Chapter 1597 The paradox of immortality!
After getting the system's answer, Chen Changsheng immediately laughed.
"System, what you said insulted many people!"
"If two hundred thousand years is nothing, then what are the people and things I met before?"
"Return to the host, anyone and anything is insignificant in the face of time."
“You own time and you represent time, but you are not time itself.”
Facing the system's words, Chen Changsheng raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't quite understand what you mean. Can you translate it briefly?"
"As an immortal, the host has unlimited time, and also possesses the characteristics of time."
“What are the properties of time?”
"Invincible!"
"No living being or object can defeat time. Since the host possesses 'time', he is naturally the strongest person in the world."
"The only difference is that time is just an emotionless rule, while the host is a living person."
"So the host will never become 'time'."
After hearing the system's answer, Chen Changsheng thought for a moment and said, "That's why you set up the sleeping mechanism."
"The purpose is to prevent me, the host, from being unable to bear the weight of time."
"Yes!"
"For living beings, coma and emotional catharsis are their own defense mechanisms."
"But facing time, it is difficult for living beings to develop an effective defense mechanism, so sleeping is the only option."
"If I had chosen to sleep and not care about the world from the beginning, would I not be so miserable?"
Chen Changsheng asked the question in his mind, and the system spoke calmly.
"According to the rules, the host can make this choice, but this path will not lead to immortality."
"Hahaha!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Changsheng burst into laughter.
"I knew it was like this. The standard for immortality is time. If time loses its meaning, immortality will naturally cease to exist."
"Suppose I had chosen to sleep from the beginning and no trouble had come to me."
"Then my life will be to repeat certain things day after day."
“After a certain amount of repetitions, time has no meaning to me because no matter how much time passes, I’m still doing the same thing.”
"But if I couldn't stand the loneliness and stepped out of that fixed circle, I would still be like this."
"I never thought that immortality is not only a practical issue, but also a philosophical issue."
"The beings in the spiritual world spend their entire lives trying to solve the problem of 'immortality' in reality, but they would never have thought of this."
“Even if they solve the practical problem of ‘immortality’, there will still be a philosophical problem waiting for them.”
"Use infinite time to solve a problem that can never be solved."
"This practice itself is a paradox, so 'immortality' is in a state of both existence and non-existence."
After Chen Changsheng finished speaking, the system's cold voice sounded.
"Congratulations to the host for seeing through the key to the problem of 'immortality'. May I ask what method the host plans to use to solve this paradox?"
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng smiled and waved his hand and said, "I can't answer this question for you for now."
"In Xiao Hei's words, with my wisdom, I may not be able to solve this paradox for the time being."
"So I plan to live a wonderful life first. When I have lived enough, I will answer your question."
"Excuse me, host, how long do you think it takes to be considered 'living enough'?"
"Not too long. I think I'll be alive for 'the next second'."
After receiving this answer, the system fell silent, which was very rare.
After a breath, the system spoke again: "Then it will be a very long time."
"It doesn't matter if it's a little longer. After all, we all have unlimited time."
After saying this, Chen Changsheng smiled and left the spot, finally disappearing completely into the depths of the void.
......
Heavenly battleship.
The battle was over, and the huge battleship became eerily quiet.
Liu Yidao stood in the corner and tried to reduce his presence as much as possible, because in the eyes of the Heavenly Court, he has always been a pure demon cultivator.
And standing in front is the Lord of Heaven of this era.
"Why didn't Senior Changsheng take you with him?"
"The Jade Emperor" suddenly asked Liu Yidao a question.
Hearing this, Liu Yidao scratched his head and said awkwardly: "Maybe he forgot about me."
"Then why don't you leave with the Styx Forbidden Land?"
"Um...my second master is planning to kill me recently."
"Then do you think the Heavenly Court wants to kill you?"
"It's probably what I want to do."
After getting this answer, the "Jade Emperor" looked at Jun Lin standing aside.
What’s interesting is that the female Shura behind Jun Lin directly assumed a fighting stance towards him.
"Ah~"
Sighing helplessly, the Jade Emperor said helplessly: "The battle in the Northern Underworld has completely put the forbidden area and the righteous forces at odds with each other."
"One of you is the son of the forbidden land, and the other is a 'good seedling' that is highly valued by the Lord of the forbidden land."
"Wandering around outside at this time could easily lead to death."
"So I suggest you find a place to hide first."
Facing the Jade Emperor's warning, Liu Yidao said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I have already given up the dark and joined the light."
"Senior Changsheng can prove this."
Looking at Liu Yidao's eyes full of desire to survive, the "Jade Emperor" said expressionlessly.
"I don't deny Senior Changsheng's ability, nor do I deny Senior Changsheng's contribution."
"But why do you think that Senior Changsheng being your protector is a sign of you 'abandoning darkness and joining the light'?"
Liu Yidao: “…”
It seems to be right. If Chen Changsheng is a good person, then there are no bad people in the world.
"Uncle Jade Emperor, can we go home and hide for a while?"
At this time, Jun Lin, who had remained silent, spoke.
Hearing this, the Jade Emperor shook his head and said, "It was possible some time ago, but I'm afraid it's not possible now."
"In order to integrate the power of the Longevity Era, I may make some plans."
"You appear before the eyes of the world, and you will easily become the target of my plan."
"It's easy to deal with Yidao alone, but you have the Great Shang Dynasty behind you. I don't want to damage the relationship between Heaven and the Great Shang Dynasty because of this matter."
"Can you understand this?"
Looking at the Jade Emperor's eyes, Jun Lin nodded and said, "Jun Lin understands. Can Uncle Jade Emperor give us some advice?"
"I happen to have a suggestion. Perhaps you could go to the Black Triangle for shelter."
"What is the Black Triangle?"
Jun Lin asked in confusion.
"I know!"
Liu Yidao in the corner raised his hand guiltily and said, "The Black Triangle is a no-man's land in the Changsheng Era."
"The power of Heaven cannot reach there for the time being."
"It is highly likely that it will not affect that place in the future."
