We're all just posing questions to each other for fun, right?

Then, is immortality wrong for mortals to experience?

No offense, but that's a dumb question! Immorality can't be avoided! We fuck up, learn and do better.

What do you mean that it can't be avoided?

That is just living. If you can't do that with a normal lifespan, I'm concerned about how you've been living your life.

Oh wait, shit, did you say immortality? I misheard.

Yeah, I guess you're right. I know some Cultivators manage immortality, so it's not wrong or impossible.

It seems I did, too.

[ He was about to get more frantic at the idea it can't be avoided. It can and it should be avoided, okay? Fuck that shit. Immortality is a torment not a boon. Vincent holds his hands out as he calms himself down. ]

Know what now?

[Xue Yang snorts and then chuckles. Oops! Emotions do cloud things, don't they.]

Cultivators. They're people from my world that fight demons, monsters, ghosts and sometimes chase down criminals.

Oh, so like superheroes. Great.

You don't think it's wrong that they have immortality, too?

Not...entirely. They're still mortals.

If they earn it, what's wrong with it? It's not easy.

Just people with powers, then.

What's wrong with it? My first answer remains the same. If you can't achieve or do everything you can in a normal lifespan, what are they doing with their lives?

They're just clinging onto living at that point.

Becoming more experienced, I suspect. I don't really think there is an end to cultivating a spirit. The longer you do it, the stronger you get.

You're strangely bitter. Are you immortal?
