The fifth element had long been peeled off from the captured aether head. It was actually his pineal gland, the two fused into one.
Eating the pineal gland was equivalent to fusing with the fifth element, making one's soul immortal.
If one didn't have children, this immortality was extremely terrifying. Not being able to reincarnate meant that one's mind would experience endless suffering that surpassed the limits of one's senses.
Corpses would be decomposed by bacteria and maggots, digested by insects, and even devoured by higher predators, until the extinction of humans, the destruction of Earth, the disappearance of the sun, and the end of the universe.
The particles from an immortal's corpse would forever transmit all the experiences of the past thousand, ten thousand, and hundred million years to the immortal.
Eternity was a terrifying word. Any state that was labeled eternity was an unimaginable experience.
Just trying to fathom the despair in the realm of imagination was enough to crush even the strongest human.
Ke Long had mentioned several times that he wanted to try to become an immortal.
Of course, it wasn't that he was stubborn, nor was it that he wanted to live forever. Ke Long, who had already used the Golden Apple, would definitely die. Even if he became an immortal, it would be impossible for him to live in the material world.
It could be said that becoming an immortal when the Golden Apple was about to obliterate him was equivalent to directly experiencing the most terrifying consequences of becoming an immortal.
However, he only did this because he wanted to extend the state of origin perception forever and break through to the realm of Akasha Ghost.
This possibility was too illusory, and the other arbitrators didn't agree at all.
However, Ke Long was unwilling to give up. At this moment, he actually asked Mo Qiong to steal it for him. He wanted to directly transform himself into an immortal in the last moments of his life.
"Why bother? Once you become an immortal, there'll be no medicine for regret, "Mo Qiong said uncomfortably.
Ke Long smiled. "But if I become an immortal, perhaps we can end the era of containment."
Mo Qiong said solemnly, "I've never believed in immortal. This is a level that Mo Zi imagined. How is it possible to change the rules and settings of all things with one's mind?"
"Even if there really is an immortal, I don't believe that one's origin perception can reach that level. Origin perception has always allowed people to know some indescribable information. How can one break through the limit of perception and directly observe and distort the universe's origin?"
Ke Long said, "Actually, I don't believe it either … Well, I believe it a little."
"Then why …" Mo Qiong was puzzled.
Ke Long smiled. "Sky Ghost is the highest pursuit. I've already mentally prepared myself for the fact that I won't be able to become one. But apart from that, I have another goal. "
"Settle for the next best thing?" Mo Qiong was dumbfounded. If it wasn't for the Heavenly Ghost, what else could it be?
Ke Long said seriously, "Listen, what I'm about to say is top secret."
Mo Qiong's expression froze. He didn't know why Ke Long was telling him this, but he just needed to listen carefully.
Ke Long said with a smile, "The period of the second generation president was the most difficult period for the Blue and White Club. In a situation where the entire world is your enemy, even if you have the resolve to fail and become the greatest criminal in human history, it is impossible for you to rise up just like that. "
Mo Qiong nodded. He had always wanted to ask, in such a hopeless situation, how did the second generation president, with only a dozen people, manage to revive the Blue and White Society?
Ke Long recalled: "My teacher once told me that the second generation president accidentally came into contact with an anomaly that seemed to know everything. Every once in a while, they would communicate for a short period of time, and they would often ignore each other for a year or two. But as long as it replied to the user, it would be able to answer almost any question.
"Most of what he said has been proven to be completely correct. Even the characteristics of the Omega class anomaly were explained to the best of their abilities. Later on, the second generation president even directly asked what the containment method for an anomaly could be, and it answered every single question.
"It was like a God."
Mo Qiong was shocked. Directly knowing an anomaly's weakness, or its containment method, that was amazing!
Even if it could only be used once in a while, as long as it was used at the right time, it would be able to suppress one or two Delta or Omega class anomalies. That would be an unimaginable and heaven-defying achievement.
In fact, that anomaly might even be able to answer the question of where an undiscovered and extremely dangerous anomaly was.
Then, the second generation president would be able to rush there and deal with it.
With all these factors, it could be said that after suppressing or destroying several powerful anomalies, the Blue and White Club's desperate situation had been turned around. It wasn't just because of the increase in reputation.
It was also because of the apocalyptic anomaly that no country dared to use weapons of mass destruction to bombard the Blue and White Club.
Because of that, the Blue and White Club had a lot of room to maneuver and escape the danger of being wiped out at any time, which gave them the capital to slowly revive.
Otherwise, as soon as the Blue and White Club's base was discovered, the military would simply charge in and destroy it as a terrorist organization. If they wanted to contain it for the sake of saving people, they would be treated as bad intentions and be hunted down by the government. That would be a hopeless situation.
Mo Qiong was shocked: "There's such an anomaly? That's even more powerful than the Golden Apple, but what's the price? What does it look like? "
Ke Long smiled bitterly: "I don't know … the second generation president was very wary of that anomaly, so he kept a lot of secrets about it to himself. We don't even know what it looks like"
"All we know is that after the second generation president died, he hid it in his office and told us not to look for it unless absolutely necessary. He also told us to only ask for information that would help us with the current containment crisis. If it said anything that wasn't related to the current crisis, we were to not believe it.
"In other words, he told us to only treat that thing as an anomaly detector and not to ask or believe anything else. After the second generation president died, the Great Arbiters and Evangelists immediately went to the office to look for it, but they couldn't find anything at all. "
Mo Qiong was speechless. Didn't they say not to use it unless absolutely necessary? But in the blink of an eye, the Great Arbiters had already gone to look for it …
He said: "It's because the person they're looking for doesn't meet the conditions to use it, right? That way, even if it's in the office, no one would know which one it is "
"That's right. Later on, we found out that the condition was the 'Blue and White Club President', because the third generation president found that anomaly in his office. But strangely, after using it twice, the third generation president chose not to tell us what it was. He even said that the second generation president was right, but that he was probably an extremely clever liar. His words were often mixed with unverifiable truths, so the people who used it later had to have their own ability to tell the truth, they couldn't just believe whatever the anomaly told them "Ke Long said.
Mo Qiong immediately said: "I believe in the two club presidents, both of them have their own ability to tell the truth. You said it yourself, as club presidents, their decisions are often extremely important, affecting the fate of humanity and even the entire world. Either they're the saviors of the world, or they're the greatest sinners. If both of them said that, there must be a reason behind it "
Ke Long replied: "Of course I understand, but before the third generation president died, he requested that all future club presidents are not allowed to ask a single question"
Mo Qiong tilted his head: "What question …"
Ke Long's gaze became profound: "The ultimate containment measure for all absolute characteristics …"
