Penglai Cave Sky, Guo Jia’s hut.
Guo Jia was seriously injured after rolling down the mountain road that day. Fortunately, Guo Jia had the mark left by the second elder on his body, and he was rescued in time. However, due to his ability, Guo Jia had been unconscious in bed for three days and two nights, with no sign of waking up.
On the night of the third day, there were only a few minutes left in the 71 hours, 59 minutes and 36 seconds of sleep. At this moment, an adult man's voice rang in Guo Jia's ears: "Wake up! Silly boy."
However, Guo Jia couldn't wake up at all. After 71 hours, 59 minutes and 36 seconds of sleeping time, Guo Jia slowly woke up. When he opened his eyes and saw the familiar blue light and shadow, he couldn't help but cheered: "Dad?"
"Yo! You kid still remembers me." The blue light said in surprise.
"Of course, I remembered everything. Dad, you saved me when I was about to drown!" Guo Jia said gratefully.
The blue light of the middle-aged man smiled happily and said in a gentle tone: "It's good to think about it. It just saves time."
Guo Jia keenly noticed something was wrong and said somewhat unexpectedly: "Dad, why are you speaking so softly today?"
"Because tonight may be our last conversation, and I want to satisfy my wish to be a loving father." Guo Xiaoren said with a sad expression.
Guo Jia felt her chest tighten suddenly, and she suddenly felt like she was suffocating. Although they have only met twice, Guo Jia will have an indescribable feeling of intimacy every time they see each other. Who would have thought that this second meeting would already be a farewell?
"Time is running out, let me explain clearly what I need to explain. Do you want to know your life experience?" Guo Xiaoren asked.
"Why can't even the omniscient system find out my life experience? Did you hide it?" Guo Jia asked his biggest question over the years.
"Yes, I did it." Guo Xiaoren admitted.
"Why?" Guo Jia said emotionally.
"I don't want you to suffer. I hope you can live in peace." Guo Xiaoren replied.
"So?" Guo Jia said with a bitter smile.
"Do you want to know the whole truth or half of it?" Guo Xiaoren asked tentatively.
"Normal people would want to know everything, right?" Guo Jia asked.
"But I only want you to know half of it." Guo Xiaoren said in a pleading tone.
Guo Jia fell into silence. After a long time, he made the most difficult decision: "Then let's take half."
After hearing this, Guo Xiaoren was stunned for a moment, then said with a happy face, "Thank you."
Guo Jiaqiang forced a smile and pretended to be free and easy: "Then dad, tell me everything you want to tell me."
"Well. Let's start with Penglai Cave Sky. Twenty-seven years ago, my classmates and I took a boat trip to Taiwan. We encountered a storm on the way. The boat sank and I fell into the sea. It was night and the water was too It was cold, and there was nothing I could do even if I knew how to swim. I originally thought I was dead, but the vicissitudes of life in Penglai Cave Sky saved me and brought me back to Penglai Cave Sky. I thought I was dreaming like you at the time, but only later did I I found out that all this was true." Guo Xiaoren recalled.
"The vicissitudes of life tree spirit saved you?" Guo Jia asked doubtfully.
"It's strange, I'm not the only one who fell into the water." Guo Xiaoren sneered.
"Then why?" Guo Jia asked puzzled.
"Because its purpose is not pure. It only saved me because of profit. I didn't understand the specific reason at first. Later I found out that because I have spiritual roots and can practice magic, the Vicissitudes Tree Spirit saved me." Me. You have seen the Second Elder’s magic before, it’s not a superpower.” Guo Xiaoren said.
"Then what does your spiritual root have to do with it?" Guo Jia asked.
"Xu Fu's body is dying. The Vicissitudes Tree needs a new human torso. With my spiritual roots, I am the best substitute." Guo Xiaoren replied.
"So, it brought me to Penglai Cave Heaven because I have spiritual roots and wants to rob my body?" Guo Jia said in horror.
"No, no, no, you don't have spiritual roots, and this thing is not hereditary. It caught you simply because it discovered my existence." Guo Xiaoren waved his hand.
"This." Guo Jia said a little speechlessly.
"Don't think that you will be safe this way. According to my inference, Xu Fu's physical body can't last much longer. Maybe he will use you to make up for it in the end." Guo Xiaoren said alarmingly.
"Don't the second elders have spiritual roots? Why do you want to use me as a reference?" Guo Jia said unconvinced.
"You are overthinking. The vicissitudes tree spirit should not be too kind to the residents here. If it wants to attack, it will definitely pick an outsider like you." Guo Xiaoren corrected.
"Then what should I do next?" Guo Jia asked.
"Of course you have to find a way out. In order to delay the aging of the physical body, the vicissitudes tree spirit has entered a dormant state. You must escape from this place before it wakes up." Guo Xiaoren replied.
"How long will it take for it to wake up?" Guo Jia asked.
"It is said that two Jiazi are needed." Guo Xiaoren replied.
"Don't panic, it's still early~" Guo Jia said assuredly.
"Huh? Do you think it's easy to get out? Do you know how long I was trapped here before I got out?" Guo Xiaoren said angrily.
"How long?" Guo Jia asked.
"213 years." Guo Xiaoren said.
"Fuck." Guo Jia said in shock.
"In order to get out from here, I studied the entire Penglai Cave from the inside out. There are only two ways to get out from here: the first is to break the boundary wall of Penglai Cave, but I don't recommend this method. , if the boundary wall is broken, sea water will flow in, and the residents in the cave will suffer; the second method is to control the Xuan Ni Formation and open a channel to the outside world, but to control the Xuan Ni Formation, you must have magic skills or a space ability user , you have no hope." Guo Xiaoren said.
"So, I can only use the first method?" Guo Jia asked.
"In order to replenish aquatic products, Penglai Cave Heaven will open a channel to the outside world every twenty years. You can..." Guo Xiaoren was interrupted by Guo Jia before he could finish his words: "Why are you always twenty? It’s been so long! When I get out, won’t everyone I know outside be dead?”
"Oh, I forgot to explain to you that one day in Penglai Cave is equal to one hour in the outside world. Even if you don't go out to the outside world a hundred years later, it will only be four years." Guo Xiaoren consoled him.
However, this comfort only made Guo Jia's mood sink even more, as if he had been sentenced to life imprisonment by the court.
"But no matter which method you use, you must have strength as a guarantee. You have also seen the new functions of the omniscient system. With your current mental strength, you simply cannot exert the power of the omniscient system. Don't forget, this is the deep sea. If you want to resist the high pressure in the deep sea and swim ashore, it is impossible with your current level of brain development." Guo Xiaoren said.
"What is the new function? I haven't used it yet." Guo Jia asked.
"Don't you have three almighty synchronization stage options? The first stage allows you to imitate any C brain to develop superpowers, the second stage allows you to imitate any B brain to develop superpowers, and the third stage allows you to imitate any B brain to develop superpowers. A-level brains develop superpowers. But don’t get too happy too soon. The abilities you imitate are equivalent to copycat versions. They can only exert 70% of the power of the original version at most, and the higher the level of abilities, the greater the consumption of mental energy. In your current state, you can only support the third stage for 3 seconds or the second stage for 30 seconds or the third stage for 300 seconds. Once you run out of mental power while maintaining almighty synchronization, you will have to sleep for at least three days. ." Guo Xiaoren explained.
"Then if I want to go out, what level of brain development must I reach, level 6?" Guo Jia asked.
"It must be at least level 7." Guo Xiaoren said in a calm tone.
Guo Jia was dumbfounded.
"Don't panic. Think about it, you have eaten the longevity fruit and your lifespan has been sixty times longer than before. That means your adolescence has also been extended sixty times. People with abilities can only develop their abilities before they are twenty-five years old. The fastest period will decline sharply once you pass the age of thirty, and you are only nineteen years old now, which means that your natural growth rate of brain development will not decline within 350 years. I was more qualified than you back then. Damn, I'm already in the middle of level 7 after two hundred years. If you say you can reach level 7 within a hundred years," Guo Xiaoren continued to comfort him.
"You mean, I have to stay in this hellish place for at least a hundred years?" Guo Jia said in fear.
"Probably." Guo Xiaoren nodded.
"Isn't there any shortcut?" Guo Jia asked.
"Yes, I have already used it." Guo Xiaoren said.
"Huh? How did you get out?" Guo Jia asked.
"I originally planned to break through when the external channel was opened, but then I fell in love with your mother. Your mother is a space user, and she directly used her ability to take me away." Guo Xiaoren replied.
"Then, is there anything else..." Before Guo Jia finished asking, Guo Xiaoren interrupted: "Don't think about it, it's not that easy to find people with S level abilities. You didn't know this after I took your mother away. How angry are the people in the cave? Your mother used to be called a saint here, and she was responsible for guarding the Xuan Ni Formation."
"So, so, I..." Guo Jia was a little incoherent.
"So just wait for about a hundred years and go out when you are strong enough, so as not to scare others. The three elders in the village are not easy to mess with." Guo Xiaoren said seriously.
After hearing this, Guo Jia's eyes suddenly darkened and he fainted. It was really difficult for him to accept such a heavy blow.
