At this juncture, Lin Waner spoke with a serious tone. She stood up and continued, “Another possibility is that the master is aware that this trap will be activated at an unknown time in the future. For him, the exact timing isn’t important; what matters is that it is triggered. If that’s the case, then the master… is most likely still alive!”


    “Still alive?” Charlie Wade frowned and inquired, “If he hasn’t passed away, then he must have discovered a way to extend his lifespan beyond a thousand years. Moreover, if he is still alive, he should be far stronger than I am now, and countless times mightier than Sara. Why would he choose to remain silent in Shiwan Mountain for so many years?”


    Charlie Wade borated, “In other words, if he needs someone like me, with a rising dragon rank, to fulfill a task, he could approach me directly without going through all the trouble of leading me here.”


    Lin Wan’er nced at Charlie Wade and then at the lush Mother of Pu Tea outside the window. She asked him, “Master, consider the experience of the Mother of Pu Tea. For over three hundred years, the Nu family believed she had perished in that catastrophe. However, they never anticipated that she had her own means of preserving a flicker of life. Her vitality resembled a seed that could remain dormant indefinitely. Had she not encountered her own spring rain, she could have remained hidden in the soil for a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand years. But once the rain came, she would be reborn and rise from the earth.”


    As she spoke, Lin Wan’er met Charlie Wade’s gaze and murmured, “Sir, I feel that the master must also have his own method of preserving his slim chance for life in Shiwan Mountain, much like the Mother of Pu Tea. When the spring rain he is waiting for arrives, he can be reborn just like her, and you, young master, are the spring rain he has been anticipating…”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Charlie Wade looked at the Mother of Pu Tea. Although its branches were still slender in the sunlight, they were significantly stronger than when they first broke through the ground. At that moment, a curled bud began to unfurl in the sun, revealing a smaller and more delicate bud.


    Charlie Wade felt a sudden heaviness in his heart, apanied by a slight sense of anxiety and panic.


    Lin Wan’er suddenly grasped Charlie Wade’s hand, her expression tinged with fear. “Master, do you remember what you told me on the day of the fight with Uncle?” she asked.


    Charlie Wade nodded, “Of course I remember.”


    Lin Wan’er continued, “Young master once mentioned that Willie imed before opening the Niwan Pce that it didn’t matter if the master destroyed his body, as he could switch bodies to take revenge on the master?”


    Charlie Wade affirmed, “Yes, he did say that.”<fn2dac> Fresh chapters posted on f?ndnovel</fn2dac>


    Lin Wan’er asked anxiously, “Master, do you believe that there really exists such an evil technique that can transfer a human consciousness into another body?”


    Charlie Wade paused for a moment before responding earnestly, “While I haven’t encountered any magic rted to that, I think it’s very likely such magic exists. If we look closely, we can see that people, mobile phones, andputers are essentially simr. The body serves as hardware, while the brain or consciousness acts as software. Transferring one person’s consciousness into another person’s body is akin to acquiring a second-hand mobile phone. All the data must be migrated, recing the original data on that phone.”


    Lin Wan’er remarked, “If you retain the data of a mobile phone just before its hardware fails and then find a suitable recement, you could theoretically revive the former. When the master reaches his thousand-year milestone, he may not be able to find an opportunity to continue living, but he might have devised a way to preserve his consciousness and wait for an appropriate physical body to appear.”


    She added, “Seizing a body must be a very arduous process; otherwise, he wouldn’t have chosen to remain silent for so many years. He could have taken my father’s body before he passed. For someone who solely seeks immortality, the aim of body snatching should not merely be survival but rather to overthrow his previous thousand years of cultivation and find a better starting point to begin anew. If he hastily finds a body with mediocre potential, he may never reach his previous heights. Therefore, he requires not just any physical body to be reborn, but one that is powerful enough to give him a chance to challenge the heavens!”
