Marven smiled and said, “You’re not lying.”
Brovnen, thinking Marven had believed his lie, immediately nodded and said,
“Yes, little brother, I’m telling you the truth!”
Marven shook his head and smiled,
“No, no, no, that’s not what I meant.”
Seeing his malicious smile, Brovnen quickly asked,
“Then… then what do you mean?”
Marven smiled and said, “What I mean is,”
“You weren’t lying when you said you spent most of your time cultivating and had little social experience.”
“Because your lying skills are even worse than a primary school student’s.”
Brovnen’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said innocently,
“Brother, what do you mean by that?”
“I really didn’t lie!”
Marven sneered, “You said you…”
“You’ve found a clue to unlocking the Gate of Ascension,”
“But when I sensed you with my spiritual energy,”
“You were clearly meditating, not at all like you were trying to find a solution.”
“Besides, you yourself said that the Gate of Ascension was left behind by thest batch of ascended cultivators.”
“Those who could ascend were far stronger than you, far stronger than me.”
“To them, we are as insignificant as ants.”
“If they wanted to create something to keep us out,”
“It would be as simple as humans creating a sealed ss jar to keep ants out.”
“An ant, even if it swarms around a sealed ss jar until it dies,”
“Could never figure out a way to get in.”
Brovnen immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
In his eyes, Marven was truly difficult to deal with,
Unyielding to both soft and hard approaches,
Andcking basic trust.
He simply couldn’t persuade him,
Just as he himself had no way to enter the Gate of Ascension.
Thinking of this, he said with a mournful face,
“Young brother, even if you kill me, you still won’t be able to get in.”
“If you spare my life, it will be of some help to you.”
“Why do you have to be so ruthless?”
Marven smiled and said,
“I never intended to enter any ascension gate,”
“So I don’t need your help at all.”
Brovnen retorted, “Don’t you want to break free from the shackles of this Dharma-ending Age?!”
“Don’t you want to ascend to immortality one day?!”
Marven sneered, “So what if you ascend?”
“After ascending, does that mean you won’t have to fight anymore?”
“You’re a loser in this world,”
“Won’t you be even more of a loser after ascending?”
“You need to know, maybe no one has ascended for thousands of years.”
“And their cultivation over there is thousands of years ahead of yours.”
“You think you’ll be stronger after ascending?”
“But have you considered that strength and weakness are rtive?”
“With your cultivation, in this world, there are probably no more than a hundred people who can surpass you.”
“Here, you’re a superior person,”
“But when you go to a ce where everyone around you is stronger than you,”
“You’ll be a subordinate person.”
“Don’t you understand this simple principle?”
Brovnen’s expression froze, suddenly realizing that what Marven said seemed to make sense.
On Earth, besides this opportunistic ba5tard in front of him,
The only person who could control him was probably Victoria.
But if he went through all those hardships only to end up as a newbie in a world full of powerful beings,
Wouldn’t that feel incredibly frustrating?
However, thinking about that now seemed pointless,
Since even surviving today was uncertain.
So, he could only try to persuade Marven:
“Young brother, immortality is impossible in this world.”
“A thousand years is the limit,”
“But after ascension, one bes immortal and eternal!”
Marven snorted. “Sure, eternal—but what’s it actually worth?”
“In this world, there are cedar trees that can live up to ten thousand years.”
“Twice the lifespan of human civilization.”
“But even such trees can be cut down at the base in just a few tens of minutes by lumberjacks.”
“Immortality is only possible if no one kills you.”
“In the world after ascension, even if the Heavenly Dao doesn’t kill you,”
“There are plenty of people who can!”
