Chapter 709 - 699 Not the Lucky One
Midlife Wen Wen, facing a much younger version of himself, was full of emotions.
In that instant, he realized many things. The past decade’s experiences were but an illusory dream under the power of the Jianzhen Spring.
Upon reflection, there were actually very few events from those years that he could remember, and the only things he clearly recalled were a few significant choices.
He looked at his hands, scarred and calloused, and said with emotion, "In this lifetime, I didn’t end up in that mental hospital, and thus missed my connection with the Sanctuary. I am no longer a special superpower user."
"Yet I still ended up on the same path as before, just entering the same realm more than a decade later..."
"Perhaps this is the Enlightenment of True Self."
The so-called True Self is finding one’s true identity. Eight or nine out of ten superpower users in the world rely on something to achieve their current strength.
It could be their own Superpower, a stroke of luck, a Containment Item, but Wen Wen’s main reliance was the Sanctuary.
The ability of the Jianzhen Spring is to let superpower users live through a dream that is both real and illusory.
However, this time, the life journey lacked the support that helped superpower users reach their current realm; everything had to rely on the superpower users themselves.
If under these circumstances, a superpower user could still tread the same path and reach the same realm, they could naturally break free from the constraints set by the limits of Remnant Spirits, breaking through the shackles of Strength and entering a new Realm.
