Were the ignorant fearless?
Tang Ling did not think so. He had actually thought of the problem that the illusory head raised. If the solution was feasible, the illusory head would have done it himself. Why would it wait for him? A mere pre-Purple Moon Warrior was weaker than a Sunlight Nether Fish.
However, the key point was the reason why the illusory head objected. It was not because the Sunlight Nether Fish was not a good vessel, but because it was impossible.
The reason why Tang Ling brought up the matter was to test whether the Sunlight Nether Fish could be used as a vessel or not. If it was possible, it was not impossible.
Therefore, after the illusory head mocked him, Tang Ling smiled and said, "More importantly, the Sunlight Nether Fish can be a vessel, right?"
"Yes." The illusory head did not deny it. It then said, "But don't even think about it. If that's the only solution, I can announce that our discussion has fallen apart. "
"No, at least tell me why it's just wishful thinking. I've been waiting for a long time, so an explanation won't hurt, right? "Tang Ling was not intimidated by the words' falling apart '. He had to get an explanation.
"Explanation? It's simple. If it wants to be a vessel for my rebirth, its will must fully accept this. However, if my Life Seed is placed in front of it, its only will will be to devour it instead of accepting it.
"Besides, even if it accepts it, the safety can't be guaranteed. Even the safety could not be guaranteed. Only humans were special in this aspect. Only humans could accept it without any changes in the future. Other than that, no other vicious beast can do it.
"Lastly, how can I subdue a Sunlight Nether Fish? Don't count on me. My remaining energy will be used to protect my Life Crystal. Not a single bit will be wasted. Now that I've given it an explanation, what do humans, who are born with innate wisdom that others envy, think? "The illusory head might have given an explanation, but its tone was mocking.
Tang Ling slightly frowned. He had thought of the first point a long time ago. Rebirth through the Life Seed must have a huge limit. Otherwise, the illusory head would not have tried so hard to get his permission.
Thirdly, even if he did not meet the illusory head, Tang Ling had already thought of a solution.
However, he did not understand the second point. What did it mean by humans would not change after accepting it? How should he explain that?
"Mr. Skull, are you sure that's all? What if I can solve it? "Tang Ling might have doubts in his heart, but he purposely spoke to tempt the skull.
"You can?" The skull's voice sounded a little shrill. Without a doubt, being reborn was what it cared about the most. Even if it did not believe that Tang Ling could do it, it would still compromise to hope.
"The only problem now is that I have to know what the second point is," Tang Ling said seriously.
The illusory skull hesitated for a moment, but still said, "It's simple. If you accept and become my vessel, before I'm truly reborn, nothing will change."
"But any Vicious Beast that becomes my vessel will change. What exactly this change was was determined by the different types of Ferocious Beasts. But there was one similarity — weakening. Simply put, if a Sunlight Netherworld Fish becomes my vessel, then it is very likely that it will degenerate into a fish egg. Who knows? "This made the skull very annoyed.
"How interesting." Tang Ling raised a curious brow. Such a thing was absolutely unimaginable in the old civilization. It could not be explained with science. How? Rejuvenation?
As a matter of fact, it was not entirely impossible! The life crystal must contain powerful energy and vitality. After absorbing it, the life crystal could instantly restore the lifeform to its most powerful form.
Similar to a human's infancy, it was undoubtedly the most vigorous period of growth and vitality. It was also the easiest time for wounds to recover.
"Interesting? What do you think is interesting? " The skull seemed to think that it was being mocked, so it floated down and stuck its face close to Tang Ling to ask.
"This is the true rebirth. How can it be boring?" Tang Ling was not afraid at all. He already had an idea in his heart. He looked straight into the skull's eyes and said, "You're just worried that you won't be able to survive after being weakened. What's the point of rebirth then?"
"But if I tell you that I can't solve all three of the problems, do you think the deal will go on?" Tang Ling was not joking at all. He became serious and sincere.
His serious and sincere expression made the illusory skull involuntarily ask, "Tell me about it."
"The Sunlight Nether Fish is a Level 3 vicious beast, so it has a certain level of intellect. That's true, but the level of intellect can only be judged as having a basic level of consciousness. It's still far away from the intellect of being able to think and think, am I right?
"If that's the case, its resistance comes from its instinct. It's its instinct that is supporting its will. Such will can be erased. "Tang Ling was not joking.
"Hmm." Even though Tang Ling's words sounded a little complicated, the skull did not object because a Level 3 vicious beast did not possess the intellect of a human. If a comparison had to be made, it could be said that the Sunlight Nether Fish was smarter than the gorillas of the old civilization.
Since its resistance did not come from thinking, Tang Ling did have a way to erase its will to resist.
However, these were things that the skull shadow could not do in its current state.
"I have a way to create an extreme environment to erase its will. For example, under intense pressure, I can hint repeatedly. It'll take time, but I'll definitely succeed. "Tang Ling's skull did not object as it seized the opportunity to continue.
"Let me skip the second point and talk about the third point. The Sunlight Nether Fish might be a Level 3 vicious beast and I'm not strong enough to capture it, but Mr. Skull, humans have dominated the world for a long time. Is it because of their own strength? No, it's because of all kinds of tools and teamwork. Do you still think that I can't solve the third point? "Tang Ling retorted with a question.
"Alright, what's the second point?" the skull continued to ask.
"The key to the second point is actually not me. Before I talk about this, do you have a way to restore me to my normal state? Even if I'm unscathed, I'm not a threat to you, am I? "Tang Ling rolled his eyes, but he was not in a hurry to answer.
As a matter of fact, he had cell repair serums to heal himself, but how much would he waste to deal with such a large amount of damage? He had to save them.
On top of that, he had to maintain his best form since he was in a battle.
"Hmph." The skull chuckled mysteriously and said, "You're right in the middle of a treasure trove, yet you don't know what's inside."
The moment its voice subsided, the viscous blood floated to Tang Ling. The skull somehow condensed the viscous blood into a paste and poured it into Tang Ling's mouth.
When the paste entered his body, his body felt numb and itchy. His wounds were recovering 10 times faster than the cell repair serums. No, it was not just recovering, but it was also injecting a new life force into his body.
The little seed seemed to have sensed the new life force. It rumbled in Tang Ling's heart for a few times, but there was a force that kept him and the little seed apart. The little seed could not get anything from the paste, so it went back to sleep with a dissatisfied mood.
"The war seed in your heart is interesting," said the skull in a strange tone.
Tang Ling's heart raced. Is this the greatest effect of the Sea God's Gift? If that's the case, it's precious!
Not only can it heal his wounds, but it can also heal internal injuries and improve his body!
One thing worth noting was that there was a limit to the improvement of the human body. A rank 1 Purple Moon Warrior was the publicly acknowledged limit. At this rank, the breakthrough was not about the body but something else, such as talent abilities.
However, it was undeniable that the body was the foundation of everything. If the body could break through the limit and improve further …
Tang Ling had to admit that he was overthinking. He had already thought of the limit improvement from the little paste. Theoretically speaking, he was still a Purple Moon Warrior, so his body still had room for improvement.
However, his thoughts were not completely baseless because Tang Ling's accumulation was solid and his body was made of steel, so the room for improvement was close to zero.
The skull was amused when it saw Tang Ling's blank expression, so it simply said, "I've just processed it a little, so I didn't bring out the full potential of the energy blood. The wisdom of humans is worthy of respect. At least, the energy blood that comes from living beings like us can only be brought out to its full potential in the hands of humans. "
Tang Ling had recovered half of his strength in a short period of time. When the skull spoke, he could barely stand up.
Of course, he knew what the skull was talking about. The martial arts fanatic had told him that whether it was the Tear of the Sea God or the Gift of the Sea God, without a special formula, the effects could not be brought out.
The skull must be talking about the formula, but it was not the time to talk about it.
However, now was not the time to talk about this. If he wanted to get the treasure, he had to pay the price.
"Let's continue our conversation, Mr. Skull. The second point that worries me the most is that after the life crystal is implanted, there will be a complete rebirth process. What if I have to protect you during this stage? This is the best solution that I can think of, and it's also my utmost sincerity. If you don't agree to this condition, our negotiation will fall apart.
"So, the key to the second point lies with you, not with me." Tang Ling stretched his limbs and bowed at the mirage of the head after he finished speaking.
"Protect me?" The illusory head raised its brows again as it sized Tang Ling up from head to toe. After being stunned for six to seven seconds, it let out a thunderous laugh.
Its laughter was so exaggerated that it could not control its body completely. Even the condensed phantom began to tremble slightly.
In order to express its emotions, it even rolled back and forth, which made it look rather strange.
After all, it was a huge skull that was rolling back and forth.
Even so, Tang Ling maintained his composure with his hands behind his back like a soldier standing in the standard military posture.
"Why should I?" After the exaggerated laughter, the skull asked again. As a matter of fact, since Tang Ling started the negotiation, it had lost count of the number of times it had said the same thing.
"You've been observing me for a long time. Is there still any secret in my body, including my potential?" Tang Ling tilted his head and asked the phantom skull.
The skull moved its eyes cunningly, but it did not answer Tang Ling's question.
It was within Tang Ling's expectations. If Tang Ling did not have something special about him, the skull would not have negotiated with him for so long. The exaggerated laughter was more like a performance to prepare for the crucial negotiation that was about to happen.
"On top of that, this island has existed for a long time. I don't believe there are only a handful of people who have made it to this island. Are some of them purposely let in? "Tang Ling asked another question.
The illusory skull was noncommittal.
"However, is there anyone like me who can break through into the Blood Pool with such strength? Besides, I've just had a battle, so I shouldn't be able to hide it, right? There must be some kind of requirement for the person to be chosen, and the person must fit the requirement. " Tang Ling smiled confidently and arrogantly. "As a matter of fact, Mr. Skull, you're the lucky one to have met me, aren't you?"
"You sure talk big." The skull looked at Tang Ling with a mocking gaze, but there was no anger in its tone.
"You have a way, don't you? Restrain me after we've come to an agreement! You've been telling me that if I'm willing to be the vessel of reincarnation, all I have to do is let go of my resistance and accept it. But what if I go back on my word, or if I play some tricks in the future? " Tang Ling tilted his head and sized up the skull again. "I don't think the limiting factor is the life crystal. If it's the limiting factor, it might end up in mutual destruction, which isn't what I want to see. There must be a way. "
"You're right. I do have a way. I can condense an energy bomb and place it in the weakest part of the brain. The fuse to detonate the bomb is a strand of my spirit.
Otherwise, I can't hope to remove the energy bomb since energy is formless. Humans still can't remove it unscathed. Moreover, if I had the time, I would have detonated the sonic bomb a long time ago.
"That's the way. The question is, do you dare to accept it?" The illusory head sounded serious as it stared at Tang Ling as if it was trying to find the answer from Tang Ling's expression.
"Oh? Why wouldn't I dare? After all, we've come to an agreement and we're dependent on each other. If I do my best to fulfill my promise, what reason do you have to kill me? "Tang Ling was still smiling." But there has to be an end to everything. "
"An end to everything? It's simple. I can feel it too! As long as it's energy, there will be depletion. This energy bomb can only maintain its stable structure for 50 years. 50 years is enough for me to recover all my memories and be reborn. The premise is, do you believe me? "The skull sized Tang Ling up from head to toe, just like how it did at the beginning.
Tang Ling did not hesitate anymore. "Of course, I believe you. I accept it completely. The question is, do you accept everything I've said? "
Tang Ling's answer stunned the skull for a moment. It did not expect Tang Ling to have no doubts about it at all.
"Every deal has risks and a price to pay. If you agree to my terms, you've already paid the price, which is this body. Plus, you've put your trust in me and paid the risk. I'm a fair person, so I have to bear the consequences, don't I? " Isn't it? "Tang Ling stretched his neck and put his hands in his pockets.
Since he had said his piece, all he had to do was wait for the skull's final decision.
"Within fifty years, I request that you provide me with sufficient resources for my growth," the illusory skull suddenly said.
"With my body as a guarantee, I think I can do that." Tang Ling answered without a second thought. From the very beginning, he knew there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Since he had gotten such a huge amount of wealth out of nowhere, he could not keep it all to himself. The skull was willing to let him go because it considered its own growth.
"Hmph, you're smart. You don't have to think too much when talking to smart people. "
"You're smart too, Mr. Skull."
"On top of that, I'll need primordial blood to feed me every six months. You've thought it through. "The skull suddenly added another condition.
"What's primordial blood?" Tang Ling really did not know what it was.
"It's the blood from the spine. It's specially processed to extract the essence. I don't want to hide it either. Every time I kick it, it affects my body, and I'll need resources that are rich in vitality to compensate for it. I won't agree to this condition. "The skull blinked and looked at Tang Ling seriously.
"Why won't you agree to it?" Tang Ling did not say yes or no. Instead, he asked a strange question.
"It's simple. The Perfect Genetic Chain really exists in this world! Since I've seen it, why would I miss it? Otherwise, why do you think I've been talking nonsense with you for so long? "The skull finally spoke the truth.
As expected, it saw through the Perfect Genetic Chain!
Although Tang Ling was mentally prepared, when the skull really said it out loud, he still felt an unknown lingering fear in his heart. He did not know what kind of creature the skull was. If it could see through the Perfect Genetic Chain, what about other creatures of the same level?
The secret of the Perfect Genetic Chain would not be able to be hidden in the end, would it?
However, Tang Ling did not plan to show his worries at the moment. He still had one last important question to negotiate with the skull.
