Chapter 358 Altar (please subscribe)
Founder of the Mesomean Federation!
The chief sage of the Council of Sages!
Immortal!
——Israel!
A person with many auras and honors, but in Zhong Shenxiu's eyes, he seems ordinary.
Except for his long beard, everything about him is no different from an ordinary old white man. At most, he has the temperament of a scholar.
"The Federation was established more than seven hundred years ago. As an 'immortal,' if you don't ascend or die unexpectedly, you can indeed live to this day."
Zhong Shenxiu waved his hand: "Sit!"
"I'm just an ordinary old man, and everything in the Federation has nothing to do with me."
Israel's eyes sparkled with wisdom as he sat in front of Zhong Shenxiu.
Although they were dressed up and decorated in a somewhat shocking way, people passing by did not notice this at all.
"So...you chose not to show up when the Federation was severely damaged before, why did you show up in front of me again?"
Zhong Shenxiu asked playfully.
"The Federation is just an ordinary country. In the secret history that spans hundreds of thousands or millions of years, there are many countries that are greater than it and have a wider territory than it..."
Israel replied nonchalantly: "Its existence and death will not bring much change to the world, but you are different!"
"Because I am an 'immortal'?"
The corners of Zhong Shenxiu's mouth curled up slightly.
"No... although 'immortals' are rare, there are still some in history..." Israel slowly shook his head: "Because you are watched... those great beings pay more attention to you than anyone else in history. You are an 'immortal', and the mark on your body is proof of that!"
He was talking about the Black Blood Curse.
"Yeah... there are not many immortal people who are as unlucky as me." Zhong Shenxiu complained.
“There’s always a price to pay for taking shortcuts.”
Israel smiled.
"Your condition is beyond my expectation." Zhong Shenxiu was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "I thought... you had gone crazy a long time ago."
He still had too many questions about this great sage.
"I studied the secrets of ascension. Like you, I traveled almost all over the spiritual world, and finally fell into a dead end..." Israel said: "I was still too immature at the time and easily fell into extremes... But later I discovered , it’s good not to ascend, after all, you won’t become a pawn or even food for those existences..."
"For those great beings, even us immortals are just bigger ants... Our world is just an isolated island surrounded by darkness and madness. Human beings must realize their own insignificance and ignorance and not be offended. Don't attract their attention, don't be...too curious!"
…
‘Anyway, just living in peace? ’
Zhong Shenxiu rolled his eyes inwardly: "So... you chose to hide yourself, you chose to disappear... You even chose to sit back and watch the federation weaken, and were not prepared to promote any 'immortals'..."
"Yes...'Immortals' are enough to attract the attention of that kind of existence. Too many will bring disaster to this world."
Israel sighed: "And now you are already!"
"I?"
Zhong Shenxiu pointed at himself.
"You have been marked by the black blood. When those curses are spread all over your body, you will become his puppet, or even his incarnation!" Israel solemnly said: "Those great beings are difficult to come to reality due to various factors. But the arrangement on your body is the key for the Lord of Black Blood to bypass the restrictions... This scene will happen within ten years at most, and this is also the source 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 become the vessel for the coming of the Lord of Black Blood, the end will come..."
Zhong Shenxiu nodded: "And you, Great Sage, chose to appear at this time to prevent the end?"
"Yes, of course it would be best if I could eliminate your carrier... Unfortunately, when I knew this, it was already too late. You had already taken the blood of immortality and became an 'immortal'... I For a hundred years, I have been waiting silently, hoping that you can break the situation...but everything is already doomed."
Israel sighed: "In order to protect this world, I can only ask you to leave..."
"There's no rush for this."
Zhong Shenxiu crossed his legs and changed into a comfortable sitting position: "So... the last question, what does it mean not to ascend?"
"Literally, we think that when we reach the root, we will gain everything. How ridiculous..." Israel slowly shook his head: "Just like we believe in the Seven Difficulties and Si Sui, we think that they will definitely save us... great Existence does not require faith, we need faith, we beautify them, we make them more in line with our imagination...and everything is just a lie."
"All the 'ascended ones' in history had no ending after their ascension...Obviously, their endings were not very good."
"So, I advise newcomers not to ascend. This is the truth!"
…
"Okay, now that everything is clear, how are you going to destroy me?"
Zhong Shenxiu took a sip of milk tea.
They are all 'immortals'. Maybe his methods are weaker and not as rich as Yisriel, but even if he fails, escape will definitely not be a problem.
Among the mortal world, the ‘immortals’ can already be regarded as gods and respected as demigods!
Wars between gods are often extremely long.
"No, no, no... I am not prepared to destroy you, but I am prepared to help you."
Israel smiled slyly: "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's ascension, but he still decided to do so.
"I have some guesses about the Ascension Altar. Maybe it...is not in the spiritual world."
Zhong Shenxiu sighed.
Israel's smile faltered, and his face became gloomy: "I didn't expect that your research would reach this point."
"Because I have found the edge of the spiritual world..."
Zhong Shenxiu replied softly: "Remember that every time we pass the road mark, we will reach a new dimension. Why do we fall into the earthly world after passing the trial of the sky?"
"The answer is... the entire real world is the ascension altar! We... have been living 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 ‘immortals’ can try to ascend.
But everything that happens in the real world, all the behaviors of humans and other intelligent creatures, and even their own existence, are all ‘sacrifice’!
