Bai Ze fell silent for a while before answering, "It feels quite good. I can sense the power of the earth's veins here, so I don't even need to sleep to recover my mental energy."
"It will still take some time to awaken the animals' intelligence, though. Look, I can already direct them to do things. Given a little more time, these little fellows might become smarter."
"Lushu's descendants, right? I've seen them. Quite interesting creatures."
Old Sheephead even kindly offered a few words of comfort. "Losing family is indeed painful. But we come into this life alone and leave it alone. Try to take it a little less to heart."
"My descendants have all died, too. Still, watching old friends' youngsters grow up has its own pleasures. After those youngsters die, there will be more youngsters anyway, an endless succession of children and grandchildren."
Zhang Ming accepted the kindness and laughed. "Looks like every species has similar social phenomena, as long as their lifespans vary."
He added, "Actually, I called because I have a few favors to ask. Humanity wants to explore the nature of superpowers, especially mental abilities. Humans are sorely lacking in that area."
"As a species with innately powerful souls, you must know a great deal that humans don't. It would be wonderful if we could exchange knowledge and learn from each other."
Bai Ze said with interest, "If you don't mind this old fellow's knowledge being outdated and obsolete, I see no reason why not."
"I'd also like to see whether the human species has any particular potential."
Unlike that stinking stone, Old Sheephead didn't lay down all sorts of bullshit conditions. After all, Old Sheephead wanted to understand human culture and have more exchanges in the first place.
Besides, this fellow loved to chat.
