Chapter 596: Chapter 323 “End of Life” and “Simulation Ends” (Please Subscribe)_2

“Have you achieved immortality?”

Milton Cheney asked with some curiosity.

Now that he had only a few years left to live, he naturally spoke more boldly, asking whatever came to mind.

He wasn’t worried about asking the wrong questions, as he always knew where to draw the line.

Upon hearing Milton’s question, Lotus Immortal simply nodded indifferently.

His face was expressionless, and even Milton couldn’t tell what was going through the Immortal’s mind.

“How come I feel there’s no change in you at all?”

Milton voiced the doubt in his heart.

Indeed, Milton found it very strange.

It seemed that the Lotus Immortal hadn’t changed in the slightest from just a moment ago.

Is this what achieving immortality is like, just floating up and then coming back down again?

Although Milton knew it couldn’t be that simple, his perception, borrowed from the power of heaven and earth, surely couldn’t be deceiving him.

If there had been any change, even if it meant he could no longer sense the presence of the Immortal, that would have been normal.

But now, he could still clearly sense the existence of the Lotus Immortal, with absolutely no difference from before.

This didn’t seem like transcending the cycle of the Five Elements.

“Because my realm hasn’t changed, it’s still the Unification Realm, just with the added identity of an Immortal,” the Lotus Immortal explained.

So that’s how it is.

Upon hearing this, Milton’s eyebrows slightly lifted as he pondered quietly.

This was no different from the conjecture that had suddenly sprung up in his mind just moments ago.

It seemed that there was indeed a significant difference between becoming an Immortal through virtue and becoming one through overpowering the laws.

Just in terms of power alone, there might be a huge difference.

“Can you ascend to the Immortal Realm?”

“Of course I can,” the Lotus Immortal nodded and said.

However, after replying, he looked at Milton with some curiosity.

He seemed to have noticed that Milton was somewhat preoccupied, as if pondering something.

But he didn’t ask further.

Everyone has their secrets, and there was no need for him to pry.

From the beginning, he had sensed that his friend, Milton Cheney, had many things hidden in his heart.

If his feelings were correct, Milton was indeed contemplating some issues at this moment.

After a moment, Milton spoke:

“Monarch, do you know of Transcendents?”

The moment he asked this question, Milton’s gaze was fixed intently on the Lotus Immortal’s face.

At the same time, he had set a warning alert in his sea of consciousness, ready to end his life immediately and terminate this reincarnation simulation should anything amiss occur.

By asking this question, Milton was undoubtedly taking a risk.

He wasn’t sure if becoming an Immortal meant transcendence.

Because he couldn’t see it.

He also wasn’t certain if the newly ascended Lotus Monarch knew what a Transcendent was.

But his uncertainty didn’t mean he couldn’t probe.

Even if the one he was testing was an Immortal, he didn’t believe that he wouldn’t even have the chance to take his own life in the presence of an Immortal.

The gap couldn’t be that great. Without any preparations, Milton wouldn’t have bluntly asked such a question like some green young man.

In fact, a million years ago, he had already prepared to ask this very question today.

“Transcendents? What Transcendents?” the Lotus Immortal asked with some confusion.

He could see the seriousness and concern in Milton, but he truly didn’t know what a Transcendent was.

So his gaze became somewhat strange.

“Young friend, do you know something?”

“Do you think I have become this ‘Transcendent’ you speak of?” the Lotus Immortal asked with a slightly furrowed brow.

He wasn’t foolish, and he could guess the crux of the matter after a little thought.

If his guess was right, he was probably being considered the ‘Transcendent’ that his young friend mentioned.

But what is a Transcendent? Another term for an Immortal, perhaps?

At this moment, his curiosity was also piqued.

Seeing this scene, Milton Cheney couldn’t help but feel a touch of disappointment in his heart.

He could naturally tell that the Lotus Immortal before him wasn’t pretending, but truly unaware of what a Transcendent was.

Actually, Milton Cheney had hoped that upon hearing his words, the countenance of the Lotus Immortal in front of him would drastically change, and then he would attack him outright.

If that had happened, he might have gained something.

“I did indeed have that thought just now, and as for the Transcendents, they are mentioned in just a few phrases I once read in an ancient text.”

“According to that ancient text, Transcendents can directly transcend this world and become beings above this world, even directly controlling a world.”

“Moreover, Transcendents are distinct from Realms, akin to the status of an Immortal being you just mentioned, which is why I suddenly asked out of curiosity.”

Milton Cheney did not fully hide the truth but spoke a mix of truth and lies.

Hearing this, the brows of the Lotus Immortal relaxed slightly as he spoke, “Such unreliable talk, the ancient text you read is probably derived from storybooks, not to be taken seriously.”

“If there really were Transcendents as you say, the Cultivation Realm would have been thrown into chaos long ago.”

“If there were people who could control a world, wouldn’t the Cultivation Realm have been under their control a long time ago?”

Hearing this, Milton Cheney nodded indifferently.

Time passed slowly, and after conversing for a while longer with the Lotus Immortal, the latter departed.

The Lotus Immortal wouldn’t stay in the Cultivation Realm for much longer; he naturally wanted to tour the Cultivation Realm one last time.

Having reincarnated in this world tens of thousands of times, he naturally felt reluctant to leave it.

As for Milton Cheney, he had no such sentiments.

After all, to him, this world was nothing more than a simulation.

To this world, he was just a passerby.

Therefore, naturally, he couldn’t feel the same reluctance as the Lotus Immortal towards this world. After all, once the Lotus Immortal ascended to the Immortal Realm, he couldn’t return, but Milton Cheney was different.

If Milton Cheney wanted to, he could reincarnate in this world again after the simulation ended.

To him, this world was more like a level in a game.

But this world was indeed a real world.

Yet, there were so many worlds in the Universe, and even with a Simulator, Milton Cheney couldn’t possibly reincarnate in each one.

Milton Cheney didn’t know if he would reincarnate in this world again in the future.

But regardless of whether he returned in the future or not, the assistance this world provided to him was the greatest since he had obtained the Simulator.

……..

Time flowed silently like water, quietly slipping away.

A few years, for Milton Cheney who had experienced a long span of time in this world, were just a momentary flick.

On an abandoned island in the Wanhu Island sea region, Milton Cheney wore a smile, his body gradually dissipating.

From where he came, he would return.

Within the Cultivation Realm, no one could imagine that in this desolate place, a Unification Dao Monarch had perished.

The next moment, Milton Cheney’s consciousness gradually sank into darkness.

……..

Within the Reincarnation Space, Milton Cheney’s consciousness slowly regained clarity.

Before Milton Cheney could carefully sense the Reincarnation Space, this stream of consciousness was kicked out of it.

Inside the Wizard Tower, Milton Cheney slowly opened his eyes.

Everything around him was incredibly familiar, but this reincarnation simulation had lasted exceptionally long.

Even for Milton Cheney, there was a strange feeling of detachment at this moment.

Fortunately, this sensation didn’t last long.

At the same time, the moment his consciousness left the Reincarnation Space, a familiar mechanical voice also echoed in Milton Cheney’s mind.

[Reincarnation Simulation Ended!]

[Successfully preserved the reincarnation simulation memories!]

[Detected that the Host will not be influenced by reincarnation memories, Simulator Memory Protection Function was not initiated, do you wish to activate it manually?]

[Detected that the Host is a ‘Level Four Demon’, do you wish to keep modifications to adapt to the Wizard Realm’s rules?]

“Do not initiate memory protection.”

In reality, upon hearing the mechanical voice in his mind, Milton Cheney had a thought.

The next moment, all memories from the reincarnation simulation were fully preserved in reality.

Milton Cheney chose not to initiate the memory protection.

After all, although this reincarnation simulation lasted a long time, it wasn’t enough to have any adverse effect on him.
