Reborn: Journey To Godhood

As time went on, I taught Jean how to control her powers and understand her differences. I taught her mind techniques that helped calm her and focus her telepathy field to converge, so she wouldn't be overwhelmed by others' thoughts. We spent time biking around the neighborhood, attending family barbecues, and having late-night talks. She even started squabbling with me, shedding her earlier reverence. Two months flew by, and school was around the corner. I adjusted the memories and records at the local county school, placing us both in 5th grade. The kids there tried to assert dominance over me, but they encountered minor misfortunes like tripping or wetting their pants. Now, I'm just blending in, acting like a 5th grader. I plan to live here for long, so I even sealed away a lot of my scientific knowledge, wanting to learn things again for the fun of it.

I was with her for every activity. We enjoyed our lives for two years, after which I planned to implement some changes. In the third year, I sought knowledge about computer systems and programming from global experts. This journey also prompted me to explore my inner world, where I isolated a planet akin to Earth, devoid of cultivation concepts. I accelerated time to a post-industrial era, where people began to engage with digital information. Their materials and methods differed, yet the fundamental concept of programming in their quest for digital era remained. I aspire to start a company, but I need to address my identity first.

Jean is now significantly in control of her telekinetic ability and telepathic controls, under my suggestions. The only noticeable things happened in the past three years is that, our neighbors complained of some unexplained activities like cars flying up and losing gravity etc. First many officers came to investigate and found nothing. There was no further activities until last month when some mutant search teams came up. Jean was nervous after going through their heads seeing all the things they doing to other mutants. She cried. I consoled her. The teams brought out some detection equipment for x gene which didn't work as I covered both of us with my shield.

She was eager to train intensely to gain strength before starting high school. "I want to learn to fight. Teach me, brother," she said, looking at me with puppy eyes. After some thought, I decided to start her on body refining.

Over the next two months, I trained her in my room, teaching her mind techniques like the memory palace and mental defense, along with breathing exercises. After a week, feeling she was ready, I took her to my inner universe for the first time, blocking the heavenly dao and adding rules for outsider entries.

"Jean, this is a lower world I created. I've just added you to my inner world. I will train you here, so please follow my instructions." I also shielded this realm from the Phoenix Force's divine seed.

"I previously explained the X-gene to you. It was likely seeded by the Celestials—powerful beings millions of years ago—as part of their experiments on early humans. Over time, it became dormant in human DNA, waiting for the right conditions to activate. Environmental changes and radiation contributed to its awakening. The first mutant, Apocalypse, marked the start of mutant-kind."

"Oh, so aliens exist... and they made me a super ability person?" she asked, wide-eyed.

"Yes, didn't you hear me talk about parallel universes.. last week?"

"Sorry, I was distracted by my favorite TV show."

"Anyway, you were chosen as a nexus for the Phoenix Force. It's a powerful cosmic entity representing the primal forces of life, death, and rebirth, embodying creation and destruction. It bonds with those it favors, like you."

"But why haven't I felt any different?"

"You were within my shield the whole time. I sensed you absorbing the Phoenix Force and allowed it. You'll become incredibly powerful, able to transform planets and create or destroy stars— when it emerges and if you can maintain control."

"Teach me, Nathan. Why did you keep this from me?"

"...Now, let's focus on your body training from here on."

In the first month, I explained body characteristics and meridian structures, followed by soul and mind fortitude cultivation in the second month. Under my guidance, she began refining her muscles, bones, viscera, blood, and skin to peak performance within a year, aided by some low-level elixirs I created. Her soul grew significantly upon reaching the innate level, allowing her to channel her own Qi to strengthen her body. Now an even more beautiful 12-year-old, she learned to effectively utilize Qi to manage her monthly crimson tide which was the only convenience making her go back to home more often, instructions from my memories of Xiao Ning'er from the TDG world. The soul cultivation manual I created is general-purpose and doesn't require ambient aura to absorb, offering a slow but sufficient growth rate to help her control her overwhelming power and maintain a sane mind.

Next, she trained to increase her telekinetic energy, as I provided the necessary cosmic energy absent in my world. She began by playing with boulders before progressing to larger rocks. After strength training, we shifted to focus on control. Using my own telekinetic abilities and the X-gene, I and her trained our willpower, I guided her in forming telekinetic shields, tearing objects, and flight. I could casually toss around 10,000 tons initially due to my physique, and as I honed my mind over the next six months, my power multiplied many times.

During this time, I captured a prisoner from a nearby kingdom for memory-altering studies, which Jean initially opposed. However, I compelled her by listing his crimes. In the last half-year, we explored the world, where she excitedly absorbed new knowledge. I trained her in martial arts and basic Qi and sword techniques, ensuring she hunted beasts and ate their fried meat without excuses. Interestingly, some young masters from a local clan pursued her, but she easily wasted one who annoyed her too much.

We soon ventured into the wild to train again but were confronted by robbers and gangs with many slaves. After they attacked us, Jean entered a life-and-death battle with their leader, who matched her cultivation level. Unable to bring to kill him, she held back her attacks, resulting in serious injuries. As she defended herself while crying, I manipulated probability, causing her sword to plunge into his heart. Panicked, she found herself surrounded by the others, but I vaporized them, leaving only the slaves unharmed. I consoled her for a week until she regained her usual mood, and she learned about the cruelties faced by the slaves through the robber's memories, which eased her guilt.

I created a small community with homes, farmland, and protective arrays against wild beasts for them, after Jean annoyingly pleaded with me for a while.

After we left, Jean returned to normal, and within a few months, she killed two robbers by squeezing them with telekinetic force without much concern. Our training concluded when she turned 13. 

Her body training was complete, and I had obliterated any germs or outside influences that could disrupt my inner world. We returned to my room after a two-month period outside, during which we occasionally ventured out. Now, she could lift 4,300 kg with one hand, a number that would increase as she matured. I also noticed significant improvements in her telekinetic control and telepathy, as well as her X-gene's ability to store cosmic energy. She could now lift 120 tons telekinetically, up from just 2 tons before. I instructed her on relaxing her muscles and skin with Qi in case she needed to extract blood with a syringe, ensuring it would penetrate otherwise attracting attention, along with other common-sense tips for restraining strength, interacting with ordinary people. I added a few memories to her previous seal to temporarily prevent her from recalling her experiences in my inner world if she tried to convey or answer about them. If she ever were to teach others using her knowledge, the world rules probably won't allow to gain as much as her as cultivation in marvel world follow a different rule.

Our parents were amazed by how much we had changed, thinking it was just a growth spurt as we both looked two years older. We started high school, School resumed, and so did life, though now Jean and I were far from ordinary students. And I copied the high-speed library computer to my home system helped me run my business more easily. After a month of hard work, I created a new scripting language. Using the LoHP, I checked for flaws and optimized it to perfection. The language became flexible enough to work on both old and new systems. After two months of testing on various devices, it was complete.
