Chapter 937 – Immortal’s Path to Godhood
”…… She’s not my wife.”
”I saw that when you guys appeared on the cabin, your hands were clenched together and I tugged for a long time before I could tear you apart, and that’s still not a wife?” Remembrance gave Lin Qiye a suspicious look, “You’re not a scumbag, are you?”
Lin Qiye: ……
”How’s her situation?” Memorial asked.
”Vital signs are all normal, but she’s been in a coma, the exact reason is still unclear.”
”An inexplicable coma?”
Memorial walked over to Caran’s side, reached out his hand, and gently rested it on Caran’s forehead.
She slowly closed her eyes, seemingly sensing something.
”What are you doing?” Lin Qiye asked suspiciously.
”Examining her.” Remembrance spoke calmly, “There’s not much that can be seen with just this medical equipment.”
”You can check her body by putting your hand on her forehead? Is that also your ability?”
”…… Hmm.”
After a moment, Memorial withdrew his hand, one brow furrowed slightly.
”What’s wrong?”
”It’s a bit strange.” Memorial opened his mouth thoughtfully, “Inside her body, there is a mysterious energy, the attributes of this energy have tended to be close to immortality, able to shelter itself from external influences ……”
”[Immortality]?” Lin Qiye blurted out.
”It should be, but now, these energies shattered.” Remembrance turned her head to look at Lin Qiye, “Before, did she suffer some sort of trauma?”
In Lin Qiye’s mind, he quickly recalled the [Immortal] carriage that was chopped open by the Heavenly Clouds Sword when he was in the High Heavenly Plains, as well as the [Immortal] shield that was on Lin Qiye the second time he was chopped open ……
Caran’s [Immortality], within a very short period of time, shattered twice.
”Yes.”
”That’s right then.” Remembrance nodded, “Your so-called [Immortality] should be an alternative type of ‘Time Suspension’, except that from the perspective of the Laws, this kind of stagnation has already transcended the concept of ‘time’, infinitely tending towards ‘Eternity’.
And this kind of energy in her body originally already had a hidden tendency to knit into its own law.”
”Forming into its own laws?”
Hearing this description, Lin Qiye directly froze in place, and in his mind, the scene of Zhou Ping creating his own sword law and ascending to godhood back then resurfaced.
As if he had thought of something, his mouth opened in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief:
”Are you saying ……”
”She’s going to become a god.”
Memorial’s palm rested on Calan’s forehead, unable to hold back his emotion, “The total amount of spiritual power in her mind is even more massive than mine……. She should have stepped into the human ceiling realm a long, long time ago, only that she has always been stuck at the step of forming the Laws and ascending to the God realm. ”
Caran is a human ceiling?
A thunderbolt flashed through Lin Qiye’s mind.
In his mind, he quickly flashed through the images of releasing Jia Lan from the coffin and then traveling all the way to today……. When he thought about it carefully, he had never seen Jia Lan break through the realm, he had never seen her release the realm pressure, and he even had no concept at all of just how much total spiritual power she had.
Jia Lan, has always been strong when she encounters strength, and weak when she encounters weakness.
Her fist might not even be able to kill a “sea” realm, but her body could withstand the attacks of a god.
Since [Immortality] wasn’t an absolute defense, that meant that the upper limit of its defense was based on Caran’s own realm, and the fact that she was able to withstand a god’s attack meant that her realm had already reached an extremely high level.
And the fact that the Heavenly Clouds Sword was able to cut through [Immortality] also meant that Caran was not destined to arrive at the level of a Deity yet.
She was the peak realm of the human ceiling.
”Now then, why is she unconscious?” Lin Qiye returned to the original question.
”It’s because the [Immortality] power in her body is reorganizing.”
”What does that have to do with being unconscious?”
”Like I just said, her [Immortality], is essentially a type of ‘time suspension’ that originates from the laws of time, and the process of reorganizing the [Immortality] is the same process of solidifying the time flowing around her into her own time.”
Seeing that Lin Qiye was still at a loss, Memorial thought for a moment and added:
”Do you know about hydropower?”
”Know.”
”The principle of hydroelectricity is to take the kinetic energy contained in the flowing water and convert it into electricity, which is what she’s doing right now.
If she wants to reorganize [Immortality] and knit it into a law that belongs to herself, she has to draw the power of time from the long river of time flowing around her, and then transform it into her own solidified time, which is [Immortality].
In other words, she was ‘eating’ time.
And this, was the only path for her to crystallize her own laws.
During this process, her own consciousness would also sink, and naturally it would be impossible for her to awaken.
I think that she must have already spent extremely long years in order to cultivate her own [Immortality] to this point……. By the way, I haven’t asked you yet, how old is she?”
Lin Qiye was silent for a moment, “Just over two thousand years old.”
Remembrance: ……
At this moment, Lin Qiye’s mind reappeared with the scene of Jia Lan lying in the coffin.
It turned out that these two thousand years that Garlan had been lying in the coffin was to absorb the power of time and condense the beginnings of the law within his body?
After spending two thousand years, one hasn’t been able to coalesce the laws of godhood …… [Immortality] The path to godhood is surprisingly so difficult?
”That is to say, she can only awaken when the [Immortality] in her body has completed its reorganization?”
”That’s right.”
”How long will this probably take?”
”I don’t know.” Remembrance shook his head, “If we use her previous two thousand years of slumber as a reference, the time for her to awaken is estimated to be in centuries.
However, when she wakes up again, the laws in her body should be almost condensed ……
She, too, should have become a god.”
Hundreds of years?
Lin Qiye’s body shook.
Hundreds of years from now, he would probably already be a cupped handful of dust, and by then, Caran might have only just awakened?
The sea has changed, the stars have shifted, and by then, not to mention him, whether the night watchman still exists, whether the world is still the same as it was, it is hard to say …… The moment she opens her eyes again, the world may already be a completely different scenario.
Hundreds of years is still so, two thousand years of years, and how long it should be?
All beings reincarnate, dynasties change …… Lin Qiye intuitively felt for the first time that in front of [Immortality], time is actually so pale and powerless.
In other words, he would never see Jia Lan again in this life?
In a trance, the last words that Caran had spoken to him kept rolling around in his mind:
”Next time, I want to hear you say …… to me in person that you like me.”
Did he like her?
After knowing the truth about the Love God’s Arrow, Lin Qiye’s heart was not the least bit confused, and he had only one answer left:
Like!
He liked Jia Lan.
But until the last moment, he hadn’t been able to say those words to Jia Lan in person, and he had thought that he still had a chance to make amends, but now he realized that ……
He didn’t even have the chance to say those words, anymore.
