Chapter 118: Both Are Paths of Demigods

Longevity is what men pursue the most, while not aging is the greatest pursuit of girls.

"Any kind of power, after developing to the extreme, will lean toward the direction of longevity."

Ren Amamiya paused here, then looked at the girls present somewhat strangely.

"Did I not say it?"

"..."

Kaguya Sigong was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"You did say similar words."

"At the first club gathering, Ren Amamiya, you did talk about the topic of longevity."

"You also said that the club would develop in the direction of longevity in the future."

Ren Amamiya remembered saying similar words.

"It's just that we didn't seem to put this and not aging together at that time."

As everyone knows, longevity and not aging are completely different concepts.

Kaguya Sigong didn't think of longevity as something immediate to think about; after all, some things were indeed too far away from her.

"Then, now you can start working toward that direction."

"Any kind of power, after reaching a certain degree, will begin to change oneself."

"The increase in lifespan will also, as one masters more powerful power, make the time of one's own decline become very slow, thereby reaching the point of not aging bit by bit."

"As for the person most likely to reach that level of agelessness, I think it should be Ran."

Mao Li Lan was startled when her name was called.

"Me?"

She pointed at herself in disbelief.

"Yes."

Ren Amamiya nodded slightly.

"Aging is a very natural decay of the body, and this decay lies within the body itself."

"And the power Ran obtained is one that primarily transforms the body."

"Therefore, the moment your body was transformed, the aging process already began to slow down."

"Although it will still take a long time to reach true agelessness, it should be much faster than for Nagi and Miss Sigong."

Mao Li Lan’s title, Fang of the Imperial Cherry, allows her to channel the energy from what she consumes into physical growth; the increases in strength, reflexes, explosive power, and endurance all grow in tandem with the slowing of her body's decay.

"What Nagi obtained is a Vision."

"That Vision is an external magical organ, a converter that can absorb power from the outside world and transform it into elemental energy."

"But at the end of the day, that is not a part of Nagi's own power."

"The Vision will certainly have room to grow in the future, though we may need to check the diary to see the direction of that growth."

"But before that, active training and learning to control elemental energy with greater precision is definitely a good thing."

"The God of Wind also started from a single wisp of the thousand winds."

There is also quite a bit of room for elemental energy to grow.

If she can overcome the weakness of the Vision, then the end of this path will likely be at least that of a demigod.

"And the same goes for Maria."

"The true form of the God of Rock is a thousand-meter-long rock dragon, and it was once hailed as the God of War."

"Maria, you should work hard in the future."

"The heaviness of rock can deal heavy damage to enemies, and it can also be used for protection."

"Heavy rock always makes people feel at ease."

The heaviness of rock is truly perfect as a power exclusive to a maid.

At least in Ren Amamiya's view, Maria is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate for the Rock Vision.

"Suddenly becoming the God of Wind..."

Nagi Sanzenin could still feel that the power she had obtained could take her very far.

This was a very good start.

Wanting to see her mother again—this was the necessary condition.

Of course, her greatest reliance for achieving her goal was indeed the diary.

"But Maria and the God of War do match quite well."

Upon hearing this, Maria didn't know what to say.

"Please don't put an ordinary girl like me together with the God of War."

"If you're talking about the God of War, isn't Miss Katsura more suitable?"

Nagi Sanzenin agreed with this three thousand percent.

Katsura Hinagiku—that woman is absolutely a God of War-like existence.

Given that woman's combat power, it feels on par with those famous butlers at Bai Huang, and in some areas, she even far surpasses them.

"Who told Hinagiku to still be at Bai Huang."

Nagi Sanzenin spoke with great reason, even saying it with her head held high and chest puffed out.

Katsura Hinagiku is very impressive, but right now, she is still staying inside Bai Huang.

"And then there is Miss Sigong."

Ren Amamiya did not continue speaking.

Kaguya Sigong also nodded in realization.

"The ultimate form of the Chilly-Chilly Fruit, I know."

The Chilly-Chilly Fruit gave her sufficiently powerful strength.

This powerful strength also meant she almost didn't need to feel lost about her path forward, but wanting to push this power to its limit indeed requires a lot of effort and accumulation.

"Miss Sigong, the two weaknesses of the fruit I mentioned before are not false, but they are likely elements that only exist in a certain story."

"I am not sure if the oceans of the normal world possess such elements."

"Perhaps you can go and test it when the time comes."

"Mm."

Kaguya Sigong nodded slightly; this was something she indeed needed to test.

The conversation reached this point, and the girls' complexions were no longer as terrible as they had been just moments ago.

Ren Amamiya looked at the time on the wall clock.

Before he knew it, it was already 7:23 PM.

To be honest, it was already past dinner time.

"Are you all still hungry?"

"Hungry..."

The girls looked at each other; everyone's stomach was actually already hungry.

Especially after the vomiting earlier, the hunger was even more pronounced.

"To be honest, I've been hungry for a while."

"But in this situation, I really can't eat anything..."

Even Mao Li Lan felt that she couldn't eat a thing.

It wasn't that she wasn't hungry, but that the feeling of nausea was still protesting.

She rubbed her stomach.

"If I eat now, I will definitely throw it up."

Mao Li Lan stated her condition very firmly.

The other girls looked at each other and nodded helplessly.

Everyone was in a similar situation.

"Mr. Amamiya, actually, dinner has already been prepared."

"No meat was prepared; it's all vegetarian dishes."

Maria spoke up to remind him.

She understood perfectly well why there was no meat; having seen those scenes, it was indeed impossible to look at meat for a short time.

Ren Amamiya glanced at the girls present and slowly stood up.

"Then I'll go eat first."

"You all... try to eat a little, otherwise the night will be very hard to endure."
