Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family

Chapter 687: Chapter 506: Focus of Disease

Shi Hao thought Zhang Wen was overthinking things.

But Zhang Wen remained adamant, believing that if possible, they should not reveal the news about the Cyan Wood Longevity Realm to that Demon Venerable. To be precise, Zhang Wen felt that not telling anyone was their best way to ensure survival.

Shi Hao couldn’t be bothered with him.

Without his master’s help, how was he supposed to take away the entire Cyan Wood Longevity Realm?

Meanwhile, Mu Yingchun was sitting on Shi Hao’s shoulder, looking at him with anticipation: "Master, can your teacher really move the whole Cyan Wood Longevity Realm away?"

Shi Hao: "..."

He had no idea!

Although Shi Hao was very confident in his master’s abilities, the sheer size of the Cyan Wood Longevity Realm... was it really something a person could move, like an entire continent?

Right now, Shi Hao was quite curious about how those so-called Ancient Gods of the Cosmic Realm managed to bring such a huge landmass up to the heavens.

"It’s not a landmass, actually. The Cyan Wood Longevity Realm is a section of the trunk cut by Great Venerable Cyan Bird from the main trunk of the World Tree," Mu Yingchun answered Shi Hao’s doubts.

"World Tree?" Shi Hao was stunned; it was the first time he’d heard the term.

"It was the previous Cosmic Realm, you know. The previous Cosmic Realm was like a World Tree drifting in the Star Sea, later transformed into its current form by many deities," Mu Yingchun said casually. To him, the world had always been this way since he was born, and little had changed over the years. As for the legend of the World Tree, it was merely a legend.

"The World Tree, huh? I’ve heard that the Cosmic Realm was also very beautiful back then, as beautiful as a fairyland."

Saying this, Mu Yingchun’s expression dimmed.

...

A day later.

In the Inner Ring of the Cosmic Realm, at the residence of Sos, the place known as Divine Wood Spring City.

Chen Zhixing sat on a platform extending outward from the tree trunk, his expression somewhat dispirited.

For someone like him at the Longevity Realm to be so worn out, one could imagine what kind of mental torment Sos had inflicted on him the previous night.

"Normal inquiries are one thing, but why must I decide how to classify seventeen thousand species in the Cosmic Realm, going through them one by one... Is this what leaders of great powers have to do?"

Chen Zhixing was going insane, while Bai Yu hid on a soft couch inside the platform, watching him timidly.

Thinking back to last night, when Sos condensed images and charts of thousands of races using mana, marking even their height and weight among other things, and then asking Chen Zhixing why each race should be classified into a particular tier...

The massive workload was daunting to Bai Yu, and what baffled her further was that Chen Zhixing actually endured it. He spent an entire night with Sos and crafted a rough framework!

"This divinity isn’t as easy to earn as I thought..." Bai Yu muttered quietly.

"It’s alright, doing some planning for others and using the brain a bit is better than risking one’s life."

"You’re not just using your brain, you’re risking your life..."

"I suspect those Dao Masters in the Spirit Realm are doing just that."’

"Ha?" Bai Yu’s eyes widened.

"I’m certain that before I became a Dao Master, I couldn’t handle work like this."

Half-resting in his seat, Chen Zhixing let out a breath; he felt that when his mind was at work, it was like a supercomputer processing information. Although the task last night sounded difficult, to him, it was merely sorting some data. Far from pushing to the limits, it hadn’t really tested him.

The portrayal of fatigue wasn’t due to brain overload; rather, the monotonous and boring repetition made his human nature feel that it should be tired.

"Ah, no way, I’ve never heard of a Dao Master doing such work, never!" Bai Yu appeared somewhat panicked. In her impression, life after entering the Spirit Realm involved enjoying life just like now, without having to engage in tedious, mind-consuming tasks!

"Then what do you think a Dao Master’s daily routine is?" Chen Zhixing looked at her: "Just lounging around in the Spirit Realm all day?"

Bai Yu: "Well... well... surely someone should do those things for the Dao Master, right?"

"Who? The Golden Nature under the Dao Master?" Chen Zhixing looked at her quietly.

Bai Yu: "..."

If she went to the Spirit Realm in the future, she would be one among the Golden Nature!

"Using one’s own attribute to regulate the climate, cooperating with the Heavenly Dao of the Celestial Profound Realm, maintaining the Celestial Profound’s operation, and reverting to human form to settle crises that might harm the Celestial Profound Realm during world-threatening events...that’s likely what a Star Monarch’s daily life is about."

This insight seems to be the benefit gained from interacting with deities like Sos.

Gaining clearer recognition of the world’s essence enhances one’s ability to identify their position within the world.

"This...." Bai Yu certainly didn’t want to lead such a life!

But upon reflection, her predecessors indeed seemed to live exactly as Chen Zhixing described....

"Kill me now!"

Despair.

Collapse.

Hopelessness.

Bai Yu quickly entered a mode of giving up.

But she had thought it through.

She still had at least two thousand years to live, so even if she ended up living such a life as Golden Nature in the future, it was still two thousand years away.

No rush, absolutely no rush!

Anyway....

Chen Zhixing suddenly spoke: "By the way, make sure to prepare some food and drink; Sos will be coming by this afternoon."
