Why can't humans do it too?

"Why admit to something that never happened?" Su Er said, rolling his dead fish eyes. "The difference is so huge, I don't know how you came up with those things."

"Leaving aside the physical differences, just the lifespan alone makes it impossible for the kind of thing you described to happen. Not to mention the differences in thinking, we're even different species, right? I feel like you're looking at me like I'm looking at my pet cat, so please stop bringing up that kind of thing all the time, it's kind of embarrassing..." Suer simply sat down on the ground to rest while counting on her fingers and muttering to herself.

He recalled those awkward moments when he and the others were still in the settlement, moments so embarrassing that he wished he could just dig a hole and disappear so no one could see him.

Jibril was looking behind Sull.

Chapter 178 Su Er's Quick Idea

"Hmm~ Hmm~~~", Jibril spun rapidly in the air with a thoughtful expression. "But it's not really a problem, is it? Haven't you ever thought about it at all? Extending your lifespan through magic or something?"

"Although I'm reluctant to admit it, the way that weed writes its magic formula is indeed hard to find among the Skywing species. Didn't you ever think of asking her to extend your lifespan? Or... do you not trust her abilities?!"

“…Speak up, don’t get so close!” Jibril seemed to get more and more excited as she spoke, almost as if she had been injected with chicken blood. By the end, she was almost touching Suer’s face. Suer could only push her away expressionlessly, pressing his hand against the young girl’s face.

"Magic can't extend lifespan, right? Otherwise, wouldn't the Forest Elves be a near-immortal race like the Skywings?"

There was nothing shameful about it. Suer had indeed thought about extending his lifespan, especially after learning that his lifespan was being shortened. He had paid more attention to this matter and learned a lot about it.

There is no such thing as reincarnation in this world. After all living beings die, their souls return to the Elf Corridor, where they decompose into the most basic elves. Theoretically, it is possible for two people to exist whose souls are composed of completely identical elves, but even so, they are indeed two completely different people.

Except for a few races whose fates are predetermined at birth or by the gods who created them, all other life forms have an upper limit to their lifespan. The spirits that constitute their souls gradually weaken and dissipate, which is a form of aging.

If it were merely a matter of physical youth, then achieving immortality would be far too easy, posing no challenge whatsoever to races like elves who can manipulate the impossible.

“So any magic that involves lifespan will inevitably touch the soul, and my soul…” At this point, Suer chuckled self-deprecatingly, “Even Okan, a god-like being, dares not touch my soul too much, so why should Xinke take the risk?”

It cannot be denied that this unique ability did help him survive in this world, but apart from that, even though it sounds very impressive, it is actually quite useless.

"So the most fundamental reason is still the worry that the weed might be in danger?" Sitting cross-legged in mid-air, Jibril nodded with an "I understand, I understand" look.

Suer suddenly realized that something was wrong.

The pink-haired Skywing was behaving erratically, both in her words and actions. Normally, she shouldn't be thinking like this at this moment, so…

Suddenly sprang to his feet and turned around to see Xin Ke standing behind him. Although the distance seemed far, he was very familiar with the physical functions of these non-human races and knew very well that their conversation had been overheard.

"Oh, you're here. Didn't you find anything unusual over there?" Suer asked casually, while turning to glare fiercely at Jibril.

That bastard, all he thinks about is having fun.

Completely unfazed by Sue's (self-righteous) murderous gaze, Jibril laughed even more heartily.

"I didn't find anything," Xin Ke shook her head slightly and walked over with light steps, then asked curiously, "What? Are you talking about something interesting?"

"Oh, I was talking about you—"

"What exactly is the secret that Okan was talking about?!" He raised his voice to drown out Jibril's words. To prevent this fearless pink-headed man from saying anything he shouldn't, Suer reached out and grabbed the small wing that was fluttering in front of him.

They pulled and tugged at it right there!

"Ugh~!!!" Jibril suddenly turned around and made a mysterious sound. The next second, alarm bells rang in Suer's mind. Before he could react, a force pushed him away.

Bang! ! !

It's Xin Ke!

However, it didn't mean to harm him; rather, it saved Suer's life.

"Hey!! You'll kill someone! Be careful!!" Looking at the thin, long gash behind him, Suer felt a cold sweat break out on his back.

Just now, Jibril reflexively gathered her spirits and hurled them at him. If Xinke hadn't pushed him, he probably would have been blown to the head.

Why do these Skywings have such a lack of sense of proportion when they joke around?

People will die!

"Do you know, Suer?" The pink-haired winged girl's face was still flushed with an eerie red, and every word she spoke had a gritted teeth tone.

"Ah, ah... know, know what?" To be honest, he felt a strange sense of pressure. Various guesses flashed through Suer's mind, and then, based on Jibril's current behavior, he guessed a very likely situation.

"The elven circuits within the Skywing species are mainly concentrated in the area of ​​these wings. Do you know what that means?"

"..."

Suer was no longer able to speak.

"This means that the area is extremely sensitive to any harm done here... If it happens again, I'll kill you."

"Yes, I understand."

Without hesitation, Suer nodded in assurance, enduring Jibril's fierce gaze and Xinke's piercing stare.

To be honest, Xin Ke's expression as she stroked her chin and stared intently at Jibril's little wings was a bit scary.

"So, is it possible that Okan was actually referring to us searching for the gods of the sea-dwelling species?" Trying to steer the atmosphere back on track, Suer continued to explore his thoughts.

"impossible!"

"That idiot could never do that!"

It was met with two resounding denials without hesitation.

"..."

It seems that everyone has a deep prejudice against the marine species. Sul knows that this race is regarded as a synonym for stupidity by other races, and now that their main god has become like that.

I have to say I really want to see just how bizarre it must be for such a consensus to be reached among all races...

Suer's curiosity was suddenly piqued. Since they were already on this seemingly endless sea, and had come this far, then—

"Could you catch a marine species to take a look?" Suddenly raising his head and gesturing to the two great ladies, Suer chuckled twice, "I've been hearing you call me an idiot so much, so I'm a little curious about what it looks like."

"Oh right! Marine species mainly live in the sea, right? They should know a lot about the strange things in this sea. Is what we're doing a righteous intelligence gathering?"

Suer had a sudden inspiration.

Chapter 179 Super Marine Species Have Been Deployed... (Referring to Intelligence)

It has to be said that after the Forest Elves and Skywings joined forces, Suer became much bolder. At least in the past, he would never have imagined that he would say such a thing.

They even caught a marine species to take a look...

Why don't you go to heaven?

“…Indeed, the marine species might be a breakthrough point, but…” Xin Ke suddenly sighed deeply, “It’s uncertain whether those idiots even know what the secret means…”

In fact, as soon as the search process hit a dead end, Xin Ke had considered whether to bring over a marine creature to ask, but every time she did, a question would involuntarily pop into her mind—could that kind of idiot really understand what I was saying?

For this reason, Xin Ke had never been motivated to bring over an idiot to ask, until Su Er brought it up again.

"Let's catch one first," Jibril thought, finding the idea increasingly appealing. A bloodthirsty expression appeared on her face, but it didn't linger on the young girl's face for long. "I didn't expect you to be so bold, Sur, actually thinking of catching a sea creature to play with. Keep it up!"

It was a bit cramped and a bit damp.

"Pfft! What do you mean 'just kidding'? I never said that! Hey!"

Suer's hasty rebuttal had no effect whatsoever. Jibril didn't even listen and immediately took to the air. Without hesitation, her pink-haired winged hair, floating in mid-air, moved without wind, its shimmering colors constantly drawing patterns.

The tremors, far beyond the range of human hearing, were not an earthquake on the island they were currently standing on, but rather the entire space was shaking. Stones and white sand defied gravity and flew about, even the light was distorted, continuously distorted, and gathered in the little girl's raised hand.

He subconsciously glanced down at his wrist, where the green gem had turned bright red. But that was all he could see as a human. Even with the equipment adjusted by Xin Ke as a countermeasure, the familiar oppressive feeling from the elves returned to him once again.

But Xin Ke could see even more. She could see all the elves around her gathering infinitely, as if they were about to be completely drained, constantly condensing and coalescing in Jibril's hands, finally giving birth to a light that even Su Er could witness.

"Hey!!! Jibril!" Sue was completely panicked. He really hadn't expected his suggestion to cause such a commotion—catch one! Catch! You fangirl, do you even know what catching one means?!

You'd better tie one up secretly, understand?! Even a dog could spot you doing that!

"Stop it!" Suer cried out in an emergency.

It's useless.

"This is... Sky Strike..."

Compared to Suer, Xin Ke was much calmer. She simply stared with a complicated expression at the condensed and gathered elf in Jibril's hand. The vortex-like pillar of light was gradually taking shape, and even the halo above the Skywing's head turned into a ball of light due to the rapid rotation.

"Huh?!" Surprised, Suer turned around and looked at Xinke, only then realizing that this reckless Skywing had suddenly pulled off another big stunt.

'Is this the magic that makes holes everywhere on the continent?' Suer raised his hand to shield his eyes from the bright light. This was the first time he had ever seen such extraordinary magic up close.

It had no fixed shape and was constantly changing; it was neither a gun nor a sword. In the next moment, Jibril grasped the ball of light and threw it forcefully into the distance.

It was like a shooting star; there's no need to use the word "like" to describe it.

The oil-black sea was directly split apart, or rather, the seawater there was directly vaporized and disappeared. Even the seawater didn't have time to react, and a huge cylindrical cavity remained there.

Even though he was almost out of Sul's sight, he could still be sure of the spectacular damage, since he could see the huge hole even from such a distance.

“Ji—” Su’er’s question was cut short as soon as it began. The reason was that the Skywing creature that had been floating in front of him and Xinke had vanished without a trace. Fortunately, this confusion did not last long. Almost the instant that Su’er’s doubts arose, Jibril reappeared here.

Along with her reappearance came a...mermaid that suddenly appeared from the sky?

"Awooo waoh wawa waru woo woo pfft!!!"

"...What is this saying?" Sur asked, staring at the mermaid who was thrashing about on the ground. The range of activity of marine species meant that humans had never had the opportunity to interact with them in the past, which is why it was one of the few languages ​​that Riku and he did not know.

Fortunately, it didn't matter that he couldn't understand, he still had Xin Ke to help him.

The forest elf with long, pale golden hair simply reached out and touched the collar of his collar a few times, and Suer suddenly realized that he could understand what this sea creature was saying.

"Waaaaah, pukakakaka, waaaaah!!!"

Well, actually, I didn't say anything.
