My Bottle Cosmos-Chapter 683 - 630 Flaw in Longevity

"This universe is ultimately very mysterious."

Li Qing looked at his sand table universe, a feeling both strange and familiar enveloped his heart.

He had become the true ruling Emperor of the universe, the Creator God of this universe!

In terms of mythical legends, he was the God of this era, Hongjun, ruling over a Saint Era.

All that he could see was his territory, overlooking below, all heavens were his subjects.

Yet everyone has their era of peak rule.

Small like the Emperor, Minis, Atabia, they once ruled a brilliant era in a small world.

Large like the Dark Matter Alliance, the Power Council, they ruled the ancient eras of the prehistory universe.

But once, they too shone gloriously in an era, leading humanity forward, only to be submerged in the long river of time.

Perhaps one day, he would also become the next Power Council, overthrown by successors.

"I must continue to hide, this era is turbulent, and the blueprint is only half complete."

He shook his head, "I need to continue perfecting the sand table, creating races, the first batch of Thunder Ancient Gods, Light Ancient Gods... should be born."

...

Year 120 of the Ancient Tree Era.

A hundred years have passed, the ruins on the ground began to fully recover.

After the basic completion of the cosmic order, civilization entered an unbelievable era of golden authority!

Every day new powerhouses ascended from the lower realm heavens.

And the Innate Ancient Gods, Innate Tao Artifacts, these controllable three thousand "remote controls," have all disappeared, no longer grasped by the beings of the era.

The world consists of Postnatal Ancient Gods.

Which means, no matter how powerful people of this era become, they will still grow old and die!

This is a very bizarre yet wondrous phenomenon of nature; the universe ascended dimensions, allowing powerhouses to reach higher realms, but their lifespans were cut short, becoming finite!

In the incomplete rule of the low-level prehistoric universe era, they could still live forever.

With improved rules...

Their lifespans shockingly began to shorten drastically.

And Tang Xia, Geb, two historical remnants, ascended as two new Postnatal Divine Kings, began to rule this era.

Moreover, they discovered that as the framework of this universe, with the completion of order, started to change completely, the rules had a new form, and they began to calculate the length of lifespan through the collective power of all beings.

Theoretically, the strongest Ninth Layer Ancient God could only live for a thousand years.

Theoretically, the weakest First Layer Ancient God could live nine thousand years.

The stronger a person is, the more authority they have internally, clashing with each other, the shorter their lifespan!

This era's system is very abnormal.

"No wonder, it's no wonder... Minshan Divine King died of old age so fast back then." Tang Xia sighed deeply.

Previously, they naturally saw Minshan dying of old age under the Origin Ancient Tree but didn't dare go near, fearing her corpse would become a new great terror.

At the time, the two of them were terrified of encountering another monstrous remnant among the living.

Unexpectedly, Minshan became a Ferryman, completing the puzzle of cosmic order.

"Should have figured it out earlier."

Geb and Tang Xia sat facing each other, "The more authority, the quicker the death, just look at that Origin Ancient Tree... Nine treasured authorities dying within a thousand years, the Ancient Tree with thousands of authorities, dying every few seconds."

"It's truly miserable; ordinary consciousness can't withstand this! The Ancient Tree Celestial Path also changes every few seconds."

"How can the Celestial Phenomena of the cosmos be controlled by individual human power?"

Tang Xia smiled wryly, "Now that lifespans have started to shorten in this era, everyone is competing for longevity, which leaves me speechless, who fought for this earlier?"

"By this calculation, under the Ancient Gods, the Divine Level actually lives the longest, making some longevity efforts, living for hundreds of thousands of years. Had I known, I wouldn't have come up. Staying a minor god in the Ten Thousand Realms below, life would be more enjoyable."

Mastering a cosmic authority and proving to be an Ancient God, acting on behalf of heaven, will only accelerate aging and death.

Perhaps this situation could be described by this universe's exclusive term: Celestial Human Five Declines.

Becoming a Celestial Human means inevitably being assimilated by the universe's authority, the higher the realm, the faster the death.

Geb ridiculed: "Don't think about becoming Divine Level, is Divine Level not similar? Living for hundreds of thousands of years in a small heaven? To the Ancient Gods above us, a day passes in five thousand years, isn't their lifespan shorter, like a mayfly, living for just days?"

Tang Xia considered and agreed!

A lived time is relative.

Meanwhile, the minor gods below are easily killed by Ancient Gods in chaos with various methods, and with a low realm, they suffer oppression.

"Then for the two of us, we probably have just over a thousand lifespans remaining. Glorious Divine Kings, pitiful as demigods of an old era." They calculated, as Fifth Layer Ancient Gods, they'd already lived over half their lives.

Truly miserable.

"Don't be so pessimistic, a thousand plus years up here, how many billion years have passed below, in the view of the lower world, we remain Supreme Divine Kings destined to rule the cosmos for countless billions of years, at least with enough style."

So what if lifespans are short?

In future eras, everyone will certainly keep on!

Even continue breaking through, reaching unprecedented Ninth Layer Ancient Gods, with just a thousand year lifespan.

The stronger the combat power, the more they decide the weak's life and death, everyone knowing it accelerates aging yet still chooses to become stronger.

This is an inevitable vicious cycle.

Tang Xia smiled slightly, gazing at the Ancient Tree in the sky, showing a hint of anticipation, "Everything is being reshuffled, the era's system is budding anew, the grand structure of the new universe is being rebuilt, the world is beginning to adapt, and research into longevity starts."

"We are a renewed starting point, in this Extraordinary System universe, developing through eras to produce new illustrious jewels not inferior to the Ancient Universe Era!"

History is continuously progressing, within this entirely new framework, it will definitely gather and summarize as one of the new successive heroes, becoming the foundation for future development.

Year 380 of the Ancient Tree Era.

The two Divine Kings have ruled for over three hundred years and cultivated various young talents, with many elites becoming Second Layer Ancient Gods.

A batch of ancient god foundation from the New Origin Continent was brought out by the two.

After experiencing the prior cosmic catastrophe, the two Ancient Gods thoroughly understood the importance of unity and progress, avoiding wars and researching the progression and integration of authority.

Moreover, the two Kings fully researched longevity techniques, attempting to live a second life through alternative methods.

Thus, the universe entered a new Extraordinary Era where Divine Kings pursued longevity.

"It's starting to taste right."

This scene was already in Li Qing's expectations, revealing an expression of interest, "Those novel stories about extraordinary powerhouses all pursue immortality, successive Celestial Emperors hoping to extend life and live a second age..."

It now had this flavor.

The previous era did not crave longevity.

But now having changed to this form, it's interesting. Li Qing surely understood how fervently the strong pursue life extension, seeing how emperors in history fear death in old age and eagerly seek longevity made that clear.
