Chapter 285. Partial Omniscience
When complete darkness descended, Jiang Jianxin's first sensation was a severe headache, as if the entire world was spinning and collapsing.

Immediately afterwards, countless chaotic murmurs flooded her mind like a tidal wave. They were indistinct, yet possessed a dizzying power that threatened to tear her consciousness apart.

Just when she could barely hold on, the darkness before her eyes was suddenly torn apart by a blinding light—she felt as if she had fallen into a giant kaleidoscope, her vision filled with colorful fragments, like countless shattered mirrors.

In each of the mirrors, an eye suddenly opened. Countless gazes, cold and sharp, fell from all directions, locking onto her consciousness.

"what……"

In that instant, it felt as if a bright light shone into my brain, causing my entire brain to throb rapidly.

The world is trembling, spinning, stretching, falling, and even curling into a line.

Jiang Jianxin clutched her head in anguish, her remaining sanity making her realize that she was being subjected to some kind of powerful mental attack.

On the verge of losing consciousness, she used the last shred of clarity to call upon the instincts hidden deep within her mind:
"The answer is truth...help me."

Because of the intense pain, her cries for help were very weak, but the answer was a chilling truth.

As an omniscient truth, it can see the past and naturally feels the watchful eye from ten years ago, which has traversed the river of time to gaze upon it as this statement is uttered.

It's clear that this super-long thread's foresight is acting like a supervisor, urging it to do its job.

[This is difficult to handle; there's a high concentration of psychological pollution in this contaminated area.]

He answered intuitively and sincerely.

[To resist this level of pollution, with the current signal strength, I cannot transmit enough power.]

Mental pollution is highly aggressive, and since its true form is outside the domain, a sufficiently strong connection is indeed needed to get it to intervene.

Jiang Jianxin understood its meaning. With a soft "hum," she unhesitatingly summoned the Tangguang Sword from her pocket, preparing to strike herself, when her intuition told her:
[Wait... don't rush to do it yet. Let me tell you something important first. There's something else you need to think about carefully.]

Intuition warned as clearly as possible:

I am a branch of truth; the stronger your signal to me, the closer you are to the truth.

Humans who get too close to the truth... easily lose their self-awareness and are assimilated by the truth.

"Intuition tells me."

Ultimately, truth is nothing more than a source of pollution that is more in line with our understanding and thus more legitimately existing.

You need to think carefully about whether you want to take another step towards it.

What intuition didn't say was that although Jiang Jianxin's death would bring her closer to the truth, it was uncertain whether she would be assimilated by the truth.

Because she was on a two-lane road, at the end of which, besides truth, also stood death.

Her repeated deaths will bring her closer to the truth, and also closer to her own throne of death.

—Whether they will be submerged in the truth first, or return to becoming death, is really hard to say.

It didn't mention this matter not because it intentionally concealed it, but because the latter is above the truth, and as a branch of the truth, it cannot arbitrarily mention the God who is above the truth.

Even the omniscient knew not the outcome of this matter.

For things that have no answer, the answer and the truth will skip over them according to the rules.

The pain in her head left Jiang Jianxin no time to think too much; she simply said:
I understand, I believe in prophets.

Everyone in the world is capable of betrayal, but you will never betray yourself.

The boy would remember sending her a rainbow when he wrote the letter, helping her avoid danger and arranging a bright future for her.

In novels, the protagonists often have a personal old lady who gives them special advantages. Jiang Jianxin doesn't envy them because she clearly understands that she is just an ordinary girl, and there aren't that many personal old ladies in the world who like to help ordinary girls.

For an ordinary person like her, her greatest asset is herself.

That girl who started planning and strategizing from a young age became her biggest support in the future.

"Om——"

Driven by Jiang Jianxin, Tangguang Sword pierced straight for his heart.

Just as it was about to touch, a black and gold magic circle suddenly unfolded, forcefully blocking the sword tip.

Just like before, the magic circle's light burst forth like thorns, piercing through her body. She shattered, turning into countless drifting golden specks of light.

This time, there wasn't even time to erect a tombstone. The golden light scattered for less than half a minute before, as if drawn by some powerful force, it quickly reversed and converged—she was revived once more.

The signal has strengthened, and your respawn speed is getting faster.

A new cycle of life begins, my intuition tells me.

The latter phenomenon was a good thing for Jiang Jianxin, but she herself did not realize it.

The rapid death and resurrection made her relive the pain of being contaminated. The world became sticky and droopy again. She covered her head and mumbled:
"quick--"

"Om..."

The power of the answer and the truth surged forth at this moment.

Jiang Jianxin had witnessed many kinds of power—light as the wind, powerful and vigorous, or deathly still and silent. But none of them had ever been as serene as this.

It's like a pot of freshly boiled water, lukewarm and even tasteless; or like bottled water readily available on a supermarket shelf, offering no distinct sensation.

But the moment it surged in, Jiang Jianxin felt as if he had turned into a completely dry sponge, every inch of his "self" frantically and greedily craving more...

--wisdom.

Omniscience is in fact the superposition and resonance of countless pieces of knowledge. It's like the early morning that arrives after studying all night—your eyes are tired, your vision is blurred, but you still gaze at the first light of dawn outside the window.

At that time, my mind was full of abundance, and my heart was filled with a kind of blissful tranquility.

It is the thrill of having one's mind completely ignited, the euphoria of suddenly gaining a thorough understanding, and the most profound temptation that all seekers of knowledge are willing to indulge in.

It is not like the lonely and lengthy process of foreknowledge, but rather a vast and boundless journey of endless learning.

The moment this power awakened in her consciousness, Jiang Jianxin felt her entire field of vision suddenly expand and broaden.

The kaleidoscope-like, mesmerizing scene before my eyes quickly faded and crumbled under the onslaught of the omniscient torrent.

For the first time, Jiang Jianxin "saw" two spiritual forces clashing fiercely in his consciousness.

They really do fight in her mind, and her vision becomes the most direct battle report interface—sometimes like accidentally eating a poisonous mushroom, pulling out long, distorted, bizarre illusions; and sometimes suddenly pulling away, restoring a brief but hazy clarity.

That omniscient power, as gentle as plain water, continued to wash over her mind, as if cleansing away the filth that obscured her understanding, gradually revealing a more expansive and magnificent picture behind it.

She saw the world expanding and churning, like a giant revolving lantern beginning to turn.

Even under a single sliver of omniscient light, Tingyu Tan was illuminated with perfect clarity. Through this brief moment of clarity, Jiang Jianxin truly saw Tingyu Tan—

Or rather, it is a story of listening to the rain throughout the entire historical timeline.

Wow, I usually post on Twitter at the end of the month, but this time I suddenly posted it at the beginning of the month. The editor-in-chief strongly recommended it on September 5th, and I posted two updates on the day it was posted.

For those who want to experience the taste of plain water, turn off your phone and do some advanced calculus, linear algebra, and complex analysis. You'll understand once you start.
