Chapter 1950 Better Suited

Time passed as Rui compiled the information package. It was a project he spent most of his waking days on, not paying any attention to anything else.

One of the things that he had to wrestle with was whether he wanted to update the Yggdrasil System in the Garden of Salvation or not.

On one hand, the whole reason he wanted to learn everything that the Elder Tree knew about the biosphere of the Beast Domain was because he wanted to upgrade his Yggdrasil System to create adaptively evolved environments that were optimally antithetical to any beast or monster from the Beast Domain.

This was his solution to not being able to adapt to beasts and monsters as well as he could adapt to other Martial Artists.

"The Yggdrasil System is inherently better suited to counter monsters and beasts than the pattern recognition system is." Rui cursed himself for not making this deduction earlier. "While the latter can still do a great job, the former is able to be fundamentally antithetical to beasts and monsters in a way that the latter cannot."

Human beings did not have environmental specialization. What that meant was that human beings were not optimized for any specific environment, topography, or geology. This was a species that was able to adaptively evolve to its environment by virtue of its heightened intelligence and, relatively, heightened rationality.

The human species had adapted to burning hot and freezing cold and everything in between, morphing culture and tradition in response to environmental conditions.

Animals could not do that.

If one tossed a polar bear into the desert, its only fate was death.

Likewise, if one tossed a camel into the Antarctic, its fate, too, was death.

This was, to a certain degree, even more true for the monsters of the Beast Domain. They had often evolved to be hyper-optimal in certain environments and were absolutely doomed if the environment was inversed to become optimally antithetical to them.

That was why the Yggdrasil System, which altered the environment to become optimally antithetical to its target, was most suited, out of the entirety of the Flowing Void Style, to handle the Beast Domain.

"Partially," Rui remarked. "However, I would not be nearly as confident if you didn't have the ability to read my mind and coordinate your info dump into my head with my Mind Palace."

...I see. However, even that can only partially mitigate the suffering and the pain that will come with an overflood of information. You will suffer. Perhaps enough to lose your sanity.

"Thanks for the pep talk," Rui sarcastically replied. "I'll be fine."

You don't know that.

"At the very least, I shall do my best not to lose my mind and become an invalid."

Even if you succeed with that, you can still suffer psychological damage.

"It's as I said." Rui narrowed his eyes. "If that is the price of adaptive evolution, then so be it."

You are insane. Do you not care about who you are?

"I am a man who pursued his dream to death and beyond," Rui replied calmly. "That is the only part of me that I care about. Everything else is secondary."

...Perhaps you won't lose your sanity after all. It doesn't seem to be like you ever had it in the first place.

Rui huffed lightly. "Sanity is overrated. More importantly, I have finally completed the information packet for you. I'm glad you can read my mind, so I don't have to rely on hypnosis or non-verbal communication to pass it on to you."

I shall gladly indulge in priceless knowledge from another world. I will have you guide me through this course.
