Ai Qinglan finally managed to stop laughing, but Wang Qi, feeling somewhat embarrassed, lowered his head, inwardly chastising himself for making the same old empirical errors, for being too presumptuous, and for seriously lacking the qualities a scientist should possess.
"Does that mean the fundamental mechanism of biological aging still lies within the organism itself?"
"But the weakening of Life Fire and the decay of the soul do occur with aging…"
Seeing Wang Qi still confused, Ai Qinglan gestured with her fingers and said, "Tianling Ridge has also researched this. Take the Human Clan as an example, the 'Life Fire' starts when the fetus has a heartbeat, which is after the eighth week of the mother's pregnancy, and the soul appears when the brain forms, which is six months later. However, the process of 'aging' exists even before conception. You need to be clear about the cause and effect, Wang Qi, life exists first, then comes Life Fire, not the other way around."
