Urban Legends: The Legacy of Ancient Civilizations

"Don't you want to know the secrets related to the dried fruit in the silver box?"

It was obviously a response that was irrelevant to the question, and the higher-level existence diverted the topic to one related to eternal life.

Captain Dong came here to look for dragons, and there may be a certain connection between the dragon and the dried fruit. It is reasonable for higher-level beings to avoid the main issue and change the subject.

Soul and immortality, these are the highest secrets Bai Ning has come into contact with so far, so naturally he wants to know.

However, looking at the old man in front of him who was gradually recovering, Bai Ning felt that it was a little impossible.

Insufficient authority is the biggest gap between them.

"Why, do you want to possess that withered fruit?

If I can exchange this for a candid cooperation, I think it would be great.”

Bai Ning's response contained some trickery, and was based on a guess about the current state of higher-level existence.

If the brain in the jar behind him is decaying uncontrollably, perhaps the dried fruit in Bai Ning's hand is what he wants.

However, if the higher-level being in front of him needs this withered fruit, it means that he actually does not quite understand the secret of the withered fruit.

As for the secret of the dragon that was similar to the withered fruit, Bai Ning also felt it was a bit suspenseful.

However, Captain Dong went through so much trouble to come to this area just for the secrets related to the dragon.

If there were no secrets related to the dragon in this area, Captain Dong would not have made up his mind to explore this place based on a dragon stone carving he accidentally obtained.

Various possibilities were stirring in Bai Ning's mind, waiting for a response from the higher-level being in front of him.

“Hahaha, dried fruit.

This fruit was indeed a hot commodity in its day, but unfortunately, those who pursued the secret existence it represented ended up in depression.

Many great people of that great era rumored that this magical fruit was nothing more than a joke related to immortality.

A joke that has been spread by word of mouth.

What's the use of it if I want it?

Death is absolute and is destined to be irresistible.

All existence's pursuit of it is doomed to be futile.

At most, you will be like me, gasping for breath and waiting to die, living a life neither human nor ghost."

As if hearing the funniest joke in the world, the higher-level beings laughed out loud, which was very rare, showing an even rarer kind of madness.

It seems to be a longing and resentment for the past years.

This state made Bai Ning think again of the painting carved on the coffin, the painting that told the fantasy of immortality.

Sure enough, even if there is an existence like a higher-level existence inside the Queen Mother of the West that is infinitely close to immortality, is the final conclusion reached by those related to the Queen Mother of the West still that there is no hope of immortality?

"When the clan coalition attacked this place, it was because of your technology that can make people live forever, right?"

Bai Ning made another bold guess, wanting to see what the final reaction of the higher-level existence would be.

“Yes and no.

These things are nothing but dust in history, and seem to have nothing to do with you, the latecomer.

Even if you understand, what can you do? Will you make the same mistake again? "

The higher-level being responded with disdain, seeming to be quite bored with Bai Ning, an outsider, and also seemed to want to end the current topic.

"Tell me, why did you kill the four bodyguards who came in with me?"

In order to prolong the conversation, Bai Ning directly brought up the issue of the death of the four bodyguards, trying to gain more useful information by suggesting that there was something wrong at a higher level.

"Compared to a humble existence like you, they are a greater threat."

When the higher-level existence said this, Bai Ning was stunned for a moment, and finally realized that their identities might be very unusual.

The most likely possibility is that they are all members of the Night Demon Society.

Obviously, based on the importance of the current Queen Mother of the West's original refuge, the members of the Night Demon Society finally couldn't hold back and gave up the idea of ​​​​watching the fishermen gaining the benefits. They wanted to personally obtain the ultimate secrets of this important ancient relic.

However, the central control systems in the relevant ruins have the same attitude towards these major threats.

"Then let's talk about the descendants of the Huanlong clan.

His threat level should be quite high, so what is his current fate?"

Bai Ning's spying attempt failed, and he could only helplessly turn the topic back to Captain Dong.

This existence inherited from an ancient clan has many secrets that may allow higher-level beings to reveal more useful information.

“He came here to look for dragons, but unfortunately there are no dragon-related secrets left here.

The ancient and powerful genes of the dragon are extremely beneficial for various researches, but in the final clan war, all the secrets related to the dragon were divided up and taken away by them.

There is nothing here, and the dragon tamer is doomed to die in silence."

There is no secret of immortality, no secrets related to the dragon, and the secret of the dried fruit is more likely to be a joke.

Secret. Power. Soul. Immortality.

At this moment, I fell into nothingness and confusion again.

Hearing this, Bai Ning suddenly felt like laughing.

Did you risk coming here just to listen to this nonsense?

In the process of pursuing the secrets of the soul, various secret clues of equal weight were obtained, but these things were ultimately just an insignificant joke.

So, what about the secrets related to the soul?

This secret that can be materialized by the crystal core can't be just an unnecessary joke, right?

“No matter how many jokes there are, it’s just a matter of personal limitations of vision.

I have seen the dragon soul before, and the dragon soul crystal core is now in my hands.

I have also seen spontaneous human combustion related to the soul, and I once possessed a human soul crystal core.

So, tell me, are all the secrets related to the soul also a joke that can be ignored?"

Not caring whether it was appropriate or not, Bai Ning, who felt a little forced into a desperate situation, asked the question a little awkwardly.

This is the question he had spent the first half of his life pursuing.

He went through all the hardships, gave up everything, and never frowned, so steadfast!

The atmosphere in the field became silent, and Bai Ning's heartbeat slowly quickened, as if some fatal omen was about to be revealed.

To tear all of Bai Ning's spiritual support into pieces.

He doesn't care about the meaning and he has no obsession. So, what is Bai Ning?

Nothingness?
