Chapter 16: Breaking the Illusion (I)
As Fang Xingchen walked out of the palace gate, the two white jade doors slowly closed.
"Look at it like this, everyone has fallen into an illusion~" These illusions did not have much impact on the stars before, but Sun Tianxiang and other ordinary people were deeply trapped in it and couldn't extricate themselves.
"The creations of the ancient ancestors are so mysterious and full of mythology. Generally speaking, there is no external way to decipher the minds of living beings like this. You can only break the illusion by falling into it. Fang Xingchen thought about how to wake everyone up.
I remember that when Fang Xingchen first entered here, there were two beast roars, confusing him. It's just that Fang Xingchen's mental will is too strong, and only Fang Xingchen has a slight impact. If Fang Xingchen relaxed his vigilance and distracted his willpower, he might be able to enter the illusion realm.
"Then try it~" When he walked past the first fierce beast picture in front of him, Fang Xingchen heard the loud beast roar again, but everyone was fixed on the nine-headed fierce beast picture at the entrance. Fang Xingchen walked over directly, standing on top of this lifelike picture of nine fierce beasts, and began to distract his willpower.
At first, Fang Xingchen heard the beast's roar, which was still the same low roar that he had come in at the beginning, and it couldn't make Fang Xingchen fall into the illusion at all. As Fang Xingchen's willpower was scattered, his mind began to become trance-like. And the sound of the beast's roar also began to get louder and louder as Fang Xingchen's mind dissipated, and the sound became more and more real. It wasn't until Fang Chen's mind was in a hazy state that a nine-headed fierce beast suddenly appeared in front of Fang Xingchen's eyes.
"Is this a fantasy? It feels like a dream, but it doesn't feel like a dream. If it's a dream, how can everyone be in one dream. The appearance of the nine fierce beasts made Fang Xingchen realize that he had entered the illusion set by the ancient ancestors using mysterious means. In the illusion, Fang Xingchen found that everyone was among them, but they all fainted to the ground, as if they had been controlled by multiple illusions.
"Brother Xingchen, is that you?" The space in the illusion is still the scene where the palace is located, but this is not the only complete palace in front of you. Fang Xingchen looked around, the illusionary blue sky and white clouds he was in, and behind him was a group of buildings, and those buildings were the originally destroyed buildings on both sides of the Tongtian Road. In addition to the white jade buildings, there are lotus ponds with clouds and mist, emerald green lawns, and the lawns grow with a variety of rare exotic flowers and plants, and some colorful fish, insects, birds and beasts play among the flowers and plants on the lotus pond and the lawn. From afar, it's a secluded wonderland. And Dantu's figure hid behind a building, calling out to Fang Xingchen, who had just entered the illusion.
"Brother Dantu, I didn't expect you to have some ability, and you didn't fall into multiple illusions. In Fang Xingchen's opinion, everyone fainted in the illusion, they must have been confused by multiple illusions, if they couldn't break the illusion in time, these people would never be able to wake up until they died. And Dantu's shouting made Fang Xingchen realize that the situation was not so bad, and there might be a glimmer of hope.
"Brother Xingchen, are you saying that everything here is an illusion, not true?" Hearing Fang Xingchen say the word illusion, Dantu hesitated for a moment, as if he had thought of something.
"That's right, everything here is fake, you are trapped in the world of illusions, which can be called the virtual world that restricts the mind. It makes it impossible to distinguish between truth and falsehood. "If illusions can be explained better, only the virtual world can match them.
"For example, we are now like souls communicating, and scientifically speaking, we are now mind-consciousness communicating. And this place is like a scene that accommodates the thinking consciousness, so that everyone's thinking consciousness can meet here. And everything here, including the beast in front of you, is a kind of set thinking consciousness, they are like artificial intelligence, they can repeat the initial scene story, and autonomously affect the thinking consciousness of external beings, causing the weak-willed creatures to fall into this setting, unable to clearly recognize whether the scene they are in is true or false, and they are deeply trapped in it. Seeing that Dantu didn't understand what he looked like, Fang Xingchen explained the true appearance of the illusion in more detail. I hope Dantu can know that he has fallen into the confusion of the illusion, and that nothing here is true.
"Listening to Brother Xingchen say this, I should be able to understand that we should be in a soul state now. And everything here is an illusion, and our bodies should still be outside the illusion. Such a detailed explanation made Dantu, who mistakenly thought that everything here was real, suddenly understand his current situation.
"It's great that you can understand, and if you trust me, I can bring you and everyone to their senses. After listening to Dantu's words, Fang Xingchen was finally convinced that Dantu understood his situation, and with the exception of Dantu being sober in the illusion, Fang Xingchen's grasp of cracking the illusion improved a few points.
"Since it's a fantasy, then what do you think, why should I be afraid of you. "If Fang Xingchen's conjecture is correct, in this illusion, as long as he is not afraid of fear, then he can do whatever he wants.
"You are not a human being, you have the breath of a master on you, roar~" Just as Fang Xingchen was about to use his ability to clean up this fierce beast, the nine fierce beasts that originally only existed as artificial intelligence spoke up.
"You actually have an independent thinking consciousness, aren't you a product of illusion?" Fang Xingchen was also startled in the face of the nine fierce beasts that suddenly spat out human words. This made Fang Xingchen's guess completely meaningless.
"Hmph~ I am Kunlun Mountain, a wisp of remnant soul of the Zhenshan Divine Beast, not a product of illusion, if you want to save these human races, you need to prove your strength. If they can defeat me, these Terrans will be able to escape from our confusion. Jiu Shou looked at Fang Xingchen with a hideous face, but from time to time there was a hint of awe.
Be careful, brother, for I am just shocked by its words. All of them hid here, watching everyone fall into a deeper illusion, helpless. Dantu heard the words of the nine fierce beasts, but he didn't have any turmoil in his heart. Because he has become accustomed to the illusion, the other party's words are bewitching.
"If that's the case, your master is Wa Shen Niangniang?" For Dantu's reminder, Fang Xingchen probably knew the tricks of this nine-headed fierce beast to deceive people. and made a gesture of thanks to Dantu. Begin to exchange ideas with the Nine Beasts.
"So what, is this related to the contest between us?" To Fang Xingchen's words, the nine fierce beasts replied very humanely, and it seemed that there was a flaw to follow.
Hearing the words of the nine fierce beasts, Fang Xingchen inexplicably felt that something seemed wrong. Suddenly, I felt that the nine fierce beasts in front of me might really exist, and they were not products similar to artificial intelligence.
At this moment when Fang Chen hesitated, the nine fierce beasts attacked first. With this blow, his front claws hit Fang Xingchen's chest hard, but unfortunately, Fang Xingchen did not suffer any damage, but the feeling of being hit, except that there was no pain, was very real.
"Sure enough, it's not human~ If you don't fight, I'll force you to fight. Let's see what kind of ability you have, and you will be chosen by the master. ”
