Chapter 6083: Living Too Long Isnât Great
âIâm afraid I donât have much time left. Enigma requires everyoneâs support in the future.â Endlaw sighed and told Six-style.
âYou worry too much, you can still live for another ten thousand years or longer.â Six-style shook her head.
âAs far as I can tell, it is coming much sooner.â He disagreed.
Although cultivation was often an indicator of lifespan, it didnât always apply perfectly. Some emperors or desolate gods could live longer than primal ancestors and heaven-slayers. Alas, none could live forever.
Power didnât matter in the face of death. Past mental preparation seemed insufficient. These beings have fought on the battlefield and werenât afraid of death.
However, running out of lifespan was different than dying in battle. Fear surfaced and they tried to avoid it by all means necessary. One of the methods could be found in the major ghost market.
The old woman earlier was a prime example. Her past was filled with divinity and glory. Now, she became an abomination living a borrowed life. Endlaw might also fall to this degeneracy in due time.
âThe fear of death only increases with age, I am definitely not prepared for it. How shameful.â He sighed.
âIt happens to all.â She sympathized because although she didnât fear death now, this might change with age.
âYoung Noble, the dynasty will need your assistance.â He kneeled before Li Qiye.
âI am just a passerby.â Li Qiye smiled and shook his head.
Endlaw glanced at Enigma Loops on Li Qiyeâs wrist and didnât believe him.
âI am not your Hidden Ancestor.â Li Qiye repeated.
âEven if you arenât Hidden Ancestor, you must have deep ties with our dynasty since you have the loops.â Endlaw said.
âVery easy.â Li Qiye smiled and conjured a thought in his mind: âCome.â
âPoof!â A fog appeared before them.
âSigh, just a bit more and I would have caught him.â Fog Emissary complained.
âAs if you can get him to talk.â Li Qiye said.
âWell, thatâs true.â He agreed.
âThen whatâs the point in catching him?â Li Qiye said.
âHe must know so many things.â He still didnât want to give up.
âArenât you the most knowledgeable here?â Li Qiye smirked.
âSir, I do know the ghost market like the back of my hand, but certain things still elude me.â He said.
âSuch as your past?â Li Qiye said.
âYes, I donât remember anything about my past life.â He said.
âAnd thatâs why youâre looking for karma through me.â Li Qiye said.
âIntuition tells me that we are related.â He told the truth.
âAll that boasting for nothing, we wasted one hundred million coins on you.â Six-style interjected.
âAh... itâs not that serious.â He smiled awkwardly.
