Chapter 1199 The Source of Immortality, the Impossible Immortality
"With a physical body, I can continue my cultivation. With the help of the Great Dream Immortal Technique, I may be able to seek revenge on that person."
"I see. Then what is the purpose of letting you infiltrate the Cui family?"
"I don't know. He just let me infiltrate him."
"If you hadn't killed the Cui family cultivator recently, I wouldn't have taken action at all."
"Then you really know the whereabouts of the second volume of Eight-Nine Mysterious Arts."
"I'm lying to you," the statue said very frankly, "It's been so long, how could I possibly know the whereabouts of the second volume of Eight-Nine Mysterious Arts?"
"All I know is that the second volume of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Arts seems to have been lost in a huge mineral vein."
"But five million years have passed, and that huge mineral vein is no longer there. How can I possibly know the whereabouts of the Eight-Nine Profound Art?"
Facing the words of the statue, Chen Changsheng was not angry, but smiled faintly.
"I've known for a long time that you never tell the truth. Fortunately, I didn't fall for your trick."
"By the way, how do you know that five million years have passed in the outside world?"
"Guess."
“It would take at least five million years to bring about such a huge change in the world.”
"Whether I guessed too much or too little is not important to me."
"That makes sense. I've asked all the questions I need to ask. Just stay here."
"When the critical moment comes, I will naturally let you out."
As he spoke, Chen Changsheng waved his hand to set up a ban and put the statue into the box.
After finishing everything, Chen Changsheng threw the box into the system space.
The state of the statue was extremely strange, and Chen Changsheng was not sure if he could isolate his perception using only ordinary means.
Therefore, the safest way at the moment is to lock it into the system space.
"System, are there really immortal 'immortals' in this world?"
Faced with the illusory existence of "immortals", Chen Changsheng subconsciously asked the system.
The system also responded to Chen Changsheng's question very quickly.
"Replying to the host, there is no immortal creature in the world."
"Why, am I not immortal?"
"Host, you are only immortal, not immortal. There is a big difference between immortality and longevity."
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng said, "I'm sorry, my wording was not precise. I'll ask again."
"Is there really an immortal species other than me in this world?"
"no!"
"That's impossible. Didn't that guy just say that there are immortals in this world?"
In response to Chen Changsheng's words, the system still did not show any emotion.
"Host, according to analysis, what you just said is intended to trap this system in a self-proving trap."
"Host, there is no need to do anything unnecessary."
"When faced with questions from the system, this system will answer truthfully."
"Okay, then answer me directly, are there any 'immortals' in this world?"
Hearing this, the system said: "If the 'immortal' that the host is talking about is the kind of creature we just talked about."
"Then it is possible for such creatures to exist."
"No, what do you mean by possible?"
"Don't you even know about this?"
"Yes."
"why?"
"You can even achieve immortality, so deduction should be no problem for you."
"If you make a deduction, nothing in the world can be hidden from you."
Listening to Chen Changsheng's words, the system said calmly: "Host, this system does not have the 'deduction' function, so it cannot do what you said."
"But there is one thing I must remind the host. There is a big difference between a long life and true immortality."
"Living beings strengthen themselves through cultivation. As they strengthen themselves, their lifespans can be extended."
"In addition to cultivation, the lifespan of living beings is also affected by many external factors."
"For example, one's bloodline and the natural treasures that one has swallowed."
After getting the system's answer, Chen Changsheng pursed his lips and said, "I understand this principle."
“Take two identical sticks and break one in half, then break it in half again.”
"This cycle repeats itself, and the broken sticks will be infinitely close to the length of the other stick."
“But they can never be as long as another stick.”
"But it's so close to this that in most people's eyes, there's actually no difference."
"So other people can also achieve immortality, right?"
Chen Changsheng hoped to get a positive answer from the system, but the system's answer poured cold water on Chen Changsheng.
"What the host wants to express is theoretically feasible, but it doesn't work in reality."
"Because the weight of time is not something a living being can bear."
“Even if there is a living being who can continue on the path of cultivation, he will definitely be swallowed up by time.”
"This includes you, the host!"
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng was stunned for a moment.
"System, what you just meant is that I can't achieve true immortality either?"
"Yes."
"So you lied to me?"
"This system did not deceive the host. You have indeed gained immortality."
"System, I don't quite understand what you're saying. Can you explain it more clearly?"
"can!"
The system replied calmly, and said: "This system grants the host immortality. Theoretically, without external interference."
"The host can live in this world forever."
"But the problem is that the weight of time has already exhausted the host."
"It's only been over a hundred thousand years, and you, the host, have already thought about committing suicide. If it weren't for Nalan Xingde rescuing you from the quagmire of emotions."
"Your desire for life will be even lower now, and as time goes by, one day you will completely lose your desire for life."
"Although Nalan Xingde saved you, this problem will still arise as long as time passes."
After receiving this answer, Chen Changsheng immediately responded: "What if I give up all emotions and desires?"
"Of course the host can give up all emotions and desires, but if you do that, how many things in the world will be left for you to cherish?"
"Without love, hate, and desire, what is the difference between you and the stones on the ground?"
"Were you really still alive at that time?"
The system's words made Chen Changsheng stand there in a daze, because he suddenly understood a truth.
"System, according to you, Niansheng and the others are the source of my immortality?"
"Yes!"
"Although they cause pain to the host, they also give the host a desire to live."
"If the host's life didn't have these characters, could you really have survived these 100,000 years?"
"You who have immortality do not need to pursue any material things, because these things are not as good as 'immortality'."
"And even if the host feels like pursuing some vulgar desires, you only need to spend a negligible amount of time to get them."
"When your vulgar desires are satisfied, your heart will be extremely empty, and you will also lose your desire to live."
