Two People in the Same Predicament

I don't know when it started, but the wind began to blow frequently across this meadow, as if the previous smoke and oppression had completely disappeared, restoring tranquility to this space.

Arcueid had fully recovered and sat down in front of the tree where he had been nailed not long ago, hugging his knees.

The sunlight poured down from the sky, shining on the beautiful Bai Ji, making the scene as beautiful as a work of art.

Not long after, Fang Li returned.

"Give."

Arriving at Arcueid sitting under the tree, Fang Li handed her the cold drink he was holding.

Arcueid looked up, her gaze not on the cold drink, but on Fang Li's face.

That face carried a calm and nonchalant quality that Arcueid had become extremely familiar with lately.

As if nothing had happened, Fang Li remained as self-willed and capricious as ever.

This made Arcueid a little irritated. She snatched the cold drink that was handed to her with a bit of rudeness, turned her head away, and refused to look at Fang Li anymore.

He's just like a little kid.

Fang Li could only shake his head with a wry smile, take the remaining bottle of cold drink, and sit down next to Arcueid.

"How are you feeling?" Fang Li asked casually. "Is there anything wrong?"

"...No." Arcueid didn't look at Fang Li, but still answered honestly, saying in a low voice, "I just feel so relaxed. I can't remember the last time I felt this relaxed."

Upon hearing this, Fang Li sipped his cold drink without saying a word.

Is it easy?

It can definitely be considered easy, right?

If you're not True Ancestor, you can't understand what it feels like to be constantly tormented by the urge to drink blood.

The only comparison Fang Li could think of was drugs.

Fang Li believed that Arcueid's suffering from the urge to drink blood was no less than that of an addict.

Arcueid, on the other hand, has had to endure this torment for eight hundred years.

Once you think about it this way, you can understand why the True Ancestor were willing to use their enormous power to suppress this blood-sucking urge, even going so far as to fall into a deep sleep to avoid it.

Even Arcueid, who was among the strongest of the True Ancestor, had dedicated his time to dreams for eight hundred years, and his time in waking up was only a very short period.

Therefore, if one cannot understand that feeling, Fang Li will not casually offer any words of comfort.

Therefore, Fang Li chose to remain silent.

However, while Fang Li chose to remain silent, Arcueid could not stay silent.

"I never expected that you would be able to kill the blood-sucking urge within me."

Arcueid turned his head and looked at Fang Li.

"I never imagined that the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception could do something like this."

No, Arcueid actually knew the principle of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, and understood that everything has its end and its Death Date.

Since they are things that can die, there is nothing that those eyes cannot kill.

However, knowing the principle is one thing, but being able to understand it is another.

Just like the urge to drink blood, it was like the only flaw in the perfect being, the True Ancestor, or rather, the disease that accompanied him throughout his life.

Is it really possible to kill this thing?

At least, Arcueid never thought of it.

But Fang Li accomplished it with ease.

"You can use those eyes without any difficulty, and you can understand the death of all things as if it were a matter of course. You can even kill a stubborn disease like the urge to drink blood. To describe you as a monster would be to underestimate you."

Arcueid stared intently into Fang Li's eyes, her crimson pupils revealing an unprecedented seriousness and focus.

"If your eyes continue to get stronger like this, you might actually become a god eventually?"

----"god".

This does not refer to the way Fang Li exists, but rather to his abilities.

Just like the demon god Balor in Celtic Mythology, who could kill thousands of troops and even countless gods with just a glance.

If Fang Li's Magic Eye continues to evolve like this, it will eventually reach that level, right?

"After all, your eyes are already very close to the original." Arcueid stared intently at Fang Li and said, "A human, daring to dream of possessing the power of a god, are you really sure you're not going to make a mistake?"

It seems Arcueid has already spotted the potential problem.

no problem?

How could there be no problem?

It was precisely because of the constant recording of deaths that the power of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception became even stronger, causing Fang Li's soul to become unable to bear the burden and begin to crack.

"I thought I was special enough, but your specialness is far beyond mine."

Arcueid spoke up in a persuasive tone.

"So, if you don't want to die, you'd better use those eyes less."

This is advice from the princess of the True Ancestor.

Unfortunately, Arcueid had no idea that Fang Li's constant understanding of the concept of death was not because the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception were reading death, but because the soul was automatically recording it.

As long as Fang Li continues to travel between different worlds and witness all sorts of things, the record of his soul will never stop.

Unless Fang Li locks himself in his personal residence in the Main God Space, not going anywhere and not seeing anyone.

In this way, the recording of the soul will stop.

However, at that time, Fang Li's Exchange Points will be continuously deducted due to his constant stay in the Main God Space.

When all the Exchange Points are depleted, there will only be one outcome for Fang Li.

That means being wiped out.

In other words, no matter what, Fang Li cannot escape death.

However, Arcueid is the same in this respect.

"Your situation isn't much better than mine, is it?"

Fang Li finally turned his head and looked at Arcueid, who was staring at him.

"I think you haven't noticed, have you?" Fang Li said bluntly, "Your problem with your vampiric urges hasn't been resolved at all."

In fact, Fang Li knew about this from the very beginning.

"If the True Ancestor's blood-sucking urge is like a disease, then does killing this disease mean you'll never get sick again?"

"That's absolutely impossible, isn't it?"

Fang Li's words made Arcueid lower his head, his expression gradually becoming somber.

However, just as Fang Li said, even if Fang Li kills Arcueid's blood-sucking urge this time, Arcueid will still have the blood-sucking urge in the future.

The urge to drink blood is just a desire, not a power.

Fang Li was able to kill once, but wouldn't Arcueid also have the same desire a second time?

The answer is, of course, no.

"So, this time, it's just that your illness has been cured."

"You will still get sick next."
