Chapter 3015 G.o.d and Immortality
Han Sen looked at Han Yufei as he said, “If you are willing to explain, then I should be able to understand.”
Han Yufei was non-committal. She coldly said, “Aside from Ancient G.o.d and G.o.d Spirits, the universe’s creatures have a mortal life. Do you know what determines their lifespan?”
Han Sen thought about it and said, “Different creatures all have different lengths of life. That is usually determined by their genes.”
Han Yufei nodded. “Indeed, unless they die by accident. Otherwise, what affects their lifespan is usually down to what is in their genes. Different creatures have different genes that determine the length of their life. But that is not something absolute. In fact, many other variables can affect a lifespan. For example, there is cryosleep technology in the universe. That is very common. It can slow down the renewal of genes and extend one’s life.” “Cryosleep technology is a stupid idea. When you are frozen, it is like you are dead. In the meantime, it is totally pointless. Compared to that, there are high-cla.s.s time geno arts that can make your body clock stop so the genes in your body never renew. Technically, you would be immortal and forever young.”
“Just like you.” Han Sen looked at Han Yufei as he spoke. Han Yufei had been trapped in Two Worlds Mountain for G.o.d knows how many billions of years, yet she had maintained a youthful image. She had not died. That must have been a result of time powers.
Han Yufei did not answer Han Sen. She went on to say, “According to the theory, many creatures can be immortal. In fact, it is not like that. No matter if normal creatures or true G.o.d xenogeneics have a powerful time power, if they live longer than their gene’s lifespan, they will die by accident. Before Sacred appeared, that was very common. Powerful existences, such as true dragons or phoenixes, no matter how powerful they are or how strong their lifeforce, will die at some point in time.”
“Are you saying that the G.o.d Spirits take the lifespan of creatures?” Han Sen’s head flashed. He thought about the G.o.d Spirits stealing one’s lifespan.
Han Yufei nodded and said, “Yes. It is like that. When Sacred appeared, they forced open the s.p.a.ce barrier. They forced the G.o.d palaces to appear and killed G.o.d knows how many of the G.o.d Spirits that descended. The G.o.d palaces were heavily damaged. After I was set free, I saw many old antiques that remained alive. Some even hailed from Sacred’s time. With their current lifespan, they cannot live much longer. The only explanation is that because of Sacred’s G.o.d fights, there was a flaw in the G.o.d Spirit’s control. That is how they were able to use all methods to live up until now. Before Sacred, this had never happened.”
“Does that mean killing G.o.d Spirits is to obtain immortality?” Han Sen frowned.
Although what Han Yufei was saying made sense, Han Sen still thought there was something amiss.
“Immortality, to me, isn’t what I am looking for, but I don’t like the feeling of being restricted and calculated. How long I live is something I should determine. After all, it is my life. The G.o.d Spirits are trying to take those rights away. I am not going to allow them to succeed. I want them to feel what it feels like to have their lives in the hands of others.” Han Yufei used her hands to lift her black-framed gla.s.ses as she spoke.
“This woman… She is insane…” Han Sen had to admit Han Yufei was the scariest woman he had ever met.
Han Sen suddenly remembered the scroll. Han Yufei’s crime was committing blasphemy against a G.o.d Spirit. Her crime was worse than G.o.d’s Retribution. Now, it was starting to make sense.
Han Sen was pretty sure that in the Sacred era, she must have conducted tests on the G.o.d Spirits. That was probably a crime that was worse than slaying a G.o.d Spirit.
Han Sen stared at Han Yufei as he asked, “What about Sacred Leader? Did he kill G.o.ds because of that?”
“That is what he told me, but I do not think that is the real reason. At the very least, he did not do it just for himself. He was probably doing it for someone else.” After saying that, Han Yufei went silent.
“Wan’er?” Han Sen said the name and watched Han Yufei’s reaction.
Han Yufei looked shocked. She asked, “Do you know Wan’er?”
Han Sen thought, “More than just know her.”
Han Yufei did not wait for Han Sen’s answer. She kept speaking. “Yes, that was who Sacred Leader loved the most. Sacred Leader’s reason for killing the G.o.ds was probably because of Wan’er. Otherwise, with his power, avoiding G.o.d Spirits to live would not have been difficult.”
Han Sen noticed Han Yufei’s tone was a bit off. He quickly asked, “Was Wander Sacred Leader’s real sister?”
“Although Sacred Leader kept saying Wan’er was his real sister, I know for sure that Wan’er was not his real sister because Wan’er was not the same race as him,” Han Yufei said with certainty. “How do you know they are not from the same race?” Han Sen asked.
“Of course, Wan’er was one of my people.” Han Yufei lifted her lips as she spoke. “With the t.i.tle, she should be calling me auntie. I watched her grow up. Do you think I am wrong?”
“What? Wan’er is the same race as you? What race do you belong to?” Han Sen’s eyes opened wide as he looked at Han Yufei. Even now, he did not know which race Han Yufei belonged
to.
“Witch,” Han Yufei said with a sigh. “Our race almost became extinct a long, long time ago. I don’t think anyone in this universe has heard our name before. Aside from me, I do not believe any others are alive. Back then, there were Tai Yi, Qing Jun, and Purple Fight. Now, they are…”
“Tai Yi? Qing Jun? Purple Fight? Are they all witches?” Han Sen’s eyes opened wide.
Han Yufei developed a wry smile. “Not anymore. Qing Jun has become Sky G.o.d. He is not a Witch anymore. Purple Fight is dead. The Purple Fight in Two Worlds Mountain was just his will. As for Tai Yi, he is missing. I am afraid he might have been killed in the G.o.d fights.”
After hearing this, Han Sen felt extremely weird. He had not expected Wan’er and Han Yufei to come from the same race or to learn that Qing Jun and Tai Yi were once a Witch.
After the G.o.d palaces appeared, Han Sen had been looking for Qing Jun’s G.o.d temple. He wanted to kill him so that he could exact vengeance. He had searched the entire length of the G.o.d palaces and was unable to locate Qing Jun’s flag. He did not know which G.o.d temple he resided within.
Regarding Tai Yi and the Metal G.o.d Temple, Han Sen was not able to find it. That made Han Sen feel strange.
Han Sen told her about his encounter with Tai Yi and how he repaired the Metal G.o.d Temple, broke s.p.a.ce, and departed. He wanted to know what she might say. After Han Yufei heard that, she looked shocked. She asked, “Is Tai Yi still alive?”
“Yes, but he fixed Metal G.o.d Temple and broke s.p.a.ce,” Han Sen said. “I have not seen Metal G.o.d Temple amidst the others since the G.o.d palaces appeared. What is that all about?” Han Yufei laughed. “Of course, you were unable to find it. The Metal G.o.d Temple is the G.o.d temple Sacred tried to recreate. He wanted to replace the original G.o.d temple to become the leader of the universe so they would not be restricted by the G.o.d palaces and geno hall. They wanted to replace the entirety of the G.o.d palaces. Before they could succeed, Sacred was destroyed, and Metal G.o.d Temple was ruined. I did not know Tai Yi rebooted Metal G.o.d Temple.”
Han Sen wanted to say something, but he felt the entire laboratory start to shake. The ice walls were breaking. Even the metal was breaking. It was like there was an earthquake.
Some scary presence covered the entire place. Even with Han Sen’s slowed reaction, he sensed how scary it was.
