Looking at Fu Yao’s eyes, Chen Changsheng hesitated for a moment and said, “Yes.”
“Since I promised to tell you, I definitely won’t go back on my word.”
“Don’t you want Ziyan to hear this secret as well?”
“I don’t want to.”
“The secret of Changsheng is too grand; Ziyan currently doesn’t have the ability to bear this secret. He only needs to have the desire for long life.”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng fell silent.
He took a sip of the flower wine and softly said, “There is something in my body that has allowed me to attain long life.”
“What is it?”
“A thing beyond comprehension, something no one knows about.”
“I only know its name; as for its essence, I still haven’t figured it out.”
“Can it be dug out?”
“No,” Chen Changsheng shook his head and said, “To find this thing inside me, I have tried many methods.”
“When I entered reincarnation, I dissipated my physical body, dissipated my spiritual sense, almost everything I could disperse was dispersed.”
“But I still couldn’t discover its existence.”
With this answer, Fu Yao silently took a sip of the flower wine.
Seeing Fu Yao not speaking, Chen Changsheng smiled and said, “What’s wrong? Did you feel disappointed hearing this cruel reality?”
“No.”
“Really? You have always hoped Ziyan would attain long life, and now find out that the long life here is also an illusion.”
“You worked hard for nothing; aren’t you disappointed?”
Glancing at Chen Changsheng’s smug expression, Fu Yao smiled and said, “Long life isn’t something easily obtained.”
“Ziyan can’t take long life from you; this was completely within my expectations.”
“Since you already guessed this outcome, what is the meaning of everything you do?”
“To give Ziyan long life.”
Upon hearing this answer, Chen Changsheng furrowed his brows.
“Sorry, I don’t quite understand what you mean by that.”
“Ha!”
“There’s actually something you, Chen Changsheng, don’t understand; that’s really rare.”
“Since you don’t understand, let me explain it to you clearly.”
Saying this, Fu Yao poured another bowl of flower wine for herself, a smile on her lips.
“All living beings in this world have a lifespan limit, and there are countless methods to extend that lifespan.”
“No one knows where the limit of extended lifespan lies.”
“For example, relying on my own means, surviving for thirty to fifty thousand years is already the limit.”
“But who can guarantee that during these thirty to fifty thousand years, I won’t find a way to survive?”
“If I can keep finding ways to extend my life like that, wouldn’t that also be akin to obtaining a form of ‘long life’?”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng’s eyes narrowed.
“But this would be very painful; without a firm belief, one can’t go on.”
“I know that; I’m one of those who can’t hold on, so I will d*e.”
“But Ziyan won’t; he was taught by you, and his heart will be very steadfast, just like Emperor Huangtian and the others.”
“Although Emperor Huangtian’s path can also lead to a long life, it is too dangerous. A little carelessness can lead to the risk of falling.”
“Moreover, no matter how strong the enemy is, there will come a day when they are all killed, or killed by the enemy.”
“But you, Chen Changsheng, are different. You won’t k*ll Ziyan, and Ziyan likewise won’t k*ll you, because he wants to obtain the secret of long life from you.”
“As long as you don’t d*e, Ziyan’s heart won’t d*e, and if the heart doesn’t d*e, then it will be unending.”
“Only in this way can Ziyan walk out a different path to long life.”
After listening, Chen Changsheng was lost in thought; he seemed to have remembered something.
Seeing this, Fu Yao smiled and said, “What’s wrong? Did you get shocked by my plan?”
“No, I just thought of someone when I heard you say that.”
“She walked the same path as Ziyan, but the faith they have in walking this path is quite different now.”
“Who is she?”
“I can’t tell you that, but she started on this path earlier than Ziyan.”
“How is she doing?”
“Very difficult, so difficult that I can’t imagine how painful that would be.”
“Long life is not easy to obtain, but I hope she can succeed; that way, Ziyan will have a reference standard.”
As she spoke, Fu Yao stretched and got up.
“Alright, you pitiful creature, struggle slowly in the Sea of Suffering.”
“I’m going home to sleep; just wait slowly to d*e.”
As soon as she said this, Chen Changsheng became anxious.
“Who are you calling a pitiful creature!”
“Right now, I’m calling you a pitiful creature.”
“Even I, a life-and-d*ath enemy, have to reach the end; how many people can remain by your side?”
“If one day, Ziyan and another person also fall, then you’ll truly be all alone.”
“Those little kids have sincerity; they don’t want to make you run around in this long time, nor do they want to become a burden to you.”
“But they don’t know that they are the courage for you, Chen Changsheng, to continue living.”
“If one day all of them are gone, I suspect you will lose the courage to live.”
“One day, when you open your eyes, you will find that there is only you, all alone in this world.”
“Wanting to d*e but afraid to d*e, wanting to hold on but unable to, the only thing that can accompany you is that long loneliness.”
“Therefore, you are not the biggest pitiful creature in the world; who is?”
……
Qiongqi Tomb.
“d*mn!”
Sitting in the stone coffin, Chen Changsheng cursed.
All thanks to Fu Yao’s words, she successfully hit his innermost feelings.
“MD!”
“If I had known, I wouldn’t have let you d*e so easily; truly, patience leads to more anger, and taking a step back leads to greater loss.”
“Next time I definitely can’t let bastards like you d*e too early.”
“If I want to vent my anger, I won’t even have anyone to find.”
“You just died, yet you still come to disturb my mood; truly wicked.”
While cursing, Chen Changsheng put on his clothes, and soon after, he took out various tokens.
Having slept for twenty thousand years, as soon as he woke up, he was curious if anyone was looking for him.
However, when these tokens were taken out from the System space, one of the tokens immediately stirred.
“Are you there?”
“Urgent matter, respond quickly!”
The same message had two more messages, and looking at the information above, Chen Changsheng’s face instantly darkened.
Because the owner of this token was the Little Immortal.
Chen Changsheng: “……”
Are you a NPC in the game?
Whenever I have a moment of leisure, you always have something.
Thinking this, Chen Changsheng immediately threw the token back into the System space and went back to his own business.
……
Five thousand years later.
“Chen Changsheng, open the door quickly; I have something to find you!”
The Little Immortal’s voice echoed in Qiongqi Tomb, and Chen Changsheng’s eyelids twitched instantly.
Little brat!
You really are a persistent soul!
