Emperor Wu Shi looked at Yang Qi, smiled bitterly and said, "Even the Lord of the Alien Universe who refined the Alien Universe dare not say that he has an eternal lifespan, so how can a puppet have an eternal lifespan?"
this…
Yang Qi was stunned. Yes, the Lord of the Alien Universe could be regarded as the pinnacle among the practitioners, and his lifespan was measured in trillions of years. But even the Lord of the Alien Universe did not possess a truly eternal lifespan. How could a puppet do that
The previous Corpse Ancestor was able to transform himself into a half-human, half-puppet life form. There were countless practitioners more powerful than the Corpse Ancestor. Whether it was a puppet or a corpse puppet, there were countless practitioners whose souls were far superior to his. Could it be that these practitioners were unable to transform themselves into real puppet forms
If puppets could really possess eternal lifespan, Yang Qi had no doubt that there would be a large number of practitioners who would transform themselves into puppets in pursuit of eternal lifespan!
Practitioners never lack ways to pursue higher levels. There is no way to get out of it on their own, but life span is limited. No matter how talented you are, when your life span comes to an end, you will die. If you can have an eternal life, you can slowly seek a higher level, just like the Lord of the Universe. The Lord of the Universe is powerful, not only because they control the universe, but also because they have practiced for thousands of times longer than ordinary peak martial emperors, and have accumulated a lot of experience.
Therefore, if the puppet can really achieve eternal lifespan, even the lord of the alien universe would be tempted. After all, that is true eternity, which is longer than the lifespan of the lord of the alien universe!
“Time is the enemy of all living things, including puppets. Although the bodies of puppets can last for countless years, their souls cannot. In fact, in addition to the lifespan of the physical body, living things also have the lifespan of the soul.” The Wu Shi Emperor sighed lightly.
"Soul lifespan?"
Yang Qi was stunned. This was the first time he heard this statement.
“For ordinary creatures, the lifespan of the soul is often dozens or even hundreds of times longer than the lifespan of the flesh.” Emperor Wu Shi glanced at Yang Qi and continued, “Do you know why puppets and spirits have a lifespan far longer than that of flesh and blood creatures? In addition to the fact that their bodies are almost immortal, the bigger reason is that they consume almost all of their soul’s lifespan. In other words, how long their souls can exist is how long they can live!”
It’s actually like this!
Yang Qi was shocked. No wonder puppets and elves had such long lifespans, because they consumed the lifespan of their souls. For normal flesh and blood creatures, once the physical body died, the soul would dissipate.
A gleam of brilliance flashed in the depths of Yang Qi's eyes, and he hurriedly said, "If the body is immortal, and only the soul's life span is consumed, wouldn't the life span be greatly increased?"
"It's not that simple." Emperor Wu Shi smiled bitterly and continued, "The body and soul of a living being are innate, so they can fit perfectly together. If one of the soul and the body is separated, the living being will die. Even if you can change your body through special methods, the body and soul will not fit perfectly together. Even if your lifespan increases slightly, you will no longer be able to practice normally."
I see.
Hearing the words of the Wu Shi Great Emperor, Yang Qi also understood. No wonder there were almost no records of strong men changing their bodies and turning themselves into puppets like the Corpse Ancestor in his inherited memories. Although this method can slightly increase lifespan, it is just a way to prolong one's life. For those top strong men, even if they would rather die, few people would choose this path.
“In the endless universe, those whose lifespan far exceeds that of normal Martial Emperors are generally special creatures, such as puppets, elves, and the like. Strictly speaking, they are not real flesh and blood creatures.” said Emperor Wu Shi.
Yang Qi nodded. Indeed, whether they were puppets or elves, they were not real living beings of flesh and blood.
Even the corpse puppets that were closest to flesh and blood creatures were not real flesh and blood creatures. They were just puppets made from the corpses of powerful people as materials for refining weapons. Just like ordinary practitioners using materials from the corpses of some living beings as materials for refining weapons, could the items refined from them still be considered part of the corpse
“The lifespan of that puppet…” Yang Qi looked at Emperor Wu Shi and said.
Wu Qian is a puppet. He didn't know that puppets have a lifespan limit before, and thought that Wu Qian could exist forever. But now that he knows this, he understands that Wu Qian will also die. Yang Qi and Wu Qian have a deep relationship, so he naturally doesn't want Wu Qian to die before him one day!
"You don't have to worry about that." Emperor Wu Shi smiled slightly and continued, "Puppets at the Martial King level generally have a lifespan of about 60 million years."
Wu Qian not only has a close relationship with Yang Qi, but he was also personally refined by the Wu Shi Emperor, so naturally their relationship is extraordinary!
Phew~
Hearing this, Yang Qi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At least Wu Qian was unlikely to die before him. Even if he entered the Martial Emperor realm in the future, it would be the same. Unless he could become the master of the alien universe, or surpass the Martial Emperor realm, he would not be able to live longer than Wu Qian.
"The lifespan of a puppet is very long. It is almost impossible for the cultivator who makes the puppet to see his puppet die, so there is a saying that the lifespan of a puppet is almost eternal." Emperor Wu Shi paused for a moment before saying with emotion, "However, the lifespan of a puppet is still extremely short compared to that of a master of an alien universe."
In the Endless Universe, except for the three leaders of the Source Saint Sect, the only way for a normal Martial Emperor to have a lifespan far exceeding that of ordinary practitioners is to become the master of an alien universe.
“Master, if I can make my body immortal through normal practice, can I extend my lifespan?” Yang Qi suddenly looked at Emperor Wu Shi and said.
Hearing this, Emperor Wu Shi was slightly stunned. After a moment of silence, he said, "It is theoretically feasible, but it is difficult to do it because the strength of the physical body has an extreme, unless you break this extreme constraint."
"Break the extreme constraints?" Yang Qi raised his eyebrows.
“But if this extreme restraint is broken, the practitioner’s body may have surpassed the Martial Emperor realm.” Emperor Wu Shi sighed and continued, “If this is the case, it means proving the truth with force, but it is back to the issue of surpassing the Martial Emperor realm.”
this…
Yang Qi smiled bitterly. This was another chicken and egg paradox. Although the theory worked, the possibility of actually doing it was almost zero.
Emperor Wu Shi looked at Yang Qi and said solemnly, "Now is not the time for you to think about these things. You should practice hard and strive to enter the Martial Emperor realm as soon as possible. This is the right path."
"yes."
Yang Qi nodded. These things were too far away for him. He had been practicing for less than a thousand years. As a Martial Emperor, he still had hundreds of thousands of years to live. If he entered the Martial Emperor realm in the future, his life span would be even longer! (To be continued)
