"What do you mean?" Li Yi frowned. He really didn't understand what the old Liu Tianming in front of him wanted to express.
"Is that what it means literally?" Liu Tianming was just about to pour himself a cup of tea, but found that the other party had already drank every drop. He smiled to himself, stood up, and walked towards the cupboard in the distance.
"You didn't come to me to tell me these incomprehensible words, right?" Li Yi glanced sideways at the other party, with an indifferent look on his face.
When Liu Tianming heard this, he grinned, took the brewed tea and put it on the table again. He saw Li Yi's eyes shining and he didn't see him at all.
All I can see is that magical tea that can increase mental power!
Seeing the other party's appearance, Liu Tianming didn't say anything and just talked to himself.
"Let me put it simply, what do you think is the essence of life?"
"That's not simple. Birth, old age, sickness and death, generation after generation, as long as there is life, no one can escape this law, right?" Li Yi couldn't wait to pick up the freshly brewed tea and start a new round of cow drinking.
"Leave some for me! Do you know how to respect the old and love the young?" Liu Tianming glared at him dissatisfied, and said again: "That's right, living things are living objects. In essence, they are for survival. This is
An innate instinct is engraved in the genes of every life. It is a special gene that cannot be eliminated no matter how many generations have passed, because once it disappears, it means that the population will also disappear."
"What on earth do you want to say? I didn't come here just to let you give me a biology lesson." Li Yi listened to the old man in front of him talking, but he never got to the point, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Liu Tianming glanced at him and showed a strange smile, which made Li Yi hesitate.
This old man's smile is... so scary.
"Take you as an example. Why did you enter my spiritual world, pass one level after another, and finally come to this level? Let me see... um..." Wei
He turned Li Yi around several times, and what he said next made Li Yi feel like his whole body had been stripped naked.
"I lost my memory. I was being followed and monitored. I was not afraid of the alienation of the gray mist, and I couldn't awaken my powers. I thought I was a loser, so I just wanted to make more money, but in secret, I kept traveling through various spaces, constantly collecting props.
If you really can’t do it, you can still buy it. The money you earn will basically be used to buy props and get married. Oh, you are still a krypton gold party, huh?”
While talking about Li Yi's experiences along the way, his face suddenly darkened.
"Have you ever seen a demon spaceship?"
This old man can even see the demon spaceship? And the secret of shuttle... Li Yi felt a huge wave in his heart, and then remembered the two previous levels.
"How many powers have you awakened?"
Split manipulation...
The Shadowless One...
Thought reading...
There are only three kinds of superpowers he showed. Is this old man's talent stronger than Xiang Feiyu?
Li Yi stared at him dumbfounded, and the other person's old image instantly became much taller.
"Oh?" Liu Tianming was slightly surprised and praised: "Not bad, I have learned to draw inferences from one instance. You are right, I did awaken a lot of powers, but not three, but ten!"
"Ten kinds..." Li Yi was speechless.
I have worked so hard just to awaken one kind of superpower, but this old man said ten...
Li Yi, who once thought he was special, suddenly felt shocked that someone was showing off his face.
That feeling is like when you try your best to show off how rich you are, only to find that you just happened to hit the other person's area of expertise, and they easily paid out ten times more than his total assets, and you were still indifferent.
He said: It’s just pocket money.
At this time, in Li Yi's eyes, the tall image that had just been upgraded suddenly became particularly ugly...
So ugly...
I was complaining in my heart, but my mouth couldn't help but feel acid reflux.
Liu Tianming:......
"What are you thinking about? You're not jealous, are you? Huh? Why do I smell a sour smell..." Liu Tianming's nose moved, with a puzzled look on his face, but the slightly raised corners of his mouth betrayed his mood at the moment.
Feeling.
"Okay! Just say what you want to say, why make me so bitter." Li Yi simply admitted.
I'm just jealous. I'm showing off my cards, what? You came to me just to make me jealous, right?
"Since ancient times, no matter at home or abroad, people who have reached a certain supreme realm will always have new pursuits. This pursuit has nothing to do with status, authority, wealth, or women, because they all have more or less one or even several of these.
But they obviously won't be satisfied."
While Liu Tianming was talking, he seemed to think of some past events and suddenly laughed, making Li Yi confused.
"Then as a living being, there is no need for a living environment, because no one in this world is safer than him. All other natural desires of human beings can be satisfied at any time. Do you think it will be at this time?
How about it?"
"Let this situation last longer?" Li Yi followed his intention and said.
"That's right. So in order to achieve this goal, what ancient emperors liked to do most was to recruit a lot of women to give birth to enough offspring for themselves. They thought that sooner or later they would die, so they would let their offspring
Being able to enjoy all this and having the same genes as myself, does this mean that this situation can last longer?"
Seeing Li Yi's nodding, Liu Tianming continued: "So, the first thing that almost all these ancient emperors did after coming to power was to choose concubines, so that they could give birth to more offspring, or maybe they themselves
None of them have realized this. The so-called heirs are just to let their own blood, that is, the genes they created, continue to enjoy all this, so that they can also get some sense of participation."
"This is normal. Human beings are all selfish. In the final analysis, they are all just for themselves." Li Yi shrugged. He thought this was normal.
"Well, you are right. Human beings do have selfish genes in their bones. So after that, there was such an emperor. I have to say that in the history of ancient mankind, this emperor was still very famous. He said
It’s not an exaggeration to say that he is the emperor of the ages.” Li Yi knew which one he was talking about and couldn’t help but nodded: “Well, he is indeed very remarkable. He is decisive in killing and ruthless. He knows how to employ people and is good at controlling them. It’s a pity.
Life is short."
Liu Tianming smiled: "Perhaps you don't know that these great figures who can be called emperors will naturally have a feeling. Suddenly one day, he got some kind of omen, so he thought, I am so awesome.
What if my descendants can't compare to me and can't enjoy everything I have created? No, it's not just in case, it's definitely not comparable to me! No, I have to find a way."
Li Yi also smiled and followed his words: "So he chose one person and took three thousand boys and girls across the country to search for the legendary elixir. In the end, he never saw that person until his death.
He came back with the elixir he longed for, and the alchemist named Xu directly took the three thousand boys and girls to establish a country overseas."
Having said this, Li Yi looked at Liu Tianming: "You just want to say that the more evolved humans are, the stronger their desire for immortality will be, right?"
"It seems I don't need to say more." Liu Tianming smiled slightly and took his first sip of tea.
"It makes sense, but what does this have to do with your third level? Is there anything that can't be said clearly at once?" Li Yi still didn't understand what the other party wanted to say, but he was still patient and wanted to see what the other party wanted.
say what.
besides.
This old man is too verbose.
As if he didn't see Li Yi's impatient expression, Liu Tianming simply said nothing for the next time, and just drank tea one after another.
Time passes.
Finally, when Li Yi felt a faint urge to urinate, Liu Tianming slowly put down the tea cup in his hand, his eyes were extremely solemn, and he spoke word by word.
"As long as you promise me one thing, you will pass."
"I agreed!" Li Yi said directly without thinking.
Liu Tianming: .....Can you respect me? I am very serious now.
"That's what you said!" The more anxious he became, the stronger the urge to urinate became. Li Yi looked around.
How about... right here?
Having no time to pay attention to Li Yi's random thoughts, Liu Tianming finally said those words.
"Promise me, even if you become the person in the story in the future, you won't have the same thoughts as him."
Li Yi was confused: "What do you mean?"
Liu Tianming's expression remained unchanged: "You just need to promise me."
"Okay, then I agree." At this moment, Li Yi just wanted to end it quickly and solve the physical problem. After all, he didn't know if solving it in this spiritual world would truly solve the problem.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a notification sound coming from the system.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully clearing the nightmare level copy: Alienated Abyss]
[Customs clearance evaluation: B]
[Reward for clearing the level: Item: One piece of human essence, its function is unknown, and cheats: The theory and practical demonstration of space transfer. 】
The prompt ended and the scene in front of him changed. He returned to the corridor of the tavern again. Not far away was Xiang Feiyu and Maria, who were looking confused.
Seeing the two of them, Li Yi immediately felt relieved. Judging from their expressions, they probably didn't have this experience. Just as he was about to ask questions, he suddenly felt a shaking, like an earthquake.
A gloomy voice sounded from the bottom of Li Yi's heart. Yes, it was talking directly to him. He glanced at the two people not far away, and it was clear from their expressions that they did not feel the same way.
"Thank you very much! My little friend, I will come back to see you when I recover someday. Hehehehehe!"
The sudden voice made Li Yi confused, and for a moment he didn't know what to say in response to the other party.
Thank me? What did I do? Not good!
Suddenly he thought of the last words the elderly Liu Tianming said to him.
Liu Tianming turned into a ball of mud...
The Shadowless One...
commander...
There are several Liu Tianmings with completely different personalities, abilities, images, and ages.
