Such an existence perhaps no longer has any causal ties to this world at all. Is it because of bonds? Or an obsession? Or perhaps... unwillingness?)
Don't let Dong Cheng's carefree demeanor and his status as a Level 6 energy-type Grand Scientist fool you; he was a true academic elite. Before becoming a Level 6 energy-type Grand Scientist, he had already mastered at least a dozen disciplines to a level close to Level 5. He excelled in critical thinking, philosophy, psychology, and more. Now, facing the Overlord, his mind naturally began racing with various calculations.
"Overlord, I am Dong Cheng, a Level 6 energy-type Grand Scientist from the Primordial Era," Dong Cheng said loudly and directly. "I am not here to fight you—though, of course, I don't exclude the possibility of joining this war later. But right now, I want to have an earnest conversation with you, even if it's just this once. I heard about your past and character from Wu Zetian, and I understand your determination. However, I fail to understand the absolute Great Unity. I want to talk to you about it now. What do you say? Are you willing to talk with me?"
