War had begun on the lower realm. The humans didnt dare to fight and continued to fall back, allowing the other races to take their land while they gathered and built a defense
The other races only pushed them back before throwing their attraction towards the sea race. The sea race was the most mysterious race in this lower realm, although the human emperor was considered to be the strongest.
Not even he dared to fight the sea race. The ocean was filled with many treasures and dangers, all under the control of the sea emperor.
With all the landraces working together, they could at most fight the sea race into a standstill. But how could people in the cultivation world work so well together?
It didn't take long for the landrace to began fighting amongst each other. Allowing the sea race to get an upper hand and set foot in the land.
This all took place within 2 months, all of which Ling Han used to go around the world. killing every dark elf immortal which came to this lower realm
Currently, Ling Han was sitting in the spirit farm. Opposite to the tree of life.
"This is the liquid of youth. If you drink it, you will never die. Even if someone with a mastery of the Dao of death came, they wouldn't kill you." She said as water with a soft golden light floated in front of her
"this liquid makes you truly immortal. you will have an infinite lifespan and would be able to heal from any injuries." She said seeing how Ling Han didn't get the liquid
"What is life without an ending? It's like a story that goes on forever without an end. you would get bored of it sooner or later." Ling Han said calmly. The tree of life eyes went blank, not comprehending Ling Han words
She never thought that anyone would ever give up at the chance to truly become immortal. In infinite lifespan, which would let one use any skills without having to worry about the drawbacks to their body or soul.
"but everyone what's to live forever." She said as she began breathing heavily. Slowly her hair began turning black. An evil deathly air came off her before spreading out and skill many plants within the spirit far.
"i'm finally out." an evil void sounded, as the only pure, holy elf had turned into an evil elf.
Ling Han, who had entered the black tower, reappeared, sighing at the death which was caused in his spirit farm.
"haha, I can't believe you passed up on immortality." She said, seeing Ling Han turn his attention towards her.
"living forever without a way to end your life would get boring. Life is nothing without death and the same way as to how death is nothing without life." Ling Han said, stunning her for a moment
"on, hurry up. tell me how I can beat her." She said quickly
"call me master, and I will tell you." Ling Han said with a smile.
"what? Know your place. You are just an ant before." She said angrily
"you must be proud of yourself to ask for help from an ant." Ling Han said mockingly
"y-you." She pointed her finger at Ling Han, voice shaking from rage.
*successfully enraged the tree of death for 999 rage points.*
"snort. don't enrage me, or else I will make it so every person you kill will never be absorbed by you." She said coldly
"oh, so you know of the way I cultivate." Ling Han asked with slight shock
"of course. I have of everything that dies. I also know that you absorb the restatement energy and blood too quickly breakthrough. you know, all of that is a branch path of the Dao of death." She said with a mocking smile
"so, you are saying I should teach the tree of life to destroy you?" Ling Han asked with narrowed eyes. She froze at Ling Han words before she forced a smile
"Then die... why can't I use my power?" She was about to attack Ling Han, only to realize she could use her Dao.
"This is my world. I can cut it off from the outside world. You are Dao that has taken form. Your strength might be ranked high in Pangu world, but in here. The Dao is completely different. You are like a fish out of water. Or infinity stone that has felt its universe. you are completely powerless if I so wish." Ling Han said calmly
"... what's an infinity stone? wait, you are like pangu? impossible," Her eyes were wide as she took a step backward
'I was hoping for something like infinity stones to be in this world.' Ling Han thought with slight disappointment
"Like Pangu? Pangu would wish to be like me. he used his life to create his world, while I did it with my current cultivation, and i'm still alive." Ling Han said as he shook his head.
She frowned slightly at Ling Han's words. to her, Pangu was like her father. He created the Dao, the heavens, and the earth.
She didn't like how Ling Han was speaking about him like that.
*successfully enraged The tree of death for 999 rage points.*
"no need to be mad. Pangu is like my great-great-uncle or something. I respect the guy. I mean, you don't see anyone going out of their way to do what he did." Ling Han said calmly
"... snort." She snorted coldly before suddenly realizing that she wasn't slowly disappearing.
"you have never had a chance to enjoy the meaning of living. come here." Ling Han said as he appeared next to the river. The tree of death slowly walked over. She remembered that the tree of life would drink from this river every day
"Go ahead and drink it." Ling Han said calmly
"snort. food is for those living." She said with a snort before turning her head away from the liver.
"you can't really say that. why do people who are immortal and don't need to eat still eat?" Ling Han asked, stunning her for a moment
She hesitated for a few seconds before cupping her hands and gathering some water. she drank it slightly before her eyes widened
Her heart which never beat moved slightly. after a moment of being stunned, She snorted as she disdainfully looked at the water
"I guess it tastes alright." She said arrogantly
"I see. How about this." Ling Han asked as an apple appeared in his hands. He threw it to her, which she caught before taking a soft bite.
She let out a soft moan before covering her face with a slight blush.
"is it that good?" Ling Han asked with a smile
"... yes." She said subconsciously before her blush grew. Ling Han smiled as he went on to give her the best food, from meat to vegetables.
"Now that you gained some of the pleasures of life. you haven't felt the thing most humans would search after all their life." Ling Han said with a smile
"what's that?" She asked softly. She was currently questioning her very being. Even she wanted to live to enjoy this stuff, but once she regains her strength. Her sense of taste would disappear.
"come close." Ling Han said softly. She nodded as she walked over.
"go ahead and kiss me." Ling Han said with a smile
Her face instantly turned red as she stepped away from Ling Han.
"why would I ever want to kiss you." She said in disgust, but Ling Han just shrugged
"If you don't want to find out the pleasure so many people want, then never mind." Ling Han said with a shrug. Hearing Ling Han's words, she hesitated before walking over to Ling Han.
She slowly brought her lips close to Ling Han's cheek, but Ling Han suddenly turned. Making her lips connect with his
Her eyes widened slightly as she felt Ling Han's tongue make its way into her mouth. Her heartbeat quicken as she subconsciously moved her tongue to connect with his.
The two wrapped their hands around each other before She pushed Ling Han away.
"what are you doing?" She said, regaining her senses. But when she remembered that kiss, and how she lost herself in that kiss. And almost melted into his arm, her heart quickened
"cough, that was my first time. I got carried away." Ling Han said with a slight cough of embarrassment
"... why are you making me go through this? I get it, living an amazing." She said in a low voice,
"that not it. Imagine waking up to eat this every day. It wouldn't take long for one to get used to this and soon get bored of it. The same can be said to all pleasures of life by that time. Living would be boring, and death would feel like a gift." Ling Han said as he licked his lips slightly.
"so... you say?" She asked with brighten eyes
"a world without death is hell. Without you, things would fall into chaos. Instant of trying to beat life, work together. By then, who knows. with the power of life and death, you might be able to gain a living body." Ling Han said as he held out his hand
"really?" Her eyes brightened slightly, as she hesitated before grabbing his hand.
"of course. this time don't fight for control, by to communicate with her." Ling Han said as he pulled her into his arm for another kiss, but she dodged at the last second, but her eye jumped when Ling Han hand grabbed her butt
She quickly got out of his hands. This man will keep taking advantage of her if she doesn't watch out.
She sat down as she felt her power returning to her. This time she followed Ling Han's words and didn't try to fight her other half but try and talk to her.
She slowly opened her eyes as she appeared in her inner mind. There she saw her other face floating around.
Seeing someone suddenly appear in from of her. The tree of life was confused. To her, she thought this was all but a dream.
"Who are you?" The tree of life asked curiously
"i'm your other half. the tree of death." She replied calmly, but she was slightly worried. what if the tree of life wanted to fight her
"... there is a tree of life in this world?" The tree of life of confused, as she never heard of the Dao of Death taking on physical form.
"i'm your other half. You have locked me within here for billions of years," She said softly
"... I did no such thing." The tree of life said with a shake of her head.
"you did it subconsciously. Life came before death. So you were slightly stronger. I couldn't contact you. Only you could have... but you never did." She said softly
"... i'm sorry. I never meant to hurt anyone, you went through so much. all alone in this place. it's all my fault " The tree of life flew over, holding her hands before looking into her eyes with tearful eyes.
"... it's alright." The tree of death, hearing her words, smiled. for so long, she wished to get her revenge, but now that she came so close to her. she couldn't bring herself to stay mad at her
Back to Ling Han, he walked out of the house in the spirit farm after throwing away a empty box of tissue and lotion.
He calmly fixed up his clothes before walking towards the spot he kept the 30 immortal dark elves. he smiled slightly before he began absorbing their blood
when his cultivation reached level 9 and was just a step away from entering the void-shattering realm, he left the spirit farm to face his tribulation.
*sensing host has broken through to void shattering realm. Searching for world...*
