Chu Ming asked, "Aren't you going to go?" ”

The Immortal Emperor shook his head and smiled: "The pursuit of truth and Tao is naturally the lifelong wish of many immortals. ”

"The few Immortal Emperors I know are like this."

"They would rather give up their desires and soar to the desireless realm to continue their cultivation and become another new kind of consciousness existence."

"But in my opinion, what's the difference between not having desires and being dead?"

"Am I still whole without desire? Is it still the real me? ”

"And being able to continue cultivating even though you don't have the desire, does that mean that you have become a kind of machine that can only execute programs?"

"I don't want to be like that, so it's better to end it here, and this ending is pretty good."

Chu Ming nodded silently, as a person, it seems that he can't be called a human being if he completely abandons the setting of desire.

It may even mean losing oneself.

In that case, even if you step into a higher realm and have more powerful strength, it doesn't seem to make much sense.

Maybe after spending billions of years of leisurely years with your family in this life, and experiencing everything you want to play and do, you can also choose to end it.

Death is also a part of life, and as a living being, there is no need to reject death.

What's more, he was able to enjoy all the joys of life while he was alive.

After experiencing such a perfect life, it seems that there will be no regrets before dying, right?

As for that limit, the ultimate truth of that world, he didn't plan to pursue it for the time being.

After learning about the existence of the Desireless Realm, he vaguely felt that he had really reached that limit, and the result would be a big disappointment for him.

He smiled and said, "Taught, elder brother." ”

"I seem to have realized the way of life and death."

Then he disarmed the Soul Eater Sword on Cheng Zhi's body, and released all the immortal souls absorbed inside.

"You don't want to die yet, so if that's the case, then live well."

"The desire to live in this world is also commendable."

The Immortal Emperor took the lead in thanking Chu Ming and intended to keep him as a guest.

Chu Ming wanted to go back first and tell his family about the situation here.

After returning to the Dragon Domain with Cheng Zhi, Chu Ming told everything just now.

Compared to the Immortal Emperor who was beaten to his knees and begged for mercy, everyone was still even more shocked by the existence of the Immortal Tomb and the Desireless Realm.

I didn't expect the end of immortality to be such an ending, which is really embarrassing.

And Chu Ming also told his plan.

After learning that Chu Ming also chose death as his end, everyone's mood was still a little heavy.

However, Chu Ming smiled and said, "Why bother? This is how this world is, and the ending is already set at the beginning. ”

"Besides, I'm not going to die now, and I don't know how long I'll live."

"Billions of years, tens of billions of years, or even longer."

"If you want to cry and mourn, you have to wait until I die, right?"

"Maybe in the end, I'll be the last one to leave in this group."

Long Ling'er nodded and smiled: "That's right, I've only lived for 30,000 years, and I'm still early to die." ”

"But husband, I want you to promise me that you can't die until I don't want you to die."

Chu Ming took her in his arms with a smile and said, "No problem, if my Ling'er is nostalgic for me, how can I be willing to die?" ”

Xiao Yuying also showed a relieved smile and said, "There is an ending at the end of immortality, which may also be good. ”

"Husband, let's go together when the time comes."

Chu Ming also took her hand and nodded with a smile.

Li Haimeng also said: "Since the Desireless Realm is so boring, there is no point in continuing to cultivate. ”

"I'm staying here too, with my husband and sisters, and the children."

Jiang Zhilan said happily: "Death is not something unacceptable, anyway, there are many things that can be done before death." ”

"It's hard for everyone to get together today, and we have to celebrate."

After hearing this, the crowd didn't say anything more and began to celebrate.

Chu Ming watched his family, relatives and pets gather together, and his heart was satisfied and steadfast.

It's been a long time since I've felt this way.

Maybe it's because I know the end of my life, but I'm a lot more down-to-earth, and I don't have that sense of emptiness.

And in the future, there is no need for him to deliberately cultivate, and he can enjoy the rest of his life with peace of mind.

At night, Chu Ming slept with the four ladies.

The life of the husband and wife has become much more harmonious, and they have regained the real happiness they had before.

may also be because they know that their lives and love will come to an end in the future, so they will be doubly rare now.

In this way, whether it is life, love, or other things, there must be a limit.

Infinity and eternity sound wonderful, but they also make something meaningless.

……

I don't know how many years later, there are five more tombstones in the immortal tombs in the fairy world.

Chu Ming and the four wives made an appointment to die and were buried here.

Before that, they had done everything they wanted to do, and in the end, they naturally left without any worries.

The moment they were buried in the immortal tomb, their spirits and bodies all dissipated.

However, before this moment, Chu Ming was faintly uneasy.

It's not that he's afraid of death, but he's afraid of not being able to die.

For a long time before, he couldn't help but think about a question.

Is death the final end?

Is consciousness really completely gone with death?

What kind of state is it when there is no consciousness at all?

The more he thought about it, the more worried he became, and he vaguely felt that something bad would happen after death.

……

The next moment, everything had an answer.

His consciousness came somewhere.

It's not accurate to say "place" because there is no such thing as "place".

There is no light here, but there is no darkness either.

There is no length, no size, no space, no time, no feelings, no desires......

Nothing, not even the concept of "nothing".

However, after the emergence of his consciousness, it was naturally accompanied by the existence of some things and concepts.

The name of this place can be called "None".

And his consciousness can be called "being".

In this way, the first two concepts here appeared, and from there he and the place began to split in two, becoming two opposing concepts.

His consciousness didn't come here after death, but always been.

The world before it can be said that he created it.

Here, with the movement of his mind, he can create everything through his imagination.

To put it mildly, he is the Creator.

After he created the concepts of time, loneliness, and boredom, it was natural to create some additional consciousness to accompany him.

Then more things and concepts were created, and then there were all kinds of worlds, in which his consciousness was constantly reincarnated.

Before that, he had been reincarnated countless times.

But if you are more serious, these things can be regarded as hallucinations, after all, they are only the products of his consciousness.

And what really exists is here, a place where there is nothing, only a lone consciousness exists.

With a movement of his consciousness, a transparent black platform appeared here.

On a chair, his consciousness materialized into the body of Chu Ming in his previous life and sat on the chair.

"Alas......"

Sure enough, the most feared thing still appeared, and his consciousness would not disappear at all.

Because existence and disappearance are concepts that he has created.

A feeling of emptiness came over me.

This is immortality in the true sense of the word, and if he had a choice, he would rather let consciousness disappear completely.

I can't die if I want to, it's really a kind of helplessness.

However, recalling the experience of this life just now, he couldn't help but smile.

At least in this life, he resisted the temptation to pursue his limits and chose to live a limited and happy life.

Although those can be called illusions and imaginations for him now, for the independent personality of the previous life, those are real.

On its own, it was also a wonderful experience.

He collects the experience of this life as a collection, and if he misses it, he takes it out and experiences it again.

After that, he set out to create a new world.

"In this life, let's make it more difficult......"
