Eternal Punishment Dragon in Prison

Chapter 163 The difficulty of immortality
"what reason?"

The Lord of Dreams blinked and said curiously.

He only knows that Murphy once visited immortality and then fell.

But I don’t know what the specific reason is.

After all, immortality is a matter of personal privacy and cannot be easily disclosed to others.

Maybe the Dream Lord from the previous abandoned timeline knows.

But it was not passed down as information, and it was not too important to think about.

Murphy said in an understatement: "Because I can't go back to the past, naturally there is no future."

After hearing this, the Lord of Dreams suddenly became enlightened and suddenly realized: "That's it! I thought it was some special reason."

"Your reason is also the fundamental reason why most living beings cannot become immortal."

Murphy once believed that the connection between the immortal characteristics in the past and the future was to transmit information to each other on the same timeline.

But in fact it is not.

Look at it from a hyper-timing perspective.

Each timeline has its own sequence.

The immortal characteristic is that the so-called connection between the past and the future is actually just a connection between the past and the super-chronological past.

In other words, the immortality property can transfer the information contained in the previous timeline to the next timeline.

Judging from the performance, could it be that the immortal existence connects the past and the future?

Therefore, all the future and past information that the immortal existence so-called receives comes from the past timeline that has disappeared in the super-time sequence.

This is why Murphy said that the Dream Lord "should try to convey as much information as possible to the 'future' in the future."

If you commit suicide because you were sealed, wait for the next timeline to come again.

Isn’t it possible to send information to the new timeline, the “future self”?
Then in the new timeline, I will be at a disadvantage.

Moreover, even if it is sealed.

No new information can be obtained.

The Dream Lord can also copy the information from the previous timeline and transmit it directly to the next timeline.

It doesn't mean that you can't do anything after being sealed.

This is the current state of the multiverse.

Otherwise, after those gods failed, they would simply accept their fate.

Not struggling, not resisting, not seeking resurrection and other means, just ruined.

In this way, there is truly no future.

And the reason why Murphy fell from immortality.

It's because he has no future in the vanished past timeline.

It’s nothing without the past.

After all, immortality is, at best, the past, not immortality.

But if there is no future, then the future is not immortal.

To put it simply, if you want to become immortal, there must be a time period in the previous timeline that can transmit information to the next timeline.

As long as you can accept this information, you will be immortal.

Of course, generally speaking, as long as you can become immortal.

The future of the previous timeline that disappeared on China Unicom.

By receiving the information conveyed there, the Immortal will become stronger and stronger.

Originally weak, incomplete immortality.

It will also become stronger.

It will also become complete.

Gradually extending towards the end of the multiverse.

Then in turn, more and more future information from the previous timeline can be received.

The cycle repeats.

The left foot steps on the right foot and goes up to the sky, gradually getting stronger.

Until a threshold is reached, which is the upper limit of bandwidth.

Immortality will stop only when it becomes stronger.

Then maintaining an equilibrium speed becomes stronger and stronger as time goes by.

The specific value of this speed depends on the strength of the immortal characteristic.

And Murphy did become stronger the moment he became immortal.

But the speed at which he becomes stronger cannot exceed the speed at which his own immortality extends.

So that the extension of the immortal characteristics on the timeline stops, and the immortal state cannot be extended to the end of the multiverse.

In this way, Murphy will naturally fall into immortality.

Yes, immortality is a state.

The most perfect, most ideal ones are definitely those that will last until the end of the multiverse.

Imperfect as Murphy faced Apos.

Only a short timeline is immortal.

This timeline has been locked in a sense.

Since there is no immortal state that lasts into the future.

Murphy won't get stronger endlessly.

It will only remain at this level.

He even used certain abilities to change the past, allowing Murphy to choose to change history at that time, which might also shorten the duration of Murphy's immortal state.

Of course, it's also possible that Murphy's immortal state will be extended.

For example, the complicated information generated by the battle with Apos was saved and replaced with knowledge about immortality.

"So, Pique, in order for me to regain immortality, I need your knowledge to perfect the immortal characteristics."

"As long as it can perfect my immortal characteristics."

"Let it have the possibility to extend to the end of the multiverse."

"I can ascend to immortality."

The Lord of Dreams shook his head: "It's not that easy."

"The reason why you fell into immortality seems simple, but it is the most difficult to solve."

"Think about it, you and me in the last timeline."

"The knowledge you possess is not enough to make you immortal again, let alone you and me now."

"And the seeds of immortality have fallen, taking root in the timeline."

"If you want to regain immortality, you must go back to that point in time."

"Let you at that point in time have enough knowledge to extend your immortality to the end of time."

"Otherwise, even if you are sure to perfect your immortal characteristics in the future, you will never be able to become immortal again."

Murphy was shocked. It seemed that he had thought of things too simply.

"The seed of immortality, what is this?"

The Lord of Dreams said: "This is a reward in the multiverse for the creatures who have fulfilled their epic destiny. It cannot be seen, touched, or sensed."

"But it is the key to the previous timeline that China Unicom has disappeared without even leaving any physical traces."

"Without it, no matter how strong your immortality is, you will not be able to become immortal."

"To be precise, the immortality with the immortal seed is the real immortality. You may try to ascend to immortality after falling into immortality."

"It turned out to be completely ineffective."

"This is the immortal characteristic you have prepared, because there is no immortal seed."

After hearing this, Murphy finally understood everything.

It turns out that there is still such a barrier to regaining immortality, and it is far from as simple as perfecting the characteristics of immortality.

"How does the multiverse determine whether a creature has fulfilled its epic destiny?"

"If the potential of immortality is limited, it is not yet perfected enough to extend to the end of time."

"If the multiverse rewards this creature with immortality at this time, wouldn't it directly deceive this creature?"

"This is not fair!"

Murphy felt he had been cheated.

If he had been given longer time, how could he have encountered such an embarrassing thing.

This simply increases the difficulty of ascending to immortality.

Let’s not even talk about the amount of knowledge required to perfect Murphy’s immortality.

It means sending this knowledge back to the past.

Let his past self perfect his immortality.

It's not that relaxing at all.

Even the Cambert Psychic Association used the high-level artifact Cambert's Eye to return to the past several years ago, causing the artifact to be damaged.

I don’t even know whether I am cultivating well or not.

And I don’t know how many years passed after Murphy obtained the knowledge that was enough to perfect the immortal characteristics.Who can send him back to the past?

Neither can other immortals.

Even these immortals agree.

There are still two problems to face.

First, the bandwidth is limited and cannot transmit so much information.

The second is that in the past, Murphy's immortal state lasted too short and could not receive much information.

There are also a series of problems such as loss of calculation information.

This is simply impossible task.

The Lord of Dreams tilted his head like Murphy: "How do I know so much?"

"If I understand this, I won't be unable to fulfill my epic destiny."

"But I know one thing, that is in the legendary story."

"The protagonist will always burst out with unimaginable power when facing the final enemy."

“Yet after the past, most cannot be preserved.”

"Maybe the multiverse felt that these protagonists were ready to die, so they planted the seeds of immortality in them to keep them alive."

"As for what happens next, it has nothing to do with the multiverse."

Murphy: "..."

He somewhat understood that this was probably Abos's problem.

At that time, he only had a hint of consciousness.

But who knows what methods Abos has, it is possible to follow his consciousness and kill his true body.

"It's not that simple, is it?"

"There should be other factors, such as the perception of one's own immortal characteristics."

"Otherwise it's just a realm of death. It's quite simple to create an immortal."

The Lord of Illusions and Dreams said: "I'm just metaphorically speaking. I really don't know what it's like."

"Wait until one day I can know the secret of this multiverse."

"Maybe I am a god."

"And once the seed of immortality is planted, you will be immortal for that period of time."

"Even if there is no past and no future, it is the same."

"No matter how short time is, no matter how the timeline changes."

"It will be difficult to obtain the second immortal seed at that time."

Murphy said in a deep voice: "Pique, you mean that few people can complete the second epic destiny?"

"Then you said you didn't fulfill your epic destiny, but how did you get your immortality?"

The Lord of Dreams nodded, smiled and said, "Of course."

"The second epic destiny?"

“How can the multiverse give losers a second chance?”

"As for my immortality, that is my own secret."

The Lord of Dreams' words completely overturned Murphy's little calculation.

On the road to immortality, progress without regrets.

It is simply impossible to choose the second epic destiny.

In the multiverse, there is no such option for you.

"Pique, but I still have doubts. What is the difference between the ability of immortality to connect time and space and [time regression]?"

As a level nine power [time regress], although Murphy knows it, he has never used it once so far.

Because there was no chance to use it, [Time Rewind] was banned by Oceanus.

Haven't even used it personally.

Therefore, Murphy's understanding of [Time Rewind] is really limited.

Just know that it can turn back time.

If we could turn back time, wouldn't that change history?

How will the timeline change as a result?

This ability may be Murphy's only way to achieve immortality.

So he must find out.

The Lord of Dreams sighed with emotion: "[Time goes backwards]!"

"How should I put it? This is not a law of the multiverse itself at all."

"But the laws from a distant country."

“So I don’t understand what [time reversal] is all about.”

"Based on my observation and use of [Time Rewind], I found that it is an information transmission ability with extremely high authority."

"Ability far beyond the characteristics of immortality."

"Exhibited when the immortal existence of this timeline begins to change history."

"First, a timeline focusing on [time regression] will be generated."

"And it's not like the immortality feature, which is a timeline chosen by everyone."

"Rather, it has its own time sequence, and it is subdivided into front and back within the same time sequence."

"The earlier [time goes backwards] in the same sequence, the later [time goes backwards] will be covered."

Just like Fela from the Campbell Psychic Research Association, if he uses time to go back several times, the timeline that appears will always be the same in his opinion.

Only Fela herself is different, carrying the message of the future.

And then Fela was going to go back in time again.

The president of their association, Uluchimo, went back to an earlier timeline and covered up what he had done.

"Unfortunately, this [time regression] is a law from a different universe."

"It's very easy to ban it."

"Unlike the immortal trait, it cannot be banned at all."

"However, this ability to turn back time."

"It's not everything."

“The more time you turn back, the greater the cost.”

"A high-level artifact like the Eye of Cambert is basically useless after being used by the Cambert Psychic Research Association, and there is no way it can be repaired."

When Murphy heard this, he also knew the information about [Time Regression], and also knew that he had misunderstood it before.

It turns out that [Time Rewind] is essentially a kind of information transmission.

Not unlike the immortality trait.

Of course, since there is only one copy of matter in the multiverse from the beginning to the present.

For creatures without super-time and space vision.

This is truly a step back in time.

And Murphy is not surprised that the master of fantasy dreams can [reverse time] as a mage.

At their point, there are too many ways to master psychic powers.

Murphy saluted the Lord of Dreams and said sincerely: "Pique, now that you understand my flaws."

"You should understand that the sooner you perfect the immortal characteristics, the more critical it is for me to ascend to immortality."

"So please pass on your knowledge to me."

"Even if we failed against Oceanus."

"I can also help you escape your inevitable fate."

The Lord of Dreams shook his head helplessly: "Murphy, these are all empty words."

"Unless you can truly show me the possibility of immortality."

"Even if there is only a slight chance."

"I will do my best to help you."

The meaning of the Lord of Dreams is very clear, that is, even if his timeline fails, it is impossible for Murphy to gain knowledge in vain.

After all, this knowledge was accumulated bit by bit over the long years and was hard-won.

How could this be taught to Murphy so easily?
What's more, no one can predict what will happen in the future.

If the two sides become hostile in the future, wouldn't this knowledge give Murphy an advantage?

"Exchange, I mean exchange of knowledge."

"I will tell you what I have learned."

"Tell me your accumulation."

Seeing that persuasion was ineffective, Murphy had no choice but to change his approach.

He regretted that he still couldn't have sex for free.

After hearing this, the Lord of Dreams jumped down from the tree where he was sitting, and said with a smile: "This is what you said, and you are not allowed to go back on it."
