Chapter 257 - 194: Life and Death, the Loneliness of Immortality

Ten years later.The Void God wandered everywhere and discovered a place here.

Here, countless exotic beasts competed for a mysterious and unique immortal herb.

They named it: Eternal Life Divine Grass.

Numerous exotic beasts fought over it, and some even advanced to the early stage of the fifth tier amidst the chaos, which was quite astonishing.

Clearly.

Since that mystic opened the path, over the centuries, quite a few had reached this realm.

"Immortal plant? I must contend for it."

The Void God discovered there were four fifth-tier powerhouses vying for this divine object.

"My immortal techniques are refined, and against three, I only have a 70% chance of victory, the risk is great!"

He began to hide himself, waiting for the moment when the snipe and the clam grapple, and he, the fisherman, gains the advantage.

He found that the divine grass also had its own consciousness, yet, sadly, it was treated as a heavenly treasure, helpless.

"Truly pitiful, without the ability to protect itself."

Time passed slowly, minute by minute, second by second.

Ten years later, he hid within a mountain, watching the battles between several tribes.

Thirty years later, he continued to hide in the mountains. From more distant places, exotic beasts broke through, heard the news, and began to vie for this miraculous divine grass.

This divine grass, perhaps it could be called: the Elixir of Immortality.

Forty-five years.

The Void God finally found an opportunity. When the several fifth-tier beings were heavily injured, he broke forth from the mountain using divine speed power and swiftly stole the divine grass.

"Hahaha! This divine grass, destined to be tied by fate to me."

"Obtaining this divine grass, perhaps I can achieve eternal life, it could be called, the Elixir of Immortality!"

Year 819 of the Butterfly Race.

The Void God obtained the divine grass, yet he was still at death’s door, approaching the end of his lifespan.

He grasped the divine grass and discovered:

"This divine grass has nine leaves in total, and only after some time passes, does it recover a leaf of immortal divine power."

"One leaf can help a person lock their state for a hundred years."

"However, this divine grass is at such a low state, only second tier, needing a thousand years to grow a leaf!"

Upon thinking this, the Void God couldn’t help but curse silently.

Didn’t those exotic beasts know to cultivate the divine grass’s realm?

Thus, he decisively began to nurture this divine grass: "I will teach you cultivation!"

"Thank you," said the divine grass, "But my realm is low, and my cultivation talent is not very good."

Bai Youxuan ranked first in Thirteen High School in Rehe City.

Yet, if placed among the top few high schools, she would definitely be near the bottom.

In her life, even breaking through the third tier was only hopeful.

In the vast human world, she was the unremarkable kind.

Hopeful for the third tier, absolutely impossible for the fourth, and don’t even think about the fifth tier.

Talent, not even comparable to a single hair of the Void God.

The Void God comforted her, "The world has constants, you were born against the natural order, as the sole treasure favored by the heavens, naturally, there are gains and losses."

"Heaven gave you an almost eternal lifespan, naturally it would take away your cultivation aptitude."

The Void God found this quite normal.

If she had the eternal divine power to lock state, and her talent was also strong, why would others need to fight against her?

Just thinking about it is frightening.

A locked-state, immortal existence, undefeatable, ruling a world forever, where would others find the chance to rise?

"Come with me."

"I just happen to be opening the Immortal Path, suitable for your cultivation, allowing you to train faster."

This was the first encounter between the Void God and the Elixir of Immortality in human history.

Time flew by.

This Void God patiently guided the divine grass with poor aptitude and traveled across the land, recording various experiences.

As time went on, they gradually became friends who shared everything.

Previously, when the divine grass was obtained, not a single leaf was left.

Unless, the bare divine grass itself is consumed, exhaustively exploiting it, lifespan could be extended!

But by doing so, the divine grass would cease to exist entirely.

"If it were an ordinary person, they would surely eat you, not caring about the consequences? But I would rather die than do that."

In the heart of the Void God, there was his own perseverance and code of conduct.

Xu Changsheng, as a historical figure of longevity, he could endure and be patient, but he had never been corrupted or transformed into a noble clan.

If he truly became such a person, it would likely plunge all of human history into darkness.

If he were evil, constantly transforming identities, he would rule all of human history and become the dark boss behind the scenes, bringing endless despair to humanity.

Yet, he never did so.

He remained the most illustrious sage of humanity, each revival, living another life for the common folk, overthrowing the aristocracy.

Another ten years passed.

This Void God was about to die, his face full of emotion, saying:

"What a fate it is, to obtain the Elixir of Immortality, yet unable to achieve eternal life."

"However, leaving the hope of longevity to future generations is also good."

This Void God appeared gentle, with a smile on his face:

"When you continuously grow stronger and become an eternally enduring celestial herb with immortal divine power recovering quickly, every century growing a leaf, you can grant someone eternal life."

Upon hearing this, the divine grass felt a complex emotion within.

Perhaps, I will soon achieve longevity and immortality, and in the future, there will be a succession of new masters.

They will fight over me, wanting me to prolong their lives; wars centered around me will continue through endless mythical eras!

But just thinking about it makes it somewhat unbearable.

"Longevity is a kind of pain," the Longevity Herb suddenly said.

The Void God continued:

"Once I pass away, I can no longer protect you. I’m afraid other exotic beasts will fight for you. Unlike me, they won’t care about anything but survival. Seeing you without leaves, they’d swallow your entire root and stem!"

"So, from now on, you must protect yourself."

The Longevity Herb could only nod repeatedly.

The Void God continued his journey, constantly documenting information about exotic beasts from various places, and continuously updating his Immortal Path techniques.

Ordinary Fifth Tiers have lifespans of thousands or tens of thousands of years.

Yet, now at only a hundred years old, he was nearing the end of his life.

They passed through many peculiar tribes, witnessing various strange mutated plants, many places filled with their laughter and happiness.

"Alas!"

"I still have regrets in my heart; I must attempt to break through to a higher realm."

In his final moments, this Void God planned to take one last gamble, initiating endless slaughter.

He ventured to some immortal mountains and sacred lands, searching for life-extending medicines, and indeed, he found some.

The precious drugs with [Low Consumption] and [Longevity and Vision] divine powers were consumed by him, barely extending his life.

However, his slaughters and plundering also provoked much resistance from exotic beasts.

Some exotic beasts were forced to relocate, almost driven to extinction by this killing god.

Some Fifth Tier exotic beasts began to join forces to surround and kill him, but he slaughtered them, painting the heavens and earth red, forcing them to flee.

"Kill!"

"By killing more, I leave a reputation for our Human Race. After I disappear, they won’t dare to offend us in the short term!"

The Void God became enveloped in murderous intent, exuding awe-inspiring majesty, but approaching him felt like being engulfed in a sea of corpses and blood.

He slaughtered his way through, intimidating various tribes, leaving an astonishing reputation of ruthlessness.

Became the Emperor of the Human Race, overwhelmingly dominant, suffocating the alien races in forbidden zones of various immortal mountains.

This was a figure invincible in the era.

Many alien races trembled at the sound, not even daring to approach human tribes.

"I have three years left in my life."

"It’s time to visit Outer Heaven and see the situation beyond."

Having said that, he stepped out, heading towards the perilous Outer Heaven.

But this time, he discovered the spiritual realm’s barriers had been reinforced. Ever since Ying Qing’s escape, the spiritual realm naturally increased the strength of the protective walls.

"Well, well, well!"

The Void God stood with his hands behind his back, bitterly laughing, "Unexpectedly, Outer Heaven also has such terrifying barriers, preventing us from going out."

"This Outer Heaven truly holds great secrets!"

"I’ve heard that every time someone goes out, they lose their memories of the outside world!"

He violently struck the barriers, but they were unresponsive, eventually leaving him to collapse as a corpse.

In the year 821 of the Butterfly Race, the Void God fell.

Wailing!

The Longevity Herb wept while holding the Void God’s body, only to discover his fiery heart had merged into her own body.

This was the gift he left her.

Is this the gift you gave me?

A burning heart?

But I am far from breaking through to the Fifth Tier. How can I use it?

In her pain, the Longevity Herb unexpectedly discovered an anomaly in his body: "He seems to possess a wondrous talent for resurrection!"

Xu Changsheng, as one of the top ten ancestral Saints in history, naturally had incredibly formidable talents.

"You can actually resurrect!"

The Longevity Herb faintly sensed a premonition, "Though you have died, your memories remain, and you can live out a second life."

Upon discovering this secret, the Longevity Herb was overjoyed.

In the long years to come, someone could accompany her in longevity.

Having someone accompany in longevity is such a wonderful thing.

"Does it take some time to resurrect?"

She hurriedly saved this brain.

Xu Changsheng indeed only reappeared in history intermittently because his resurrection had a cooldown.

Eighty years later.

The Longevity Herb secretly entered the tribe, implanting this brain into a woman’s body.

This woman walked the earth, suddenly inexplicably becoming pregnant.

This, then, was conceived through the sentiments of heaven and earth.

Thus, the second Emperor of the Human Race, Xi, was born.

In the tribe.

"Again a heavenly omen descends."

"Why is this baby’s speed so fast?"

"I seem to see the invincible figure of the king from back then."

This time, just a glance excited the elders in the tribe.

This scene was all too familiar.

The Void God, who left home and disappeared, had not yet returned. Here, yet another divine being was born?

"Hahaha, our Human Race is destined to thrive!"
