How exactly was he supposed to strengthen the "father-son bond" and, in turn, strengthen that "causal line"?
Lynn spent an entire day thinking about that question.
The Stellar Orbit Fragment recognized only fates that truly existed. He had to produce something real before he could activate and use it.
But he could not be certain whether he and Lin Chen truly had that father-son causal line between them.
If they did not, the fragment would be nothing more than scrap.
And if they did, how was he supposed to dig it out from beneath all those stray thoughts?
His first idea was to brainwash himself directly.
For a Stigma Wizard, altering one's own self-perception was not difficult.
He could implant a suggestion into his soul, forcibly making the identity of "father" incomparably important.
As long as his soul was strong enough, such a suggestion could last a very long time.
Lynn acted as soon as he thought of it.
Sitting before the experimental table, he used soul threads to construct a seed of directed suggestion within his consciousness.
Once the seed took shape, he stared at it for several seconds. After thinking it over, he ultimately chose not to plant it.
"If the fragment recognizes only what is real, this fake definitely won't pass."
Lynn dispersed the suggestion seed and cursed.
"This thing can't even fool me. How could it possibly fool fate?"
Brainwashing used false consciousness to overwrite true consciousness, but what he needed were genuine emotions.
Just as Xing Jian had said, it had to be something he already possessed but had always overlooked.
Lynn changed his approach.
Since he could not brainwash himself, he might as well create an "illusion" and simulate it all once—play at virtual reality to strengthen this "father-son bond."
The simulation might be
