In the darkness, Chen Shouyi abruptly opened his eyes.
"That scared me to death."
His chest heaved violently. He could still faintly feel a burning pain all over his body.
"Huh? No, that's not right! This isn't an illusion. It really hurts!" He quickly realized what was happening.
He felt around his body, then hurriedly got up to take a look.
His skin was bright red and burning hot, with faint traces of ulceration.
"This..."
Chen Shouyi's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. "That's impossible!"
This was the world of memories.

He got out of bed and lit the kerosene lamp. The room quickly brightened, and in just a moment, he found that his body was covered in blood blisters. His skin had turned somewhat rotten, and when he gently pinched it, pus oozed out.
A foul stench filled the air.
He found that the legendary energy protecting his body had no resistance at all to this toxin. It crumbled at the slightest touch, retreating step by step.
Chen Shouyi shuddered at the sight and frowned.

No matter what injuries I suffered in there, even if I died, I was completely unaffected... But clearly, that's not the case now."
"Or maybe the injuries before were just too minor!" Chen Shouyi couldn't help feeling irritated. "Damn it, good thing I didn't push my luck and got out in time. Otherwise, the consequences would've been unthinkable."
"Fortunately, Natural Healing can still handle this kind of injury!"
He felt the spread of the ulceration slowing down. Before
