Invincible! This person has lived for a billion years

Chapter 797 A peaceful life isn't so bad

Seraphina led a grand procession back to the Arcane Village base with the group in tow.

In the past, Andreas and his companions would have descended upon the Arcane Village base like gods from the heavens.

But now, they wouldn't dare.

No matter what Seraphina said, they insisted on carrying the books through the city gates, claiming that doing so was a sign of respect for the place.

"Suit yourselves!" Seraphina couldn't be bothered with them anymore and headed back to the school.

William was in his office working on the second volume when Seraphina returned. "Did you get the books?" he asked.

Seraphina grimaced, "I had Andreas and his team bring them over. They're at the base now."

William looked up at Seraphina, smiled briefly, and didn't say much else.

These were trivial matters to him.

"Mr. Johnson, they really went all out, copying fifty thousand books," Seraphina said enthusiastically.

That's just how women are,even though she told herself there was no hope and she could give up, she always found something to say in front of William.

"Let them keep twenty thousand copies, and distribute the rest around the world."

The population of the Arcane Village base was just over sixty thousand, and not everyone would read the book—fifty thousand copies were indeed too many.

Seraphina laughed, "I think they just wanted an excuse to come over and curry favor with you."

"What's there to curry favor with me?" William said indifferently. "Tell them not to come looking for me. I don't want to see them."

Despite some connections between the Pantheon Guild and deities like Poseidon and Zeus, William didn't know Andreas and the others well, so naturally, there was no need to meet.

Mainly, William wasn't interested in the people from the Pantheon Guild.

"Understood." Seraphina sensed that William was in a good mood, so she leaned in and asked, "Mr. Johnson, are you planning to help humanity eradicate those Mutated creatures?"

Seraphina had wanted to ask this question for a long time.

She wasn't human herself and naturally didn't care about human affairs, so over the years, she had mostly been an observer.

But if Mr. Johnson wanted to help humanity, she was certainly willing to contribute.

While William and Seraphina conversed, the other teachers in the office couldn't hear a thing. From their perspective, it just looked like Seraphina came over to find William, and then the two didn't speak at all—William was busy with his work, and Seraphina just stood by his side.

It was a scene that should have seemed odd, yet it appeared perfectly normal to them.

Of course, the teachers couldn't hear the conversation between William and Seraphina either.

"Why would I want to eradicate them?" William chuckled. "It's survival of the fittest, let everyone fend for themselves."

"But Mr. Johnson, you still side with humanity," Seraphina teased. "You are somewhat biased."

From William's actions, it was clear he was aiding humanity.

William nodded, "You're not wrong there, especially since human civilization is much more interesting than those beasts that are always fighting and killing. I've lived in the human world for the last few millennia, so I do have some affection for it."

Seraphina looked puzzled and asked, "At your level of power, shouldn't you be indifferent to everything?"

William understood what she meant,Seraphina was implying that he shouldn't have emotions.

"A lot of things are indeed indifferent to me," William said calmly. "But if I were indifferent to everything, wouldn't life be even more boring? Living requires finding things to do, just like some people continuously improve their strength and experience the thrill of leveling up."

"Don't you enhance your power?" Seraphina frowned, William's point was valid. The deities in the Divine Realm continuously increased their power, not just for survival, but also to experience the thrill of each breakthrough.

Becoming stronger, making those who once looked down on them look up to them.

Or to avenge deep-seated grudges.

Or to pursue a longer lifespan, even immortality.

Or to become a dominant ruler, finding a sense of superiority by enslaving others.

...

There were many reasons and strong motivations,if one couldn't become stronger, they would just end up being enslaved and exploited.

William shook his head, "I haven't sought to increase my power in many years. There was a time when I found life meaningless, even wished for death, but couldn't achieve it, so I just kept myself busy. A peaceful life isn't so bad."

Seraphina found it hard to understand William's state of mind. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "So, Mr. Johnson, don't you want to become more powerful and explore worlds beyond Earth? I've heard that besides the Divine Realm, there are several parallel dimensions with many powerful beings."

William just smiled and didn't respond.

Powerful?

How powerful?

"Have you already been there?" Seraphina thought about Amy's two masters who were high-ranking god-kings in terms of power. That meant William must at least be at the level of high-ranking god-kings too.

As for other parallel dimensions, William must have already visited them.

With the power of high-ranking god-kings, descending into other parallel dimensions, wouldn't that just mean wreaking havoc at will?

William didn't answer her.

Seraphina chuckled, "It really is lonely at the top, isn't it?"

"A bit!" William admitted, not having much left to pursue. He used to think about reviving Artemis or exploring beyond the universe, but now, he could easily toy with Cosmic Entities and revive Artemis at will, slaughtering powerful beings from beyond the universe without a second thought.

Becoming stronger?

Wouldn't that just make things even more boring?

Not to mention the pursuit of immortality.

Better to just be an old man teaching at a school, which was quite nice.

"Then have you found the ultimate cosmic truth?" Seraphina remembered that the deities in the Divine Realm were all in search of this ultimate cosmic truth.

William coughed lightly and said, "I don't chase after those elusive things."

The so-called ultimate cosmic truth and the power of cosmic laws were just a matter of thought.

Besides, Dolly, the Cosmic Entity of the thirteenth universe, had exiled herself.

"But... your words give me some ideas." William was indeed quite bored. Chasing after the ultimate cosmic truth was certainly off the table, but now that the thirteenth universe was without a Cosmic Entity to govern it, many places had become even more chaotic.

With nothing better to do, taking Dolly's place and setting some rules might actually be quite interesting.

Being a teacher by day and setting some rules by night wouldn't be so boring after all.

Take it slow!

It definitely needs to be taken slowly,this way, setting some rules for the thirteenth universe could keep him busy for a long time.

William fell into silence, deciding to start from Earth.

Between humans and mutated creatures, he could design a way for them to understand each other's languages. This way, perhaps they could negotiate in future encounters.

Yes, that's the decision!

With a mere thought from William, all the mutated creatures around the world could now understand and speak the local human languages, even the dialects.

This way, communication would be barrier-free,at least if they couldn't win a fight, they could still throw some fierce words, right?

Suddenly, humans all over the world were baffled.

In a corner of the world, humans were fighting.

"That two-headed Netherwolf just called you an idiot."

"I heard it! No need to repeat!"

"I was just worried you didn't hear clearly!"

"..."

"Damn it, dare to call me an idiot! Watch me beat the crap out of you today, unless you've cleaned up your act!"
