Chapter 1085: Refusal
"Junior Qin Yan, thank you seniors for their help, and I feel guilty!" Qin Yan respectfully arched his hand, if this man hadn't appeared, he would have been a corpse by now.
"Help?"
The man shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "I'm here for a purpose, huh...... You should know that the origin of Hou Qing's mental method is a little strange, right? β
Hou Qing's mental method......
Qin Yan couldn't help but be surprised, he clearly remembered that when he met Hou Qing for the first time, he heard Hou Qing talk about the origin of his mental method.
According to what he said, the "Corpse God Formula" was obtained by him and two other friends before the battle of gods and demons, but this kind of mental method was too evil for the three of them to cultivate. Later, the war of gods and demons began, and Hou Qing's two friends fell one after another, until Hou Qing found that the human side was getting more and more at a disadvantage, and he tried to cultivate the "Corpse God Formula" at the expense of himself, but it almost became a disaster for the entire human race.
"Could it be that the Corpse God Recipe was left on Earth by its predecessors?" Qin Yan was taken aback.
At that time, Hou Qing said that it was not the seal jade disc that wrote the "Corpse God Formula", nor was it a variety of paper scrolls, but it was known through the description that it was a high-tech recording instrument.
At that time, there was no technology on Earth at all, so it was certain that the Corpse God Recipe came from other planets.
But......
Here's another question!
According to North, those races with super high technology in the universe all use the power of science and technology to make people have powerful abilities, and only the earth has a cultivation method - in this case, how can there be a cultivation method from an alien planet?
"How much can that ant-like electronic life form know about the entire universe? There was so much he didn't know. β
The man smiled faintly, he obviously saw through Qin Yan's mind again, but Qin Yan, who was thinking about it, was stunned.
That's an exaggeration, isn't it?
Many people have the ability to guess the other person's thoughts, but they don't really guess, but analyze them through the content of the conversation and the facial expressions of the other party.
Qin Yan was extremely good at disguising his expression, and in the previous conversation, he asked the other party if the other party had left the Corpse God Technique on the earth, but what he thought of was what North had said that other races in the universe could not cultivateβthese two things were not directly related, and they were not involved in the conversation, how did he guess it?
It's not a guess, it's a direct mind-reading technique, which is incredible.
"Even if I tell you, you don't understand that when you have the opportunity to reach a certain level, you will naturally know why."
All right.
Qin Yan was no longer so surprised, now he was completely sure that the other party was not guessing his mind at all, but could directly read his mind.
He smiled helplessly and said, "It's really easy to talk to the seniors, it seems that the juniors don't need to talk at all." β
"Theoretically, it does, but ...... If I were the only one talking, would it look like I was insane? So it's better to use words to have a conversation. β
"So...... The predecessors put the "Corpse God Formula" on the earth, there must be some special reason, right? β
"Nope."
"No?"
"Do you want those so-called cultivation methods? I can give you a few if you want, and some of them are stronger than "Corpse God Formula". β
"......" Qin Yan was completely speechless.
"If I say I'm just here to watch the show, do you believe it or not?"
Hearing the man say this, Qin Yan opened his mouth, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt a little credible, after all, this person was too powerful.
Let's take an analogy.
There are countless civilizations and races in the universe, large and small, strong and weak, and these races constitute a huge rivers and lakes.
What is Jianghu?
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and rivers and lakes mean conflicts, for the sake of face, for power, for interests, for all kinds of different purposes and reasons.
But on this quack...... No! To be exact, it should be said that it is outside the rivers and lakes!
There is such a person, his strength is too strong, incredibly powerful, in front of the countless races in the entire universe, he is like a god-like existence. He is omnipotent, no one can threaten his life, and in this case - He is God!
So......
With supreme power, with a long life that does not grow old and immortal, what can he do?
Struggle for power?
Enslavement of sentient beings?
Extravagant pleasures?
At first, he may have actually tried these things, but when the time was too long, these boring things made him feel bored.
So, he found a new game.
He used the universe as a chessboard and sentient beings as chess pieces, put some so-called treasures here, put some top-level mental methods there, and then began to watch from the wall. He spent his long life watching a butterfly effect, seeing how a little push he made would change the whole pattern, and he never got tired of it.
"Your imagination is so rich." The man read Qin Yan's thoughts without exception, but he neither admitted nor denied it.
"The strength of the seniors is no longer what the juniors can imagine, and because of this, the juniors really can't figure out why you walked from behind the scenes to the front of the curtain and appeared in front of the juniors."
"Do you want to play chess?" The man asked with a smile.
"Huh?" Qin Yan was stunned.
"I just want to take you to play chess." The man's expression became serious.
"I ......"
Qin Yan finally understood the meaning of the word 'playing chess', and he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Of course the juniors are willing!" β
"Do you know what chess really is?"
"This ......"
"There are gains and losses, and you can only get if you know how to give up."
"What do you mean?"
Qin Yan realized that things were not so simple, didn't he say a sentence: there is never a free lunch in the world - he has to put forward conditions.
Really.
The man looked at him with a smile and said, "In order to have no distractions in the process of playing chess, you must first let go and let go of everything you used to have." β
"No!" Qin Yan's face changed drastically.
"Not giving up now will only bring pain in the future, so ...... You won't be able to play this game well. β
"I'd rather be miserable."
"Do you know what I mean by pain?"
The man smiled faintly and said, "Everything in the world is rotten, it's just a matter of time. Not to mention those on the earth, the strongest is no more than the Heavenly Martial Six Heavens, even the top powerhouses of those super races will eventually fall. A few years is just a white horse, and it is okay to give up when the relationship is not deep, if it is the accumulated 10,000 years, or even 100,000 years, millions of years of feelings, then you watch them die one after another, what will happen? Play chess with me, and you will have eternal life, while the people around you will not. β
Father.
Wife.
Children.
Friend.
Qin Yan felt that his heart was a little spasmodic: if he could be immortal, but the people around him would be exhausted, and he would see the people around him leave him one by one, how painful would it be?
Immortal and indestructible!
This is the ultimate dream of countless warriors, but it is as unattainable as a mirror, even if it is as strong as the Great Emperor Pangu and the Supreme Three Emperors, their longevity will also be exhausted. However, he has this kind of opportunity, an opportunity that countless martial artists have devoted their lives to pursuing.
But......
Is that really a good thing?
When something is a dream that no one can pursue, but no one has ever achieved it, people will rush to pursue it.
However, when this kind of dream is within reach, you will find that it is not necessarily as good as you imagined.
"Senpai."
After thinking about it for a while, Qin Yan took a deep breath and said respectfully: "If you don't die, the price of immortality is to watch the people around you die one by one, to be as lonely as your predecessors, and your juniors would rather face stronger enemies like now, even if they die in the end." β
Immortality and indestructibility are incomparable, corresponding to a series of words that are enough to break down - loneliness, loneliness, and pain.
What's the point of living like that?
Love beautiful women?
Love to eat and drink?
Love power?
When you have all of these, you may enjoy it for hundreds of years, and you may still be interested in enjoying thousands of years, but what if it is endless?
The result is boredom.
In the endless life, you will eventually find yourself bored with everything, and you will end up wanting to die alone!
Qin Yan can be regarded as having seen through, the so-called immortality is not a good thing at all, but the most painful thing in the world, the key is that when you want to die, you may not be able to die-otherwise, how can it be called immortal and immortal?
"Lonely? How am I lonely? I'm doing well! Qin Yan's refusal made the man unhappy.
"......" Qin Yan had nothing to say.
"Boy!"
Seeing that Qin Yan didn't speak, the man became even more angry: "Do you know how many people want to be immortal? Do you know how many people want to lick my toes and want to play chess with me? You even refused? How dare you refuse! Don't pretend! I can see what's going on in your mind, you think I'm pitiful? Am I pathetic? β
ββ¦β¦β
Qin Yan felt that he was about to collapse: no one could control his thoughts and not think about it, but what he was thinking was seen by the other party.
What could he do?
Only a dead person doesn't think that he can't kill himself, right?
"I'm pathetic, am I? Good! Very good! β
After reading Qin Yan's thoughts, the man was naturally furious, and he yelled viciously: "Boy, I promise to make you even more pitiful." Aren't you unable to let go of the people around you? I'm going to make you never see them for the rest of your life, and let you know what true pity is! β
"Senior ......" Qin Yan realized that something very bad was about to happen.
"Shut up!"
With a wave of the man's hand, a whirlpool appeared in the void, and then Qin Yan felt that his body had lost the opportunity to move.
The man glared at him viciously, with a smug smile on his face, pointed to the gray vortex and said, "Do you know what this is?" It's a space made just for you, huh...... I gave it a very vivid name, the Nine Heavens of Despair - I don't know what despair is, do you? Go in, you! β
He raised his foot and kicked on Qin Yan's buttocks, and poor Qin Yan, who couldn't move or speak, plunged into the whirlpool......
