Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Hearing He Busi's words, Chen Tian ignored him, his gaze fixed on the battered Mingluo Boat in his hands. After examining it, he looked up and said, "Brother He, if you trust me, would you allow me to repair it?"

"What?" He Busi was initially stunned by Chen Tian's words, but quickly became ecstatic, his gloomy expression vanishing as he eagerly asked, "Is that true? Brother Yang, can you really fix it?"

He Busi was already tired of this ghostly place and just wanted to leave as soon as possible. If the Mingluo Boat could be repaired, its incredible speed would greatly shorten their journey out.

Thinking of this, He Busi was filled with excitement!

"I can't guarantee anything, I can only say I'll do my best."

Unlike He Busi, Chen Tian's expression remained calm. After replying humbly, he squatted down on the spot, his eyes fixed on the Mingluo Boat, as if pondering something.

Seeing this, He Busi fell silent and turned around, cautiously scanning the surroundings, as if guarding Chen Tian.

Although they had escaped Lu Jing's crisis, the Demon Ruins were full of dangers. Countless powerful demonic beasts from ancient times were hidden within the thick, dark void. Therefore, until Chen Tian finished repairing the Mingluo Boat, He Busi had to be careful and vigilant, in case of sudden attacks!

After scrutinizing the area, He Busi's tense nerves relaxed, as the surroundings were unusually quiet, as if no demonic beasts were present.

Seeing this situation, He Busi suddenly thought of something and said to Chen Tian, "By the way, Brother Yang, I've had a question weighing on my mind for a long time, and I can't find the answer. Can you help me analyze it?"

"What is it?" Chen Tian asked without looking up, his tone indifferent.

He Busi pondered for a moment, then frowned and said, "It's about that male corpse from earlier, do you remember? How did he wake up, and why did he call himself Hou Zhen? These questions have been bothering me for a long time, and I can't figure them out!"

"Oh, you're talking about that. I have a theory about it, but I don't know if it's correct." Hearing He Busi's question, Chen Tian stood up and said with a smile.

"Oh, really?" He Busi's eyes gleamed with excitement as he eagerly said, "Brother Yang, please tell me, I'm all ears."

Chen Tian put down the Mingluo Boat for the moment and smiled, "Actually, at first, I was just as confused as you, wondering why the male corpse suddenly woke up. It wasn't until he called himself Hou Zhen that I suddenly thought, could it be that the power generated by Hou Zhen's self-destruction caused him to revive?"

"Oh?" Hearing Chen Tian's theory, He Busi immediately exclaimed in surprise. After thinking carefully, he nodded slightly and said, "That's possible. I remember now, the power generated by Hou Zhen's self-destruction all rushed into the male corpse's body."

He Busi remembered very clearly that when Hou Zhen self-destructed, they and Lu Jing were helpless and just waiting to die. But suddenly, at that moment, the enormous energy generated by Hou Zhen's self-destruction all rushed into the male corpse's body, and then the male corpse woke up.

Therefore, hearing Chen Tian's theory, He Busi became more and more convinced that it was the enormous power generated by Hou Zhen's self-destruction that caused the male corpse to wake up.

"But…"

He Busi seemed to think of something again and continued to ask Chen Tian, "If that's the case, then why did the male corpse call himself Hou Zhen after waking up? How do you explain that?"

"That's even simpler." Chen Tian said with a smile, "According to my speculation, the male corpse has been sleeping here for hundreds of thousands of years and should have already lost his original memories. And just at that moment, the power of Hou Zhen's self-destruction rushed in.

Because Hou Zhen was filled with great resentment before his death, his energy should also contain a trace of his life's will. The male corpse may have read Hou Zhen's will and mistakenly thought he was Hou Zhen in a daze."

"That's right, why didn't I think of that!"

After all, Hou Zhen had perished with the self-destruction, so his will could only exist for a very short time before dissipating, and after that, the male corpse fell back into a state of confusion, which is why he suddenly went crazy.

In an instant, all kinds of doubts were cleared up.

At this time, He Busi was not only surprised, but also more fearful of Chen Tian.

He realized that the more he understood Chen Tian, the more terrifying he found him.

It seemed that Chen Tian was always unpredictable.

This also made He Busi immediately determined to befriend Chen Tian and never anger him!

Thinking of this, He Busi gave Chen Tian a smile, flattering him: "Brother Yang is so intelligent. Your words have benefited me immensely. Please take care of me in the future."

Obviously, He Busi was trying to show his goodwill to Chen Tian and win him over.

However, after hearing this, a strange smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Chen Tian's mouth!
