Chapter 731 The Heaviness of Time



Witnessed the exchange between Chiyama Yukie, Kokumo Miyako, and Yakisaki.

Yuyuan Wanseyun shook his head gently.

She chose not to say anything, and quietly lay beside Xi Shenlian in the most comfortable position, staring at the night sky above her head with him, watching the stars above her head constantly shining in the universe...

to be honest.

This is a peaceful but safe and fulfilling daily life right now.

She likes it very much.

She felt that even if countless years passed, she would probably never get tired of days like this.

Especially after the mentality changed to longevity, it seems to be even more like that...

now.

Although this kind of life has lasted for some time, the change in mentality is not something that can be achieved overnight.

After living as a short-lived species for many years and forming inherent ideas.

The current short-term changes in her life are not enough to fundamentally change her mindset.

Things still need more time to hone.

Xi Shenlian, who was lying quietly beside her in a pair of swimming trunks, didn't know what she was thinking at the moment, but he could clearly feel the ease and leisure in Yuyuan Wanseyun's heart. It was a very relaxing and stress-free feeling, so Xi Shenlian didn't need to think too much and could directly assume that the other party was very satisfied with her current life.

to be honest.

Although there is not much to see in the night sky above, there are just some ordinary stars twinkling with their own starlight, there are neither gorgeous lighting effects nor any extremely special meanings, but Xi Shenlian feels that occasionally looking at this quiet night sky is indeed a very good enjoyment, which can make him feel relaxed and happy to a certain extent.

No extra scenery is needed.

Just because it's quiet enough.

This would allow him to give up some meaningless thoughts to a certain extent and empty his mind for a short period of time...

Not long after.

Yuyuan Wanseyun, who had already leaned his head on his chest, yawned slightly and said in a low voice:

"What do you think? If we continue to live in this way where we can observe something new every once in a while, can we live in this world easily and indefinitely into the future without getting tired of it?"

"After all, I heard that after surviving for a very long time, it is easy to develop a world-weary mood. Those with milder cases may want to commit suicide, while those with more serious cases may even want to destroy the world or something..."

In this world, even the immortal species, whose concept of time is different from that of the short-lived species, may still become completely tired of living and no longer want to live.

It can only be said that the overly long time scale and life cycle are an unbearable burden for many people who cannot bear it enough.

This is especially true when the scale of time is no longer limited to one year, ten years... one billion years... one billion billion billion years... and beyond.

The world is so big.

Time is too long.

Everything seems to be an endless cycle.

Therefore, it is likely to make people feel numb and cold...

After hearing what Yuyuan Wanseyun said, Xi Shenlian smiled and said lightly:

"You don't need to care about that kind of thing. Being tired of living is just a normal phenomenon."

"After all, being tired of living doesn't mean you really want to die."

"The most common manifestation of that situation is that the organism becomes lazy, not that it wants to die."

"By changing the concept from short-lived species to long-lived species or even immortal species, we can completely avoid the occurrence of related problems."

“Many time scales sound very long, so long that they are difficult to accept, but that is because you think based on your existing concept of time.”

"Take the well-known Paramecium for example, their actual lifespan is often less than a day."

"Therefore, a whole year would seem extremely long to them, and a hundred years would seem as long as the entire history of time to them."

"Based on this situation, if we give a paramecium enough intelligence, making it an intelligent creature, and let it live for a year or two, perhaps it will live to the point where it doesn't want to live anymore and feels that it is completely tired of living. But does that insignificant amount of time really count?"

"Obviously, it's nothing."

“Even ordinary people whose lives are still restricted when they are not released from prison will not take it too seriously.”

"As for normal humans, whose average lifespan is easily millions or tens of millions of years, they will not consider it a problem at all. After their concept of time has changed, they will only think that it is an extremely short period of time, as if it were only a few minutes."

"As for the truly immortal species, the time scale that you now think is incredibly long is actually the same as a lifetime in the eyes of a paramecium. Although it seems very long, it is actually nothing."

"So, adapt to your current life, dear Wan Seyun. Our lifespan is not so short that it can be measured by basic time units such as [year], [century], etc. It is an infinitely long time, long enough for the birth and demise of the universe. For us, it is actually no different from one second. It is just an infinite part of our life..."

The seas run dry, the rocks crumble, the planets decay, the universe becomes silent... although these time scales seem extremely long to short-lived creatures, so long that they seem as if everything is endless, and there are also huge gaps between them, for example, there is an infinite time gap between the seas run dry, the rocks crumble and the universe becomes silent, but in the eyes of true immortals, these time scales are actually not that different at all.

now.

After hearing these words from Xishenlian's own mouth, Wan Seyun in the Imperial Court was silent for a few seconds.

Although she had already prepared herself mentally to live forever, after listening to it all with her own ears, she still sincerely felt the heaviness of time and felt that some of her past concepts and living habits were constantly moving away from her.

It's not a hard feeling.

It's a very wonderful feeling.

It's not so much uncomfortable as uncomfortable.

In fact, it should be said that it is complicated...

The complexity of becoming an immortal for no apparent reason...

After thinking about it.

She chose to whisper:

"I really hope that in the long life ahead, we can always find all kinds of interesting things to pass the time, otherwise it will be too boring..."

The next moment.

The response from Xi Shenlian was simple and clear:

"Yes."

"That's inevitable."
