Upon receiving the system's answer, Chen Changsheng immediately laughed.
"System, those words of yours insult a great many people!"
"If two hundred thousand years is nothing, then what were all the people and events I encountered before?"
"Replying to host, any person or event is insignificant before time."
"You possess time, and at the same time represent time, but in the end, you are not time itself."
Chen Changsheng raised his brows at the system's words. "I don't quite understand what you mean. Can you put it more simply?"
"As an immortal, the host possesses infinite time, and also possesses the characteristics of time."
"What are the characteristics of time?"
"Invincibility!"
"No living being or object can stand against time. Since the host possesses 'time,' you are naturally the strongest being in the world."
"The only difference is that time is merely an emotionless rule, while the host is a living, breathing person."
"Therefore, the host will never become 'time.'"
After hearing the system's answer, Chen Changsheng pondered for a moment. "So that's why you set up the sleep mechanism."
"The purpose is to prevent me, the host, from being unable to bear the Weight of Time."
"Yes!"
"For living beings, unconsciousness and emotional release are both defense mechanisms inherent to life itself."
"But when facing time, living beings find it difficult to create effective defense mechanisms. That is why sleep became an option."
"Then if I had chosen sleep from the very beginning and stayed out of worldly affairs, would I not have suffered so much?"
Chen Changsheng voiced the doubt in his heart, and the system answered calmly.
"According to the rules, the host may choose that path, but such a path cannot attain immortality."
"Hahaha!"
As soon as the words fell, Chen Changsheng threw back his head
