction. Or maybe he, like his ancestors, wouldn’t come to the right conclusions even after a life of research. There would only be accumulated experimental data to represent his life’s work...

But Arcaian finally succeeded. With his research on bacteria, he organized and created a medical system that had never appeared before in the world, so the treatment of diseases and injuries could no longer only be done by spellcasters. He made a great contribution to the world and was approved by the World’s Origin, and then he became the God of Medicine.

It had been almost ten years since he had become a God. Overall, the ten years had been peaceful. Apart from the trial of the God of Fear, nothing unusual had happened in the Pantheon temple. Even the declining deity of the God of Plague wasn’t a big deal.

During the past ten years, Arcaian had been perfecting his doctrine system. His followers could generally be put into three categories: medical staff, clergymen who were keen on treating people’s pain, and recovered patients who had been sick or injured. Among these three kinds of people, the numbers of the first two wouldn’t increase substantially, but the third group had the possibility of increasing. Therefore, he emphasized on spreading his belief towards patients who had been sick or injured.

During his busy days, Arcaian often recalled his great-grandfather and father. According to the traditions of the advanced fairies, these two legendary masters couldn’t be executed directly. They were sentenced to be put into the Archaean Glacier and frozen.

According to the law of the Elf Empire, if the descendants of the Pasteur family made a great contribution, or the Empire had a great crisis and needed the strength of these sinners, they would be freed. Otherwise, they would be frozen in forever, never to be freed.

With Arcaian’s strength, of course, he could go straight into the Archaean Glacier and rescue his great-grandfather Clahot and his father Tuela. But he had been there three times and hadn’t found his great-grandfather or father. Instead, he had found several sinners that had been frozen there by Orc Judge Buddy.

Of course, these sinners had shouted that they had been wronged, but Arcaian knew that they were lying at a glance. It wasn’t very easy for ordinary people to deceive a God, so they were sent into the glacier again and frozen harder. Maybe next time the Orc Judge wanted to release them, he would find it embarrassing that he couldn’t thaw them...

Arcaian once considered finding Buddy and asking him to release his great-grandfather and father. Undoubtedly, as a kind God, Arcaian’s contribution was enough to release his two elders, but the Orc Judge was secretive to a fault. Arcaian hadn’t found him for years, so he had given up.

But he didn’t expect the Orc Judge to be in front of him!

Arcaian waited for Buddy to speak first, but he didn’t know that this elder would be so patient, not uttering a word. He just sat there and closed his eyes. After waiting for a long time, the young God finally exhausted his patience and said, “Mr. Brista, I’ll be frank. When are you going to release my great-grandfather and my father?”

Orc Judge Buddy opened his eyes, shot him with calm but emotionless glance, and shook his head.

“What’s up? Just tell me if you’ll release them or not!”

Buddy smiled slightly. He had the upper hand against the God, which made him feel very accomplished.

“Your achievements are indeed great. As far as all of society, in recent years, your achievements can be ranked in the top three.” He said this first, but before Arcaian could get too happy, he continued, “But... Does this matter to our forest or the Elf Empire?”

“Ah?” Arcaian was shocked and didn’t understand.

“We, the elves, live in the forest. Because we have a high proportion of spellcasters, we’ve never worried about diseases or injuries. Your anti-epidemic and treatment system is very useful for races like humans and Orcs, but not for us at all!” Buddy shook his head and looked regretful. “Unless you make a great contribution to the elves or to the forest, you can’t make up for the crimes of your great-grandfather and father.”

“They didn’t commit any crime!” Arcaian said loudly. “I proved that their research was correct!”

“They committed a crime,” Buddy said calmly. “Although their research turned out to be a great undertaking with your effort, it can’t change the fact that they committed crimes in the past.”

“That’s unreasonable! The Pasteur family is just doing scientific research and has never harmed even a single elf!”

“But your research on ‘decomposition’ has harmed many trees.”

“We replanted a lot of trees after that! And are these trees more important than people?”

“Your research is of no use to the Elves. Under these conditions, even trees are more important.”

Arcaian shivered with rage, hoping that a bolt of lightning would kill Buddy directly, but as a kind God, he couldn’t do this, as it was against his morals. In the end, he could only kick Buddy back to the world roughly and sit angrily in his God’s Kingdom.

After being angry for a long time, he finally made up his mind and went to ask Sui Xiong for help.

He didn’t want to bother His Majesty for personal matters, but this time, he really had nothing left to do but turn to his Master God.

“B*stard! Buddy Brista! The Orc Judge! You fuddy-duddy! You’ll see! When I get my majesty’s help, I’ll definitely go rescue my great-grandfather and father. At that time, I’ll shut you in the Archaean Glacier and freeze you for a hundred years to let you know the pain they suffered!” As he walked, he grumbled with a smoldering look, “I will do what I’ve said today!”
