90,000 Years of Longevity

Chapter 152: Mortal

After watching Ye Bei enter as all the black gas dispersed, Khufu could not help but think of a certain memory.

Five thousand years ago.

Above the desert, a boy and a young man were walking against the wind and sand.

"Sir, are you from the East?"

The boy covered the sand with his hands, and with his bare feet, he stepped on the endless sand. The entire soles of his feet were plunged into the yellow sand. When speaking, his voice was full of curiosity, and his eyes had pureness. 

The young man walked slowly, and said softly, "I'm still looking for the answer as well."

"Sir, what you said is too vague! I know where I came from... but how could you not know?" The boy looked puzzled and expressed his disbelief.

Ye Bei did not answer.

Ten years later...

The boy was still a boy.

However, the boy became a young man, who was bigger than Ye Bei from the outside.

"Sir, you said before that you lived in seclusion here for a while, but I don't know one thing." The young man was still standing in the yellow sand. The difference was that he stood with countless guards holding weapons hundreds of meters behind him.

The guards had a grim complexion, and their expressions were even sharper.

"What is it?" Ye Bei still wore a white dress, no matter what the years passed, there was still no change.

The young man's eyes were burning, "Sir, ten years have passed, and you are still so young. This is against the law of human development. I want to ask; do you know the law of longevity?" The pureness in eyes had already disappeared, it was replaced with desire instead.

"I don't know." Ye Bei answered truthfully.

Another ten years had passed.

That young man had become a middle-aged man.

He was wearing a white robe and holding a golden cane in both hands.

Standing in the yellow sand, his body was exuding an extremely invisible majestic aura.

Behind him, there were still countless people following, and those people had pious eyes as if they regarded the middle-aged as a god.

"Sir, do you really want to leave today?" 

"I only came to this area for a trip, so I naturally want to leave." Ye Bei was still the young-looking Ye Bei, dressed in a white shirt, and his voice was leisurely.

The middle-aged man's eyes flashed with coldness, and he gritted his teeth, "Then, sir, will you come back?"

"Yes." The boy replied very positively.

The middle-aged man nodded, "Well, sir, I will wait for you."

That day...

Facing the endless sand and dust, the young man moved forward at a leisurely pace, and gradually disappearing into the desert.

The middle-aged man, with his own guards and hundreds of thousands of slaves, stood respectfully behind him to see him off.

How magnificent was the scene on that day?

Unfortunately

Another ten years had passed.

The middle-aged man had already begun to grow old, and he never saw Ye Bei come back, he even searched for the whole world but found that Ye Bei had disappeared.

After all, he was a mortal, so he became old. And could not withstand the erosion of years.

In his twilight years, he sat on the Pharaoh's throne.

Holding a golden cane that symbolized endless power, watching the endless wealth, watching the countless slaves, watching the magnificent beauty queen, he felt more and more desolate.

He didn't want to die.

He felt that he had not lived enough...

He made up his mind to find longevity.

He ordered all his guards and slaves to search for it.

That year, a huge meteorite fell from the sky.

Then he made contact with it.

The spiritual power contained in it was accidentally absorbed by him, but the price paid was heavy.

His appearance was completely ruined.

His body simply couldn't resist the erosion of years, and he had already collapsed.

Only his soul was always immortal...

Over the past 5,000 years, he had been thinking every day, trying to look for a solution. He had also seen time changing countless times, and his mentality had unknowingly undergone tremendous changes.

But no matter what, he was still far from Ye Bei.

He was not reconciled.

Therefore, he hid in the dark, endured torment, and kept making arrangements.

Inside the pyramid, Khufu's thoughts floated far.

After hearing Ye Bei's muttering words, he came back a little bit.

Then he stepped forward, "Professor Ye, this stone is indeed from outside the sky! It fell in the desert of Egypt and was found by my slave, and then it fell into my hand. I had a premonition that this stone is unusual, so I studied it carefully, and the black energy in it entered my body, making my soul immortal!"

"Yeah!" Ye Bei nodded slightly.

Khufu saw Ye Bei's indifferent attitude, his eyes lightened slightly, and his voice continued, "The reason why I can immortalize my soul is because of this stone, but over the years, I found that only I have succeeded. When other people tried, without exception, not only did not have any effect, but instantly turned into a mummy. But everyone who did the experiment was sealed in the Pyramid, and ordinary people would definitely not know it."

Ye Bei looked forward faintly. He didn't respond to Khufu and still moved forward.

When Ye Bei took another step, all the black gas disappeared.

A huge and spacious space was presented to everyone.

And when this space appeared, the archaeological experts who followed were once again shocked.

In the front, the hall was at least nearly 2,000 square meters.

The decoration inside was luxurious and spotless, and the layout was completely in the old style five thousand years ago.

The walls were full of Night-Luminescent Peals.

The bright light shone here like daylight.

"Unbelievable place! I feel that after passing through that door, it seems to have crossed time and space." An archaeologist exclaimed, his eyes widened, and looked at everything around him at the fastest speed.

An archaeologist rubbed his eyes vigorously, "Stone tools from the earliest period of Egyptian civilization, new but old statues, hand-painted calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls... what is this place? Is it really inside the pyramid?"

"Unbelievable, you can shock the world if you take out any of the things here."

There were also some archaeologists whose mouths were almost stuffed with an egg.

But soon these people discovered a new situation.

"Look, in the middle of this hall, there is a strange stone."

"The stone is not right."

"I feel that that thing is the key to everything."

"Let's take a look..."

First, they were shocked by the scene in front of them. Then, the archaeologists all threw aside the fear of Holmes's tragic death just now. They were all attracted by the huge rock in front of them. At the same time, they walked quickly towards that place.
