Chapter 1939 Otherworldly Knowledge

Very few things would have been able to draw their attention away from the fantastical Gard of Salvation. The revelation that Rui was a being from another world who had been reborn in this world was, in fact, one of them.

Once Kane calmed down, his curiosity revved into top gear. "Does dying hurt?"

"What did you guys have if not Martial Art?"

"How old were you when you died?"

"Did you guys look like how we do?"

"Was the esoteric stuff of your world different from ours?"

Rui patiently answered each and every single one of them, hoping he would run out of questions as soon as possible. But alas, he didn't. He patiently absorbed all of Rui's answers, deeply pondering them.

"What do you mean you didn't have esoterics?" Kane tilted his head in confusion.

"My old world didn't have magical substances capable of magical feats," Rui replied. "We have to do make to do with regular old materials and substances."

Kane's eyes widened with shock. "What?! Man, you guys had it rough, huh? I can't imagine how much life sucked."

"Wait, doesn't that mean you could damage Martial Art a lot if you spread that knowledge?" Kane asked nonchalantly.

Yet he had touched on a sensitive topic.

Rui was not a physicist or an engineer, but he did have a degree in physics and had developed a foundation in a lot of fields that were relevant to combat sports research in some way or the other.

He had a lot of knowledge that could change the world. He had been...limited in his spreading of the knowledge because he feared the changes it could bring about to the broader society around them. Especially the negative changes that harmed Martial Art.

That was the reason that his divulging of knowledge from Earth was done only for the sake of Martial Art and never without it. He didn't mind releasing such knowledge as long as it benefitted Martial Art.

However, he believed that eventually, the human domain of the Panama continent would progress and reach Earth's understanding of non-esoteric reality. The human civilization in this world was identically intelligent to that of his previous life. Thus, there was no cognitive barrier to making the progress he had known in his previous life.

The only reason that they had yet to do so was because most research was directed towards esoteric sciences that studied more fascinating and fantastical manifestations of reality. Thus, if Rui truly wanted to adaptively evolve to any and everything, then it was something that could not be avoided.

"I could damage Martial Art if I spread it hazardously," Rui answered his question promptly. "But I believe that Martial Artists can benefit from it just as much as they could be hurt by it. Ultimately, I will strive to do what is best for Martial Art. Not just for the sake of Martial Art, but also for my own personal ambitions. It will be much better for me if Martial Arts as a whole can deal with what is to come because I intend to become the strongest of them all."

"Hmmm..." Kane grew absorbed in thought. "Do you have a plan for how you're going to do that?"

"...No," Rui admitted. "It's not something that I plan out. I do not care to take the effort of planning out something as extravagant as the integration of knowledge from my previous world into the human civilization of Gaia. What little I have already done came about naturally from sharing my techniques with the Martial Union."
