Infinite Future
"Twelve ' Higher Self '?"
The boy's eyes suddenly widened, and he vaguely realized something.
Dr. House smiled.
"However, your ' Higher Self,' Qin Yiguan, is growing along with you."
"You are like a life form in this world that started from scratch."
"Although your ' Higher Self ' has not yet fully formed, you possess Infinity potential."
"Unlike us, you don't have to go to great lengths and endure countless hardships to meet that Fusion Rate threshold before you can see your ' Higher Self '."
"Because your ' Higher Self ' is your twelve personalities!"
Dr. House looked at the candy in front of the boy. "Child, you are your ' Higher Self.' Black Calamity wasn't the murderer of your parents; he was one of your ' Higher Self.' Every personality of yours is a ' Higher Self '!"
Qin Yiguan stared blankly at the candy in front of him, lost in thought.
Dr. House then said, "You can understand my ' Higher Self ' as the complete form, and it only has one ability: to bring my ' Grant Sleep ' to its fullest potential."
"You, Qin Yiguan, are completely different. Your twelve personalities... when they grow to a certain level, their terrifying nature is beyond my comprehension, isn't it?"
Qin Yiguan felt a chill run down his spine.
Upon closer examination, the Child's abilities involve space, the Boundless One involve time, the Plunderer can replicate others, the Black Calamity can create things out of thin air, Victim are immortal... Is the Guardian a super defense?
Besides these, he also has several other personalities with unknown abilities!
Dr. House looked quietly at Qin Yiguan. "You asked me before whether No. 1 actually exists. I'm telling you now, it does, and it's the fastest growing of your twelve ' Higher Self '."
Qin Yiguan frowned. "No. 1 is carrying a lantern containing twelve personalities, including mine. We are not equal; he is ' Qin Yiguan,' and I am merely one of his personalities."
No, you're all starting from the same point.
Dr. House's eyes flickered. "Yiguan, you've overlooked an important issue."
Don't forget, you are a complete person in yourself.
"So."
You have a total of 13 personalities.
Dr. House explained, word by word, "Once you exclude yourself, you can see twelve personalities, or twelve ' Higher Self '."
"Similarly, No. 1 also has 12 personalities, and you are one of them. However, you are a leader and have already acquired some means to control the other personalities."
Qin Yiguan suddenly realized something, "In other words, No. 1 looking at me is similar to me looking at Black Calamity."
Dr. House nodded. "That's the feeling."
Qin Yiguan suddenly understood.
yes.
The world doesn't revolve around me; everyone is the center of their own destiny.
Much later.
Qin Yiguan frowned and asked, "Then... who exactly is the dominant personality?"
You've fallen into a flawed logic.
Dr. House wisely remarked, "The order in which personalities are born may differ, but the birth of each personality has its necessary reason; as the saying goes, existence is its own justification."
"And what you call the dominant personality is nothing more than the person who rules over everything."
"This is a 'race,' and the ultimate champion is still undecided."
"If one day, the other 12 personalities all become your ' Higher Self,' willing to accept your command and unconditionally help you, then you will be the dominant personality! At the same time, you will become a super strong person with twelve ' Higher Self.'"
Qin Yiguan's eyes widened slightly, a glint in them. "In other words, we are in a contest. The loser will become someone else's tool, while the winner will possess everything!"
Immediately.
Qin Yiguan pondered for a moment and said, "As for now, No. 1 has already seen through all of this. As for me, I am fortunate to have received your reminder. However, Black Calamity and the Child are very likely still unaware of this matter."
Dr. House said, "Speaking of which, there's a 'war of the gods' going on in your brain too."
Qin Yiguan grew increasingly fascinated. "The War of the Gods? What do you mean by that?"
"Your twelve personalities each have different purposes. For example, ' Guardian ' aspires to assist you and is willing to provide you with help. Similarly, there are other personalities that do not want to see this scene and may be secretly plotting something."
The Qin Yiguan was now clear.
He remembered that during the battle with the wolves, the Guardian had 'possessed' him, but the rock-solid Guardian had a through-and-through wound in his chest.
"As I said before, your personality developed from scratch."
Dr. House suddenly added, "Based on my understanding of it, their Fusion Rate is not over 100%."
Qin Yiguan nodded. "I remember Black Calamity said that it entered the Experimental Zone three years ago, and its current Fusion Rate is 89%. Its ability is [Gestalt Collapse]."
Dr. House looked at the boy. "As far as I know, among the personalities you've currently manifested, Child is the strongest, Guardian is second, Black Calamity is third, and the Boundless One's attributes are special and cannot be defined."
Qin Yiguan was taken aback. "How do you know so much?"
Dr. House smiled. "I saw them when I examined you."
"Have you seen them...?"
Qin Yiguan immediately understood. He had always thought that Dr. House would hypnotize him during the diagnosis, but now it seemed that he was the one who was 'squeezed' out of his body.
The young man gave a wry smile. "I'm ashamed to say, I know myself worse than you do."
Dr. House shook his head and smiled, "Everyone has their own expertise."
After a long silence, Qin Yiguan asked again, "What about No. 1? What is its strength?"
"I can't tell."
Dr. House frowned slightly. "Neither I nor my ' Higher Self ' can perceive its strength. The reason is simple: No. 1 is more than one order of magnitude higher than us."
Qin Yiguan frowned, his expression suddenly turning serious.
There was another long silence.
Qin Yiguan gazed into the distance. "Since my personalities are all growing independently, it means that No. 1 is very likely living somewhere far away in the Metaverse, and is frantically improving itself. Its ultimate goal is to control other personalities... and it really knows the truth about my adoptive parents' murder."
Dr. House nodded slowly.
"If I cannot surpass it, I will become its tool and lose myself."
Qin Yiguan murmured, "Just how strong is No. 1?"
"Wrong."
Qin Yiguan suddenly frowned, "No. 1, it told me it has no Fusion Rate."
"Above 100%, it's no longer considered Fusion Rate."
"In other words, the data from No. 1 has entered another phase."
Dr. House suddenly spoke.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yiguan immediately sensed something was wrong.
--Above 100%?
--Another phase?
Dr. House unfolded his virtual panel, swiped his finger, and the virtual panel floated in front of Qin Yiguan.
Qin Yiguan was stunned; Dr. House actually had two different values.
' Fusion Rate: 100%'
' Separation Rate: 1%'
Qin Yiguan squinted, "Separation Rate?!"
"That's right."
Dr. House said, "No one could have imagined that the first stage of entering the Metaverse is fusion, while the second stage is stripping away!"
Qin Yiguan was stunned again. The amount of information he had received today was simply explosive, and it kept overturning his understanding!
"The logic of the Metaverse should be like this."
Dr. House slowly explained, "In the first stage, it aims to increase people's Fusion Rate, allowing them to perfectly blend into the virtual world it creates. Here, consciousness is the foundation, and people will have the opportunity to awaken their potential and gradually understand the secrets of consciousness."
"In the second phase, the Gemini Superbrain hopes that people will 'detach' and become independent beings, no longer dependent on the Metaverse. Perhaps after the Separation Rate reaches 100%, all your awakened abilities can appear in the real world!"
In that instant.
Qin Yiguan suddenly thought of the Boundless One.
If we consider it as a skill, then wouldn't it mean... that humans would need to first increase the Fusion Rate to 100%, and then increase the Separation Rate to 100% before they could possess such a skill?
We regard our "Higher Self" as a deity.
Dr. House looked at you and said, "And you not only possess twelve Higher Self, but many of their abilities are unparalleled and surpass everyone else! Furthermore, you don't need to raise your Fusion Rate to 100% to foresee your ' Higher Self,' and in fact, you have borrowed the power of your ' Higher Self ' multiple times in the past."
"Although those powers are not yet strong enough, you have undoubtedly taken a shortcut that others dream of."
"Of course, while enjoying everything, you also bear a risk: being devoured by an entity like No. 1, or even completely controlled."
"Yiguan, do you understand?"
"You hold the key to an unlimited Future."
"You are entangled in various crises that ordinary people cannot comprehend."
Your life will be full of challenges, and it will be exciting and interesting!
For some reason, the usually gentle Dr. House's eyes were now filled with obsession and passion.
But Qin Yiguan was still looking into the distance, thinking, "No. 1 is far ahead. How can I 'outrun' it?"
Dr. House shook his head. "Isn't it a bit early to admit defeat?"
Do you remember what I said?
"A consciousness has descended upon you; it has chosen you and become 'I AM THIS'."
What does "I AM THIS" mean?
Qin Yiguan lowered his head slightly, but his eyes gleamed. "That is me, the 'me' with immense potential! It descended upon me because I will become the strongest 'me'!"
