Chapter 818 Eternal Life and Descendants!

What is the existence form of the Nightmare Lord?

Lu En has actually been thinking about this question for a long time, because except for the time when he just entered this world and was sealed by the Nightmare Lord's power together with the Scarlet Lord, he could not find any clues about the Nightmare Lord or its young at other times.

This is undoubtedly extremely abnormal, because this area is clearly the hatchery of the Star Lord, but Lu En could not find any clues about the young that needed the most nutrition and was the most vulnerable from the real world to the Skynet space.

Of course, if this is the case, it can also be considered that the Nightmare Lord's power level is higher than Lu En, so he can't see through the other party's arrangement. However, what makes Lu En feel even more weird is that after the ancients captured by the Nightmare Lord and used as nutrients fell, the final beneficiaries would be just a few ordinary people?

Several humans in the real world ascended to heaven in one step, inherited the authority and power of the ancients, and then jumped to the existence of the master level. This change made Lu En unable to figure it out no matter what, and it can even be said that he was puzzled.

Because according to the general situation, the biggest beneficiary of the Nightmare Lord's arrangement of the starry sky hatchery should be the Nightmare Lord's young body. No matter what, it is not the turn of a few ordinary people, and it will take hundreds of years at once, just as if the purpose of the Nightmare Lord to capture the ancients is for them.

Then according to the inference that whoever benefits in the end is the Nightmare Lord's young body, Lu En came to an absurd answer, that is, the Nightmare Lord's young body = the master of Skynet space.

Of course, leaving this aside, another question worth Lu En's deep thought is: Does the Nightmare Lord really have a so-called young body?

From the perspective of genes and biology, the generation of a life descendant is ultimately to pass on its own life factor and occupy a dominant position in the group. Therefore, any male creature will have a strong desire to possess the same female.

If this social habit is analyzed more deeply, it will be known that the reason for this instinct is that no individual life can survive forever in the world, so it needs to use descendants to continue its existence and let its life factor spread forever.

Therefore, if we change to another perspective, a life form that has great power, and even this power is enough to maintain its "eternal life", does it still need to reproduce?

Descendants are the continuation of one's own life, but if a life is immortal, then why is it necessary to consume power to produce its own descendants?

It should be known that ordinary creatures need to pay a huge price to reproduce, including a huge amount of time and nutrition, and will bear a certain degree of risk because of this behavior. The stronger the existence, the greater the price it will pay to reproduce.

This is a truth that is common in the universe, and the reason is very simple. If the reproduction ability of the strong is the same as that of the weak, then what living space can the weak have?

For beings like the Ancients or the Nightmare Lords, if they want to reproduce, it will also involve more specific authority issues. That is to say, in order to keep their offspring strong, they must actively split their authority, otherwise the offspring they give birth to will be weak, and then the act of reproducing offspring will have no value.

For a more specific situation, we can refer to the relationship between Lu En and the Lord of Scarlet, because in a sense, Lu En also experienced the larval stage of the Ancient One, and can be regarded as a descendant of the Lord of Scarlet.

The final result is that the Lord of Scarlet will not care about anything and will maintain the integrity of his authority at all costs. He chased Lu En to the point of ecstasy, and finally had to take a risk, which led to his current situation.

It is precisely because of this understanding that Lu En has always been skeptical about the Nightmare Lord's reproduction of offspring. First, he can't find any reason to do so, and second, he doesn't believe that the "motherly love" for a descendant who does not yet exist can surpass the desire for the integrity of authority.

The so-called "divinity" is the part of self, transcendence, and rationality that remains after abandoning biological, social, and even instinctive nature.

Of course, before meeting the Lord of Mist, Lu En's above-mentioned conjectures were originally just some groundless speculations buried in his heart, without any supporting evidence. After all, without the right to investigate, there is no right to speak. Who knows the life form, will and thinking of the Nightmare Lord?

Summer insects cannot talk about ice, and Lu En could not infer the various behaviors and purposes of the Nightmare Lord based on speculation.

Not long ago, after he obtained more detailed intelligence and information from the Lord of Mist, some long-standing questions and puzzles in Lu En's heart were gradually answered.

Pitter-patter.

The Flame Lord, who was crushed into pieces by the huge hand of light, completely turned into a group of power and authority. Lu En did not kill him, because only Skynet could decide the life and death of these Lords, but at this time, with its fragile human will, it was impossible to control the power of the riot.

On the contrary, under the hand of light, the floating Styk had a sharp look in his eyes, and the power of the Flame Lord on his head turned into strands of liquid, which quickly drilled into every pore on his body, causing his skin to immediately become dark red and rough, covered with cracks.

"You want to turn an ordinary person into a master, do you think you are Skynet?"

In the black hole beside, the sealed Origin Master saw what Lu En did, and immediately felt sad for the other, and couldn't help but mocked.

"Is that all you can see?"

Suddenly, Stucker, whose whole body was already burning, turned his head, his eyes had turned into two balls of deep blue fire cores, and his tone was still calm and peaceful: "Of course, this can't be blamed on you. In your eyes, you can only see the existence of Skynet, so you will think that all this is the power of Skynet. This is not because of ignorance, but because of incompetence."

Incompetence means lack of ability. Of course, expecting a master who has ascended to heaven in one step to have the real power and will is itself a demanding requirement, so Lu En did not mock, but just calmly narrated a fact.

From this point of view, the Forgotten Master is indeed an outlier among the masters, because to some extent, he already has the will to match the power of the master, so He is the first to fall.

The wind starts from the tip of the green reed. On the eve of the storm, the first to die and the last to survive are often the strong among the crowd. As for the weak, they just go with the flow and in the end they can survive in a daze.
