Genius Club - Chapter 1466 - 1: Truth Club
Chapter 1466: Chapter 1: Truth Club
“We willingly gather together, using the power of 42 to maintain cosmic balance and stabilize time and space; 42 is both a threshold and an invitation. We only appear when a new individual comprehends 42 and extends an invitation.”
“Join us, and in the Truth Club, there will be more universal truths and laws shared with you. At the same time, you will shoulder great responsibility and mission, fulfilling duties over a long period of time.”
Lin Xian stood up straight.
He looked at the statue man:
“I must clarify in advance, perhaps I am not that great. Before fulfilling those duties, I must protect Earth, protect humanity, protect the people around me.”
“Therefore, I may not be able to achieve absolute fairness, especially when it touches my hometown, family and friends, and the interests of the Solar System, I will certainly be biased.”
“That’s completely normal.”
The statue man replied calmly:
“The universe is vast and accommodates everything. Moreover, it’s your right. Just like my suggestion to not completely destroy the Piling Civilization you mentioned, I am merely advising and listing the conditions you can accept… rather than forcibly preventing you.”
“Rather, Lin Xian, if you want to better protect your friends, relatives, hometown, and Earth, you should join the [Truth Club] to become even stronger.”
Lin Xian nodded.
This was something he had decided in the past few days.
At the moment, his understanding of the universe constant 42 is still shallow, with many laws he has never comprehended.
Being backward means being beaten, only with strength can one negotiate, or… negotiation may not even be necessary.
“I join.”
Lin Xian replied solemnly:
“I agree to join… the Truth Club.”
The statue man unexpectedly showed a rare smile:
“Welcome, Lin Xian, the 27th member of the Truth Club.”
“27 members?”
Gao Yang walked over with his hands behind his back:
“Only 27 people in the Truth Club? That’s too few! I thought your team was in the thousands!”
“Universal truths aren’t so easy to understand and master.”
The statue man answered softly:
“But speaking of it… your human species is indeed unexpected, restricted by the carbon-based limits on any world line, unable to break through civilization barriers, yet… in the realm of wisdom, one cannot help but admire them.”
“In the entire Truth Club, with you included, there are a total of 27 members, and humans alone occupy two seats. The other 25 members come from different civilizations… this is indeed a miracle peculiar to the human race.”
?
Lin Xian and Gao Yang exchanged a glance, furrowing their brows.
Two?
Which means…
In the Truth Club, besides Lin Xian, there is actually another Earth human!
“Another human?” Lin Xian asked.
“Yes.”
The statue man nodded:
“He comes from a different world line than yours, but similarly realized and mastered 42 on Earth. According to your Earth time calculations… he mastered the cosmic truth of 42 many years earlier than you.”
“Then why didn’t he come to meet me?”
Lin Xian shrugged:
“Since he’s also human, we’re both Earth people, wouldn’t it be easier to communicate if he came?”
“How to put it… I have no opinion about you, but your form and appearance do resemble, yet don’t quite resemble humans, always giving a chilling uncanny valley sensation.”
“Is that so?”
The statue man’s expression remained unchanged:
“I thought this was the appearance most aligned with human aesthetics, so I specifically changed into this form for easier communication.”
“As you can see, the civilization I come from is a form of spiritual life; our earliest ancestors weren’t of this form but evolved through self-selection.”
“As for why that fellow Earth human club member didn’t come to find you… in truth, he’s embarrassed to see you.”
“Embarrassed?”
Lin Xian narrowed his eyes:
“I don’t understand your meaning. Do I know him? Or have I met him?”
“No, you haven’t met or known him.”
The statue man looked at Lin Xian:
“This is also why I was late today, because that member entrusted me, if you agreed to join the Truth Club today, to bring you a word to avoid awkwardness at the next meeting, and to apologize—”
“[Sorry for stealing your Rhein Cat, apologies in advance to you as the creator.]”
Oh.
Lin Xian understood.
It should be that club member, on another world line, stole the idea of Rhein Cat and claimed it as his own.
“There’s nothing to apologize for.”
Lin Xian waved his hand:
“The idea of Rhein Cat was stolen by me initially too, not my original creation. In essence, I’m also a little thief.”
“No…”
The statue man shook his head:
“Rhein Cat was originally your creation, only stolen by him early on and renamed to Keke Cat; coincidentally, you inadvertently snatched it back and even reverted its name to Rhein Cat… truly an interesting reincarnation.”
Lin Xian blinked.
He really hadn’t thought that there would be such a connection surrounding Rhein Cat.
“I’m quite looking forward to meeting him.”
Lin Xian smiled and said:
“I really want to ask him why he changed the nice name Rhein Cat to Keke Cat? Obviously, Rhein Cat sounds much better than Keke Cat.”
“He doesn’t think so; he believes that Keke Cat sounds better.”
The statue man’s entire body emitted light, reverting to a light cluster state:
“I hope when you attend the first gathering in the future… don’t quarrel with your compatriot over such a trivial matter.”
“Goodbye, Lin Xian. We all look forward to meeting again at the next Truth Club gathering.”
