[You casually restored his health bar to full. Since the pain disappeared after his health was restored, Xu Wen immediately entered a complete coma, unaware of what had happened to him.]
"Uh, okay."
Yun Shou was a little embarrassed.
He had only been in the sixth realm for a short time and had not yet fully realized how many skills his nine Dao Seals brought him.
There's no need to mention the methods of the flesh-based cultivation system or the cultivation system; the simple Venerable Yuan system alone, with a Celestial being forcibly infusing Yuan energy, could keep Xu Wen alive and heal his injuries within one or two hours while simultaneously restoring him to his optimal condition.
"My thought just now felt like Daigo using Ultraman Tiga's account to unleash his red form and smash monsters with his fists."
"Although this is my account."
You stared at the boy lying on the ground, unconscious but breathing steadily, and mentally muttered a complaint.
["In old online novels, when describing an irreparable injury, a classic phrase would be: 'This kind of injury, even a celestial being descending to earth could not heal it.'"]
[But don't misunderstand, the "primordial era" genre hadn't yet emerged in online novels back then. The term "Daluo Shenxian" referred to a type of being in Taoism, which is different from the current definition of a transcendent being.]
"But now, with me, as long as the soul hasn't dissipated, even if the body is destroyed, it doesn't matter. I can easily create a new body for him and heal his soul's injuries."
[But once the soul dissipates, there's nothing you can do. That means complete death. Especially since the Daoist Master Bai He of Destiny said that there is no "underworld" in this world where one can reincarnate. The dissipation of the soul is death in the truest sense, and you can no longer meet in the underworld or rescue someone.]
"Let's use this kid as a starting point... emmm... let's pretend I'm a mysterious boy with amnesia who accidentally saved him."
"Experience an immersive adventure, like some of the spin-off games I've played. The player takes on the role of a character who awakens in an unknown place, possessing mysterious powers and an identity, and is then found by or encounters a local tribesman, gradually getting to know the world."
"The difference is that the other person usually encounters beautiful girls, but I encountered a guy."
Yun Shou: "Which second-tier games are you referring to? There are just too many similar ones!?"
"Oh wait, so it's me. I understand now."
Your gaze sweeps across a mountain of garbage. On the other side of that mountain stands a bald man whose legs have been modified into mechanical ones. The muzzle of his gun still reeks of gunpowder, and the barrel's diameter is a perfect match for the bullet inside the boy's body.
"Never mind him, let's save him for later plot conflict, to add some challenge." You're quite frank; right now, you don't even know who's right and who's wrong.
Judging people by their appearance is a big no-no. Who says that being ugly, having a fierce face, scars, mechanical legs, and a modified submachine gun automatically makes someone a villain?
[Perhaps the sunny, good-looking, injured boy you rescued was the real thief, who was just killed in the act of stealing.]
"Then why did you still choose this young man?" Yun Shou asked rhetorically.
The next moment he offered an explanation: "Because it's easier to get something in return for doing good deeds for others."
"And that scarred guy is ugly, so you're judging people by their appearance."
"But it's okay, because judging people by their appearance is a big no-no. Although the behavior is bad, there will be other ways to compensate."
[But just like getting a large full-sleeve tattoo, maybe the other person is a really nice person, but you still just want to find someone who looks normal.]
The truth will naturally reveal itself to you in due time.
Now, you detach yourself from the Dao Seal and begin cultivating your next incarnation.
Five hours later, in the evening.
You've reshaped your body to resemble your 16-year-old self—healthier and more handsome.
[His body structure has undergone multiple optimizations, his punching power is 1000 jin, and his full speed is 12 meters per second. Although his strength is the same as your second incarnation, he was designed to have the physique of a strong man in his twenties, while you are currently only a teenager.]
[At the level of mortals and even lower realms, the influence of "heavyweight" is still significant.]
"However, given my nearly 5900 times the essence multiplier, I'm roughly equivalent to someone who has just completed the Heavenly Origin Cleansing stage in the early Innate realm, which is weaker than Yun Liu at his peak when he was still human... He was a Grandmaster at the peak of his cultivation back then."
"The gap in cultivation levels is truly terrifying." You shook your head. "If someone from one of the other six realms were to rebuild their cultivation, they would at most possess a Saintly Body with a maximum multiplier of 360, which is merely the early stage of a Grandmaster with poor aptitude."
[You casually tested your skills with your fists and feet, and the resulting punch created a shockwave that caused a nearby, unstable pile of garbage, tens of meters high, to collapse, creating an avalanche-like effect.]
[Some deeply buried, decaying organic matter is exposed, and its pungent odor makes you frown. Just then, 17-year-old Xu Wen, who is standing nearby, is also awakened by the smell.]
He was shocked to find himself unharmed, then turned his gaze to you.
"Wasn't I shot and killed by that scarred guy? Why am I safe and sound now... Could it be you!?"
You nodded: "It was me. I saved your life with the last of my cell repair fluid."
[“Cell repair fluid…” Upon hearing this sophisticated term, Xu Wen froze for a moment. He quickly checked his body and found that there wasn’t a single bullet hole left. He was so healthy that he looked like a completely different person. The only evidence that he had been shot was the holes in his clothes and the bullet fragments on the ground.]
The first thought that flashed through Xu Wen's mind about that restorative fluid that could bring people back to life and transform them completely was: how expensive must it be...?
He still needs to save up 10,000 credits to repair his sister's damaged leg nerves. If he has to repay the cost of the cell repair fluid first... his sister will never be able to stand up again!
[Then you see Xu Wen kneel down before you on the spot, his head hitting the ground repeatedly.]
"I can never repay your immense kindness; I can only repay it by serving you like a cow or a horse in my next life!"
"Next life?"
You smiled knowingly: "So, it means I saved an ungrateful wretch?"
"No, no..." Cold sweat beaded on Xu Wen's forehead. "It's...it's me. I have no money."
[What followed was a torrent of complaints: her father who died young, her mother who disappeared, her disabled sister, and her broken love.]
[He's still of school age, yet he has to rummage through this garbage dump to earn credits for his younger sister's legs. It's truly a miserable situation.]
...
(I'm exhausted. Chapter 540 was automatically moved to Volume 1 and I can't delete it or switch volumes. I had to improvise and make up a new chapter to change that chapter... It's the last page of Volume 1. I had to dig out all the previously set timelines to get it done. I'll update two chapters this afternoon.)
