At this moment, as if realizing something, a status screen appeared in Yu Zi Yu’s mind.

 

Race: Mutant Human

Rank: Peak Tier-1 Transcendent.

Innate Talent: Ancient Wisdom – Innate wisdom and intelligence, or you can call it memories of previous lives.

Unique Abilities: Innate Sword Qi – The road of Sword Cultivation is a thorny path, filled with challenges at every step. Only with the Innate Sword Qi can one cut through the earth and the sky, cut all things in the world. (Anyone who cultivates the Innate Sword Qi becomes a remarkable genius, their strength surpassing peers of the same level.) 

Primordial Essence – Holding a ball of Primordial Essence, you can transform world Spiritual Energy into a palm.

Rejuvenation Technique – Significantly delay aging, it can even lock vitality and maintain youth.

Art of Alchemy – Inner Core can refine flesh and bones, life and death, and increase cultivation, while the External Core can transmute all things, seize the creation of heaven and earth, and surpass levels to defeat enemies, a feat that transcends destiny itself. (In the eyes of Sword Cultivators, External Core is also called ‘Innate Sword Pill.’ When the External Core has been perfected, it will radiate a stunning brilliance like the rising sun, Sword Qi would fill the world. Its user can display unparalleled might.) 

 

 

Recalling the status screen that had just flashed by, Yu Zi Yu’s expression grew a bit serious. [He indeed had the right to call himself the ‘Chosen One’ and the ‘Son of this Era.’ Putting everything aside, just the contents of this incomplete status screen has taught me quite a lot of information…]

 

[I am already a Tier-3 Transcendent, yet when compared to that man, I still feel as though my status screen is lacking…] Yu Zi Yu thought as those bizarre Innate Talents and Unique Abilities of this silver-haired middle-aged man made his pupils contract.

 

“Ancient Wisdom… memories of previous lives?” Yu Zi Yu muttered to himself, his eyes narrowing slightly.

 

Past lives and present lives should be unrelated. However, if certain circumstances allow someone to recall memories from their past life, it could be called Ancient Wisdom.

 

The man was born with memories and knowledge of his previous life(s). That would explain why this individual possessed such a wide range of abilities despite the fact that the resurgence of Spiritual Energy happened just recently.

 

Among these abilities, several caught Yu Zi Yu’s attention.

 

For instance, the Innate Sword Qi and the External Core mentioned in the Art of Alchemy.

 

According to Yu Zi Yu’s analytical experience, if this External Core, referred to as the ‘Innate Sword Pill,’ could be combined with the Innate Sword Qi upon perfection, it might possibly lead to the birth of an exceptional Sword Cultivator that could shake the world. 

 

In light of this, this External Core might very well be the ace in the hole for the silver-haired middle-aged man.

 

Thinking this way, Yu Zi Yu could not help but chuckle softly.

 

This was purely his personal speculation, and no one could ascertain if he was right or wrong.

 

However, one thing was certain.

 

[If it’s really the case, then the ‘Spiritual Energy Tide’ theory might be worth paying attention to. Perhaps, just as the ‘Spiritual Energy Tide’ theory suggests, there was a splendid civilization of Immortals and Gods in the past, but because of the advent of the Era of Cultivation Decline, even this most brilliant civilization was buried. This aligns with what the silver-haired middle-aged man said, ‘At the end of the era, all things return to chaos.]

 

[However, regardless of being buried or not, those mighty beings would certainly be unwilling to meet their end. They would undoubtedly employ various methods to avoid the ‘Era of Cultivation Decline.’ And this silver-haired middle-aged person could be the contingency left behind by a certain Sword Cultivator from the previous era. He had been waiting for this new era.]

 

As thoughts flashed in his mind one after another, Yu Zi Yu became a bit more confident about his speculations.

 

If he was in their shoes, he would not simply wait to die. Innate Talents like Ancient Wisdom might just be a small hiccup. However, there could be worse things out there, like the remnants of those real scary beings lingering till this era.

 

However, after some consideration, Yu Zi Yu felt it was improbable. Though the end of an era might be fearsome, if one could avoid it just by hiding, the brilliant Era of Gods and Immortals would not have been buried.

 

In principle, even Innate Talents like Ancient Wisdom should not have appeared.

 

[Could it be that destiny and fate are no match for Divine Abilities?] Shaking his head helplessly, Yu Zi Yu found himself puzzled.

 

However, there was one thing that was good about Yu Zi Yu, which was if he could not comprehend something, he would not dwell on it. Instead, he would focus on something else more important.

 

His gaze shifted and looked at Qing Er, before he asked, “Qing Er, you seem to know him?”

 

“Yeah.” Nodding, Qing Er, who was nearby, approached slowly and replied in a low voice, “He’s the Teacher from the Eastern Theater Command – the Superhuman Theater Command I told you about. He’s also one of the ten premiers of China, known as one of the Twin Titans of China.”

 

“Oh, is that so?” Hearing Qing Er’s account, Yu Zi Yu could not help but be surprised. He had not expected that this individual held such a position within China.

 

However, after a moment, as if he had realized something, Yu Zi Yu suddenly suggested, “Qing Er, no one knows about his demise here. You should return to Eastern Theater Command as soon as possible.”

 

“Master, why?” Qing Er was a little puzzled.

 

“This guy has too many secrets. I believe he has left behind some contingency plans or other things in certain places. Seize this opportunity to investigate. Moreover, as you mentioned earlier, you are one of his eight Direct Disciples. I need you to temporarily stabilize things in China using ‘Ling Er’s’ identity.”

 

Speaking patiently, Yu Zi Yu’s eyes flickered with determination.

 

Setting aside everything else, the secrets this man harbored were worth investigating. Moreover, what was more important was that the second wave of the Spiritual Energy Tide was about to arrive. If Qing Er managed to stabilize things within China during this period, when the tide arrives, China would have its hands full.

 

At that point, not to mention provoking Misty Mountains, they might not even be able to ensure their own safety.

 

Others might not know, but how could Yu Zi Yu not be aware?

 

The day the second wave of the Spiritual Energy Tide arrives would be the world’s most splendid moment.

 

Of course, Humanity would also usher its darkest era.

 

Entities would sprung up, who would strongly convey to them that so-called ‘nuclear weapons’ were not invincible. Similar to the current Yu Zi Yu. If he were to use his Divine Abilities… he would not fear those nuclear weapons.

 

Thinking this way, a faint smile tugged at the corners of Yu Zi Yu’s lips. After a moment, noticing that Qing Er had already left, Yu Zi Yu nodded his appreciation.

 

[That girl is really reliable. Unfortunately, she would miss this opportunity. Maybe I can try to seize some opportunities for her in the future.]

 

At this moment, as if realizing something, Yu Zi Yu’s gaze shifted and landed on the most significant gain from this encounter, a method that could withstand nuclear weapons without fear.

 

Minor Divine Ability – Crystallization (Entry Level) – By harnessing the power of the earth, one can crystallize parts or even the entirety of the body. This crystal-like body can significantly enhance one’s defenses. If mastered, one can truly become indestructible. It would be next to impossible to destroy its user, unless attacked by another Divine Ability.

 

Though it was a Minor Divine Ability, its description already revealed its might.

 

Yu Zi Yu’s tree body was already formidable. Not only was he invincible within the same Tier, but even when he was still Tier-1 Transcendent, he was able to suppress a Tier-2 Transcendent who had appeared in his territory using the overwhelming power of his tree body.

 

If such a fearsome body were to enhance its defense even further, its terror could be easily imagined.

 

Other things aside, Yu Zi Yu had some confidence in withstanding nuclear weapons using his physical body. Of course, while he could withstand them, Yu Zi Yu would not be foolish enough to actually test it. After all, it was one thing to withstand, but if he could not, he would be in big trouble.

 

One could say that Yu Zi Yu was somewhat confident now. 

 

Moreover, he was not crazy; why would he use nuclear weapons just to withstand them?

 

With his current abilities, he had many other methods to deal with nuclear weapons besides direct confrontation.

 

Of course, before sorting out these methods, Yu Zi Yu would not forget the creatures fighting on his behalf.
