Chapter 374: Chapter 374: The Big Boss’s Advice

Gu Fan, Lin Xi, Lu Yi and the others had all hurried over. Seeing Su Hui safe and sound, everyone let out a sigh of relief. They were all delighted. However, seeing the big boss lying on the side, everyone was dumbfounded.

Lu Yi couldn’t help but say, "No way, Sister Su, you’re so powerful."

Su Hui’s face was expressionless as she flatly said, "I’ve done all I can. Now, it’s up to you, Lin Xi."

"Alright, I’ll take the handcuffs from you, Sister Su." Lin Xi took the handcuffs from Su Hui and then recited a spell.

Everyone had no idea what Lin Xi was going to do, but it seemed to be something very impressive. Everyone was staring at Lin Xi without batting an eye.

Under Lin Xi’s control, the handcuffs, now imbued with a spell, flew out and handcuffed the big boss’s hands.

"What?" The big boss’s face turned sour. His futile attempts to break free from the handcuffs were unsuccessful. Furthermore, he seemed unable to recover his Qi, hence, he was powerless to return to his peak state.

Lin Xi had a smirk on his face: "I’m sorry, big boss. My spell can prevent you from recovering. Unless you can break these handcuffs in your current state, don’t think about escaping as long as these handcuffs are on you."

"Qian Ye, you really annoy me." After the big boss said this, his gaze shifted to Leng Le who was hiding behind the crowd. He quickly looked away, pretending not to see her.

Leng Le was secretly shocked. She had not expected the big boss to be defeated and it seemed like he was set to become a prisoner.

Of course, Leng Le wanted to save the big boss, but she was surrounded by Gu Fan’s people. She didn’t have the capability or the opportunity to rescue him.

At this moment, Du Changhui was touching the crystal coffin, looking very hopeful: "Who can tell me what this thing is? Is it related to eternal life?"

The big boss kept silent, Su Hui was not in the mood to speak, and Lin Xi was also clueless. Everyone else was curious about the crystal coffin.

Luo Jingrong noticed that the magical array set on the ground was identical to the one in the diagrams. Also, the marks on the middle position and the placement of the crystal coffin appeared similar. Suddenly, Luo Jingrong understood something: "This crystal coffin might be the key to eternal life. As long as Lin Xi lies in the crystal coffin, she can truly achieve eternal life."

Du Changhui agreed with Luo Jingrong’s guess. Then, a thrilled Du Changhui handed an elixir to Lin Xi. This elixir was found in Qianye Country, and was the most complete one they could create using the remaining half of Luo Jingrong’s formula.

They had found twelve people born on the same day, the magical array had been drawn, the mantra had been cast, and now it was simply a matter of Lin Xi taking the elixir and laying in the crystal coffin to achieve immortality.

Lin Xi took the elixir and put it in her mouth. Under the watchful eyes of Du Changhui, Luo Jingrong and the others, she entered the crystal coffin, closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

"We wil make it, we all depend on you now." Du Changhui was excited, his pursuit of eternal life had reached a fanatical level. His son, Du Jun, was standing quietly beside him, showing no sign of interest.

Luo Jingrong was thrilled. "Gu Fan, do you see? Lin Xi may obtain eternal life, and since you are also involved, once she comes out and casts a spell linking us to her, we can also live forever."

Upon hearing this, Gu Fan and the others felt itchy. Thinking of immortality seemed too enticing to ignore, everyone had ventured this far facing numerous risks, and gaining some advantage didn’t seem too much, and on top of it all, it was an immense benefit.

Only the big boss shouted furiously, "Immortality should not exist! It only fuels the ambitions of mankind and will lead to our self-destruction. Look at the results of the ancient super civilization. Do you know why they didn’t take these things away when they left?"

"Screw you, who let you talk back." Du Changhui was displeased and wanted to rough him up a bit, but the big boss’s fierce gaze immediately discouraged him.

Everyone appeared frightened by the big boss, despite him presently being incapacitated.

The big boss continued, "Gu Fan, I’ve always thought you were different, your approach to thinking is also different. You must agree with me. And when it comes to eternal life, my opinion carries the most weight. It is not a good thing at all. You will have an endless life, you will experience a lot, you will see through a lot, you will become stronger and then begin to become numb to everything around you, you will let go of your feelings, your hopes, and even your humanity. When you have the power to manipulate others like puppets, your ambition will be triggered. You will view people as ants, and over time you will slowly transform into another person, because everything about ordinary people will lose all meaning to you."

Listening to these words, Gu Fan was taken aback, feeling that this was a heartfelt expression from the big boss.

The big boss continued, "There was once a woman I loved dearly. For her, I slaughtered the entire Eternal Life Clan. Now when I think back, I find that I no longer love her. I’ve even forgotten her face, her name, her voice. In my endless life, I’ve had countless women. True feelings no longer have any purpose for me. My life is drawn out and I can do anything. I have no regrets and I don’t value anything."

"In pursuit of eternal life, many will transform into another person. After attaining eternal life, they will again transform into another..." He was about to continue when Rodrigo stormed over and abruptly cut him off.

"You’ve obtained eternal life, so you hope others can’t have it." Luo Jingrong’s point was valid, and everyone scornfully directed their gazes at the big boss.

"Hahahaha, you’re right. I admit, I don’t want more people like me dominating this world, so I did everything I could to destroy this place. But everything I said before is also true. After gaining endless time, do you really think you will still cherish everything around you?" Having said that, the big boss chuckled coldly.

Gu Fan didn’t respond, but crossed his arms and watched Lin Xi in the crystal coffin. However, he noticed the completely contrasting expressions on father and son, Du Changhui and Du Jun. Du Changhui was hopeful, while Du Jun was calm. What could settle this difference? Could it be that Du Jun was not at all interested in immortality?

Gu Fan didn’t believe that in this world, anyone would not be tempted by immortality. Even the ancient emperors were unable to resist, ordinary people were even less qualified. Du Jun would definitely be tempted, unless he already knew...
