Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens
Chapter 195 The End of Life
"The world was in chaos at first, until the goddess awakened from her long sleep."
"She created everything in the world with her great divine power, and countless creatures were born in her hands."
Luke carefully checked the Goddess Codex and read out the contents of the Creation chapter bit by bit.
All goddess magic comes from the Goddess Codex and has been interpreted by countless sages from ancient to modern times. However, the current development progress is less than 3%.
"Elves are the closest children to the goddess, with their long lives, profound wisdom and watching eyes."
"Human beings are the most beloved children of the goddess. Their short life span is exchanged for abundant emotions, and the spark of inspiration is born from this."
"Demons are the most despised children of the goddess. They are the gathering of all the filth in the world, cold-blooded and cruel, ruthless and cunning."
Terela took over Luke's words with a smooth and emotional tone. She put the food on the table and looked at Luke with her head propped up.
"You also believe in the goddess, and I've never seen you pray?" Luke asked, putting down the holy book.
"It's not about faith, I've only heard it all since childhood." Terela smiled lightly. The wrinkles on his face seemed to have faded a bit, "Only a monk who believes in the existence of the goddess from the bottom of his heart and prays like a monk can be considered a believer... You seem to be very interested in holy scriptures recently."
Luke put down the holy book and said with a normal expression: "I just look through it when I'm bored."
How to extend lifespan has been his topic a long time ago, but no matter how he experiments, there is no progress.
Restricted by ethics and conditions, humanoid immortal species such as elves and dwarves do not have any books recording their body structures or theories of immortality.
Among all the immortal species, only the body structure of the demons has been recorded, but it is almost non-existent. The bodies of the demons are very strange, as if they are made of pure and stable magic power. They will turn into nothingness when they die, and they will become nothing if they are injured too much. It will collapse, and its body will appear to be no different from a human being.
Luke had tried to secretly add a little bit of his own flesh and blood to the food and feed it to Telela, but obviously elves were not a panacea, and the secret of immortality was not here.
He can only accept that he does not understand himself.
After thinking for a long time, Luke understood that it was very likely that there would be no way to extend life span in this world.
After all, the original work is a drama that explores life, time and emotions. The legendary goddess who created the world most likely did not consider the possibility of changing the life span of species at the beginning of creation.
Since lifespan cannot be extended, Luke can only consider time magic.
But problems still come one after another.
All concepts are created by human beings to facilitate understanding of the world. Time is unimaginable and has no theoretical basis to support it. The only thing that can be used as a reference is the "Bird of Time" in the Goddess's sacred scripture that has not yet been deciphered.
In the original work, after the Goddess Monument is activated, it will be "archived". By reactivating it, you can travel to the recording point. However, "The Bird of Time Chapter" hides the magic to escape from the recording point.
But regardless of the fact that this kind of magic to read archives is very rigid, it took the brave Simmel fifty years to decipher "The Bird of Time Chapter", and the Goddess Monument is also a consumable item that is destroyed once used, which can provide a lot of information for research. The help is approximately zero.
This was a direction that no one had ever explored before, and even Fulian, who had lived for a thousand years, had no theory to help him.
Magic cannot be created without imagination and without theory.
There had been no progress for many years, and seeing Terela getting older and older, he felt that he was gradually becoming anxious, especially after the conversation with Amir that day.
When Amir passes away, Luke will be sad, but he will not be particularly demanding. He has a complete and happy life, and even if he dies, he will sleep peacefully surrounded by his descendants, wife and children.
Terela was different. She chose herself, an immortal species, as her partner. She lost the ability to be a mother and spent her whole life on him. Luke had to try to keep her, even if there was a slim chance.
Unless Terela wants to leave voluntarily and without any nostalgia.
…
After lunch, Terela half-reclined on the bed to rest. As she got older, she didn't like to move very much. She was already sixty years old, and her energy had declined severely.
"Amir has been ill recently, would you like to go over and see him?"
Hearing this, Lu Ke put down the scripture and said with a serious face: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Amir is sixty-eight years old. He has not had any serious illness in recent years, but has had many minor illnesses. The last time Luke saw him, his eyes even felt much darker, so whenever he was sick, Luke would see him every time.
"It's not serious. Sally just informed me."
"I'll go take a look and I'll be back in a few days." Luke hesitated, "Why don't you... rest at home?"
Terela no longer likes to go out in recent years. Occasionally she would ask Luke to handle something, but thinking of some bad possibilities, Luke shook his head.
"No, you'd better go with me. We'll choose a slower and more comfortable carriage."
Terela probably guessed what Luke was thinking and refused with a smile, "You can go alone. Don't worry about me. I'm in good health. It's not that time yet."
"...I'll be back soon."
Luke went out and carefully asked his servants to accompany him at all times. After arranging things at home, he turned back, touched Terela's tarnished hair, and repeated it.
"I'll be back soon."
Terela nodded, watching the elf disappear around the corner with somewhat cloudy eyes, and then leaned on the bedside tiredly.
She could sense Luke's restless heart under his calm expression, just as Luke could sense hers. When two people live together for a long enough time, they will feel that they are connected, as if they have become an extension of each other's body.
In recent years, she has embraced the sunshine outdoors, followed a healthy and regular schedule, ate fresh fruits and vegetables, and insisted on doing some light housework in the fields, just to live longer.
I don't know if I can live another ten years.
Trela sighed and suddenly heard a strange male voice.
"Please rest assured, you can live ten years. This is the future I see."
A figure appeared in the room at some point. The man's body was covered in a cloak, but the horns on his head had exposed his identity.
Demon!
The demon took off his cloak, revealing his handsome face and indifferent and ruthless eyes, then bowed slightly to Trela.
"Nice to meet you, Ms. Trela."
"I am Shulahat, the deputy of the devil - the all-knowing Shulahat."
...
It was late at night when he arrived at the renovated Campbell Mansion. In recent years, this place has become unfamiliar to Luke. The house where he has lived for half his life has been demolished and rebuilt, and it has changed faster than people.
Luke knocked on the door, and a young stranger opened the door.
He was the new butler who replaced Charles two years ago, just like Charles replaced Arnold.
Luke didn't remember his name, and even the names of Anrui's two children. He didn't want to know more people, at least at this stage.
"Welcome home, Master Luke."
Luke nodded casually, walked through the corridor, and went straight to Amir's room, and saw the old man sleeping on the bed.
He didn't wake Amir up, but just stood quietly in front of the bed, looking at his old appearance, as if he wanted to engrave him in his mind.
Time passed slowly, and Amir was very surprised to see Luke after waking up, and his spirits were much better.
"When did you come? Why didn't anyone tell me!"
"Just arrived a while ago."
Luke moved a chair and sat in front of him, "You are so old, Amir."
"Because it has been a long, long time."
Amir laughed softly, "When I get old, I like to recall the past over and over again. Every time I see you, I always feel that the past few decades of life are just a long dream, but looking in the mirror will pull me back to reality."
He suddenly glared at Luke, "Why don't you get old, you bastard? If we were both old, I would definitely be more handsome than you now, and Mi Wei would definitely choose me."
"Mi Wei?" Luke was stunned for a moment before he reacted, a little bit amused.
"You have been married and had children for decades, but you still miss that woman. Believe it or not, I will tell Sally what you said."
"It was just a joke, and you actually believed it."
Amir laughed loudly, his laughter was clear and hearty, as if he had returned to his once energetic youth.
Slowly, his laughter became dry and hollow, and then he looked at Luke with a look mixed with nostalgia and pain.
"You kept your promise. You said you would come earlier, so you came earlier."
Luke had a bad feeling in his heart, "What do you mean by that?"
Amir's eyes showed some regret, and then slowly became relieved, "I couldn't catch up with my mother's departure, but you could catch up with me. You are always better than me in every way."
"If you feel unwell, go to the monks, don't tell me these useless things." Luke stood up and paced back and forth a little irritably, turned his head and stared at Amir and asked.
"Didn't Sally say it was just a minor illness?"
"It's really just a minor illness, it's been cured, but my life is coming to an end."
Amir was quite calm at this time, "Don't be sad, brother."
"Family, friendship, love, noble status, outstanding achievements, many people can't get two of them, but I have all of them."
"You should be happy for me."
Luke covered his face and breathed heavily for a few times. After a moment of silence, he looked at Amir and asked softly: "Do you have any wishes you want to realize?"
"No, I have lived a happy life."
Amir answered affirmatively and smiled at Luke, "Just accompany me to the end of this journey."
After a moment of silence, Luke nodded.
"Okay."
In the next two days, Amir and Luke talked a lot about themselves.
He talked very detailed and clear, from childhood to old age, from the mansion to the army, and then back to the mansion, and repeated it the second time after finishing it once.
He actually still kept the old mottled table and installed it on the renovated roof of the mansion as a secret base. At night, he would force Luke to sit on it and tell him stories with great energy.
"At that time, in the Sword Town of the Northern Kingdoms, several of us went to draw swords together, but we couldn't draw them. At first, everyone was laughing, but later, no one could laugh anymore."
"It's very cold in the Orphen Mountains. People get sick every day. There are beautiful icicle cherry trees there that can cure diseases. We took turns to pick them."
"Anrui was very noisy when he was a child, right? After you and Trela left, I beat him many times. He is still a little afraid of me. He feels that I am not good at teaching children, but the child is not bad now. If I am given another chance, he may do better."
The voice in his ear became smaller and smaller, and finally stopped at some point.
Luke looked at the bright moon, and the moonlight through a layer of water stains stretched and deformed in his vision. He remembered Lanis's teachings.
She said that parting is a compulsory course for elves.
"You should face all those who leave calmly."
