After becoming a Devouring Beast, Luo Feng’s power surged rapidly. However, once his soul and body achieved perfect synchronization, his soul inevitably came under the influence of the Beast’s bloodline—an inheritance of cruelty, savagery, and coldness passed down through countless generations. The long, lonely months of solitude allowed these violent traits to seep deeply into Luo Feng’s being.
He had become colder, more savage than ever before.
Yet upon first hearing the news, Luo Feng felt his blood surge from head to toe: “I have a child! I have a child!” A wave of exhilaration flooded his soul.
“Almost there, almost there. Just eight more months, and my body will be fully formed. Then I can return to see them.”
…
While Luo Feng, transformed into the golden-horned Devouring Beast deep beneath the Pacific Ocean, was overwhelmed with joy, news outlets across Earth were reporting on the birth of the two newborns.
First, the Luo family possessed Luo Feng’s vast inheritance, making them as wealthy as a nation.
Second, the infants’ genetic potential was extraordinary, promising boundless future.
Third, with the sacrifice of the Eight Heroes and the birth of these two children, the timing carried profound symbolic meaning.
…
November 22, 2060, morning.
“Be good, Pingping and Xiao Hai,” Xu Xin, wearing a white sweater, lovingly kissed the two infants in her arms. The babies stared up at their mother with their bright little eyes, giggling and waving their tiny hands.
Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan took the babies with smiling faces.
“Xu Xin, we’ll take Pingping and Xiao Hai for a walk around the neighborhood,” Gong Xinlan said.
“All right, Mom,” Xu Xin nodded gently.
As she watched her in-laws carry the babies away, Xu Xin softly closed the door and walked to the balcony of the bedroom. Beside the balcony was a desk, and on it lay a laptop. She sat down on the chair, basking in the warm winter sunlight, feeling comforted. With a smile on her face, she pulled the chair up to the desk.
She took out paper and pen from the drawer.
“Ever since I was young, raised in a family that emphasized excellence, I always pushed myself to the highest standards. And eventually, I grew to love the feeling of leading a team, building a career, and carving out a world of my own.”
“But striving for success in business is exhausting.”
“Thankfully, I had Luo Feng.”
“With him by my side, I felt no pressure. He sheltered me from the storms, allowing me to focus on building my career. I truly cherished those days and wished they could last forever… but I never expected… I don’t blame anyone. But now, in this world, I feel there’s no meaning left in living.”
“What is the purpose of life?”
“Love? Family? Career?”
“I don’t know!”
“With Luo Feng gone, my love has vanished. The hardships of my career have no one to share them with, and even my successes bring no joy without him by my side. Even if I succeed, it feels hollow, devoid of applause.”
“Every night, in my dreams, I often wake up in tears.”
“Finally, I made my decision.”
“I feel lighter than ever, as if my soul has become clearer than before.”
“Mom, Dad, Brother, in-laws—please don’t grieve. Because now, I am truly at peace.”
After finishing the letter, Xu Xin set down the pen and looked out the window. She saw Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan holding the babies in the courtyard, the infants laughing joyfully.
“Xiao Hai, Pingping,” she whispered, “you’re only two months old and don’t understand anything yet. I hope you won’t remember this time when you grow up.”
She opened the laptop beside her and played a song.
It was an old tune from before the Great Nirvana Era.
“The ticking of the clock echoes in my heart
My gaze flickers, hollow and empty
My heartbeat pounds with a trembling rhythm
I ask myself how deeply I love you…”
The soft, ethereal voice, tinged with shyness, filled the entire room. It was an old song from before the Great Nirvana Era—Faye Wong’s “Tomorrow I’ll Marry You.”
“Tomorrow I’ll marry you…”
“Tomorrow I’ll finally marry you…”
The music echoed in the room as Xu Xin softly hummed, walking to the wardrobe and pulling out a wedding dress…
Dressing herself.
Putting on the wedding gown.
Xu Xin hummed sweetly, smiling.
She had grown up in a competitive family environment until she met Luo Feng, who freed her from all that pressure. He had been like a mountain, like a tree, sheltering her from the storms. Xu Xin disliked her past family, filled with worldly concerns, greed for power, money, and competition.
She loved her life with Luo Feng—pursuing the career she loved and sharing it with the one she loved.
Sharing sorrows with her beloved.
Sharing joy with her beloved.
What a happy life it had been… but now, with Luo Feng gone, the world felt colorless and dull. What was the point of striving anymore? What was the meaning of effort? Victory brought no applause, and pain had no one to confide in.
…
Dressed like a bride in her wedding gown, Xu Xin smiled gently as she lay quietly on the bed.
“…”
“It haunts all my dreams.”
“Tomorrow I’ll marry you.”
“Tomorrow I’ll finally marry you.”
…
The sweet melody flowed gently into her soul. Xu Xin reached for a small porcelain bottle beside her, poured out two pills, and swallowed them with a smile, washing them down with water.
She closed her eyes.
Lying peacefully on the bed in her wedding gown, her fingers gently caressed the steel ring on her finger.
“Tomorrow I’ll marry you.”
“Tomorrow I’ll finally marry you.”
…
The music still echoed in the room.
Xu Xin wore the pendant Luo Feng had given her—a charm of peace. On the silver plate’s surface, hidden runes began to glow faintly, gradually intensifying. The silver charm slowly floated upward, casting a soft, white glow that enveloped Xu Xin’s body.
Xu Xin, dressed in white, lay bathed in the white light like an angel.
Suddenly—
The silver charm began to crack, and the white light grew even brighter. Without a sound, the charm disintegrated into nothingness, and the brilliant white light flowed into Xu Xin’s body below. Her skin became translucent and radiant, more lustrous than before, breathtakingly beautiful.
Magnificently stunning.
All the white light settled into her body, and everything returned to calm.
The entire room—
Utterly silent. Xu Xin still lay peacefully in bed, as if nothing had happened.
Suddenly…
Her eyelashes fluttered, and her eyes slowly opened.
…
Deep beneath the Pacific Ocean.
A pile of metal wreckage lay on the seabed beside a golden-horned Devouring Beast, over 280 meters in length. Its enormous golden eyes gleamed with coldness and savagery. It extended a hoof, and an invisible ripple of spatial energy enveloped the area. Instantly, the pile of metal scraps vanished.
“Luofeng, Luofeng!” Babama’s crisp voice rang out, filled with anxiety.
“What is it?” Luo Feng asked.
“It’s Xu Xin—she’s committed suicide!” Babama cried urgently.
“What!”
Luo Feng’s mind went blank, his blood rushing to his head.
The golden eyes of the Devouring Beast beneath the ocean blazed brilliantly, filled with fury and anxiety. “This isn’t something to joke about!”
“I’m not joking—it’s true,” Babama quickly replied.
“You bastard! You told me Xu Xin would be safe! When I wanted to contact her through the network and have you mimic my voice to comfort her, you said she wouldn’t believe it. You said she’d think it was just an AI left behind before my death, and she wouldn’t believe unless she saw me in person. Fine, I admit you had a point!”
“But you promised me she would be safe. And now…” Luo Feng’s mind felt like it was about to explode.
“Calm down,” Babama, seeing Luo Feng’s fury, realized he had gone too far. “I haven’t finished yet. She didn’t die—she’s alive.”
Luo Feng froze.
“What do you mean?” His voice carried a hint of anger.
“It’s like this—Xu Xin did indeed take her own life. Her bodily functions were completely destroyed, and her soul was about to dissipate. However, the ‘Lovers’ Charm’ I gave you saved her. Whether she was unlucky or lucky, I can’t say. The real name of that charm is ‘Eternal Love.'”
“Eternal Love?” Luo Feng, despite his inherited memories, had never heard of it.
“You don’t know Eternal Love, but you know Eternal Body, right?” Babama continued.
“I see,” Luo Feng replied.
Human lifespan—Star-level beings live slightly over a thousand years, Stellar-level beings live for one cosmic era, Cosmic-level beings live for ten eras, Domain Lords for a hundred eras, and World Lords for a thousand eras. Only by becoming an immortal can one live forever.
Each leap—from Novice 9th Stage to Star-level, and from Star-level 9th Stage to Stellar-level—represents a fundamental transformation of life.
Each threshold marks a leap in the essence of life.
Within the same tier, for example, from Star-level 1st Stage to Star-level 9th Stage, power may differ hundreds of times, but the life level and lifespan remain the same.
When a life form undergoes a transformation in essence, its genetic structure changes dramatically.
This is a physical evolution!
A soul can live for a long time, usually up to a thousand cosmic eras. However, the physical body has inherent limits. Even with the best medical care, it eventually withers and dies.
A Star-level body can last slightly over a thousand years, a Stellar-level body for one era… until the World Lord stage, where the body contains an inner world that continuously absorbs external energy to sustain the physical form. At that point, the body no longer ages, and lifespan depends on the soul.
The soul’s limit is one thousand cosmic eras.
Therefore—
A World Lord’s lifespan is one thousand cosmic eras.
Only by transcending the World Lord stage and achieving a fundamental transformation of the soul can one achieve eternity!
For Star-level, Stellar-level, Cosmic-level, Domain Lords, and World Lords, the key is the transformation of life essence.
But for World Lords, the key is the transformation of the soul!
…
Across the vast cosmos, there exist rare races born with the “Eternal Body”—their physical forms never age, and they only die when their souls completely wither. Their bodies are known as “Eternal Bodies.”
