Chapter 1808: Chapter 1665: The Lifespan of the World

The shape of the Huangquan Continent closely resembles the Disaster. It possesses the tail of a Flood Dragon and the body of the Qilin Clan, entirely covered in golden scales and armor.

At the arm position, sharp armor bones protrude arrogantly, spawning many blades-like outer dragon scales. The dense outer dragon scales, combined with wild muscles, manifest an unbeatable sense of shock.

Under the coverage of golden scales, not a single weakness can be seen on Emperor Huangquan’s body!

Emperor Huangquan twists its body in the space beneath the Heavenly Palace, seemingly sensing someone behind it. Emperor Huangquan turns its skull, those deep yellow pupils, resembling stars and the moon, focusing on Chu Mu.

From Chu Mu, Emperor Huangquan feels the aura of Disaster, implying that he is the human responsible for disciplining its child.

The Little Huangquan Calamity is Emperor Huangquan’s youngest child, born when Emperor Huangquan was at the immortal level with Huangquan Mother.

According to biological rules, the higher the level of power, the lower the probability of reproduction, for at that level, offspring will inherit some of the previous generation’s strength, giving them extraordinary talents.

Emperor Huangquan has many offspring, but many were born before reaching the immortal level, some of them even have aged and buried in the ocean.

The birth of the Little Huangquan Calamity means it actually inherited the power of Emperor Huangquan at the immortal level, causing the Little Huangquan Calamity to be very fearful despite its young age, to the extent that it couldn’t control it.

In addition, Emperor Huangquan doesn’t have time to discipline the Little Huangquan Calamity, making it even more regardless of its actions, becoming a small tyrant in Henghai.

It is heard that humans can always subdue other races effectively, and now the Little Huangquan Calamity indeed hasn’t caused any trouble, Emperor Huangquan has gained more appreciation for Chu Mu’s capabilities.

Emperor Huangquan lingers in the sky, scrutinizing Chu Mu flying towards him.

The physique of Emperor Huangquan is comparable to that of ancient Jiao people, while Chu Mu’s build is not even the size of one of its scales, but this doesn’t hinder their communication.

"You’ve come quite early." Emperor Huangquan spoke, his voice booming like thunder, mixed with a surge of wind and waves.

Chu Mu was a bit surprised, why could Emperor Huangquan speak in human language?

Seemingly noticing Chu Mu’s confusion, Emperor Huangquan smiled slightly and said, "Having lived for thousands of years, some languages are always easy to learn. The physique of the immortal level differs from most lives, and the impassable boundaries of race are no longer as obvious."

"I don’t quite understand." Chu Mu said.

"Simply put, ’immortal’ refers to the eternity of the soul. Discard the physical body, and the differences between races aren’t so limited...we are kind of starting to jump beyond the category of ’spirit’." Emperor Huangquan said.

"You mean: Spirits should abide by the rules of birth, aging, illness, and death, and since we don’t follow them, we can’t be called ’spirits’?" Chu Mu said.

"Approximately, oh, the ancient demon is here." Emperor Huangquan turns his head, looking towards the west.

Chu Mu followed his gaze and saw demon clouds churning on the horizon!

Within the demon cloud, an astonishing silhouette slowly appeared, Chu Mu saw a giant tail stirring the outside sky like a mountain range.

A majestic body flies ahead, strolling leisurely in the demon cloud.

Though progressing slowly, it quickly reached Chu Mu and Emperor Huangquan.

Purple flames beneath its four hooves, the long fox tail also filled with purple flame breath, its silver hair long and fluttering, whiskers like a silver cloak, dragging long behind.

Proud, cold, majestic, wild, there was a moment Chu Mu even thought it was Mo Ye unwilling to let him go and chased up.

But judging from the aura, this Netherworld Purple Emperor’s aura was far stronger than Mo Ye’s, the purple flame on its body no less than the demon flame power he controlled!

It is the Netherworld Fox God, Demon Ancestor!

The Netherworld Fox God seemed to detect Mo Ye sleeping on the mountain top, its silver eyes watching it.

"It isn’t Netherworld." Netherworld Fox God spoke using human language as well.

What surprised Chu Mu was that the voice of the Netherworld Fox God is female, sounding dignified, cold, with an aura of inherent authority.

Mo Ye has nine tails, a stark contrast to the Fox God’s single tail, but the Fox God seemed not to judge Mo Ye’s uniqueness based on this. Presumably, with its immortal level’s mental power, it could discern that Mo Ye actually carried the bloodline of many fox clans.

"Do you know its origins?" Chu Mu asked eagerly.

The Netherworld Fox God shook its head.

"Let’s discuss the main topic." Emperor Huangquan spoke.

Chu Mu, the Netherworld Fox God, and Emperor Huangquan had already reached an agreement to maintain a friendly alliance, and if one side is in trouble, the other two must assist.

This time going to the Heavenly Palace, the three of them naturally stood together.

"Chu Mu, you’ve just stepped into the Undying Level, there’s a lot you don’t understand," said Emperor Huangquan.

"Yeah," Chu Mu nodded.

"As I said earlier, the Undying Level doesn’t really count as a ’being’; it has stepped out of the biological laws of life and death. Although an Undying appears only once every thousand years, over the long years, the number of Undying will eventually increase bit by bit, enough to affect the stability of this World."

"The so-called undying of the Undying Level is because our current strength is powerful enough to plunder all kinds of resources, using these resources to keep our lives prolonged. But our kind of plunder actually violates the laws of nature, after all, resources are not endless and will deplete due to our plunder, leading to the depletion of the world. So, the Heavenly Palace stipulates that the time the Undying Level is allowed to survive is at most ten thousand years.

Ten thousand years at most??

The Huangquan Land and the Demon Ancestor should have lived for several thousand years.

"Isn’t that quite long?" Chu Mu said.

The Netherworld Fox God shook her head, speaking in a cold female voice, "No Undying can live up to ten thousand years, because no matter in which era you become Undying, it’s calculated once with the Ten Thousand Year Roulette."

Chu Mu’s mouth twitched slightly, "Then for my Tenth Era..."

The Netherworld Fox God nodded, "You’re either fortunate or unfortunate."

"Ten thousand years isn’t as long as imagined. To preserve our lifespan, we choose to sleep and cultivate, hundreds of years just seem like a blink. Moreover, the once-distant Ten Thousand Year Roulette isn’t it already here?" Emperor Huangquan said.

"But why should the Heavenly Palace set such a rule, don’t some people in the Heavenly Palace live for tens of thousands of years?" Chu Mu questioned.

"Because as long as they shroud the Red Fire Day, only they can gain energy, preventing us from obtaining any resources to extend our lifespan. Of course, plundering is possible, but at the cost of sacrificing the energy that all living things depend on. With the Red Fire Day no longer providing its essence, the world is already in depletion, if we Undying Level beings plunder more, that means exchanging our fellow beings’ lives for our lifespan, until all living things are extinct, and we eventually die in a dead end without energy to find," Emperor Huangquan said.

After hearing Emperor Huangquan’s explanation, Chu Mu frowned.

Does the Heavenly Palace really dare to keep shrouding the Red Fire Day, leading the Spirit World to complete extinction?

To do so would be insane!

"The normal lifespan for Undying Level is about a thousand years, your thousand-year lifespan still has a long way to go, but after a thousand years, you will have to plunder resources from the Human Land to maintain your life," added the Netherworld Fox God, "You should be well aware of the power of Undying Level, and to sustain life and such power, gaining an additional year of life means consuming resources that could support a thousand billion Servant-level creatures."

"A thousand billion Servant-level lives..." Chu Mu gasped.

This figure is far too enormous!!

This is basically equivalent to all the beings in your New Moon Land living for 10 years," said the Netherworld Fox God calmly. After speaking, as if giving Chu Mu time to digest, she waited for a moment before asking Chu Mu a question: "Would you, to live for 10 more years, let all your clan perish?"

Chu Mu shook his head.

He himself has a lifespan of a millennium, to make all his descendants extinct for just an extra 10 years of life is something he could never do.

However, Chu Mu quickly realized a problem, and he gazed at Emperor Huangquan and the Netherworld Fox God...

Their lifespans should also be a thousand years, yet they have existed for several thousand years, does it mean they have lived till now at the cost of their clan’s death?

"This exchange only happens during a solar eclipse, normally, we can directly extract the natural essence provided daily by the Red Fire Day to prolong life, of course, excessive resource extraction also causes life imbalance, so most of the time, we choose to sleep to retard lifespan consumption," said Emperor Huangquan.

Chu Mu nodded, having roughly understood.

The Heavenly Palace controls the Red Fire Day, they have the right to let the world’s energy deplete and wipe out everything, including the Undying Level strong ones whose natural lifespan is only a thousand years.

In other words, if Undying Level strong ones want to fight the Heavenly Palace to the death, the result would only be that the Heavenly Palace continues, while everything else perishes until all the rebels die, and then the Heavenly Palace reopens the Red Fire Day, restarting the Soul Pets World into the next reincarnation, truly a fresh start.

If one does not want such a result, the strong ones of the Undying Era must accept the Heavenly Palace’s invitation for each Ten Thousand Year Roulette, an invitation all Undying Level strong ones know is a feast of doom, yet they have to attend...

As for how to deal with these increasingly powerful Undying Level strong ones, presumably, the Ten Thousand Year Roulette strong ones will decide.

"Then, of us Tenth Era strong ones, how many can survive?" Chu Mu immediately asked.

"Ninth Era, the successor from the Fourth Era seems to have not successfully crossed into the Undying Level, so he is not on the invitation list," said the Netherworld Fox God.

"At least half will be removed, among them, those selected as Ten Thousand Year Roulette level strong ones will guard the Heavenly Palace and no longer enter the Spirit World," the Netherworld Fox God said.
