Chapter 741 - 101: Will’s Story
Will’s story begins with a question:
"Do you know why the God of Pure Beauty built the Death Row Paradise in the sky?"
"For the longevity coins?" Han Zhan recalled the scene he had seen before, when a blue light appeared in the sky, and answered instinctively.
"That’s right, more precisely, it’s for the longevity energy contained within the coins."
"This energy can allow one to live longer, you can also understand it as eternal youth."
The God of Pure Beauty is so beautiful as is because of this; the path she walks is the Longevity Dao."
Will narrated this story leisurely to everyone in the simple camp, by the flickering campfire.
When mentioning the God of Pure Beauty, Han Zhan instinctively looked around but didn’t find the God suddenly appearing.
Could it be that speaking openly of such things related to the God of Pure Beauty wouldn’t attract her attention?
Or is there something special about the Death Row Paradise?
Otherwise, why did the God of Pure Beauty not exile them directly here, but instead transmitted them upwards via an ascending elevator.
Just in this regard, Han Zhan found something intriguing.
Will continued with his story:
"The God of Pure Beauty was originally just an ordinary person, her family was ordinary, her mother left the world early after giving birth to her, and it was her father who raised her single-handedly."
"Her father was a complete gambler. In Pure Beauty Paradise, you can see the most common entertainment facilities, all were his favorite games."
"Once, by chance, the father of the God of Pure Beauty obtained a special artifact from a Black Hood, and this artifact was a perfect match with the God of Pure Beauty."
"From then on, the cultivation realm of the God of Pure Beauty began to progress rapidly, soon breaking through to the Tier Nine Ultimate level."
Black Hood?
Upon hearing this, Han Zhan was stunned.
Isn’t that a characteristic attire of Dawn? Could it be that the person who gave the special artifact to the God of Pure Beauty was Dawn?
Judging from what they’ve done before, this is not at all impossible.
If it really was Dawn, then everything might make sense.
The story narrated by Will, any discerning person could hear it was the growth experience of the God of Pure Beauty.
What was unexpected was that the personal history of the God of Pure Beauty would be known by others.
Thinking of this, Han Zhan’s gaze towards Will also became much more probing.
What kind of relationship could this storyteller have with the God of Pure Beauty?
At this point, Will paused for a moment; he was a bit thirsty.
So, he poured himself another glass of drink.
A sip of drink, a bite of roasted meat.
Will’s calm demeanor made it seem as if he were genuinely telling a fireside chat to everyone.
"The process of the God of Pure Beauty moving from Tier Nine Ultimate to transcendence as a deity was quite smooth. After becoming a deity, she comprehended the Longevity Dao thoroughly and transformed the entire planet into the Pure Beauty Star using that special artifact."
"All people on the planet could achieve immortality and eternal youth. As a result, she was beloved and supported by all the Pure Beauty Star People."
"But what is the truth behind that?"
Immortality, eternal youth.
From any angle, such a thing could never last indefinitely.
Just like when luck reaches its peak, misfortune follows.
Even the lifespan of a deity would reach its end and go into complete extinction.
This is the undeniable truth.
The pursuit of immortality through the Longevity Dao may, in itself, be a mistake, and the God of Pure Beauty was continually mistaken in this path.
"The God of Pure Beauty quickly discovered the problem; the special artifact that helped her embark on the Longevity Dao couldn’t provide unlimited lifespan."
"Its lifespan content began to deplete, and from that point, Pure Beauty Star fell into unimaginable panic and chaos."
When people are accustomed to endless lifespan, and then they’re told there’s a limit, no one can treat it calmly.
It’s easy to go from frugal to lavish, but hard to go from lavish to frugal; Han Zhan deeply understands this.
He nodded, listening to Will continue the story:
"This panic and chaos lasted for a while. Eventually, the God of Pure Beauty came up with a solution from her father, which was Pure Beauty Paradise!"
The existence of Pure Beauty Paradise, rather than attracting those who craved for longevity, was more of a giant gamble using lifespan as the stake.
Everyone entering there becomes an unrelenting gambler from the start.
They may win everything or lose everything.
In this way, the God of Pure Beauty, as the house, can ensure a win-win outcome.
Pure Beauty Star crossed the tribulation again, restoring it to its initial calm state.
"And what about the Death Row Paradise? Why does Death Row Paradise exist, and what is its relationship with Pure Beauty Paradise? Does it have something to do with that special artifact?"
At this point, Han Zhan spoke.
Will glanced at him and sincerely praised, "You’re very perceptive. When I first heard this story, I didn’t catch on."
"Yes, the existence of Pure Beauty Paradise indeed made the Pure Beauty Star that planet where everyone could achieve immortality and eternal youth again. Pure Beauty Paradise also helped the God of Pure Beauty to take a big step forward towards the end of the Longevity Dao."
"However, three things happened during this process."
The first thing was about that special artifact.
The God of Pure Beauty, who originally only knew to extract lifespan from the special artifact, didn’t notice,
when she injected a large amount of lifespan into this special artifact, it seemed to possess its own consciousness.
It no longer fully matched with the God of Pure Beauty.
Such a situation equates to the disruption of the authority of one of the three cornerstones of the Dao, which is a very serious issue for a deity.
This directly triggered the second thing.
Because the authority was disrupted, the God of Pure Beauty experienced problems; the Longevity Dao backfired.
To help the God of Pure Beauty solve this problem, her father created the Death Row Paradise in the sky.
To preemptively intercept those longevity coins that would be devoured by the special artifact.
The pale cyan pattern in the sky was created from the Longevity Dao of the God of Pure Beauty, used to transfer that Lifespan Spiritual Power for the God of Pure Beauty’s use.
The third thing.
Although the God of Pure Beauty, with her father’s help, stabilized her divine realm,
she also had to reincarnate periodically due to the backlash from the Longevity.
This cycle of reincarnation on Pure Beauty Star had already occurred countless times.
"But then last time, an accident happened."
"The God of Pure Beauty failed to be reborn."
"Not only that, her father, who should also have been immortal, died unexpectedly in Pure Beauty Paradise."
Will paused at this point.
He looked up at the people around him: "This is the story I wanted to tell."
"The person who told me this story was named Feng Guangsheng."
