the part where it was revealed that he sacrificed his golden core was not revealed here at this arc. it was later on in the story.
They kinda put those two things together in the drama, but originally in the novel, it is also told later on as I believe it will be in this manhua.
oooh isee ok that makes so much sense cuz i only watched the show so i was thinking that they skipped a lot based off the show
SPOILER
I feel like they skipped so much of this arch, like the whole part where he sacrifices his golden core, and the other guy being depressed as fuck.
