Once the singularity is successfully smelted and forged into pseudo-Dark Iron comparable to true Dark Iron, the foundation of materials will undergo a tremendous leap.
Xiao's strength will likely achieve a massive breakthrough, and Cyber Cultivation will also experience a revolutionary evolution.
However, it is still too early to talk about these things; for now, they can only remain dreams to be realized gradually.
In fact, at this point, Xiao only felt an unbearable sense of bloating from preserving the singularity inside the Cyber Dimension.
Apparently, simply storing this singularity already placed a tremendous burden on him, as though he had eaten far beyond his limit.
Merely containing its existence was already so difficult, let alone smelting and forging it.
Even if the Great Crucible of Life from the Lands Between were reborn, accomplishing such a feat would still be extremely difficult.
Therefore, the most important thing Xiao needed to do now was receive the legacy left behind by his Other Self.
As Xiao had guessed, the true name of Other Self · Xiao was Uchiha Sho.
Uchiha Sho had then successively devoured the Other Selves from four worlds: Fairy Tail, Sword Art Online, Jungle Cruise, and The Lord of the Rings.
Each of these worlds possessed unique characteristics:
Naruto World is a world centered around ninjas and Chakra. Its worldview has expanded to the cosmic level.
The Ōtsutsuki Clan has become predators of the stars, constantly increasing their strength by planting Divine Trees and plundering all the power and genetic information from entire planets, ultimately evolving into higher-dimensional demon gods.
Fairy Tail and The Lord of the Rings are both worlds where magic reigns supreme, containing both gods and demons.
The origin of the Fairy Tail World is unknown, but gods have always existed as part of its background.
Magic in that world is also extremely developed, being applied throughout every aspect of society, and its power system revolves around Mages.
Mages can directly discard cumbersome incantations and instantly cast powerful magic in battle.
Powerful Mages naturally gathered together to form Mage Guilds and earned money by accepting commissions.
The Lord of the Rings World is even more classic.
As one of the pioneers that established modern fantasy fiction, it has exerted an extremely profound influence on later fantasy works.
Even eighty percent of the fantasy stories created afterward contain traces of The Lord of the Rings.
The Lord of the Rings World was created by the supreme god Eru Ilúvatar.
Ilúvatar established the world's fundamental order through music and planned its operation through prophecies hidden within that music.
It can be said that every story in The Lord of the Rings World had already been arranged from the very beginning.
The entire world is like a magnificent fantasy epic that completely immerses those who experience it.
However, precisely because of this setting, transmigrators have almost no possibility of causing trouble there.
The moment a transmigrator enters that world, they alter the music itself, and Ilúvatar can detect such changes almost immediately.
Therefore, under such a grand framework, transmigrators can only obediently follow the established plot and are unable to alter the course of history.
As for why Uchiha Sho possessed only five Great Luo Dao Fruit fragments instead of eight,
it was most likely because the Other Self who transmigrated into The Lord of the Rings World failed to perform a piece of music that pleased Ilúvatar and was promptly killed by the gods of that world.
Sword Art Online is a game-based world whose technological development gradually shifted toward virtual reality with the advent of AR and VR technology.
However, unlike ordinary online virtual games, humanity in the Sword Art Online World focused on developing artificial intelligence and quantum soul technology.
People explored the relationship between data and consciousness through these methods.
When a person's will enters the virtual world, although it is restricted by data,
as long as the mind is sufficiently strong, it can break through those data limitations, achieve growth beyond its limits, and complete the sublimation of both spirit and soul.
Furthermore, one's will can enter a quantum state, travel through time and space, and even reach the past or the future.
Xiao remembered that in the original novel, the protagonist Kirito had once accidentally entered a game from the future in a quantum state—
namely the accelerated game Brain Burst 2039 from the world known as Accel World, where he also confronted the protagonist of that storyline.
Although this technology is nominally classified as part of the cyber network world, its true core is actually a quantum data world that is far more advanced than an ordinary cyber network.
Jungle Cruise, to be honest, is a rather niche treasure-hunting story.
Very few people have seen it, and it can be considered a textbook example of a high-budget box-office flop.
If Xiao had not inherited Wu Meiniang's mechanical memory, he probably wouldn't even have remembered watching such a movie.
The origin of the story comes from an ancient legend.
It is said that deep within the Amazon River lies a mysterious Divine Tree.
This Divine Tree absorbs moonlight and nurtures a miraculous substance known as Moon Tears.
Moon Tears possess the miraculous power to soothe wounds of the soul and heal all pain.
However, for some unknown reason, this news reached the ears of a medieval Anglo-Saxon noble.
Upon hearing it, the nobleman decided to cross the ocean to seek Moon Tears in order to save his gravely ill daughter.
After enduring countless hardships and suffering heavy losses, he finally reached his destination.
Although the local indigenous people welcomed him, they refused to allow him to worship the Divine Tree.
The reason was simple.
The natives sensed the essence of the nobleman's soul and determined that his heart was filled with evil, making him unworthy of receiving the Divine Tree's blessings and grace.
Faced with such a situation, the nobleman fell into despair.
But for the sake of saving his daughter, he spared no effort.
He even abandoned his dignity, kneeling and begging for mercy.
However, the indigenous people remained unmoved and still refused him.
Seeing that pleading was useless, the nobleman chose to activate the Anglo-Saxon's instinctive talent for plunder.
He launched a massacre against the natives, slaughtering everyone who stood in his way.
He intended to find the Divine Tree by himself.
However, the nobleman's actions completely enraged the tribal priest.
Before dying, the priest placed a curse upon the nobleman and all of his followers, transforming them into immortal monsters forever trapped within the Amazon River basin.
The subsequent development of the story naturally follows a classic adventure opening.
A beautiful archaeologist accidentally discovers a key capable of unlocking a legendary treasure.
She then gathers a group of companions and embarks on an adventure.
It is practically a copy of The Mummy's plot.
Putting a decades-old adventure formula back onto the big screen, it's no wonder the movie became a box-office flop.
