"How is that possible? According to our research, each person can only awaken their powers a maximum of three times; any more and they will be punished by Heaven!"

Only three times?

That seems pretty good. The previous Lei Kai was already this powerful after only his second awakening.

If he awakens a third time, wouldn't he be invincible?

"Oh, I thought I could stay awake forever. Looks like I was overthinking it!"

Gu Tianyi continued, "Each awakening is different. The first awakening is the least dangerous. Even if it fails, you won't suffer too much damage!"

"How could that be? People would die!" Li Tian thought of the old dean.

"No, according to our research, the first awakening does not result in death and is not very dangerous!"

"Impossible! I saw someone awaken for the first time yesterday and get struck by lightning and killed!" Li Tian retorted.

"Huh? He was struck by lightning and died? How is that possible?" Gu Tianyi couldn't believe it.

"It really was the former director of a mental hospital in Jing'an City. I was there at the time!"

Although Li Tian didn't see it immediately, he was certain that the old dean had been struck by lightning.

Gu Tianyi stood up, took a few steps, and asked, "Were you there?"

"Yes, it's right here!" Li Tian confirmed.

"So you saw his awakening ceremony?" Gu Tianyi asked again.

"I saw it!"

"How many symbols did he draw at the same time?" Gu Tianyi asked again.

“Not counting the four at the ceremony, the old dean drew ten more!” Li Tian said.

Gu Tianyi looked at Li Tian in shock and said, "I can only say that the old dean is a real man. He dared to use ten Heavenly Dao characters on his first awakening. Awesome!"

"What good is being awesome if you're dead!" Li Tian said dismissively.

"That's why I especially admire the old dean's courage. To carve ten symbols at once is practically suicide!"

"What, is there a word limit?"

"Of course, according to our latest research, the first awakening can only inscribe one word, the second two words, and the third three words."

"Furthermore, these words must form a system. That is to say, if the first time you awaken water, the second time it might be ice, but it absolutely cannot be fire!"

"What if it mutates?" Li Tian asked again.

"The first time is fine, and there's not much punishment for failure, but the second time is different. If you fail, you'll be struck by lightning."

"Furthermore, this model cannot be replicated. In other words, applying your successful experience to others will not work. You can only learn by analogy!"

"What if it's a father and son? That won't work either?"

"Nothing will do. Let me tell you, according to our research, the power of a second awakening is far greater than that of a first awakening, but a second awakening cannot be copied, otherwise it will also lead to unforeseen consequences."

Li Tian understood; this model could not be copied.

In other words, I succeeded, but applying my experience to others could only cost them their lives.

Just like Wang Dehui, he thought he meant well, but ended up doing bad things.

Li Tian had originally planned to enhance everyone around him, but now it seems he was overthinking it.

Even if you know the meaning of these words, you can't say it out loud; you can only let them figure it out for themselves.

Furthermore, Gu Tianyi stated that each person can only awaken three times, and it must be done systematically to succeed.

"How many times has the highest known Awakened One awakened?" Li Tian asked.

"Three times, the highest is only three times. Anyone who wanted to awaken four times died. I've said it before, a person can only awaken a maximum of three times!"

"According to our research, it is probably because the Heavenly Dao does not allow for excessively powerful forces to exist, which is why these people failed!"

Li Tian nodded without saying much; he had learned enough today.

It will take some time to fully digest it.

The two chatted for a while longer before Louis Koo left, satisfied.

This was because he had obtained ten more mysterious symbols from Li Tian.

Li Tian gave those same few words he had given to those people yesterday.

Having witnessed Wang Dehui's example, he dared not tell Gu Tianyi what all this meant.

"Dad, why does this feel so fantastical?" Ye Feng voiced his question.

“There are some things I cannot say, and should not say, because it would cause great terror! Just like this time when I suddenly entered a mental hospital!” Li Tian explained.

"Huh? Dad, you didn't come here for Wenwen?"

"Why did you come here for her?"

Li Tian looked at Ye Feng in surprise, then understood what he meant.

Feeling both annoyed and amused, he continued, "Don't think of me as so sinister. Your old man isn't as sinister as you imagine!"

The night breeze really wanted to ask a question,

Yeah?

But thinking about the possibility of getting beaten up, Ye Feng decisively backed down.

Li Tian was pondering whether he should try to awaken.

What kind of language will be used for awakening, and how will it be systematized?

Since he was still recovering, Li Tian did not let Ye Feng tell Huang Yin and the others that he had come out.

Now, let's take advantage of this precious time to study how to awaken to the true mastery.

This research took a whole day, during which Li Tian conducted countless arrangements.

Finally, the most satisfactory combination was selected.

king

Emperor

Gods and Buddhas

Li Tian felt that these three words were definitely big enough and could definitely meet his requirements.

If you can grasp even one of these, that would be incredibly awesome. You wouldn't need three awakenings; two would suffice.
