NOVEL WEB Chapter 625
Chapter 625: Life, Old Age, Sickness, and Death
Chatting with the mage for a while, Su Hao felt quite emotional.
In fact, there are many people who like knowledge, many who enjoy exploring the unknown, but limited by lifespan and energy, not everyone can pursue knowledge at will.
Just like the mage, in this world, he can be considered one of the most knowledgeable people and has strong thirst for knowledge.
After seeing the new things revealed by Su Hao, an infinite desire to explore welled up in his heart. Sadly, he was already old, and his strong curiosity could not withstand the erosion of time, ultimately defeated.
Perhaps this is the helplessness of wise life!
Although he now has a lifespan of several thousand years, when the time scale is extended, it may not necessarily mean a long life. Every minute passes by, leading to the moment of the end.
After leaving the mage’s castle, Feng Cheng also happened to finish his class for the day. He clearly sensed that Su Hao was in Xingji City, so he sent a message to Su Hao: “Chief Wei, are you also in Xingji City?”
Su Hao directly teleported to Feng Cheng’s side, not avoiding the students around him, and asked directly, “Just finished a new study and came out for a walk. I also came to see how your astronomy group is progressing.”
Feng Cheng chuckled, “This is already the third batch of students. The first two batches have entered the work of monitoring the stars. However, due to limitations in facilities and equipment, we cannot mass-produce astronomical monitoring equipment yet. In another five years, we will have full knowledge of the movements within this star system.”
This task was arranged for Feng Cheng five years ago. In another five years, which adds up to ten years, from nothing to building an astronomy group, the speed was not slow at all.
Su Hao nodded, “Can we start monitoring the movements of the star system now?”
Feng Cheng said, “Monitoring has already begun. I have set up teleportation arrays and ‘observatories’ on hundreds of satellites, and every month I arrange for students to observe the dynamics of the star system from the observatory tower. For example, Feiyuan is currently collecting data on satellite 107.”
However, this is just the beginning. Only the orbital trajectories of various planets and larger asteroids have been calculated so far, and more smaller asteroids have not been included in the monitoring system.
Moreover, all the planets currently being monitored have shown no anomalies.”
Saying this, Feng Cheng handed over the corresponding data to Su Hao.
Su Hao glanced through it roughly, made a comparison, and indeed, as Feng Cheng said, there were no anomalies found. He handed the data back to Feng Cheng, saying, “Continue monitoring. Notify me immediately if there are any changes.”
Feng Cheng replied, “Okay, Chief Wei, leave it to me!”
…
Su Hao left New Ji City and flew to space personally, standing on a satellite, using a farsight rune to lock onto various planets and, based on Feng Cheng’s data, established a stellar system model in the pinball space, observing for a whole day.
The results showed no anomalies.
He thought to himself, silently calculating time: “Perhaps the ‘disaster system’ on my body has not been activated. I have been in this world for nearly twenty years, and according to a hundred-year calculation, there are still eighty years before the small asteroid arrives! In other words, it is highly likely that it has not been activated yet, or it is just in the initial stages! And I do not need to worry.
It is just a pity that my perception ability is too weak, unable to perceive the operation of various energies in the vast universe. Although I have guessed the operating logic of the ‘disaster system,’ I have no way to intervene.”
As long as he finds the trajectory of the universe’s energy operation, Su Hao believes that there must be a way to transfer his own ‘disaster focus’ to another place, such as a certain meteorite in the universe.
This is what is commonly known as ‘avoiding disaster,’ or ‘stand-in’!
The current problem is that the perception ability is insufficient, unable to perceive energy operation, unable to determine the ‘disaster system.’
Su Hao thought to himself, “I have to find a way to accurately calculate the method of energy operation when my mental power cannot perceive it.”
It’s not difficult to say it, but it mainly depends on the approach, just like predicting the weather forecast…
However, there is no rush for a while. There are still eighty years, relatively ample time.
One thing that Su Hao is very worried about: What if this disaster is not caused by a meteorite impact?
Looking back on the journey, there has not been a single disaster that was exactly the same.
Will this life’s disaster be the same as the previous one?
Even Su Hao is not sure.
If it’s not a meteorite impact, then what could it be?
It is this point that makes Su Hao very uncomfortable. Knowing what it is can be managed, but the problem is that before the disaster arrives, no one knows what deadly thing it will be, making it impossible to guard against.
When he asked Feng Cheng earlier, he even hoped that Feng Cheng would answer that there was an anomaly!
“Facing an enemy, fight it; facing water, dig a trench. We’ll see how it goes when the time comes! As long as I have enough power, why fear mere disasters?”
One day, all kinds of disasters will bow down and call him ‘Boss Wei’!
Back in the base world, Su Hao set aside the matter of the small asteroid.
He then proceeded with the calculation and experimental attempts of various data of the source transformation ‘compounds.’
“As quickly as possible, complete the research on compounds and mixtures, free up time to try to find a way to destroy planets! After that, figure out a way to collect the universe’s energy operation rules based on myself as the focus…”
…
Ten years passed in a flash.
The outside world underwent earth-shaking changes, but the base world remained the same, except that the old dog that had always been lying in the first laboratory beside Su Hao had died.
As the dog neared its end, it used its skills on Su Hao, and Su Hao involuntarily stretched his foot to touch the dog’s forehead. This was its last interaction with its owner.
After the dog’s death, Su Hao cremated its body and scattered the ashes on the sea, returning it to nature.
Then suddenly one day, Feng Cheng posted a message in the group: “Both bosses, the old man and the wizard have left. It is said that before leaving, the old man kept muttering about wanting to apprentice under Boss Wei! Tomorrow the Wizard’s Association will bid farewell to the old man, are the two bosses going?”
After a while, Su Hao replied: “Life, death, light extinguished, everything turns into emptiness, I will not go!”
Yashan also replied: “Feng Cheng, you are always traveling outside, go represent us.”
Feng Cheng replied, “Okay!”
The next day, Feng Cheng appeared in New Ji City, entered the wizard’s shrine, offered three flowers, and then left quietly.
To be honest, life, old age, sickness, and death, Feng Cheng had seen it all, and he did not have too deep of an experience. These three flowers were entirely given on the basis of the many years of friendship with the old man, just to see him off.
After all, Feng Cheng had not experienced the feeling of aging. In the previous life, he maintained the peak state until death.
He is unable to comprehend the despair and helplessness of a person aging and then dying.
The position of ‘Healer Mage’ in the Mage Association was designated by the previous Healer Mage and is held by President Rada!
As for the reasons behind President Rada appointing himself as the ‘Healer Mage,’ only the Healer Mage himself knows.
Of course, many speculate it has something to do with Jia Wei.
Because it is said that President Rada once spent two years studying in Jia Wei’s base and received guidance from Mr. Jia Wei, he is sure to lead the Mage Association even further…
Certainly, no one openly opposes this, as no one dares to say ‘no’ to Rada’s face!
After the Healer Mage’s passing, there are few mages left who can surpass Rada!
Even mages who used to perceive Rada as a threat are now hesitant to confront him. Because Rada has learned abilities from other disciplines, he has become very versatile, with no apparent weaknesses.
It can be said that apart from Su Hao and the others, he can be considered the strongest on the surface.
As for the emperors who were previously imprisoned and had been beaten by Rada a few times, they were granted permission to leave the base world eight years ago and return to the city of New Era as ordinary people.
Upon their return, they discovered that the world had changed drastically and they could no longer understand it.
However, as long as the Palace of Heavenly Harmony is still operating, the emperors can integrate into the world in the best possible way, without feeling like strangers.
The emperors have no intention of causing trouble. They understand that their era has passed, and simply being alive is the greatest blessing from the heavens.
For them, lying flat and enjoying the pleasures of life is not a bad way to live!
