Chapter 592 - What's In A Name?

Having understood the situation of the Weasel beast, Lin Wu realized another thing.

"You need a new name or rather… your first name." Lin Wu spoke.

"Name?" The Weasel beast repeated.

"Yes, name." Lin Wu confirmed. "One for yourself, and one for your bloodline."

"Bloodline? Me, Copper Hide Weasel." The Weasel beast stated.

Even if the weasel beast had a low intelligence, it still had the bloodline memories that each beast would have. They contained a varying amount of memories and information, but the most basic thing would be their own bloodline's name.

Thus, the weasel beast at least knew what or who it was.

"Yeah, you were a Copper Hide weasel. But you ate so many things you have changed. And that deserves a new name." Lin Wu stated.

"No new name." The weasel said flatly.

"A new name means you're stronger." Lin Wu teased.

"Strong? Me?" The Weasel beast asked.

"Yes," Lin Wu nodded his head.

"ME STRONG! NEW NAME!" The Weasel beast said out loud with a chitter.

"Hmm… what should we make your new name…" Lin Wu muttered.

The Weasel beast looked on in anticipation at Lin Wu. He had fully left the name up to Lin Wu and didn't want to think about it and spend energy.

Lin Wu thought of the weasel's abilities and the physique and finally came up with a name after a while.

"Myriad Obsidian Weasel." Lin Wu stated. "Yup, that will be your bloodline's name… at least for now. I can't really give an official name like I can with my own." 

"Okay!" The Weasel quickly accepted and the system also updated it on its data.

"Though… about your actual name. Do you want me to give you one?" Lin Wu asked.

"I name!" The weasel said excitedly.

"Oh? This time you want to name yourself?" Lin Wu asked, finding it a bit strange.

"Yes!" The weasel beast replied.

"Okay… so what name have you chosen?" Lin Wu questioned.

"Me… Tim!" The Weasel answered.

~thud~

Lin Wu visibly stumbled after hearing this, and his eyes went wide.

"Tim? How the heck did you even come up with that?" Lin Wu asked out loud.

"Tim." The Weasel repeated.

Seeing the straight expression of the weasel, Lin Wu knew he would have no luck in figuring out the beast's thought process.

~Sigh~

"Fine… you're Tim." Lin Wu gave up.

~Kikikiki~

The weasel beast, 'Tim' chittered in happiness and ran around, bumped into a rock pillar, bit it down, pulled out a crystal of some kind, ate it, and returned.

Lin Wu ignored his shenanigans and focused on his thoughts.

'How the hell did he even figure out the name Tim? That is certainly not a name I have heard here. It wouldn't be out of place in my past life, but here… I don't think I've seen any other kinds of names other than the ones from cultivation novels.' Lin Wu wondered to himself.

And while thinking this, Lin Wu had another thought.

"The bloodline memories… is it due to that?" Lin Wu guessed.

He knew that the bloodline of the weasel beast had changed and mutated, thus the memories in it would also be changed. If there was some other bloodline that laid dormant in the original bloodline of the Copper Hide Weasel, there was a chance some of those memories may have appeared in his new mutated bloodline.

"Could there be other places or worlds where they used different names and have a different culture? Plus, now that I think of it… I haven't seen any Caucasians or even blond people in general." Lin Wu wondered to himself.

Lin Wu pondered on this for a bit but still could not come up with anything substantial.

"System, consolidate all the foreign names in my memories of the past life and see if you can find any similar ones in all the data you have." Lin Wu ordered.

~DING~

ANALYSIS COMPLETED: Several matching results found!

Soon Lin Wu got what he wanted, and the results were certainly surprising to him.

"Heck! There are actually other kinds of names in this universe." Lin Wu exclaimed.

The system had managed to match not one, not two, but an entire three hundred and ninety four names from the database. And the database from which the system had found them was none other than the Skull God's memories.

Apparently, there were many different worlds, but most of them were dominated by the same culture as was common in most cultivation novels. But a few of them had different kinds of people and they could have western names too.

Even their appearances were like those of westerns and they were not weak either. The biggest and most important name that the system ended up finding was, 'Denthor, The Flesh Master'.

He was apparently a very strong cultivator and even the Skull god had to stay away from him. While both of them had a similar level of influence and power, Denthor was not an outlaw like him.

He was a true ruler of a world and was legitimately revered by others. Thus he didn't have to fear the same things and have to face the same things that the Skull God had to in his journeys.

Lin Wu learned of several more names, a couple of which were even subordinates of the Skull god. Though they weren't of any particular importance. 

"Looks like I have a whole different aspect of this universe to look forward to once I manage to leave this world. Plus… if they have different names and cultures, they definitely have different cultivation paths too." Lin Wu reckoned.

It was an exciting find for him and he was certainly not thinking of the different and unique kinds of foods that they might have.

~nudge~

While Lin Wu was in his mind doing all this, the Weasel came up to him and nudged him with his paw.

"What?" Lin Mu asked.

"Humans." He replied.

"Humans?" Lin Wu furrowed his brows and checked the map. "Interesting… seems like someone is making a move…"
