Chapter 357: Altar
The founder of the Mesomiya Federation!
Chief Sage of the Sages!
The immortal!
——Isriel!
Many halos and glory are combined into one, but in Zhong Shenxiu's eyes, they also seem ordinary.
Apart from that long beard, everything about him is no different from that of an ordinary white old man. At most he has a scholarly temperament.
"The Federation was established more than 700 years ago. As an "Eternal One", if you did not ascend or die unexpectedly, you would be able to survive until now."
Zhong Shenxiu waved her hand: "Sit!"
"I am just an ordinary old man. Everything about the Federation has nothing to do with me."
Isriel's eyes were flashing with sparks of wisdom, and he sat in front of Zhong Shenxiu.
Although their dressing and decoration were a bit shocking, the passers-by did not pay any attention to this.
"So... you chose not to appear when the Federation was hit hard before, so why did you appear in front of me again?"
Zhong Shenxiu asked playfully.
"The Federation is just an ordinary country. In the secret history of hundreds of thousands or millions of years, there are many countries with greater territory and vaster territory than it..."
Isriel replied without hesitation: "Its existence and demise will not bring much change to the world, but you are different!"
“Because I am the 'Eternal One’?”
Zhong Shenxiu's lips curled up slightly.
"No... Although the 'Eternal One' is rare, there are still some in history..." Isriel slowly shook his head: "Because you are watched... those great beings pay attention to you more than any 'Eternal One' in history, and the mark on you is proof!"
He is talking about the Black Blood Curse.
"Yes... there are not many immortals as unlucky as me." Zhong Shenxiu complained.
“It always comes at a price to take shortcuts.”
Isriel smiled.
"Your condition is beyond my expectations." Zhong Shenxiu was silent for a moment and suddenly said: "I thought... you have been crazy long ago."
He still has too many questions about this great sage.
"I studied the mystery of ascension. Like you, I almost traveled all over the spiritual world and eventually fell into a dead end..." Isriel said: "At that time, I was still too immature and easily fell into extremes... But later I found that it would be good not to ascend. After all, I would not become those pawns or even food that exist..."
"For those great beings, even those of us who live forever are just bigger ants... Our world is just an isolated island surrounded by darkness and madness. Human beings must recognize their insignificance and ignorance, not anger them, not attract their attention, and not...being too curious!"
...
‘Anyway, just stay there?’
Zhong Shenxiu rolled his eyes in his heart: "So... you choose to hide yourself, choose to disappear... or even choose to sit idly by and watch the federal weaken, and are not ready to promote any 'Eternal One'..."
"Yes... the 'Eternal One' is enough to attract that kind of existence's eyes, too many will bring disaster to the world."
Isriel sighed: "And now you are already!"
"I?"
Zhong Shenxiu pointed at himself.
"You have been marked by black blood. When those curses spread all over your body, you will become His puppet and even incarnation!" Isriel said solemnly: "Those great beings are difficult to come to reality due to various factors, but the arrangement of your body is the key to the Lord of Black Blood bypassing the restrictions... At most, no more than ten years will happen, and this is also the root cause of the arrival of the doomsday!"
Zhong Shenxiu fell into silence.
Of course he had guessed this possibility.
"So... the prophecy of the Lord of the White Tower was correct. After nearly a hundred years of development, once I became the container for the arrival of the Lord of the Black Blood, the doomsday will come..."
Zhong Shenxiu nodded: "And great sage, did you choose to appear at this time to stop the end of the world?"
"Yes, it would be best if you can eliminate your carrier... Unfortunately, when I knew this, it was too late. You have taken the blood of immortality and become the "Eternal One"... I have been waiting silently for the past hundred years, hoping that you can break the deadlock... But everything has long been doomed."
Isriel sighed: "In order to protect this world, I can only ask you to leave..."
"No hurry to do this."
Zhong Shenxiu crossed her legs and changed into a comfortable sitting position: "Then... the last question, what does it mean not to ascend?"
"Literally, how ridiculous it is to think that we will get everything when we reach the roots..." Isriel shook his head slowly: "Just as we believe in the Qi Neng and Si Sui, we think that they will definitely save us... Great existence does not require faith, it is us who need faith. We beautify them, and we make them more in line with our imagination... and everything is nothing but a deception."
"All the 'Assaulters' in history have no end after ascension... It is obvious that their fate is not very good."
"So, I advise later generations not to ascend, this is the truth!"
...
"Okay, I understand everything, then how are you going to destroy me?"
Zhong Shenxiu took a sip of milk tea.
They are all "elixirs". Perhaps their methods are weaker, not as rich as Isriel, but even if they fail, escaping will definitely not be a problem.
Among the ordinary people, the "Eternal One" can already be regarded as a god and respected as a demigod!
The war between God is often extremely long.
"No, no, no...I'm not going to destroy you, but I'm going to help you."
Isriel smiled sly: "I want to help you... ascend! As long as you leave this world, you will not hurt this world."
Obviously, he knew that there would be no good results after Zhong Shenxiu ascended, but he decided to do so.
"I have some speculations about the ascension altar, maybe it is not in the spiritual world."
Zhong Shenxiu sighed.
Isriel's smile stagnated, his face was a little gloomy: "I didn't expect that your research has come to this point."
"Because I have found the edge of the spiritual world..."
Zhong Shenxiu replied softly: "Recalling that every time we pass the Tao mark, we will reach a new dimension, why do we fall into the world after passing the trial of the sky?"
"The answer is... the whole real world is the ascension altar! We... have always lived on the altar!"
This is the truth of the real world!
The spiritual world is far vaster than the real world. For the spiritual world, the real world is an altar!
Although only the "Eternal One" can try to ascense.
