One night......

"Xiaochan ......"

After rowing the last bite of food, Chen Ze put down the dishes and chopsticks, stared at Hao Chan beside him for a long time, and suddenly opened his mouth and called her.

"Well, what's wrong?" Hao Chan looked slightly sideways.

"Xiaochan, how old are we this year?" asked Chen Ze.

Hao Chan frowned slightly and replied, "It's almost twenty-eight......"

"yes, we're almost twenty-eight......"

Looking at the frowning appearance of the girl next to him, Chen Ze couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and sighed: "I never thought that the past few years would pass so quickly, and the changes in the past few years have been so big for me, Xiaochan ......"

The words changed suddenly, Chen Ze reached out and took down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand and put them on the table, twisted her body to face him, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Let's get married." ”

"Ha ......"

Hao Chan's eyes opened slightly, and she was suddenly stunned, and after a while, her thin lips began to purse slightly, and a pair of eyes were bent into crescents, and she nodded with a smile: "Okay." ”

“......”

Chen Ze smiled and got up and walked to her side, hugged her shoulders, rubbed his chin against her hair, and whispered softly: "Although I have told you a lot of secrets that ordinary people cannot know in this life over the years, in fact, I have always hidden something from you, and I ...... those things that I have hidden."

As he spoke, his voice suddenly changed, he sighed lightly, and said expectantly: "Xiaochan, can you understand me?"

"Hmmm......"

Hao Chan covered the back of Chen Ze's hand, patted it twice, and nodded: "I believe you no matter what." ”

Smiling with relief on her face, Chen Ze held her little hand in the palm of her hand, and then said: "Xiaochan, I told you before that in the near future, the world we are in will become a new look, and at that time, ......"

"Anything imaginable or unexpected can happen, and even I can't fully predict what the future will look like, but I can at least promise one thing. ”

"For hundreds, hundreds, and thousands of years to come, I will always be by your side and watch over you. ”

"Count...... Thousands of years?"

Hearing this terrifying number, Hao Chan couldn't help but shudder suddenly, and turned her head sideways to stare at Chen Ze's eyes.

Chen Ze nodded with a smile, didn't explain much, and said slowly: "In the long years to come, I only hope that you can accompany me and don't let me spend it alone." ”

Hao Chan didn't speak, just stared at Chen Ze's eyes quietly, and then hugged his waist and buried his head in his arms.

A few days later, Chen Ze and Hao Chan went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate, and then notified their grandparents, Fang Jianye's family, and a few friends such as Song Zijin to hold a simple wedding.

As for the life after marriage, it is no different from usual, after accompanying Hao Chan for a while, Chen Ze briefly explained to her, and devoted most of his time to finding ways to replenish his vitality.

............

"The basis of vampire immortality genes is that they can rob humans and other creatures of their own lifespan by constantly obtaining the life force of foreign objects. ”

"Although I don't have the ability to directly transform Hao Chan's soul strength for the time being, I can start from the physical aspect, and the physical body with abundant vitality can completely enable them to reach the limit of mortal lifespan - a thousand years. ”

"I don't believe I can't think of a way to get them into the transcendent for a thousand years, but my immediate priority now is to replenish their fading life force with the help of something external......

Inside the Kunlun Mountain Enchantment Palace, Chen Ze sat on a stone chair, glanced at all the experimental instruments moved from the ranch manor around him, propped his elbows on the test bench, stroked his forehead, frowned, and pondered.

At first, Chen Ze thought that there might be a corresponding method in the wizard's memory in his mind, but ......

After going through the relevant memories, he found that almost every wizard in the Endless Astral Plane would completely dissociate himself from mortals after achieving transcendence, and at the same time, he would throw away all mortal emotions.

In this case, almost no wizard would choose to extend the life span of mortals, so there was no way for Chen Ze to be able to Rubik's Cube or Copycat now.

"After all, I'll have to figure it out on my own......"

In the following ten days, Chen Ze spent a lot of time in major forums and post bars every day, silently watching the brain holes and YY ideas published by those Internet gods and metaphysical theorists like a peep dog.

Brainstorming and boldly extending, Chen Ze really came up with some possible solutions from their brains, and one of the most reliable ideas that Chen Ze felt was ......

Nurture the Tree of Life!

As soon as he thought of this thing, Chen Ze couldn't help but think back to a game he had played, and the worldview of that game contained such a thing as the Tree of Life.

"With my current ability, I can completely copy this idea, and use the method of energy conversion to let the Tree of Life absorb the material energy between the heavens, the earth and the universe and convert it into the life energy I need. ”

"When the Tree of Life is successfully cultivated, it will only be a small problem to solve Hao Chan's vitality, and it will be ......"

In front of the experimental table, Chen Ze was obviously a little excited, and said to himself: "I can also use its life energy to make up for the lack of magic power on the earth, and through this method, the physique of all mankind can be improved, and lay some foundation for my future path to harvest the fruits of all mankind." ”

"But...... After all, life energy only plays a big role in the body, and the enhancement effect on the human soul is not too significant, and there are still many loopholes and flaws in this concept, which I need to overcome one by one. ”

Although this discovery made Chen Ze very excited, he was not blindly optimistic, he knew very well that life energy was not omnipotent.

Life energy is defined only for the body of living beings, and even if it has a certain effect of feeding the soul, it will not be too obvious.

Even if Chen Ze was able to cover the whole world with the Tree of Life and make the life energy of the entire world extremely rich, it was estimated that it would be difficult to find a few people with extraordinary qualifications, because ...... The efficiency of the transformation of life energy into the human soul is far less than that of magic and pure soul power.

Magic is the most essential energy in the universe, the integration of all material energy and void energy, and it is necessary to maintain the conservation of cosmic energy.

Moreover, magic has an inducing effect on the soul of any living creature and life, because every intelligent creature and living body has a soul, but the most effective and direct way to perceive the soul and make it have the ability to interfere with reality is to use magic.

As for the power of the soul, in simple terms, it is the homogeneous energy in the living form that has some magical properties.

However, for wizards with souls as the core, the conversion rate and adaptability of soul power are undoubtedly higher than that of magic power, and this is the reason why the wizard named Scalandu Mende in Chen Ze's memory can be promoted faster than orthodox wizards.

Chen Ze knows that this is a shortcut and a way for him to be promoted in the future, but now ......

Cultivating a tree of life that can transform life energy is the first step to lay this foundation for yourself!
