Is it… my imagination?

Li Yao mumbled to himself, “I feel that, in this virtual world, my capability has increased by more than a hundred times, and my level is unbelievably high.

“Tam a cloud in the sky. 1am a grass on the ground. I am a flowing stream in the mountains. I am a dancing butterfly in the flowers. I can appear next to all the living creatures in thousands of towns at the same time and communicate with them through dreams. As long as my computational ability is

good enough, I will be everywhere and invincible!

“Lam not transparent. I have completely melded with this world. As long as I want to, no one will be able to discover me. Even the Fuxi cannot detect my existence.

“But I’ve also grasped the fundamental rules of the world. With a telepathic thought of mine, the heaven and the earth will collapse, lightning will swirl around me, and everything in the world will shiver in my fury. The so-called ‘picking the stars from the sky’ and ‘resurrecting the dead’ are just the flow

and disturbance of data for me.

What a marvelous level it is! It is like a real Buddha!

“It is impossible to distinguish a Cultivator in the Divinity Stage from a Cultivator in the Void Refinement Stage. This is the ultimate Dao that only those in the Void Refinement Stage or above can appreciate!

“It’s not an illusion. Over the past few days, with the help of Lu Qingchen’s self-detonation, we have figured out part of the data model of the Fuxi and grasped some of its rules to create a virtual world. Now that we have seized its permissions, it is only natural that we can change or even destroy the place

easily.

“If the center of the mind of the Fuxis is a virtual world, then this is a virtual world in a virtual world,” the mental devil said. “Such a ‘world within a world’ has a very low dimension. We are equivalent to a high-dimensional life form that has invaded this place. We are the real gods and devils!

owe”

Deep in thought, Li Yao perceived the mountains, rivers, flowers, and creatures of this world, as well as the complicated, vigorous data that could be inferred and upgraded on its own.

With a telepathic thought, he slightly altered the environmental data. The blue sky and white clouds, which used to be clear and boundless, immediately rumbled with thunder and gathered a large area of dark clouds, as if thousands of horses were galloping, shocking the world.

“The higher the dimension of a world is, the more realistic it will be, and the more difficult it will be to control and surpass its laws. The lower the dimension of a world is, the less realistic it will be. The higher the ‘virtuality’, the simpler its laws will be, and the more easily it will be invaded and controlled.

Then, it will be able to do whatever it wants inside, just like a devil.”

The mental devil continued its explanation. “A useless, useless, stinky loser in the real world can still summon the wind and summon the rain in the game as long as he activates a virtual game. He can go on a killing spree and grasp all kinds of unbelievable techniques.

“If the background characters and the ‘non-playable characters’ in the game had self-awareness and emotions, wouldn’t the losers in the real world be regarded as deities or ‘intruders of the high-dimensional universe’?

“Therefore, we have just touched the edge of the Soul Division Stage in the real world. But in the ‘World within a World’ where the level of virtualization is extremely high, we can boast the power to destroy the world or create a new one. We will be able to compete with the Fuxi Clan at a certain point in

time and on a certain level!

“How can a virtual game character have self-awareness?”

Li Yao asked.

“Then, do you think that the people living in the virtual world created by Fuxi are human beings with self-awareness?

Before Li Yao replied, the mental devil continued, “I don’t know whether or not they have self-awareness and whether or not they are human beings, but I am certain that they do have emotions. They are scared, they are in pain, and they can feel happiness and happiness. If you send down

Hellfire-Lightnings, destroy the world, and slaughter countless ‘virtual humans’, you will definitely hear their cries and desperate screams.

“You can consider everything to be false and piled up by the data of the Fuxi Clan. But what is ‘true’ exactly? Are human beings made of data necessarily lower class and less real than those made of cells? Are their pain and desperation not real pain and desperation? Are their happiness and happiness

worthless?

“I— don’t know.”

Li Yao seemed to be in a trance. “Honestly speaking, I’m confused again about what is true, what is false, what is high-dimensional, and what is low-dimensional. It’s always like this. Every time I think that I’ve found the ultimate ‘truth’, I often see bigger, deeper fakes behind the truth. Hollow, hollow,

and hollow. How difficult it is to see through fakes!

“Maybe, truth or falsehood is not an absolute concept but a relative one. There is no absolute truth or falsehood in the concepts of degree, only the difference between ‘real’ and ‘false’.

The mental devil pondered for a moment and said, “Like what we are seeing right now, the virtual world built up by the data inside the crystal processor is relatively low-dimensional. It is ‘fake’, but it does not mean that it is not real.

“As for our so-called real world, it is nothing more than an amalgamation of electrons, neutrons, atoms, molecules, and various kinds of strong and weak forces. As intelligent creatures living in it, we naturally think that it is real, indestructible, and unchangeable. But if there is a certain kind of

four-dimensional intelligent life that can change the strong and weak forces at will and change the fundamental laws of our universe, is it qualified to think that our three-dimensional universe is also false and is just a joke, a game, or even a bad novel?

“But it’s still too early for the four-dimensional intelligent life to celebrate. Since the people in the virtual worlds can establish their own virtual worlds, there must be a higher-dimensional universe above the high-dimensional universe. Truth and falsehood are like the two ends of an endless, extending

road. Truth has no end, and falsehood has no end, either. No one is qualified to say that they are absolutely real. Everyone has to cultivate, and they have to cultivate in a higher level of reality. Even so, we will never be able to reach our destination. We can only sprint all the way.”

Li Yao was silent. His soul was reflected in the lightning and thunder in the sky like subtle ripples.

“You know what I mean, don’t you?

The mental devil asked.

“Of course, I understand you.”

Li Yao said, “I’ve been thinking about the example you made just now. The loser in the real world who could summon the wind and summon the rain in the virtual world and destroy everything in his way.

“What’s wrong with that?”

The mental devil was dazed for a moment.

“There is nothing wrong with it. On the contrary, it is very appropriate and even reveals the truth of a certain… multiverse.

Li Yao mumbled to himself. His nonexistent brain was aching again. In the extreme pain, more data and information spurted out, making his soul ripples brighter and brighter. Endless enlightenment illuminated his belief like lightning.

“Let’s say that you are right. The more virtual a world is, the more ‘unreal’ it is, and the simpler its fundamental rules are. The more easily it is broken through, the easier it is to show the ever-changing techniques, the colorful spells, and even the inexplicable ‘magic’. Not only the intruders of the

high-dimensional universe, even the natives of this world might be able to break the rules and master the techniques, spells, and ‘magic.

Li Yao said, “But for a certain world or universe, the more ‘realistic’ it is, the more complicated and stable the fundamental rules will be, and the less likely it will be broken through. The number of invaders from the high-dimensional universe and the natives who can surpass them will be fewer, and it will

be less likely that spells, magical weapons, ‘magic’, or ‘battle aura’ will appear. At first glance, the world and the universe will seem more ordinary, won’t they?

“Theoretically, yes.”

The mental devil thought for a moment and said, “For example, the easier a game is, the higher the degree of virtualization will be, and the more spells and skills the player will be able to use. The more difficult a game is, the more realistic it will be. Naturally, the player will not be able to break the rules.

So?

“Therefore, what exactly is ‘Earth’?

Li Yao said, “We thought that the so-called ‘secret arts of Cultivation’ and ‘thousands of techniques’ were closely related to ‘spiritual energy’. Only in a world where spiritual energy was abundant could one perform spells to their heart’s content. Earth was a place where spiritual energy was running dry.

That’s why there were no supernatural phenomena, secret techniques, or magical energy on Earth.

“But it doesn’t make sense.

“If Earth really does not have spiritual energy and is just an ordinary pebble in the sea of stars and the multiverse, why is it the center of a flood, why are billions of experts trapped, and why is the soul of all the experts trapped in… an endless loop?

“Therefore, can you explain it in accordance with your ‘realism’ theory? Earth is in fact a high-dimensional universe, or even a ‘high-dimensional universe. It is countless times higher than the world dimensions of cultivators who have cultivated for 40,000 years. Perhaps it is also countless times higher

than the multiverse dimensions such as the magical universe. In other words, Earth is more ‘realistic’, and its fundamental laws are more solid and difficult to break through. It is like an indestructible cage!

“It’s not that Earthlings can’t perform techniques or magic. It’s just that they can’t do so on Earth. Once they enter the Pangu Universe, the Magic Universe, and other low-dimensional universes, they will immediately gain the ‘advantage of descending to a different dimension’ and become the center of the

low-dimensional universe. They will be blessed by thousands of luck, loved by countless girls, experienced all kinds of soul-stirring adventures, and become supreme legends, just like me!

“Although I don’t want to admit it, what you said does make a little bit of sense,” the mental devil said. “Earth is not an ordinary planet where spiritual energy is running dry. It is a more realistic and solid cage.. In fact, in the range of the raging tides, Earth is the most ‘real’ place in the highest dimension!
