Chapter 644

Stelle: "Got it, it must be some cutting-edge tech we can't wrap our heads around!"

Stelle: "Truly worthy of a major faction—even their transportation has this much tech packed into it."

Xing: "So, actually, what I really want to know is whether this arena warship is bigger, or my Radiant Spargo is bigger?"

March 7th: "Well... I guess we'll only find out after we get up there."

The video continues.

【But right now we can only wait a few weeks until the Martial Arts Ceremony opens before we'll get a chance to board the ship.】

【Before that, the two of us can't slack on work either—that's why we're asking you, is there anywhere worth visiting?】

The Pippy girl said immediately after.

【We're hoping to find that kind of special experience that's rarely seen in Penacony's everyday dreams.】

【Our clients love these dream bubbles the most.】

The Intelligentsia added a line.

【Stelle, you know this place best—hurry up and give them some ideas~】

March 7th tossed the question to Stelle.

【Then let's go climb to the top of the Jianmu!】

Stelle said, hands on hips, in a joking tone.

【Hey! Don't go giving people shady ideas like that that'll get them arrested!】

March 7th facepalmed, speechless.

Furina: "What's this about shady ideas that'll get you arrested?"

Furina: "What exactly is this Jianmu thing?"

Furina: "I've heard you guys discussing it several times just now."

Furina: "Can you not climb this thing?"

Miss Qingque: "Of course you can't!"

Miss Qingque: "Jianmu is Luo Fu's taboo!"

Hu Tao: "Taboo?"

Hu Tao: "Sounds like some kind of rare treasure."

Paimon: "R-rare treasure?!"

Paimon: "Wow!"

Paimon: "Then it must be spectacular, right?"

Bai Lu: "You must have misunderstood something."

Bai Lu: "Jianmu can't really be called a rare treasure these days."

Bai Lu: "Calling it a calamity would be more accurate."

Stelle: "Calamity?"

Stelle: "How so?"

Brother Dan Heng: "From the earlier popular science segment, you should roughly know about the opposition between the Xianzhou Alliance and the Abundance's Remnants."

Brother Dan Heng: "And this Jianmu can be considered the source of it all."

Brother Dan Heng: "In essence, it is a manifestation of the Abundance's divine miracle."

Mualani: "A manifestation of the Abundance's divine miracle?"

Mualani: "Meaning, this was bestowed by the Abundance Aeons?"

Xing: "That's right."

Xing: "Try guessing what exactly this Jianmu can do to a person?"

Xiangling: "If it's called a calamity, then it must make people turn bad!"

Navia: "Mm-hmm, I think so too."

Xing: "Haha."

Xing: "But actually, the real effect of this Jianmu is that it can turn a person whose lifespan barely passes a hundred into a long-lived species with an extended lifespan—one that can even live for tens of thousands of years!"

Paimon: "W-what?!"

Paimon: "Then isn't this a divine tree?!"

Hu Tao: "Turn an ordinary person into someone who lives for tens of thousands of years??"

Hu Tao: "My goodness, is this the weight of a divine miracle??"

Brother Dan Heng: "The people of Luofu Xianzhou are long-lived species; the reason their lifespans are so long is because they once received the Abundance's blessing."

Venti: "If it's a blessing, then why is the Abundance's divine miracle now viewed as a calamity?"

Venti: "And these Abundance's Remnants... what's such an explanation?"

Mavuika: "In my view, this so-called longevity must still come with a cost that's hard to ignore, right?"

Zhong Li: "Erosion... or rather... the Mara-Stricken Body mentioned earlier."

Zhong Li: "I suppose this Mara-Stricken Body is one of the costs of longevity after receiving the Abundance's blessing?"

General Jing Yuan: "Indeed!"

General Jing Yuan: "This is indeed one of the costs!"

General Jing Yuan: "The Abundance's power may extend one's lifespan indefinitely, but the void in one's spirit also grows ceaselessly with the passage of time."

General Jing Yuan: "And once a critical point is reached—when the spirit can no longer bear the body—one falls into the Mara-Stricken state and becomes a mindless monster."

Paimon: "Ooh!"

Paimon: "There's actually such a serious hidden danger?!"

Paimon: "No wonder they say the Abundance's miracles are a calamity."

Paimon: "So it turns out even a Aeon's blessing isn't necessarily all good!"

Silver Wolf: "Maybe it's just that most ordinary people can't bear such fortune?"

Silver Wolf: "What good thing comes without a price?"

Silver Wolf: "In my view, people still have to act within their limits."

The video continued.

【Haha... you're really something.】

【Just give us some more reliable advice.】

The Intelligencespawn smiled and said, utterly unconcerned.

【... Wait a moment. This idea might not be a bad one.】

【Fortune favors the bold! Let's go, we're going to climb that tree!】

The Pippyx girl's eyes lit up,

and without a second word, she ran off toward the Jianmu.

【Slow down, wait for me!】

Seeing this, the Intelligencespawn could no longer be bothered talking with Stelle and the other two, and hurried after her.

【Hey! Don't go so fast! Hey... at least if something happens, don't sell us out!】

【Sigh, they won't cause any trouble, right... it's really unsettling.】

Stelle: "???"

Stelle: "Holy crap, a greenhorn?"

Stelle: "I was just joking, did she really go charge in?"

Stelle: "Good lord, want to get into the Shackling Prison?"

March 7th: "Ahem... this counts as solicitation, right?"

March 7th: "If they get in trouble, it won't really drag us in too, right?"

Stelle: "Who solicited?"

Stelle: "I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"

Stelle: "I was just joking!"

Furina: "Such an important place must have someone guarding it, right?"

Furina: "Those two are just ordinary people, they shouldn't be able to get past."

Brother Dan Heng: "Although Jianmu can be clearly seen from outside,"

Brother Dan Heng: "in reality it's separated by layer upon layer of Grotto-Heavens."
