Year 703 of the Federation Calendar.
The overseas colonial expansion of the Mesopotamian Federation finally encountered an obstacle.
On the new continent, after traveling for thousands of miles, the colonists of the Federation finally encountered a truly powerful native empire — the Sistine Empire!
After a battle, not only were the vanguard troops completely wiped out, but the native empire's army also razed all the colonies and ports on the new continent.
Even the governor of the Guardian Mansion, a 'Perfectionist', fell.
As soon as this news came out, the Mesopotamian Federation's newspapers were in an uproar, and the stock market plunged!
Bad news came one after another.
Not only did the Sistine Empire sweep through the colonies on the new continent, but it was also preparing to launch a counterattack against the Mesopotamian Federation.
It even received the support of a large number of colonies, and launched a grand counterattack plan.
Thousands of giant warships carrying hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and a large number of mysterious people guarded the fleet. It only took six months for them to reach the Federation's coastal waters.
Then … there was no then.
Chung Shen-soo personally killed three admirals of the Sistine Empire, crushed a group of 'Perfectionists', and sank one warship after another.
The grand plan to counterattack the mainland came to an end before it even started.
Not only that, but Chung Shen-soo also left to travel to the Sistine Empire.
To his disappointment, the Sistine Empire only had a population of tens of millions. Although it was the overlord of the new continent and had accumulated hundreds of 'Perfectionists', it didn't have a single 'Immortal'.
All the admirals and dukes that the empire relied on were like ants in front of him.
Even the heritage left by the royal family, which was said to be passed down by the 'Immortal', was not something that Chung Shen-soo cared about.
After this battle, the Sistine Empire surrendered, and the Mesopotamian Federation gradually gained the title of overlord of the world.
For Chung Shen-soo, all he felt was boredom.
"Could it be that … there is no second 'Immortal' in this world? Or are they not willing to see me? "
…
Flowers bloomed and withered, and leaves withered.
In the blink of an eye, another 50 years passed.
In the Spiritual Realm.
"So … the border of the Spiritual Realm is just a void?"
Chung Shen-soo stood in front of the void, thinking silently.
He felt that he might have found the end of the Spiritual Realm.
But it only brought him despair.
Because there was still no clue about the Ascension Altar.
His entire body was wrapped in white bandages and he wore a golden mask on his face.
It looked like a mummy wearing a mask. If it was in the real world, it would definitely be the villain of a horror novel.
At this moment, he sensed something. He suddenly sighed and returned to the real world.
Cocktail Castle.
A hundred years had passed, but the ivy on the walls of the ancient castle was still lush.
Thousands of servants, cooks, security guards, and butlers shuttled about, clustered around the well-dressed descendants of the Mojito family.
In the deepest part of the castle, in a huge bedroom.
An old woman was lying quietly on the velvet bed.
Her face was old and full of wrinkles. Her body was thin, and her eyes were blurry. She seemed to have reached the end of her life.
But her mind was still clear.
He could even hear some hushed discussions outside the door.
Lawyers, descendants, inheritances …
Everyone was waiting for the end of their lives.
At the last moment of her life, she called everyone away. She just wanted to be alone for a while.
Suddenly.
There was a formless fluctuation in the void, and a door opened.
An incomparably terrifying silhouette appeared.
If it was anyone else, they would probably think that it was an attack from some evil being.
The old woman smiled and said, "You're here?"
"Yes, I'm here."
Chung Shen-soo's voice came from under the golden mask.
"It seems like we haven't seen each other for many years, since the day Jones left … and then Carmela …"
Jennifer's face showed a look of longing.
"Sorry …"
Chung Shen-soo looked at this scene with a heavy heart.
He knew that Jennifer was not seriously injured or ill, but that it was her birthday.
After all, she was almost a hundred years old.
The 'Upgraded' could not extend one's life by much, unless they went through the Tower of Gold.
"Sister Carmela was very proud. Ten years ago, she announced that she would go to the Tower of Gold … and then, like Jones …"
Jennifer rambled on, "From that day on, I decided not to continue to upgrade and calmly welcome the arrival of death … Everyone will die eventually, and my life has been exciting enough. Thank you, brother … "
Chung Shen-soo looked at this scene and did not say anything.
Carmela was a proud girl, so when she was about to die of old age, it was normal for her to choose to become a 'Perfectionist'.
However, with so many 'Upgraded', how many of them could succeed?
Failure was a matter of course, success was a miracle!
He closed his eyes, as if recalling the innocent and adorable side of the two girls when they were young.
"I know … you also have your own difficulties. I don't know when it started, but you don't even want to let us see your face."
Jennifer's voice was low, and she spoke very slowly.
"I want … to see you one more time."
She struggled and finally said this sentence.
"Sure!"
Chung Shen-soo was silent for a moment, and then he took off the golden mask.
This mystical item and the bandage were his gains from his long exploration. It had a little effect on alleviating the curse, but only a little.
Beneath the mask was a face that was no different from before.
It was as if the long passage of time could not wash away the youth of an 'Immortal'.
"Li Wei … is so nice."
Jennifer looked at Li Wei's face and murmured. Suddenly, she closed her eyes.
At the corner of her eye, a teardrop slowly rolled down.
Chung Shen-soo was in a daze, and he rubbed his chin.
The black veins had already covered his entire body, and they were spreading up from his neck.
If Jennifer had paid close attention, she would have noticed that the veins not only covered his neck, but also behind his ears.
Just a little bit more and they were about to reach his face.
"Compared to a cursed longevity like me, perhaps death is a better ending? Haha … Haha … "
The corners of Chung Shen-soo's mouth curled up, and it became wider and wider.
"Who … Who's laughing in there?"
The door was pushed open, and a group of people rushed in.
However, they could only see an empty room, and Grandma Jennifer, who was lying peacefully on the bed …
…
Byron City.
Chung Shen-soo stood on the ruins of the Whisperer Bar.
At this time, the street had already been remodeled. There was now a coffee shop where the bar used to be.
He sat under a parasol like a masked mummy, but the people around him ignored him.
The waitress even enthusiastically served him a cup of milk tea.
"Is this … the perspective of an 'Immortal'?"
Chung Shen-soo looked at the city, the streets, and the flow of people that had changed beyond recognition, and he could not help but sigh.
"That's right, Your Excellency Li Wei."
A lonely response rang out.
The surrounding light suddenly dimmed, and an old man wearing a gray robe with a long beard that reached the ground walked out of the void.
"Isril?! You're finally willing to meet me? "
Chung Shen-soo was not surprised at all, and a dull voice came from under the mask.
