Just like that, he quietly finished watching the mories stored within the "mory Butterfly."
The "illusion" before Qiu Tu's eyes began to dissolve like bubbles disappearing into thin air.
What replaced it was Qiu Tu's familiar Councilman's Resting Room, the large bed, and Rain Butterfly, who was bent over, putting on clothes.
Perhaps because the mory felt like it lasted for hours, Qiu Tu inexplicably had a sensation of witnessing great changes over the passage of ti.
What surprised him even more was... when he glanced up, he saw that the clock on the wall had barely advanced by half an hour.
Qiu Tu couldn't help but look at Rain Butterfly and asked, "This mory Butterfly is really that amazing? It can adjust the flow of ti?"
At that mont, Rain Butterfly had just finished putting on her underwear.
She didn't imdiately respond to Qiu Tu's question. Instead, she pointed at Qiu Tu's wardrobe and said, "My clothes were torn to shreds by you last night. Mind lending a couple of pieces to wear?"
Qiu Tu gestured with his hand, "Help yourself."
Rain Butterfly smiled faintly and then opened Qiu Tu's wardrobe.
She didn't imdiately start picking clothes, though. Her gaze swept around the wardrobe, and when she noticed there weren't any won's clothes stored inside, the smile on her face grew even brighter.
Standing on her tiptoes, she selected a shirt and slipped it onto her body.
The oversized shirt made her already delicate figure and tall, slender build appear even more alluring.
With the faintly visible curves beneath the shirt...
If Qiu Tu hadn't already known that there was important business to handle today, he might have been unable to resist diving into a deeper "discussion" with her about the future developnt of Dongye State...
After putting on her clothes, Rain Butterfly finally turned around and said, "It's not that magical."
"If the mory Butterfly could actually affect ti, do you think it would ever fall into humanity's hands, let alone be cultivated for transmitting vital intelligence?"
At this point, Rain Butterfly paused, then explained, "The mory Butterfly actually influences the rate of 'mory' or 'dreams.'"
"You've probably experienced feeling like you've slept for a long ti, but when you open your eyes, you find that only five minutes have passed, right?"
"Or perhaps… you feel like you've only been asleep for five minutes, but when you wake up, you realize hours have gone by."
Qiu Tu nodded slightly.
Rain Butterfly said, "That's the difference in dream speed."
"To put it simply, the mory Butterfly puts you into a sleep-like state, projecting mories directly into your dreams."
"It's like a living reel of tape; the faster your thought processes, the faster it can play the mories."
"You feel like you've experienced those mories at normal speed, but in reality… you were watching them at five tis the usual speed."
"This is only because, within the dream, you're fully imrsed, with no external ti reference."
Hearing this, Qiu Tu's face imdiately showed a look of realization.
If that's the case, then the mory Butterfly's value indeed seed significantly diminished.
Previously, he had thought that its acceleration effect worked on everyone, making it a potential tool to dramatically shorten the learning curve for many abilities and technologies, thereby improving learning efficiency.
But Rain Butterfly's explanation revealed to Qiu Tu that the reason the effect seed so astounding was because of his own strength—his mind processing speed was already incredibly fast.
If soone weaker used it, the ti flow ratio would presumably remain a standard 1:1.
And beyond that...
After the mory session ended, Qiu Tu noticed that the "mory Butterfly" had seemingly died.
This indicated… the mory Butterfly's ability was a one-ti use.
Thus, it resembled more of an advanced encrypted communication tool.
It would likely only be deployed for conveying so crucial information.
Putting aside thoughts about the mory Butterfly for now, Qiu Tu began to recall the information he had obtained earlier from Rao Shou's mories.
First, what surprised Qiu Tu the most was... Rao Shou's perspective on the "Era of Disaster" and the "Cataclysm Path" differed so greatly from the "official" narrative?
An extensive selection process for officials by the World Origin?
Stages 1-4 were rely an assessnt phase? Starting from Fifth Order and Sixth Tier, one began earning gradual recognition from the World Origin?
And the ultimate limit of ordinary beings should be the Peak of Fourth Order?
So advancing to the Fifth Order required acknowledgnt from the World Origin, tying the territory under one's control to one's destiny, transforming the region into a False Fra to forcefully break through to the Fifth Order Realm?
Truth be told, when he heard Rao Shou's account, Qiu Tu was entirely dumbstruck.
So, the Cataclysm was truly an opportunity gifted to all beings by two worlds?
And by that logic… his decision to not hold back in a head-on confrontation with a Fifth Order Evil God during a recent encounter was actually the right call?
For a mont, Qiu Tu wasn't even sure how to describe his current emotions.
Although Rao Shou's speculation was sowhat exaggerated, it carried a certain logic.
Take "World Origin," for instance.
Over the past year or so, every ti Qiu Tu had advanced in rank, he would notice that he could receive information from the "World Origin."
This had made him question more than once what kind of existence the "World Origin" truly was.
And why did Cataclysmics automatically receive information from it upon advancing?
Looking at it now, if the Era of Disaster itself was a massive "selection process," then the "World Origin" containing such information didn't seem all that surprising.
After all… the World Will needed to guide living beings to evolve step by step in order to "select" the talent it "required."
Of course… Qiu Tu wasn't suggesting that the "World Consciousness" or the "World Origin" had a sentient mind.
He agreed with Rao Shou's view: this kind of "selection" was most likely an unconscious act by the World Origin.
Still, regardless of whether this speculation was true, the only path laid out before Qiu Tu was to continue advancing.
