Infinite Chimera Creation

Faced with the still impolite questioning, Yuan Yuan smiled calmly and explained,

"Let me explain it this way: that guy named Yuan Yuan, as long as he keeps his soul core (the 'main body') unchanged, can split his soul into countless fragments and then catalyze all of these fragments back into a complete soul, which is fine. Because with a strong will and proper operation, he can reclaim all of these fragments. But..."

As he spoke, Yuan Yuan raised a finger, his expression serious yet subtly mocking.

"He would absolutely not dare to catalyze the core of his soul into a complete soul."

“The soul core is the foundation of the soul. If he dares to do this, then ‘he’ will undoubtedly disappear completely, and the soul that is catalyzed on the soul core will take his place. Even if this new soul is countless times weaker than him, the outcome will not change.”

Young Yuan Yuan frowned. Although Yuan Yuan offered an explanation, he did not fully believe Yuan Yuan's words because he had never been in contact with a soul.

Rubbing his temples vigorously, the young Yuan Yuan pondered for a long time before finally giving up, letting out a long sigh, and saying...

"Although I cannot verify whether your statement is correct, given the current situation, I have no choice but to believe you. So, I will believe you."

Yuan Yuan was not surprised by the other party's choice, because the other party's way of thinking was almost exactly the same as his when he was young. Apart from being more sentimental, there was no difference. He could easily guess the other party's thoughts.

With a light laugh and a nod, Yuan Yuan said,

"A wise choice. So, is there anything else you want to say or ask?"

Young Yuan Yuan's expression immediately turned serious. He stared intently at Yuan Yuan and said in a deep voice,

"Of course there is. I want to ask you, how can I break through the limitation of 'not being able to have a rebellious spirit' like you? If I can't stomp on that guy when I kill him, I'll definitely be depressed for the rest of my life."

Upon hearing the young Yuan Yuan's answer, a wide smile immediately spread across Yuan Yuan's face. He didn't rush to answer the other person's question, but instead turned to look at Yue Yan, exaggerating his smile as he said...

"So, now do you know where you went wrong?"

When the young Yuan Yuan gave his answer, Yue Yan was already stunned, as if struck by lightning. When faced with Yuan Yuan's question again, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and nod with difficulty.

Seeing Yueyan's actions, Yuan Yuan's smile widened, and he said loudly,

“That’s right, Yuan Yuan is proud. In the current situation, a proud person should not say, ‘Please,’ but rather, ‘Tell me how to do it, I want to solve it myself.’”

"Do you think someone with Nobita's incredible luck is so easy to manipulate?! While you're manipulating him, he's gained a life that's never boring, and every day is filled with joy and fulfillment!"

"And you? You've become increasingly useless and incompetent. You've not only lost the ability to conduct experiments independently, but you've even lost your own pride!"

"If you can't conduct research, have lost your pride, and only enjoy easily obtained results and a leisurely, decadent life every day, what value do you have in living!"

The more Yuan Yuan spoke, the more bitter Yueyan's smile became. Long ago, Yueyan had already known that he could not conduct independent research, but he chose to pretend that he had not discovered anything.

Because the same thing, if Yueyan were to study it himself, might take decades or even centuries, but with Nobita's help, it could be done in just a day or even a few minutes. Such a huge difference in efficiency left him with no reason to conduct his own research.

In the past, Yueyan thought that he had only lost his research ability, but now he realized that he had actually lost everything that truly belonged to him.

Luck is a truly terrifying thing.

The myriad thoughts in Yueyan's heart could only be transformed into this sigh of lingering fear.

Chapter Eleven: Why Go Through So Much Trouble?

"So, now that you know where your problem lies, would you like to revise what you said earlier?"

With a mocking smile on his face, Yuan Yuan looked at Yue Yan and asked softly.

Seeing the despicable smirk on Yuan Yuan's face, Yue Yan gritted her teeth, suppressing the urge to throw a punch. She fixed her gaze firmly on Yuan Yuan and said in a deep voice,

"Please tell me what I should do to get rid of this damn restriction."

With a satisfied smile, Yuan Yuan once again condensed a wisp of pale, mad energy at his fingertips and said to the two people present,

"Although I can't be 100% sure yet, this should be the thing that freed me from those restrictions."

Although Yuan Yuan had shown his madness once before, this time Yueyan truly took seriously something that he couldn't analyze in a short time.

Staying true to his childlike style, Yueyan took out a small magnifying glass from his pocket and began to carefully observe the wisp of madness.

Young Yuan Yuan originally wanted to go forward and study the madness, but after seeing the magnifying glass in Yue Yan's hand, which cost three yuan each at a roadside stall, he stopped and began to reflect on whether he had trusted these two guys too easily.

This broken magnifying glass looks like it's just for fooling people!

Yueyan was unaware of the profound impact her prized secret artifact had on the young Yuan Yuan. Through the magnifying glass in his hand, he stared intently at the pale, mad aura, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Its state of existence is somewhere between spirit and matter, and it can be barely identified as a product of some kind of spiritual energy projected into reality. However, its composition is completely incomprehensible; it is neither matter nor energy. What exactly is it?!"

Hearing Yueyan's instinctive words, the young Yuan Yuan realized he hadn't been tricked. He took a few steps forward, got close to Yueyan, and began to observe the mad aura. Since he didn't have any suitable tools, he could only rely on the unreliable method of visual observation.

After the two had observed for a while and gained some understanding of madness, Yuan Yuan began to explain.

"This thing is called madness, which is born from the extreme emotion of transcending obsession. My madness was born from the emotion of pride."

"Madness is neither dependent on the body nor on the soul, but it has an unimaginable ability to erode and assimilate both the body and the soul."

"In all the lives I have encountered, no matter how powerful a life form is, it cannot be immune to the erosion of madness. Only the soul and body of the user of madness can develop tolerance to madness and not be affected by it."

Listening to Yuan Yuan's explanation, Yue Yan rubbed his temples, a thoughtful expression on his face, and murmured,

"I see. You suspect that your soul underwent some kind of change when it developed tolerance to madness, and that this change is what freed you from that limitation, is that right?"

"That makes sense. Although it sounds a bit far-fetched, the nature of madness is too mysterious for even me to analyze. The mutations that the soul undergoes under its influence must be something I've never encountered before. I guess only this kind of soul change that I've never experienced before can nullify the restrictive mechanisms that guy planted in our souls."

Compared to Yueyan's thoughtful expression, the younger Yuan Yuan was much more decisive. He stared intently at Yuan Yuan and said in a clearly excited voice,

"Please tell me how to awaken madness!"

Upon hearing this, Yueyan realized what was happening and quickly stared at Yuan Yuan, waiting for his reply.

Although Yuan Yuan really wanted to say, "Sorry, this is confidential and I can't tell you," and enjoy the two's interesting expressions, he abandoned this tempting idea, considering that if Yue Yan got angry, he might suffer a little loss himself. Instead, he gave a serious explanation.

"As I've said before, madness is born from extreme emotions. In other words, whether or not madness awakens depends solely on the intensity of your emotions, and has nothing to do with any other factors."

"Emotions..."

Upon hearing Yuan Yuan's words, both of them began to ponder, considering whether their emotions were strong enough and what methods they could use to bring their emotions to their peak.

"The younger a person is, the purer their emotions are. As they get older and encounter more and more people and things, their emotions become more complex and changeable."

However, the two didn't need to think much; Yuan Yuan had already devised a method for them when introducing the madness. With a mischievous smile on his face, Yuan Yuan said with considerable pleasure,

"So, both of you, revert your physical bodies to around ten years old, then seal your memories and relive your childhood. I will guide you and help you awaken your madness."

Since everyone was Yuan Yuan, although they couldn't say they knew each other inside and out, they could roughly guess each other's thoughts. Yueyan and the other two naturally guessed that Yuan Yuan's suggestion must have a lot of ulterior motives, but they still had to admit that Yuan Yuan's suggestion was really quite good.

Children can run far, far away without hesitation just to chase a beautiful butterfly or a cute cat, simply because they like that feeling.

But when they get a little older, they start to worry about getting lost and the time commitment. After weighing the pros and cons, they will take action. At this point, their feelings of liking will be overshadowed by their feelings of worry.

Once they grow up, out of concern for others' opinions, no matter how much they like the cat, they can no longer chase after it. At this point, people have even completely suppressed some of their emotions.

A simple comparison reveals that returning to childhood is indeed a good option for achieving the ultimate emotional experience.

"Tsk, you're right, going back to childhood is indeed a good idea, then I'll leave it to you."

After a brief consideration, the young Yuan Yuan clicked his tongue in displeasure and agreed to Yuan Yuan's suggestion.

Compared to the young Yuan Yuan, who was not yet thirty, Yue Yan, who had lived for at least a thousand years, clearly had more concerns. After a long while, he finally nodded.

“Very good, I’m glad you didn’t suspect I wanted to take this opportunity to kill you. Now, let’s find a suitable world to help you awaken your madness.”

"Finding a suitable world?"

Yueyan tilted her head in confusion, took out a box about the size of a person from her bosom, placed it in front of Yuan Yuan, and asked,

"If you want a suitable world, why not just create one yourself using Genesis? You can customize everything, from the world type to the species and civilizations within it. Why waste time searching everywhere?"

Chapter Twelve: Creating a World (Elementary School Difficulty)

Yuan Yuan's eye twitched involuntarily. Pointing to the large box in Yue Yan's hand, he asked with a somewhat strange expression,

"Create a world? You mean, with what you have, you can create a world? Not a world egg, not a fragmented world, but a complete world?"

"That's right, it's a complete world. In terms of development potential and lifespan, it's no less than those naturally formed worlds."

From the moment they met until now, Yueyan had never gained the upper hand over Yuan Yuan. Now that she had finally managed to make Yuan Yuan lose his composure a little, Yueyan's mood immediately improved, and she smiled brightly as she answered Yuan Yuan's questions.

"Tsk, it's just something that Nobita Nobi created with his lucky charm. It's not like you figured it out yourself. What's there to be proud of?"

Seeing the bright smile on Yueyan's face, Yuan Yuan clicked his tongue in annoyance, snatched the [Genesis] from her hand, casually tossed it to the young Yuan Yuan who was watching the show from the sidelines, and said irritably,

"Here you go. Build whatever world you want. If you don't understand something, just ask the guy who beat you up earlier."

Seeing Yuan Yuan's actions, Yue Yan was somewhat surprised. He didn't care about a mere [Genesis]; with his accumulated resources, giving away a dozen or so [Genesis] to curry favor was no problem for him. What surprised Yue Yan was that Yuan Yuan actually asked the least experienced of the three of them to create the world.

"I said, are you sure it's okay to leave this to me? I've only ever experienced one world so far, aren't you worried that the world I create won't meet your requirements?"

Before Yueyan could ask, the young Yuan Yuan, who was holding the Genesis, asked first. Although he was confident, he did not believe that the world he created could be better than the world created by the other two people who often traveled between different worlds.

"It's okay, it's okay, just build it however you want. Anyway, the world I originally wanted to find was the one that would make you feel most comfortable and at ease when you return to your childhood. I think the world that would make you feel at ease is the one you create yourself."

Yuan Yuan waved his hand dismissively, offered a casual explanation, and then turned to Yue Yan, who also looked enlightened.

"Judging from your reaction just now, you should still have this [Genesis], right? Take it out again, and you can create a world too, for the same reason as above."

Yueyan nodded, then took out two large boxes from his robes, handed one to Yuan Yuan, and opened the other in front of himself, smiling.

"Although creating a world using Genesis is simple, it still takes some time. Here, take this and create a world for yourself to play with, so you won't get bored while the two of us are creating worlds."

Yuan Yuan didn't refuse. He took the colorful box, glanced at the obviously childish packaging, and then opened the lid.

Opening the lid, Yuan Yuan took out the instruction manual inside, which was so brief that it lacked a production date, product batch number, and manufacturer information, and contained only a mere ten or so operating procedures. He glanced at it and his eye twitched involuntarily again.

The instructions are so brief that they surpass even elementary school art textbooks, and could even rival the recipes of Gourmet Monsters, which only have five steps: find one to eight people, beat them up, keep beating them up, throw them into the fire, and eat them.

Recalling his earlier advice to young Yuan Yuan to ask Yueyan if he didn't understand anything, Yuan Yuan felt an urge to sigh deeply. It was so simple that even an elementary school student could create a world just by reading the instructions.

[So, Nobita is indeed an elementary school student, then it's not surprising that the 'Genesis' he created would be of elementary school difficulty.]

[But to simplify the process of creating the world to this extent, it seems I underestimated Nobita's incredible luck.]

After muttering a couple of thoughts that weren't really complaints, Yuan Yuan put down the instruction manual, which he had already memorized after just one glance, and started playing the real-life version of "Minecraft".

Although he had manipulated the world quite a bit, this was the first time Yuan Yuan had ever done something like creating a world. Soon, the novelty of this first experience captivated him.

Forgetting the two people around him, Yuan Yuan added what he liked and deleted what he disliked in this new world according to his own wishes, having a great time and even forgetting the passage of time.

Yuan Yuan felt no psychological pressure and didn't have to worry about whether the world he created was suitable, so he naturally had a lot of fun.

However, the other two were different. Both of them understood that whether the world they were creating was suitable was related to whether they could develop madness and break free from that limitation. They were both very nervous and naturally would not immerse themselves in it like Yuan Yuan.

Therefore, when the two finished creating their own world and saw Yuan Yuan squatting there with a big smile, having a great time, they couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

Yueyan shook her head helplessly, walked to Yuan Yuan's side, patted his shoulder, and woke him up.
