After Robert listened to his partner's analysis, he frowned and paced back and forth, scanning everything in the villa.
This was a typical American family. It was a two-story wooden house.
The lawn in front of the building was neatly trimmed. It was obvious that they loved life and did not look like people who lived their lives in decadence.
After he was done looking, he turned on his phone and logged into the mysterious website that Jim mentioned.
"As an ordinary person who was identified as having no cultivation aptitude, you're destined to never attain immortality through cultivation. If you're given 500 years of lifespan as the price, you won't be able to have any descendants. Will you agree or reject it?"
As soon as he entered, an option box popped up. Below it was a family like this, so why did he choose "Yes"?
He immediately said to his partner, "Jim, get someone to check their life track records."
Not long after, Jim passed him a tablet.
Robert picked up the tablet and scrolled through it.
"Two years ago, they were identified by XX Cultivation Consulting Company, they had no cultivation aptitude. One year and four months ago, their son was bullied at school by a classmate who cultivated King Kong Palm. Seven months ago, the male owner was suspected of suffering from a mental attack during his promotion period. He behaved abnormally and failed his promotion … "
"This is a typical case of a person who lacks cultivation aptitude and cannot cultivate basic techniques for self-defense. That's why they're suffering setbacks in the Era of Vitality," Jim commented.
"Yes, if they can't even cultivate basic techniques and have no basic resistance, in this era, it's as dangerous as a baby lacking immunity and directly exposed to an infection room." Robert agreed.
In a new era, those who knew how to cultivate and those who did not were as different as those who knew how to use a gun when they first entered this new continent. In fact, it was even more powerful.
Jim sighed after a while and said, "Unfortunately, the techniques we're promoting don't require cultivation aptitude or vitality breathing. In the early days, they only require a large amount of food. America may be lacking in other things, but we don't lack food and fatties …
"It's just that at the first stage of entry, you once said, 'If you're not talented, you need someone to guide you so that you can gather the physical strength in your body and form the Golden Core Seed'. Now, private companies charge exorbitant fees, and their family obviously doesn't have that much money. And for the free public service, the waiting list is ten years later. "
Robert shook his head and said, "That's only one of the reasons. More importantly, although this cultivation technique can be practiced by anyone, it's easy to learn but hard to master. Even at the beginner level, it'll take several years to reach the second level. Then, every time you advance to the next level, the time required will multiply. I think these people probably want to obtain 500 years of life before accumulating money and slowly practicing this cultivation technique. It's just that they didn't expect that the 500 years of lifespan they obtained was actually a scam … "
"It's not entirely a scam, Mr. Caucasian," a very polite voice said.
"Who is it?" Robert and Jim's expressions changed as they looked in the direction of the voice.
"Hehe, don't be nervous. I'm your mentor, your best friend." A golden river flowed in through the window of the villa, ignoring the obstruction of the glass.
"You, you're the Heart River God?" Robert was someone who paid attention to special affairs every day. He recognized the origin of this river at a glance.
"Hehe, you guessed right. It's me. I'm here to tell you the truth. "The Golden River flashed with golden light as it continued to speak.
For some reason, it did not transform into a human form. Perhaps it looked more dignified and mysterious this way.
"Please enlighten us, Great God." Robert and Jim immediately bowed respectfully.
"This family is also one of my believers. They mistakenly signed a soul contract with an evil spirit, and then entered a mental space where time flowed extremely slowly. They spent an illusory five hundred years there … Alas, pitiful, pitiful. They've forgotten that there's no such thing as a free thing in this world. Behind the free thing, there's always a scam! "The Golden River let out a long sigh.
Robert nodded deeply. Behind the free thing, there was always a scam. After falling into the scam, one would realize that the money spent was even more.
"So this is the truth behind the 500 years of lifespan!" Jim came to a sudden realization and said angrily.
"Yes, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Even in the Upper Realm, a pill that can increase a mortal's lifespan by 500 years is a peerless divine pill that can only be refined by immortals and buddhas. Qualified cultivators usually need to cultivate for decades and break through a few big realms before they can have 500 years of lifespan. This isn't like those fairy novels where you can become an immortal by eating an immortal pill. In reality, it's not easy at all. "The Golden River hummed.
"I see. Thank you for your guidance, River God." Robert said sincerely.
If the other party did not explain the whole story, he would have to spend a lot more time to find out the truth. During this period of time, countless people would have died.
"Let's quickly go through some channels and release an official announcement to expose the truth." Jim immediately said.
"Hehe, go ahead. I'll also tell those believers not to blindly listen to rumors. They must be down-to-earth and cultivate bit by bit. Only then can they have a chance to live forever." After the Golden River finished speaking, it turned into ripples in the air and disappeared.
"Farewell, Great God." Robert bowed respectfully again.
…
The truth about the "500 years of lifespan" was quickly announced on several major media websites and spread all over the world.
For a time, there were countless posts and heated comments under the related news on various websites.
"So it's equivalent to a dream. Fortunately, I only took a look and didn't agree." Someone felt lucky.
"Actually, this is not bad. This is also equivalent to you feeling that you've lived for 500 years. If you're really old or in a desperate situation, you can also choose this …" Someone objected.
"Isn't that equivalent to peace … What? And it's free. "
"Yeah, it doesn't sound too bad."
"A bunch of fools, they can't even see the true purpose of this sentence. They're playing elimination! Eliminating those with weak will, those who are not suitable for cultivation, and those who are not suitable for the Era of Vitality! "Those who really understood the situation commented straightforwardly.
After reading these comments, Robert was greatly surprised. He did not expect someone to see through the true purpose of this matter.
"Sure enough, there are powerhouses everywhere. The comments on the Internet are like the sand in the ocean. There will always be gold." Robert sighed. "We've just thought of this problem."
"Now the problem is how to find this devil. Why is he doing this, and what's in it for him?" Jim frowned.
"It's not easy to find him. Even the Venerable One with the Invincible Divine Eye is helpless. Obviously, this person is very well-hidden. He can also make people dream through the Internet. A dream. His supernatural power is also amazing. " Robert said helplessly. He was now having a headache. The nickname "Robert the Great" was not wrong.
"Why don't we ask the River God? He's spread all over the world and has a wide number of believers. He should have some information." Jim suddenly had an idea.
"Hmm, that's true." Robert understood that the River God would not do good things for no reason.
Previously, he came to tell them about the news. On one hand, the devil was attacking his believers. On the other hand, he definitely wanted to expand his influence in America.
After all, America had more than 300 million educated, high-quality people. They were rich in human resources.
For a cultivator of the path of godhood, it was a fat piece of meat.
"Alright, let's first check the method of worship for this River God. We'll invite him out as usual." Robert said.
Not long after, a simple incense burner table was set up.
The two westerners, one black and one white, started to burn incense, bow, and salute according to China's customs and practices …
Not long after, the Golden River appeared on the incense burner table.
"I already know why you're here. I do know a thing or two about the devil behind this. Calling him a devil is based on your world's standards. In the Upper Realm, he's a genuine disciple of a famous sect, a Taoist saint. "The Golden River said calmly.
"Uh, someone like him is actually a saint?"
"Haha, the standards of the two worlds are different. The Upper Realm is a world of cultivation. Everything is for cultivation, and power is supreme. Over here, the people are the main path. No matter what, you have to put on an act on the surface. "The Golden River laughed.
"Ah, River God, please tell us where that person is. We need to reason with him and ask him what his intentions are." Robert's heart turned cold, but he forced himself to remain calm.
"Hmm, that person is at …" The River God said a location and disappeared.
"Hmph, this so-called River God has ulterior motives. Last time, he definitely knew who the devil was, but he didn't tell us. He wanted us to beg him first …" Jim said resentfully.
"Hehe, you've gone too far. It doesn't owe us anything. The only reason it could tell us so easily is probably because of the Venerable Dragon God's golden face. Otherwise, why would it be so polite to weaklings like us?" Robert shook his head.
"…" Jim was speechless. He then asked curiously, "Why didn't he just tell the Venerable Dragon God and let him get rid of the devil?"
"He probably wants to stay out of this?" Robert said uncertainly. "This shows that this devil has a powerful background. Let's hurry and find the Venerable One, or we might be in danger."
After the two finished their discussion, they immediately booked plane tickets to China.
