My Bottle Cosmos-Chapter 697 - 642 The Essence of Life

"The next Divine King, huh? That's unnecessary." Nokron bluntly rejected the request.

"Why? Why!?" There was a sudden look of excitement in Geb's eyes. To him, Nokron's succession was also part of "destiny."

Senior Dream Garment had already woven the most perfect future.

After all, by coincidence of rebirth, they just happened to return to hand over their twilight years.

"What can I change by becoming the Divine King?" Nokron retorted.

"This..." Geb hesitated a few times, opening his lips, but ultimately couldn't say a word.

Indeed.

The lifespan of the current era is limited. Being a Divine King, living for thousands of years, or not being one, it's still thousands of years...

The Divine King seat of the era is not essential to Nokron.

No one can have longevity now.

"But! But!!?" The old Geb became agitated. "Don't go! I can't trust any of the new generation Divine Kings. I'm afraid of their tyranny in old age, seeking longevity...."

"Mansion Lord!" Tang Xia also showed a pained expression.

Li Qing finally descended from the Ancient Tree, returning once more to the mountains and rivers of the Origin Continent.

Once Li Qing had descended, within less than half a day, a strong death aura suddenly emanated from the Origin Ancient Tree behind him. Divine King Geb had already left.

On the tree, Divine King Tang Xia, who was also nearing the end of his life, was officiating the funeral and the handing over to the new generation.

Numerous Ancient Gods began to surge in from all directions across the continent, praying under the tree. The entire continent was suddenly in a tumult.

The news of Divine King Geb quickly spread.

After his fall, he became the second Ferryman.

Someone said, "The Inspection Bureau truly is an organization of talents from days of old, all inheriting the responsibility of clearing the Multi-Dimensional World!"

Someone said, "That organization's Mansion Lord, Nokron, has returned. I seem to see his shadow on the tree, bidding farewell to his subordinates of the past!"

Someone refuted, "How could that be? If he truly returned, then he would be the next Divine King. Who in this Cosmos is more qualified than this historical myth? Yet the news hasn't been announced, proving that this one hasn't returned."

People were discussing the next Divine King.

Some even maliciously speculated when another Divine King should die and when their era would arrive.

...

After bidding farewell to the two old friends of yesteryear, Li Qing continued to walk outward.

Speaking of which.

Now is no different from the initial Three-Bedroom-One-Hall Sand Table World.

In that era, too, one by one, the era's heroes aged, entering their twilight years. He would occasionally descend to send them off. Though he was learned, he still cared for them in their old age, fulfilling their last wishes...

And afterwards, the era rapidly progressed, the strong in the Divine Upper civilizations achieved immortality, and the concept of dying of old age gradually disappeared.

But now?

It's just returning to the initial beginning, with the era's heroes once again facing aging and death.

"Perhaps it's the inevitable law of the era, the cycle of birth, aging, illness, and death."

Li Qing slowly returned to the island where he was previously secluded, "Even I have been assimilated by the Celestial Humans, starting to gradually age."

"This is no different from before; it's the iron law of the Cosmos."

"What is the essence of human aging?"

Li Qing suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment in his heart.

"On Earth, human aging and death are fundamentally the aging of the body and consciousness. And how does consciousness become exhausted?"

"Year after year, the human brain is bombarded with vast amounts of life information, constantly processing it, and ultimately reaching exhaustion."

"How is this any different from the current Ancient Gods? It too is a universe-level amount of information, fundamentally the same process of soul exhaustion."

It's not the curse of the Cosmos!

It is also a depletion of life.

The essence is no different from the aging of mortals.

It's just that this Cosmos life is too strong! With a large brain capacity and vast amounts of Cosmos information to process, they too will die of old age!

"A natural phenomenon that no one in the Cosmos can escape."

Li Qing pondered continuously about the essence of life, suddenly gaining a slight epiphany, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes.

"You can only say that the era's life version is outdated, so the brain cannot handle the amount of information.... That's why they age so quickly. I need to update the version of life." Like playing a game. The environment is set up, but the species can't keep up...

He kept pondering, feeling as if he was touching upon the next life Authority!

Once he comprehends it, concerning the information-handling Authority of life, the era of longevity will open a corner.

After bidding farewell to Geb, Li Qing returned to his cave dwelling to cultivate, occasionally watching the two maidservants outside silently researching their Authority.

Seeing Minshan's departure again, and the old age and death of the two Divine Kings, their endings might also be his future end, he too would die in an era, following in their footsteps.

Can I really achieve longevity?

He felt a slight lament in his heart.

And the only means is to extend life, keep extending, keep extending, until an era of eternal life comes.

So he needed these guinea pigs to pave the way for him, to die ahead of the era.

In the end, every era must have heroes and sages pass away.

Another three years passed.

The entire Origin Continent was in turmoil, with countless new generations trying to seize power. Sylph and Sylvie's controlled Sea of Serenity also gained a small reputation in the nearby areas.

The nearby Ancient Gods all knew there were two formidable female Ancient Gods in that area.

Further away.

An organization gradually rose to fame, called Umbrella Corporation, claiming to be the spiritual successor of the "Power Council" of the Cosmic Nature Protection Association.

They are the huge umbrella protecting the cosmos, maintaining peace.

Although there are many forces claiming to inherit the various powers of the two prehistoric organizations, the other party also conducted business quietly and low-key, but people gradually noticed. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

People only knew their leader was named Wadon, a cunning businessman who recently sold a special kind of World Capsule.

This capsule has a very magical effect.

Although it cannot allow someone to live a second life, it delays the internal conflict of Authority, granting longevity.

Umbrella Corporation gradually caught the attention of the world.

During this time, Li Qing had been continuously researching new life map Authority, feeling like he had some clues.

"The previous few life maps were almost all completed with the help of others, conducting research."

"But before me, I should also research one myself."

Li Qing kept pondering.

"I also have two libraries, automatically collecting books and organizing them, updating the library's inventory every few seconds. Logging in for a few seconds occasionally also greatly benefits."

With the two great libraries of the cosmos in hand, this scientist has access to any information he desires, going boldly to check.

This treatment, probably no one else has it!

Over the years, he remained in seclusion, occasionally acting as a troll to vent emotions when tired from research.

Anyway, no one knew his alias, so the atmosphere between the two organizations grew ever more tense, using the lower realms as battlegrounds, frantically recruiting.

Finally, Li Qing perfected the next branch of the life map.
