Chapter 1200: Destruction before construction, destruction before construction

(This chapter continues from the last extra chapter of Volume 4, EX.)
(Just to say the above.)
Let me tell you a man’s story.

The story of a man who finally made a choice in order not to go against his own principles or the irresistible requests of others and continued to move forward.

……

——If a person loses most of his life factors, can he survive?

The answer is yes, because the transfer of life factors is, to some extent, similar to the transplantation of bone marrow or hematopoietic stem cells.

Although stripping away some of the life essence that should have belonged to an individual would cause the person's vitality to be severely damaged for a period of time, and his strength would be significantly reduced, just like a human body that has undergone a major operation and needs time to recover its original vitality and functions; but this loss is ultimately limited, it will not affect the root of life, and will not cause the fire of life to be completely extinguished...

——Can a person survive if he loses half of his spiritual light essence?

The answer is yes, because the essence of the light of the soul is the path a person takes along the way and the "Tao" that he practices.

For those who are truly strong, the way they hold on to deep in their hearts is an indestructible belief that has been formed after countless years of precipitation and hardships. Even after trillions of years of wind and frost, it remains tenacious. No matter how many times they reincarnate, no matter how many times they die or die, no matter what disasters and pains they encounter, they will unswervingly carry it out...

Losing half of its essence suddenly is like a towering tree suddenly losing half of its roots, losing its former vitality and prosperity, along with its strength, will, and even life itself. But because they are truly strong, as long as the trunk is still upright and the fire of life is not extinguished, it still has a chance to reabsorb nutrients in the wind and rain and repair its own scars. Given time, it may be possible to return to the peak...

——If a person loses all his luck and all the faiths of the creatures that believe in him, can he survive?
The answer is yes, because when you achieve the fourth intermediate level, you can naturally suppress and gather luck. As long as you have some interactions with others, even if you live in this world, then luck will slowly and spontaneously gather, it's just a matter of how fast it is.

The secret of luck lies in the word "fight". If you fight, you will rise step by step, if you don't fight, you will be unknown...Except for those who have gathered the luck of the species before they were born, and those who are one in a billion, and even have innate spiritual treasures, who didn't start from zero luck and fight hard until now, including Yang Yun who just entered the main god space?

However, if these three kinds of suffering were imposed on one person at the same time, if a man who had finally become a strong man after countless efforts, struggles and hardships, suddenly lost everything——

So, can he still climb out of the mire and move forward?

……

The answer is, it is still possible. After completing what may be one of the most epoch-making operations in human history and successfully saving the life of the baby girl named "Nuwa", Nong also pushed himself to the edge of unprecedented weakness.

In the past, Nong was only one step away from the fifth stage. Apart from not having obtained the sainthood yet and not wanting to become a saint through the method of "becoming a god through faith", his level of insight, the intensity of his spiritual light, the depth of his understanding of the four elements, and his attainments in other aspects have all reached astonishing heights that even ordinary saints cannot catch up with... Even if he faces a true saint, he has the confidence to retreat unscathed.

However, today's agricultural sector has fallen into an unprecedented low.

Although the fourth-order gene optimization that he was once so proud of had been completed, he could hardly mobilize any strength due to the exhaustion of energy; the spiritual light that was once as bright as the stars was now like a dried-up spring, and no matter how hard he tried, it was difficult to squeeze out a ray of light; his subtle instincts still existed, but due to the limit of his computing power, his actual strength could only exert less than twice the efficiency, not even as good as the level when he first stepped into the fourth-order threshold; as for other means that could be used, they could not be used due to various restrictions...

If we use a sentence to describe the current Nong, it would be "a good cook cannot cook without rice". For him, it is extremely difficult to continue his journey in the prehistoric continent, which is full of crises.

——But even if you lose everything, does it mean the end? As long as you are alive, there is still hope.

Nong thought so and did so. So after a short rest, he rejected the good intentions of Sanqing and others, put on a straw raincoat, held a walking stick, and set out on his own journey again.

What needs to be done remains unchanged.

Cure diseases, save lives, and make life better for as many creatures as possible, no matter they are human or alien... Start with yourself, with what you see, and change everything that you feel is wrong.

Nong's journey is a road full of thorns, and every step is on the edge of fate. Since his luck has been completely reduced to zero, he has encountered countless risks and crises in his journey through the wilderness again, which is even more dangerous than when he was still young and carried Tu to hide in the wilderness in order to survive.

He was besieged by hostile forces, severely injured, and threatened with death many times. On one occasion, he was cursed by the enemy, and his entire soul was torn into seventeen or eighteen pieces. At that moment, he almost touched the end of his life... However, with his strong will and unyielding spirit, he struggled on the edge of despair, and finally racked his brains and made countless efforts to barely pull himself back from the brink of death.

Pain and suffering are the background of Nong's journey back to the wild. But it is precisely in these experiences of brushing shoulders with death that Nong has deeply reflected on and examined his life and beliefs in the interweaving of life and death. Every time he walks out of the shadow of death, his mind becomes more resilient, and his wisdom and strength are gradually condensed and sublimated in these temperings. He has learned to find hope in despair, draw strength from frustration, and integrate and refine his "Tao" to a purer and more powerful state.

What doesn't kill me can only make me stronger. Only by breaking the old self, experiencing the reshaping of life and the recasting of the soul, can we be reborn from the brokenness, transform from a cocoon into a butterfly, and step into a higher realm.

Without destruction there is no construction, only after destruction can one construct!
