Chapter 706: Immortal Realm
"Our deal is only one of the reasons. In fact, Yanachins also has her own concerns. She needs to consider the overall situation of Danaira. I wonder if you are willing to listen to it?"
Vanessa seemed not to notice the change in his expression and continued.
"I'd like to hear more about it." Ivan bowed slightly.
"You, I don't know whether to say you are lucky or unlucky. Do you know that you are being targeted by many big shots in the star world? They are all old guys who are not easy to mess with."
"Because of the legacy of the wise old man?"
Hearing this, Ivan's heart moved. He thought of An Qiqi and Mr. Dongxi who had a strange attitude not long ago.
The only thing about him that is worth looking at and remembering is probably the wisdom and power inherited from that wise old man.
As for other aspects, in the eyes of the big figures at the ancestor level, they are not worth mentioning at all.
"It seems you are not completely ignorant."
Vanessa nodded slowly and said with a little emotion: "But you may not know how high that wise old man has reached. He is the only sub-transcendent who is known and recognized by people and has touched the realm of immortality."
"The realm of immortality?" Ivan asked doubtfully.
“Level 6 Throne, Level 7 Supreme, Level 8 Ancestor, all beings at these levels have their own limits. At most, they will be exhausted in a hundred thousand years and annihilated in the erosion of time. Even the Mother of All Things in our great plane has an upper limit.
If one wants to achieve eternal immortality, one must break free from the constraints of time and achieve transcendence, a level that is defined as the 'realm of immortality'."
Vanessa explained in more detail.
It turns out that there is a higher realm behind the realm of the ancestors, which requires transcending time, and the wise old man is the only one who can touch immortality.
Ivan was shocked when he heard this.
"But I am not the only inheritor of the wise old man. Why should they focus on a small character like me?"
"How do you know they're only looking at you?"
“Could it be——”
“In fact, you are wrong about one thing. The inheritors of the wise old man’s teachings are not the kind that appear everywhere. Instead, they appear from generation to generation. The number is very small, at most one or two in each generation.
And those people in front of you were either killed or turned into puppets or collections, and then replaced by others.
You can also think that those old guys staring at you are, like you, the inheritors of the wise old man, but their identity as inheritors was stolen."
After Vanessa's explanation, Ivan finally understood.
No wonder there are so few inheritances of wisdom and power in the vast starry sky. He has explored so many worlds through Luotianmen, but has never encountered any of them.
Except for the Prophet's Book, all other wisdom creations on him were obtained from various important figures through various means.
The fundamental reason was that it had been targeted by someone and had been divided up.
Fortunately, his own wisdom and power were obtained through academic advancement, which is invisible and no one can rob it away. I just don’t know if it was deliberately arranged by the wise old man.
“The reason why those people didn’t take action against you now is not because they are merciful, but because their past experience tells them that inheritors who have not grown up are of little value and cannot help them obtain the most core power of inheritance.
They are all waiting, waiting for you to grow step by step, until you meet the minimum requirements of the core inheritance. Do you understand now?"
Vanessa paused for a moment, giving him enough time to think, before continuing.
"Excuse me for asking, Da Tianmu, why do you know so much about it?" Ivan couldn't help but ask.
"Of course I inquired about this specifically for you. I didn't know until I inquired. I was really shocked. Do you still remember what I said before? My choice is still the same as before. I am willing to accompany you to deal with all enemies."
Vanessa answered calmly and did not forget to state her decision.
"Then what is their minimum level of strength requirement?" Ivan asked again.
"You ask me, but who should I ask? I have no direct contact with those people, and they won't spread it everywhere. When the time is right, they will naturally find you. With the strength of those people, you can't escape." Vanessa said.
Ivan was silent.
Indeed, An Qiqi from the fairy world and Mr. Dong Xi from the Xigong Chamber of Commerce alone are enough to chase him and leave him nowhere to escape, not to mention the countless other ancestors.
It is normal for Danala's Datianmu to choose to give in.
"Aren't you afraid?"
"Haha, I, Vanessa, am in such a miserable state now. Why not take a gamble? I bet that the successor carefully selected by the wise old man can overcome all difficulties and reach the highest position in the galaxy."
Vanessa stared at him with burning eyes. At this moment, she did not look like an extremely wise mother of all things, but a gambler who was ready to put all her chips on the table.
Ivan suddenly remembered a characteristic of the Ash Plane: to survive in the face of death.
"Well, after all this talk, just give me a promise. Are you willing to come to my side? I will help you become the supreme ruler of a region, and then achieve a higher level of ancestor. You and I will work together."
Taking this opportunity, Vanessa invited him again, and her words sounded a little aggressive.
Ivan has always been a decisive person. This time, he hesitated rarely. He had some grudges against Vanessa. Just think about the Burning Shadow who had guarded the ashes for countless years.
And Janaqinz's silent separation made him deeply realize the cruelty of the mother of all things.
"How about this, you think about it again. You don't have to leave in a hurry. Stay here with me to recuperate. When you are fully recovered, we can have a good talk."
Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, Vanessa's face flashed a trace of disappointment, but she didn't press him further.
"Row."
Ivan did not refuse.
No matter what, he needs a place to go, and this place might be the Ash Plane.
But before making a decision, he had to sort out his thoughts carefully. With bad news coming one after another, he was actually very confused.
……
Not long after parting with Vanessa, Ivan appeared in the gray world of the ash plane.
While sorting out his thoughts and adjusting his body, he was touring the broken world before him. After the Burning Shadow was removed, the Gray Realm was indeed slowly getting better, and emerald green began to appear on the gray earth.
This improvement certainly cannot satisfy Vanessa's requirements.
Unconsciously, Ivan arrived not far from a city on a mountain, and the three words "Fire Fury City" were clearly visible.
He flashed and walked on the streets of the city. There was no doubt that this was a city that could not be any smaller, and every part of the city revealed a sense of shabbyness.
On the streets, people wearing patched coarse linen clothes were everywhere, and they ate hard round cakes that were just enough to fill their stomachs.
Few of these people looked sad, and most of them lived very comfortably, because the surroundings were becoming more and more peaceful, and there had been no shadow monsters attacking the city for many days.
"He is so easy to please. Harper is doing a great job as the city lord."
As Ivan spoke, the people around him realized that there was a mysterious man in luxurious clothes beside him. From his temperament and aura, it was clear that he was not an ordinary person. The residents around him didn't dare to look at him any more, nor did they dare to approach him to talk.
One resident was smart and went secretly to report, moving very quietly at first but then running faster and faster.
Ivan could naturally sense this action, but he ignored it and walked towards the depths of the city at a leisurely pace.
"Lord of Fire and Fury, there is - there is a mysterious man who looks scary and suddenly appeared here. Do you want to go and take a look?"
"What mysterious man, did he attack you?"
"No, no, it just looks a little scary, I I--"
"Alright, I will go meet the mysterious person you mentioned and see who it is that could scare you like this."
There are not so many rules in a small city, and Harper, as the city lord, rarely puts on airs with his subjects.
Having been the city lord for decades, he has reached middle age. He has become mature and steady, but rather idle. After all, a small isolated city does not have so many trivial matters to deal with.
After listening to the reports from the people under his rule, Harper, with a team of guards, trotted along the street in a heroic and high-spirited manner.
Wherever they passed, people saluted them.
Not long after, looking at the tall and straight figure that didn't fit in with the crowd, Harper was suddenly stunned. This was the great god he had been dreaming about. He seemed a little different from before.
"The Lord of Fire and Fury, that's him, it looks like--"
"Oh!"
The commoner who was leading the way couldn't wait to point in that direction and shout, but was kicked away by Harper who reacted quickly. He flew two or three meters before falling to the ground.
The man was at a loss as to what to do. He only knew that he was kicked by the city lord. It was a hard kick, but not enough to cause serious injury.
"Great God, little Harper greets the Great God, little Harper greets the Great God, little Harper greets the Great God, little Harper greets--"
Harper ignored him and ran over, then knelt on the ground in full view of everyone, banging his head one after another, showing how excited he was.
Seeing this scene, the surrounding subjects were dumbfounded, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, imitating the city lord's behavior, fearing that it was too late.
"Harper, I've stressed to you that greeting once is enough. Saying more than once is meaningless."
"Yes, yes, yes, I lost my composure, please don't mind it."
After hearing the words of the God, Harper quickly got up from the ground. He was as obedient as he could be, and there was no trace of the calm demeanor of the Lord of Wrath before.
People around were knocking their heads and bleeding, but they didn't stop.
Seeing this, Ivan waved his hand, and a wisp of warm wind blew by. The people around him stood up involuntarily, and even the wounds on their heads were healed.
This scene really shocked many people, and many people thought to themselves that what the Lord of Fire and Wrath said was right, and the one in front of them was a great god.
By the time the others reacted, Ivan was no longer on the street. He appeared at the highest place in the city, a small open-air terrace on top of the city lord's castle, with Harper, a trainee member of the Black Star Army.
"Earth Knight?"
"Little Harper has never been able to slack off."
"You are a city lord after all. After all these years, you haven't started a family yet?"
"I I I-I haven't yet."
Seeing his hesitant look, Ivan remembered that Harper was a person who hated the Gray World very much and had always hoped that one day he could leave here and go to a beautiful new world.
This idea is just a bit silly.
In fact, what Ivan didn’t know was that before meeting this God, Harper had never had a comfortable day. Living was like waiting for death in pain.
Until I met him.
Harper gained power, knowledge, and learned how to understand the world around him. Everything seemed so great, so Harper was extremely eager to follow the great God.
"I know what you're thinking." Ivan quickly saw through Harper's obsession.
"I, Harper, beg the great God to give me a chance." Harper knelt on the ground again.
"It's a pity that even I have been expelled from that world and cannot meet your expectations." Ivan gave him a casual look and picked him up.
The words that rang in Harper's ears made him stunned.
"Then, then, then why don't you stay here? Little Harper is willing to serve you and take over cities for you, even the whole world, and make it submit to you."
Soon, Harper thought of another possibility and suggested it cautiously, but there was an undisguised passion in his eyes.
With the great God around, he doesn't have to leave this disgusting world.
"Haha, you should work hard on your training, get married and have children. As for this wizard, I haven't decided whether to stay or not. I need to think about it again."
For Ivan, it is understandable that Harper's proposal is not constructive, as the two of them are at a much different level of strength.
However, Ivan felt inexplicably happier.
Afterwards, he bestowed something on this fanatical believer of his. Not only did he make him a formal member of the Black Star Army, he also raised his strength to the Flying Knight stage, and taught him how to become a Knight Sub-King and Knight King.
This is a great opportunity for Harper. As for how high he can reach in the future, it depends on whether he can seize the opportunity.
……
Time passed quickly. With Ivan's help, Jenny woke up earlier than others, and her injuries recovered by 40% to 50%.
"Jenny, take the people from the Earth's Core back to Danela."
"Please allow me to refuse. Wherever Wizard Ivan is, I will be there."
After Jenny woke up again, she realized how many things had happened. She rarely objected to Wizard Ivan's orders and her attitude was very firm.
The clone was created for the original body, and she didn't want to go back to the place that abandoned Wizard Ivan.
"Go back and take care of that place for me. As for me, my consciousness can come back at any time, but I won't be back in the short term. I need you to watch over there for me. This is very important."
After so many days, Ivan figured out a lot of things.
He knew that the ending could not be changed, because no one could stop Yanachins, the mother of all things, not even the Mother Goddess of Darkness. In fact, Yanachins had already come and was near the Ash Plane, but she just didn't show up.
The mother of all things must have some dignity.
He is a rational person who will not do anything that is not worth the loss, but will try his best to make choices that are beneficial to the situation.
In the current situation, sending Jenny back to Danela is a good choice. No matter what, the Earth Core lineage has failed him this time, and the Earth Core lineage is very important in Danela. After Fang Yutu is found, his status will become more important, so he cannot cut off contact directly. (End of this chapter)
