Chapter 1251: Chapter 504: Little Bear Winnie’s Honey (2)

”Those bits of knowledge that easily attract dreadful contamination, were they banned or altered?”

With each possibility spoken, Ron felt a deeper fear.

If these speculations were correct, then the history they knew might just be a version ”optimized” countless times.

”The truly dangerous existences, the truly forbidden knowledge, the events that could truly change everything... were all quietly corrected?”

”Your comprehension is impressive.” The voice of the ”Extraordinary Comprehensive Guide” deepened:

”This is the real mechanism by which reality operates. Those transcendents enjoy the stable order brought by the ’adjustments’, but the price is that entire civilization is confined within a ’safe orbit’.”

”However.” The tone of the book shifted: ”Have you ever wondered why you are able to understand the true meaning of this fable?”

This question stirred something within Ron’s heart. According to the logic of the fable, if he were a common animal in the forest, he should not have been able to perceive these changes.

”I...” His voice carried uncertainty: ”Am I not an animal in the forest?”

”More accurately.” The tone of the ”Extraordinary Comprehensive Guide” became mysterious:

”You are an existence possessing a ’perspective beyond the forest’. Your angle of observation does not entirely belong within this framework of reality.”

With this sentence, a shocking possibility emerged in Ron’s mind.

He subconsciously thought about the data records in his Professional Panel.

In many previous critical moments, he had relied on those data reminders to break free from crisis.

These data seemed unaffected by external influences, never changing due to his cognition.

They recorded some kind of ”absolute truth” state.

But soon, another question surfaced in his mind:

”Now that I know these truths, but for my current growth...” He furrowed his brow: ”Aside from increasing the sense of urgency, it seems to have no direct practical value?”

Ron carefully recalled every interaction with the ”Extraordinary Comprehensive Guide”. The knowledge provided by this book always precisely matched his current needs. From culinary techniques that harmonized bloodlines to architectural theories of the Void Remains, none were purely idle talk.

”You wouldn’t tell me these for no reason.” He mused: ”This fable must contain some useful guidance for my current cultivation stage?”

”Clever reasoning.” The voice of the ”Extraordinary Comprehensive Guide” carried approbation: ”What do you think the unique advantages are for an existence with a ’perspective beyond the forest’ in the cultivation process?”

This guidance prompted Ron to consider his cultivation process from a completely new angle.

If he truly possessed some transcendental quality, could this trait also be applied to specific technical aspects?

But gradually, his thoughts began to shift in another direction:

”Wait.” Suddenly, he spoke: ”Every answer you give me relates to my current situation. The training in bloodline coordination, the theory of the Void Remains construction, now is about the revelation of the reality’s essence...”

”You wouldn’t choose this fable as an answer for no reason. Beyond the truth of the epoch’s restart, this story must also contain more direct guidance relevant to my current stage.”

The giant eye on the cover blinked, and the ”Extraordinary Comprehensive Guide” emitted an approving laugh:

”Smart child. You’re finally beginning to think about the interconnectivity of knowledge.”

”So, tell me, what insights do you think this fable provides for your magic power cultivation?”

This question led Ron to re-examine the story he had just heard. He carefully savored each detail:

”The changes in the forest... are realized through ’losing the old, gaining the new’.” He spoke slowly:

”Moreover, these changes are... incremental, continuous, each time just subtle adjustments.”

”Go on.” The ”Extraordinary Comprehensive Guide” encouraged.

”The pain of magic power compression, isn’t it similar to... the ’unadaptability’ during the forest’s changes?” Ron’s thoughts became clearer:

”I’ve always regarded compression as a coercive, violent process. But maybe, truly efficient compression should be... incremental reconstruction?”

The ”Extraordinary Comprehensive Guide” let out a satisfied chuckle: ”Now you’re beginning to understand. But how exactly should this be implemented? Let me give you a more intuitive guidance.”

The pages began to turn, revealing a completely unexpected image.

An exquisite music score, titled ”Harmony Concerto”.

This music score looked exceptionally complex, densely packed with various notes on the staff, but most strikingly, many of the notes were connected with red lines, marked with special interval relationships.

What was even more perplexing was that portions of the score had been erased with an eraser and then rewritten with different content. The entire score looked like a composer’s draft, filled with traces of revisions.

”What is this?” Ron asked in confusion.

”This is a piece of music that can never be performed ’comfortably’.” The voice of the ”Extraordinary Comprehensive Guide” took on a poetic quality: ”Because its core characteristic is ’intentional dissonance’.”

The score began to reveal more details. In the margins of the staff, there were densely written performance instructions:

”In the third measure, violin and cello play together, forming a major second interval, creating a piercing sense of friction.”

”In the seventh measure, the piano’s left hand plays a C note, while the right hand simultaneously plays a sharp C note, forming a highly dissonant augmented unison.”

”In the twelfth measure, all instruments must play augmented fourth and diminished fifth intervals, making the audience feel the strongest unease.”
