"But what's going on? If such a powerful existence wants to harm me, why not just kill me outright? Why only disrupt my upgrade?"
At this moment, Chu Xiu's spiritual sense stirred, and he suddenly thought of something.
The cold feeling he experienced at that time seemed somewhat similar to that in Abyss City...
Just like living in that unfeeling, data-driven place in Abyss City for hundreds or thousands of years, a coldness that emanates from the depths of one's soul.
"Could it be... that my failure to reach Core Formation is actually related to the Abyss?"
Chu Xiu furrowed his brows, suddenly recalling some ambiguous words Meng Xuanshu once told him.
"Trials can help break through bottlenecks, but it's not the only way to break through them."
"As long as you follow the rules of the Abyss, you will never defeat the Abyss."
