New concept of the mysterious way to ascend to immortality

Chapter 191 "You have a younger sister!"

Seeing the unexpected reaction from Yuan Zhu and the others, even the mechanical helmet that had been so confident couldn't hold on any longer.

"Hey! What's with your reaction? Wait, aren't you the [Wolf King]? Based on the timeline, you should already have the ability to transform into a 'wolf beast'! Isn't that right?"

Faced with the questioning, Yuan Zhu did not answer, but silently raised his hand, releasing a warm and sacred light from his fingertips. At the crime scene, littered with blood and gore, he appeared particularly charlatan-like.

The latter was immediately speechless, standing there awkwardly, banging his helmet hard, and muttering to himself in confusion, "This shouldn't be! I clearly saw this information; the other party should be the first-generation [Dragon Medicine Recipient]!"

At the same time, Yuan Zhu, who had nothing to do with wolves, also seemed to be deep in thought.

Although the other party's words were utter nonsense and had no connection to the facts, my home address (Running), name (【Candle】), and the details of the sacrificial ritual I encountered all matched. It's just that the subsequent details were completely wrong, but that doesn't necessarily mean it was the other party's fault.

He thought that if the Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture hadn't brought him down with it, the original owner might not have died during the sacrificial ceremony.

However, what corrupted him wasn't necessarily the trashy [Shadow Contamination], but rather another kind of [Wolf-type Evil God]. Then, he was cursed, and lacking the protection of [Soul Firewall + Sprite], he was quickly corrupted, lost control, and then exposed.

So it was perfectly reasonable for them to be captured by the "Wolf School," which was also researching "werewolfs," and then modified into scrap; then they would suffer the same fate as the "Frog School," who would recycle and reuse their waste, subjecting them to a second round of persecution.

It eventually mutated successfully into a 'super individual' and continued to bleed to produce [Dragon Medicine].

It's a tragic little story that fits the underlying logic of the spirit, and he deeply believes that the 'future' the other party mentioned is more reasonable.

On the other side, Meng Xiyue, although she no longer believed the other party's lies, was still very happy and interested in the "Yuan Zhu's Tragic Short Story".

He couldn't help but tease, "Hey, your future is going to be tough, Wolf King! And you over there, Ironhead, what's this 'Dragon Medicine' you're talking about?"

Having failed twice in a row, the mechanical helmet disregarded everything else and answered directly: "【Dragon Medicine】is a type of 【Power Potion】that will soon sweep the West Coast. It is characterized by its ability to accelerate the secondary synthesis of muscle fibers, resulting in additional speed, strength, and explosiveness."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Yuan Zhu a few more times. If the Wolf King hadn't been cursed, but instead cultivated the Holy Light and become even more resistant to defilement, what would happen to his Dragon Medicine?
Hearing this, Yuan Zhu felt equally strange: Damn it, he was just planning to use his Earth knowledge to replicate a batch of animal medicines to benefit the [Frog-type Fitness Enthusiasts]. And now his fate is to become one of the original [Nine Dragon Warriors], even having his blood extracted to synthesize [Super Soldier Serum]?
Is this fate?
Despite escaping the fate of being the "prototype of the first generation of dragon medicine," he still unexpectedly embarked on the path of "making medicine" to benefit the common people.
Yuan Zhu couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of its 'fate, general trend, and timeline'.

Seeing that the group seemed to be pondering and completely treating him as a cheap trickster with no desire to continue the conversation, the mechanical helmet was unwilling to give up and decided to continue revealing information to gain their trust.

Otherwise, side quests will be difficult to complete, and the main quests will likely be in trouble as well.

So he shouted at Yuan Zhu, who was about to turn around and clean up the battlefield, automatically picking up the dead's belongings: "Wait! My prophecy won't be wrong. I've read intelligence about you! Give me time, let me think about it, and I'll convince you!"

"Huh~ Oh?"

Yuan Zhu paused, then adopted a posture that said, 'I'm very curious, please begin your performance,' and politely extended a hand: 'Please!'

This action, this tone, this expression—it's utterly humiliating! For me, a dignified time traveler…

The mechanical helmet began frantically recalling the files it had only glimpsed once.

He had only glanced at it casually at first, which was why he had a vague impression of Yuan Zhu, the first [Dragon Medicine Experiment Subject]. Coupled with the fact that his teammate was also a [Congenital Dragon Medicine Tolerance Saint Body], he paid more attention to this matter.

However, because he hadn't read the file carefully, he didn't know much about the Wolf King.

To gain their trust, he believed there were slight discrepancies and fluctuations in the timeline of the past (present). Such deviations were not unexpected for professional time travelers like them.

What they need to do is uphold the correct direction of the 'historical trend and timeline' at every crucial juncture that determines the course of world events, and confront those evil forces that attempt to rewrite history. As for the other insignificant details, they can be ignored.

As for the 'butterfly effect' mentioned in ancient books, or the idea that every little variable in history accumulates and eventually converges into a force that can reverse the future... these claims are utter nonsense.

Please understand the concept of "the inertia of the timeline." The sacred timeline possesses a powerful self-correcting ability, much like the human immune system. Countless minor deviations and fluctuations are absorbed by the "inertia of historical trends."

Therefore, the problem with the Wolf King is not that big; he was just a minor character to begin with.

The mechanical helmet frantically racked its brains, integrating and applying the knowledge learned in class and the mission experience of the past few years, and then came up with a great idea!

Since the [Yellow Spring Witch] in front of me doesn't believe me, and the [Wolf King's] future and even present are flawed, then let's turn things around and use the events of the past instead of the 'future' to convince him!
Yes!

The future is uncertain, but the past is constant. One must use irrefutable evidence of the 'hidden events' to verify one's authenticity and authority!
Originally, he was completely unfamiliar with the Wolf King's life. But fortunately, he unearthed another file from his memories, which happened to connect with the other person's life.

Then the mechanical helmet jumped out confidently and looked at Yuan Zhu: "You have a younger sister, don't you!"

Yuan Zhu jolted awake. "Damn it, I was wrong again! You third-rate liar!"
Once again in gossip mode, Meng Xiyue, never one to shy away from a good show, asked, in a very playful tone, "Isn't it normal for people to have siblings?" The mechanical helmet replied, "I know about his sister's life trajectory!"

Then he looked at Yuan Zhu: "You and your sister are half-siblings. You raised her from a young age, and you have a very deep bond. After you were captured by the Rain Academy and became a test subject, disappearing without a trace, your sister stopped going to school and went mad, searching for you through the clues you left behind. In the end, to save you, she chose to join the Security Bureau and unexpectedly discovered her exceptional talent for cultivation, becoming a one-in-a-million genius in the Law and Command system."

"However, by the time she finally found you, you had already been tortured to the point of losing your mind and human form, becoming a terrifying 'ultimate divine weapon,' living a life of being exploited and drained of blood to produce medicine every day. You were fed large amounts of supplies daily, your life force was crushed and squeezed out, and you were forced to produce blood to make medicine. In short, when there was trouble, you were a combat weapon, released to fight; when there was no trouble, you were a blood-draining flesh weapon, locked up and drained of blood. Even though you had already taken a half-step to the 'god-demon' rank, your lifespan had been squeezed to less than 20 years. Tragic, tragic, tragic!"

"When your sister found you, you had almost completely lost your rationality and consciousness. She was powerless to awaken you and could only painfully bind you into a [Law-type Weapon/Summoned Beast]. In the days that followed, you consumed a great deal of her energy and resources. Your sister constantly sought medical help everywhere, trying to restore your rationality, which delayed her own cultivation, and her progress in strength was surpassed by other geniuses of the same level. Finally, while dealing with a crisis, she encountered a powerful enemy and was severely injured, and you were lost in that battle."

For a moment, Yuan Zhu was captivated by the little stories the other person told so readily.

In particular, when the other party was briefly recounting this tragic little story, they also inserted a lot of little Easter eggs about the childhood interactions between the brother and sister from the younger sister's perspective.

They spoke with such conviction, as if it were the truth, all to gain people's trust.

However, he was dumbfounded: I had no idea!
Yuan Zhu: "???"

Holy crap, no way! Is my script really this tragic and miserable? And he's a classic, useless, villainous extra, whose main function is to be a summoned beast for his sister? To help her achieve her "Laws"?
Wait a minute! This isn't the point. Where the hell did I get a sister?
Once Yuan Zhu calmed down, he asked, "Where did you get so much information, so much detail?"

Mechanical Helmet: "In a file about your sister, she is described as a rare genius within the New Federation's Security Bureau for the next 20 years. She possesses high moral character, numerous admirers, and strong charisma and leadership skills, and is being groomed as a core seed. After you were taken back by the Security Bureau, you also brought the Dragon Medicine Blood into the Bureau, adding a highly cost-effective 'binding material' to the Investigation Team. The information I provided may have been completely wrong from the moment you began cultivating the Holy Light. However, the story I told, the secrets it reveals, should align with the behavioral patterns between you and your sister. This might not be an alternative ending for you two."

Yuan Zhu's focus was different: Damn it, in the end, I still couldn't escape the fate of being bled dry, right? Finally, I don't have to be bled dry by the [Frog School] anymore, but I've been caught and taken to the [Security Bureau] to continue bling dry for the benefit of the masses?

Taking a deep breath, Yuan Zhu looked at the other person: "Your story is very well told, very touching. However, I don't have a half-sister, only a half-brother. You must have traveled to the wrong world, right?"

The mechanical helmet seemed struck dumb: "What? This is impossible! How old are you?"

"18."

The mechanical helmet stubbornly asked, "Could it be that your timeline shifted eighteen years ago?"

Yuan Zhu: "Couldn't it be that you traveled to the wrong parallel world? Okay, considering how hard you've put on your performance, even if I don't believe it, I'll still give you enough respect. Anyway, let's just assume you're a person from the future who traveled to the wrong parallel world."

Meng Xiyue looked disgusted: "Tch, so he's not a real person from the future. His appeal has instantly diminished by more than half."

"No! Something must be wrong."

Ah Miao interrupted the other party's performance art: "Alright, thankfully we didn't have any expectations of you. Anyway, you've gained our initial trust. Now let's talk about our reward, the cause of this incident, your purpose, and how we should get out of this mess. Also, don't use your so-called 'confidential information about a false future' as payment, telling us how to make money. That's too unreliable. Offer something substantial."

"I……!"

The mechanical helmet was filled with a sense of frustration and powerlessness, and even began to doubt itself. Could it really be an unknown parallel world? But as far as he knew, the 'parallel universe theory' had long been disproven. There had always been only one timeline, which was the [Sacred Timeline]. Otherwise, why would they need to maintain it?
Time is indeed not as simple as we imagine. Those who try to manipulate time often end up being fooled by it.

He quickly adjusted his mindset.

After a series of setbacks, he also became less confident in his 'vision for the future'. So, after hesitating for a moment, he decided to simply reveal it himself:

"The space we are in right now is a closed 'spacetime rift'. Simply put, from a certain moment after you entered the [Astral Bank], the 'spacetime' of the entire bank was temporarily separated from the Spirit Realm and thrown into the [Spirit Realm] for buffering and isolation, forming an independent 'spacetime bubble'."

"The outside of the [Bank] appears to be the [Spirit Realm]. However, it is not the [Spirit Realm] where Taixi City is located at your point in time. Nor is it the [Spirit Realm] of the future. Instead, it is in a disordered state similar to the [Nightmare Bubble Layer], which is why you cannot escape. Once you leave the [Bank], you will be lost in the fog of time. The good news is that this 'space-time rift' cannot last long. Theoretically, it can only last for 3 hours, and 1 hour and 20 minutes have already passed."

"As for our mission, it is to arrive at the current time and space, and at this point in time, to prevent an important item from falling into the hands of the Buddhist forces and to correct the course of history. The bad thing is that the strength of this Buddhist being far exceeds the level of the [Gate]. Therefore, after the 'time-space rift' is formed, this closed and independent 'time-space bubble' not only buffers the impact of the outside world in the [Spirit Realm], but also connects to the root of the Buddhist pollution behind the [Gate]."

"The [Gate] is a 'connector' that connects to the roots of Buddhism. Although the other side cannot directly send forces to invade, they can cross the ambiguous timeline and send power into the [Gate] to infiltrate it. This is why there is a continuous stream of 'Buddha Cocoon Parasites' being hatched. That Buddhist powerhouse can temporarily mobilize endless energy (the power is limited by the [Gate]) to hatch and strengthen the [Buddha Cocoon]... If left unchecked, the power flowing out of the [Gate] will continue to spread and erode this fault line little by little, and our situation will become increasingly passive."

Meng Xiyue: "Oh! I roughly understand. As long as I keep enduring these last hour and forty minutes, I can go home, right?"

The mechanical helmet retorted: "It's not that simple. If this point in time isn't corrected, the course of your world will shift microscopically, overturning the fates of many."

Meng Xiyue, however, remained fearless: "But we live in the present. You're the ones who should be worried. Whether the timeline changes or not has no impact on me right now. In fact, it's a good thing. At least this fool won't have to be dragged out for a blood test..."

Yuan Zhu: I advise you to be polite!
