Nolen¡¯s hand holding the eye of life and death was trembling, the three eyes on his head were wide open, and his mouth was wide open.
Although it was not a good thing for Zeng Rong that his trump card was seen by Nolen, Zeng Rong felt secretly happy when he saw Nolen being shocked like this.
"I need to calm down calm down." Nolen took a few deep breaths, then put away his eyes of life and death, looked at Hei Bao and Xiao Hei Bao in the sky who were looking at him like idiots at the same time, and sighed softly. .
"I may be really old, Zeng Rong." Nolen sat down again and waved his hand: "Put these two guys away. Remember, don't show these two guys in front of anyone unless you have to." its true face.¡±
"You have shown disturbing potential and strength. If the true identities of these two guys are known to them again, I am afraid that those few people will try their best to kill you." Nolen paused and said. : "Not just you, but also your family, your friends, anything that has the slightest relationship with you will be completely obliterated by them!"
Looking at Nolen¡¯s serious face, Zeng Rong¡¯s heart skipped a beat. You know, Nolen is the strongest person he has seen since his debut. There is no one who can make him so serious and cautious, Zeng Rong has to pay attention to him.
After taking Hei Bao and Xiao Hei Bao into his body, Nolan smiled and said: "Well, although I don't want to say it, I am almost 100% sure that your future achievements will be above mine."
"you flatter me."
"Excuse me?" Nolen slammed the table: "Haha, you have lived to my age, plus I have five eyes, what else can't you see? By the way, kid, you may have some feelings for me. I understand, but do you know how long it has been since I was born?¡±
Zeng Rong shook his head. When he was serving in the Tianxuan Army, he did not find any information about this.
"Two cosmic eras, 16.18484809 years." Nolen smiled: "Are you surprised?"
Not only was he surprised, Zeng Rong¡¯s brain was short-circuited.
Nearly 16.2 billion years! This number is really amazing!
"As you live a long time, you have experienced a lot of people and things. Three of the top ten kings of the universe were once my students." When Nolan said this, he sighed: "Tianxuan, Qishan, and and Linghua.¡±
Nolen¡¯s words once again stunned Zeng Rong. From what Nolen said before, he had vaguely guessed that Nolen had a deep understanding of the ten kings of the universe, but he never thought that three of the ten kings of the universe were actually his students!
"Haha. Although it is a teacher-student relationship, I am afraid that in the minds of the three of them, I am at the top of the must-kill list." Nolen sighed softly again: "Humans are a strange animal."
"I'll interrupt you, senior." Zeng Rong coughed: "I have a lot of questions about Western medicine, please answer them, you"
"I didn't stop you from asking, just say it."
Zeng Rong thought for a while: "You said you wanted to cooperate with me before. Why?"
Nolen thought for a while and said: "You already know that I have lived from the last cosmic era to the present. And the reason why those years are called the last cosmic era is because unimaginable disasters occurred."
"It was precisely because of that disaster that all life in the universe, including the Ming Dynasty, almost completely disappeared." Nolen paused and said: "There are very few people like me who can survive that disaster. .Now. Apart from the five people who have left, I am afraid that I am the only one left."
It seemed like he remembered something again. Nolen said again: "Because the choices are different, the paths taken are also different, and the destinations we see are even different."
"Those people including me, those who survived, don't know the cause of the disaster at all." Nolen said slowly: "But because of the passage of time, many people have lost the motivation to explore the truth of the disaster. . They began to pursue progress wholeheartedly and pursue their ability to move to a higher realm. So, we parted ways."
"And I am the only one who chooses to continue to pursue the truth."
Zeng Rong remained silent. He looked at Nolen's side face and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"They all got what they wanted in the end, but I have been pursuing the truth that may not exist at all." Nolen smiled self-deprecatingly: "I don't have the opportunities they have, and I don't want to have the same opportunities they have. Opportunities. I think that there is no only way to advance to their level. Therefore, at that time, we were only one step away from their level.I chose to exile myself, destroy myself, be reborn into a new life, and start over. "
Seeing Zeng Rong's expression of surprise and admiration, Nolen smiled: "Don't admire me, doing this is really not a rational behavior. Even for a long time afterwards, I felt that I had done this fairy rule in the first place. It¡¯s really a bit shameful.¡±
"Because I found that after I started over, the rapid improvement that I expected did not exist at all. It was much more difficult than the first time I practiced!" Nolen looked at Zeng Rong's confused expression and said, "You must think this It¡¯s ridiculous, but this is indeed the fact that happened to me. My second spiritual journey was ten times longer than the first time, and this is because I have rich experience that far exceeds that of ordinary people!¡±
When Nolen said this, his eyes became more solemn: "So I began to suspect that it was the universe that was suppressing me!"
"Because, since the moment I chose to pursue the truth about the end of the last universe era, I, who had the highest level and the most outstanding qualifications among the survivors, have not made the slightest progress no matter how hard I work." Nolen tightened his grip. He raised his fist and said, "And those people who chose to pursue strength and the highest realm quickly caught up with me in terms of strength at a speed that was so abnormal that it was almost demonic, and left me behind!"
"Is it because your persistence in the truth has hindered the growth of your strength?" Zeng Rong pondered for a while and asked.
Nolen shook his head: "It's absolutely impossible. I've never been that kind of person. And at that time, if I hadn't practiced hard, my strength would have regressed invisibly and unconsciously!"
"So, the experience of the second life and the strange situation in the later period of the first life made me shift the target of suspicion to the universe we live in!" Nolen said solemnly: "It is the universe! It is afraid that I will pursue the previous one. The truth about the end of the universe era began to suppress me!"
Zeng Rong was completely stunned. If it wasn't Nolen who said this, he would definitely think that the other person was a lunatic with an abnormal mind.
But Nolen is different. As a terrifying existence that has lived for more than 16 billion years, he has no need to deceive Zeng Rong.
"Since you are a candidate for the Human King selected by the universe, it means that you have a certain understanding of the origin of the Human King." Nolen continued: "After the end of the last universe era, I became like those people immediately. After being affirmed by the universe, the human king source appeared in the body."
"However, from the moment I chose to pursue the truth, the human Wang Yuan in me disappeared without knowing it!"
Nolen dropped another bombshell, which completely put Zeng Rong into a daze.
Although Zeng Rong received unimaginable benefits from Ren Wang Yuan, his understanding of Ren Wang Yuan was not very detailed. However, even if he didn't go into details, he knew one of the most basic things.
Since Wang Yuan has been fused, it is absolutely impossible for him to disappear on his own unless he is killed! Even if you want to give up, you can't!
Nolen¡¯s experience is too weird, if it is really what he said. If I choose to cooperate with him, will I also be suppressed by the universe? The source of the King of Humans and the Source of the Beast King slowly disappear, or even a regression in strength?
He is not as carefree as Nolen. He still has relatives, friends, and home that he needs to protect! Losing strength probably means losing everything!
Seeing Zeng Rong's expression change, Nolen smiled and said: "Boy, you don't have to worry about being watched by the universe or something if you are with me. Because for such a long time, the universe has only been watching me. Like Tian Xuan The three of them were not suppressed in any way when they were practicing together with me."
Nolan could choose to cooperate with Zeng Rong and tell him this kind of thing. Naturally, he had a deep understanding of Zeng Rong's character and conduct in advance. He knew that Zeng Rong was the kind of person who would risk his life to protect what was most important to him.
Although he didn¡¯t know whether Zeng Rong would change like the three previous students, Nolen felt that he had chosen the right person this time. Otherwise, Nolen would not have been so fond of Zeng Rong, a guy who was still a young boy in his eyes.
After hearing Nolen¡¯s explanation, Zeng Rong let out a long breath and stretched out his hand to wipe away the fine sweat that had seeped out of his forehead.
"It seems that those people and things are really important to you." Nolen sighed.
Zeng Rong nodded and said with a smile: "I think whether you are an ordinary person or a practitioner, as long as you live, you must have something to protect. That is your root, your home, your reliance, your hope and your motivation."
Nolen savored this sentence carefully for a while and sighed softly.
I still have something to protect?something?
Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly became a little dull, Zeng Rong thought about it carefully and asked: "By the way, senior, you just said that the universe was suppressed because you wanted to pursue the truth about the end of the last universe era. Do you have any evidence?" Is it done?"
"In other words, is there anything that can really prove your suspicion?"
Only then did Nolen come back from his thoughts, with that warm smile on his face again.
"currently there is not."
Seeing that Zeng Rong was in a daze again, Nolen continued: "This is exactly why I came to you to cooperate."
"Are you finally going to tell us what our cooperation will be?"
