The Eternal Debauchery's

"How much do you know about this level of world power?" I asked Alice.

Alice remained silent. He thought for a moment before giving me an answer.

“This level of world power is divided into several layers. Most people only know about the first twelve layers, the human layer. For commoners, the seventh or eighth-tier fighter was already a powerhouse. The twelfth tier practitioner was almost a legend.

“But in fact, the twelfth layer is not the limit. After the twelfth layer is the thirteenth layer, also known as the Transcendent. The name came about due to the fact that they transcended the borders of humanity. The lifespan of a twelfth-tier practitioner was almost the same as that of a normal person, with the only difference being that they maintained their youth longer and rarely fell ill.

“But it is said that a Transcendent can live to the age of 110 years easily. A practitioner of the fourteenth layer, also known as a Saint/Saint, can easily reach 130 years old, and if you manage to break through to the fifteenth layer, become a demigod, become a half-god, life 150 years is not difficult.”

After Alice reached this point, she paused for a moment and looked at me. “Of course, being a Demigod is very difficult. I don't know the exact number of demigods around the world, but it must be around ten.”

I nodded, expressed my agreement and urged Alice to continue.

“After that, you can become a god and live eternally, but I don't know much about it. I heard that there are stronger and weaker gods, and their strength has to do with the faith they have received." Alice ended with a shrug. He then looked at me with shining eyes. “If I'm not mistaken, you must be a Saint or a Demigod, right?”

I smiled and did not answer. At that moment, a waiter served me a cup of tea. I took a quiet sip and enjoyed the sweet taste in my mouth.

As Alice grew impatient, I chuckled and put up an isolation barrier around us to keep this conversation from being overheard by others.

Alice was surprised, but she didn't stop me. He knew right away that my next words were more serious than he thought.

“Your explanation is very like a textbook. That's not wrong, but it's not entirely true.”

“Mm?” Alice curious.

“You were right up to the fifteenth layer. After that, things get a little more complicated.You know, to become a god you must be recognized by the laws of the world, fused with the legal aspects, and be able to use that power as if it were yours."

“But there is a weakness with that method. First, if you are recognized by an aspect, such as fire, you must discard all other aspects that you have learned throughout your life, such as Sword, ice, lightning, etc. Of course, some geniuses could gain recognition for two or more aspects at the same time, but they were extremely rare."

“However, it wasn't the biggest mistake. The biggest weakness is that the laws of the world are too strong. Once you become a god, the law begins to assimilate you, until you become nothing more than a manifestation of the law, losing your sense of self. There are various ways to avoid it, but the most widely used is faith. By using people's beliefs as anchors, you can maintain your sense of self and use a force stronger than the laws of the world, unfortunately, that method is not perfect either. Over time, the sense of the god's self will eventually fade.

“In addition, gods are not truly immortal. More precisely, they could live as long as the world itself existed. But once the age of the world is over or destroyed, the gods will die as well.

“Because of that, the gods are known by another name, false immortality.” I took another sip of tea while I waited for Alice to digest the information I had just told her.

Alice was silent for a moment. He put on a pondering expression and looked down.

“... But, if there is a false eternity, there must be a true eternity, right?” alice.

I laugh. “It is easier to talk to smart people.You are right, if there is false immortality, there is true immortality. ”

I paused for a moment and narrowed my eyes.

“... Such people are strong enough to destroy the whole world in seconds.”

Alice opened her eyes wide.

Even Hannah and Aaron, who were sitting behind Alice could not help their shocked expressions.

"(Eternity)." I chuckled with a self-deprecating smile.

“This is a little different than you think. Eternity has nothing to do with strength or age, you just need to understand the way to immortality, find a method to use the laws of the universe to make yourself live forever. So, technically, an immortal being can be as strong as an ordinary person and as young as a baby. Of course, after you live for a period of time, you stop growing old, and your strength grows naturally."

“There are many ways to eternity, and to my knowledge, each way is unique. They cannot be taken down, and cannot be shared. If you want to be immortal, you have to open your own path. Moreover, finding a way to immortality was extremely difficult. If a world produced an immortal in ten thousand years, it was already great.but alas, the world did not produce one even after millions of years.

Alice's eyes twitched. This information was greater than anything he had ever heard.

It took him nearly ten minutes to suppress his surprised expression.

Finally, Alice looked at me and asked something in a trembling voice.

"… Pa-Prince Claus, how do you know so much …"

I looked at Alice with an amused smile.

“Didn't you get the answer?”

Alice swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"La-Then, you .." said alice surprised.

"That's right, I'm an immortal."
