"Failed again."

In the dimly lit laboratory, a figure collapsed in a chair.

Looking at the young body on the operating table, which was still twitching slightly and bleeding from the corners of his eyes, the owner of this figure had no desire to rescue at all, and he didn't even have the idea of taking another look.

In the eyes of the owner of this figure, although the young body on the operating table has not completely lost its breath, it has completely lost its usefulness as an experimental subject.

Life has no meaning at all, and if there is, it must be eternal life.

There is no point in lamenting the departed, and if there is any meaning to death, it is to make use of the dead.

The owner of the figure has always followed this creed, and naturally does not grieve for the young life on the operating table at this time.

And in the course of three days, thirteen test subjects have died because they couldn't bear the intensity of the experiment.

"Is it true that the body of ordinary people is too fragile?" Orochimaru said.

The current Orochimaru has not yet become a traitor, and in order not to attract the attention of the three generations of Hokage apes in the village, Orochimaru can only obtain some villagers from remote villages as test subjects.

However, the physical strength of ordinary people cannot withstand the experimental strength of the Great Snake Pill at all, and before it reaches the stage where it is worth recording the experimental data, the body of ordinary people cannot bear it.

If this continues, the idea of eternal life will never be realized.

"If I could take charge of a ninja village myself..."

Orochimaru lay on the chair and looked at the ceiling, a ghostly smile on his lips.

Tick...

Tick...

The subject on the operating table finally stopped convulsing, and the blood coming out of the corners of his eyes turned into a trickle, falling to the ground with a dull dripping sound of liquid.

At this time, Orochimaru was not in the mood to clean up the operating table, nor was he in a hurry to carry out the experiment of the next test subject, he needed to read some past research materials and books to see if there was a way to break through the current bottleneck.

Arriving in front of the gloomy bookshelf, Orochimaru's fingertips gently swiped over the ninjutsu books and research materials placed on the shelves.

In fact, Orochimaru knows the contents of these books well, and he doesn't have much hope for finding clues to break through the bottleneck of the experiment here.

Suddenly, Orochimaru's fingertips stopped on the spine of a book.

On the spine of this book is a very unfamiliar term, a term that does not exist in Orochimaru's memory.

Necronomicon.

Have I read this book?

When did I have this book?

What is this book about?

Driven by curiosity, Orochimaru pulls the Necronomicon from the shelf.

The cover of the book looks very ordinary, covered with a large amount of spider silk.

"It looks like it's been on the bookshelf for so long that I forgot to read it myself."

The abundance of spider silk indicates that the book has been here for a long time, but I haven't touched it myself.

"I'm just interested today, so let's read it a little."

Orochimaru unswiped the spider silk wrapped around the book cover and turned the first page of the Book of Necronomicon.

This is a title page, and most of the title page is blank, with only a sentence in the middle.

That eternal being does not die,

And in the eerie eternity, even death itself dies.

- Abdullah Al al-Hassard

Seeing this sentence, Orochimaru seemed to have been triggered by his own keywords, the pupils in his eyes quickly dilated, and his originally lazy posture immediately stood up.

Eternity!

Isn't this what you've been looking for?

Isn't the immortal reincarnation that I'm currently researching just for eternity?

And his own eternity is simply a child's eternity in front of this eternity.

Eternity as we understand it is nothing more than the continuation of one's own life with the help of the short lives of others to achieve an effect similar to eternity.

And what this title page says is true eternity!

This is an eternity in which even death itself dies!

Eternity!

Just one sentence on the title page has completely subverted Orochimaru's perception of eternity and opened the door to a new world for Orochimaru.

It turned out that his previous thoughts were completely limited by his own narrow inertial thinking, and the ultimate eternity is the real eternity.

The eternity he had sought before was only a brief eternity at best.

In the face of ultimate eternity, the ephemeral eternity is just a microcosm.

The corners of Orochimaru's mouth grinned at an incredible angle, and his eyes were no longer reading a book, but the most precious treasure in the world.

Even things that are ten thousand times more valuable than the most precious treasures.

With an excited heart and trembling hands, Orochimaru slowly turned the next page and began to carefully read the text of the Necronomicon.

This reading doesn't matter, but the content in it completely subverts the perception of the world that Orochimaru has built up over decades.

There is a list of knowledge that can be called taboo!

Long before the birth of the human world, there was an ancient being with great power and wisdom, which existed for eons of years and dominated everything in this world!

They are called the Old Dominators!

They are made of unknown matter far beyond the mortal world, and their structure is not affected by the laws of physics, and the lower beings of human beings cannot capture their essence, but can only depict their material shell through the wildest conjectures.

The Old Rulers are led by the corrupt, amorphous Azathoth.

Azathoth existed before the universe and its creation, and no one knows how He was born or what He looked like.

He is aimless, disorderly, unspeakable, great, and blind.

He was in the palace at the heart of the Endless Chaos, beating the invisible drum frantically, playing a flute that only emitted a disgusting monotonous sound, and he was constantly accompanied by the frantic howls of the other old rulers.

Out of Him came Darkness, Nameless Mist, and Chaos, and each of these three gave rise to the Three Great Old Dominators.

The darkness has produced the black goat of the forest that gives birth to thousands of children and grandchildren - Sabu Nicholas!

The Nameless Mist has produced the One of All Beings—Yog Sothoth!

Chaos gives rise to the chaos of ambush - Nyarrathotep!

The birth of the Three Pillars of God marked the formal establishment of all things in the world, and together they established time and space, giving life material form, and allowing these substances to operate according to the will of Azathoth.

...

The rulers of the old days are here, the rulers of the old days are here, and the rulers of the old days will be forever!

not in the space we know, but in the midst of the spaces,

They have walked calmly, they have walked through the primordial source, they are outside of space, and we cannot see them.

...

The world rules the world they have ruled, and they will rule the world they rule.

Spring and summer are followed by autumn and winter, and autumn and winter are followed by spring and summer.

They wait patiently, for they will eventually rule the land again.

...

Orochimaru greedily and frantically sucked the knowledge contained in the Book of Necrons, and the descriptions between the lines stirred wildly in Orochimaru's mind.

The endless greed for knowledge, the infinite yearning for eternal life, and those crazy truths made Orochimaru extremely intoxicated at this time.

Every time he turned the pages, Orochimaru's already existing worldview would collapse by an inch.

But Orochimaru didn't care about the destruction of the old knowledge in his mind, because it was immediately filled with new knowledge.

This alternation of new knowledge and old knowledge in his mind is also reflected in Orochimaru's body.

Orochimaru's body trembles uncontrollably!

(Due to the complexity of the Cthulhu Mythos and the fact that there are many disputes, it is not conducive to new people to read, so this book will not clearly distinguish between the ancient gods, the outer gods, and the old rulers, after all, this book is not a popular science text.) ）
