Ever since he came to the world under one person and began to cultivate, there was a question that had been haunting Zheng Shu.

That is: What is an immortal?

If it is the external manifestation of immortals or similar concepts and other things, it is very clear in various famous sects and even some ordinary ancient books.

But Zheng Shu still didn't understand what the existence of "immortals" was in the world under one person?

A powerful being that far surpasses other creatures?

If it was just that simple, then Zheng Shu could have called himself an immortal a long time ago.

Even before he came to the universe, after his body grew to the age of ten, his strength had far surpassed the description of immortals in ancient books.

But there is no doubt that even Zheng Shu would not feel that he could be regarded as an immortal in that situation.

Could it be that the so-called immortals are super beings whose human life has evolved to some limit?

Judging from the performance of those strangers under one person, we can agree with this conclusion.

After all, even an acquired alien who has just obtained Qi can be judged by the panel to be not human.

Although the growth of strength is not high, after the introduction of the Qi Cultivation Method, it far surpasses the cultivation method that Zheng Shu has obtained in other worlds in terms of strengthening the evolution of life alone.

However, this conclusion was overturned after Zheng Shu's cultivation reached a certain level, and although the help of practicing Qi Fa for the evolution of life was quite amazing when he was just getting started, the effect of life evolution dropped strangely after that.

The easiest way to identify this aspect is to look at the increase in the life span of a cultivator by practicing the Qi method.

Even if you are just getting started with the Qi Fa and are not very talented, as long as you don't experience natural and man-made disasters or the like, or if you have suffered some irreparable injuries when you were young, then you can live to be more than a hundred years old in peace.

But even if it was a top-level powerhouse like the Old Heavenly Master, who was completely several levels apart from the ordinary alien level, his lifespan might only be around one hundred or thirty or forty years old.

In the Inhuman Realm known to Zheng Shu, the only existences that could really obtain near-immortality were those who had cultivated the Six Reservoir Immortal Thieves, except for Feng Baobao.

That is to say, if these few cases are excluded, the method of practicing Qi of the alien can only allow the user to live to the natural limit of the human body.

In this way, in addition to the assistance to life evolution that is particularly beyond the norm when he is just getting started, the assistance of the cultivator in life evolution after practicing the Qi method is not even comparable to some genetic medicines.

And if the immortals are just some kind of life that has evolved to the extreme, it can't explain the overly high-tech skills used by the aliens on Earth.

After communicating with the cultivators in the universe beyond the stars, Zheng Shu discovered how strange the aliens on the earth were in the cultivation world of the galaxy.

Because the elements of the entire world are relatively barren, the cultivation methods of this world are basically to tap their own strength inward.

This principle is true not only on Earth, but also for most of the schools in the galaxy.

And the inward digging cultivation method also means that cultivators are very clear about their own strength and skills, both in terms of cultivation methods and principles.

That is to say, know what it is, and know why it is so.

For example, the Yuanying Sword Qi mastered by the Yuanying Gate is not only the release principle, but even the history of development has traces to follow.

In the beginning, the so-called Yuanying Sword was just a method of releasing an air blade, which was a shock wave released by the outside air by forming a certain circulation of the energy in one's own body.

Because it is quite complicated to use and has average power, it is not famous.

Later, with the slow development of science and technology, the people of the Situ family also kept improving the operation of the Yuanying Sword.

From the Yuan Infant Cannon released by the simulated gun, to the fission sword qi released later according to the principle of nuclear fission, to the later fusion sword qi, and even the current antimatter sword qi.

Each method of releasing sword qi has a very complete principle explanation and guidance context, and the Yuanying Sword can only continue to develop with the development of science and technology.

For example, when it comes to fission sword qi, ordinary human brains can no longer handle this level of operation, and must rely on the special sword-type supercomputer to assist in the operation before it can be released.

However, on Earth, there are many technologies that are more difficult than making antimatter, such as Huo Dezong's Fire Escape Technique, which is a space jumping technique no matter how you look at it.

In addition, there are many skills in various force field control, energy shields, future prediction, and thinking transformation types.

Normally, if a civilization has mastered so much technology, then even the interstellar union must be cautious in the face of such a civilization.

But in fact, on the contrary, although the aliens on Earth have the methods of using these skills and cultivation methods, they do not understand the internal principles at all.

Although the ancestors of various factions have also used various mystical and mysterious explanations to explain partially, the real core principle is basically a genuine black box.

If the immortals were really just a simple life evolution, there was no reason why they could even know these science and technology together.

After a fierce battle with Yi, Zheng Shu finally found clues from him and understood the truth of the so-called "immortals".

After the truth is revealed, it is actually very easy to understand, and the second guess is very close to the conclusion.

The so-called "immortals" are actually creatures that touch the rules of this world after the evolution of living beings reaches a certain limit, and then obtain the "power" given by the world.

In other words, the immortals in the world under one person are actually the complete body dragon king of the dragon world, or the same type of existence as the gods of the moon world.

Of course, the reason why Zheng Shu understood this was entirely because he had been these two existences, so he was able to quickly reveal this secret during the battle.

If it is a creature native to this world, it may not be possible to understand the true face of the "immortals" until they fight to the death.

However, although they have all evolved to the limit of life and obtained powerful existences, there is still a slight difference between the immortals under one person and the existence that should also be powerful in the previous two worlds.

The first is the type of power, whether it is the dragon king of the dragon world or the gods of the moon world, the power that each of them can grasp is concentrated in a single realm.

For example, the "single" power of recovery, material conversion, and thermal energy control.

Although these relatively simple powers can also exert quite complex effects through the development of users, it is true that there is no good way to deal with some things that deviate from their own powers.

The power obtained by the immortals in the world under one person is more "comprehensive", although in terms of "depth" it is weaker than those dragon kings and gods who control a single power, but it is indeed far beyond in "breadth".

If there is no suppression of the same level, the power displayed by the immortals will be a little more "all-powerful".

And because he has a very comprehensive power, even if his power is not very strong before he becomes an immortal, after becoming an immortal, he can exponentially amplify the power he releases through his power.

This is something that even the dragon kings and gods who also have power cannot do.

“…… Previously, I tentatively attached the mysterious counter circle to my carapace, and you really couldn't completely disperse the power I released in time, so I had a corresponding guess. ”

Zheng Shu said as he cut off a limb that had just grown very easily.

Not only that, but Zheng Shu has been constantly laying a mysterious counter-magic circle around himself and Yi since just now, just to cancel out all the rule distortions and powers he can cast, so as to ensure that he has no ability to resist.

“…… I would also like to thank you for the pressure you put on me in the previous battle, which allowed me to grasp the power in my body so quickly. These powers are not only manifested in the physical aspect, but also in this particular passivity that surrounds my body. ”

After listening to Zheng Shu's explanation, he carefully felt the rules around his body, and after a long time, he looked up at Zheng Shu in shock.

"You...... It only took such a short time to learn to resist my 'Dao' with the 'Dao' under my control?! ”

A place that shocked was not only that, in his perception, the "Dao" that Zheng Shu had mastered should be quite incomplete (the limitation of Crystal Valley's ability), but the other party could use such a broken Dao to offset his complete Dao, and it was in such a short period of time......

"Ahem, I'm born with divine powers."

Coughing dryly, Zheng Shu looked away a little weakly, he couldn't say that he had played a similar role in both worlds, so he was quite experienced in controlling these things.

"I'm ashamed, I always thought that my talent could be called the top even in this universe, but I didn't expect that there was such a treasure in this world." Although Zheng Shu's answer was a little strange, Yi still let out a heartfelt admiration.

"Even if you praise me like that, I can't let you go." Zheng Shu tilted his head back in disgust.

"Hah! I didn't expect anything like that. ”

After the two talked like friends, the two sides fell silent for a moment, and the atmosphere became much more solemn in an instant.

The carapace that had been cracked on his face quickly healed and turned back to his expressionless appearance, and the momentum on his entire body exploded, and the breath from the superior predator who preyed on all living things filled the entire space.

A slightly gentle smile on his face also retracted, and he also became expressionless, although his limbs were completely severed, his eyes still carried the indifference of seeing everything in the world as a dog.

"How? Why don't you save me some effort and explain everything I want myself, so that we can both save some time. Zheng Shu was the first to ask.

"With our strength, do we still need to worry about time?" He raised his head and calmly stared at Zheng Shu's eyes that were glowing with blue energy flames, "Although Your Excellency's power is indeed strong, if you want to know the truth, it is not qualified now. ”

"Hahahahaha! You mean, I can't know the truth that a guy like you who is weaker than me can know? Zheng Shu looked up and smiled as if he had heard some joke.

In the face of Zheng Shu's ridicule, he was not angry at all, but chuckled:

"Naturally not, with Your Excellency's strength, you are qualified enough to know the truth, but if you want to know the truth, then you must accept my inheritance. Accepting my legacy, not only the truth you want, but also the power, power, and wealth at your fingertips, including my position as interstellar co-chair. ”

The inheritance of the supreme chairman of the interstellar union, even if you don't know what this thing is, I'm afraid that as soon as the news is transmitted, the people of the entire galaxy will be boiling.

But for such a "temptation", Zheng Shu's reaction was unusually flat.

"What are you? Threat? Or is it some kind of inexplicable ban? ”

"It's just an old man's advice to a young man." One shook his head.

Of course, there are two reasons for this. I already have a wisp of true spirit in the Tao, and death in body and soul has no meaning for me, even if you kill me, it won't be long before I can be resurrected in the Tao.

We are all cultivators, and you should also know that those methods such as forcing and searching souls are meaningless to me, and if you want to get the truth, you can only do so. ”

Faced with Yi's threat, Zheng Shu sneered, and Yi continued to speak as if he didn't feel the killing intent overflowing from his body.

"Your inheritance from me will not affect your freedom, the only thing you need to do is to protect this galaxy."

"Guarding this galaxy? Speaking of which, judging by the mental fluctuations of those fleet commanders before they died, it seems that you issued the order because you felt that I would threaten the safety of the entire galaxy.

But I didn't seem to have that kind of strength at the time, so I ...... Do you think I'm going to threaten this galaxy when I become an immortal? ”

Zheng Shu's originally silent eyes lit up slightly, as if he had found a topic again.

"Strictly speaking, as long as the immortals exist here, it will cause huge losses to this galaxy." Ichi shook his head and retorted.

"This galaxy is on the verge of limits, and the fragile order could collapse at any time, even I don't know if one more new immortal will crush the fragile balance of this galaxy, but I can't risk the creatures of the entire galaxy."

"This is very interesting, listening to you say this, is it a natural disaster for immortals? Aren't you here too? Zheng Shu was interested.

"The immortals themselves are the end of life, of course they will not be natural disasters, and I have some differences from other immortals, let alone have an impact on these galaxies, the trouble lies in the subsequent impact after the birth of immortals."

"How?"

"You should have discovered it when you first came to the universe, this strange place in the galaxy ......"

Turning his head to look at the starry sky in the distance, his gaze was leisurely:

"That's something that anyone with even a modicum of biology can find wrong."

“…… Mankind? Zheng Shu's mental fluctuations also carried a trace of solemnity.

"Yes, even a child, as long as you have learned a little bit of related theory, you can know that even creatures that are a little farther away from the same planet will evolve into different types after years of isolation.

In the endless sea of stars, most of the intelligent creatures are human beings, and a large part of them are completely indistinguishable from other human beings except for culture, including genes. ”

looked back at Zheng Shu with a serious expression:

"The reason why this situation has been formed is precisely because of the 'influence' that follows the new immortals."

After hearing his words, the huge silver-white monster suspended in space fell silent, as if it was tangled.

Seeing this, his eyes lit up, and he struck while the iron was hot: "So accepting my inheritance will not have any adverse effect on you, it is enough for you to make a move at the necessary moment......"

"Alas......"

After a long silence, the silver-white monster let out a long sigh.

Feeling the sigh in his mental fluctuations, Ichi's eyes became brighter and brighter.

"What do you think?"

"Sure enough, the cannibal creature still has a bit of a diaphragm in his heart." After a long silence, Zheng Shu finally let out this sigh.

"Huh?"

After glancing at the one who was a little confused, Zheng Shu blinked, recalled it, and suddenly realized:

"Ahh You mean what you just said? I'm sorry, I was struggling just now, so I didn't listen very carefully.

All the nonsense you said doesn't mean anything to me, I'm just thinking about what to do with you.

I was supposed to be a little nervous about you being a humanoid creature and eating it directly, but what you said earlier intrigued me, and I could barely bear it in order to get the answer in your head. ”

"You?!"
