C597 This Is Not Scientific!(last part)

The results of this experiment were pretty much the same as before. The power, defense, and energy duration didn't show much change. But let's not forget, this time we used a Heavenly Essence Stone, whereas last time it was a spirit crystal! Even though it was a top-grade Heavenly Essence Stone and a lower-grade spirit crystal, the difference between them is significant since they're not even in the same league. If we really compare, the energy contained in two top-grade Heavenly Essence Stones should be about the same as one lower-grade spirit crystal. This means that Woo Zhengyang's modifications have slowed the energy consumption of the Invincible Cannon Car by half, which is incredibly powerful.

When the experiment ended, Lee Yuanye was so excited he almost jumped up, exclaiming, "Man, you're a genius! With this, getting through the Myriad Desolate Mountain is going to be a piece of cake, haha..."

"Let's hope so, but don't celebrate too soon. According to you, the Myriad Desolate Mountain is just the first step. How much do you know about the ancestral land?"

"Before we get into that, can I ask you something?"

"What is it?"

"Did you have some kind of heirloom like a ring, bracelet, belt, or stone when you were born?"

"What kind of nonsense is that? I don't have a ring or a bracelet. I do have a belt, but it's just an ordinary one. As for a stone, do you want to eat it? I've got plenty!"

"Don't you have some kind of family heirloom that, if you accidentally drop some blood on it, an old man or woman magically appears?" Lee Yuanye persisted.

"What are you talking about, an old man or woman appearing? Are you out of your mind?" Woo Zhengyang was baffled by Lee Yuanye's questions.

"Then how about this... Are you some kind of reincarnated big shot?" Lee Yuanye continued, undeterred.

"I'd really like to know if I'm someone reincarnated..." Woo Zhengyang replied sincerely.

Suddenly becoming the master of Star World and having a stunning woman appear, claiming to be his wife, left Woo Zhengyang eager to understand what was going on.

"What do you mean you'd like to know? Don't you have any memories of a past life?"

"Of course not! If I had memories of a past life, wouldn't I know who I was reincarnated from?" Woo Zhengyang retorted, annoyed.

"Then you're not reincarnated!" Lee Yuanye concluded, but then puzzled, added, "Wait a minute, you're not someone who traveled through time, nor are you a reincarnated powerhouse. You don't have some family treasure, and no magical old person appeared to help you. So how are you the main character?"

"What kind of nonsense is this?"

"Yeah, yeah, it must be like this. I'm the main character, and you should be my sidekick. Even if you can refine top-tier pills and are a master of formations, it's all meant for me. Otherwise, how could I justify this whole journey? Dude, no, buddy, you're like my grandpa!"

"What are you even talking about? Are you out of your mind?"

Woo Zhengyang couldn't take it anymore. How could he be a buddy one moment, a dude the next, and now a grandpa?

...

After being scolded by Woo Zhengyang, Lee Yuanye wasn't angry. Instead, he was thrilled, laughing strangely, "Haha... a tough-love version of grandpa, that's right, that's right. It's the classic setup: struggle first, then success, slow and steady wins the race!"

"What are you even saying?" Woo Zhengyang really wanted to crack open Lee Yuanye's head to see what kind of nonsense was inside.

"You don't need to know. Just remember one thing: everything you have is meant for me, including your opportunities, your strength, your skills in alchemy and formations. No wonder I had a feeling when you appeared that only you could help me leave this small world. Haha, so that's it..."

Lee Yuanye laughed uncontrollably, and Woo Zhengyang had no choice but to use force to restrain him.

Finally, the world quieted down.

A few moments later, Woo Zhengyang released Lee Yuanye.

"You actually restrained me!"

"What? Want to try again?"

"Hmph! Go ahead and enjoy your moment. When I become the main character, you'll see why the flowers are so red... hmph!" Lee Yuanye muttered under his breath.

Woo Zhengyang was used to Lee Yuanye's odd remarks. As long as he wasn't too outrageous, Woo Zhengyang didn't bother with him.

"Now, you should share what you know about the Ancestral Land."

The issue with the Myriad Desolate Mountain was temporarily addressed, but the real challenge lay ahead.

As mentioned before, once they embarked on their journey, there was no turning back. Since they believed that Profound Mountain was their hope of leaving this world, they had to press on, no matter the obstacles.

"Wait a minute, aren't you supposed to be the all-knowing guide, enlightening me?" Lee Yuanye started rambling again.

"What guide? I know very little about Profound Mountain!"

"That's not logical!" Lee Yuanye continued to exclaim.

Despite his outburst, Lee Yuanye understood the importance of the situation and shared everything he knew about Profound Mountain.

"There's no record of how Profound Mountain came to be or how it became the Human Ancestral Land. No one knows."

"One theory suggests that Profound Mountain is the birthplace of humanity, with the first human descending from there, which is why it's called the Human Ancestral Land. But that doesn't make sense! Even if evolution doesn't apply here, humans must have appeared somehow. They couldn't have just popped up out of nowhere!"

"Even if the first person was struck from a rock by lightning, what about the second person? Where did they come from? Were they born? How could they be born on their own?"

Woo Zhengyang felt a headache coming on but had to admit that Lee Yuanye's question was indeed a valid one. However, Woo Zhengyang believed that unless they could travel back in time to see for themselves or find some authentic records, no amount of brainstorming would uncover the truth. So, sticking to his principle of not dwelling on the unknowable, he asked Lee Yuanye, "Any other theories?"

"There's another theory, though it leans a bit towards personal heroism, it's relatively more plausible."

"In this theory, Profound Mountain was just an ordinary mountain until the appearance of one person, who gave it its name. And that person was called Profound Mountain!"
