Not even two minutes after Ann Sudong sent this message, he received a reply from the Nine Heavens Divine Woman.
The Heavenly Court's Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens: "You just said it, the lifespan of mortals is only seventy to eighty days. In the Heavenly Court, one day is equivalent to one year in the mortal world. The Heavenly Court has the same scenery every day, and in the mortal world, there will be spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
"Why do you say that?"
Ann Sudong started to understand a little. In order to rule the Three Realms, the Heavenly Court would customize some rules and regulations to govern the beings that restricted the Three Realms, so that they would forever be under the dignity of the Heavenly Court.
For example, in the Heavenly Court, there was a rule that forbade emotions. The moment a deity wakes up, he will be punished according to the rule of the heavens. This way, he would be able to easily control the mortals and ghosts of the Three Realms.
"The Human God's Three Realms, the Queen Mother has formulated laws that are exclusive to each Realm. Once the laws are violated, they will definitely be severely punished. This is also for the sake of maintaining order in the Three Realms."
Ann Sudong laughed, and it was exactly as he had expected.
Maintaining order in the Three Realms sounded like a way to maintain order in the Three Realms, but Ann Sudong understood that maintaining order in the Three Realms was absolutely necessary.
No matter if it was to establish an orderly, civilized empire or the Heavenly Court in order to take charge of the Three Realms, even a great clan as prosperous as Hong Family must have its own internal family rules.
Ann Sudong more or less understood what the Nine Heavens Divine Maiden meant, but he still couldn't understand why the Queen Mother said that mortals with the right to freely reproduce would have to shorten their lifespan.
Wuzhen: "Then why is it that the laws of the world allow mortals to reproduce freely, why do mortals have to pay the price of shortening their lifespan after gaining the right to reproduce freely?"
Heavenly Court's Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens: "The reason why mortals have the right to freely reproduce is so that they can dominate the human world and not be eaten up by other species. As for the price you said is to shorten your lifespan. "
Wuchang: "So what if you pay the price of shortening your lifespan?"
The Heavenly Court's Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens: "Fellow Daoist Wushi, can't you tell?"
Ann Sudong stared at his phone in a daze. He suddenly asked himself if he had noticed anything wrong.
See what?
Ann Sudong thought about it carefully, and really couldn't think of any necessary link between free reproduction and shortening one's life expectancy.
"Eighty, eighty …"
"Right, population issues?"
Ann Sudong recalled that normally speaking, fifty years old would mean that he would be sixty years old, which meant that he would be a grandpa or grandma, and that his grandpa would die just like that. Thinking about the population problem on Earth now, Ansu suddenly felt that the Heavenly Court was trying to control the population of humans?
Immediately, Ann Sudong felt that something was amiss, because in the last few thousand years, the population on Earth had increased by several billion. If this was also the population control of the Heavenly Court, then it was too failed population control.
What was it?
Unable to think of an answer, Ann Sudong started to use the fake idea that was taught to him by a math teacher in a high school.
If a person could live up to five hundred years old, then excluding the time when the infant was still young, the person's life span after adulthood would be quite long, almost as long as four hundred and eighty years.
Suppose that this man gave birth to his first child at about the age of thirty, and that when he was sixty his children would have a child, and, in order, sixteen generations by the time he was four hundred and eighty, and that during that time the man was still fertile, and that, together with the fact that every generation of his children gave birth to one child every thirty years, it would be easy to create a problem.
Ethical issues!
Right, ethics. According to a five hundred year old life, even if the people in a clan were unable to distinguish who was who, after a human had such a long life, in this long life, there would definitely be a question of the relationship between the two families.
After thinking of the answer, Ann Sudong sighed softly. It seemed that he had still underestimated the Heavenly Court.
Suddenly, Ann Sudong smacked himself on the head. Whatever ethics he was thinking about right now, knowing how to live his youth forever was the most important thing at the moment.
Wuchang: "May I ask Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden, is there any method that can allow mortals to forever maintain their current appearance and not age like all of you?"
Heavenly Court's Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens: "Let mortals never age again?"
Ann Sudong swallowed his saliva and quickly replied.
Wuchang: "Yes."
Heavenly Court's Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens: "There's only one way."
"What way?"
Ann Sudong replied somewhat excitedly.
Heavenly Court's Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens: "To change the lifespan of a mortal in the King of Hell's Book of Life and Death, it needs to be modified by at least tens of thousands of years to make the mortal look as if he hasn't aged yet. But as time passes, the mortal will still age."
Change the Book of Life and Death!
Ann Sudong read the message of the Nine Heavens Profound Woman with a head full of fog.
The Book of Life and Death was personally managed by Hades of the Underworld. Every day, he would use the data recorded in the Book of Life and Death to send the ghost servant to the Underworld to bring the prisoner's soul to the Underworld so as to control the prisoner's lifespan.
The only one who had ever heard of changing the Book of Life and Death was Sun Wukong breaking into the Underworld and destroying the King of Hell's Book of Life and Death. He had even changed the lifespan of mortals in the entire Book of Life and Death.
He wasn't Sun Wukong, so how could he change the Book of Life and Death that was personally managed by Hades? Let alone the fact that he didn't have the ability to change it, even Hades told him that he couldn't even change it to enter the underworld.
Ann Sudong sighed, he did not know what the Nine Heavens Demoness meant.
Wuchang: "Is there no other way?" "Pitiful."
Seeing that there was only a sliver of hope, Ann Sudong's mood instantly plummeted, as he held on tightly to his phone in distress.
Heavenly Court's Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens: "No. Furthermore, the Book of Life and Death is in violation of the laws of the heavens, unless a certain mortal achieves great merits, Big Dipper Monarch will tell Hades to extend his life. "
Looking at this piece of news, Ann Sudong's heart grew cold. However, he was still unwilling to just waste a hundred contribution points on nothing, and not get anything at all.
Wuchang: "Then may I ask if Mystic Maiden knows of any pills that can extend the lifespan of a mortal, or maybe it's to make a person younger?"
After Ann Sudong sent this message, the Nine Heavens Profound Woman no longer replied to Ann Sudong.
Flipping through today's chat history, Ann Sudong was a little vexed and lost a hundred contribution points. Just as Ann Sudong was about to put down his phone, a message from the Nine Heavens Divine Maiden appeared on the screen.
Ann Sudong was a little apprehensive as he quickly opened the Alipay's chat.
Heavenly Court's Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens: "I don't know much about these kinds of pills, but the effects of the pills you're talking about seem similar to the Heavenly Queen Mother's Peach of Immortality. I think the Seventh Fairy will have what you're looking for."
"Seventh Fairy."
Ann Sudong thanked the Nine Heavens Divine Woman and immediately focused all of his attention on Seventh Fairy.
