Collapse of Iron: The Immortal Boat Life of the Envoy of the Order of Fertility

The Pharmacist was the most selfless Star God, not to mention that Lu Qing was his favorite child. If his own child asked him for something, he would just satisfy him. Even if his own child wanted to kill him, the Pharmacist didn't care. If Lu Qing could really replace him, it would mean that the child he favored was more qualified to illuminate this universe than himself.

Gentle rain of light fell from the sky, landing on Rangqing's body like a kiss.

The pharmacist came in mid-air, smiling, with undisguised compassion between his brows as he looked towards Rangqing, as if he couldn't bear to see his child suffer any injustice.

In the abundant Dharma Realm, destiny is the road. As He walks, brambles grow and sprout, and mysterious flowers bloom.

"My child, all sentient beings have three kinds of death: death of destiny, death of transformation, and immortality of awakening."

"Segmented life and death, changing life and death... I can change it, but I cannot understand it. One thought leads to reincarnation and a hundred deaths and rebirths. It is meaningless." The thoughts of the Medicine Master were derived from his understanding of Buddhism, but Lu Qing was different. He had never studied formal Buddhism. He was completely using Taoist thoughts to explain the Medicine Master's understanding of abundance.

However, this does not hinder communication between them.

"How can a finite body cross the boundless ocean? My child, I hope you will cast off your burdens, escape from future existence, and be free and at ease."

The bramble branches stretched out towards Luanqing, blossomed with flowers, and the sweet dew and essence seemed to drip onto Luanqing's body.

Ryuqing refused.

"The body has limits, but knowledge has no limits...Lianqing is about to cross the sea." It was Lianqing's understanding that responded to the pharmacist.

The flowers of the vitex are more beautiful and scarlet fruits are produced.

"Use your finite body as a boundless boat to cross the boundless ocean?" The Medicine Master is still compassionate, and the expression between his eyebrows never changes.

"This body is a heavy burden, a bond of attachment, hard to let go, yet I have never suffered, so how can I be free? Severing all feelings, leaving behind all emotions, abandoning my body, I will immediately fall into the demonic realm... The end is an endless hell, where I wander in confusion."

"I understand your wish..."

"Pharmacist, can you speak human language? Classical Chinese is very tiring." Lu Qing raised his request without any psychological burden. Our Star God dotes on him so much, these small requests will definitely be met.

Star Gods are people who will break through any wall they hit. The fact that the Pharmacist can listen to theories that are completely opposite to his shows how much he values himself.

The behavior of the Star God is still too difficult to understand. In order to communicate well, we have to find a way to humanize the Star God.

"...Naughty child, I'll satisfy you." A doting smile appeared under the compassionate face.

"Child, I have gifted you with the full power of abundance. You've spent twenty-five years interpreting abundance with your own ideas... but you haven't yet mastered the authority to fully mobilize the destiny of abundance. If you truly could, there would be no place in the universe you couldn't explore."

"Even now, you are no longer at risk of extinction. You are more than capable of handling all the crises that will come."

"Crisis?" Lu Qing raised his head and looked at the pharmacist. A crisis that could be dealt with?

Since it is a crisis that can be dealt with, it is not the Star God who will come to deal with him, but what existence below the Star God can pose a crisis to him?

No one in the Antimatter Legion except the leader can do anything to him.

"The Lord of Knowledge calculated every possibility in the present universe. The Last King's constant ravings at the end of time... They all reveal the future."

"Child, do you think the universe has a predetermined script?"

Rangqing shook his head.

"I'm not the Knower, but I've heard some news from him. He uses the present as the known to calculate the unknowable future, thereby achieving omniscience. If nothing new and unknown emerges in the future universe, then this universe is nothing more than a script, and all living beings are slaves to fate."

"If the universe undergoes sufficient changes, then the calculations made by Master Boshi at that moment cannot be taken seriously. The future will be filled with uncertainty, and more uncontrollable crises will arise."

"What now?"

"My child, unfortunately, the universe has now reached an extreme state of unknowability. Everything in the future is unclear. With Aha and I covering up for you, Boshizun cannot calculate you. However, your ambition is great enough, and you have the motivation to support your ambition. Every time Boshizun calculates the future, it will change it in the next infinitesimal time."

"Master Boshi wants to kill me?" He asked unintentionally. Lu Qing naturally knew that the Star God would not attack him. He was just using the Pharmacist's ability to answer everything to clear up his doubts.

"Of course not. Even if he wanted to, Aha, I, and even the hunting patrol wouldn't allow it. The other Star Gods also don't care. Even Boshi Zun himself doesn't care. Apart from Aha, no Star God would deliberately kill a mortal."

"Master Boshi wouldn't do that. Does that mean the person who practices Master Boshi's concept of computational omniscience wants to kill me?" Lu Qing reacted immediately.

"smart kid."

"Can you tell me who it is?"

"He is the child of the Venerable Boshi family, but I don't know his name and haven't paid much attention to him." The pharmacist would not refuse. He would answer whatever Lu Qing asked.

"Child, do you want to know anything else?"

"I want to know what my future path will be. For me, no matter how much power I possess, it's all just a quantitative accumulation. But this accumulation can never lead to a qualitative leap. Even if one day I could create and destroy galaxies with a single thought, I'd still be fleeing in panic before a Star God... no, I wouldn't even be able to escape like an ant."

"Child, let me be frank with you... Those who reach the end of their lives and wish to continue on can either become gods or crown themselves kings... But the title of king is merely a more appealing one than that of a mortal. You are still mortal and can be killed by mortals. So, ascend to godhood. Follow your original plan and ascend to godhood in my place."

"Pharmacist, don't you feel resentful?"

"What is there to resent? I've heard the last king's murmurs. I, too, will eventually perish, dying on the hunt and in the betrayal of my own children. Since I'm doomed, why shouldn't I choose to be replaced by another beloved child?"

"..." Lu Qing was silent. He had nothing to say in the face of the pharmacist's kindness.

What kind of saint is this? He's so calm even when he knows he's going to die.

"Calm your heart, child. I look forward to that day."

"Time is running out. Take care of yourself. The patrol has found me and is heading towards this space. I will protect you from this unforeseen disaster and then leave to avoid implicating you."

"By the way, there might be gods coming to find you later, so don't get kidnapped."

As soon as he finished speaking, a patrolling light arrow suddenly fell from the sky and flew straight towards the face of the Pharmacist. He gently grasped the light arrow and handed it to Rangqing. After that, there was no sign of the Pharmacist appearing in the Dharma Realm anymore.

Looking at the arrow of light in his hand, Qing murmured to himself: "I changed my mind. Replacement... just replacement."
