Whoosh——!

A small man the size of a peanut and almost indistinguishable in the night is bouncing at high speed on the crest of the waves, leaping thousands of meters in one leap.

Starting from the third island of the Centaur archipelago, it was soon outside the largest island in terms of area.

The vast ghost fleet burning with ghostly fire was the first to come into view, and countless tireless undead sailors were patrolling back and forth with guns and knives.

At night they are noticeably more active than during the day.

In particular, a young [lich] on the ship, carrying a whale oil lamp that seemed to be a "pass" to the edge of the world, shouted from boat to boat:

"Pioneer Pilot Colonial Trading Company World Edge Branch is recruiting.

The edge of the world is friendly, the climate is pleasant, the people are simple, the moon is rounder than the material world, and all kinds of treasures that are good for undead creatures cannot be dug up.

Although we are cursed by the damned false gods and cannot go ashore, there are also a lot of treasures underwater.

As soon as you join the company, you will be given the bloodline sublimation ceremony of the [Necronomicon] immediately, and you will be transformed into a full-fledged cow employee with infinite strength, rough skin and thick meat, and unlimited endurance.

Generous salary, limited places, first come, first served! ”

The sailing collector stopped and took a closer look.

It was discovered that this young [Lich] should be Norwich the Younger, the son of Fleet Marshal Norwich York on the "King Edward".

"They got a token that passed to the edge of the world?

Each of these treasures is worth a fortune, and I only have one in my collection.

These White Roses in the Kingdom of Hattings are really shit luck!

This is preparing to recruit people to open up the edge of the world.

Soon, however, all of this will be mine, and the beauty with a rich dowry in her hand will be even more likable. ”

The corresponding high-level [First-Class Holy Relic: Emperor's New Clothes] not only confuses the existence of the two battleships, but also corresponds to the identities of the personnel on the battleship one by one, leaving no flaws.

Let Morton Gray recognize his cousin Edward as Norwich Jr.

He continued to move forward, quietly bypassing the ghost fleet on the periphery and feeling for the "King Edward" and the Golden Deer parked in the center.

When I saw them up close, my eyes once again glowed with enchantment, even hotter than Byron and Violet had when they looked at each other.

He looked really hungry like that.

"Normally, I would have killed all of them first, and then put the beauties in bottles.

But the Oceanic Throne is next door, and he probably won't sit idly by and watch me kill the [Lantern Man] and destroy the whole 'Rift Trench' situation."

I don't have that much time left to take my time through the beginning.

However, as soon as the seal was completed, I immediately turned around and ran.

Relying on my thaumaturgy [Virtual Boat Spirit] should be enough to temporarily suppress the original ship spirits of the ghost ship, so that they have no power to resist.

After returning to the Broken Islands, there will naturally be countless hours to slowly wash the two beauties clean. ”

The Sailboat Collector can't wait to grab the bronze steering wheel and an empty wine bottle, and activate the [Black Magic: Sailing in a Bottle] to put them all in the bottle.

"Humph!"

But before he could make a move, he suddenly heard an extremely suppressed snort from a building on the shore that was half soaked in water and half built on land, like a water prison.

It's like someone is screaming hard, but because they lack some kind of key vocal organ, they can only make this muffled sound.

Even if it was really called a throat cut, it wasn't so bad.

With the knowledge of sailing collectors who have been roaming the seas for many years, it was immediately clear that there should be a prisoner who was being tortured.

And the muffled grunt of dying pain was almost uninterrupted.

With the intensity of this torture, how many people are being tortured at one time?!

Even with the ruthlessness of the [Sailing Collector], he wondered if he had entered some bloody cave, not the territory of St. Byron, the "great good man".

Subconsciously mobilize the powerful senses of the legendary level, and listen intently to the movements in that water prison.

Unexpectedly, when he heard it, he had an unexpected surprise.

A very shrill voice like a mosquito said:

"It's time to give me Redbeard's head this time, right?

Thank you, Mr. Robert was a well-known fast knife hand back then, this knife skill is good, look at this head cut, the cervical vertebrae are cut off from the joint, and no bone is injured at all.

If I want to practice this kind of knife skill, it will take about three months to complete the 10,000 cuts before there is any hope.

However, have you ever thought about a question? ”

Then there was a movement that seemed to be the upside down of his head, and the shrill voice continued:

"As long as Redbeard's heart hidden in the [Hidden Soul Box] is not destroyed, he will not really die.

Even if it is dismantled, the bones and ashes can be restored immediately.

We've dissected this immortal body dozens of times in the middle of the night, and as long as we take the Breaking Stone, he'll resurrect on the largest piece of corpse every time and grow a full body again.

So here comes an interesting question.

There are so many body parts of Edward Redbeard that it is possible to rebuild dozens of complete Redbeards.

Then use the [Transmutation Blood] to activate it and make it exactly the same as before death, so which of these bodies is the real Redbeard? ”

When ordinary people hear this kind of brain-burning question, they are afraid that they will secretly scold: "I see that you are just too full" and then turn around and leave.

When the sailboat collector heard this, his body shook.

Because this question has been echoing in his mind for a whole decade since he obtained the [Theseus Ship Spiritual Secret Instrument]!

He also spent a decade alone on this path searching for answers.

In essence, it is a variant of the ultimate problem "Theseus Paradox" in the [Theseus Ship Spiritual Secret Instrument] - the Redbeard Paradox.

Although he and the group inside took a different transcendent path, at this moment, they were chasing the same problem, they were fellow travelers!

If it weren't for the fact that Morton Gray knew he was an infiltrator, he would have wanted to run in and sit with the gang to discuss the issue.

Robert Riston, who was distributing dissection materials to a group of great wizards, thought for a moment and responded to the [Mosquito Mage]:

"You Blood Thirst Order should know the answer to this question best.

[The Blood of Transmutation] is the blood of transformation and replacement, symbolizing the eternal thing in this world, that is, 'change'!

The great Father of Medicine wrote in his writings that even the body of an ordinary human being is always changing.

Proteins, the basic materials in living organisms, refer to the information carried in the genetic material to keep our bodies updated.

For example, human stomach cells are renewed once every 7 days, skin cells are renewed once every 28 days, red blood cells are renewed once every 120 days, and liver cells are renewed once every 180 days.

In about a year, 98% of the cells in the human body will be renewed, and it takes 7 years for bone cells to be renewed, so the cells of an average human body will be completely replaced every seven years.

I can ask the same question in a different way.

Seven years later, are you still the same person you are now? ”

Silence fell in the water prison.

But all the Dark Wizards, including the Sailboat Collector who was eavesdropping outside, were convinced that they would still be themselves seven years later.

Although the materials that make up the body are no longer the same as before, the form and structure have been preserved intact.

It is the genetic material in the body, or the information they carry, that plays a key role – the "genetic code".

At this time, [Lady Leech] continued:

"His Excellency the High Priest has made it very clear in the theory of genetics.

Mortals may not be immortal, but the genetic code they carry in their bloodline can, which can be regarded as a kind of 'collective immortality'.

Individuals will eventually die, but populations or families will survive for a long time.

For example, the Y chromosome remains unchanged in males of the same family lineage and can be inherited over thousands of years.

In the absence of mutations, the Y chromosome is inherited from father to son and grandson, and the genetic information carried is always the same.

Externally, it is the aristocratic lineage and family inheritance.

That's why Your Excellency wrote in the book: 'YY is eternal, one is eternal, and if you love her, give her an ancestral chromosome.' ’”

When Morton Gray heard this, he was immediately touched and excited:

"Yes, yes, this is it!

Everything is changing, but life can be eternal in an alternative way.

For the 'Ship of Theseus', what changes is wood, what does not change is information, which is a unique way of composition in an infinite variety of material structures.

This is the life information and genetic code of Theseus!

I'm enlightened! I'm going to become a god! ”

The personality of each ship spirit is equivalent to the fifth-order [Pseudo-God] of the Mythological Era, and initially has the power to fight against time.

For example, the dragon head ship was a legendary battleship hundreds of years ago, and the ship spirit is still alive and kicking up and down, as long as it is not physically erased, it will continue to jump alive.

This is the lowest level of immortality that can be achieved with the retention of the self, far beyond those who have immortality but have no ego at all.

It's just that it hasn't been many years since humans have re-embraced forbidden knowledge, and few people have been able to say what it is that can make people immortal.

Numerous dark wizards, and even the cardinals of the Church and the pre-Divine Council are searching for this answer.

When a [Sailing Collector] reaches a high-level legendary level, ordinary knowledge has long been not an element that restricts their growth, but cognition is.

And the answer to the "Theseus Paradox" is the key to his promotion to the fifth-order Legendary Ship Spirit and obtain immortality!

In other words, every fifth-order [pseudo-god] born needs to extract such an eternal and immortal concept from his own path, and then anchor it to death.

Collectors of sailing boats probably listened so engrossed that before they knew it, they were walking up to the island, getting closer and closer to the water dungeon.

I didn't notice that a slightly hazy layer of "border locks" had quietly sealed off the entire No. 1 island and the surrounding seas.

Suddenly, he heard an inexplicable dead silence in the water dungeon.

Then a clear voice sounded in his ears, and the words that came out penetrated his heart like divine voices:

"The basis for determining whether a thing is not itself, not the substance that composes it.

Rather, it is the internal structure of the thing—the relationship between the material elements—and the spatiotemporal continuity of the thing.

Stripping away and summarizing the essence of the 'ship of Theseus', that is:

A specific relationship between parts that have a spatiotemporal continuity.

Even after countless repairs and replacements of wood, the ship of Theseus, which has always sailed on the sea, is still its own.

If someone keeps helping it maintain this particular relationship, there is no doubt that the 'Ship of Theseus' is immortal.

No amount of time or force can destroy this concept, just as billions of years cannot destroy a mathematical theorem. ”

Hearing this, the [Sailing Collector] finally couldn't help but jump up, as if he saw a road in front of him.

Dancing and excited:

"The ship of Theseus is a specific relationship between parts with a continuity of time and space!

It's so incisive, it's so incisive!

Why didn't I think of it?

This is the most important pillar in the fifth-order forbidden ritual 'Ascension Ladder', it is the ladder of immortality, and I will definitely be able to anchor that eternal symbol this time.

Become the first being among the humans of the Old World to attain immortality in the new era! Hey? ”

Suddenly I realized that something was wrong.

When I looked up, I saw that while my mind was swaying and I couldn't help myself, a young man and woman with a beautiful appearance and demeanor quietly appeared on the street not far away.

The young man was dressed in the uniform of a commodore of the Navy of the Black Courts, and the girl was dressed as a confidential secretary in a shirt and trousers.

Looking around again, I don't know when a total of fourteen third-order great wizards silently gathered around, and many of them had not yet dried the blood on their hands.

On the other side, [Guardian Knight] Bruch, [Blood Red Whiskey] Alfred, nearly ten third-order pirate officers, plus [Blue Hair] a fourth-order shame.

The ghost ship "King Edward" on the sea also sailed silently to the shore.

The two fourth-order undead officers on the ship and the third-order undead officers who also exceeded double digits showed their muzzles and swords at him.

With so many middle-order transcendents gathered together, Xuan He's transcendent aura almost illuminated the night sky, but it was blocked by the border lock, and no one noticed the abnormality.

In this world, even gods will die under siege by ants.

If they fought at any cost, their terrifying lineup would be enough to besiege and kill an intact fifth-order [False God].

"Mr. Morton Gray, [Collector of Sailing], it is you."

Just now, two giant wolves have alerted Byron to the malicious humans who have quietly come to the island.

He could only change clothes with Violet as soon as possible, and launched a counterattack against the "sailing idiot" who had fallen into the eyes of the two ravens.

While throwing out a well-known theory in the previous world to attract his attention, he completed the encirclement.

At this time, he didn't order everyone to fight to the death with a fifth-order, after all, it was hard to save this little money, and even if he won the battle, he would lose a lot.

Instead, he nodded to him and said:

"Mr. Moulton Gray, please give me a face!"

Faced with this sudden trap, the sailing collector was about to strike first, and as soon as he heard this, he immediately took a beating.

I subconsciously want to continue to listen to the unmundane Mr. Saint Byron in front of me, who seems to be really "possessed by the Holy Spirit", has any high opinions.

But when he saw Byron's backhand, he threw a golden card at him.

"Catch!"

The card's light vanished, and when it reappeared, it had transformed into a giant golden scale.

The ends of the tray landed on top of his head and that of the Sailing Collector.

A majestic voice sounded in the hearts of the two of them:

"The rule of dominating the scales: according to the level of secular status, the subordination of both parties is enforced.

The higher status has complete dominion over the lower one, and can exercise three absolute orders against him, except for suicide, for a period of one day! ”
