Chapter 116 Liu Zhen watched as Zhou Zheng's ashes slowly drifted down from mid-air.
After standing for a while, Zhou Zhengping felt a little uncomfortable, so he lay down on the floor and said, "Don't move me, let me catch my breath. I think I have a concussion."
But it doesn't quite look like a concussion.
With slightly dizzy eyes, I checked my entry.
[Mild to moderate soul shock (post-resurrection aftereffects, requires rest and recovery)]
[Note: Resting for three minutes will make you feel much better]
Zhou Zheng: "..."
Lei Zu has such great strength!
After lying there for three minutes, I finally recovered and got up again.
Zhou Zheng conducted another self-check, confirming that he was unharmed, and then signaled to the Fire God Loli to release the surrounding barrier.
Xiaoxue was the first to rush over and hug him tightly, her eyes brimming with tears: "Waaah!"
Zhou Zheng reassured him, "It's alright, it's alright. Your husband is protected by good fortune and blessed by the Thunder God. As long as you shout for help quickly enough, you won't die."
Liu Zhen stood aside with a dark expression, not wanting to say anything more.
Zhou Zheng comforted Xiaoxue for a while before she finally felt at ease.
The Vulcan Loli pointed and moved a chair under Zhou Zheng's buttocks.
Zhou Zheng slowly sat down. The shock to his soul had healed considerably, but due to his understanding of the great principles of heaven and earth, he still had an inner sense of "top-heavy and bottom-light".
Zhou Zheng remained silent, examining his own gains.
[Connecting to solar energy, reading]
[Reading complete, body disintegrates]
[Reflecting on the boundless love of Heaven]
Feeling grateful for Mother Earth's boundless love.
[Understanding the Way of All Beings]
[Interrupted enlightenment, physical rebirth]
[Note: Comprehending the Great Dao is a rare and unparalleled opportunity, but if one's cultivation, state of mind, and accumulated experience are insufficient, one will only be influenced by the Great Dao and there is a high probability that one will lose oneself.]
[Overall Assessment: Your understanding of the Great Dao has deepened, and the probability of transcending tribulation has increased by 10% by default. This opportunity offers you many benefits, which you will need to explore on your own.]
Zhou Zheng pondered. Indeed, having a body gives rise to the seven emotions and six desires. Without a body, these emotions and desires quickly dissipate. A body provides strong protection; without one, one is easily assimilated by the energies of the world.
As an enlightened being, Zhou Zheng knew very well that if Lei Zu hadn't slapped him back, he would still have a considerable chance of becoming a heroic spirit of the Heavenly Dao, or a heroic spirit of the Earth Mother, or a heroic spirit protecting all living beings.
They will be protected by heaven and earth, but they will also lose their human identity and be separated from their lovers, family and relatives forever.
The physical body is the foundation for cultivating immortality.
After summarizing his findings, Zhou Zheng looked up and felt much better.
Liu Zhen's eyes were expectant: "You'd better give me a reasonable explanation."
Zhou Zheng thought for a moment and replied, "Sudden enlightenment is not a qualitative change that accumulates over time, but rather a stroke of genius in a single moment. What I mean is, although the risk is great, the reward is also great; my confidence in transcending the tribulation has increased by 10%."
Liu Zhen leaned back tactically: "That's it?"
You think you can fool me with this? You're willing to gamble with your life? Am I crazy or are you?
Zhou Zheng: "Is there a secret room? I want to report important information to the Celestial Venerable."
Liu Zhen took a deep breath: "You'd better make your sacrifice worth the risk, otherwise I will prioritize your safety from now on and ignore your nonsense."
Liu Zhen immediately set up an altar on the spot and had Zhou Zheng stand on it to activate the altar.
The world before Zhou Zheng's eyes suddenly shifted, and he found himself at the meeting place of the bigwigs.
It was still a powerful figure radiating golden light, but unlike last time, this time I was able to more clearly determine Lei Zu's location and vague appearance.
Hmm? Is this because I suddenly gained enlightenment about the great principles of heaven and earth?
Lei Zu: "Zhou Zheng, do you have intelligence to share?"
Zhou Zheng glanced at the numerous powerful figures present and said, "Your Excellency, this intelligence is quite important, and I would like to report it privately."
With a wave of his hand, Lei Zu obscured the divine light that filled the sky, leaving only him amidst the auspicious clouds.
Zhou Zheng: "The five sacred objects of the sun, sealed beneath the Special Operations Section of Launch Base 427, 500 kilometers away from Liangcheng in Ganzhou, contain a distress message personally released by the sun. I only heard a few words, and because I was close to my limit, I had to give up the rest of the message."
The message is: He is eating me.
An unknown and powerful evil god is devouring the sun and is clearly interfering with Earth. The leader of the Nine Streams Sect received a divine revelation stating that this sacred object of the sun can help unseal the Vermilion Demon. This disciple suspects that the divine revelation received by the leader of the Nine Streams Sect is part of the evil god's scheme, or at least that it was released by a force connected to the evil god.
Lei Zu: "Has the sun's vitality changed?"
Zhou Zheng: "No, it's still losing one ten-thousandth of its vitality every month."
Lei Zu: "It seems this evil god is powerful, but not powerful enough to devour the sun so quickly. Then we have a chance to change the future."
He paused for a moment.
Lei Zu said, "Zhou Zheng, you are a genius born to face this calamity, and the only one in the Nine Realms who has discerned the life force of the sun without paying a price. Your life is beneficial to the Nine Realms; you must not gamble with your life like this again."
The death of a Thunder God's son would cause the Thunder Ancestor heartache for centuries. The death of a genius born to face a calamity is beyond heartache; it represents an extreme situation where the difficulty of the calamity skyrockets.
Not only could Lei Zu not accept such a loss, but the Nine Realms could not and dared not accept such a loss either.
Zhou Zheng: "Ahem, this disciple will be more careful next time, and I'll improve my speed in calling for help by one level."
Lei Zu sighed and shook his head: "Never mind, have Liu Zhen pass on the message, it will be faster."
Zhou Zheng: "This disciple takes his leave. There is no more intelligence to report."
Lei Zu waved his hand: "Go, do more good deeds in the future, and use your merit to protect yourself. Even if you can't save someone's life, it will reduce the difficulty of you suffering from disasters."
Zhou Zheng: "Your disciple obeys."
The world before my eyes has changed, and I have returned to the human realm.
Liu Zhen was staring at him expectantly.
Zhou Zheng: "The intelligence is very valuable, and Lei Zu is very pleased with it. Don't worry, the Heavenly Venerable will not punish you."
Liu Zhen: "...I've already been scolded, is that even important? What's important is whether you've gained anything?"
Zhou Zheng: "Yes, the probability of transcending the tribulation increases by 10%."
Liu Zhen angrily swung his fist: "What the hell is this useful for! You're the Holy Son of the Thunder Department! Are you going to worry about not being able to survive the Heavenly Tribulation?!"
You're risking your life for this?! You're seriously insane!
"Bang!"
Zhou Zheng slammed directly into the wall, and couldn't be pried off.
"when……"
Zhou Zheng struggled to his feet after falling down, then stood up: "I dare to tell you the more important information, but do you dare to listen? I only dare to report this information to the Heavenly Venerable."
Liu Zhen: "...Never mind, as long as it works."
This is utterly hopeless, like the despair of a grown-up child becoming disobedient. A 10% increase in the success rate of transcending tribulation? What the hell is that useful for?!
Zhou Zheng stretched his limbs, confirming that he had recovered to over 90% of his original condition, and turned to look at... "Crack!"
Liu Zhen and the Fire Goddess Loli acted simultaneously, grabbing Zhou Zheng's head and turning him around to prevent him from looking in the direction of the Sun Relic.
[Zhou Zheng (cervical fracture)]
Zhou Zheng: "..." Damn it, what's wrong with you two?
The Vulcan Loli withdrew her hand sheepishly: "Sorry, I broke your neck."
Liu Zhen shamelessly straightened Zhou Zheng's head and cast a healing spell: "Be good, let's not watch anymore, your life is more important."
Zhou Zheng stretched his neck slightly to confirm that everything was alright, and complained, "I wasn't instantly killed; it was a process. As long as I don't push myself to my limit, it'll be fine."
Liu Zhen asked suspiciously, "Really? You died so quickly, I couldn't even save you."
Zhou Zheng: "Trust me."
Liu Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll trust you this time. Give it a try."
Zhou Zheng turned his head to look: "I just need to control the force..."
【die】
Liu Zhen stared speechlessly at the ashes slowly drifting down from mid-air and the perfectly formed, golden-red soul standing upright in the air: "What kind of control are you talking about?"
What do you take this solar relic for? You even think you can control its power? What level are you, and what level is it? How can you control its power? Do you even know your own strength, bro?
[Divine Blessing effect triggered; physical body reconstructed]
[1000 points deducted from Fortune]
Current Fortune Points: -975
Heaven rejoices because you have failed to accumulate enough merit and has decided to bestow even greater blessings upon you.
Zhou Zheng refused to believe it: "How could this be? It was so gentle the first time, how come it's so violent now?"
The Fire Goddess Loli politely explained, "The first time, there was no riot while it was under seal; there was a process of awakening, and five Nascent Soul Venerables were suppressing it. It is currently in a state of riot."
After seeing Zhou Zheng's physical body reshaped by the Celestial Venerable, the Fire Goddess Loli's attitude towards Zhou Zheng immediately improved significantly.
Zhou Zheng stared dejectedly at the ceiling, hands behind his back, "Damn, my good fortune. By the way, what level of cultivation is needed to see the sacred object of the sun without being harmed?"
