Lightning King pushed open the door of the ward and saw the boy, dressed in patients’ garb, standing by the landing window, looking silently at the bustling city.

He did look like a formidable character from the back.

“Great-Grandma, the past me is dead,” Li Xianyu slowly turned around. “Now, I am…”

Big eyes stared at small eyes.

A few seconds later, Lightning King said, “Great-Grandma?”

Li Xianyu was speechless.

Why didn’t Great-Grandma come in with Lightning King? At this time, shouldn’t Great-grandma be running to him in tears, put her arms around him and keep calling him his name? Shouldn’t she be patting his head and giving him kisses?

Did I waste my 30 minutes posing?

Lightning King was understanding and said, “Let’s do that again. Treat it as when I first come in. When I open the door, we’ll forget about the awkward scene together.”

Li Xianyu burst into tears, “Thank you, Lightning King.”

He retreated, opened the door again, and Lightning King went straight to the subject, “Have you awakened? Death is the most successful way of awakening, but most people dare not do so. If they had to choose between awakening and death, they would rather live.”

This conclusion was obvious. When the boy turned around, Lightning King saw his well-proportioned chest muscles in his deliberately open neckline.

The first time he saw Li Xianyu, his figure could only be said to be not greasy, which was not very different from that of normal people.

But now, his figure ratio was perfect, and the standard of demon descendants. When the dormant genes in their body were awakened, the demon descendants will undergo a transformation.

Li Xianyu awkwardly pulled up the neckline of his shirt and nodded.

“Do you feel anything now?” Lightning King added. “It’s not just the body, like what you did see during your coma?”

Li Xianyu replied, “I feel really good, I am very confident now. I can pay for the daily consumption of Black Water Spirit Beads now, I am not afraid of kidney deficiency. A real man, that’s how confident he is.”

Lightning King frowned and said, “Anything else?”

Li Xianyu scratched his head and answered, “No.”

Lightning King was silent for a moment, stopped asking, and said, “What do you want to ask me?”

“My… where is my great-grandma?” According to the scene he saw in his dream, if it was true, his death would definitely trigger Great-Grandma’s rampage.

Although going on a furious rampage for her great-grandson was very badass, but it seems that Great-Grandma would have to pay an irreparable price.

This was not what Li Xianyu wanted to see.

Li Xianyu was embarrassed when Lightning King entered but at the same time, his heart turned cold.

He was eager to ask how was Great-Grandma, but it was reasonable to say that he did not know Great-Grandma’s heroic vow then. Thus, he didn’t find an opportunity to ask until now.

Lightning King said, “Your great-grandma is playing games upstairs.”

Lightning King’s answer came as a surprise to him.

“Huh?” Li Xianyu was stunned. “Are you sure? Her grandson died once, and she’s still in the mood to play games? Am I not her own grandson?”

Lightning King was pleased to say, “It seems that you already know the fact that you have died once. Fortunately, no one can have a second life. You are a special case.”

“Why did I come back to life?” Li Xianyu asked.

Lightning King stared at him with a burning gaze. “If even you don’t know, we clearly don’t know, but I guess it has something to do with your father. Everyone who can step out of the Great Deities Palace will receive an unimaginable gain. There are examples of this in the demon descendants community, such as the Demonic Priest Wangchen, which happened 80 years ago.”

“That’s why your father was killed. He refused to share the harvest with the demon descendants community, even stingy enough not to let people look at it. He didn’t mention a word, and this led everyone to think that he must have gained something.”

“Over the years, we have analyzed that the reason why your father never mentioned it and vowed not to compromise was that it could not be made known to the public at all.”

“With your father’s death and the war spirit sealing herself away, the mysterious treasure of the Great Deities Palace has become an unsolved mystery. You came back to life last night, which is the first time it revealed a clue. But even so, it is still shrouded in mystery.”

Li Xianyu frowned and said, “So what you mean is, the treasure is in me?”

Lightning King replied, “Actually, the treasure is not in you. We tested your blood and DNA, and carried out type-B ultrasound scans, color ultrasounds, three-dimensional color ultrasound. A thorough examination of your body shows nothing special, but a slight varicocele of the left varicocele and severe kidney deficiency.”

“I can understand the kidney deficiency. What the hell is a left varicocele?”

“You are too repressed.” Lightning King patted him on the shoulder. “Don’t worry, the incidence among young men is very high. It is a very common disease, as common as hemorrhoids. There is no problem, but it can lead to sterility.” Lightning King said in sympathy, “Your adolescence must have been very difficult. No wonder you’re so wild.”

Li Xianyu said, “Don’t say this anymore, boss. Say something else.”

Lightning King nodded. “The second time I took you for a comprehensive examination, I found that all the symptoms had disappeared, that your body was free of any problems, and that there were no defects at all. At this point, we detected strong activity and self-healing ability in your cells, which can repair all wounds in your body. But the effect disappears in a few seconds, and the cells are once again the same as ordinary people.”

“It is difficult to explain this phenomenon. It is a bit like some kind of self-healing ability, but it is completely different. No self-healing ability can be compared with it, and it is more stable than it. The treasure of the Great Deities Palace may or may not be on you. We have not seen that thing, and we do not even know how it exists.”

“By the way, your ability is reinforcement, right?” Lightning King asked casually.

Li Xianyu’s heart jolted, replied with a “Mm” and then diverted the topic. “Is my great-grandma alright? She must have been very sad at that time.”

He dared not say that he saw fragments of the past in his dream, and now he does not trust anyone but his great-grandma. He trusted Grandma so much, but that brat was actually playing a game?

“She almost went into a rampage,” Lightning King said. “If you hadn’t come back to life in time, San Wu would have died in the line of duty. Baoze would be the first to bear the brunt, and it would have set off huge waves in the whole demon descendants community.”

Li Xianyu asked, “Who killed me?” He paused and said deliberately, “Why did you say huge waves would be set off in the whole demon descendants community? Where does my great-grandma hail from? Why is everyone so terrified of her? What is an Unparalleled War Spirit? Shouldn’t War Spirits be spirits? But she can eat and sleep. Her body is warm and she seems to be no different from ordinary people.”

“To answer your first question…” Lightning King said.
