After AQ3399 finished typing a segment of text with his consciousness, he cautiously reviewed it several times before sending it out.

"Please forgive my wording issue earlier, I can confirm that I've mastered a certain method of longevity that can allow carbon-based life forms to break through the limits of their lifespan. However, whether it can achieve 'immortality' and whether it is applicable to the Longevity People, these two points cannot be confirmed with absolute certainty."

Upon seeing this message, the Pursuer replied almost instantaneously: "Great! I appreciate a cautious person like you. Ever since the destruction of the Pseudo-Immortal Dao Civilization, I've stopped believing in those blabbering impostors! Send the coordinates!"

It seemed like this person didn't need to think at all, or perhaps he had installed a rather advanced thinking acceleration module, much more decisive than AQ3399.

Following the routine taught by Ma Ran, AQ3399 replied cautiously: "Before sending the coordinates, let's discuss the price first! Everything has its value, doesn't it?"

This merchant-like demeanor made the Pursuer somewhat impatient: "As long as the existence of 'longevity' is confirmed, you can take all my property!"

AQ3399: "Sorry, we haven't traded before; the trust between us is almost zero. So... can we first discuss a detailed transaction price, or can you pay part of the deposit in advance? I never doubted the wealth of a Title Holder, but... for a Pursuer, the term 'all property' sounds quite suspicious..."

Pursuer: "You're very greedy and brave. I'll lay my cards on the table; I'm nearly bankrupt now. The only valuable Forbidden Card was sold to the Extremely Effective Monarch three years ago. I can use myself for the transaction! If your information is true, I can work for you unconditionally for ten years! You should know I'm worth this price!"

AQ3399 didn't immediately reply.

He looked at Ma Ran with a complicated expression.

All of the Pursuer's reactions were almost as expected by this Earth native young man.

Although not "completely consistent," it was still quite frightening.

After a hard fifty seconds, AQ3399 slowly responded: "Deal reached, I've saved the chat record."

"I believe that with the character of [the Pursuer], he will not break his word. I'll send you the coordinates now."

The Pursuer replied at lightning speed again: "Earth, China, seven kilometers northwest of Grass Hut Academy... Are you kidding me?"

Even if he was a lone wolf, accustomed to going it alone and relying solely on himself, he still had the habit of gathering intelligence and information.

As a Title Holder, his information channels were much more reliable than those of rookie Experimenters and ordinary Veterans. Even if the Mysterious Research Institute deliberately blocked some information, he knew many Longevity People were completely buried within this so-called "low-level civilization."

This time AQ3399 didn't beat around the bush or string along, but responded swiftly: "A Pursuer's time is very precious, how dare I toy with you? If I wasn't over eighty percent sure, and if I didn't have the ability to monopolize the secret technique of longevity, I wouldn't have specifically contacted you."

"What limits us Longevity People is never the decay and withering of body cells, but the withering of the soul!"

"The two visitors from Cangming Star, whether Sword Master or Demon Child, both appeared very young, but... the average lifespan of humans from Cangming Star is only about forty-five years! And these two have already exceeded the lifespan limit of Cangming Star people themselves!"

"The 'longevity secret technique' I mentioned earlier isn't something you'll get as soon as you arrive!"

"This is the valuable legacy left by Sword Master Lin Qiubai before leaving Earth!"

"That is a secret technique more advanced than 'Seven Vortex Swordsmanship,' directly pointing towards eternal life!"

"Unfortunately, it is something Sword Master left for Earth humans, and there are some very advanced encryption methods on it, only Earth humans can freely access it."

"I dare not violently crack it, fearing the contents will self-destruct, and I have to avoid the 'Prophet' and 'Martial God,' sneaking in secretly, so..."

The Pursuer didn't disappoint, quickly grasping the point: "I understand! I will find a way to get a few advanced [Disguise Cards]! I'll prepare thoroughly before coming over!"

"Within a day at the shortest, two days at most!"

"Wait for me!"

The communication ended here.

Under normal circumstances, intermediate [Disguise Cards] would be enough.

Advanced [Disguise Cards] are rare items circulating only among Title Holders, mostly used in internal strife, and can even disguise the natives of low-level civilizations as White Mane people, bypassing most monitoring methods.

This includes the "Space Gate."

An impregnable fortress is often breached from the inside—everything that happened today proved this saying has some truth to it.

With AQ3399 as the insider, Earthlings are no longer as blind and completely clueless about the Eternal Civilization as they were before.

When the game is up, the good bow is laid aside; when the sly rabbit is dead, the hunting hound is cooked.

Before the matter is fully settled, AQ3399 can live for another two days.

…

Time passed swiftly, like a white steed flitting by.

In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.

The trap was set, and the ambush was prepared, but Earthlings did not wait for the Pursuer.

On this day, AQ3399 received a message from the Pursuer.

"The Mysterious Research Institute is secretly capturing all of us Title Holders!"

"Damn the Extremely Effective Monarch! He applied early to set up a branch base, must have noticed the signs years ago!"

"I've contacted the Crimson Hammer and am using his guild power to escape!"

"The hackers from the Crimson Guild have already broken into the Mental Network, deleted our chat records, and encrypted our channel, so rest assured! After this, I will contact you with a new account! Those hypocritical scholars won't suspect you!"

"I don't care what ridiculous conspiracy the Mysterious Research Institute has, and I don't give a damn!"

"Give me another seven days!"

"Within seven days, I will definitely reach Earth!"

AQ3399 immediately contacted President Huang Weiguo, then, under Ma Ran's indication, gave a brief reply: "I'll wait for you at most five days! If you don't arrive within five days, I will switch partners."

In the blink of an eye, dozens of replies from the Pursuer flooded in, mostly profanities.

A second later, all the messages were retracted.

"Sorry! I've been hunted for the past two days, my mood is not great, I hope you don't mind!"

"Five days, right?"

"Just relying on the Crimson Hammer isn't enough to reach this level! So..."

"I'll offer an irresistible condition to drag the Extremely Effective Monarch into the water too!"

"Before escaping, I've already slaughtered all of your family and friends."

"Hmm... I killed them when they weren't wearing protective clothing, and the consciousness transmission devices were also destroyed in advance."

"So, no need to worry about our traces being leaked!"

"Stay put, wait for me five days!"

The Pursuer was never someone detached from worldly desires, living off the air and dew, untainted by the world, like a true Cultivator.

In pursuit of longevity, he had encountered numerous hardships and loaded countless pitfalls.

He has bowed down, knelt, eaten dirt, and dug graves.

He is unscrupulous, disregarding rules.

He disregards ethics and morals, stumbling his way forward.

By now, the Pursuer's thought process has entirely diverged from normal.

The same pursuit of "living longer," he is ten times more extreme than the Extremely Effective Monarch.

Such a guy, even if not guilty of a crime, would not be wronged if directly arrested and thrown into a mental hospital.

To achieve longevity, the Pursuer has broken all family ties, mercilessly killing all his relatives and friends, willing to stain his hands with as much blood as necessary.

At this moment, AQ3399 even doubted whether the Mysterious Research Institute was even capturing Title Holders on a large scale or merely targeting this bastard Pursuer!

AQ3399 was silent for a while and replied with six words.

"Grass Mud Horse!"

"Go to hell!"

He killed someone else's entire family and dared to boast about it, AQ3399 was truly astonished!

Now he was a hundred percent sure that the Pursuer had completely lost it, becoming a madman just like Demon Child Zhang Kuang!
