Feng Bujue probably guessed what Woody was going to say next. He thought for a moment, then continued, "So... am I actually from 'that universe'?"
"Hehehe... not exactly," Woody replied.
"I'd like to hear the details," Brother Jue continued.
"Hehe... no problem..." Woody responded, then paused for a few seconds before continuing, "Um... let's talk about my initial motives; at first, I just wanted to try and see if I could 'create a candidate out of thin air.'
"So, I consulted the 'Narrator' from that universe to ask him for advice. Then he told me... he had done something similar before, and succeeded; it's just that... their universe doesn't have any 'Candidate Games,' and what he created wasn't a candidate, but the ruler of the human world.
"He used a tube of blood to create a person?" Feng Bujue asked again.
"Hehehe... wrong." Woody denied Brother Jue's speculation, "He used a natural breeding method."
"He gave birth himself?" Feng Bujue instinctively retorted.
"Hehe..." The next second, Woody smiled lewdly and suddenly changed the subject, "Do you know how to eat the most tender lamb?"
"Hey, hey..." Feng Bujue replied with squinted eyes, "Your change of topic is a little too fast..."
"The method is to select two lambs, one male and one female; from the moment they are born, only feed them special sheep's milk, and never let them touch a single blade of grass." Woody ignored Brother Jue's joke and continued, "Until they mate and give birth, then take their newborn children and slaughter them... this way you can eat the most tender..."
"What the f*ck?" Feng Bujue finally realized what he was talking about and interrupted, "Is this the 'Narrator's' method?"
"Hehehe... very clever, isn't it?" Woody laughed, "The couple selected by the Narrator, from their acquaintance, love, marriage, and even the approximate time of pregnancy... were all secretly controlled by him. The parties involved were completely unaware until they were used and killed..."
"You guy..." At this moment, Feng Bujue's expression and tone suddenly turned cold, "What do you mean?"
"Hehe... don't be anxious yet." Woody also knew that Feng Bujue had thought of something, "My approach is not the same as his."
"Oh... really?" Feng Bujue looked at the other party sideways, watching Woody with suspicious eyes, and read with a sneer.
"Of course." Woody replied very calmly, "I don't have the Narrator's good intentions to do matchmaking, so I directly found a pair of 'qualified' couples to be your parents."
"What 'qualifications' are you referring to?" Feng Bujue asked.
"Hehehe... very simple, look at race and appearance." Woody replied quickly, "In terms of race... your genes come from a yellow-skinned person in a parallel universe, so I definitely couldn't find you a pair of white or black parents. As for appearance... 'height, size, and build' must be suitable. If those two are particularly fat, particularly short, particularly tall, or particularly unlike you when you grow up... it will also seem very awkward."
"How do you know what I'll look like when I grow up?" Brother Jue asked.
"I don't know." Woody spread his hands and smiled, "Hehe... I'm just making a rough guess based on the appearance of the person who provided you with the genes."
"Then..." Feng Bujue continued, "How was I 'born'? All you have is a tube of blood, which can at most make a clone, but I'm obviously not that kind of situation."
"Hehehe..." Woody laughed, "That's right... I naturally wouldn't make clones, because clones have no soul, and creatures without souls cannot become candidates." He paused for half a second, then continued, "I used the technology from 'our side'... without any 'sex'-related behavior, blood can be used to create life and directly summon a soul from the 'Nether Sea' to fuse with it."
"Oh... so... some kind of evil religious ritual or magic?" Feng Bujue continued.
"Hehe... that's what you say." Woody replied, "Have you heard the story of Jesus' birth? You can't say that's an evil ritual, can you?"
As soon as he said this, Brother Jue immediately reacted: "Virgin birth?"
"Hehehe... that's about the meaning." Woody said, "Of course, you were definitely not born of a virgin, I'm just giving you an example to tell you that our technology can do something similar."
"So who am I actually the child of?" Feng Bujue asked.
"Um..." Woody stroked his chin, pretending to think, "This question is really hard to answer... Although you were conceived and born by a human female in this universe, from a bloodline perspective, you have no relationship with anyone in this parallel universe... If you have to recognize a parent, your father should be a man named 'Guwen' (顾问, surname Gu, name Wen) in a parallel universe; and your mother... is this universe itself."
"Oh." Hearing this, even Feng Bujue didn't know what expression to make, "Then can I go out and mix under the banner of 'Gu Ritian' (顾日天) in the future?"
"Hehehe... even if there is a 'Gu Ritian,' that's your dad, not you." Woody laughed, "Let's continue talking about your affairs."
"Okay, okay... you say." Brother Jue received a lot of information in the past ten minutes, but he could still handle it.
"Let me ask..." After pausing for a few seconds, Woody asked, "How have you been getting along with the people in your 'Mind Sanctuary' lately?"
"Um... you even know about this." Feng Bujue asked back.
"Hehe... definitely." Woody laughed.
Brother Jue shrugged: "Just like that, there was no conflict in the first place."
"Is that so... hehehe... it seems that Gu Chen and Qi Zhi have put in a lot of effort." Woody then read.
"What's wrong?" Feng Bujue said, "What do you mean by that?"
Woody naturally knew all about Brother Jue's cultivation of the Dunjia Tianshu (遁甲天书), Qi Zhi's forced tempering of his body, and Simon's forced activation of his potential, so Brother Jue asked directly, and Woody could answer directly.
"That night, it wasn't convenient for me to say more in front of Qi Zhi, after all, Division Nine is a human government agency, it's best not to let them know too much." Woody continued, "But now... I can tell you specifically..." He pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and asked, "First of all, you must have heard the saying 'improper foundation' many times, right?"
"Um." Feng Bujue nodded and responded.
"Now you should also understand... it is precisely because of your bloodline problem that you are not suitable to practice Xuanmen (玄门) orthodox cultivation methods belonging to 'this universe' like Dunjia Tianshu." Woody continued, "It's like asking an Ultraman to practice yoga—the alien's body structure and breathing functions are different from humans, so it will definitely be distorted."
"In my case, what should I practice?" Feng Bujue asked.
"Hehehe..." Woody laughed again, "Actually, you don't need to practice anything, because the 'abilities' in 'that universe'... are all improved through 'application' and 'understanding'. Everyone's actual situation is different, so there is no universal 'cultivation method' that can be practiced."
"Oh..." Feng Bujue responded thoughtfully, "Then... what exactly is my 'ability'? If you report a name like 'Generator' or 'Hyōrinmaru,' then I can find a direction to work hard on, but you say 'Fallacy of Truth,' who knows how to use it?"
"Hehe... take it one step at a time." Woody replied, then continued, "You have to understand your origins and the ability system of that parallel universe before you can start researching your own ability." He paused, then continued, "Let's... talk about your bloodline father first; his ability is called 'Line of Truth'. At the 'Paper' level, its effect is to manipulate some lines that are almost invisible to the naked eye to cut objects; at the 'Parallel' level, the strength, range, and speed of the lines will be improved; then..."
"Hold on..." At this time, Feng Bujue interjected, "Is this level division... playing mugen?"
"Hehehe... in that universe, the strength of ability users is divided like this." Woody said, "By the way, 'Paper, Parallel, Strong, Fierce, Crazy, God' are the divisions in terms of strength. If divided by type, abilities should be divided into seven types: 'Physical Mutation, Mental Interference, Energy Conversion, Molecular Influence, Spacetime Guidance, Order Destruction, and Unknown Field.'"
"Okay... please continue..." Brother Jue glared at the other party, signaling him to continue.
Woody waited for a second and then continued: "Okay, let's talk about the Line of Truth... After the 'Strong' level, in addition to the further increase in basic attributes such as strength and range, the controllability and the upper limit of the number will also be greatly increased at this level. You can imagine that the difficulty of manipulating the Line of Truth at this time is very amazing..."
"Yes, anyone can focus their attention on one object, but it is difficult to pay attention to two or three things at the same time." Feng Bujue continued, "And if this number reaches more than ten..."
"Hehehe... that's right." Woody laughed, "Just like you control dozens of 'Mad Poker' cards at the same time in 'Thriller Paradise.'"
"No, it's more difficult than that." Feng Bujue said, "Not to mention that my thinking speed in Thriller Paradise has been significantly improved, but even 'poker' is much easier to deal with than 'lines'... If the latter is not handled properly, it is likely to get tangled together or cut each other."
"Hehe... you're quite objective at this time." Woody continued, "To make a long story short, Guwen's Line of Truth only reached the Strong level, because the difficulty of improving this ability is too outrageous; moreover, he was not originally a person who relied on abilities to fight, in comparison, his mind is a more terrifying weapon... However, according to the 'Narrator', if this ability is continued to be practiced and reaches the 'God' level, it will become a 'spacetime level' ability."
"Could it be breaking through the void and ascending to immortality?" Feng Bujue said casually as a joke.
"Tearing apart the void is only one of its effects." Unexpectedly, Woody answered very seriously, "What's really headache-inducing is patching and splicing the entire space... as well as correcting and connecting timelines and other behaviors."
"Damn—" Feng Bujue could only use an interjection to express his mood at this time.
"The 'abilities' of that universe are roughly set like this. Theoretically, all abilities can be upgraded to the 'God' level, and all abilities are very strong at the God level." Woody continued, "But... the difficulty of upgrading those rare and super-powerful abilities is also desperate; so the general situation there is... some guys with simple and rude abilities can practice to the 'Fierce' or even 'Crazy' level, but those who have extremely superior abilities may stop at 'Strong' or 'Fierce'."
"Needless to say~ my ability belongs to the kind that is super difficult to practice, right?" Feng Bujue is still very confident in his luck (in terms of negativity).
"Hehehe..." Woody's laughter started again, "Well... in a certain year after you were born, I once went to that universe again, and I communicated with the Narrator about your affairs at that time... hehe... Speaking of which, your ability should be one of the 'most difficult to practice' abilities."
"So... the problem still comes back." Feng Bujue said, "You still haven't told me what my ability is?"
At this moment, the lenses of Woody's glasses flashed white, and a solemn look that Brother Jue had never seen before appeared on his face: "The effect of the Fallacy of Truth, to summarize, is probably—[Negate the Past, Interfere with the Present, Reverse the Future]."
Feng Bujue is a very perceptive person, but this "understanding" is based on knowledge reserves and logical deduction; and the content Woody is saying at this moment... is neither in Brother Jue's knowledge base nor is there any possibility of reasonable speculation.
So, Brother Jue's response was this: "Listening to this, I am at least a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal (混元大罗金仙), why can't I fly?"
"Hehehe..." Woody ignored his complaints and continued, "Let's talk about the category of your ability first... Because it combines the characteristics of 'Spacetime Guidance' and 'Order Destruction', and also carries some other things... Therefore, it has to be classified into the 'Unknown Field'. As for the level... there is no doubt that it is the 'Paper' level."
"Tch... only the Paper level." Feng Bujue seemed a little unhappy.
"Hehe... come on, if Simon hadn't activated your potential on Wushuang Plain (无双原), you wouldn't even be able to reach the Paper level." Woody continued.
"Wu...shuang...Plain!" Feng Bujue exclaimed in response, "Ha! I knew you guys were playing tricks back then! From then on, I..."
"...can see through the laws of the operation of things, and can even feel the Earth's rotation." Woody took over his words and said directly, "Yes, I know all this. Now... you should also know that these are the basic characteristics of your ability."
