Chapter 1339: The Seven-Thousand-Year Agreement (Second update, please subscribe!)

If you work hard enough, you can grind an iron pestle into a needle.

One by one, the Deviant corpses were meticulously dissected, studied in depth, and finally reduced to the initial materials for creating silicon-based life.

Su Quan devoted himself wholeheartedly to his research, forgetting to eat and sleep. Let alone Ajak and Thena, even Sersi and Makkari, whom he had originally intended to flirt with, were left behind by him.

The first page of the sword manual: forget your sweetheart.

The last page of the sword manual: no women, you will definitely become a god.

Su Quan is now in a god-like state. Whatever "one big covers everything," dashing female warrior, gentle and pretty girl, or electric motor—all of them can get out of the way. Women will only affect the speed of his sword drawing!

Day after day passed like this. I don't know how many days had passed when Su Quan, who was studying the Deviant core, suddenly waved his fist forcefully in a state of loss of composure.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound actually came from the space in front, and a not-so-obvious space crack slowly emerged, producing faint cracks.

"Ah..."

A woman's exclamation followed, and soon stopped abruptly.

Su Quan, who had calmed down, looked over at the sound and saw Sersi covering her mouth, standing not far away with a look of horror.

"Why are you here?" Su Quan asked in surprise.

Sersi explained awkwardly: "I came to deliver the Deviant corpses. I, I have been here for a while."

Maybe he was too focused. Su Quan had no impression, but Sersi came at the right time. He had thoroughly figured out the structure of the Deviants and was already confident in studying the Eternals without harming their lives.

"Hum!"

Psychic ability was released, and Sersi instantly lost control of her body, and then floated up, lying on Su Quan's research table like those Deviant corpses.

Sersi was instantly stunned. Is, is this going to dissect me like a Deviant?

He, he finally took action against the Eternals?!

"Swish—"

Su Quan, who only had research on his mind, didn't know what kind of misunderstanding his action of not even saying hello had caused Sersi. He directly waved his hand from a distance, dispersed Sersi's uniform, and then looked at her intently.

X-ray vision could not penetrate Sersi's body. This point was the same as the Deviants, otherwise he wouldn't have needed to use dissection.

Su Quan wrapped Sersi with cosmic energy to ensure that her life state would not have any problems, and then extended Wolverine's claws, gently scratching across her body...

In no time, Sersi was like an opened suitcase, displayed inside and out, thoroughly, before Su Quan's eyes.

"This... what is going on?!"

Looking at her own opened body, Sersi didn't even care about the pain and the threat to her life, and shouted at Su Quan in disbelief: "What did you do to me?! Why is my body... all metal?"

"This is very reasonable."

Su Quan observed Sersi's internal structure attentively while explaining: "The life forms and body materials of the Eternals and Deviants are almost the same. The difference is that Deviants can absorb external energy to evolve, while you Eternals were already fixed the moment you were born."

"Impossible!"

"How could we be the same as Deviants? This is absolutely impossible!"

Su Quan smiled and looked up at Sersi. In Sersi's eyes, there was nothing but panic.

"Because your creator is Arishem!"

"No, impossible. We were ordered by the Celestial Arishem to eliminate Deviants. If we were all creations of Arishem, how could Arishem let us eliminate Deviants?"

"This doesn't make sense!"

Su Quan scoffed: "There is nothing that doesn't make sense. You were all created by Arishem to nurture new Celestials. Arishem first created Deviants, but Deviants had their own thinking, hunting intelligent life everywhere, affecting the birth of new Celestials."

"So Arishem created you, fixed your abilities and forms, controlled your memories and thinking, let you solve the disobedient Deviants, and take over the Deviants' work."

Sersi subconsciously wanted to refute, but opened her mouth and didn't know what to say.

Eternals do not age and do not die, and their abilities are fixed from the moment they are born. This constant state indeed does not conform to the characteristics of natural organisms.

And...

The Eternals' only enemy is the Deviants, and their only mission is to maintain the development balance of intelligent life. Thinking about it calmly, this is indeed very strange!

"Could it be... everything he said is true? Are we really created by Arishem to eliminate Deviants and replace them?"

"Why! Why not tell us the truth? Could it be that Arishem really deceived us?"

Sersi looked at Su Quan, who was studying her, and felt a sense of sorrow. In his eyes, should they, these Eternals, be no different from Deviants?

"Do, do you have any evidence?" Sersi asked unwillingly...

"Thena knows the truth, you can go ask her, but it's best not to let others know about this matter. Now is not the time for them to know the truth."

Su Quan reminded her while using cosmic energy to heal Sersi's wounds, making her return to being a gentle and pretty girl.

"You, you're done studying?" Sersi asked in surprise.

Su Quan nodded with satisfaction: "You and the Deviants are almost the same in essence, only with slight differences in structure. Looking at it once, I know what's going on."

"How does the saying go? It's not difficult for those who know, and it's difficult for those who don't!"

Su Quan signaled that she could get up, and then, as if thinking of something, said with a smile: "Wanda and I will leave soon. The next time we meet, it should be seven thousand years later. How about we make an agreement?"

Sersi got up and asked hesitantly: "What agreement?"

"In these seven thousand years, you can do anything, except you cannot fall in love with anyone, and you cannot have any emotional involvement with anyone!"

"You must keep yourself pure for me!"

This request made Sersi stunned for a moment. They came to carry out a mission, carrying great love to maintain the ecological balance of intelligent life on this planet, and had never considered personal emotional problems.

And...

Knowing the cruel truth, she had even less of a mind for this aspect.

"Okay."

"But..."

Sersi wanted to know why she had to do this, and what she could get by doing so.

"Seven thousand years later, I will come to find you and help you get rid of Arishem's control and punishment!"

The biggest dilemma for the Eternals is that even if they know the truth, even if they are full of anger...

But Arishem, as the judge among the Celestials and the creator of the Eternals, is simply not someone they can resist or contend with.
