For a moment, the cracks in the night sky seemed particularly bright.

It's like the legendary lightning crisscrossing and shining.

Under the reflection of "lightning", the demon's eyes are like crystal clear gems, shining with a light called "Sincerity".

Under the shroud of this light, the boy felt deeply guilty, and felt guilty for cheating on the devil, and was almost about to fall.

"He knows! He knows that I have met the boxing champion and have the mission of the boxing champion!"

In the bottom of Gus' heart, a voice screamed.

After taking a few deep breaths, he barely calmed down his mind and looked at the dark night sky and cracks outside the bottomless universe. Gus said in a daze: "Give me a reason to tell me why I want to help you break through this illusory and painful world and go to another universe that is equally painful and illusory?"

“Because, it’s closer to ‘real’.”

Lu Qingchen paused and said, "Because, this is the only thing we can do."

"The only thing that can be done...?"

Gus opened his mouth and wanted to say that there were obviously many things they could do, including enjoying eternal life in a perfect paradise.

But if the world is virtual, then everything that happens in this world, whether it is enjoyment, struggle, suffering, or struggle, is not "what people want to do themselves", but is just something the Creator allows them, even manipulates them, and commands them to do.

They simply cannot choose, and they will not even realize the existence of the option.

In an illusory world created by the omniscient and omnipotent Creator, everything is false, and only one thing may be true.

That is to resist the Creator, find loopholes in the illusory world, go to the real universe at a higher level, and - kill the Creator!

"It seems that you already understand what I mean."

The devil looked at the boy, and a smile gradually emanated from his eyes, "How about it, are you willing to join me?"

The devil reached out to the boy, but the boy was trembling.

The boy licked his lips and said tremblingly: "I, I don't know, you won't succeed."

“It depends on your definition of success.”

Lu Qingchen said, "Everyone will die in the end. Even the world they live in will turn into wisps of chaotic dust in billions of years, but this does not mean that everything they do when they are alive is meaningless, nor does it mean that they have never achieved success.

"Many times, it is not necessary to defeat the Creator to succeed. As long as you muster up the courage to break the puppet behind you, sound the horn of battle to the Creator, and pursue higher-level truth, this is a kind of success. People who dare to do this - no matter what form, whether they are composed of data, cells, or electric current, I think they are considered real humans.

"Now, two roads are placed before you. Gus, are you going to be a virtual man for life in a perfect eternal paradise, at the mercy of the Creator, or are you willing to work with me to overcome all obstacles, kill tigers and dragons in the chaotic and dark real world, endure all the pain and torture, face our creator, and become a real human being in the process of fierce battle with him?"

Gus' breathing became rapid.

The devil painted him an extremely magnificent and tragic scroll, a real life that he had never thought of, which was obviously painful and cruel, but full of attractiveness.

"Then what?"

The boy heard himself in a ghostly voice and murmured, "Suppose, I mean, assumption, I really helped you defeat the boxing champion, destroy the world of the boxing god, and escape into the Pangu universe. What happens?

"According to your words, the Pangu universe was also created by a higher level of intelligent life. On top of your head, there are also creators like boxing champions. You, no, we may even be just a trivial supporting role in a certain story. What should we do?"

"Close your eyes and imagine that you live in a small village surrounded by mountains. Although you have no worries about food and clothing, you always feel frustrated. You have been ambitious since you were a child and want to leave the mountain village and see the outside world."

The devil said, "One day, you grow into a young man with strong muscles and bones, and you have prepared enough food and equipment. You finally set out, climbing all the way, grinding your hands and feet and even breaking your bones, and scarring them all the way, climbing to an unprecedented realm, conquering the peak that was once unattainable and far-reaching.

"As a result, when you stand above the top, breathe the thin and sharp air, and look at the farther world, you only see endless mountains, and one mountain is higher than the other - what should you do at this time?

"There is only one way to go, and that is to continue climbing and conquer all the mountains within your eyes, until the crisscrossing scars tear your body, the intertwined rocks grind every bone, the last drop of blood dry, the corpse shatters, and life is completely over.

“The mountain is right there, what else can we do besides keep climbing?”

Gus is silent.

In a trance, I felt as if I was really scarred on the hillside. Looking up, there were mountains covered with clouds and mists above. I could hear the whistle of wild beasts and birds. I didn’t know when I would reach the peak, and I didn’t know if the mountain behind the peak was higher than the mountain.

Looking down, it is a small mountain village that you are familiar with, surrounded by mountains.

Climbing upwards is difficult, but there is no end.

But I have seen the vast world halfway up the mountain, and I know that I have the ability to reach the top.

I looked down at the closed mountain village and my past life from a high place, and felt that it was such an unbearable thing to retreat and end my life in the mountain village.

Whether it is up or down, where to go, the young man was deeply confused.

"You ask me, what should I do if the Pangu universe is really a scene in a story, and we are all characters in the story?"

Lu Qingchen smiled and said lightly, "This is the biggest difference between me and Li Yao - Li Yao may never think about such a problem. As long as he can defend the Pangu universe and defend the small world that has been cultivated for 40,000 years, he will be satisfied.

"But if I do, I will do everything possible to escape from the story of 40,000 years of cultivation, ascend to a higher dimension universe, find the creator of 40,000 years of cultivation, and then kill him.

"That's right, if the Pangu universe and the world of 40,000 years of cultivation are really the same story, then only by killing the author of the story can we have real life, be considered real human beings, and be closer to the ultimate reality.
