Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

Chapter 959: Success (1)
Editor: Henyee Translations

Several days later, a silver-haired man arrived at the attic. It was the only remaining nine-star Luminarist of the Northern Ice Plains among the seven countries in the world. The fragrance of tea filled the air. The two of them sat opposite each other.

The silver-haired man drank it all in one gulp and said softly, “Since the Yun Nation can become an overlord country, I guessed that there might be one with a talent for the Longevity Lamp. I didn’t expect Brother Shen to break through the barrier so quickly and become a nine-star. This is both a good and a bad thing.”

Shen Ping smiled and refilled the silver-haired man’s cup of tea. “I’d like to hear the details.”

The silver-haired man leisurely said, “Every thousand years, a nine-star Luminarist will appear in the seven kingdoms of the world. Over the countless years, the number of nine-star Luminarists accumulated is close to a hundred. Meanwhile, nine-star Luminarists have a long lifespan and are extremely powerful. It is extremely difficult for them to die, but now, I am the only one left. Now, there is also you. More than a hundred years ago, there were still two.”

Shen Ping’s expression did not change. He continued to listen.

“At the nine-star level, Brother Shen should understand that all living beings in the world are destined. When they are born, their future is destined. It’s the same for you and me, nine-star Luminarists. Although we have a long lifespan, if there are too many that live, it will cause a huge burden on the world. Therefore, after nine-star Luminarists are born, it’s very difficult to live for more than a thousand years.”

The silver-haired man looked at Shen Ping. “A thousand years is the limit of a nine-star Luminarist. No matter what methods you have, when you reach a thousand years, even if there is no Valley of Night, you will still die in various inexplicable and ingenious ways.”

Shen Ping narrowed his eyes. He was not sure about this. He had originally thought that everything was pushed by the people from the Valley of the Night. He did not expect that in the end, it was actually the fate of this world.

The silver-haired man stood up and let out a long sigh. “Heaven and earth bestowed nine-star Luminarists with unparalleled strength, but it was difficult to tolerate them living in this world. They were only given a temporary peak, like a flash in the pan.

“So when facing that person from the Valley of the Night, whether it was the nine-star Luminarists or me, neither of us had any intention of resisting. Instead of being forced by the heavens and earth with various methods, it was better to die peacefully at the hands of someone of the same level.

“I came here today not only to tell you this, but also to see what’s so special about someone who advanced to the nine-star level so quickly.”

Shen Ping could not help but ask curiously, “If I don’t die in the hands of that person in the Valley of the Night, what will the world do a thousand years later? We nine stars are closely related to the world. If they force us too much, isn’t the world afraid that we will annihilate all living beings?”

The silver-haired man shook his head. “In the past, there were also people who went crazy and slaughtered more than a million ordinary people. However, the nine Life Lamps in his body suddenly exploded and he died from the backlash. In the future, as long as the Luminarist slaughtered more than a hundred thousand people, the Life Lamps in his body would become violent.”

Shen Ping was enlightened. So that was how it was. No wonder every powerful Luminarist would not easily participate in the war between countries. Instead, they would push and guide them from behind.

“If the heavens let you die, it would be too easy. Even though we nine stars are powerful, we still rise from the heavens and earth! In another hundred years, my time will come. At that time, I will personally go to the Valley of the Night. This is also the reason why I have been able to live until now. Those who are unwilling will live even shorter.” After saying that, the silver-haired man left.

Watching him leave, Shen Ping was speechless. Initially, he was very curious as to why there was only one nine-star left among the seven countries in the world. Even if the one in the Valley of the Night was the final destination of every nine-star, it was unlikely that every nine-star would lose in the battle. Even so, if the nine-star Luminarists joined forces, they should have the upper hand.

From the looks of it, it’s not that he can’t win, but it’s meaningless. Even if he won, once the 1,000-year limit was up, he would still die. It was a pity. He was not one of those nine-star Luminarists. Moreover, he did not need a thousand years. As long as his Power of Fate reached 10%, he would directly leave this world.

“The most important thing to me is fate. As for what the man in the Valley of the Night wants, it has nothing to do with me.” Thinking of this, Shen Ping continued to work hard. As long as the other party did not provoke him, he would not take the initiative to cause trouble for him.

In the blink of an eye, another hundred years passed. He was only two-tenths of a thousandth away from mastering fate. He estimated that he would be able to complete it in 50 years.

He looked at the tired Yang Yimo. Shen Ping hugged her in his arms and doted on her. His wife had indeed suffered all these years. There was no choice. Even if the iron pestle was really ground into a needle, it could not stop.

Suddenly, an enormous formless energy appeared in the world. He subconsciously looked up at the Valley of the Night and saw that the aura of the nine-star Luminarist from the Northern Ice Plains had already dissipated.

The seven kingdoms of the world had another baby with the talent of the Longevity Lamp.

Several days later, another unfamiliar man came to the pavilion. He had several bamboo scrolls with him. It was the one from the Valley of the Night. Shen Ping could clearly sense that the other party had energy that far exceeded that of a nine-star Luminarist, but there were indeed only nine Life Lamps in his body.

“A hundred years ago, I wanted to find you, but I changed my mind,” sitting at the tea table, the man said with a smile.

“Oh.” Shen Ping asked, “Why did you change your mind?”

“You’re a variable. If I had really looked for you when you broke through to nine stars, I’m afraid I would have lost in the end, so I was waiting.”

“So now you’re absolutely confident?”

“No.”

“Then why did you come?”

The man shook his head and smiled. “Because I have a feeling that you might leave, leave this world.”
