Chapter 466: Chapter 260 “The Inheritance of New Memories” and “The Way of Viewing the World” (Please Subscribe)_2
Actually, even without this batch of Inherited Memory, Milton Cheney was destined to one day become aware of the changes in his demon body.
After all, the reason he was unable to sense those changes now was simply because the enhancements were too insubstantial.
But even if minute, consistently accumulating improvements would ultimately lead to the moment when Milton Cheney became aware of his strength’s transformation.
This batch of Inherited Memory acted more like a shot in the arm.
Indeed, even if Milton Cheney had noticed the changes in his strength in the future without the Inherited Memory, he would still have many speculations.
And to genuinely verify all his speculations was not an easy task.
Now, with the Inherited Memory, Milton Cheney no longer needed to make wild guesses.
Because the Inherited Memory would not deceive him; everything within it represented the fundamental Rules of the Crimson World into which he had reincarnated.
If the Inherited Memory were fake, then this World would cease to be real.
At this moment, Milton Cheney cast aside all the chaotic thoughts in his heart.
He had completely assimilated the new Inherited Memory.
Now, what Milton Cheney needed to do was very simple, which was to do nothing at all.
Since he needed to remain in the Demon Mother River to enhance his strength, naturally, his actions would be exactly the same as before.
After all, Milton Cheney had never left the Demon Mother River before.
Moreover, even if he wanted to leave, he couldn’t.
At this time, he still couldn’t leave this place of life that had nurtured him.
Furthermore, after experiencing this memory inheritance, even if Milton Cheney found a way to leave the Demon Mother River, he might choose not to.
After all, this river was linked to the enhancement of his strength and whether new Inherited Memory would appear.
When the steadiest path lay before him, there was naturally no need for Milton Cheney to take risks.
The next moment, Milton Cheney’s body once again meandered through the Demon Mother River.
While his body instinctively wandered, Milton Cheney was also sensing his own body.
He wanted to verify whether his body truly had undergone any changes.
Unfortunately, in the end, Milton Cheney could still sense nothing at all from his own body.
He was very clear about the state of his body when he had just reincarnated into this World.
It was precisely because Milton Cheney was so clear about it that he was puzzled.
Because in his perception, his body at this moment was indistinguishable from when he had first reincarnated into this World.
Was it that his body hadn’t changed, or was it that he couldn’t perceive the change?
If it had been Milton Cheney from before, he would most likely have believed that his body hadn’t undergone any changes at all.
After all, trusting in one’s own perception was almost an instinct for a Demon.
But having experienced the new Inherited Memory, Milton Cheney no longer trusted his perception so much.
If the Inherited Memory was true, then the reality was that his body had undergone subtle changes; it was just that he hadn’t perceived them.
Since the two were contradictory, Milton Cheney could only believe one of them.
In the end, Milton Cheney chose to trust the Inherited Memory rather than his demon body’s instinctive perceptual ability.
Sometimes, even one’s own eyes can deceive, let alone elusive perception.
It’s like an Ordinary Person facing a pair of nearly identical twins, most likely unable to differentiate them at all.
And indeed, from the beginning to the end, Milton Cheney had never blindly trusted the instinctive perception of his demon body.
After all, for all this time since he had reincarnated into this World, he had never sensed any other Demon.
The previous Milton Cheney didn’t know why.
But having retained this batch of Inherited Memory, Milton Cheney had some different conjectures in his heart.
It was because he was only a juvenile Demon at the moment, so his Perceptual Ability had not fully developed.
If Demons were compared to Humans, then a Demon’s Perceptual Ability actually represented a Human’s vision.
Demons use instinct to sense everything around them, much like Humans using their eyes to observe their surroundings.
And right now, Milton Cheney was but a juvenile Demon.
If he hadn’t retained the memory of his previous life, then the current Milton Cheney would be like an infant Human.
How a Human infant would contemplate problems, Milton Cheney did not know.
How a demon’s infant body would ponder problems is something Milton Cheney also didn’t know, because he was destined not to know.
The reason was that he was bound to carry all memories of his past life when he underwent Reincarnation Simulation.
And carrying all memories of a past life meant that Milton Cheney’s way of thinking would never be the same as those newly born infant demons.
It couldn’t possibly be the same.
Milton Cheney could never simply discard all his memories and then view the world from the perspective of a true infant demon.
Not to mention that Milton Cheney was simply incapable of discarding his memories.
Even if the Simulator had that option, Milton Cheney wouldn’t choose to do so.
After all, if he did, he would inevitably be greatly influenced, and even the purpose of Reincarnation Simulation would be lost.
You see, the world seen by a baby and the world seen by an adult are completely different.
The same applies to demons.
The worlds perceived by infant demons and Advanced Demons could never be exactly the same.
This was the conjecture in Milton Cheney’s mind.
Perhaps the reason he could not perceive the existence of other demons was that he now possessed the eyes of an infant.
His way of thinking couldn’t possibly be the same as other infant demons because he retained memories from a past life.
But the memories of a past life certainly wouldn’t affect his demon body.
Therefore, no matter how different his thought processes might be, his Perceptual Ability still belonged to that of an infant demon.
It’s like a child who has the memories of an adult, but the world seen through their eyes remains different from that of an adult.
This is the influence of the body, unrelated to memory and experience.
Milton Cheney was quite confident that this conjecture was indeed the fact of the matter.
After all, apart from this, Milton Cheney could think of no other explanation.
The former Milton Cheney couldn’t grasp this point because he himself never considered that he was an infant demon.
Now, having retained the Inherited Memory, Milton Cheney clearly understood that he was an infant demon.
It was just that, because of his past life memories, he never viewed himself as an infant demon.
It’s like an adult reborn; would they live their life again truly as a baby? It’s almost impossible.
Sometimes, the impact of memories is subtle and gradual.
In this subtlety, the owner of the memories might not even notice any problems.
The former Milton Cheney was in such a situation.
Just like when Milton Cheney reincarnated into any world at the moment of birth, he never regarded himself as a true infant.
However, this time, the Inherited Memory awakened Milton Cheney.
It made him keenly aware of his true identity.
It was this self-awareness that led Milton Cheney to this speculation.
Even this conjecture had a great likelihood of being true.
But however likely it might be, until verified, it could only be a possibility, only a conjecture.
In fact, verifying this conjecture was very simple.
That was for Milton Cheney to see if, with the passage of time, there would be a different perception around him compared to before.
If the ability to perceive did indeed grow stronger with the passage of time, then it must mean that his Perceptual Ability was growing.
And in this way, naturally, it could be verified whether his conjecture was indeed a fact.
The next moment, Milton Cheney completely set aside all thoughts in his mind.
Abyssal doesn’t keep time, but still, the gears of time were continuously turning.
It’s just that within the Abyssal World, the speed at which time’s gears turned was incredibly slow.
Milton Cheney had never been lax in perceiving his surroundings.
Finally, at a certain moment, Milton Cheney’s perception of his surroundings once again underwent a new change.
