Chapter 1596 - 457: The Saint’s Extinction! Fellow Daoist Lu, Do You Truly Wish to Take On This Karma, Never to Rest Until Death? (Part 2)
"If not for this, I wouldn’t have desperately sought the protection of a powerful being for Zhou Guang World."
Zhou Guang spoke candidly.
So that’s how it is.
The two sides were locked in an unending struggle.
To the Black Flame Saint, Saint Zhou Guang was an enemy who blocked his path.
How could he not hate him?
Now, the Black Flame Saint could do nothing against Zhou Guang, nor against Zhou Guang World.
But what if Zhou Guang died?
His opportunity would come!
No wonder Saint Zhou Guang was willing to pay any price to find someone to protect Zhou Guang World; otherwise, the world would certainly be destroyed by the Black Flame Saint.
Lu Changsheng did a brief search on the Black Flame Saint.
The information provided by Zi Sang put Lu Changsheng at ease.
The other side was indeed a chaotic life form with just one life transition, and that’s all there was to it.
There weren’t any particularly significant backgrounds.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been unable to overcome Zhou Guang after so many years of confrontation.
This condition was acceptable to Lu Changsheng.
Thinking of this, Lu Changsheng directly said, "Brother Lu agrees! If the friend’s end time arrives, Brother Lu will certainly protect Zhou Guang World!"
Zhou Guang was overjoyed upon hearing this.
"That’s great."
"Please, Brother Lu, come to Zhou Guang World as soon as possible. I don’t have much time left..."
With Zhou Guang’s end time approaching, no one knew how long he could still hold on.
Lu Changsheng nodded.
Then Zhou Guang left the Unity Order.
Lu Changsheng met again with Chen Yuan, Heng Yu, and others.
"Brother Lu, how did it go?"
Heng Yu asked.
"We’ve come to an agreement; Brother Lu will go to Zhou Guang World as soon as possible."
"That’s wonderful."
Heng Yu laughed heartily.
He understood Zhou Guang’s situation very well.
Now they’ve finally found someone who could protect Zhou Guang World.
Even if the end time comes, he can leave in peace.
Chen Yuan also stepped forward with a smile and said, "Congratulations, Brother Lu."
Obviously, since Lu Changsheng agreed, he must have gained substantial benefits, worthy of congratulations.
"This is all thanks to Brother Chen Yuan. Without your invitation for Brother Lu to join the Tongzhou Association, how could I have obtained the Hongmeng Qi so quickly?"
"Brother Lu owes Brother Chen Yuan a favor."
Lu Changsheng said to Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan’s face also showed a faint smile.
He had been busy and diligent without obtaining cultivation resources, for what purpose?
It was all for this statement from Lu Changsheng!
With these words, Chen Yuan was satisfied.
A favor from Lu Changsheng is not easy to obtain; for now, it’s kept and might be of great use later on.
Lu Changsheng also left the Unity Order.
He had Zi Sang pull up the map of Zhou Guang World.
Zhou Guang World isn’t in the Black Light Realm but is very close, barely within the range of a Domain.
For Zi Sang, utilizing the Black Light Tower to shuttle to Zhou Guang World was not an issue at all.
This close distance made Lu Changsheng quite satisfied.
Even if Zhou Guang World encounters any trouble in the future, he can still reach there immediately.
He can protect Zhou Guang World very well.
"Let’s go take a look first."
Lu Changsheng dared not hesitate.
Now Zhou Guang could reach his end time at any moment.
To avoid prolonged delays and changes, Lu Changsheng immediately activated the Black Light Tower.
"Swish."
Lu Changsheng’s Black Light Tower appeared once again, already having traversed to the vicinity of Zhou Guang World.
Soon, Lu Changsheng arrived at Zhou Guang World.
He flew into Zhou Guang World and immediately found Zhou Guang.
"Zoom."
When Lu Changsheng arrived at Zhou Guang’s great hall, he saw Zhou Guang.
At this moment, Zhou Guang indeed differed from the typical chaotic life form.
His physical body was still very strong, emitting an intimidating aura.
Yet, he seemed to struggle subtly with controlling his body’s power.
Moreover, his mind was gradually growing desolate, appearing lethargic at a glance.
He resembled an elderly person in the mundane world.
This was a sign of an impending mental demise.
Lu Changsheng pondered upon himself.
His cultivation system in the Heavenly Realm was somewhat different, placing great emphasis on the mind.
It even achieved the Immortal Spirit state.
But can the mind truly remain immortal?
The so-called Immortal Spirit merely means the mind is quite powerful, unlikely to encounter unforeseen incidents or become desolate for a long time.
This is indeed an advantage.
However, the mind is destined to become extinct eventually.
It just sustains for a longer time, that’s all.
Continuous cultivation is the only path.
Every life transition seemingly pertains to the body, but it actually enhances the mind as well.
The mind and body complement each other.
They cannot exist independently.
Only through repeated life transitions can the mind naturally become "active," rather than thoroughly desolate.
If life transition doesn’t occur for a long time, mind desolation is inevitable sooner or later.
Therefore, in the vast chaos, there’s no accurate measure for the lifespan of a chaotic life form.
It is simply because each individual’s mind is different.
Some minds are resilient.
Some minds are weak.
Therefore, the strength of the mind makes lifespan difficult to determine.
But regardless of strength or weakness, the mind is bound to become extinct.
Only through repeated life transitions can one ultimately achieve source life, where the mind and body completely unify, and lifespan becomes infinite.
Of course, whether source life truly has infinite lifespan, this Lu Changsheng has only heard.
Only a source life would know.
Lu Changsheng himself doesn’t actually care about lifespan.
At least not now.
He is exceedingly young.
Far from reaching the end of an era in lifespan.
He need not concern himself with lifespan issues.
But Zhou Guang cannot afford to ignore them.
Zhou Guang had reached the threshold of mental demise.
At any moment, his mind might extinguish.
"Brother Lu, you’ve come."
