Night Without End
Chapter 1345 - 570: The 500-Year Cycle Returns (Part 2)
Ultimately, as the two delved deeper, they discovered that the Wangsheng yong Organization wasn’t large in scale, but it was an extremely terrifying force.
Its ultimate origin is a human pit.
If traced back, it is quite ancient; when first unearthed, beneath mottled dust and time, many human figures from unverifiable eras were buried.
This organization does not claim to be a Supreme System; its purpose is to study immortality and conduct various longevity experiments.
Over the years, it has always maintained a low profile. Although inconspicuous and dim in the Supreme Civilization, it is actually very powerful.
Otherwise, how could it coexist peacefully here with the God like Organization and Strange Insect Alliance?
Those who know its past revere it immensely. Because although its reputation seems unremarkable, its foundation is frighteningly deep, and its experiments are very bloody.
The Yujing Camp, where Qin Ming and Tang Yushang belong, just had a fierce battle with a giant—the Immortal Blood Calamity, so naturally, they are particularly sensitive to such organizations researching longevity.
When it comes to longevity, there’s no organization researching immortality that isn’t problematic; blood calamities always accompany them.
"Its headquarters, that exceedingly ancient human pit, couldn’t be here, could it?"
If so, Qin Ming and Tang Yushang would turn and flee, not wanting to linger even for a moment.
Soon they were certain that neither the God like Association, the Wangsheng yong Organization, or the Strange Insect Alliance have their origins in this realm.
The Forgotten Corner is far distant from those supreme lands.
Qin Ming and Tang Yushang both had serious expressions; this realm was beyond expectation, with the God like Association, Wangsheng yong, and Strange Insect Alliance deeply rooted here—what’s their purpose?
One failed selling magic potion, the other’s image half-ruined; both originally felt the sky had fallen, gradually losing "fight," but as they dug deeper into the "truth of the world," their desire to explore grew ever more intense, utterly engrossed.
"Involving... Longevity Token?"
Tang Yushang, in an unintentional moment of charm, surprisingly attracted an Old Wolf’s covetousness, leading unexpectedly to a breakthrough.
"Da Tang, you’ve made a significant contribution." After capturing the Old Wolf, Qin Ming resonated, discovering the truth.
Actually, this isn’t a big secret; any family with some foundation is aware.
Only outsiders like Qin Ming and them, exploring for the first time, would be utterly in the dark, knowing nothing.
The God like Association, Wangsheng yong, and Strange Insect Alliance—three major organizations have reached into this realm, surprisingly related to a rather mysterious Longevity Token.
The three Supreme Organizations are secretly spending heavily to gather them.
The Forgotten Corner has a special area, apparently requiring a Longevity Token to unlock, and it is rumored that the Heavenly Immortal war back then was fought over this token.
In the entire realm, it’s recorded that there are nine scattered tokens.
Thousands of years have passed, with gods and immortals fighting several bloody battles, yet only six have been found.
Of course, there are also legends that all nine tokens have already been collected.
The local natives, families with Heavenly Immortal legends, all know this secret, but are reluctant to discuss it further, because strife always comes with blood rain and foul wind.
Eventually, some major families have strictly forbidden their people from participating.
The Old Wolf came from a strong family with a very long heritage; it’s said that his ancestors once produced an Eighth Realm Heavenly Wolf, dominating an era.
Of course, such self-glorifying legends aren’t very reliable; many major families claim the bloodline origins of their most glorious times were Heavenly Immortal or Heavenly God, but actually, they were just on the verge of the pinnacle of the Seventh Realm.
In the real world, both Heavenly Gods and Heavenly Immortals are extremely rare.
Qin Ming was astonished, saying, "Hiss, every five hundred years or so, a Longevity Token emerges? Is this artificially controlled pacing, or just a coincidence?" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Calculating the time, another five-hundred-year cycle has arrived; if controlled from the beginning until now, it’s been three thousand years.
If that pattern persists, then the seventh Longevity Token should be emerging.
Who can live so long? Even Heavenly Immortals should be nearing the end of their lifespan.
Moreover, Qin Ming, through resonance, learned that the Old Wolf’s family suspects the seventh Longevity Token may have already been found.
Tang Yushang was very surprised, saying, "Five hundred years per lucky individual, continuing for over three thousand years?"
Soon, Qin Ming discovered from the Old Wolf’s mind that the realm needing a Longevity Token to unlock is vast in area, with different core areas every time it resurfaces.
However, once that ancient land is opened, the phenomenon is astonishing, and many people can see it.
"At that time, there will be radiant ascension rain, which can purify all who enter; as long as they don’t die, they can enhance their root bone, talent, etc., so many knowingly gamble despite the danger."
The holder of the Longevity Token is the lucky one and can be the first to venture inside, with the token protecting him from death in the special realm. Despite this, he may not necessarily laugh last.
"Once this special realm is unlocked, can others also enter?"
Looking at it this way, the lucky one seems more like a key; if he can uncover the greatest creation and slip away quietly, then he’s the biggest winner. If stopped upon leaving, then... it’s very tragic.
In the end, the Old Wolf didn’t need Qin Ming’s resonance anymore; he confessed everything himself.
"Every family with a little foundation knows about this, but you two..." The Old Wolf realized the two before him might be outsiders.
"You know too much."
The Old Wolf’s covetousness for Mao Yushang’s beauty ultimately brought him destruction.
...
Various major families do not endorse descendants risking the dangers, mainly because the death rate is too high there.
However, every time the special realm resurfaces, the disturbance is enormous, inevitably attracting many to go forth.
