At this point, Wang Zheng's rambling, whether true or false, was a last resort.
Firstly, he was unwilling to tell the old man about the ferocious beast inside him.
After all, this matter is too outrageous, and it's hard to say whether this guy is on my side now.
The second reason was that he also wanted to find something for his principal to do, so that he wouldn't be discouraged after his injury.
At the very least, I am an example in front of him, so that he knows that even if he is injured and cannot recover temporarily, there is still another way to become stronger.
A path that even those who are not extraordinary can, after cultivating visualization techniques to their fullest potential, become capable of rivaling the Demon King.
After hearing Wang Zheng's explanation, Chu Tianxing was stunned for a long time before he seemed to have come to terms with reality. He sighed deeply and then calmly said:
"I was seriously injured this time, and my strength has been greatly reduced. I'm already extremely lucky to have survived. It's highly unlikely that I'll ever have a chance to recover to my previous level..."
Upon hearing that Chu Tianxing also had some understanding of his injuries, Wang Zheng was also taken aback.
At first, he thought the old man hadn't realized it yet.
But then he suddenly seemed to realize something and cursed himself for being stupid.
That makes sense; as a top-tier superhuman, how could he not have a certain understanding of his own physical condition?
So Wang Zheng stopped beating around the bush and asked directly:
"Tell me exactly how you got injured, maybe we can find a way."
Chu Tianxing smiled bitterly, but seeing the stubbornness in Wang Zheng's eyes, he didn't insist any further and explained:
"Actually, it's not that complicated. With six demon kings blocking my way from both sides, how could I possibly fight back?"
That is, their attacks came one after another, and I dodged and resisted them one after another. If I couldn't dodge, I would use the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form to withstand the attacks. If I couldn't withstand it, I would be destroyed and then re-condensed.
Then, in the repeated resistance, the Dharma Form of Heaven and Earth was shattered countless times, until it finally dissipated to the point that it could no longer be reconstituted.
Then I was saved by superhumans who came to my aid, and then you came along.
Moreover, because of the complete destruction of the Dharma image, I could feel that my brain core had also shattered.
Now, whenever I close my eyes, I can see a blue-white crystal constantly cracking in my mind.
And it was even crackling with lightning.
The scene was truly spectacular.
"By the way, you know what brain nuclei are, right?"
Wang Zheng knew that although Old Man Chu spoke lightly, he must be feeling extremely distressed inside.
A lifetime of hard work gone to ashes, a complete fall from grace—who could accept that? Isn't it even more painful than dying and ending it all?
But isn't that what life is all about? Silently enduring all the hardships and moving forward with heavy burdens, falling down and getting hurt all over, then getting up again, silently brushing off the dust, and then starting afresh.
Isn't this process of striving upwards more exhilarating and more prestigious than simply standing at the top?
Especially in such an era, apart from death and the extinction of the body, the rest are just minor injuries.
However, Wang Zheng doesn't have a better way to help at the moment, and he can only use half-true and half-false guesses to coax his principal.
As for the future, who can say for sure? Who knows, the old man might actually find a way out on his own. After all, he is a true chosen one and a peerless genius.
Wang Zheng suppressed his distracting thoughts, nodded silently, and echoed his principal's words.
"I know, Master Bai told me about it when I went to Zijin Mountain last time."
It's said that this brain core is similar to the inner core of a demon king; it's a crystal formed from the condensed spiritual energy within the awakened being, an item in the same conceptual sense as a spiritual energy crystal.
Chu Tianxing had always admired Wang Zheng's breadth of knowledge, so he nodded and continued:
"Normal exotic beasts will condense spiritual energy crystals when they reach the second or third grade."
Although the crystal gave them a greater speed of evolution and a higher limit of spiritual energy, it also led to constant battles between the beasts.
After all, spiritual energy crystals can be devoured by each other.
However, unlike the beasts, humans, under normal circumstances, need to locate the brain core from nothingness when they begin to transform into mortals, and then condense this brain core in one fell swoop to achieve transcendence.
This has reduced much of the conflict among humans, which is precisely why the human race has been able to contend with numerous other beast races to this day.
When Wang Zheng heard that Chu Tianxing had changed the subject instead of continuing to talk about his injuries, he knew that Chu Tianxing's habit of being a know-it-all had struck again.
However, Wang Zheng did not interrupt, but let Old Man Chu continue speaking. After all, it wouldn't hurt for him to hear more about the process of transcending the mortal realm and the stories between extraordinary individuals.
Chu Tianxing paused, then continued:
"Before I was transformed into a mortal, although I was often injured, in the context of the spiritual energy era, all kinds of rich healing abilities emerged one after another. As long as my mind was not damaged or the time was too long, I could usually be saved."
The only difference is the length of time required for recovery and recuperation.
But this time is different. I have already transcended the mortal realm and naturally condensed a brain core.
Normally, the brain core should be like the inner core of a demon king, which is essentially a crystallization of spiritual energy; they are all of the same nature.
Logically speaking, even if it is dug out, it should be difficult to damage.
However, these are all just theoretical. I don't know if the country has any such stockpiles, but I've certainly never seen any.
But for me, I don't know if it's because my injury was too severe, but my brain core shattered with a 'pop' right inside my brain.
Although it wouldn't get worse under normal circumstances unless I used my powers violently, I could see countless cracks on the brain core, crystal clear.
I've tried it myself, and I can heal these cracks of varying depths by absorbing spiritual energy and circulating it within my body.
However, the repair process is extremely slow, so slow that at this rate it would take at least several hundred or even a thousand years, and there's no guarantee that it will ever be fully restored.
Can I live that long?
So, this old man has resigned himself to his fate.
