The old man ignored Jia Weixin and looked at Yang Yuan: "Thank you, young man, for clearing my confusion. This ti, I consider myself free."
Jia Weixin: "???"
Yang Yuan smiled and said: "Freedom cos at a price. Your existence requires a vessel."
"Sotis, life is just a burden," the old man in the Zhongshan suit sighed.
"What... exactly is going on here?" Jia Weixin was a bit anxious, feeling that the two were hiding sothing from him.
The old man in the Zhongshan suit glared at Jia Weixin and said flatly: "From now on, take care of yourself. Old man, I want to..."
Jia Weixin’s face changed dramatically: "Chief, are you going to disappear completely?"
"Disappear your big head ghost!"
The old man in the Zhongshan suit slapped him directly: "I’m going to be free!! I’ll never be summoned by you again, don’t even think about commanding !"
"Ah? This..."
Jia Weixin breathed a sigh of relief but was soon bewildered. The chief is his superpower, what will he do if the chief leaves?
"Stop talking nonsense, take care of things yourself from now on. I won’t be accompanying you!"
The old man snorted coldly, but softened a little before he left, pointing between Jia Weixin’s eyebrows.
The next mont, Jia Weixin felt a surge of heat all over his body, as if he had a cold, with his immunity greatly reduced.
In this state, he broke into a sweat in an instant.
But it only lasted a few seconds, then this state disappeared, and a piece of information rose to the forefront of his mind:
[Steel Body: Physique System]
In an instant, he felt his physique drastically improve, from just a bit stronger than an average person, to a level where he seed capable of destroying heaven and earth.
In fact, it was just from barely awakening to jumping to level thirty-eight, which was his original conceptual system level.
The newly awakened ability inherited the original level.
"This... did I awaken a second ability?"
Jia Weixin was shocked.
"Nonsense!"
The old man in the Zhongshan suit said dismissively: "It’s a gift from , not sothing you awakened yourself. But it’s almost the sa. In this life, my existence depended on you, and now, I’ll give it back to you. This kind of gift cos at a high price. If I had countless followers, it wouldn’t matter, but I don’t like that sort of thing. Now, I’ve sacrificed myself, giving this life back to you. In the future, take care, learn to handle things yourself, and don’t rely on for everything."
As he finished speaking, he disappeared once more, leaving only the Golden Shoulder Badge suspended in mid-air.
"Young man, thank you, and I hope we et again soday."
The old man’s voice ca from the Golden Shoulder Badge.
Then, under everyone’s gaze, the Golden Shoulder Badge integrated into the space and disappeared.
"Chief..."
Jia Weixin’s face changed again, looking sowhat anxious as he turned to Yang Yuan: "Mr. Yang Yuan, what exactly is happening?"
Yang Yuan sighed: "The old man misses his holand, he should have returned to his old place on Earth. But even if he reached his destination, he would need to sleep a long ti before he can revive. In other words, he is already dead. It will require burying the Golden Shoulder Badge underground for tens of thousands of years, absorbing the essence of the heaven and earth, and the sun and moon, thus slowly reviving like a Mountain God or spirit. He wants to have a true life, not just exist as an immortal on an abstract level."
"Tens of thousands of years..."
Jia Weixin drew a sharp breath; wouldn’t that an he would never see the old chief again?
But——
Now he is a Superpower User, and arguably has had a second awakening, which should allow him to live a long ti.
"Let’s not dwell on such sorrowful matters, after all, the old man isn’t truly dead; rather, he has been reborn. Director Jia should be happy for him."
Yang Yuan walked over, pulled so liquor from his Void Ring, and, walking to the desk, poured a cup for Jia Weixin, as well as for himself.
He took a sip from his own cup and said: "His existence wasn’t directly created by you, but was crafted from the thoughts of sentient beings. However, you must know that the thoughts of sentient beings will eventually fade away."
"The thoughts of sentient beings will disappear?" Jia Weixin frowned.
Yang Yuan smiled and said: "A person, from birth to death, leaves behind traces, which are the proof of their existence. The thoughts of sentient beings are precisely the power of ’rembering’ by those who rember them. When the people who rember him have all died, or have forgotten him altogether, he will vanish completely, as if erased by the world."
Jia Weixin frowned again: "So if I’m still alive, and I continue to rember him, what then?"
"Since he was awakened by you, rembering him can indeed keep him existing, but what’s the point?"
Yang Yuan poured himself another drink and, finishing it in one go, smiled and said: "If it were you, would you want to live in soone else’s mory? Relying on soone rembering you to continue living, and if soday they choose to forget you, to disappear inexplicably. Would you be willing?"
"Of course not, I would prefer to live for myself. My fate is mine to decide and not the heavens..."
Jia Weixin trailed off, falling silent.
"Isn’t that the case?"
Yang Yuan sighed: "If even you feel that way, how could the elder you admire be willing to only live in the mories of others? Although he seems to be dead now, in fact, he’s been reborn because his consciousness hasn’t vanished."
"What do you an?" Jia Weixin was suddenly moved and asked hurriedly.
"Exactly what it sounds like,"
Yang Yuan smiled and said: "For the next tens of thousands of years, he’ll maintain a state of existence through conscious thought. You heard what he said to when he left, didn’t you? He will survive with the Golden Shoulder Badge as his body; it’s no longer really life and he’s lost all abilities he once had, no longer a Conceptual Deity. Therefore, he needs tens of thousands of years to nurture his own physical body, or even nurture his own life. Now, he is rely a pure conscious thought."
He paused and added: "The elder’s existence is very special; he wasn’t a living being, so he had no soul. It’s impossible to reshape his body with treasures; otherwise, I would have done it just now."
Yang Yuan, at present, can’t help others reshape their bodies, but can use a printer to scan and print a body.
As the level of the printer rises, it can transform ability into material.
Now, using the Power of Creation to create an ordinary body is almost negligible in consumption.
"I see."
Although Jia Weixin was still very regretful and saddened in his heart, he let out a big sigh of relief.
Yang Yuan put away his cup, leaving the one for Jia Weixin, and smiled: "I ca to you this ti to inform you that soon... maybe in two or three days, the heavens might change, Director Jia, be cautious."
Having said that, he opened the Gate of Space and left with Zhao Jiayan and Jiang Yiyi.
"Mr. Yang Yuan..."
Jia Weixin still wanted to say sothing, but the Space Gate vanished automatically.
"Sigh!"
He sighed, took the cup off the table, and drank it in one go.
A strong taste of alcohol washed over him, and the next mont—
"Boom—"
His physique surged dramatically, his aura rapidly soaring.
In the blink of an eye, he broke through to level forty, becoming an Earth Level being.
"This..."
Jia Weixin was taken aback, and then looked at the cup in his hand: "What kind of treasure is the drink Mr. Yang Yuan gave ?"
Actually, it wasn’t any kind of treasure, just normal liquor.
But he had forgotten one thing: the current Yang Yuan is soone he needs to look up to; the usual drink Yang Yuan consus is already a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure for him.
Originally, as a Conceptual Superpower User, he, like Yang Yuan, could not rely on Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to enhance himself. His level shackles were tougher than the Celestial Lock, and no power could break them, so he could only rely on himself.
He didn’t know how others advanced, but for him, it required the old man to take action.
Every ti the old man took action, he gained so experience.
Moreover, he couldn’t compel the old man to act; often, the old man was the one in control.
But now, with the old man’s voluntary departure, it’s equivalent to the disappearance of his identity as a Conceptual Superpower User, and that level shackle naturally disappeared as well.
So now, he can quickly improve with the help of treasures.
Because he wasn’t a pure Conceptual Superpower User, he could do this. Previously, the Conceptual Ability had a large elent of coincidence.
Under those circumstances, he restricted the old man’s freedom, and the old man also occupied his superpower slot, preventing him from awakening a second superpower.
Now, with the old man’s departure, his superpower slot has been freed, allowing for a second ability to fit in.
Of course, this is under normal circumstances. Normally, people have only one superpower.
However, within the Alliance, one can learn other Superpower Techniques.
