Chapter 769: This Is Quite Nice Too
"Once you take the path of ghost cultivation, your lifespan becomes virtually infinite. Moreover, you will be loathed by heaven and earth, making transcendence incredibly difficult to achieve..."
Chen Changsheng paused for a moment. "The longer you live, the greater the torment," he said. "The people you know and hold dear will gradually leave your side, yet you will be powerless to change it. Although it grants boundless might and a long life, once they truly face it, a great many people no longer wish to live forever."
"Zhishu understands."
"Do you truly understand?"
"I do."
A leaf drifted down from the tree in the corner of the courtyard.
It fell into the soil, where it would nourish the plants and trees in the coming year.
A long while later, a sigh echoed through the courtyard.
Chen Changsheng saw no blindness or ignorance in Zhishu's eyes. On the contrary, she was utterly resolute in her choice.
