Chapter 518: Chapter 318: Omen Blade - Radiation Mace
May 18th, Saturday, early morning.
For the vast majority of the world, today is just another ordinary day off.
Alarm clocks are ringing in every corner of the cities, some early risers have already begun to enjoy the tranquility and freshness that the morning light brings.
The buzz of coffee machines, the sizzling sound of bread in the oven, these everyday noises echo through homes, signaling the start of a relaxed weekend.
Office workers are pressure-free this morning without the commute, they might sleep in a bit longer or get up early for some exercise and breathe in the fresh air.
Children, particularly excited during the holidays, are already impatient to start their games.
Families who love outdoor activities are preparing their picnic baskets, planning to spend a day full of laughter in the parks or countryside.
In cities around the world, vegetable markets and morning fairs are bustling, where people pick the freshest ingredients to prepare a more lavish lunch or dinner for their families.
Coffee shops and breakfast joints on the streets also open their doors early to serve those who need a simple meal to start their day.
As for Chen Yun, lying at home,
he’s frankly rather idle at the moment.
Last night, he turned into a meteor, flew around the world indiscriminately, destroyed all the bases of the Black Tide Alliance, and directly or indirectly killed thousands of people.
But that didn’t really affect him.
Although many in the know were frightened,
it did not affect him, who had momentarily paused his travels; in fact, he leisurely returned to his home in Jiangnan Province.
Having not been home for a long time, he had planned to take a quick look before continuing to wander around the world.
However, seeing his mother busy in the kitchen early in the morning, Chen Yun helplessly shook his head.
He approached the kitchen door and said, "Mom, I’ve already said we’re well-off now, why get up so early and fuss around? Just order some takeout."
Chen Yun is not pedantic.
He doesn’t have that mindset where he can only accept money that he’s earned cleanly.
He had long since achieved financial freedom through the channels of the Xianghe Group, and after taking Southeast Asia’s underlings, money truly became just a number to him.
Now fully capable of becoming a planetary governor, he need not care about money.
So,
he had long convinced his family not to go out and work.
Even if they really can’t stand idleness, at least they shouldn’t engage in hard, tiring jobs with meager earnings. They can just do whatever they like, regardless of whether it makes money or not, just to pass the time.
But even though his mother had been successfully persuaded to stop her arduous work,
she still got up early to cook.
"You rarely come home, do you really want to eat takeout?"
"If I don’t do it, are we supposed to expect your dad and your brother to manage?"
His mother said with a roll of her eyes.
Hearing this,
Chen Yun’s spiritual power glanced at his sleeping mother and younger brother, then shook his head helplessly.
What else could he do?
Though he no longer needed to eat,
knowing he liked snake, this morning his mother started making Snake Meat Porridge.
It would be terribly inconsiderate not to have a bowl.
As for how his mother knew this information, of course it was when Bai Shi, Sun Huwen, and Jiang Anping had come to visit Jiangnan Province and added her as a friend.
As time passed,
His dad and younger brother got up and started washing up because of the aroma of breakfast, and the silly dog Bai Jin also excitedly ran to Chen Yun’s feet to lie down.
The family quickly gathered around the table to eat.
During this time,
the topic of dating and marriage inevitably came up from his mother, who was clearly concerned about her son’s lifelong matters.
On this matter,
Several figures flashed through Chen Yun’s heart,
but eventually, they all dissipated into nothingness.
For him now, the need for a Taoist couple is greater than that for a partner,
because the pursuit of the Tao will surpass everything.
At the very least, one must evolve to where the skin is smooth and perfect, without him detecting any ugliness, right?
If the partner truly achieves this,
then Chen Yun would be more interested in discussing evolution and the pursuit of the Tao with them than in the most primordial desire of reproducing offspring.
After all, for him, who is virtually Eternal Life,
the goal and motivation to pass on genetic information doesn’t seem very strong.
To Chen Yun, eternal life has given his existence a whole new dimension.
With the accumulation of time, his understanding of the world is deepening, and those things once important in his eyes gradually become less so.
Especially the innate human drive for reproducing offspring, in Chen Yun’s view, has already lost most of its significance.
Traditionally, humans pursue having children not only because of biological instinct but also as an emotional and cultural legacy.
However, for a being with infinite lifespan, the concept of time has undergone a fundamental change.
Chen Yun realizes that his existence is not measured in decades anymore, but rather in centuries or even longer.
In such a lengthy period, he has ample time to pursue higher objectives, like exploring the mysteries of the universe, enhancing his ability, or even finding a companion to share the eternal life.
Under these circumstances, the meaning of reproducing offspring becomes trivial.
The growth of offspring requires time, and for an immortal, this process is but a moment in a lengthy life.
