After understanding all the causes and consequences, Sui Xiong fell silent.
He looked at the two nervous but determined legendary mages and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
After all the hardships, the only option is death!
Speaking of which, these two legendary mages are already very old. On earth, even the younger one is older than most civilizations in the world. The older one is almost as old as the pyramids. He is simply a living human fossil!
It is said that they have lived long enough and should not be afraid of death, but the long years have not given them the courage to face death calmly, but have made them more afraid of death.
This is not surprising, there are many precedents on the earth. Needless to say, Emperor Qin, Emperor Wu of Han, and so on. Even next to Sui Xiong, he had seen a centenarian talking about health and wellness every day, with the attitude of "I really want to live another five hundred years."
It is true that a hundred years old is nothing to these two legendary mages, and Emperor Qin and Han Wu are still just juniors to them, but at least they all have the same point of "wanting to live".
Sui Xiong does not discriminate against them, nor does he want to laugh at them. Not being afraid of death is admirable, but being afraid of death is nothing to discriminate against or laugh at. He just felt a little emotional - these two people have almost lived to the extreme of "mortal". Looking at their extremely aging appearance, I am afraid that they have to pay a lot of price every day they live, but even so, they are still struggling to survive, and they are still alive. Refuse to die.
"It's not easy for you..." He sighed and said, "Is death really so terrible? With your status, you can be accepted into the Kingdom of God after death. Even if you are willing, the Lord of Mysteries is now I can take you to the Kingdom of God - wouldn’t that mean you can avoid death?”
"That's different." The older legendary mage said, "Whether it's a believer or a divine envoy, they are essentially just phantoms that rely on divine power to exist. They cannot be considered truly alive at all. Similarly, whether it is a lich or a demon, Regardless of the image, they are just shadows of people who once lived, and are no longer the people who lived back then."
Sui Xiong nodded slightly, of course not agreeing with this point of view, but understanding their attitude.
Their idea is quite famous and comes from an ancient sage. The sage believed that no one in the world could live forever. When the flesh and blood body decays and the soul body withers, everything will disappear. Even if you can transform into other forms and continue to live, continuing the memories and emotions of the past, it is nothing more than a shadow of the past.
This kind of thought has a great influence, and many secret methods of extending life were invented under the influence of this thought. In order to help old Rhodes survive, Sui Xiong had put some effort into this aspect, so he naturally knew this idea - he also knew a lot of things derived from this idea. For example, he saw at least ten things in the two legendary mages. different means of survival.
Some of these life-extending methods are safe and harmless, but some have serious side effects, and some side effects are extremely serious. For example, he saw a method called "Pain is Life" and used this method to extend his life. Life will keep you in pain. The longer you live, the worse the pain will be. Moreover, this kind of pain cannot be contained or eliminated, otherwise the life-extending technique will fail immediately.
Considering the ages of these two people, the pain they endured may have reached an alarming level. An ordinary person might be willing to die just to breathe a sigh of relief.
But they still struggle to live and want to continue living.
So Sui Xiong felt that they were actually quite pitiful.
Living like this is really ugly, and you have lost even a little bit of human dignity!
"You... just want to continue living?" He couldn't help but ask.
"Yes." The younger legendary mage replied without hesitation, "As long as we can survive, we can pay any price!"
The older legendary mage then said: "We know that we are small compared to you. We don't know what we can offer in exchange to satisfy you, so we can only guarantee that we are willing to give everything. The price you can afford is to exchange for the flesh and blood of the true God, so as to complete the wine of eternal life and achieve true immortality."
Sui Xiong was silent for a while, looking at the expressions of fear, hope and determination on their extremely aging faces, and finally sighed deeply.
"To be honest, I don't like you very much." He said, "Although I can understand your fear of death, it is extremely ugly to go to such extent in order to 'live'. From you, I can clearly understand It makes me sick to see aging and death almost materialized, lingering around you."
Without waiting for the two legendary mages to explain, he added: "And I can see that you have used many evil methods in order to extend your lives. Many of these methods are unreasonable - in order to survive to this day, you have How many people were killed? Five hundred? A thousand? Maybe more."
The two legendary mages stopped trying to defend themselves and lowered their heads in silence.
This was what they were most worried about before. As a kind god, His Majesty Void Mask can see the sins they carry.
"But I also noticed a very interesting point." Sui Xiong changed the topic and continued, "Except for the sins committed to extend your life, there are quite few other sins on your body, which are almost insignificant compared to this. - In other words, apart from trying to survive, you have not done any other evil deeds, which is considered rare."
"Because I dare not." The younger legendary mage explained, "We have done too many bad things, and God knows when a righteous person will come to punish us..."
"But you still did a lot of bad things in order to survive."
"If you can't survive, there's no point worrying about anything else."
Sui Xiong smiled and shook his head: "In short, what I saw are two people who are willing to do whatever it takes to survive. You have really achieved this to the extreme. Even I can't help but sigh, even Yu wants to admire you a little."
"So, I am willing to help you." He said, "But the price I ask you to pay is not light."
"Please give me your orders! No matter what the price, we are willing!"
"Yes! No matter what the price is!"
The two legendary mages perked up and answered hurriedly.
Sui Xiong smiled again and said: "When you succeed in renewing your life, you will gain endless life. Then, devote your life from then on to improving people's lives and making the common people live a safe and prosperous life." Bar."
The two legendary mages were stunned. You looked at me and I looked at you. They didn't understand what Sui Xiong meant.
Of course Sui Xiong saw their thoughts and said with a smile: "Don't understand? It doesn't matter. You will have enough time to slowly understand it and then put it into practice."
He slowly raised a tentacle, and the golden divine blood fell from the tentacle, suspended in front of the two people, and turned into two golden-red gems the size of knuckles.
"If you are willing to accept this condition and pay this price, you can take away the divine blood I gave you. Otherwise..."
Before he could speak, the two legendary mages took out special potion bottles without hesitation and put the divine blood into them.
Then, they bowed before Sui Xiong.
"Your Majesty, the Great Mask of the Void, we will spend the rest of our lives fulfilling our promise to you!"
"Yeah, if we break our promise, let's go straight to hell!"
Under the illumination of divine power, the oath turned into a wonderful mark, engraved on their souls.
No matter how powerful the gods are, they can't change this oath.
