Healing spells copy everything, I've cleared the Abyss

"I guess you could say we knew each other. He was a really nice person... what a pity," Lin Ye sighed softly in reply.

Upon hearing Lin Ye's words, the two priests opposite him hesitated...

Does Lin Ye know Instructor Ouyang?
This was indeed somewhat beyond their expectations, after all, they had never heard the instructor mention that he knew Lin Ye!
However, they still agreed with Lin Ye's words.

Although Instructor Ouyang is usually so strict as to be almost abnormal, and some of his demands are so demanding that they are difficult for people to adapt to.

But without a doubt, the priests who came from his command were all absolutely elite, and they were also among the group with the lowest mortality rate in the abyss.

He was simply trying his best to help as many people as possible survive when facing the monsters of the abyss.

He has even sacrificed his own life to create a temporary safe zone for the two priests.

Instructor Ouyang was actually very talented, but for some reason, he never broke through level 40 and remained at that level his entire life without any further improvement.

At this point, after Lin Ye said that Instructor Ouyang was a good person, the two priests no longer had any intention of opposing Lin Ye.

Clearly, Lin Ye's recognition of the frustrated instructor Ouyang stirred up some extremely difficult-to-understand emotions in their hearts.

"Could you...please help Instructor Ouyang?" the fat priest asked, even using honorifics when addressing Lin Ye, the Vatican's number one enemy.

Upon hearing this, the curly-haired priest next to him was immediately alerted, remembering that Lin Ye was the only person below level 100 who had mastered the Holy Healing Technique!

In another dimension, the Holy Healing Technique has the miraculous effect of bringing the dead back to life. Although it can only be used once, wouldn't it be perfect to use it to revive Instructor Ouyang now?

Lin Ye shook his head and said, "His soul has been used as fuel to ignite the holy flames; there is no possibility of resurrection..."

This situation is truly rare. Even with the most powerful Holy Healing Technique, it is impossible to conjure a soul out of thin air.

This is clearly beyond the reach of human capability; it's simply not something Lin Ye could accomplish.

Upon hearing this, both priests became somewhat disheartened.

What Lin Ye said wasn't something difficult to understand. As clergy, they understood better than anyone else that the Holy Light was never omnipotent.

Just like now, even the renowned Lin Ye couldn't save Instructor Ouyang.

"I want to take the Rising Sun Monument, are you still going to stop me?" Lin Ye asked again.

If these two insist on blocking his way, Lin Ye will show no mercy, even if he considers them both to be decent people.

At least they all knew that the instructor who sacrificed himself for them was not the kind of guy who only thought about his own interests.

Curly-haired and Fatty remained silent for a while before finally stepping aside.

They could tell that Lin Ye genuinely felt sorry for Instructor Ouyang's sacrifice.

This is also what made it impossible for them to continue blocking Lin Ye's way.

"Thank you!"

Lin Ye gave a polite reply, then strode past the two men and headed towards the sacred monument.

As he approached, the flames on the sacred monument seemed to sense his presence and burned even more intensely.

As expected of a weapon exclusive to the Holy Flame, the Holy Stele didn't even require Lin Ye to extend his hand; it rapidly shrank and flew directly in front of him. The originally large stone stele now resembled a small token in front of Lin Ye, which was quite miraculous.

As for Instructor Ouyang's body, which was sitting upright with his hands clasped together, it was blown away by the wind after the sacred monument left, and scattered like ashes, rising with the wind and gradually drifting into the distance.

Seeing this, Lin Ye disregarded the sacred monument and bowed deeply in the direction the ashes had gone.

Although he and Instructor Ouyang were just 'strangers' in this life, it did not stop Lin Ye from feeling regret over Ouyang's departure.

"Back when Instructor Ouyang was about your age, he was sent on a mission by the Vatican. The mission team suffered a setback, and with the Vatican's rescue efforts failing to materialize, Ouyang was fortunate enough to receive help from the Allied forces and was able to return to the Vatican safely."

"Afterwards, the Vatican, citing the failure of the mission, ordered him to never break through level 40 for the rest of his life, so he never broke through the level 40 limit."

Lin Ye said calmly.

This was something Lin Ye had stumbled upon while reviewing personnel files after becoming a bishop in his previous life. Ouyang himself had never mentioned it to anyone, focusing instead on diligently training batch after batch of priests.

In fact, Ouyang's talent is absolutely top-notch. If he hadn't been restricted by the Church, he could at least have become a fourth-tier professional instead of being stuck at level 40 for his entire life, unable to advance any further.

Of course, this is also his choice to stay true to his beliefs, so it's hard to say whether it's right or wrong.

Upon hearing this, both priests froze on the spot.

What Lin Ye said is so similar to their current experience.

Although it wasn't the Alliance that saved them, it was Lin Ye, whom the Vatican's higher-ups hated even more.

It's almost certain that they won't have a good time when they go back...

"It's about time we left."

Lin Ye held the sacred tablet in his hand. More than ten days had passed since he entered the palace.

According to the demons' plan, it wasn't accurate to a specific day or time, but rather based on the time Lin Ye left the alternate dimension of 'Plague Apocalypse'.

After Lin Ye leaves, the demons will begin to summon their followers and instruct them to prepare at specific locations.

When the time is right, their memories will be unlocked, allowing them to fulfill their duties as 'keys'.

The entire process should take approximately one hour.

In other words, after Lin Ye completes the exploration of this alternate dimension, he only has about an hour left for the Demon Hunter Army and Lin Ye to carry out the operation of hunting down the 'key'.

It's obviously impossible to remove all the 'keys', but removing a certain number of 'keys' is enough.

As long as the resulting interdimensional riots are kept within a manageable range, it will be fine.

It's simply impossible to capture all the 'keys' in one fell swoop. It's already quite fortunate and difficult that Lin Ye was able to keep the scale of the riot under control by following the list provided by the Demon Hunter Army.

Under such circumstances, there is simply no way to ask for more.

So now, only one final step remains before the demons begin their plan: Lin Ye's conquest of 'Plague Apocalypse'! (End of Chapter)
