Time flew by.
In Year 678 of the Federation Calendar, Jones gave birth to a pair of adorable twins.
At the same time, with Chung Shen-soo's help, he finally managed to pass through the Pure White Wilderness and become a Transcendent!
By the way, Camilla and Jennifer had already reached this step a few years ago.
These two sisters were also very worrisome. They didn't have boyfriends, and it seemed like they were going to die alone.
In this regard, Chung Shen-soo couldn't be bothered.
After all, he wasn't the real big brother, so he didn't need to worry about that.
Besides … it was fine as long as they were happy.
Not only that, he didn't even have any special feelings for his niece and nephew, Solo and Lillian.
This might be because of the mentality of a Transcendent, or it might be a change after obtaining a long life as an Immortal.
After all, the two great desires of humans were survival and reproduction.
In the end, it was still the pursuit of long-term existence!
Once one achieved longevity, or even eternal life, these two great desires would be completely suppressed.
"But … I think it might still be the influence of the curse. My madness is getting more and more terrifying …"
Chung Shen-soo stood in the shadows, looking at the two children playing excitedly on the lawn, as well as the Mojito family. He didn't show himself.
In the past few years, he had been seeing them less and less.
"After all … I'm just a passerby, a stranger …"
He sighed and returned to the Spiritual Realm.
In the past ten years, the Federation had gradually produced new Perfectionists.
After suppressing the chaos on the mainland, there were already people in the Parliament who were ambitious to go out and recover the colonies.
Chung Shen-soo didn't comment on this.
His only interest was to explore and explore the Spiritual Realm …
By now, he had already expanded the map of the Federation by ten times.
But unfortunately, he still hadn't found any clues about the 'Ascension Altar'.
…
Year 700 of the Federation Calendar.
More than 20 years passed.
Chung Shen-soo felt more and more that the Spiritual Realm was infinitely vast. In comparison, the real world was too small, like a lone island in the sea.
His hallucinations were getting worse, and the pitch-black blood vessels didn't just spread to his arms, but to his chest.
Looking at the situation, it would spread to his whole body sooner or later.
Cocktail Castle.
The saplings planted in the castle had grown into towering trees.
The air of a nouveau riche had also settled down, and there was a hint of a long history.
In today's Federation, the Mojito Financial Group was already second to none, and it had even obtained extremely rich profits from its overseas expansion.
At this moment, the entire castle was filled with a sorrowful atmosphere.
Pure white daisies were everywhere. A funeral was being held.
Chung Shen-soo, dressed in a black suit, walked in the passageway in a daze.
A plaster statue of a woman walked over, "If you don't save me … you'll die too!"
He was a little absent-minded, but he did not make a move.
A large number of tentacles almost reached him, but they immediately dissipated.
Only Carmela stood there, her voice cold. "You're finally here …"
"Take me there."
Chung Shen-soo sighed, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand.
Carmela, dressed in a black dress, brought Chung Shen-soo to a large hall. At this moment, there was only a coffin in the spacious hall, surrounded by fresh flowers. A middle-aged Jones was lying in the coffin.
Jennifer had a small white flower pinned to her chest, and she was comforting Jones' wife and children.
"He was too anxious …"
Carmela stood beside Chung Shen-soo, sighed, and said, "It's not that easy to cross the Crimson River … But the first half of his life was too smooth, and now that he's middle-aged, he can feel his life slipping away, as well as the fear of death … All these forced him to make that decision. Yep, he's also overly arrogant. He told us that he could solve this problem, and that we shouldn't ask you for help …"
Chung Shen-soo was speechless.
Becoming an Upgraded One only strengthened one's soul. In reality, it wouldn't increase one's lifespan.
But Jones couldn't wait any longer.
He was already middle-aged, and if he waited any longer, he was afraid that he wouldn't have the energy and determination to advance in the future.
Yep, this guy might still want to become a Perfected One.
But he had to admit that most people in this world didn't have that kind of talent.
The consequence of forcefully advancing was that his soul would be washed away by the Crimson River.
If not for the fact that there were a bunch of people setting up protection in the real world, his body might have mutated into a monster and brought harm to his family.
Chung Shen-soo sighed and placed the bouquet of flowers in front of the coffin.
Even he didn't have much of a way to advance.
Even if he used the most luxurious auxiliary equipment, whether or not he would succeed in the end still depended on his personal qualities, personality, and a bit of luck.
Clearly, although Jones had done the best he could, his personal qualities weren't up to standard, and he would still fail!
"You're already Upgraded One?"
He looked at his two sisters and said in a deep voice, "Climbing the Golden Sky Reaching Tower is even more dangerous than swimming in the Crimson River. I don't want you to take the risk."
In this aspect, there wasn't much he could help them.
After all, the Tenxiu Point could only help one's own bloodline evolve, and it couldn't help others.
As for Jennifer and Carmela's talent in mysticism? They were only slightly stronger than Jones, but it was hard to say by how much.
Chung Shen-soo had detailed information on the Federation.
According to the most recent census, there were over 100 million people.
And among them, there were less than 50 Perfected One!
"Don't worry, we won't be so reckless. Even if we want to break through, we'll have to wait until our lifespans are about to run out … Actually, Upgraded One can only live for about a hundred years. Only Perfected One can live for hundreds of years …" Carmela replied.
"And Jones … he left behind a lot of trouble, especially so many mistresses and illegitimate children … Some of them don't know anything about the Mysterious World at all, and they still want to get a share of the company's shares, or even seize control of the financial group! After all, the Mojito Financial Group's leader is still Jones on the surface. "
Saying this, she couldn't help but sneer.
"These are all small matters. You and Jennifer can decide for yourselves."
Chung Shen-soo waved his hand.
As long as he was still around, this was not even a storm. It could only be said to be an interesting change in daily life.
"Yes, I mean to let Solo inherit, but he's still too young, so Jennifer and I will be his guardians and help him a bit."
Carmela replied casually.
It seemed like her feelings for Jones' descendants weren't that deep.
"I'm leaving."
Chung Shen-soo sighed.
He felt that another wave of hallucinations was about to arrive.
"You …"
Carmela was so angry that her chest kept heaving, as if all the emotions she had accumulated before had exploded. "Why are you always like this? Don't you care about your family at all?"
But in Chung Shen-soo's eyes, her face had already turned ashen, and countless tentacles had sprouted from her body. It was as if her body was nurturing some kind of terror …
"I'm sorry!"
He sighed and quickly entered the Spiritual Realm.
