"Most of that Natural Energy carried the nature of 'life,' while the energy within corpses carried the nature of 'death.'"
From Gege Wu's description, Zhou Xu had basically figured the whole thing out.

Zhou Xu froze for a second at that, then seemed to think of something and immediately stood up.
"Lead the way. Let's go take a look."
