Dimension Demon's Chat Group

Chapter 85 Three Choices
When he reappeared, the surroundings had changed into a brightly lit bedroom.

This is the home of Wall Stone, the governor of Ridgepeak City. Volame, Captain Daemon of the Guard, and his family gathered around the bed, looking at old Wall with different expressions.

"Cough cough!"

Old Wal coughed twice, turned around, looked at his worried wife and children beside the bed, and said comfortingly: "Alright, don't worry, isn't Lord Volame still here? Not to mention the Lord... Lord!"

Before he finished speaking, Old Wal saw Lin Yu's figure, exclaimed, struggled to stand up, and wanted to salute Lin Yu.

But before old Wall could stand up, a gentle force pushed him back.

"There is no need for false courtesy."

Lin Yu waved his hand, took a step forward and walked towards the bed.

Damon and his mother next to them did not dare to be negligent and quickly made way for them.

Lin Yu came to the bedside and looked at the flattered old Wall on the bed. With a scan of his mental power, he found that although his body was strong, his internal organs were abnormally aged and diseased.

Realizing this, Lin Yu confirmed his guess again.

However, to be rigorous, he turned his head and looked at Volame next to him.

"what happened?"

"..."

Volame sighed softly, then switched to Chinese, a language no one could understand: "It's not a curse, nor is it a disease. To use the words of your world, old Vol's life is coming to an end!"

It’s really a question of lifespan!

Lin Yu nodded secretly in his heart, but frowned pretentiously on his face.

Volame whispered, "I know you've been conditioning Old Vol, but it's no use. The short lifespan of humans isn't just due to magical radiation..."

Hearing this, Lin Yu was a little surprised: "Have you also studied magic radiation?"

Volame nodded and said self-deprecatingly, "I am also a human being. As a human being, I cannot escape the fear of death."

"During the ten years of my travels north, I've witnessed many deaths and incidents, including the untimely deaths of young warriors and the succumbing to old age."

"I had already prepared for the former, and I have nothing much to say, but the latter moved me deeply at the time."

"Fortunately, I'm still a magician who pursues the truth. Compared to ordinary people who are powerless in the face of death, I can at least struggle a little."

"The relationship between lifespan and magical radiation is the subject I studied when I first developed a fear of death..."

Lin Yu asked: "What's the conclusion?"

Volame shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, the two are only positively correlated, not directly proportional."

Lin Yu nodded, not surprised at all.

Volame continued in a gloomy voice, "There's only a positive correlation between lifespan and magical radiation. This means that even if the magical radiation problem is solved, lifespan can only be slightly extended. We can't achieve immortality like the elves and dwarves."

"Perhaps, the lifespans of various races are part of the world's rules and cannot be changed at all..."

Lin Yu remained silent, glancing at her and said, "Is it possible that you missed something?"

What's missing?
Volame was startled when he heard this.

Lin Yu smiled and said, "Anyway, if there is a way to live forever, you won't refuse it, right?"

of course not!

Who could resist the allure of immortality?
Fu La Mei wanted to answer like this, but because of her understanding of Lin Yu, she frowned and looked at him suspiciously and said, "Why do I feel like you are setting a trap for me?"

Lin Yu said without hiding anything: "Even if it's a trap, it's using Changsheng as bait. Just tell me whether you'll bite the hook or not!"

Volame hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "If you truly find a way to extend human lifespan, I can be your test subject, but I also reserve the right to withdraw midway."

"Then it's settled!"

Lin Yu smiled, then turned around and looked at the confused old Walter and said, "Come with me."

Old Wal came to his senses, and with great effort he rolled down from the bed, saying respectfully, "Yes, Lord!"

Lin Yu turned around and looked at Damon, who looked worried. "From now on, your father will disappear with me for a while. All matters concerning Ridge Peak City will be handed over to you. Is that okay?"

"This...I obey your command!"

"very good."

Lin Yu nodded, waved his right hand, and disappeared into the bedroom with Old Wall.

……

……

The mountains are rolling and the peaks are towering.

The rich magic power was filtered through the barrier and condensed into a purer energy cloud, which wrapped around the mountainside like a veil, immersing everything in a sea of ​​white clouds.

From time to time, a green mountain breeze visible to the naked eye blows above the peaks.

The magical clouds were disturbed by the breeze and slowly dissipated, revealing the towering trees and magnificent palaces below.

The crystal-clear waterfall cascades down like a jade belt, stirring up a magical vortex shrouded in rainbow light.

And around this shimmering vortex is a pool of water sparkling with seven colors.

The three-colored lotus brought back from Tang Gui's world was placed in the center of the seven-colored pool. While absorbing the energy in the pool water, it slowly stretched out the lotus petals that had turned into four colors.

Looking up along the waterfall, one could see a dazzling ocean of light. Countless pure magical energies were swirling and rising within it, gathering and dispersing, emitting a rich white light that illuminated the entire world like daylight.

Standing beside the seven-colored lotus pond and listening to the rushing waterfall beside his ears, Old Wall couldn't help but widen his eyes, looking at everything around him in shock and amazement.

After a while, he finally came back to his senses and said, suppressing his excitement and shock:
"My Lord, this... here..."

"This is my world."

Lin Yu turned around at the poolside and looked at Old Wall calmly.

Hearing this, Old Wall couldn't help but widen his eyes and his whole body trembled with excitement.

"You...you mean, this is a world you created?"

Strictly speaking, this is not the case, but it’s almost there!
Lin Yu did not correct Old Wal's mistake, but simply said: "So far, you are the first person to come here, and the only intelligent life here besides me."

"what?!"

He was the first person to come here?
What an honor it is!

Old Wall's voice trembled with excitement.

But the strange thing was that although he felt flattered, excited and honored, and was also astonished and shocked by the world, he was not shocked by Lin Yu's change of identity.

This is because in old Wall's heart, he has long regarded Lin Yu as a god!
It is not quite accurate to say that he 'regarded' it as something else. It should be said that Old Wal gradually became aware of the lord's secret through various clues over the past ten years.

The most obvious evidence is the unusual holy book in Lin Yu's hand.

As the first citizen to come into contact with Lin Yu, Old Wal was the only one who had seen the holy book.

He didn't actually react much at the time.

It was not until later, as consul, that he received a bishop from the church.

From the other person's words, he finally understood the significance of the Goddess's scriptures, and finally realized how incredible a scripture that was different from the Goddess's teachings was...

Since then, Lin Yu has been able to receive the power of faith from Old Wall from time to time.

This is enough to show that Old Wall had discovered his identity a long time ago, and it is also enough to prove the other party's faith and loyalty.

Therefore, Lin Yu didn't mind exposing anything in front of him, even if it was a world that no one had ever stepped into.

"Just now, in front of Daemon and Volame, there are some things I can't say too much."

Lin Yu looked at Old Walter and whispered, "But now, I won't hide it from you. There's nothing wrong with your body. It's just that the innate Qi in your body is about to be exhausted, and your lifespan will also come to an end..."

The end of life?

Old Wal felt like he was poured with cold water. He finally calmed down from his excitement and stared at Lin Yu in a daze.

"You mean... I'm going to die?"

"Yes."

"..."

Old Walter came back to his senses and said excitedly, "Then after I die, can I stay in your kingdom of God?"

Lin Yu: "..."

You are really not afraid!

"That's it, that's it!"

Old Walter continued excitedly, "No wonder you brought me here. It turns out..."

Lin Yu shook his head and said, "This is my world, not my kingdom of God."

Is there any difference?

Old Wall looked confused.

Lin Yu said calmly: "Since you can't grasp the key point, then I will speak directly."

"First, let me explain the concept of innate Qi. It's an abstract energy that accompanies human birth. You can roughly think of it as lifespan. Once this innate Qi is depleted, even if the body is healthy, death will occur immediately."

"Ordinary people's innate Qi is often obscured by acquired Qi. This is exacerbated by the presence of magic in this world."

"The magical radiation makes it impossible for you to perceive the innate Qi, let alone use it to replenish it..."

At this point, Lin Yu paused, looked at him and said, "You were also a warrior when you were young, so you must have been injured a lot, right?"

"Physical injuries can be healed, but the consumed innate Qi cannot be replaced. This is why many powerful warriors do not have long lifespans."

For example, the brave warrior Xin Meir in later generations, as strong as he was, only lived for a mere eighty years.

Hearing this, Old Wal finally understood what Lin Yu meant, and immediately said flattered:
"You wish to extend the life of your subordinate?"

"This...this...how could this subordinate be so worthy of such honor!"

Lin Yu shook his head and said, "Since I brought you here, it means you are qualified."

"To make a long story short, based on my research over the years, I will provide you with three options. If you don't want to die yet, choose one of these three paths to immortality."

As he spoke, Lin Yu raised three fingers and said, "First, implant spiritual roots and embark on the path of magical cultivation."

"Second, enter my Bai Ze Wan Ling Tu. From then on, your body will be transformed into a demon, and your soul will be bound to the holy book, and you will never be able to transcend."

"Third, become my dependent..."
