"It was actually this..."
Wang Qi murmured.
To be honest, this was something he had wanted to do many years ago.
The follow-up to the first of Ximen's Twenty-Three Questions—the continuum hypothesis.
In other words, the question of the difference between "infinity" and "infinity."
Pure mathematics with infinity as its object of study.
Wang Qi remembered clearly that before he had gone to Linghuang Island, he had popularized the concept of "self-reference" through Silver-Winged Assassin. Then, riding that favorable wind, Su Junyu had completed a basic proof of the continuum hypothesis.
That was a genuine Free and Unfettered-level achievement.
It was precisely because of this that Su Junyu had gained the capital to continue delving into the School of Separation and cooperate with Wang Qi in promoting the Myriad Image Hexagram Script.
This could roughly be considered part of the same line of work.
If "Calculation of the Incomplete" had not been even more dazzling back then, Su Junyu would certainly have become the foremost disciple of their generation.
But Wang Qi knew that the follow-up to the continuum hypothesis contained several utterly remarkable achievements.
Back then, he had sworn solemnly that he would tackle them.
But...
Wang Qi awkwardly realized that even with a cultivator's memory, there were simply too many things to keep track of.
He really had thrown those matters to the back of his mind.
The reason...
"Was it because I slew a Mahayana cultivator while at the Golden Core stage, got carried away, swelled up, and then forgot all about it..."
Wang Qi muttered.
—Anyway, it was all those ancient-method monkeys' fault!
"What?" Zhao Qingtan asked, somewhat puzzled.
Wang Qi shook his head and thought for a moment.
Jokes aside, he really did have a reason for putting it out of his mind.
That reason
