My Bottle Cosmos-Chapter 687 - 634: The Desire for Longevity
"So, by staying at the Undying Level and not breaking through to become an Ancient God, I can actually achieve immortality." Black Star said, "But being at the Undying Level, without protection, is just like being a blade of grass; anyone can bully me and kill me as they please...."
"So, the best way for a power to operate is to let the strong ones become colossal Ancient Gods, standing tall on the Origin Continent, to protect the remaining Undying Level immortals, these tiny immortal bacteria."
Black Star chose not to cultivate the Rule Diagram, or to condense the Crystal Wall Giant Body, and it seems now that it was actually a good decision.
The likes of Atabia in front of him are about to meet their end soon!
What a pity!
Black Star sighed in his heart.
Though he is reckless, he is not stupid; he is very clever, thinking of running back to the Lower Realm after these people die, to discuss a long-term plan with the Holy Dragon and Minis.
His era has not yet arrived, and he needs to use time to nurture new flowers!
I will see you off on your final journey.
And the Emperor noticed Black Star's little scheming, shook his head, and said, "I just went out to gather some news and heard that the high and mighty Ancient Gods are planning to confirm another rule of the Cosmos."
"What rule?" Black Star asked curiously.
The Emperor said indifferently, "Divine Upper Level beings are the eternal parasites of the Cosmos. They plan to cast a curse to make the Divine Upper Level beings susceptible to aging and dying."
???
Black Star was completely stunned.
Are these Ancient Gods beasts?!
They themselves are assimilated by the High-tier Dao, destined to age and die, and they cannot bear the immortality of the Undying Level beings?
So they must make you age and die together?
People are already being envied by them, constantly sent as cannon fodder from the lower levels, yet they still won't let them go?
"What scumbags." Black Star took a long, deep breath.
He felt that this ultimate continent of ascension from all heavens and myriads of realms deserved to be called the Central Continent, as it has gathered countless scums that have ascended from various worlds!
These people have died too quickly, becoming twisted in their hearts, unable to see the good in others!
The cosmic environment of this era seems very deformed; no wonder those Divine Level beings would rather hide in the small lower heaven worlds and not ascend by breaking the realms.
The mentality of the Ancient Gods in the Upper Realm is very twisted!
"This place is too dangerous; even if I take drugs, I can't beat them."
"It looks like I need to develop new drugs. Fortunately, my intelligence keeps up; I freeloaded a batch of Immortal Grass before, and now I have just over 110 research talents."
Black Star decided to strive hard, looking at these Void Realms filled with sand everywhere, each empty heavens and myriad of realms, feeling that these things are somewhat like empty capsules.
...
Another week or so passed.
The few present, being the vanguard and civilization trailblazers, were probing for information in various cities and regions. Knowing about the various powers on this continent, their expressions became more solemn, and the atmosphere grew tense.
Ascension is to see more brilliant scenery, more advanced civilization, the outline of the Cosmos.
But now, even becoming an Ancient God surprisingly aligns with the saying "know the path in the morning, die content in the evening."
This path is a kind of authority; path seekers are like moths to a flame, and those Ancient Gods who have seen the truth are willing to accept having only a few thousand years left.
"We initially thought that after countless billions of years, the era had entered the Middle Period or Late Period, but did not expect it to still be relatively early in the Cosmos' beginning age."
Finally, Atabia spoke:
"After the Battle of the Abyss eight hundred years ago, everyone on this Origin Continent started researching lifespan and longevity, which will be the main theme of this land."
All technologies and methods were researched and pioneered by generations of wise individuals.
Currently, the first generation has a short lifespan because the era has just begun.
In the future, the strongest Divine King of the Nine Layers Heaven, with various longevity techniques and methods, will certainly live for more than a thousand years!
It is even not surprising to truly span across eternity, ruling over all heavens.
"Currently, a longevity technique has already been developed, forcibly opened by someone, and eight hundred years ago, the reincarnation technique of the Minshan Divine King."
Herodotus said, "Take back the Innate Rule Divine Artifact and use this 'remote control' to turn off the authority within oneself, then change and live in the next life."
Like all the Ancient Gods of the Upper Realm, they face a short lifespan and cannot live for ten thousand years.
If they do not fight, they will inevitably face death.
Therefore, each of them feels an intense sense of crisis in their hearts.
"After that great battle, the Three Thousand Great Paths were consolidated, and the two Celestial Phenomena each occupied half of the Innate Tao Artifacts." The Emperor said with a smile, "Snatching food from the tiger's mouth is no simple task!"
Fighting two celestial-phenomena-level world bosses? Like ruling the Cosmos's Yin and Yang?
Can we beat them?
"Not only can we think of snatching food from the tiger's mouth, but the Ancient Gods of this era must have thought of it too." Black Star said, "This is the most straightforward longevity method on the surface; they might have already begun to organize and plan."
In the face of fear of death, who wouldn't be willing to give it a try?
These Ancient Gods are towering supreme cosmic existences that have lived for countless billions in the mortal realm of the Lower Realm.
But in essence, they can only live for a few thousand years; who is willing to be so short-lived? Not even better off than two mortals?
"The target is the Ancient Dragon, and the Ancient Tree."
Atabia said, "These Celestial Phenomena, where an awareness dies every few seconds and a new one is born, are indeed worthy of research."
"Take the Thunderbolt Ancient God for instance, he is not one person; every few seconds is a generation, this generation might be arrogant, the next might be calm, the following might be manic, and yet the next might be passionate..."
The Emperor laughed, "Changing personalities every few seconds?"
"And to the Upper Realm, these few seconds are a considerable period of time for the Lower Realm."
"It seems the Thunderbolt Ancient God who once resurrected Nokron was a certain generation out of those few seconds, just that generation was a joy-seeking god." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
"Indeed." Herodotus analyzed, "In this way, the character models we previously established for the Thunderbolt and Light Ancient Gods need to be completely overturned."
"No one can guess what the two Celestial Phenomena are thinking because they are formless, myriad of forms, all beings alike."
The Emperor revealed a look of amusement, "In this way, it matches my impression of heaven in mythology!"
The Celestial Dao is unpredictable!
If these Celestial Phenomena were predictable, that would indeed be inconceivable.
And Li Qing listened silently to these people's analyses, only smiling to himself.
The Thunderbolt Ancient God and the Light Ancient God have indeed patched up the loopholes; every generation of theirs is a mess...anything they do can be explained, after all, isn't there so many generations? Therefore, whatever Thunderbolt and Light Ancient Gods did before would not raise suspicions.
"No more need for me to fill in the historical background. From today on, they are free to develop as they wish." Li Qing completely put down the heavy mountain on his heart and wandered this continent with two maidservants.
As Li Qing walked, he looked up, "It feels like returning home."
As for Sylvie and Sylph beside him, without confirming the Ancient God, condensing a Giant Ancient God Body with a large number of Crystal Wall Cells, they hid like bacteria in his hair strands.
