Chapter 638 Stay Hungry

"This world is far more dangerous and complex than it appears on the surface. Above ordinary people, there are special ones, then there are strong ones, there are ferrymen, there are gods above, and then there are transcendent ones." Serena met Zhao After Mai, she became in a good mood, invited the two of them to sit down in her living room, poured the wine with her own hands, and then used magic to conjure a high-backed throne, sitting opposite the two of them.

"I have seen many things, many of which even existed before the gods appeared. Don't be so surprised. My actual age is about 10,000 years old. At that time, there was far no history, writing and belief. It was completely a piece of cake. Savage.”

"How do you maintain yourself and ensure that you don't go crazy because of immortality?" Zhao Mai finally found such a person and asked quickly.

"Ha, it seems that you think a lot, much better than this wild wolf." Serena said: "My method is very simple. Every time I absorb the life span from another person, I will also absorb that person's soul. They all live in my spirit, and new ideas are constantly being generated, so I am always young. I have a whole world inside me!"

"From the oldest to the newest, are their souls alive?"

"Of course not, how is that possible! My mother's soul will disappear, what qualifications do other people have to live forever?" Serena snorted: "I am the only one who can live forever, and all the power and knowledge are also mine."

Serena looked at Zhao Mai, and the scene became very quiet. "Why, you don't criticize me for being evil and dark?"

"You are a person from ten thousand years ago. If I use today's standards to evaluate your ten thousand years, it would be unfair. And you just said that you are trading lifespan and other resources with me. I still don’t know how the deal is negotiated, and what will happen to you if the negotiation fails - I don’t know any of this - but at least you have this idea. There may have been tribal cooperation ten thousand years ago, but for outsiders and outsiders It is just to defend and snatch things, right? Besides, I still want to discuss business with you, and I am not here to criticize you."

"Thank you, you are a considerate man." Serena smiled sweetly and leaned down close to Zhao Mai, "Ten thousand years... I don't have much memory of that period. What I remember most is hunger. You two Everyone has the foundation of eternal life. My suggestion is that if you don’t want to go crazy, you must remember the feeling of hunger!”

"I'm working hard..." Zhao Mai nodded. Logan snorted softly.

"Maybe that way, we can become long-term friends - it's really annoying to have an enemy who can also live forever." Serena's eyes twitched, as if she remembered some bad memory. “Especially since entering the new century (20th century), more and more people have emerged, and many things have become interesting. This will be a turbulent world, and there are a lot of good opportunities for people to grow, but staying still The Continental Hotel is the best choice.”

"Why do you say that?"

"There is only one place left for the strongest person in this world. When it develops to this point, it is often the most chaotic. The last supper, the last golden apple, the last dusk. Those who fail in the competition have left the original world, but Now she is ready to come back." Serena laughed to herself, and after a while she stopped and said: "You are so young and so motivated, did you hear something and come to me to inquire about the details? "

"Yes, that's indeed what happened." Zhao Mai admitted openly, and then talked about Grindelwald's Golden Compass. "He mentioned a few words, passes and competitions. It is said that the prize is a world?"

"Ha, he also knows a little about it. The so-called world is just the control of access to a different world, and it is not directly the king and hegemony. It is very valuable to some people, but it has no meaning to people like me. I The last thing I want to go to is the parallel world. In this world or that world, it has no effect on my power, but in the parallel world, what should I do if I meet myself? Did she absorb me or did I absorb her? It seems that it doesn't matter. not so good."

"Uh... This is indeed very troublesome, but can you only be in the parallel world of Earth?"

"I'm not a ferryman. I need people to go to other worlds. Besides, there are other gods under the rules of other worlds, and I may not be able to adapt to them." Serena said: "A new world has appeared recently, and there are many Everyone is fighting. In order to prevent their world from becoming a chaotic battlefield, the gods of that world throw out a bait to concentrate the disputes and calm them down at once. A magic ring that records the rules of that world contains power that can at least Making people become gods - this is the bait. But this kind of competition is useless. On the one hand, the number of participants is limited, and on the other hand, we can only compete with the power of local rules. In this world, I can absorb the lives of others, but in that world Maybe it won't work, and it is very likely that this will lead to my death. So the people who actually participated in the end were basically guys who were neither high nor low, as well as those who were full of ambition and self-confidence. The Golden Compass is worth a lot of money , but it’s not impossible to get. But the fundamental question is: What kind of person are you and why are you going?”

Zhao Mai was asked, and he thought about it calmly and carefully. If it's just to cause trouble for Grindelwald, this journey is definitely not worth it. And become a god? The goal was of little value to him either. If he really wants to participate, then Zhao Mai's only goal can only be the ultimate secret of the origin-level world: how to become a transcendent. A license to a parallel world? What would happen if that world itself was an origin-level world?

Ilúvatar hid the origin world, but was still under the attention of everyone in the Ring Alliance, so he had to sleep, trapped in that world like a prisoner. If we can use this reward to add another layer of protection, can Ilúvatar be made safer and the world of origin be "awakened"? This is a good idea.

The relationship between Zhao Mai and Ilúvatar is going well. If they can get to that point, under the protection of the will of the world, they will have a real home. Zhao Mai was rejected by the local gods in Golarion, but not in Arda. He himself was the god of that world! Serena was still worried about the local gods, but Zhao Mai had no such worries. In this light, the right to manage the boundaries of a world is valuable.

"Just think that I am an ambitious person and very vindictive." Zhao Mai made a decision and said to Serena: "Can you find the Golden Compass for me? What are the conditions?"
