Chapter 33: Chapter 30: Sacrificing the Body to Repay the Abyssal Sea, Breaking the Head Crying to the Sky
For a long time.
The sound waves finally subsided.
The water surface returned to calm.
The elderly woman turned her head, looking at her brother who was nearing death, and murmured again, "Even the mighty Shiguang Emperor, with such great brilliance, clearly knew that humans are so weak and pitiful. He researched new Dharma Gates with all the national power to change the weakness of humanity."
"And all this is destined to be long, but he obviously overlooked another way to quickly break through the human limits." As Zhong Qingyu sailed with the giant ship, he suddenly saw a huge shadow below.
It was a severely injured giant octopus, whose nine human heads were nowhere to be found, and without the intelligence of human heads, it was nothing but a beast.
"Mastering countless passageways, scouting in the dark for so many years, I have finally found you!"
The elderly woman’s eyes were filled with desire, "It’s hard to imagine how powerful that terrible creature must be to injure you to this extent."
"Since we cannot swallow our Qi, and our bodies age towards death, why not change the part below the neck to a new body, and solve the problem that way?"
She displayed a yearning smile, gazing at the gigantic shadow in the deep sea,
"Young, strong, gentle, and soft... What a perfect body this is! This is the most beautiful creation I desire in this world, the glory and greatness deeply rooted in my blood!"
"Only such a perfect woman, with such a perfect body below the head, can be worthy of a god, right?" She recalled the story of divine descent announced by Shiguang Emperor.
When a god descends into the mortal world, it is different.
He was born in an ordinary mountain village in this world, with strange phenomena, and a shadow embracing the arrival.
"That shadow embracing me is no demon but a heavenly god."
"This is..."
"The god-given tear mole, I was born in the heavens, descended to earth, a holy god in the world."
"Heaven and earth, only I am supreme!"
...
How majestic!
How imposing and domineering!!
Her aging face revealed great longing and desire.
Only by seizing such a gigantic and majestic body now can she be worthy of that sacred existence born as a god!
"Abandon human ugliness, choose this most beautiful body." She murmured softly.
Laying beside her, the brother, lying on the sickbed in his final moments, showed immense fear.
His sister intended to cut off her own head and graft it onto that terrifying figure, the Lord of the Ocean.
Because she knew that the Qi Eaters of today all possess strong heads but a mortal body that will wither, so she intended to sever her head and switch to a more powerful and terrifying body.
The human species ultimately has its limits.
"Indeed, your eyes are also longing for it, right?"
The elderly woman seemed to understand the trembling in her brother’s eyes and whispered, "Because you are about to die of old age, I will not allow losing you, my only relative, again. I researched for countless years just for this moment."
The brother’s fear grew even deeper.
Lying on the sickbed, the old man wailed in agony, shedding tears.
"Don’t cry, I know you fear death, your life is waning, your body is decaying, so I brought you to sea."
The elderly woman showed a gentle smile, calmly wiped the tears from the corner of the old man’s eyes, and softly said, "Old Days’ books have poems that say: Do not let your eyes dry in vain, hold back your tears. The eyes dry, only bones remain, heaven and earth are indifferent."
"Don’t you understand yet? My last relative, my ridiculous brother, heaven and earth are indifferent, crying is useless; you can only rely on yourself to fight for Destiny."
She looked at the octopus, her eyes filled with longing and reminiscence, and continued to say:
"I know, just like me, you must have felt a strong allure to it when you first saw it back then."
"Those writhing tentacles, that elegant swaying stance."
"We both deeply longed for its soft, moist, and sensual tentacles to envelop and ravish us, to enjoy that supreme joy and delight."
"It is the shape I like."
"Come, fight with me, become a part of me!"
The elderly woman raised her lips, her eyes burned with the flames of battle, and suddenly burst into mad laughter, "I will, with my brother, continue the era, building a new nation!"
Bang!
A terrifying battle unfolded.
The big crab brought Zhu Zhengwei here, watching from a distance, he felt a bit uneasy, "Your leader hasn’t recovered from his injuries and was attacked by her?"
He just felt the world was a bit terrifying.
If there is no immortality, humans might face death with regret and intense unwillingness, but ultimately they would choose to accept it honestly.
But what if, in human history, the true "hope" of immortality appeared?
Humans would go mad!
At the same time, throughout human history, there has never been a true god, yet humanity is already at such a level of superstition and worship, building altars and Divine Halls, burning incense worshiping Buddha, all sorts of superstitions, and what if a true god appeared?
Humans would become even more insane!
Unlike Earth’s five-thousand-year civilization, though it appears similar with its feudal civilization and similar development, it might completely take a different historical trajectory!
Because of this power longing for immortality, that pursuit of gods, humans will inevitably begin chasing more incredible powers, leading to all sorts of terrifying events.
Zhu Zhengwei suddenly had a thought:
Such events before him would not be an isolated case!
Different from Earth’s civilized history, there already exists the extraordinary here, Qi permeates the world.
In the vast, future history of civilization before our eyes, there will be all sorts of humans, strong beings, life-forms, who worship "gods" fanatically in various ways, pursuing eternal life by any means!
This will be a very real issue.
Of course, at this moment Zhu Zhengwei was not ready to confront such fanatic cultists, to be blunt, eating big octopus is acceptable, but regarding human-animal issues in this aspect... a firm no.
Zhu Zhengwei put down the telescope, quickly steered the ship away, wouldn’t there be big trouble if he went over?
"Better them than me."
If I don’t use GM powers, I’d be captured immediately, using them would not be worth it, the cost too high, potentially shaking the foundations of the world.
He turned his head, candidly saying to the big crab:
"Life and death have their fate, wealth and honor lie in the hands of heaven, everything is determined by Destiny, everything is driven by celestial movement, the god never interferes with humans’ choices."
"She is a person with the qualities of a hero, full of courage, once witnessed your birth with me, and perhaps also the hope for your race’s rise."
Zhu Zhengwei sailed away, to avoid being discovered, he raised his hand, covering the sky with mist to obscure visibility.
"This is history, ordained by Destiny."
His expression calm, sitting on the boat disappearing into the mist, he laughed aloud:
"To sacrifice oneself to the Abyssal Sea, break the head and weep to the heavens. Who said life ends with mortality?"
Gurgle gurgle.
The Black Copper Cloud Crab God revealed a puzzled look, for his simple mind could not understand why such nonsensical words, yet Zhu Zhengwei did not save their leader?
It wasn’t until many years later that this high and mighty great ocean god, many times recounted this scene today to his subordinates with utmost respect:
"At the time I didn’t understand, only felt deeply shocked."
"But many hundreds of years later, when I recall it now, I keep repeating and savoring the True God’s poem of that time: To sacrifice oneself to become part fish, who says death is the end? I just feel it is filled with the epic grandeur of All Living Beings’ pursuit of immortality!"
"Truly worthy of the supreme, great, all-seeing ancient Old Days’ god."
