Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family

Chapter 664: Chapter 494: Die with Me_2

They actually asked the two of them to leave!

Shi Hao: "???"

Are people in the Cosmic Realm always this friendly?

Even when regular troops discover intruders who’ve entered the Cosmic Realm without permission, they don’t think about capturing them or driving them away, as long as they don’t approach the restricted area?

Instinctively, Shi Hao looked at Zhang Wen, hoping he could offer some advice.

Zhang Wen was equally bewildered.

Honestly, the best outcome he had anticipated when encountering the Watchers was being caught and ’converted’ into one of them after his identity was exposed!

After all, there were precedents before him.

But who would have thought that the Watchers they encountered this time would be so reasonable.

As his thoughts raced, Zhang Wen didn’t pause his speech.

"Alright, we’ll leave now."

While saying this, Zhang Wen grabbed Shi Hao’s sleeve and flew back.

The Watchers didn’t stop them. They just confirmed from mid-air that they had left the vicinity of the seas before returning to the area where Frost Dragon Island was located.

Moments later.

Having returned to the deserted area, Shi Hao said to Zhang Wen:

"Brother Zhang, I think those Watchers’ condition was off. They weren’t uninterested in us; more likely, they were entangled in something more important, not wanting to complicate things further because of us two."

"I know, cough, cough, it’s that Dragon Island, cough... that Frost Dragon Island, it should be the Divine Kingdom that fell from the sky earlier. The Watchers are busy dealing with the Divine Kingdom now and naturally don’t have time to bother with small fry like us two aliens."

"So, what’s truly on that island? My master told me before coming to the Cosmic Realm that there’s divinity within these Divine Kingdoms. Do you think the island also has divinity?"

"Divinity?"

"Divinity is Golden Nature!"

"Golden Nature... cough, cough, cough... cough..."

It seemed like Zhang Wen was stimulated by the words ’Golden Nature,’ and after a bout of coughing, an unhealthy flush appeared on his face: "Did your master really say this? Is it on every island or just certain ones?"

Saying this, Zhang Wen seemed to fear Shi Hao wouldn’t understand his meaning, and pointed at those Ancient God Realms still hanging in the sky.

The meaning was very clear; the islands he referred to were those Divine Kingdoms in the sky.

"I think it’s on all of them," Shi Hao was somewhat uncertain: "My master said these islands are the Divine Kingdoms of Ancient Gods; since they are Divine Kingdoms, their original owner is naturally a god, and the divine format of the gods in this world is a gathering substance of Golden Nature for us cultivators of the Celestial Profound Realm...."

"Golden Nature... I’ve heard these Ancient Gods have been dead for many years, I wonder if the divinity they left behind is still there...."

"Golden Nature is immortal; once it appears, it won’t disappear, it might just exist in another form. Well, according to my master, as long as no one becomes a god, these divinities won’t be inherited."

Zhang Wen was even more excited upon hearing this.

Although he knew the rules of the Cosmic Realm and Celestial Profound Realm were different, and even if he obtained Golden Nature from the Cosmic Realm, it might not be usable as Golden Nature in the Celestial Profound Realm.

But no matter what, getting Golden Nature is always a good thing.

Even if he can’t take it to the Celestial Profound Realm, getting it and gaining insight from it might let him advance to the realm of ’Longevity Master’ ahead of time, paving the path for confirming the Longevity Tao Fruit in the future?

Moreover, if it really doesn’t work, then after getting the divine format, Zhang Wen might as well choose not to return to the Celestial Profound Realm and directly choose to become a god in the Cosmic Realm!

After all, for the Celestial Profound Realm, Zhang Wen is just a small fry who has just entered the Peak Realm, whether he’s there or not doesn’t make a difference.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang?"

"I’m fine, Brother Shi Hao, don’t worry, I’m tough, there won’t be a problem before I get Golden Nature!"

Zhang Wen confidently said, his tone now completely different from the despairing state he was in before.

Shi Hao nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this.

There was one thing, Shi Hao never said to Zhang Wen.

In his eyes, Zhang Wen was not simplely ’Zhang Wen.’

Probably because when Shi Hao first arrived in the Cosmic Realm, he saw Zhang Wen lying on the ground, and what Shi Hao saw on Zhang Wen’s back was actually another ’face.’

A face resembling bark, dry and twisted, without eyes, only a withered mouth like a crack continuously wriggling as if chewing something.

Back then, Shi Hao thought the ’Zhang Wen’ before him was a good specimen, one he could take back for his master to see, so he chose to heal Zhang Wen.

After all, this kind of individual, formed by the fusion of lives from two worlds, still in the fusion process, should interest his master.

And now, on the surface, Zhang Wen seemed to be suppressing the face at the back of his head with his greed for Golden Nature.

But Shi Hao hadn’t forgotten Zhang Wen’s previous words.

’Whenever you find my behavior weird, my expression fanatical, and about to lose sanity, don’t hesitate, just kill me!’

Shi Hao thought Zhang Wen’s words made a lot of sense; if such circumstances appeared, it meant Zhang Wen had almost been devoured by the other side.

But even when that time comes, Shi Hao wouldn’t kill him.

After all, he’s planning to take him back as a gift for his master, and as for whose consciousness takes dominance in Zhang Wen’s body, that’s a trivial matter which doesn’t concern Shi Hao.

Likely it doesn’t concern his master either... right?

...

At the same time.

While Shi Hao was pondering these things, he wasn’t aware that inside Zhang Wen there was also a conversation happening.

’Zhang Wen, he’s our enemy, kill him, for the peace of the Cosmic Realm!’

’His master is Demon Venerable, I don’t dare.’

’Kill him, quickly kill him, after killing him we’ll bring him back to my original body, and then I’ll be reborn into his body, then you and I can become Watchers, by then, even his master can’t harm you and me!’

’I don’t dare.....’

’You don’t dare, but you can lure him in front of those Watchers, then create an accident, use their hands to kill him!’

’Don’t harm me, I fell for your trick earlier and ended up like this....’

’Zhang Wen, I saved you!’

’You didn’t save me, you parasitized my body, and you’re constantly probing my memory, turning everything of mine into yours!’

’...’

’Sigh, stop it, for saving my life, die with me in this shell, I won’t let you go out and harm others.’

’Zhang Wen, I saved you!’

’I know.’

’You can’t be ungrateful! You shouldn’t be hostile to me! Moreover, we are now one! Just help me get his body, then we can be friends again, become soulmates!’

’Die with me in this shell....’

’Zhang Wen! Don’t you want Golden Nature! Don’t you want Longevity! You know, these are easily achievable in the Cosmic Realm! Just let me help you!’

’Golden Nature... Longevity....’

’Yes, Golden Nature, Longevity, those divine format nurturing Golden Nature are easily obtainable. You know that, in the Cosmic Realm, there are many divine creatures that exist due to the recognition of Golden Nature; you can too!’

’...’

’As long as you help me get his body....’

’Oh, tree... I’m scared.... you, die with me....’

No one understands better than Zhang Wen the hurdles that a Noble Family-born Demon Venerable must face to reach such heights.

Precisely because he has such clarity, though Zhang Wen doesn’t agree in mind and heart, if you ask him to pick a fight with Chen Zhixing, he absolutely won’t do it.

Disagreement and lack of self-awareness are two different things.

I know you’re formidable, but I can’t beat you, yet I disagree with you, and I wouldn’t provoke you and throw my life away given the choice.

That’s Zhang Wen’s attitude towards Chen Zhixing, the Demon Venerable.

As for Shi Hao’s proposal to take him to meet Chen Zhixing and ask this Demon Venerable to save him....

Zhang Wen understood Shi Hao’s intentions.

Everyone’s a smart guy, if subordinates sent a ’newborn’ mixed blood of Human Race and Alien Race to him, he would be quite interested too.

Zhang Wen understood completely.

But there’s one thing.

Compared to the temptation from the goofy tree inside his head, Zhang Wen knew better that instead of making a move on Shi Hao, he’d rather place his hope in Chen Zhixing’s ’merciful heart.’

If it doesn’t work.

Still the same line.

’Oh, tree, die with me in this shell....’
