In fact, the Immortal World isn't as good as you think.

Those immortals who have lived too long love nothing more than playing games of schemes and plots.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Taking action is a low-class hobby for them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For example, the chaos of the Shang and Zhou dynasties was just a tacitly understood game between many factions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Master said that to lose one's humanity is to lose much, and to lose one's bestiality is to lose everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But my Master also said one more thing...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Being an immortal is very boring. In a long life, both humanity and bestiality will eventually be lost.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps you don't feel that way now, but when you reach the supreme peak and spend hundreds of millions, tens of billions of years in loneliness, after countless eras have passed, looking back, you will find you have lost it all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, what do immortals rely on to maintain the final clarity of their minds?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaotian looked at Jiang Yan, who pursed his lips into a smile and said faintly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Old Ancestor once taught me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A sense of humor is the final weapon of a living being.
