After a long silence, Su Yao trembled and said, “Master, how much lifespan does my master have left?”
“Less than ten thousand years.”
“How long will this war last then?”
“Also less than ten thousand years.”
“Thank you for informing me!”
After bowing in gratitude, Su Yao left with Ye Hong.
Gu Hanyimei’s senior brother and sister also left hurriedly after asking some questions, including Xu Yao who felt guilty.
“Do you have any more questions?”
“No need, hurry up and leave.”
Upon hearing this, Jian Fei spoke up, “Master, I want to ask about my future path.”
“Your future path is still very long, I cannot make a definitive judgment.”
“If you still want to ask about sword techniques, I can tell you some things.”
“I beg your master to teach me!”
“In fact, this matter is not complicated. Only because your situation is special do you have the qualifications to become the top expert in sword techniques.”
“Sword techniques and sword cultivation are complementary. The most correct path is to cultivate both simultaneously. Focusing solely on one is a rather extreme approach.”
“When Sword God’s talent is extremely poor, he cannot achieve much in sword techniques.”
“So he focused on sword cultivation. After mastering it, he gradually made up for his deficiencies in sword techniques.”
“Chen Xiang and Tantai Chui Xue have very good talent. They achieved remarkable results in both sword cultivation and techniques.”
“But ultimately they are on two different paths. In terms of purity and speed, they cannot match yours.”
“This is why you can become the top expert in sword techniques.”
“Of course, although they cannot become the top expert in sword techniques, it doesn’t mean their swords are weaker than yours.”
“In the future, who is stronger or weaker will depend on your own destiny, but in terms of achievement in sword techniques, you will definitely surpass them.”
After hearing this, Jian Fei nodded in understanding.
“Indeed, thank you for your guidance.”
“It’s clear now, go get some rest. There won’t be a lack of battles for you in the future.”
“By the way, Ling’er, go and hand over your work to your master.”
“In the coming time, your master will gradually transfer all tasks to you.”
“Additionally, your father will also hand over matters of the Mighty Donkey Clan to you, so you should prepare for that.”
Upon hearing this, Ma Ling’er trembled.
“Master, don’t scare me. Although my master isn’t particularly skilled in cultivation, they haven’t reached the point where their lifespan is nearly over.”
“As for my father, there’s no need to mention it; he’s only over twenty thousand years old.”
Seeing Ma Ling’er’s frightened and puzzled look, Chen Changsheng smiled.
“Who said handing over tasks means they are going to d*e.”
“After the affairs of the Four Directions Continent are settled, they will go to a very distant place.”
“Who else could they entrust these tasks to?”
Upon hearing this, Ma Ling’er immediately relaxed.
“Master, your words are frightening. How long will they take to return?”
Ma Ling’er asked casually, but this time, Chen Changsheng did not answer, he just quietly looked at her.
Facing Chen Changsheng’s gaze, Ma Ling’er seemed to sense an ominous outcome.
“Won’t they never return?”
Looking at the incredulous Ma Ling’er, Chen Changsheng calmly said, “Your master is going to do something similar to what Emperor Huangtian has been doing since he bore the Heavenly Mandate.”
“Emperor Huangtian has been doing this task since he took on the mandate, and I don’t know when it will end.”
Hearing this, the corners of Ma Ling’er’s mouth trembled.
“Can I go too?”
“No.”
“Everyone has their own role and position. While some fight on the front lines, others must guard the rear.”
“So I am the one guarding the rear, right?”
“Yes.”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s words, Ma Ling’er was silent.
If this were before, she would have spared no effort to seize the opportunity to fight on the front lines.

But now, she did not choose to do so.
“I understand, Master. I will definitely protect everyone’s home.”
After saying this, Jian Fei and the others left.
Once everyone had left, Chen Changsheng leaned weakly against Bai Ze.
“Come out, are you too embarrassed to see me?”
As the words fell, Hu Tudou walked out from around the corner with a smile.
“Your perception is always so sharp, I couldn’t hide it from you.”
“Not many things can hide from me, and you are not one of them.”
“If I can’t hide it, then I won’t. I know you won’t stop me.”
Facing Hu Tudou’s words, Chen Changsheng stared straight at her.
“Just give me a little more time, I can find a solution.”
“No need,” Hu Tudou said with a smile, shaking her head. “This path has no end.”
“Even if you find a temporary solution, you can’t find a permanent one.”
“I’ve experienced many things in my life, and under your help, I’ve been able to step back multiple times.”
“The wars between two worlds, the Battle of Extinction, the New Era War, the Reincarnation War, and even the current war in the Four Directions Continent.”
“To witness such a grand world is my honor.”
“I want to d*e with dignity, I don’t want to live without it.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng sighed softly and said, “Wan’er also wants to?”
“Yes.”
“Why? Her lifespan should still be quite long, right?”
“Because she thinks living for herself is better than continuing to stay by your side, where she will only become a burden to you.”
“You are the most carefree person in the world, you shouldn’t be like this.”
“Is this what she said?”
“Yes.”
“I understand, I won’t stop you.”
Receiving Chen Changsheng’s “approval,” Hu Tudou smiled and kissed him on the forehead.
“Big Brother Changsheng, you must live well.”
After saying this, Hu Tudou left.
Quietly leaning against Bai Ze’s back, Chen Changsheng felt very alone at this moment.
Because a cruel reality was awaiting Chen Changsheng to face.
That all his old friends were nearing the end of their lifespans.
Wu Li, Niansheng, Nalan Xingde, Ziling, Sun Huaiyu…
These people were those Chen Changsheng first met. They were very powerful and stood at the top of the world.
No matter how high their cultivation, they would eventually reach the end of their journey one day.
Perhaps they could live for ten thousand years, twenty thousand years, or even hundreds of thousands of years.
Hundreds of thousands of years might seem long for everything, enough to witness the destruction and birth of a world.
But can these hundreds of thousands of years withstand how many times Chen Changsheng can fall asleep?
It seemed that Bai Ze sensed Chen Changsheng’s emotions and said, “Why are you so disheartened? Are you going to sleep again?”
“There are still ten thousand years left, I should be able to see the end of this war.”
“How long will you sleep this time?”
“Two thousand years.”
“After this sleep, the maximum time I can be awake will reach forty thousand years.”
Hearing these long numbers, Bai Ze bared his teeth and said, “Sealing for two thousand years is not a simple matter, you have to help me think of a way.”
“Alright!”
Looking down at Bai Ze beneath him, Chen Changsheng hesitated for a moment and whispered.
“How long can you still live, Xiaohei?”
“I am a divine beast. Even walking and stopping like this, I can still live for at least… thirty thousand years!”
“What about after thirty thousand years?”
Upon hearing this, Bai Ze fell silent.
Because no matter how long it lives, it cannot accompany Chen Changsheng forever.
