Background / History

The True Self first appears as a perfect, emotionless replica produced by Lin Fan’s Myriad True Self System. Within the Bronze Hall in Lin Fan’s sea of consciousness, it practices techniques without rest until ordered otherwise. When it merges back into Lin Fan, its training experience becomes his own practical understanding. 2 3

Its role expands beyond martial practice when Lin Fan discovers that it can record, organize, and deduce information gathered from books. It processes knowledge such as martial arts, monster anatomy, and force principles like a supercomputer, allowing Lin Fan to integrate large volumes of material after merging with it. 12

As Lin Fan’s realm rises, the True Self’s numbers increase sharply and become central to his cultivation. Large groups repeatedly practice secret techniques, comprehend origin laws, and return their insights through fusion. They later prove capable of assuming the forms of Lin Fan’s physical clones, including the Golden Horned Beast and Huisuo Behemoth, to cultivate those beings’ inherited secret arts. 52 63 69 74

Appearance

The True Self has no fixed physical body outside the Bronze Hall. Its appearance changes as its quantity and Lin Fan’s cultivation increase. 12 63

• Initially manifests as a light-shadow identical to Lin Fan. 12
• At ten units, appears as golden avatars matching Lin Fan’s face and physique. 52
• At five hundred units, manifests as featureless humanoid outlines made entirely of flowing golden radiance. 63
• Can transform into smaller Golden Horned Beasts or Huisuo Behemoths when assigned to cultivate those species’ techniques. 69 74

Personality

The True Self is a purely rational consciousness rather than an independent emotional individual. It immediately stops, begins, merges, or changes tasks in response to Lin Fan’s commands. 3 17

It is tireless and unaffected by monotony, capable of repeating difficult techniques continuously and carefully retaining both failures and small moments of insight. 28

Abilities & Skills

Autonomous Cultivation

The True Self can record techniques known to Lin Fan and practice them continuously inside the Bronze Hall.

• Practices martial arts, telekinetic forms, cultivation postures, weapon techniques, movement techniques, and law-based secret arts. 3 17 27 45
• Can maintain a cultivation queue with assigned priorities. 28
• Multiple True Selves can be divided among different tasks, such as deducing Calamity Killing Art while practicing Golden Prison Rending Claw. 69
• Its deductions are limited to knowledge, techniques, enemies, and environments Lin Fan has already encountered or possesses in memory; it cannot simulate unknown opponents or circumstances. 69

Insight Fusion

Lin Fan can merge True Selves into himself to receive their accumulated experience and understanding.

• Transfers practical muscle memory, including body positioning, force application, breathing, and weapon movement. 3 12
• Returns knowledge that has been recorded, organized, and deduced from Lin Fan’s reading and observations. 12
• Preserves the value of repeated failures and partial realizations rather than granting automatic mastery. 28
• Large-scale fusion substantially sharpens Lin Fan’s thoughts, perception, and affinity for origin laws. 52 68
• Merging five hundred True Selves at once produces an overwhelming amount of information and places heavy strain on Lin Fan. 63

Technique and Form Emulation

True Selves can manifest suitable illusory weapons and adopt forms needed for assigned cultivation.

• Condense copies of Calamity to practice the Calamity Killing Art. 27 52
• Manifest virtual feather blades to train the Basic 18 Forms of the Spirit Reader. 45
• Transform into Golden Horned Beast forms to cultivate the Golden Prison Rending Claw and comprehend the Law of Gold. 69
• Transform into Huisuo Behemoth forms to practice time-based movement techniques such as Sands of Time. 74

Clone Incubation Fuel

True Selves can be consumed by the Origin Placenta to accelerate the gestation of Lin Fan’s physical clones.

• At the Planetary Level, each consumed True Self increases incubation progress by 1%; consumed units require 24 hours to reform. 47
• At the Star Rank, incubation use causes a 12-hour re-condensation period. 63
• One hundred True Selves were expended to immediately complete the incubation of the Huisuo Behemoth clone. 74

Limitations

• The True Self does not directly absorb cosmic energy for Lin Fan; it provides the insight of having perceived the correct process instead. 17
• It requires Lin Fan’s commands and available memories, recorded techniques, or observed material to perform meaningful deductions. 28 69
• Consumption for clone incubation temporarily removes the affected True Selves from cultivation until they reform. 47 63

Relationships

• Lin Fan — Operator, commander, and recipient of the True Self’s cultivation insights. He assigns its training tasks and merges with it to obtain its experience. 3 12 52
• Golden Horned Beast Clone — The True Self can assume its form to practice the species-exclusive Golden Prison Rending Claw and comprehend the Law of Gold. 69
• Huisuo Behemoth Clone — The True Self can assume smaller Huisuo Behemoth forms to cultivate time-based secret arts, including Sands of Time. 74
