Chapter 645

"Since life has a limit, what about non-life?"

This was the hypothesis that the high priestess had proposed for transcendence.

Based on this hypothesis, the so-called [Great Death Spirit Body] had appeared.

To transform a life that contained extreme negative emotions into an existence that was different from any other life in the present day, so that it could naturally ignore the limits of life, break through the limits of life, and attain transcendence … such an idea was, without a doubt, whimsical.

However, just as Danas had said, the world's [Principle] would not allow such an existence to appear.

Could it be that once a stone became a spirit, it would no longer be a life?

In the hypothesis that the high priestess had proposed, the existence that transformed into a Great Death Spirit Body definitely could not be a life. Otherwise, it would not be able to naturally transcend. However, transcendence was a concept that appeared when the limits of life were broken through. If a non-life did not even have the concept of levels, how could it transcend?

Could a lifeless stone transcend?

And if a stone had a life, could it be a non-life?

Therefore, the hypothesis that the high priestess proposed was whimsical, but it was just whimsical. The existence itself was contradictory, and it would not work at all.

The evidence was that no matter if it was Limjow or Lenny, as the owners of the [Great Death Spirit Body], both of them had levels.

Lenny was at the limit level, and Limjow was at the legendary level. If the latter could continue to grow, he would reach the limit level sooner or later.

However, their limits were only at the limit level. It was impossible for them to transcend naturally like the hypothesis that the high priestess proposed.

Furthermore, because of their special characteristics, after they transformed into a Great Death Spirit Body, they would absorb a large amount of [Spiritual Essences] to increase their power. Therefore, before they reached the limit level, they would not be stuck at any level. However, once they reached the limit level, they would usher in the true meaning of the limit, and they would definitely not be able to transcend.

This was the result of the high priestess's whimsical thinking.

She wanted to create a non-life that could naturally transcend, but she didn't know that such a method would cause the Great Spirit of Death to contradict each other. Not only did it have the concept of levels like other life forms, but because it was created with non-life as its purpose, it was destined to not be able to break through the limits left for life forms to break through.

This was the existence known as the [Great Death Spirit Body], a contradictory and flawed hypothesis.

This was also the high priestess's limit.

She was destined to not be able to achieve her goal.

However, as the owner of the [Great Death Spirit Body], Lenny had found another way to achieve a breakthrough.

That was, to use external forces.

"The Lustrous Branch, the original substance of the world. It is the crystallization of the remaining power that the Supreme God Omnys used to create the world."

"At that time, the Overgod Omnys had only created the world. She hadn't had the time to create anything else."

"Including the law that allows this world to have its own laws and order, thus allowing it to exist — [Truth].

"In other words, the [Law] had been left behind the law and order of the world.

It was born to be able to break away from the shackles of [Truth]. It was something that should not have existed, a remnant of the world that was accidentally left behind.

If one could obtain it, then to a certain extent, one could obtain the power to break free from the restrictions of [Truth].

For Lenny, who had the [Great Death Spirit Body] and could not transcend the shackles of [Law], it was the only thing that could save her life.

"Only by obtaining the [Great Death Spirit Body] and using the power of the [Great Death Spirit Body] could the [Great Death Spirit Body] break free from the shackles of [Law] and perfect itself. Naturally, it would have the power of transcendence, right?"

Danas told him everything about Lenny.

"For this purpose, Her Highness planned this plan for ten years."

"Find the well-wishers of the Goddess of Destiny."

"Carve the magic circle for the sacrificial ritual on the ground of the Empire."

"Finally, use the power of the ritual to activate the authority of the Goddess of Destiny, manipulate the weather, and make the premonition come true."

"Only then can the [Lustrous] branch appear and help Her Highness transcend."

At this point, Danas applauded.

"I have to say, Your Highness's chess play is very admirable. In the entire Three Realms, apart from Your Highness, the only other person with such talent is the Moon Demon Sela."

The Moon Demon Sela was known for being wise, the leader and sovereign of the Demons. Her mind was something that even the Protoss feared. Even the Goddess of Destiny Lidas, who was known as the strongest, would sometimes be fooled by her. Danas actually compared Lenny with the Demon Sovereign. It was a very high evaluation.

However, Lenny did not seem to be too interested in all this.

"Aren't you the same? Little brat from the Old Demons Faction. " Lenny said expressionlessly, "You went through so much trouble to find me, and even found my maidservant with the intention of working with her. It's not for the great cause of the [Primordial Demon], but for transcendence, right?"

The smile on Danas' face slowly disappeared.

However, in just a second, Danas recovered.

"Who doesn't want to transcend?" Danas said with an ethereal voice, "Since ancient times, the only beings who could truly transcend themselves are the Brave. The other transcendental beings are all born strong, and are blessed by the heavens."

Compared to these existences, Danas was undoubtedly unfortunate.

"I've said it before. I have neither talent nor talent. Not to mention unique skills, I can't even learn a single normal skill. My level is also pitifully low, and I was even abandoned for a while."

"If I hadn't picked up a magic book in the Barren Land of the Demon Realm that couldn't be any more ordinary, and discovered that I actually had talent in this area after trying it out, I might have been forgotten there long ago and become an insignificant dead ant."

"Ever since then, I've been thinking, 'Can't I do it?'"

Danas muttered to himself.

"Can't I become a strong person?"

"Can't I make others look at me differently?"

"Can't I stand at the peak?"

"Can't I transcend?"

Each and every one of those self-questions was met with a single word — 'No'.

That was why Danas began to plan everything for himself.

"Your Highness has planned for a thousand years, while I have planned for ten. In terms of the weight of time, I am far inferior to you."

"But just like what I told Lady Mara before, to have a place for us in the future, we have to gamble everything."

"And Lady Mara has already done it before us."

His words finally stirred some waves in Lenny's heart.

The Princess of Erei was silent for a while before she sighed.

"I've told her before. She isn't the true owner of the Great Astral Form, and using the power of the Great Astral Form through [Symbiosis] is already her limit. If she wants to transcend with the Lustrous Branch and activate the true potential of the Great Astral Form, her body would definitely not be able to handle it."

[Symbiosis] could indeed allow people to share levels, skills, and even lives. However, [Symbiosis] itself was only a skill. How could it borrow the power of transcendence?

After transcendence, the concept of levels and skills would disappear. Only unique skills that deviated from the norm would remain, becoming the power that a living being relied on the most.

[Symbiosis] was a normal skill. Even if it was rare, difficult to learn, powerful, and high-leveled, it was still a regular skill. It couldn't compare to unique skills.

With that in mind, Mara could use [Symbiosis] to obtain the power of the [Great Death Spirit Body]. However, it was impossible to obtain the power of transcendence.

Not to mention, Mara wasn't the true owner of the Great Astral Form. He couldn't transcend naturally. If he forcefully activated the power of the Great Astral Form after obtaining the Lustrous Branch and used a transcendent ability, not to mention his body, even his existence itself would collapse.

Even if Lenny shared her life with Mara, Mara wouldn't be able to recover from such a collapse.

In other words, if that happened, Mara would definitely die.

However, Mara still chose to do so.

"She didn't want me to be exposed. She didn't want me to face the Evil God Lilith and the Hero. She was worried that I would be attacked by the Holy Sword, which was why she took the initiative to take this mission. She appeared with my identity as a Shadow Warrior. According to the plan, she obtained the Lustrous Branch and used [Symbiosis] to transfer the Lustrous Branch to me."

[Symbiosis] was a skill. Apart from sharing power and life, it could also allow them to move at high speed, achieving an effect similar to teleportation.

That was why Mara planned all of this.

"My original intention was for her to transfer the Lustrous Branch to me as soon as she obtained it. However, she still used the Lustrous Branch on her own in the end. She was even killed by the Hero before she collapsed."

Lenny sighed faintly.

On the other hand, Danas didn't feel sad about Mara's death at all.

"After seeing the Hero's power, I always thought that her choice was actually quite wise."

This was what Danas thought.

Without a doubt, the power Shien displayed this time had reached the Transcendent level.

If Mara didn't go all out and bear everything at the cost of her own life, the Hero and the Evil God Lilith would have worked together. Even if Lenny obtained the Lustrous Branch, she wouldn't have been able to leave the capital easily.

Now, no one was paying attention to all of this. It was a good result.

"I want to ask, Your Highness." Danas stared at Lenny and said, "Will Your Highness fulfill the alliance I formed with Miss Mara?"

This was the reason why Danas came here.

"You want me to support you?"

Lenny looked at Danas.

"I have no choice." Danas said faintly, "If I can receive Your Highness' support, the success rate of my Transcendence path will greatly increase. I can't refuse such a temptation."

"… Interesting." Lenny squinted her eyes and looked at Danas for a while. She also glanced at the Extreme Level Demonic Gladiators beside Danas. In the end, she smiled and said, "If that's the case, I'll help you."

"Thank you." Danas bowed to Lenny.

After that, Danas slowly opened his mouth.

"Then, please come with me."

"The first Princess of Mithra Kingdom, the Hero's Wife."

"Lord Lenny Mithra."

Lenny's words made Lenny laugh.

It was a cold laugh.

…

"…"

La Xia looked at the empty bed and didn't say a word.

"Sigh …"

Lésia stood beside La Xia. She wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say. In the end, she sighed.

Both of them returned to their rooms.

However, the person who should be lying on the bed had already disappeared.
