Chen Zhao tested Blackie's experiment.
For a mutated creature that was modified from a toad, it was indeed a rare and precious achievement.
But this thing was useless to Chen Zhao and Blackie.
Blackie's success was only in terms of resurrection.
It was still far from true immortality.
This was understandable.
Chen Zhao, who was a dabbler in metaphysics, and Blackie, who was neither human nor ghost, could easily defeat them.
If they were able to spend a few years to research a true undying, then their predecessors would have probably been fed until they grew up.
They wouldn't even be able to get close.
If Chen Zhao could spend a few years to study the basics of metaphysics, he would be able to get a better understanding of it.
Then he could spend a few hundred years studying it with Blackie.
He might even be close to success in one aspect of immortality.
The word immortality itself was too big.
It was like omniscience and omnipotence.
In this world, or in all the legends of the gods, who could really be omniscient and omnipotent?
He was the coolest guy Chen Zhao knew. He was a handsome guy.
He was probably far from being omniscient and omnipotent.
Even immortality probably couldn't do it, let alone omnipotence.
So Chen Zhao didn't believe Blackie at all when he said his research was successful.
Of course, maybe Herm and Ningtai Johnson's research had misled Blackie.
After all, with their cultivation, realm, and even their horizons weren't high.
Maybe they thought immortality was because most cultivators couldn't kill them and had a long life.
"Blackie, are you free in the next few days?"
"I'm not sure," Blackie answered. "I have a few missions in the next three days."
Blackie's job wasn't given in advance. He could sense when someone was about to die within his range of activity.
This mission wasn't given by someone. He could sense it himself.
This ability was innate to Soulbringers.
It was as if they knew their duties from birth.
Moreover, this sense wasn't certain. At most, it could be felt in three days.
If it was slow, he might only sense it a few minutes before death.
But it didn't mean that Blackie had to collect all the souls he sensed.
Blackie could also choose some souls and give up some.
Giving up didn't mean that the person wouldn't die.
Some wandering ghosts were formed because the Soulbringers in the area where the dead were located did not take their souls away.
Generally speaking, Blackie only needed to complete a certain amount.
"Haven't you completed the quota for this quarter?"
"It's done," Blackie said. "If you need it, I can spare some time."
"I just destroyed a world today," Chen Zhao said. "And I shattered that world's will."
Blackie looked at him in shock. "When I first met you, you were just slightly stronger than a normal person. But now, you can tell me so casually that you destroyed a world."
"I want to know if that world has its own soul," Chen Zhao said.
The standard of a living being was its physical body, consciousness, and soul.
Chen Zhao wanted to confirm if a world had its own soul.
That was why Chen Zhao wanted Blackie's help.
If there really was a World Soul in that Feathered Serpent God World.
Only Blackie had the highest chance of finding it.
"Sure." Blackie agreed without hesitation. "But I can't guarantee that I'll definitely find it."
Chen Zhao could understand. After all, the thing they were looking for this time was too special.
They weren't even sure if it really existed.
…
Portia had completely accepted her identity as a witch now.
So, she was no longer surprised by the things in Chen Zhao's house.
The underlings didn't need to avoid Portia's eyes and ears anymore.
As long as there were no outsiders, the underlings would go back and forth in the house to work.
Portia's initial fear had also turned into complete acceptance.
Of course, at the beginning, she still had some hope that she could defeat Chen Zhao one day.
Then, Reva told Portia.
The dragon head that was said to be a Hollywood handicraft in the yard was actually real.
And it was the head that Chen Zhao had personally chopped off.
After knowing the truth, Portia didn't mention defeating Chen Zhao again.
She was worried that if she angered Chen Zhao, her head might become a decoration in his house.
Anyway, according to Reva, not many of Chen Zhao's enemies were still alive.
Then, Portia became completely obedient.
Chen Zhao came up from the basement and saw Reva trimming the plants.
Portia, on the other hand, was searching up and down the cabinets in the living room.
"Portia, what are you doing?"
Suddenly hearing Chen Zhao's voice, Portia jumped in fright.
"Uh … nothing." Portia looked like she was too frightened. She looked at Chen Zhao helplessly.
"Boss, she's looking for magic books," Reva said, glancing at Portia in the living room.
Portia looked at Reva, a little annoyed.
"Why do you have to be so sneaky? If you need them, I'll help you find a few. "
"Boss … aren't magic books very precious? Won't I be hunted down if I touch magic books that don't belong to me? "As a newcomer to the spiritual world, Portia didn't know the rules very well.
A lot of things were just her personal conjectures or the plots she had seen in movies and dramas. Compared to the real situation, there were obviously many discrepancies.
"If you have money, you can have everything, including magic books."
"Really?" Portia was overjoyed.
"But if you want magic books, you have to pay."
Portia's face darkened. Damn capitalists, she cursed silently.
You f * cking ask for money …
Right now, she had everything except money.
But now, she had a new understanding of Chen Zhao's family.
She felt that everything here could be a magic tool.
She guessed that the water on the counter was a magic potion.
Just then, Naveka Lina came.
"Boss, Northern Gravity has urged us many times. We hope to sign the contract as soon as possible."
They'd already negotiated last time, but the contract still hadn't been signed.
According to Chen Zhao and Naveka Lina's plan, they would say that Chen Zhao was on a business trip and hadn't returned yet.
Of course, Naveka Lina would continue to create the illusion that Chen Zhao was watching an air show in another city.
This was to create pressure for Northern Gravity and make them think that Chen Zhao hadn't made up his mind yet.
For this, Northern Gravity's negotiators even promised Navika Lina that if Chen Zhao could successfully sign the contract with them, she would receive two million dollars as a signing fee.
"Do you think it's a good time to sign now?"
"I think they can still lower the price."
"Alright then, keep an eye on this matter."
