Chapter 386: The little saint is really good!

There is nothing wrong with pursuing power and immortality.
As a Blue Star professional, as long as you have a little talent, who doesn't want to have great power and a long life?
However, this point is somewhat abrupt in the Holy Church where faith is more important than anything else.
Especially, this person is also a cardinal archbishop of the Holy See, and has always had a very high status in the Holy See.
In the first trial mission, the ascetic was a famous high-ranking member of the temple, and now he is a person who is inferior to tens of thousands of people.
In a world where gods really exist, it is unreasonable for a person without faith to become the absolute top in a country of faith.
For the little saint, such an existence is an extremely unstable and dangerous factor.
"How did he live for such a long time?" Chen Yu was a little confused.
Professionals on earth, the natural lifespan of a seventh-level expert is more than a thousand years. If you use life-extending consumables, it can be more than two thousand years.
An eighth-level taboo expert can live for more than five thousand years.
But even a ninth-level expert cannot live for tens of thousands of years.
In theory, the natural lifespan of a powerful demigod can reach one hundred thousand years.
As for the powerful true gods, their lifespan is almost infinite. As long as their souls do not fail, they can live forever.

"Heratugus the Ascetic" is obviously not a demigod, let alone a true god. So how does he ignore lifespan and become immune to death?
"I have read ancient books." said the little saint.
"Before the glory of the sublime heaven shone on this world, in that disorderly and barbaric era, personal power grew in disorder. "
"Many unique and weird beings were born. Their power is not the strongest, but they have invented many strange abilities in the pursuit of immortality."
"For example, if you fall into a deep sleep, your life span will be greatly reduced."
"Another example is focusing on cultivating the power of the nature of life, just like you, brother."
"Among the secret techniques that I know, there is one that is the most peculiar and the most effective in extending one's life span. It can indeed enable a mortal to survive for tens of thousands of years."
"What method?" Chen Yu asked immediately.
"Soul splitting technique." The little saint replied.
"This is a powerful soul-based witchcraft."
"The specific principles and usage methods cannot be verified."
"It works by splitting a person's soul into multiple soul fragments."
"After being supplemented and grown, each of these soul fragments can form an independent soul, but there is some connection between them."
"When one soul fragment acts, the other soul fragments remain asleep."
"A sleeping soul will age very slowly."
"When a soul fragment faces disappearance, it will take the initiative to awaken the next fragment."
"How can it still be like this?" Chen Yu was surprised.
Sure enough, the world is full of wonders.
Long life is the eternal pursuit of intelligent creatures.
Chen Yu has never worried about life span, but it does not mean that he does not know the temptation of eternal life.
The desire for survival and the fear of death will naturally give rise to countless strange ways of extending life.
"So, where did his body come from? Does it take over other people's bodies every time he awakens his soul?" Chen Yu asked.
"For a powerful wizard, it is not difficult to create a body that suits him." The little saint said.
"You mean, Heratugus is a powerful wizard from ancient times? The reason for his long-term survival is because of this secret soul-splitting technique?"
"It's possible, but I'm not sure, because I don't know much about the ancient barbaric era, and I don't know if there are any other secret techniques that can keep people alive for a long time." The little saint said.
"However, from the perspective of existence, the state of Heratugus and the secret technique of soul splitting are very similar."
"Every once in a while, he disappears and then reappears."
"When it reappears, its strength and appearance will return to its original state."
"In the process of re-growth, because of different circumstances, the levels that can be reached are also different."
"In the Holy See of the Light Wing Empire, the ascetic Heratugus was the original sage. He was one of the greatest contributors to spreading the glory of the gods and ending the era of chaos. He has a very high prestige in the Holy See."
Every once in a while, the power disappears and the body returns to its youthful state, which makes Chen Yu involuntarily think of "I am the only one who dominates the Eight Desolations and Liuhe".
However, the Tianshan Child's Skill will recover on its own, but the ascetic Heratugus will not and needs to practice again on his own.
This situation is quite consistent with the secret technique of soul splitting described by the little saint.
"Was he the Cardinal Archbishop of the Holy See before? Has he always been sitting in this position?" Chen Yu asked.
"No, he had various identities in the past, and the ascetic was just the most famous one." said the little saint.
"Moreover, it was in my hands that the Holy See of the Light Wing Empire became the leader of the Holy Church, led the Holy See of many worlds, and established the positions of Pope and Cardinal."
"When you came last time, I led the Knights Templar to travel around various empires and repel the invasion of the abyss. The purpose was to unify the power of the Holy See."
"That's it." Chen Yu nodded.
The last time I saw the Knights Templar led by the little saint, they were indeed much stronger than the first time I saw them.
At first, he thought it was the first trial mission, but the Templar Knights did not use their full strength.
Now it seems that the powerful Templar Knights seen in the second trial mission were later developed by the little saint.
"I heard that you gave all the power of the Holy See to this Heratugus? Why did you do this when you knew that he and you were not of the same mind?" Chen Yu asked doubtfully.
"At least on the surface, he is a devout believer and is working hard for me to return to heaven." The little saint smiled.
"He will handle the tasks assigned to him very well, so that I can have my own time."
"On your own time? What are you doing on a daily basis? Practicing?" Chen Yu wanted to complain that the little saint was not doing her job properly.
According to Sophia's description, the little saint's reputation was not very good, and she was immersed in a world of self-satisfaction all day long.
But then I thought about it, wasn't the little saint's transformation caused by being with him during the second trial mission?
"I usually..." The little saint suddenly smiled, like a daffodil blooming under the bright spring light, "I'm always thinking about you~"
In the sweet voice, there is infinite attachment and dependence, but also an imperceptible hint of loneliness and fear.
Chen Yu's expression froze.
Immediately, he opened his arms and took the little saint into his arms.
"Don't worry, we will always be together."
"It's agreed~" The little saint raised her head and stared at Chen Yu with her big watery eyes.
"Well, it's agreed!"
"You must not leave me alone~"
"Absolutely not!"
