He stared blankly at the wooden sculpture about two meters high in front of him.
It seems that all the plot trends are inducing me to wake him up,
However, Tian Wu gave countless warnings and instructions, but could not awaken the eternal person...
But now, it is impossible to judge whether this so-called eternal person is good or bad.
…
Su Mu carried Jiang Zhiyu to the entrance, put it away, then walked back to the wood carving and observed it carefully.
There is no doubt that there is nothing in the body that can be called a "monster".
However, Su Mu discovered that his right hand was holding a white bone.
The color of this bone is very dazzling, and it is out of place compared to the entire wood carving and the surrounding links.
Shaped like a dagger.
In other words, this is a dagger made from a piece of bone.
Su Mu squinted his eyes and looked at the bone knife in the Eternal Man's hand, feeling something familiar.
But I can't tell.
At this time, Jiang Zhiyu, who was wearing school uniform, showed a sweet smile and said: "Xiaomu, wake him up."
Su Mu: "..."
"With just a little bit of your blood, you can revive him." Jiang Zhiyu seemed impatient.
However, Su Mu looked at Jiang Zhiyu and his face darkened: "You are not Jiang Zhiyu."
"Xiaomu, what's wrong with you?"
"It's me."
Jiang Zhiyu stepped forward and held Su Mu's hand, "Although I don't know why I still appear, but maybe this is the wonder of Tianqi, it is really me."
"No……"
Su Mu broke away from Jiang Zhiyu's hand and took a few steps back, "You are not her. She always told me not to wake up the Eternal One. You...you are the Eternal One!"
Jiang Zhiyu: "..."
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
The innocent expression on Jiang Zhiyu's face gradually faded away.
After a moment, she suddenly laughed: "Hahaha, hahaha..."
"You actually discovered me."
"Yes, I'm not her."
"I……"
"The Eternal One."
As the words fell, there was a twist.
Jiang Zhiyu, who was wearing school uniform, turned into a man wearing a shabby black robe.
His face could not be seen clearly under the huge brim of the hat, but there was something like a galaxy and universe.
He looked at Jiang Zhiyu, who had no signs of life, and said in a hoarse voice, "Tian Wu sent you here, right?"
"I didn't expect that he actually found it."
Su Mu: "What did you find?"
"No rush, no rush..."
The Eternal Man shook his head: "Let me tell you a story first."
"The current me is just an illusion created in your mind through thoughts..."
"Because I am an eternal body, my body and my consciousness will never be damaged..."
"And the reason why I can become eternal is entirely because of a woman."
"Her name is Hong Ling. She is a saint from the Heavenly Palace. We met by chance."
"Her curiosity about the mortal world and my yearning for the Heavenly Palace made us get to know each other and fall in love very quickly."
"But...the gods have godhead and eternal life, but I am just a mortal. Birth, aging, illness and death are the normal conditions of human beings."
"So, she did some terrible things so that I could be with her forever."
Su Mu was alert and asked, "What did she do?"
The hoarse voice of the Eternal Man then sounded.
"In this world, whether it is human or demon, life has an end."
"But those powerful evil spirits and the high heavens have infinite lives."
"So, she seizes the power of evil spirits and attempts to combine people with evil spirits to find a way to live forever."
"Moreover, she also provoked a war between the heavenly beings and the demon clan. Taking advantage of the chaos, she stripped away the godhood of the heavenly beings, so that they no longer had immortality and fell to the altar."
"In the end, she also forcibly changed the operation of the apocalypse, doing one thing after another that went against the will of heaven, and finally found a way to live forever."
"So, I gained this power, and with her help, my immortality became eternity."
"Even if the physical body is destroyed, it can be restored in a moment of thought."
"The soul is eternal."
"But... also because this power does not belong to me, it makes me a monster."
"I need to continue to eat the flesh of demons, drink the blood of humans, and suck the souls of heavenly beings in order to maintain a normal state, otherwise..."
The Eternal Man looked at his transformed wooden sculpture and continued: "Otherwise, it would be like this."
"But even if I become like this, I can wake up as long as any one of these three things."
"But, I don't know who I belong to. The three major races in this world have become my food, and I have also lost the ability to reproduce, so who am I?"
"I am not the fourth race. Because I cannot reproduce, I cannot create my own dynasty."
"So, I'm a monster."
"I hate myself for being like this."
"I hate her even more for turning me into a monster because of her insistence."
"So, as the strongest creature at the time, I ordered Tian Wu to kill her."
Su Mu's heart trembled and he said, "You let Tian Wu kill the woman who is crazy about you?"
"Crazy about me?"
The Eternal Man sneered: "That's just a manifestation of her selfishness."
"Can't you feel it?"
"They are very selfish."
"Never be deceived by their appearance, their selfishness will never disappear for anyone."
"Once their bottom line is touched, they will do something irreversible for their goals."
"Wait..." Su Mu frowned, "You said...'them'?"
The Eternal Man looked at Jiang Zhiyu and said with a half-smile, "It seems you really don't know anything. Yes, I'm talking about them."
"My love, Hong Ling."
"With your friend, doppelgänger..."
Before Su Mu could ask questions, the Eternal Man directly explained: "This world has the way of heaven, and the way of heaven has reincarnation."
"Everyone may have a doppelgänger, perhaps a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand years apart, or they may appear at the same time."
"Even now, there will be people who have no connection at all but look very similar, right?"
"They are as if they were copied. Although they live in different places, their natures are the same and they have extremely similar appearances."
"She is Hong Ling's doppelgänger."
"These eternal vines were created by Hong Ling, so her blood will have an effect on the eternal vines."
"Only then can I leave the underground that will never see the light of day."
There was silence for a moment.
The Eternal Man walked up to Sumu and continued: "I know it is difficult for you to understand what I said, and you even don't believe me at all."
"But if you still want to save her."
As soon as the Eternal Man raised his hand, the bone knife on the wooden carving fell into Su Mu's hand.
"Use this bone knife to kill nine people, and make sure the blade is stained with the heart's blood, and then bring it back here so that she can be resurrected." The Eternal Man said calmly.
Su Mu: "..., you want me to kill nine people?"
The eternal man stood in front of Sumu.
"right."
"If you don't care about her death, there is no need to kill her."
