Soul Of Negary - Chapter 327

327: Vol4 Ch52: Self-replication Experiment

Translator: La0o9

Unsurprisingly, Xu Fu completely imploded as his past was continuously changed by the members of the Ultra Space-Time Squad.

For example, saving his companion from him, stopping him from coming into contact with the mask in the first place, as well as various other means to change his beliefs, turning him into a Holy Mother1 kind of character.

As his past was being changed, the current Xu Fu could clearly sense another ‘himself’ awakening within his body as his personality was being erased bit by bit.

If my personality is changed against my will, would I still remain ‘me’?

Xu Fu’s bright red aura was swiftly disappearing, his Error, also known as his Personal Truth, was quickly being removed, because it didn’t fit this world’s ‘Truth’.

“For an individual to exist and survive in society, they must carry the correct sense of value, they must know to respect others and cater to their emotions, as well as understanding common social etiquette”

“You cannot appear to be too individualistic, that would only single you out as an odd person, you need to follow the rules of the world because that is correct”

“Otherwise, you clashing with the rules of society would only result in yourself getting hurt, the better you adhere to this world’s rules, the better your life shall be”

“Even if certain rules are ‘incorrect’, while the majority of people follow and adhere to those rules, they are correct”

“Being correct allows you to live a leisurely life, being an error would only result in your own fall, becoming an isolated entity from society, a loser, unnecessary garbage in this world”

“The world belongs to the majority, and you are insignificant in front of the majority”

In Xu Fu’s head, a normal ‘Xu Fu’ appeared, wearing a gentle smile on his face. Even while he was a soul, he had still purposely kept himself well-groomed with a perfectly ironed suit and carefully combed hair, clearly an elite of society.

His connections were vast, he understood the art and philosophy of mutual favors, he held immeasurable amounts of wealth, authority, and resources. He enjoyed the benefits of society, a man above men, a single order from him could drive countless others to fulfil his work, even the undead Progenitor Xu Fu might not live a life as leisurely as he did.

He was the supreme-ruler of this world because he had become one with it, being extremely familiar with the rules and laws that governed the world. In every way, Aura Summation was a top-quality cultivation method, its three steps being sufficient for anyone to become a supreme-ruler, even if they were part of a completely mundane world without any supernatural powers.

First, assume full control of oneself through various types of training, then find power in the world suitable for oneself and infuse it into one’s body. Finally, by understanding the ‘Truth’ or ‘Correctness’ of the world, one would infuse oneself into the world and adhere to that Truth, at which point one would become that world’s ‘God’.

“I am correct. People are only human, we are feeble and weak, our Personal Truths do not matter. If something goes against the common values of the world, it is considered an Error, and to stubbornly insist on Personal Truth is foolish. Since ‘I’ am a smart person, I’m sure you won’t refuse ‘me’”

The other ‘himself’ smiled to Xu Fu in his head: “It’s time to face reality, haven’t you realized that you are becoming increasingly weaker? This is how the world is, cruel and impersonal, it does not tolerate those who go against it”

“I am what you should have turned out to be”

Xu Fu’s body began to twitch, another ‘Xu Fu’ ripped open his stomach and emerged, stealing parts of Xu Fu’s body bit by bit without any qualms while smiling gracefully: “The ‘Truth’ that you pursue is nothing but garbage to me”

“Bullshit!” Xu Fu’s body was struck by a beam of energy under Mi Ze’s control, the massive energy broke his defenses open. Xu Fu could no longer obtain any resources from this world, falling into the so-called bottom of despair.

“You might be ‘correct’, but compared to my pursuit, this world’s Truth is the real garbage!” a majority of Xu Fu’s body had already been taken by his ‘correct’ self, leaving only a small mass of glowing red light, so feeble that it could be blown out by a small breeze.

This mass of red was extremely pure and profoundly beautiful, but that didn’t change the fact that he was about to be destroyed.

Xu Fu’s consciousness was continuously fading away, but as an individual favored by Negary, while he insisted on his Personal Truth and cut off the connection with his past self, he successfully became a person without a past.

For that very reason, Xu Fu successfully broke through the limits of the world, witnessing the world under a completely unprecedented vision, parallel worlds of boundless light and colors, as well as the behemoth that resided above it all.

Only by becoming a completely new self could I break through the world’s limit?

Xu Fu felt enlightened. By discarding his past and embracing a better and more perfect ‘self’, he had become closer to Negary unlike never before, at the same time, gaining an understanding of what kind of existence Negary was.

Negary was a way of thinking, a concept, both the Truth and the ultimate pursuit for people like him.

To continuously break through one’s limit, eternally moving forwards, pursuing a more perfect self.

As for what would be considered ‘better’ and ‘more perfect’, that depended on one’s Personal Truth, and not the World’s Truth. There was certainly a need to understand the World’s Truth as well, not to conform and fuse with it, but to change it.

An entity that uses its own will to alter the world, rather than being a so-called supreme-ruler, that entity is more suitable with the Truth I pursue.

The more Xu Fu understood Negary, the closer he became to Negary. His weak soul became connected to Negary’s existence. Negary’s Principles then began to modify Xu Fu.

With a bit of surprise, Negary observed Xu Fu. World’s limit breakers were also part of Negary’s experiments, or rather, they were one of the main experiments that he was conducting, an experiment called the Self-replication Experiment.

He would gradually push numerous individuals into desperate situations similar to his past, if their growth fulfilled Negary’s requirements, then breaking through the world’s limit would be as easy as breathing.

There had certainly been several individuals who managed to break through the world’s limit during this experiment, but most of them only succeeded opportunistically. For example, Rip Z’s fusion with Smith granted him an ability to infinitely evolve while also discarding Smith’s self-destructive tendencies, allowing him to break through the world’s limit, but his thought process was still far from catching up.

For this reason, they couldn’t understand what kind of entity Negary was and instead perceived Negary as their enemies, a superior being who oppressed them. Although, that understanding wasn’t necessarily a mistake either.

〖 How unexpected for Xu Fu to be the very first to break through the limit in the truest sense 〗such a thought crossed Negary’s mind. The potential of each individual was truly hard to be described in words. Within the United Front against Negary, there were definitely those who had better conditions compared to the Xu Fu.

For example, the Gorilla General. His world was one that inherited the remains of the silicon-based living organisms timeline. The living beings of that world were influenced by an anomaly called the Spark that Negary created by modifying the timeline remains. They were converted into mechanical life forms, then naturally divided themselves into the Indomitable Giants and the Armed Beasts.

The Indomitable Giants believed that they should return to being organic, while the Armed Beasts believed that the Spark was a Divine Artifact granted by heaven and that they should convert the world into a complete inorganic world.

Ultimately, the Gorilla General of the Indomitable Giants became a unified being of organic and inorganic, turning into an organism with both carbon-based and silicon-based characteristics.

However, the Gorilla General still only succeeded in an opportunistic manner, he didn’t truly implement his will and failed to reach Negary’s requirement.

And so, Negary guided him into forming the United Front, continuing to oppress them sufficiently until they finally fit Negary’s requirements, or they once again surpass Negary’s expectations in a different way. In either case, it would still be a good harvest.
