Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 1182 - 214:

"He does, right beneath that human skin of his, I'm sure of it."

"I didn't see any Heart Demon unless the Heart Demon you're referring to, Mr. Li, is your son himself."

"Did it succeed?"

"It failed."

"Consequences."

"According to your previous description to me, Mr. Li, if you have another patient with the same condition as a reference.

Your son's condition, due to the stimulus of this failed Seal, will erupt earlier, more violently, and be harder to handle than her."

"Hmm, I understand."

"I will help him erase the memory of this failed Seal as much as possible without exacerbating his condition. Though, as they say in the Central Plains, it's like trying to extinguish a cartload of water with a cup, but... better than nothing."

"Seal his memory; it has nothing to do with his condition. I just want to hear him call me mom for a few more years."

"Mr. Li, I will also check you."

"There's no need. You can't even handle my son; I won't let you waste my time either."

"Yes, I'm ashamed."

The conversation disappeared.

All the discomfort also completely vanished at this moment.

Li Zhiyuan propped himself up on the ground, panting heavily.

Alii stared at the boy, and in his eyes, she saw a chilling coldness.

The boy's palms, supporting himself on the ground, slowly clenched into fists.

If Li Lan was merely using various bizarre methods to treat him early, he could understand.

But now, he realized that Li Lan wasn't just treating him... she was using him as a test subject.

She was experimenting on him "testing the medicine" to determine its effectiveness for her use.

This indeed matched her approach, aligning with their mother-son's rational style.

She must have discovered it early on, the normal child she wanted to bear suffered the same illness as hers.

He, as a newborn, couldn't hide it from her eyes. Besides, he initially thought his mother would be like other parents, preferring a smart and understanding child, so he intentionally showed his extraordinary intelligence to win his mother's favor.

For her, since she couldn't give birth to a normal child to anchor her human skin, she might as well put him to good use early on.

No wonder his condition flared earlier and more severely than Li Lan's. You truly are a good mother.

Li Zhiyuan stood up and walked toward the Zhenfei Well.

Now he knew what lay within that well and understood the meaning of this dream.

Standing by the well, despite knowing what he was about to see, he still lowered his head to look into the well.

In the water's reflection, he saw a face identical to his own, mirroring his expressions, eyes as cold as his own.

Alii came over, held his hand in hers, and also looked down.

At the same moment, Alii's face appeared on the water's surface as well.

The Esoteric Buddhism monk tried to help suppress the Heart Demon within him.

But he failed.

The reason for the failure was simple; Li Zhiyuan didn't have a Heart Demon.

As the monk said if one had to say there was one, it would be himself; he was the Heart Demon.

Since entering the Xuanmen, Li Zhiyuan had read many, many books. Some books are beneficial for personal growth and must be read; others don't hold much practical value. He read them in an attempt to understand his condition.

Now, he is proficient in Array Arrangement, Feng Shui, and Puppetry Technique. Ah You's Yin God is tamed by him, and Binbin's resentful baby was Sealed by him.

Therefore, reviewing himself with what he's learned, he's clear he doesn't have a Heart Demon, no split personality, wasn't possessed by Evil or reincarnated...

His illness, pure and simple.

The records and words left by Wei Zhengdao also fully confirmed this, for if any reason mentioned above caused the illness, a person of Wei Zhengdao's capability would have easily resolved it.

People like them are born freaks.

Like a black, terrifying gem, when newly dug up, its surface still covered in dirt.

Accompanying growth, the surface impurities gradually fall away; the so-called onset of illness is merely the time when the surface peels completely, revealing the true self.

If there's an illness to be cured, it's a kind of happiness. But what if the illness is your most natural state?

"Alii, the one below is me too.

I was once afflicted with a Seal here, which failed, but the consequences of that failure lingered, continually exacerbating my condition.

The Grandmaster shifted this dream through a transformation array, which means, for a long time, the Grandmaster has helped me suppress my condition.

No, to be precise, the Grandmaster stopped it from worsening further for me.

The recovery of my condition and the changes I underwent were the results of my own efforts."

Li Zhiyuan explained his reasoning to prevent Alii from misunderstanding. He is the girl's window, having to tell her that he has always been trying.

The worsening factors of his condition were transferred by the Grandmaster, but the condition persisted. The current self and the one from the past have had significant differences, all results of his proactive "recovery."

"I suspect it's because of my relation to Zou Jiang, or perhaps as I grow stronger, the things connected with me grow heavier, in short, now the Grandmaster can't continue to help me suppress it, and I can't stand by idly seeing the Grandmaster continue to suffer for my sake.
