Chapter 527 Ao Hai's Shock

"Old thing." Di Chang'an crossed his arms and said to Shou Zu, "I thought you didn't have much time left. I was afraid of tiring you out even when I asked you to play chess..."

Shouzu was one of the few people who lived in the same era as Emperor He in Chang'an.

As for other people, even Ye Yan and Ao Hai, there is a generation gap between them, and it is quite a big one.

Shou Zu and Di Chang'an have known each other for more than a thousand years. To Di Chang'an, this is an old friend who is not a relative but is better than a relative. Originally, when Shou Zu said that his life was coming to an end, he was very sad, but he also felt a little relieved.

On the road to the underworld, he will not be alone if he has an old friend to accompany him.

Over the years, he had asked his own personal physician to take care of Shouzu's health, and had used many rare treasures in the hope of prolonging his life as much as possible.

And a few days ago, when Di Chang'an heard that he had the opportunity to break through and surpass the myth and extend his life by fifty years, he was still worried in his heart whether Shou Zu would die before him.

Now it seems that it was all just my own wishful thinking.

This old guy didn't tell me the truth from the beginning!
For some reason, Di Changan felt like he had been let down.

He takes such good care of him that he doesn't even dare to let him do heavy work!
After learning that Shou Zu still had a lot of life left, Di Chang'an had secretly decided that he would definitely give this old guy more things to do in order to comfort his wasted feelings.

Obviously, from Di Changan's expression, Shouzu knew his future fate.

Suddenly, his whole face fell and he let out a long sigh.

Spicy balls.

There is no way to slack off!

And based on his understanding of Di Changan, it would be absolutely unsafe to take on the job he asked him to do.

Alas...how could this happen?

With a long sigh, Shouzu put his head on the table, but did not refuse.

For a thousand years, Di Changan has indeed been his best friend.

The reason why he did not reveal his lifespan at the beginning was to be cautious, to avoid being caught by Di Changan and made into soup, and also to leave himself a way out.

But after spending a long time together, he already knew that Di Changan would definitely not do this, and it didn't matter whether the secret was hidden or not... But he also knew in his heart that if he let him know that he had plenty of time to live, troubles would surely come one after another.

He couldn't refuse. Now the entire Tianmen was populated by humans. What could he do?

So I'd better hide it... Although Ye Yan is a good guy, I'm not as familiar with him as I am with Di Changan. Maybe after Di Changan leaves, Ye Yan and the association will control me the same way they control Ao Hai.

So, after Di Chang'an died, he would fake his death and run away.

But I didn't expect that I would be exposed in this place!

Who would have known that an acquaintance from more than two thousand years ago would suddenly appear out of nowhere.

No, aunt, you are really my aunt. It’s great that we can meet again after more than two thousand years!
Glancing at Yu Cang who looked somewhat bewildered, Shou Zu sighed again.

Although his affairs were exposed because of Yu Cang, he did not mean to blame Yu Cang.

Anyway, in Shou Zu's original plan, he would definitely let Di Chang'an know about this matter before he died, and then try his magical powers to see if he could save Di Chang'an... Now that Di Chang'an's death is approaching, the time difference of such a few days does not make much difference.

Shou Zu didn't know that Emperor Chang'an was going to surpass the myth. He only knew that in his perception, Emperor Chang'an didn't have many days left to live.

Mythical magical powers must have a terrifying number of derivative abilities, and the perception of lifespan is what Shou Zu is good at.

If he wanted to, he could also extend the life of others, but that would hurt his own vitality, and he was not sure whether it would work on a legendary figure like Di Changan... According to common sense, if he extended Di Changan's life, there was an 80% chance that he would not survive.

For the sake of their thousand-year friendship, he would give it a try before Di Chang'an died, without sacrificing himself. If it works, it would be fine, but if it doesn't, there's nothing he can do... Anyway, he would definitely not sacrifice himself for others, no matter what, he must stay alive... I'm sure Di Chang'an would understand him.

It doesn't matter if he is exposed now. It just so happens that he heard two days ago that Di Changan was going to go out and fight with others while he didn't have much time left, and he was struggling on how to persuade him.

Normally when he reaches the end of his life, Shouzu can still try hard, but if he is beaten to death, he will have no other choice.

Now that things have been made clear, he might as well say it.

Thinking of this, Shou Zu adjusted his expression and raised his head:
"Changan... We have known each other for so many years, you should know who I am."

"Of course I know." Di Changan rolled his eyes. "You are a coward, afraid of death. Asking you to come down from the 25th floor is the same as asking you to die."

Shou Zu was unhappy when he heard the tone in Di Changan's words. He glared at him and said, "...Is it normal for me to be afraid of death? Hey, you should understand that it is the instinct of living things to seek benefits and avoid harm. It is abnormal for someone like you who is not afraid of death!"

Di Changan narrowed his eyes and said, "You are a myth with infinite lifespan. What is there to be afraid of death for?"

"Don't worry about it!" Shou Zu crossed his arms in front of him. "Now that everything has been said, I won't hide anything. Chang'an, cancel the fight you promised. I still have a chance to try to give you some life. If you are seriously injured or even beaten to death, there is nothing I can do."

Emperor Changan was happy: "Thank you for still remembering me."

"Why? Just tell me whether you want this life or not."

Shou Zu raised his head, snorted, and once again summoned up his mythical aura in front of Di Chang'an, as if he had him in control.

Just as Di Changan knew him well, he also knew Di Changan well.

Shou Zu values ​​his own life, while Di Chang'an values ​​Yan State. This is their bottom line, and no conditions will allow them to give up this bottom line.

Although the layout seems different, in Shouzu's eyes they are almost the same.

In Shou Zu's eyes, after Di Chang'an woke up, he was eager to go out and fight, just because he wanted to do more for Yan State.

In fact, he was also a little puzzled, because in his perception, Di Changan could still stay for a while and there was no need to be so anxious.

But it has come to this, and there is no point in saying these things anymore. He believes that when he says that he has a way to prolong his life, Di Changan will definitely not be able to refuse.

Shouzu raised his head, the panic he had just felt after being exposed gone.

On the contrary, he wanted to see Di Changan talking to him nicely in order to prolong his life!
Come on, stop pretending, everyone knows each other, stop being so useless! Beg me!

However... facing Shou Zu's complacent look, Di Chang'an was quite calm. Not only did he not show Shou Zu's expectant look, but he laughed out loud.

Guixiang, who was standing by, took out a bag of strange-tasting beans from somewhere and started eating them with a crunch.

Seeing that Emperor Chang'an was so confident, Shouzu began to feel guilty again.

This is?

"Longevity, Ancestor." Di Chang'an smiled, "How much life can you add to me?"

"Well... we'll know only after we try it."

"You are weaker than me. Even if you can add, it will hurt your foundation. Would you be willing to do such a thing?"

"Who are you looking down on?" Shou Zu slammed the table, "As long as you don't kill me, I can still afford this little bit of life!"

"Alright." Di Changan waved his hand. "Tell me honestly, do you just not want to fight with me?"

Shouzu: “…”

"Ok?"

"That's part of the reason."

Shou Zu almost gritted out these words through his teeth, "But can you blame me for this? You've found so many myths to join the battle. I can tell with my tortoise shell that it's definitely not a safe job! I don't want to lose my life with you!" His idea was very simple. He would try his best to help Di Changan prolong his life. If he succeeded, Di Changan would definitely give up the risk and retain his strength. If he failed... when his time was up, he would not have the energy to bother with all this.

perfect.

However, Di Changan's reaction was completely different from what Shou Zu expected.

He just looked at me with a half-smile, as if... he had nothing to fear?
Now, Shouzu was unsure.

"What's that expression on your face... In a war of gods of this magnitude, you will definitely die in your current state! Di Changan, you will definitely accept my proposal, right?"

“Heh.” Di Chang’an shook his head and smiled, “Shou Zu, I’m very sad that you actually thought I would take you to die.”

Shouzu: “…”

"We have known each other for more than a thousand years. Have you ever seen me do something I am not sure of?" Di Changan leaned on the table and moved closer to Shou Zu. "Shou Zu... What if I say that I can win this battle and survive?"

Shouzu's eyes widened: "How is this possible!"

Although Shou Zu was not very clear about who Di Changan was going to attack, he could guess a little.

As far as he knew, Di Changan had visited quite a few myths some time ago for this battle and invited them to fight together... He couldn't even imagine who would need such a scene to fight.

"Your current physical condition is not suitable for any battle! Even a simple attack may bring your death forward!"

"Don't worry." Di Chang'an's expression did not change, "I still have plenty of life left."

Shou Zu frowned and said, "Di Chang'an, it's ok if you lied to others, but you're even lying to me?"

From the perspective of supernatural powers, he may know how long you live better than you do!
"I didn't lie to you." Di Chang'an turned his head slightly and pointed in Yu Cang's direction with his eyes, "Yu Cang has a way to help me break through my current realm, and then... my life will naturally be extended."

Shou Zu stood up all of a sudden, and pointed his claws back and forth between himself and Yu Cang: "Di Changan, you...believe in him, but not me?"

This sounds strange.

Shou Zu admitted that Yu Cang was something.

These days, he has also been secretly observing Yu Cang. This guy has an absurdly high level of understanding and talent, and is surrounded by a bunch of guys whom he can't figure out... but he is just a young man after all.

He has never been to the Mythology realm himself and doesn't know what the Mythology realm means. How can he help to break through?

Seeing that Di Chang'an mentioned himself, Yu Cang touched his head and laughed dryly twice, but did not say anything.

Shou Zu continued, "And even if you can break through, so what? Lifespan won't change much within the myth realm, and your death won't be delayed because of it!"

Di Changan chuckled.

He tapped the table with his slender fingers and looked at Guixiang.

"Who told you that I was only going to break through a small realm within the myth?"

"Didn't you just say..."

Shouzu swallowed the words that came out of his mouth.

He seemed to realize something, and his eyes suddenly turned to Yu Cang. Seeing that he just kept smiling and did not deny it -

“Di Changan, are you crazy or am I crazy?” Shou Zu’s eyes widened. “You are not going to say… to say…”

"That's right." Di Chang'an kept smiling, "I will surpass the realm of mythology and reach unprecedented heights - with the help of Yu Cang."

"..."

Shou Zu didn't know what to say for a moment.

This statement was absolutely beyond his scope of cognition - the realm above mythology only existed in theory, but from the existence of Blue Star to the present, no living being had ever reached that realm.

This is a period of billions of years. If a myth cannot be born in such a terrifying time span, then it can be said that there will probably never be one.

As a result... you said that Yu Cang had a way to break through... and you still believed it?
What's going on?

Shou Zu's gaze lingered on the faces of Di Chang'an, Gui Xiang and Yu Cang respectively, as if he was about to say something.

Finally, he could only look at Ao Hai: "Do you believe it?"

Ao Hai: “…”

Shou Zu turned around and looked at the dusty holy sword that was floating quietly like an ornament: "Do you believe it?"

Aunt: "...That's true."

"You really believe it?" Shou Zu's eyes widened. "No, auntie, I haven't seen you for two thousand years. You...did you get sick from sleeping?"

Aunt: ...

What could she say.

The concentration of myths in this environment made her a little afraid to say anything.

"Okay, Shouzu, stop embarrassing yourself." Di Changan knocked on the table. "Since I've said it, it's a proven fact. There won't be any danger in this battle. You've also seen the soul cards that Yu Cang created. Even if I die, you can't die."

"This..." Shouzu carefully observed Di Changan's expression, trying to find out what was wrong.

But everything is normal, calm and confident.

Could it be... that this is true?
But how is it possible!

Yu Cang has only lived for a few years? How could he accomplish such a feat that no one has accomplished in billions of years?

But if it were true...

Shou Zu looked towards Yu Cang with an uncertain expression.

aside.

Ao Hai lowered his head and looked at the mahjong tiles in his hand.

He was actually not very good at this kind of game, he just played it blindly and couldn't beat Di Changan.

But today, what he heard was...

Ao Hai closed his eyes slightly, trying his best not to let others see his trembling eyes.

Di Changan is a person who never does anything without reason.

Now that he and Shou Zu had said this, what did it mean... was it to put pressure on them? But the spirit beasts were weak, so was there any need to put further pressure on them?

Could it be that... Emperor Changan meant that they also have the potential to... surpass mythology?
The moment he realized this possibility, although Ao Hai was trying hard to control it, his breathing became heavy.

If that's the case...

Then he must get along well with Yu Cang in the next few days... No! He can't go to Yu Cang directly, that won't get any results... Yes, the battle afterwards!
The price of surpassing the myth must be very high. Whether I can achieve it will probably depend on my performance in the next battle...

Ao Hai clenched his fists slightly, and a sense of death arose in his heart.
