Since consciousness is eternal and indestructible, only the body is constantly destroyed.
Zhang Chen, therefore, did not defy the laws of life and created a new, young, and energetic body.
This was equivalent to Zhang Chen, with the golden ring, being reborn.
“Although this body is not eternal, it can at least accompany Xila for the next hundred years.”
“If a renewal is needed then, come find me again!”
As Zhang Chen spoke, he opened his right hand, revealing a blue-green crystal.
The crystal slowly floated towards Xila and landed in her palm.
“This is a crystal condensed with the energies of time and space. As long as you crush it, no matter where I am, you will come to my side.”
“And then I will fulfill my promise to you!”
Zhang Chen said.
“Thank you, thank you!”
Xila smiled gratefully, then took off the colorful crystal necklace from her neck and handed it to Zhang Chen.
“This crystal was originally a wishing stone that my husband sought from another world to alter the laws of life. It is said to be called the Wishing Stone.”
“It is a pity that while the Wishing Stone can create all things and change luck, it cannot violate the laws of life.”
“Now that we have obtained what we desired, this crystal is a return gift for you!”
Zhang Chen received the crystal, and soon, a powerful, special energy surged into his body from it!
This crystal was not a simple law crystal, but a convergence of three types of meteorite energies in an extremely complex structure.
It could be understood as a pre-designed skill, possessing a collection of limited abilities such as creation, luck, time reversal, and precognition.
“I originally thought that the energy structures of creation and destruction meteorites were the most numerous!”
“Now, it seems that the energy structures of other meteorites, and the mixed energy structures of multiple meteorites, have effects and complexities far beyond my imagination.”
“I was completely like a frog in a well before, and yet I was so proud. I am truly ashamed!”
Zhang Chen’s eyes looked into the distance through Xila, and he seemed to be immersed in an ocean of infinite knowledge.
He was desperately absorbing knowledge from the ocean, but no matter how greedy and thirsty he was, the knowledge seemed inexhaustible.
The more he learned, the more he realized how little he knew; the more he learned, the more he was astonished!
“What? What is that? Tell me quickly, what did you see?”
Wang Hai’an asked with intense jealousy and eagerness.
“I saw too much… it’s impossible to describe in words.”
“I saw the laws of all things, the principles of everything… they are so clear, so simple. Why didn’t I discover them before?”
Zhang Chen muttered, his eyes wide open.
“What principles, what laws, tell me, tell me quickly!”
Wang Hai’an was going mad with anxiety.
He had studied for five hundred years and had only figured out a few rules within the law crystal.
And he could only follow these rules, not change them.
Yet Zhang Chen had done nothing; by merely absorbing the meteorite's energy, he could see the most advanced knowledge that Wang Hai’an had painstakingly tried to learn.
“This is unfair! Why him, why not me?! Why don’t I have the chance to be favored by the laws?! Why?!”
Wang Hai’an shouted in anger.
“Phew!”
After a long while, Zhang Chen finally exhaled.
He looked as if he had undergone a baptism, his eyes changed.
Deep, wise, as if he had seen through everything.
“Kill him, Xiuxiu!”
Wang Hai’an said coldly.
Whoosh!
Xiuxiu instantly rushed in front of Zhang Chen and punched him heavily in the abdomen.
Bang!
Zhang Chen staggered back a few steps, then raised his left hand towards Xiuxiu, who was charging at him again.
In an instant, Xiuxiu’s eyes lit up, and she seemed to have instantly recovered.
“Zhang Chen!”
Xiuxiu changed her posture mid-air, spread her legs, and straddled Zhang Chen’s neck.
“You’re awake?”
Zhang Chen gently took Xiuxiu down and asked, smiling as he stroked her hair.
“Mmm, I’ve waited for this moment for a long time. I knew I would wait for you!”
“Now that I’ve grown up, I can marry you!”
Xiuxiu said proudly, puffing out her small chest.
