The Heavenly Dao Tablet was silent for a long time. Just when Ding Ning was getting impatient, it spat out the words "Apotheosized God" and didn't say a word no matter how much Ding Ning asked.
Ding Ning immediately understood that this was the most the Heavenly Dao Tablet could say without touching the taboo. He couldn't help but frown and think deeply.
Although the Heavenly Dao Tablet was very vague, its meaning was very clear. Apotheosized Gods could ignore the shackles of heaven and earth and break through to the Immortal Realm.
But he faintly felt that things weren't as simple as he thought. Ming Di was known as the strongest person in the Three Realms. With his strength, he should have no problem entering the Apotheosized God List. Why didn't he break through to the Immortal Realm?
Of course, with the help of the Great Emperor, he could be considered to have the strength of the Immortal Emperor. But this kind of power was not the same as breaking through to the Immortal Realm normally.
In Ding Ning's view, if the Heavenly Dao was the chairman of a company, then Ming Di, the Human Emperor, and the Immortal Emperor were the CEOs of the three departments of the company. All the power in their hands was bestowed by the chairman.
Their power was only effective within the company. Once they left the company, they would immediately lose the halo and all the privileges of the CEO.
This puzzled Ding Ning, but the Heavenly Dao Tablet couldn't say anything because of the taboo. It made his heart itch like a cat scratching at it.
But he also knew that this was the limit of what the Heavenly Dao Tablet could give him. Not only would he not get an answer if he forced it, he might even harm the Heavenly Dao Tablet. He could only suppress the curiosity in his heart and ask seriously, "What is that grey mist?"
"The Mandate of Heaven."
The Heavenly Dao Tablet only replied with two words. This made Ding Ning even more confused. He wanted to smash the Heavenly Dao Tablet into pieces and grab it by its neck to ask for an explanation.
Unfortunately, he knew that this was probably a taboo topic. No matter how unhappy he was, he could only suppress it. His eyes rolled around as he pondered on how to avoid the taboo words to get an answer. Suddenly, a strong wind blew by and he felt his body lighten. Like a willow catkin, he flew into the sky. After a moment of dizziness, his consciousness returned to his body.
At the same time that he was shocked, he was overjoyed because he discovered that the grey mist that had invaded his body had turned into a grey seed in his sea of consciousness, quietly floating like a docile sheep.
The grey mist was still continuously seeping into his skin, but at this moment, it could no longer cause any harm to him. It flowed along his meridians and flesh, continuously entering the grey seed.
Even though he didn't know why this happened, he knew that the so-called zombie virus wouldn't be a threat to him for the time being.
"Hahaha, now your greatest support will soon become a mindless zombie, and you will soon follow in his footsteps. Now, I will give you one last chance. Kneel down and beg for my forgiveness. Maybe I will consider not turning you into zombies and leave you with a whole corpse."
Joseph's domineering voice suddenly rang in Ding Ning's ears, causing a terrifying murderous intent to flash across his eyes. However, the zombie virus would spread through the air, and he had to absorb all of it to prevent his father and the rest from being infected. Thus, he could only suppress his murderous intent and absorb the zombie virus with all his might.
"Joseph, I have to say that you have successfully angered me. Even if I become a zombie today, I will kill you before I die," Joseph's domineering voice suddenly rang in Ding Ning's ears.
Dragon King clenched his teeth and said with fury in his eyes.
Ding Lie stared at Ding Ning, who was surrounded by the grey mist. His entire body trembled, and his eyes were already filled with dense blood capillaries. Even though his son, whom he had been separated from for five years, had brought him surprises again and again, he didn't think that his son could survive the zombie virus' attack this time.

Thinking that his son, whom he had not seen for a long time, would soon become a zombie because of him, he felt as if his heart was being pierced by a knife. Thus, he, who had always been silent, went completely berserk. Without any declaration or any sign, he suddenly emitted an extremely terrifying aura.
Like a peerless heavenly saber being unsheathed, with an unparalleled sharpness, he instantly turned into a huge saber radiance. With a terrifying pressure that could destroy the world, he slashed at the conference room brazenly.
"Stop. Look who this is!"
Joseph felt that his soul was trembling under the terrifying saber radiance. The strong threat of death made his soul almost leave his body. In a moment of desperation, he pulled the Water Martial Soul in front of him and quickly took out a gun to point at Ding Ning's head. He hid behind the Water Martial Soul and shouted at the top of his lungs.
Puff!
The terrifying saber radiance stopped abruptly. Ding Lie had no time to forcibly withdraw the saber intent, which caused him to suffer a very serious backfire. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, he stared at the Water Martial Soul in shock and doubt and trembled, saying, "Who … who are you?"
Meng Wenhan and Duan Xiaowu were also stunned. They looked at the familiar face of the Water Martial Soul in astonishment and subconsciously looked at Ding Ning, who was shrouded in gray mist. They did not know what was going on. How could there be two Ding Nings?
Previously, the Water Martial Soul had been kept in the corner of the laboratory by the biochemical warrior with a gun to its head. From their perspective in the arena, they could not see him at all. Therefore, the appearance of the Water Martial Soul at this moment shocked them.
Dragon King had never seen Ding Ning, so he naturally did not know what the appearance of the Water Martial Soul meant. He looked at Ding Lie in surprise and did not know who this young man was. Dragon Teeth, who had always been calm, had actually lost his composure like this.
Joseph breathed a long sigh of relief. As someone who had been planning for more than 20 years, how could he not pay attention to Dragon Teeth's every move? Others did not know that Ding Ning was Dragon Teeth's son, but he had long suspected it. Now it seemed that his guess was right. Ding Ning was indeed Dragon Teeth's son.
Seeing Ding Lie's look of hesitation, Joseph felt very happy and could not help laughing. He said with a playful tone, "Dragon Teeth, don't tell me that you don't even recognize your own son, Ding Ning?"
"What? He is your son? "
Dragon King was shocked and opened his mouth wide in astonishment. He looked at Ding Lie with a strange expression and asked in a low voice, "You have two sons?"
"I don't know what's going on. I only have one son."
Dragon Fang replied blankly, his eyes staring unblinkingly at the Water Martial Spirit. Up to this point, he was also stupefied. He didn't know what was going on. If Joseph was holding Ning 'er hostage, then who was the one being enveloped by the virus?
Dragon King opened his mouth wide in shock and subconsciously looked at Ding Ning, who was shrouded in the gray fog. His expression became extremely strange. If the person being held hostage by Joseph was Dragon Teeth's son, then who was this unfathomable invisible man?
The Water Martial Soul smiled bitterly. Without Ding Ning's permission, he did not know what to say now.
As for being held hostage, hehe, there was no such thing. It was just a mere Joseph. He could casually release his soul power and kill him. However, Ding Ning did not give the order, so he could only stay still and did not even know what to say.
It had to be said that human beings were selfish, even Ding Lie was no exception. Seeing that Ding Ning was being held hostage, he was not shocked but happy.
After all, in his mind, the invisible man who claimed to be his son had been eroded by the virus and was about to become a zombie, while his son was still alive and well. Even if he was being held hostage by Joseph, at least he was safe now.
Of course, he could not be blamed for having such thoughts. After all, whether it was the experience that Ding Ning had told him or the powerful strength that he had shown, they all made Ding Lie feel unreal and unfamiliar. Between the real and fake son, he naturally subconsciously thought that the one being held hostage by Joseph was the real Ding Ning.
The one held hostage by Joseph was the real Ding Ning. After all, this was in line with his impression of his son.
"Big brother, what's going on? How can there be two Ning 'ers? "
Meng Wenhan and Duan Xiaowu were both confused. They moved closer to Ding Lie and asked in a low voice.
Ding Lie shook his head. "I also don't know what's going on, but I think that the one being held hostage by Joseph is the real Ning 'er."
Meng Wenhan and Duan Xiaowu looked at each other and had the same thought as Dragon King. If the one above was Ning 'er, then who was the one before?
Sister Qiao 'er stood in the corner with a gun pointed at her head by the biochemical soldier. Looking at the silent Water Martial Soul, she had the same question in her mind. "Which one is the real Ning' er?"
"Have you thought about it? My patience is limited."
Joseph pushed the Water Martial Soul forward, put his finger on the trigger, and opened the safety. He threatened in a gloomy voice.
Calmly glancing at the zombie king, who was standing motionless in the same place since the gray mist gun was sprayed, he frowned slightly.
The Zombie King's behavior was too quiet, so quiet that it was abnormal. It was completely different from the bloodthirsty and cruel behavior in the past, making him feel extremely uneasy. He decided to end everything as soon as possible and immediately ordered people to freeze the Zombie King.
The zombie king was covered with viruses, but it was extremely afraid of the cold. No, strictly speaking, it was the zombie virus that was extremely afraid of the cold.
To put it bluntly, the zombie king was a carrier of virus parasitism, and all its activities were carried out by the virus's instinct.
Once the ambient temperature suddenly dropped, the virus' activity would be greatly reduced, and the zombie king would also become weak. When the temperature dropped below zero, the virus would stop any activity, and the zombie king would also fall into a deep sleep. This was also the biggest reason why Joseph was confident that he could control it and dared to release it.
"Kneel down and kowtow, or I'll send him to hell now."
Seeing that Ding Lie and others remained silent, Joseph grabbed the hair of the Water Martial Soul angrily, put the gun against the back of its head, and said with a ferocious face.
"I, Ding Lie, would rather die standing than live on my knees. If you want to kill me, just kill me."
Ding Lie straightened his back as if he was relaxed, and said ruthlessly and coldly.
Meng Wenhan and Duan Xiaowu's faces changed, and they cried out involuntarily, "Big brother …"
"Shut up. Ning 'er is my son. He will understand. What's more, do you really think that he will let Ning' er leave alive after we kneel down and beg for mercy? Since we're going to die anyway, why not die with more dignity? "
Ding Lie shouted sternly, and then turned his eyes to the Water Martial Soul. His calmer eyes finally fluctuated, and he said softly with guilt and tenderness, "Ning 'er, don't blame me. Don't worry and go. I swear that even if I die, I will drag Joseph to hell with you."
His tone was unprecedentedly gentle, but it carried a firm and unquestionable killing intent, which made Joseph feel cold in his heart.
"Good, you'd rather die standing than live on your knees. Dragon Teeth, I didn't misjudge you. You're a man."
The Dragon King suddenly clapped his hands and laughed, and said disdainfully, "Since we're going to die anyway, let's give it a try. Let's see whether the magical Area 51 is really a dragon's pool and tiger's den."
"Kill!"
Ding Lie's answer was concise and decisive. As soon as he finished speaking, he moved at the same time as Meng Wenhan and Duan Xiaowu. They took the lead to besiege the zombie king, because they knew very well that if they wanted to kill Joseph or even save Ding Ning, they had to get through the zombie king first.
