Mortality Severing

"You damn bastard!" the old man said as he stood up, "Are you cursing me?!"

"No, don't take it the wrong way, what I meant is, what is the reason for you to live so many lives, you basically lived more than a hundred mortal lifetimes, do you have any reason to live so long if you don't wish to obtain at least the seat of one of the kings?" I asked.

"No. I lived this long seeking the truths of the heavens!" the old man said.

Eliciting a few nods from the people around him.

"Then I'll say the same thing I said to that scholar. Why haven't you fallen yet?" I asked.

My question seemed to be ambiguous but if they thought about it for a moment they'll figure it out.

Suddenly someone muttered.

"My god…"

"What in the…"

And more seemed to be coming to the same realization.

Just to make everything clear again, I spoke the same words I told Zhang Tian that day.
