The game of all races begins, and I alone will prove my immortality!

Chapter 782: What is life? What is destiny?

Qin Han: "Without their natural enemies, the rabbits will desperately try to grab resources. However, every resource has its limit. When it reaches a critical point, it will self-destruct."

Sen Zu smiled faintly.

Without explaining, he took Qin Han into another world.

There is not a single spiritual energy in this world, and even internal energy cannot be generated.

They flew over a large city and looked down.

Everything you see is shocking.

Outside the city, the trees are sparse and the mountains are bare.

The sky and the earth were all gray.

Everyone I saw was pale and thin.

Qin Han: "Is this a disaster, a drought?"

Senzu shook his head and said, "No."

"This place has always been blessed with good weather and was once a lush and vibrant place."

"It's only because a city was built here and the population kept growing that it became what it is today."

Qin Han asked doubtfully, "This place is an ancient society, shouldn't it be covered with dense forests?"

Sen Zu replied irrelevantly, "Tell me, how does this city of a million people survive?"

Qin Han: "The seven necessities of life are firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. In addition, there are also grains, fruits and vegetables shipped from other places."

Morizu: "Why is Chai first?"

Hearing this, Qin Han's mind buzzed.

"Wood is needed to keep warm in winter, build houses, and cook daily."

"For a city with a population of one million, the daily consumption is simply an astronomical figure."

"I've read in history books that cities like Luoyang and Chang'an, my hometown, were severely damaged during the Han and Tang dynasties. I was always puzzled at the time. How destructive could those ancient people be?"

"Now I think about it, it's precisely because they rely on a single resource that the damage they cause to the environment becomes so severe."

"In the technological age, however, production capacity has greatly increased, and cooking with firewood is no longer necessary. The world has become green and lush again."

"Now that I think about it, the world of immortality seems to be the same."

"Cultivators have little demand for resources like trees, but they require a lot for products like spirit stones."

"Many realms that exhaust all resources quickly become barren, and their energy levels decline. However, realms that can strictly control resource output will prosper forever."

"So, what you want to tell me is symbiosis and ecological cycle?"

Sen Zu kept smiling faintly on the side: "There's more."

Qin Han frowned slightly.

After thinking for a while, he said uncertainly: "Also, it should be seeking."

"Ancient people used burning wood to generate energy, and some used coal to generate energy."

"As technology improves, we can collect large amounts of coal, natural gas, oil, and even solar energy and nuclear fission to obtain energy."

"In the world of immortality, cultivators initially used spirit stones to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to gain energy."

"But nowadays, many techniques can even utilize light and heat, allowing all things in nature to gain energy."

"High-level monks can even absorb the energy of the void, such as you, Senzu,"

"Normally speaking, for a plant of your size, even the energy from two divine realms of life wouldn't be enough to sustain you."

"It may seem like the Life Realm is nourishing you, but in reality, you are rooted deep within the void, constantly absorbing void energy to feed back to the Life Realm."

"So, low-level energy is plunder."

"Higher-level energy is about seeking, pursuing deeper, stronger energy to complete oneself."

"Everyone needs spirit stones. After a hundred generations, both humans and stones will be destroyed."

"If everyone pursues high-level energy, then they will be rooted in the void, and their energy will be inexhaustible!"

Sen Zu stroked his beard and smiled.

"That's a good summary, but you're wrong on one point."

He snapped his fingers and two black and white needle-tip-sized energies popped out.

The two energies circled each other and flew towards the sky.

When it reaches a certain height,

The two energies collided violently.

Immediately afterwards, a rapidly expanding black hole appeared in the sky.

The black hole surged for hundreds of miles, and even tried to swallow up the entire world.

Seeing this, Qin Han asked, "Is this the power of annihilation?"

"When I use the Arcana, its cleansing power is very similar to this."

"The source of this power is the annihilation of matter through collision. It may seem insignificant, but it actually has astonishing destructive power."

Sen Zu nodded slightly: "Yes, energy should not only be sought upwards, but also in the micro."

The darkness in the sky lasted for a while and then disappeared.

The people in the city discussed for a while.

Many people believe that it was a solar eclipse.

We went out for a walk and then dispersed.

Sen Zu and Qin Han stood in the clouds.

Didn't leave.

At this moment, there were two light screens in front of them.

In the first light curtain,

An extremely old man was on his deathbed, and in a voice as soft as a mosquito, he told his family about his funeral arrangements.

In the second light curtain,

The family gathered outside the delivery room, and soon the sound of a baby crying was heard from inside.

"What did you see this time?"

Qin Han: "Death and rebirth."

"Senior, are you trying to tell me that life is a cycle, a passing of the torch?"

Sen Zu shook his head and said, "No, no."

"I ask you, what is death?"

Qin Han: "The vitality has dissipated, and the body functions are completely damaged."

Sen Zu: "Then let me ask you again, why does vitality dissipate, why does death occur?"

"Don't rush to answer. Similarly, I still want to ask you, why does the old replace the new? Why does new life exist?"

Qin Han frowned and thought for a while, "Your question is a bit big."

Senzu said, "Not big at all."

"There's a kind of worm inside the human body called the Insect Ancestor. Monks have discovered that this Insect Ancestor controls the human life cycle."

"In your hometown language, it's genes."

"So-called life is the carrier created by Zongzu."

Qin Han: "If that's the case, then why didn't Zongzu create a body that could allow for immortality?"

Sen Zu shook his head and laughed: "It's not that I don't want to, but I can't."

“Just like a person building a house, no matter how solid it is, it will eventually collapse.”

"At this time, he will build a new house."

“Houses are like the human body; they are passed down from generation to generation.”

"A newborn is like a new house. At first, there are only blueprints, and then the foundation is slowly built. When the old house decays, the new house is also built."

Qin Han: "According to you, humans are just puppets of Zongzu?"

"However, when people act as puppets, they develop thoughts and gradually escape control."

“The self-consciousness becomes the sole master of the body.”

"Zongzu is not suffering a backlash. His efforts are in vain."

Sen Zu said: "The cultivation environment is different, and the treatment of Zong Zu is also different."

"In some places, cultivators will kill the Insect Ancestor when they reach a certain stage of cultivation, pursuing a state of unity."

"In some places, the Insect Ancestor is preserved and coexists with him."
