Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

However, this regeneration also requires a large amount of vital energy from the human body; it is not a regeneration out of thin air.

Therefore, he had to supplement El Cid's treatment with medicated baths.

However, as treatment continued, El Cid's body inevitably began to show abnormalities.

"Wow--"

El Cid, still unconscious, frowned and involuntarily spat out a mouthful of blood, which visibly stained the medicine in the pot red.

"Oh no! His body is too weak to withstand my treatment!" Odysseus exclaimed in alarm.

El Cid was too badly injured. Even though he was very careful and even had Wu Xin control the absorption of the medicine, he still couldn't withstand the burden of the treatment.

"What should we do then?" Wuxin asked hurriedly.

Odysseus thought for a moment, then decisively said, "Quickly, quickly bring out your Holy Water of Moonlight!"

Take one drop and divide it into two portions.

"One portion was injected directly into his wounds, and the other portion was added to the medicine!"

"Yes!"

Wu Xin dared not delay and quickly prepared a drop of holy moonlight water, following Odysseus's instructions.

With the infusion of the Moon Essence Holy Water, El Cid's previously weakened aura quickly stabilized again.

Seeing this, Odysseus was finally able to continue the treatment with peace of mind.

And so, the two worked together, and a day and a night passed.

During this period, El Cid experienced ten more episodes of abnormal weakness, and Wu Xin took ten drops of Moon Essence Holy Water to assist in the treatment. Even the water in the medicine pot was added several times.

However, Wuxin also noticed that as the treatment continued, the intervals between Elshid's abnormal weakness became longer and longer, and his vital signs became more and more stable.

"It looks like we're almost there!" Wu Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

However, at this moment, El Cid's aura fluctuated abnormally again, and the faint flame of life became listless once more.

"Again!"

Wu Xin frowned, then immediately prepared another drop of Moon Essence Holy Water, ready to continue the previous operation.

"Don't make a move yet!"

Odysseus quickly called out to him.

"What's wrong?" Wuxin asked, puzzled.

"This time, things seem different!"

Odysseus examined him carefully and said seriously, "This time it's not a lack of life force, but rather that his soul consciousness is about to collapse!"

"what?"

Wu Xin was dumbfounded when he heard this.

His Moon Essence Water can only heal physical injuries and replenish vital energy, but it has no effect on soul trauma.

Odysseus continued, "When he fought Death earlier, he even consumed and burned his soul power."

"With continued treatment, his weak mental fortitude is naturally starting to give out!"

"Then what should we do?" Wuxin hurriedly asked.

"I can only use the remaining 'Star Sand'!" Odysseus said with some reluctance, using his telekinesis to pull out an exquisite silver bottle from a hidden compartment in a medicine cabinet not far away.

As Odysseus used his telekinesis to open the lid of the silver bottle, a familiar aura was released.

It was the Star Sand he brought back from the Temple of the Moon last time.

"I hope he can leave me some. It would be such a waste to use it all on himself!" Odysseus muttered to himself as he used his telekinesis to grab some stardust and throw it into the medicine pot.

Sure enough, with the addition of Star Sand, El Cid's weakened aura was stabilized once again.

A crisis was thus averted.

Seeing this, Wu Xin couldn't help but say, "You said before that you only had a 20% chance of healing Senior El Cid's injuries."

"Now it seems that what you said wasn't entirely accurate, was it?"

El Cid's physical condition is getting better and better, and everything is developing in a positive direction.

Odysseus put away the silver bottle containing the star sand and said irritably, "If it weren't for your holy water of moonlight and my star sand, he would have died countless times by now!"

"His survival until now, and his condition is getting better and better, is entirely thanks to the Holy Water of the Moon and the Sand of Stars!"

"You don't think these two things are easy to get from outside, do you?"

"Uh--"

Wu Xin was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Because he could use them at any time, he had never thought about such a question. Now, hearing Odysseus mention them, he suddenly realized that the two things used to treat El Cid were both extremely rare spiritual objects.

Chapter 385 The Road to Heaven is Broken

Odysseus continued, "With a large supply of Moon Essence Water and Star Sand, even if something goes wrong during the treatment, we can bring the person back in time."

"In fact, if we were to rely solely on my medical skills to treat El Cid, we would have failed several times already!"

Upon hearing this, Wuxin couldn't help but sigh.

"I understand!"

The existence of the Moon Essence Water and the stars gave them countless opportunities to try and fail.

Under normal circumstances, most people don't have such abundant resources, and one failure could mean certain death.

"That's right!"

Wu Xin glanced at the wounded in the medicine pot and said with a smile, "Senior El Cid survived this ordeal and absorbed so much Star Sand, his soul will surely become even stronger."

"Do you think it's possible for him to take another step forward and reach the level of the Ninth Sense?"

"what?"

Odysseus was taken aback. After regaining his senses, he said with a wry smile, "I say, kid, aren't you underestimating the Ninth Sense?"

"Don't be fooled by the fact that it's only one level away from the Eighth Sense; that's a realm belonging to the gods."

"A single step can make all the difference, like heaven and earth!"

"How could it be so easy to break through!"

"Are you kidding me?"

Wu Xin looked at him with surprise and said seriously, "We have fought against the Four Gods of Dreams in the Dream Realm before, but their strength is not much stronger than that of the Gold Saints!"

"Only the combination of the four gods is worth watching!"

"That's just your imagination!"

Odysseus shook his head and patiently explained, "Although the Four Dream Gods are among the lowest ranks of the gods, they are indeed at the level of the Ninth Sense."

"The reason you feel they are weak and insignificant is simply because you are not facing the true Four Gods of Dreams!"

"Not the real Four Gods of Dreams? What does that mean?" Wu Xin asked curiously.

Odysseus said seriously, "The gods you see now are actually reincarnations or soul-possessed beings like Lord Sasha, not the complete gods themselves, so their power is greatly limited."

"More importantly, once a god is reincarnated, he will lose the blessing of his original divine body and become as fragile as a mortal."

"A truly complete god is a perfect combination of the soul realm and the physical divine body."

"Without the blessing of a divine body, their strength would be further weakened, which is why you were able to easily defeat those low-level gods like the Four Dream Gods."

Wu Xin was a little confused and tentatively asked, "The soul realm you mentioned should refer to the cultivation realm of the microcosm, right?"

"And what is that physical divine body?"

"Well... haha!"

Upon hearing Wuxin's question, Odysseus's expression changed, but he chuckled and offered no further explanation.

"Is this some kind of secret that can't be told?" Wu Xin became even more curious.

"more or less!"

Odysseus shrugged, glanced at the sky again, and said helplessly, "Human nature contains selfishness, and gods are no exception!"

"In my view, gods are actually..."

Suddenly thinking of Sasha atop the holy mountain, Odysseus quickly stopped himself from speaking and added, "Just like the situation in human society."

“Once certain interest groups have seized the benefits, they will think about keeping those benefits forever, rather than generously sharing them with others.”

"In order to permanently protect their own interests, they will even cut off the path for newcomers to join their group."

"Will you understand my explanation?"

Wu Xin thought for a moment, and a bold guess formed in his mind. He tentatively asked, "You mean, the physical body and the divine body are..."

"You can keep it to yourself; there's no need to say it out loud!"

Before Wuxin could finish speaking, Odysseus interrupted him.

Seeing this, Wuxin's expression became much more serious.

Long ago, he felt that the Saint Seiya training system seemed to have a serious flaw, focusing only on improving the realm of soul consciousness while hardly mentioning the cultivation of the physical body.

It turns out that this wasn't his imagination, but rather a genuine incompleteness.

Those beings above did not want anyone to climb up and diminish their benefits, so they cut off the path to heaven and deliberately taught them incomplete cultivation methods.

It's no wonder that since the age of mythology, we've heard less and less about people transforming from mortals into gods.

"Alright, stop thinking about all that nonsense!"

Odysseus ended the dangerous topic and looked at the man in the medicine pot, saying seriously, "He is seriously injured. He has not only lost a lot of his life force, but his soul has also suffered irreversible damage."

"It's a miracle he survived with injuries like that; there's no way he could have advanced any further."

"It's even possible that his original soul realm will decline!"

"What??"
