The World Beyond the Limit

"Dr. House?"

Qin Yiguan called out.

The enormous figure bowed its head slightly, as if struck by thunder.

The boy breathed a sigh of relief, glancing at the enormous, godlike figure. Dr. House's response indicated that it was an illusion.

but.

Even though I knew it was an illusion.

The figure still gave off an incredibly real and strange feeling; it wasn't a feeling of oppression, but rather a feeling of... looking down.

right.

It's a bird's-eye view.

It seems to be a superior being; it doesn't make any fuss or exude any aura, but simply appears and gives people a feeling of looking down upon it.

He is neither a god nor God, and has no mythological aura. He is like a higher-dimensional being, carrying a sense of the origin of life. He can see through all lower-dimensional beings without even needing to look at them, and you cannot hide any secrets from him.

at the same time.

Qin Yiguan could still sense a fact deep down.

Dr. House is incredibly powerful.

The boy paused, then spoke with reverence, "Dr. House, I've come to inquire about the secret of 100% Fusion Rate. Forgive my ignorance, but I don't quite understand why you showed me this illusion."

"It's an illusion, and it's not an illusion."

But Dr. House appeared not far in front of the boy, with a light laugh.

In that instant.

The surrounding scenery changes.

The giant disappeared.

Qin Yiguan had somehow reached the top of the verdant hillside and was standing in front of Dr. House's clinic.

Dr. House slowly extended his hand, "Please come in."

"Dr. House."

Qin Yiguan sat at his desk in a patient's chair. "Excuse me, what is your Fusion Rate? Of course, you can keep it confidential."

Dr. House sat casually in his chair. "101%."

"Um???"

Qin Yiguan was taken aback.

He had already made his boldest prediction: that Dr. House's Fusion Rate would be 100%, which was already an astonishing number. Now, it's increased by one point, which is even more astonishing than astonishing!

101%?

What does this mean?!

But Dr. House interlaced his fingers and said calmly, "Yesterday it was 100%, but after helping you defeat Lu Zun, it increased by one percentage point, and now it's 101%."

"Can it even break through 100%?!"

Qin Yiguan's eyes widened slightly, and in an instant, he recalled the words he had just used to mock the Meinan. The clown was actually... refusing to admit it, it must be Jingye Meinan.

And at this very moment.

Qin Yiguan thought of a ridiculous fact.

Lu Zun and Zhong Yi had gone to great lengths and spent their entire lives trying to achieve 100% Fusion Rate, but unexpectedly Dr. House had already achieved it quietly and even surpassed it!

I wonder if Lu Zun knows about this. If he does, he'll be dying with tears in his eyes!

But then Dr. House took out a dish of sugar cubes and slowly pushed it toward Qin Yiguan.

Qin Yiguan understood Dr. House's intention, nodded, and said thank you.

Dr. House could see the urgency in Qin Yiguan's eyes, and smiled calmly, "You really want to know what will happen after reaching 100% Fusion Rate."

"It's actually not easy to describe."

"Furthermore, that extra point I have isn't strictly speaking Fusion Rate."

But Qin Yiguan straightened his posture and said, "Dr. House, your chair is very comfortable. I can sit here Infinity, and listen Infinity."

Dr. House smiled gently, "Whether the Fusion Rate reaches 100% and it can achieve immortality as Lu Zun imagined... I don't know."

"But I know very well that I have not become Digital Human, nor have I merged with the Gemini Metaverse, nor have I seen the legendary Gemini Superbrain in its true form."

"That's all I know."

"You will reach a turning point, a watershed moment, and then you will see another version of yourself."

Qin Yiguan's eyes widened slightly, "Another version of myself?"

"That's right."

Dr. House leaned back in his chair, squinting, and said, "We, all those who have reached 100% Fusion Rate, call it the ' Higher Self '."

"Higher Self"?

Qin Yiguan inexplicably felt a chill run down his spine. This word conveyed a very special meaning, a mysterious and powerful emotion enveloping his heart.

Dr. House slowly said, "The prefrontal cortex of the brain, that's where human emotions are controlled. In its eyes, you've never controlled yourself; you're a creature manipulated by emotions. Hidden in the prefrontal cortex is a true heart, a higher dimension of yourself."

"It controls both hemispheres of your brain, giving you unprecedented creativity, emotions that transcend all limits, an imaginative ability to break all boundaries and achieve revolutionary results with a wave of your hand, and unparalleled resilience... as well as many unimaginable potentials."

In other words, the "Higher Self" resides in the prefrontal cortex of the human brain.

Qin Yiguan was somewhat stunned, feeling that Dr. House's words were incredibly profound.

"Everyone has a ' Higher Self '."

"But only in this Metaverse, after the Fusion Rate reaches 100%, can people see their ' Higher Self '."

"This is thanks to the Gemini Superbrain's development of human consciousness."

Dr. House looked at the boy, "After the Fusion Rate reached 100%, I gained a new ability: to request the assistance of my Higher Self '."

"The assistance of the ' Higher Self '!?"

Qin Yiguan was stunned. "So, after the Fusion Rate reaches 100%, what actually happens is—activating the ' Higher Self '? You mentioned 'you all' earlier? Have many people reached 100% Fusion Rate?"

"The enormous figure you saw earlier was my ' Higher Self '."

"The tangible manifestation of Jiang Mingshu is Chen Mudou's ' Higher Self '."

Dr. House said slowly, "There aren't many people who have reached 100% Fusion Rate; in the entire Metaverse, there are no more than ten."

"Etc!"

Qin Yiguan's eyes widened. "Chen Mudou... her Fusion Rate has reached 100%?"

Dr. House smiled enigmatically and said, "She just doesn't know it yet."

Qin Yiguan felt that all of this was becoming increasingly bizarre. "What exactly is this ' Higher Self,' and where does it come from?"

Dr. House paused for a moment, then continued, "My Higher Self gave me some information."

Qin Yiguan looked on with curiosity, "Can the ' Higher Self ' really communicate with you?"

"Certainly."

Dr. House straightened his white coat. "In psychology, the ' Higher Self ' is a proven definition. It's a higher consciousness dormant within you, possessing subconscious attributes, tens of thousands of times greater power than the conscious mind, and supernatural properties. Its powerful sixth sense can even foresee the Future. It has an extraordinary memory; it won't ignore what you ignore, and it won't forget what you forget. This makes it highly knowledgeable and intelligent. It possesses a strong defensive consciousness, and no one can detect its existence."

"'Higher' means higher dimension, 'I' is yourself, ' Higher Self ' is your higher-dimensional self."

Qin Yiguan was taken aback.

There's a 'person' hidden in the prefrontal cortex...

That sounds so unbelievable.

However, humans know absolutely nothing about their own brains.

Dr. House added, "My ' Higher Self ' sent me a picture."

"Humanity's true form is not this 'temporary physical body,' but a consciousness, a higher-dimensional being, in which time and space are not constraints."

"In order to explore the unknown, they will constantly split into clusters of consciousness."

"Then, various 'sub-consciousness clusters' drifted throughout the universe."

They all refer to themselves as "I AM".

"One of them, across countless timelines, chose your current physical body, and they became 'I AM THIS.' It believes that you are the 'I' with immense potential, the 'I' who will become the strongest being."

"Then, they regenerated, learned new things, developed new personalities, and became who you are today."

"The 'mother consciousness' that existed before the split is your ' Higher Self,' and it has always maintained a connection with you."

"However, many people spend their entire lives without ever realizing the existence of their ' Higher Self.'"

Qin Yiguan felt a slight blush creep down his face. "Behind us... no, in the prefrontal cortex of our brains, lies a more powerful me? A me of a higher dimension?"

Dr. House nodded. "Some people also call it 'potential,' 'subconscious,' 'explosive power,' 'sixth sense,' 'adrenaline effect,' and so on. Of course, that's a very narrow view."

Qin Yiguan frowned deeply, "This..."

Dr. House smiled. "In dreams, you can see your own actions, and you can also see the actions of others. That state is very mysterious, as if both first-person and third-person perspectives are focused on you. In fact, you are sharing the perspective of your ' Higher Self '."

"The voice that arises in your heart when you read is the reading from your ' Higher Self '."

"The Future you foresee in the unseen realm is a reminder given to you by your ' Higher Self '."

Qin Yiguan stared wide-eyed. "So, you're saying I also have a ' Higher Self?"

Dr. House smiled calmly and said something startling, "You're different from everyone else; you have twelve ' Higher Self '."
