Chapter 787

"What exactly does your world do in its pursuit of immortality?"

This was the Empress's question. Fang Yu fell into thought over it, pondering for quite a while before finally answering, "They are mainly searching for something called the Gate of Eternal Life. As long as they find that gate and enter it, they can attain immortality. But I don't think the odds of that are very high—one could even say they are minuscule. That gate is simply too difficult to find. How difficult? So difficult that I don't even know how to describe it. Anyway, I've searched for it for so many years and still haven't found it. Of course, that is mainly because I'm not strong enough. Only by reaching the Immortal King realm can one have a chance to come into contact with the Gate of Eternal Life."

"But reaching the Immortal King realm is no easy matter. The price one must pay to reach that stage is enormous. As for how powerful an Immortal King is, let me put it this way: with a single thought, an Immortal King could reduce your world to ashes, leaving no one alive. With just one thought, your entire universe could vanish into nothingness, without a single living being left. Yet even existences like that cannot smoothly and successfully attain immortality. They can only live for twenty epochs. As for how long an epoch is, no one knows. As far as I know, the duration of each epoch is unknown, because no one knows exactly how long an epoch lasts. The civilizations of each epoch are different. Some civilizations are tremendously powerful, while others are extremely weak. Every civilization is different. Sigh, honestly, this is a very painful matter, because the price required to gain immortality is simply too great.
