I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature-Chapter 1996 - 1349: Choice

It’s not difficult for the Blessed Land to become a Land of Calamity; all it takes is the fall of a prosperous dynasty... well, the cost is not insignificant.

As for what happened on Tianyun Mountain back then, apart from the appearance of a Phenomenon, there’s really not much recorded due to how long ago it was.

Even the stories the old man tells the children around him may not be accurate versions, but one thing is certain: Tianyun Mountain did flourish, and that dynasty did exist.

"Go play now, but don’t go too far." The old man reached out to pat the child’s head, indicating that the story was over and he needed to attend to his own matters.

The family invited this old man, nearly at the end of his days, not only because there are ways to extend life here, but also to ask him to come out of retirement and speed up the Qingtian Continent’s mastery of a new Power System.

The knowledge brought by the Tianhe people is not easy to grasp; it’s vast and profound, but using it is very difficult, and some have paid a heavy price for being too greedy and hasty.

Those who survived managed alright, as the Tianhe people who came resolved the issues effortlessly.

For the dead, they expressed that they couldn’t communicate with this World’s ’Hell’; those skilled in Necromancy are not here, so the dead cannot be revived.

Although they only expressed regret, the information conveyed was particularly intriguing.

Isn’t their way of speaking about it already a genuine resurrection in the truest sense?

The concept of Hell exists here on Qingtian Continent too, but no one knows its specifics. Even those who have researched Death-related Spells haven’t found traces of such legendary places.

The most they can do is perform a Soul Capture, but this has to be done either at the moment of death or the soul must be strong enough to linger for a long time.

And for those who, out of greed and haste, researched Tianhe knowledge, even if some souls are not weak, the backlash from the Strength brought by that knowledge prevents their souls from being preserved normally...

"School." Looking at the slightly rudimentary school, which is actually related to the Tianhe people, the old man suppressed his inner turmoil and walked in with large strides.

The atmosphere inside was incredibly strong, and the old man even saw old friends he hadn’t seen in over a century.

The other person also felt quite sentimental upon seeing the old man. They were all almost at the end of their lives, with their lifespans reaching the limits in every aspect, and even the Medicine God could not extend their lifespans further.

And now...

The old man saw a young girl with white hair and red eyes, who was looking down at something, probably a ’phone’.

Occasionally, someone would come to her with questions, and the white-haired girl could quickly provide answers.

The old man, noticing this, didn’t approach immediately but sought further understanding of the situation from his old friend, learning about some of the ’patterns’ here.

Here, there is a lot of knowledge available for reference. This knowledge has been improved upon by the Tianhe people, but to what extent it can be utilized still requires them to try themselves.

Physical conditions vary between people; knowledge that suits some may not suit another, and this is quite common over on Tianhe.

The old man understood this, acknowledging it as he approached the public bookshelf and took a book to read carefully, but after just reading the beginning, he put it back.

From the notes in this book, its Cultivation method does not suit him.

He didn’t intend to satisfy his curiosity by flipping through too much. His old friend had made it very clear that although this knowledge is public, its source is Tianhe.

If understood too much all at once, it would instead greatly interfere with them. On the contrary, if they find what suits them or something they are good at from the start, it would make learning and mastering it more stable.

The books on the shelves are comprehensive, and the old man soon found what he wanted.

"Found something suitable? Then go to that person, your current physical state can’t endure too much exertion, right?" the old man’s old friend said to him with a smile.

Eating peaches is something almost everyone who comes here has done; even if peaches can optimize their physique, for beings at their level, the effect is not significant.

To break the shackles of lifespan, one still needs significant self-improvement. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

As for the books found here, young people need assistance, and even though they are old, they aren’t senile. If they can’t accomplish even this step, the Tianhe people wouldn’t consider bringing these old folks here.

"Alright." The old man calmly walked towards Tanshia Firlo. He had lived long enough and had seen through many things.

If he cannot break the shackles of lifespan on this outing, he doesn’t plan to return.

He would find a place here to gather strength, then wait for the new war to come, and finally fight with everything he has. Such a death is preferable to slowly decaying away.

"You’re new here, huh? Hmm, your body isn’t bad." Tanshia Firlo glanced at the old man. As a Life type expert, she could directly assess his physical condition.

From the traces left on his physique, it could be seen that this old man was quite formidable in his youth. He accumulated a lot of hidden injuries, but he is still alive today, indicating that his longevity gene was excellent.

Although many of those hidden injuries were healed, the Qingtian Continent’s level of Strength is such that what they consider fully healed still falls short in the eyes of the Tianhe people.
