"Someone like you, who has achieved such success in several fields at the same time, is already a genius among geniuses. However, even the most genius has its limits. So if you want to study medicine or poisons now, you will find that the cost is extremely high and it is basically impossible to learn them."
Zuan fell silent. He had reached a very high level in cultivation, rune formation, painting, and disguise, not to mention a series of skills such as weapon crafting, alchemy, and gourmet food. If it weren't for the system's help, he would never have been able to reach this level in so many fields. However, the system could not help him indefinitely, and now he had finally hit the ceiling of his secondary cultivation.
"Is there any way to break this restriction or shackle?" Zuan asked.
“Since ancient times, very few people have been able to solve this problem,” Mi Li shook her head slightly. “Even among the legendary gods, only a very few seem to have been able to solve it.”
Zuan was taken aback: "Even gods have to accept this restriction?"
“That is natural. It is an ironclad law of all the heavens and myriad realms, and can even be called the most fundamental law in the universe,” Mi Li replied.
After a long silence, Zuan suddenly said, "Could it be that humans and even many other living beings in the universe were created by some being? Otherwise, why do all living beings have such shackles?"
Mi Li shook her head slightly: "This is a question that all the powerful beings in the universe have explored, but none of them have found an answer. The most mainstream theory at present is that there exists a god in the universe who governs the way of balance, balancing Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, life and death... preventing individuals from becoming excessively powerful. The shackles I just mentioned are a means to balance the forces of all parties. Otherwise, if every living being could learn to the pinnacle in every field, then the resources of all the heavens and myriad worlds would simply not be enough, and the balance would be broken, and even all the universes would collapse..."
"The god who governs the balance..." Zu'an's heart stirred. He hadn't thought about it in detail before, but there were many examples in his daily life. For instance, where venomous snakes roamed, there would always be something nearby that could neutralize their poison. Some poisonous herbs and spiritual medicines often grew together...
Wait a minute, isn't this just one of those game developers who are obsessed with balancing numbers?
“You don’t need to think about this too much. Actually, I’ve already told you too many things I shouldn’t have said today,” Mi Li said solemnly. “I only explained the reasons to you in detail because I was worried that your Dao heart would be damaged. If you delve deeper, you will easily attract the gaze of certain beings, and all that awaits you will be destruction.”
Zu'an quickly suppressed his desire to find that deity: "Thank you for the reminder, Master Sister, but from what you just said, it seems there is still a way to break this soul shackle?"
Mi Li nodded: "There are indeed people in history who have broken this shackle, but I don't know the method. You don't need to pursue it deliberately. Everyone who can break this shackle on their soul is a person with great fortune. You can't force it."
Zu An nodded, no longer dwelling on that, and instead inquired about Xie Daoyun.
“I already know about that girl’s situation. Don’t worry, you will be reunited soon,” Mi Li said.
