[Shen Yang now highly appreciates you.]
["The Boundary War is approaching. This is a catastrophe that the entire Human Realm has to face, not the responsibility of a single person.
But you have taken the initiative to shoulder the responsibility of resistance and have been running around for this. It is truly a blessing for the Human Realm to have you.
Rest assured, if the foreign races want to invade, the Shen Family will do their best.
Now that we have the intelligence you provided, we have already gained the upper hand. Leave the task of strengthening the power of the warriors in the Human Realm to the Shen Family."]
[The star field is rich in resources, and the Shen Family has mastered a full eighteen ways to utilize them.]
[As long as the Shen Family is willing to allocate some resources to arm the warriors from all sides in the Human Realm, the combat power of the human race will surely be comprehensively improved.]
[This is much better than putting all the eggs in the basket of the Shen Family.]
[The previous simulation was a lesson.]
[Once the Shen Family was targeted and defeated by the Dragon Race, the chance for the Human Realm to turn the tables was slim.]
[Although the Shen Family was breached last time, it was due to the absence of the ancestor. Don't ask why the ancestor was absent.]
[Shen Yang seemed to remember something and frowned, saying.]
["In my impression, although the Dragon Race is not weak, it is not among the top races in the Void Realm.
It was possible to succeed in the sneak attack on the Demon Race 30,000 years ago. We can just assume that they won by unfair means.
But they have been launching boundary wars for the past 30,000 years and have been winning and surviving until now?"]
[You speculated.]
["Could it be that the Dragon Race has become stronger and stronger through successive boundary wars in the past 30,000 years?
They can give their soldiers lifespan, which means that their high - level members will only have more lifespan.
With the long - lasting lifespan of their strong, the number of their strong will naturally increase, forming a crushing situation against other worlds."]
["No, this is impossible. There is a limit to the number of cultivators that a world can support."]
["What do you mean?"]
["Suppose a world can only support a maximum of 100 Body - Refining Realm cultivators.
When 1 cultivator in the Spirit - Gathering Realm appears among these 100 Body - Refining cultivators.
The remaining 99 Body - Refining Realm cultivators will never be able to break through unless the Spirit - Gathering Realm cultivator in front dies."]
["What's the principle behind this?"]
["The amount of Mortal Qi is constant."]
[Old Shen is really an academic talent, opening up a new perspective for you.]
[The so - called essence of heaven and earth that warriors often talk about is actually a part of "Mortal Qi".]
[The amount of Mortal Qi in each Void Realm is fixed.]
[When a cultivator starts from being a mortal and continuously climbs up in the cultivation realm, in essence, it is a process of continuously storing Mortal Qi in his own body.
Only when he dies will the Mortal Qi in his body be released.]
[It's not just cultivators.
All living things in the world, during the process of growth, will store Mortal Qi and only release it during the process of decline such as aging and death.]
[Mortal Qi has its own ownership.
If a human goes to the Demon Realm and dies there, the Mortal Qi released after his death will still return to the Human Realm.]
["According to this, every Void Realm should be equally powerful, and the number of strong should be the same?"]
["Cultivation is not that simple.
The cultivation potential of each race is different.
Some races have developed for millions of years and still don't know what the Martial God Realm is.
The human race was once at the top of the Void Realm. Even in that era, the number of strong never reached the limit of the Human Realm."]
[Shen Yang told you these things just to say that the Dragon Race cannot accumulate an unlimited number of strong just by everyone having a long lifespan. There is always a limit.
But it doesn't mean that the number of their strong won't form a crushing situation because there are relatively few strong in other worlds.]
[Suddenly, you had an association.]
["What if... the Dragon Race has found a way to change the ownership of Mortal Qi?
They kill all the living beings in a world through boundary wars, release all the Mortal Qi, and then transfer it to their own world?"]
[Your idea is very bold. Shen Yang gasped in surprise after hearing it.]
["If such a thing can be done, the Dragon - Human Realm will be extremely terrifying."]
[It would be extremely terrifying indeed.]
[Just from the previous simulation, you know that the Dragon Race can fight against four Void Realms at the same time!]
[Since there are people fighting outside, there must also be people defending at home.
Their real strength is immeasurable.]
[You thought it better not to mention this intelligence for now, lest the Human Realm lose confidence in resisting the enemy and be defeated before the battle even begins.]
["By the way, Brother Shen, I heard from Senior Hua that many worlds are launching boundary wars. Do you know the reason? It can't be that every world has come up with a way to transfer Mortal Qi, right?"]
[Shen Yang hesitated a bit, as if not knowing whether he should say it or not.]
["This matter may also be related to our family's response to the invasion of the Dragon Race. It's of great importance!"]
["The Chinese Succubus" exerted its power again.]
["It's for immortality."]
[Shen Qingshan, who had been listening by the side, felt as if he was being hit by wave after wave of the sea due to the large amount of information.
Of course, he was very puzzled. When on earth had you grown to the extent that you could talk and chat with an ancestor who had lived for 30,000 years.
Now that he heard such explosive news as "immortality", Shen Qingshan couldn't help but exclaim on the spot.]
["Is there really an immortal in this world? Aren't immortals just a legend?"]
[Shen Yang sighed.]
["Immortals are just a legend in the Void Realm, but in the Real Realm, immortality is not so illusory but a chance that can be grasped.
In the Void Realm, like our Human Realm, no matter how talented you are and how many opportunities and resources you have, the Martial God Realm is the limit of all cultivation paths.
But this is not the limit of cultivation.
If you can break through the void and enter the Real Realm.
A much longer path to immortality will be presented in front of you.
However, something seems to be wrong with the Real Realm. All the cultivators who have ascended from our Void Realm cannot become immortals.
So, some powerful cultivators in the Void Realm have started to find another way to bypass the Real Realm and become immortals directly in the Void Realm!
I'm not clear about how winning a boundary war can lead to immortality.
But I vaguely know that so many worlds are launching boundary wars, including the Human Emperor's war against the Demon Realm 30,000 years ago, are all to bypass the Real Realm and become immortals directly!"]
[You seemed to have heard some extraordinary news.]
["Wait... The Human Emperor launched a boundary war against the Demon Realm? Are you mistaken? Wasn't it the Demon Realm that attacked the Human Realm?"]
[Shen Yang gave a bitter smile.]
["At that time, I was a disciple in the Human Emperor's Palace, so I can be sure that it was indeed the Human Emperor who first intended to start the war.
However, the news leaked.
Before the Human Realm was ready, the Demon Emperor actually launched an attack first, catching the Human Emperor off guard.
The Demon Emperor also had a good plan.
He spent a huge price to lead his army to the Human Realm, so that the Human Realm would become the battlefield.
Regardless of the outcome, his Demon Realm's vast territory would not be affected at all."]
[Who said that the Demon Race is stupid?
This Demon Emperor is both decisive and wise!]
[Sure enough, those who can be the masters of a realm are not simple.]
["I didn't expect there to be such a secret..."]
[Everyone thought it was an attack by the demon realm on the human realm, which led to a lose-lose situation between the two powerful races.]
[Unexpectedly, there is still a hidden layer in the real history.]
["I'm very curious. Why didn't the Human Emperor pick the easy targets first, adopt the strategy of befriending distant states while attacking the neighboring ones, and ally with the demon race to attack other races first?"]

uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.

he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
