Chapter 418: Telling the Truth

"Big Sis Xiao Han, is there... something wrong with my body?"

Qiu Ruxin asked frantically.

After all, her body was her capital.

The power of the transcendent was something she had never heard of, and she couldn't know it inside and out, so showing such a fearful expression was an instinctive act.

"No... there's nothing wrong with your body. It's just that you've achieved something that others can only achieve later on. But because it's too advanced, compared to your current self, this situation is just a burden."

I sighed and said to Qiu Ruxin.

I could naturally see that Qiu Ruxin was very afraid of the current situation.

After all, who likes the unknown?

"No, nothing... really?"

Regarding the long explanation I gave, the nervous Qiu Ruxin at this moment only heard that she was fine.

"Of course, you're fine. You're just a special case. And in a sense, you and I are the same kind of existence."

I subconsciously touched the collar around my neck and said.

"The same? What do you mean?"

"The current me is actually as unlucky as you, but I have an alchemical item that suppresses this curse of misfortune, so I appear to be like an ordinary person."

"An alchemical item? Then can I..."

"Sorry, I only have one right now. Situations like yours and mine are very rare, and... this alchemical item is also very rare."

I shook my head regretfully.

And I couldn't possibly give it to her.

Not to mention what I would do, my curse of misfortune is much harsher than Qiu Ruxin's.

If something like a building collapses or Secret Diggers fight their way into my home, it would cause great damage to my and Qiu Ruxin's lives.

Currently, the misfortune caused by Qiu Ruxin is still manageable, so it goes without saying which choice to make.

I don't plan to complicate matters.

"Hmm... I'm sorry, I was too greedy..."

"It's nothing. I know it's very painful to be given hope and then have it destroyed. But when you get to the Witch Academy, if you have a chance to meet our Academy Head, she might be able to help you."

I said comfortingly.

After all, I have great faith in the Academy Head's abilities, not just in matters like the curse of misfortune, but also in carrying Magic Power Sources and spellbooks.

Isn't that my current situation?

At that time, when the Academy Head let me sever the Earth Vein Chains, she didn't know I would awaken as a body cultivator.

So, even without the Earth Vein Chains, the Academy Head should have other ways to help carry Magic Power Sources.

It's just that this happened to me, so she temporarily changed plans and used this better solution.

"Really?"

"Yes, I think... the Academy Head should."

I said.

"Cheer up, don't be too sad. You must understand that you have achieved something that others can only achieve later on. Do you still remember what I told you about the Witch Academy? Your current situation is something that only those graduated seniors are qualified to do, so you don't have to feel sad."

"Graduated? I can already do that kind of thing?"

"Yes, although this was probably a result of a series of coincidences, I guess there's a high probability that it's a side effect of your Tear of Frenzied Growth."

"Is it this again?"

Qiu Ruxin took out the pendant she had been wearing from inside her clothes, her eyes filled with a mixture of love and hate for it.

"Hmm... it's just a guess. It might be its side effect."

I said softly.

After all, the formation of this transcendent item is inseparable from the world will and the script.

So if its effect is to accelerate the development of a specific technology tree in this world, then it makes sense that the side effect is to make the person using it sever the Earth Vein Chains and escape the world's control.

After all, from a macroscopic world perspective, both the benefits and risks belong to the world will.

But then the world will uses the Seed of Destiny to bind the powerless tool-person who is at the mercy of others within the script...

What a fine move.

However, severing the Earth Vein Chains is not necessarily a bad thing.

After advancing to the transcendent, if you want to leave your original world, you must sever the Earth Vein Chains and escape the world's control.

But this world will has another layer of insurance, and that is that the formation of this transcendent item is related to the destiny of this world!

This transcendent item cannot be used in other worlds.

After all, once the destiny is drawn out from this transcendent item, this transcendent item might also collapse.

So, the side effect of this transcendent item is also limited in scope, making the side effect of "severing the Earth Vein Chains" never able to exert its positive effect!

It's too difficult.

The Children of Destiny in this world are having it too difficult!

Thinking of this, I looked at Qiu Ruxin with sympathy again.

Such a truth... should I tell Qiu Ruxin?

Even if I tell her, so what?

Just to let Qiu Ruxin know the truth she should know, and let her live in pain?

Or to make her hate this original world even more?

After thinking for a long time, I gave Qiu Ruxin the right to choose for herself.

Although I was very clear that when I asked, Qiu Ruxin would most likely choose to know the truth, just like when Teacher Ji Niang and Teacher Lina asked me if I wanted to know about the World Script Theory.

When I learned about this concept, I actually had no choice.

The same goes for Qiu Ruxin.

But this is the truth.

If she doesn't even have the courage to face the truth, then Qiu Ruxin entering the Witch Academy will just be like the ordinary students who enroll and fade into the crowd.

Of course, even if the students of the Witch Academy fade into the crowd, they are still geniuses.

After all, you must know that in the group of people above your level, even if a person is demoted to the floor by that group of people, that is still the ceiling of the next level.

"Qiu Ruxin, I have a question for you. Do you want to know the truth? Although I'm just speculating, I think it's not far from the truth."

At this moment, I sat down on the sofa, my tone also a little heavy.

"The truth... what truth? Can you tell me? I feel like my life is already in ruins..."

"Then knowing the truth will only make your already ruined life worse, you know?"

I warned.

"It's fine, it won't... I will adjust my mentality... Big Sis Xiao Han, am I already a witch now?"

"You're a reserve witch. I'm also a reserve witch. Only after graduation can one be considered a true Transcendent Witch."

"So that's how it is. Also... if I become a Transcendent Witch, does it mean I can get rid of everything from the past and start anew?"

"You will. Just wait. When this world merges with the world I'm in, you will enter the Witch Academy. There, your life will completely change, and your life will usher in a complete turning point."

"Then I choose to know the truth. I have suffered so much. If I don't know the truth, I really won't be reconciled."

Qiu Ruxin made up her mind and gave the answer I expected.

"So that's what you think. You're a bit like me back then."

Seeing Qiu Ruxin so determined, I naturally began to explain to her.

There was nothing to hide.

Whether it was destiny, the script, the world will, or the Earth Vein Chains, none of these concepts were something that couldn't be revealed.

Even when Qiu Ruxin arrives at the Witch Academy, it won't be a problem.

The students of the academy pretty much know about these concepts.

Even things like the Earth Vein Chains, they will also have to know as they approach graduation.

And I must supplement Qiu Ruxin with these concepts, otherwise she would most likely not be able to understand what I'm saying.

I explained it very carefully, trying my best to state these truths in a very calm tone, from the world will using destiny to weave a script, to the concept of transcendent items and her current situation as a Child of Destiny.

During this time, Qiu Ruxin understood a lot and knew a lot of truths.

Her cognition was suddenly raised a lot by me at this moment.

Although this felt a bit like helping shoots grow by pulling them up, Qiu Ruxin was still a little confused about these concepts.

She needed time to digest these truths.

When I talked about the truth related to this transcendent item, Qiu Ruxin, who had been suppressed for a long time, completely broke down and cried.

I waited quietly on the side for Qiu Ruxin to vent the grievances in her heart.

Today had not passed yet.

This was still Qiu Ruxin's birthday, and also her coming-of-age ceremony.

Welcome to the adult world.

The current Qiu Ruxin is no longer a child.

A person can only be considered to have grown up after learning something, giving up something, and accepting something.

Even I didn't expect that Qiu Ruxin's coming-of-age ceremony would be so unforgettable for her.

The sky outside was gradually getting dark, but the night would also pass soon, and tomorrow's sun would still rise.

Qiu Ruxin's life would also be brighter.

The explanation of the truth was actually not much.

What was more important was the explanation of the many concepts involved in this matter.

The explanation of each concept was to open a new world for Qiu Ruxin.

In this one night, she had crossed over concepts that others would take years to explore and understand thoroughly.

I looked at the time.

I had almost finished speaking, and I was even a little parched from talking.

I have to say, I should also practice my expression skills.

If Teacher Ji Niang or the Academy Head had explained all this, it probably wouldn't have taken much time.

But I actually talked until now, although Qiu Ruxin being a curious baby with many questions was also one of the key reasons.

And now, it was already past midnight.

Today was a new day.

"Alright, how do you feel? Today is a new day. Your coming-of-age ceremony has passed. Welcome to the adult world."

"Adult..."

Qiu Ruxin couldn't help but let out a bitter smile at this moment.

"Big Sis Xiao Han, is this the adult world?"

"Yes, after leaving the swaddling clothes and the lies woven by the world, truth is what adults pursue. Of course... this is my temporary personal view. Adults should have a flexible cognitive concept, otherwise many things will make themselves very tired. But you can always be relaxed, as long as you are willing to let go of your self-consumption, then you can also live happily in the real world."

"Finding joy in suffering?"

"It seems you still don't understand. Then don't think too much. Get a good night's sleep, and everything will be fine tomorrow."

"But I can't sleep..."

"Alright, my bad. I shouldn't have told you these things so late."

"Then... Big Sis Xiao Han, can you sleep with me?"

"No, okay? I have a girlfriend. If it really doesn't work, you can think of it this way: I can't sleep with you in terms of space, but I am actually sleeping with you in terms of time. How about that?"

"Pfft... haha... Big Sis Xiao Han also makes jokes? But... I really envy your girlfriend, Big Sis Xiao Han... She's so lucky to have you..."

Then Qiu Ruxin couldn't help but laugh, but soon her laughter turned into envy.

"You're wrong, okay? It's me who has her, it's my luck."

"Is that so? Does Big Sis Xiao Han mean that that person is very important to you?"

"Yes, very important. Anyway, good night."

"Good night."

...

After talking to Qiu Ruxin, I soothed her to sleep.

But I didn't need to sleep.

I still had a lot of energy.

It was just that the things I had done these past few days had made me mentally tired.

After letting it all go, now that I look back, it's nothing.

Just now, when I was alone with Qiu Ruxin for so long, I wasn't just talking to her about those things.

The current me has already become strong, not just in terms of pure strength, but also in other aspects, such as perception, multitasking, and so on.

Naturally, while explaining those concepts and truths to her, I could also do other things, such as feeling the characteristics of that transcendent item and observing its effects and the information it actively emitted.

Information is a very strange concept.

Even I only have a partial understanding of it, but I know that my Spirit Vision can receive information, and I can understand the meaning contained in this information in a way I understand.

Just now, when I was in contact with Qiu Ruxin, I finally confirmed that that transcendent item was constantly radiating a special kind of information outwards.

I don't know why, but this information feels very strange.

If I had to describe it, it's like a spell effect, forming a very wide coverage area.

After clearly perceiving this slight effect, I also felt a slight influence on myself.

This influence was so small that I couldn't even detect it, but it seemed to manifest when I was thinking about specific things.

So I am even more convinced that the plant technology system of this world is driven by this transcendent item.

Perhaps a single transcendent item is unlikely to do such a thing.

Then if the essence of this transcendent item is [Transcendent Knowledge], then all of this seems to make sense.

This world is using a special method to directly use the "unknown" [Transcendent Knowledge] in the form of a transcendent item to bypass its detailed analysis and directly exert its effect in the form of "revelation."

This seems to be an excellent means of analyzing [Transcendent Knowledge], but it is obvious that this is a miracle that is most likely impossible to be replicated by humans.

Because the formation of a transcendent item is most likely a coincidence.

The items with transcendent power that humans can create are called alchemical items, not transcendent items.

At this moment, the reason I wanted to be separated from Qiu Ruxin was because after confirming the effect of this transcendent item, I needed a stable environment to study it carefully.

Returning to my own bedroom, I sat quietly on my bed.

Time passed little by little, and finally... a composite rune that was very unfamiliar to me appeared in my hand.

This was the rune condensed from the "revelation" I obtained from that [Transcendent Knowledge] by borrowing the effect of the transcendent item.

This was different from the rune I imprinted at Teacher Ji Niang's place.

That was a system rune belonging to the body of [Transcendent Knowledge] that was forcibly and violently imprinted.

And this was a rune formed through its revelation, plus my understanding.

Now, facing this rune, I am no longer as ignorant as I was in the Fool's Village.

At this moment, there was no Academy Head's layout behind me, so I could only rely on myself for all of this.

"Let me see what effect this rune has."
