But Stephen Chow's questions also followed:
Why didn't he have either innate or acquired fortune?
The system immediately provided an answer:
[Ding! The more advanced something is, the simpler and clearer it is. So-called innate or acquired fortune has no meaning before the chosen one of the world.]
Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Zhou Xingdou's eyes:
"If I kill him, could I gain the chance to travel through the heavens and return to the beginning of time?"
But the system immediately intervened, saying:
[Ding! It's certainly possible, but the host needs to understand that in your current state, killing should be put aside for now. Thinking about how to recover is the right thing to do.]
Moreover, although the system currently doesn't have a restriction on clearing luck points, killing the chosen one of this world in this realm is, even if successful, a loss outweighs the gain.
The system has already gone this far, how could Zhou Xingdou not understand what the system means:
"You mean you have a better way?"
[Ding! Host, wouldn't you like to recruit a chosen one of the world under your command?]
[This is a Child of the World, not every world can nurture such a being. Even across the entire universe, they are extremely rare. They are destined to break free from the shackles of their past lives. Moreover, they also saved the host's life; if they hadn't used many excellent rare items, the host probably wouldn't have awakened so quickly.]
Moreover, such pure-hearted and kind-hearted children of the world are almost non-existent in the current world corrupted by chaos. That is why this system came into being to reclaim these blessings. Now that I have discovered them, I cannot help but feel a sense of appreciation for their talent.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xingdou also abandoned the idea of killing Xiao Tianzuo, not because of the system's so-called love for talent, nor because it was a losing proposition.
Instead, as the system said, Xiao Tianzuo had used up quite a few good rare items to awaken him ahead of schedule.
If something is considered a decent rare item by the system, it must be quite valuable. Even though Xiao Tianzuo is the Chosen One, at his current level, those items are probably still very valuable to him.
Although Zhou Xingdou was not exactly a gentleman, he couldn't bring himself to repay kindness with enmity. Moreover, in his opinion, Xiao Tianzuo really didn't have any malicious intentions towards him, so killing him was indeed inappropriate.
However, he also discovered the key point in the system's words: "Chaos erodes all the heavens, and those with good fortune no longer exist. The system was born in response to this." This sentence revealed a lot of information.
But for Zhou Xingdou now, this wasn't the time to think about these things. He simply joked about the system's words:
"Now you even have a love for talent. If you get repaired a few more times, will you become a physical entity?"
The system's tone was no longer indifferent; it even cracked a joke:
[Ding! It's hard to say. Host, would you like to reserve the gender and appearance of this system's future entity?]
The more the system is repaired, the more emotional it becomes, a fact that Zhou Xingdou already knew. Therefore, he was not surprised by the system's sudden ability to joke.
"Let's put aside these useless things for now. The most important thing now is how to recover to my peak condition. Even if my cultivation level cannot be restored, my life essence must be restored at least once or twice in order to maintain my perfect divine body."
Zhou Xingdou asked the system somewhat urgently. He found it hard to accept his current state, which was like that of a cripple. Being in another world with this broken body made him feel unsafe.
His dantian was shattered. Even if the dantian were restored to its original state, his cultivation would have been scattered. Even if it were restored, he would have to start all over again.
However, his physique is different. Although it is now dilapidated, the foundation is still there. The 840 million giant elephant particles are still there. As long as the life essence is restored, he can restore his peak physical body.
With Zhou Xingdou's physical strength, even without cultivation, he could overpower a Great Sage-level expert, and he was immune to all magic, which made him feel much more at ease in this unfamiliar world.
[Ding! Isn't there an elixir of immortality in the system warehouse? Although it's not enough to restore the host's lost cultivation, the ominous influence has now been completely worn away by the river of time. Replenishing the host's life essence is not a big problem, except perhaps for being a bit wasteful.]
Upon hearing the system's words, Zhou Xingdou finally remembered his Divine Phoenix Immortal Medicine, which was lying in the system's warehouse and almost gathering dust.
At this moment, he couldn't care less about wasting it, since the Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality was useless to him anyway, and its greatest value to him was right now.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xingdou did not hesitate for a moment and instantly extracted the legendary Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality into his own hands.
In an instant, an extremely rich and powerful life essence swept in like a surging tide, completely enveloping the entire room.
The richness of this life essence even exceeded Zhou Xingdou's imagination. It seemed to possess its own consciousness, rapidly condensing into layers of water mist that permeated the air.
Zhou Xingdou knew that time was of the essence, so he did not delay at all. With great effort, he raised his trembling arm and put the incomparably precious Divine Phoenix Elixir into his mouth without hesitation.
In that instant, the entire world seemed to tremble, and a clear and melodious phoenix cry resounded throughout the heavens and earth. This phoenix cry, like celestial music, echoed through the clouds, moving all who heard it.
At the same time, the originally abundant life essence in the room underwent an astonishing change the moment the Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality was ingested. As if drawn by some mysterious force, it transformed into clusters of intense, blazing Nirvana Flames, surging towards Zhou Xingdou with overwhelming force.
These flames of rebirth were blazing and dazzling, possessing the undying will of the phoenix rising from the ashes. Though intensely hot, they were harmless, quickly enveloping Zhou Xing and transforming into a giant fire cocoon, locking all unusual movements within.
Meanwhile, outside the house, Xiao Tianzuo looked at the divine phoenix circling in the sky and smiled sincerely, muttering to himself:
"This brother is lucky; he's risen from the ashes like a phoenix, and his injuries are likely to heal completely."
But at that moment, a dazzling light emanated from the ancient bronze ring on Xiao Tianzuo's hand, and from that light came a cold yet noble female voice:
"Tianzuo, don't blame me for not warning you, this person is definitely not simple. You've wasted so many of my top-grade pills to keep him alive. Be careful not to let a wolf into your house!"
Xiao Tianzuo smiled helplessly and said softly:
"Why do you think so badly of people, senior? I only know to do good deeds and not worry about the future. I am happy if I can save one person."
The cold voice softened slightly at this moment, but it still showed no mercy as it said:
"With your character, the world will surely devour you until there's nothing left!"
Xiao Tianzuo chuckled twice, but his eyes were filled with unwavering determination as he slowly said:
"If I weren't this kind of person, why would my senior have chosen me?"
