Chapter 1002: The temptation to break (2) (1/2)

Not everyone had to have power like he has to protect something. Azief was pushed by the tides of fates and destiny and he could not once let his guard down and become weak

And time affected not only longevity but also the soul. Though, not in the way that it affects longevity

After all, that he had experience, the experiences and memories of it, the feeling he felt living it, it was like his soul was baptized.

Like some kind of weathering of soul.

Azief longevity is not as long as Raymond because he had used a lot of it.

Of course, this is if one compared his Disk Formation lifespan limit with Raymond.

The reason why Azief lifespan had always exceed Raymond was simply because Azief is progressing really fast toward the next level, that the loss of longevity did not affect him that much

And now that he had reached Divine Comprehension level, the loss of longevity did not make him that fearful.

The moment he reached the Divine Comprehension level, his longevity had become almost as long as Heaven and Earth

The key point is almost. The sentence as long as Heaven and Earth is a just a way of sayings that he could live long.

But the longest a Divine Comprehension could live is around tens of thousands of years.

Of course, with each realm of Divine Comprehension passed, the longer that lifespan limit

And since he walked the Perfection Path, even if he did not break through and do anything, he probably could live up to almost a million years

When one reaches a level of Essence Comprehension, that is truly reaching Heaven and Earth lifespan which is around trillions of years and even could stand the weathering of time

Of course, while he could live for tens of thousands of years, this is not definitive.

There would always be things that would decrease one longevity, from the air they breathe, the mistake in channeling energy in one body, to impurities that would fill up one energy stream and many other factors

this also did not mean he could not die earlier than expected.

It is just that if he were determined to do so and not to do anything dangerous or meddling in anything, and live in seclusion without caring about anything, he could probably live that long.

But from what Azief had known, anyone who does so would lose their chance to progress and sooner or later fate and destiny would surely meddle with such a being.

There is also the fact that anyone who had reached such a level is probably not a coward. And there would always be a reduction of longevity.

Why and how is still a question that Azief could not answer but he was quite sure of it.

That even if you reached Divine Comprehension level and have a lifespan the same as heaven and Earth, the forces of the world would slowly absorb your longevity if you did not do something.

Though, that lifespan limit is still a long time to live when one thinks about it. One might even feel boring living at that time.

The point was, that to reach Perfection level, a long amount is taken and a lot of longevity is consumed.

The reason why Azief could reach Divine Comprehension level while pursuing Perfection Path is down to a few factors. One, is his determination.  Second, luck

Though, after knowing Loki identity, he did not view his luck as simply luck anymore. It was like there is a dark hand guiding it all from behind.

Azief could not help but feel that Loki must have something to do with some of the easy way he could solve certain things.

It is a pity that if he asked such a question to Loki, Loki would never answer truthfully.

He sighed inwardly

No one could understand the fear he felt to be left behind. There is a fear that someone would rise above him.

And no, it is not about the title of the strongest.

He did not fear losing that title.

To be more accurate, it is not the title he fears losing but what it symbolizes.

The strongest man in the world is propaganda of the World Government in the past.

It was to set him up high and then uses him a stepping stone to establish the authority and invincible power of the World Government

All of it was to set him up as the foil to World Government. Of course this plan backfired onto the World Government

That effort of Hirate did not work but the propaganda on him work. And it works too well. Since that moment, that title is used as a badge of protection toward his friend.

Azief himself did not have many personal enemies. But when you sat on the highest peak and the most coveted seat in the world, people would hate you for simply being there
