"The low barrier to entry does not mean that you can step in at will. Once you step in, it's hard to step out. This is really a good way to attract people to join the gang. Zuo Zhe sighed.

"The world is a pyramid, and there are naturally more people at the base of the pyramid, and the cost of pulling people into the gang is also the lowest. Only if there are enough participants at the bottom can the upper power of the pyramid be supported. The old man also said helplessly.

"So, it's a good idea for you to bring me in." Zuo Zhe asked.

"It's nature. If there is no good thing, who will come all the way to run errands? The old man said assumedly.

"Unfortunately, not everyone in this world is afraid of difficulties. If you take a detour in the face of difficulties, it is indeed possible to find a shortcut around them. However, there are some difficulties that must not be detoured. Once a detour has been chosen, it is no longer possible to solve the difficulty. Zuo Zhe shook his head slowly but firmly.

"Now that you've made your decision, you're the only enemy. For me, it's even better to be able to pull you into the gang. However, even if you can't get you in, you'll get something to gain. It wasn't a loss-making deal for me in the first place. The old man said absently.

"No, the options on the surface of the world are often not optimal. The real best options are often hidden. Zuo Zhe said in a deep voice, "Just like a student exam, the best solution to answer the exam questions is not to answer the exam questions on the exam paper according to the existing knowledge, but to let the marking teacher compare the standard answers and copy the answers for himself." ”

"In that case, then why take the exam? Isn't the purpose of the exam to test your knowledge? The old man asked.

"No, the purpose of the exam is not to validate competency, but to rank second. If it weren't for the sake of ranking, there would be no need for an exam at all. Just let the students practice what they have learned in their heads. Because the number of teachers is much smaller than the number of students, and most of the students do not have enough resources, it is necessary to select a small number of suitable students from among the students and give them specific qualifications and resources. ”

"So what?" The old man asked.

"Why don't you choose to join me, but you have to pull me in? Can your gang give you the strength to become stronger? Zuo Zhe asked seriously.

"Can you, then?" The old man asked with a solemn expression.

"At least not better than where you are now. If you don't change, it's hard to change. Now that you've been reduced to this field, what can't you do? Zuo Zhe asked rhetorically.

"The premise is that you can show me the light of day, not just rhetoric." The old man said his conditions very seriously.

"You should know the difference between gods and ancient gods, right?" Zuo Zhe asked.

"It's nature." The old man said in a deep voice.

"So what if I told you that I was actually following the transcendent path of the Old Gods?" Zuo Zhe asked.

"Since you are following the transcendent path of the ancient gods, why do you need to rely on the power of these ants?" The old man asked suspiciously.

"The path of transcendence will only get narrower and narrower, and this is a dead end." Zuo Zhe replied seriously.

"You're right, but only if you can get to the top of the pyramid. For you and me, who are in the middle of the pyramid, what qualifications do you have to say that? The old man asked.

"Of course we have!" Zuo Zhe replied without hesitation, "If you don't even have a goal, how can you succeed?" ”

"Success depends on strength and hard work, not ambition." The old man shook his head.

"For ordinary people, success depends on strength and hard work. But for us, success depends on how high and low our goals are. Those who aim high are more favored by the world. Zuo Zhe said.

"What? Are you telling the truth? Hearing this, the old man finally showed a shocked look, and looked at Zuo Zhe opposite in disbelief.

"There are many laws in this world, but do you know what the most cutting-edge laws are?" Zuo Zhe asked.

"Sir, please." Hearing this, the old man immediately lowered his posture and looked respectfully like a student with an extremely upright attitude.

"There are three cutting-edge laws in this world, the first is the inherent law of the world, that is, the physical rules that operate in the universe. The second major law is the law of life for the reproduction of living organisms. So, do you know what the third cutting-edge law is? Zuo Zhe asked.

"The rules of physics and the laws of life?" After thinking about it carefully, the old man nodded in agreement with Zuo Zhe's statement. As for the question asked by Zuo Zhe, the old man immediately thought about it carefully.

After a while, the old man asked uncertainly, "Could it be the law that switches between the unreal and the real?" ”

"Yes, it's the law of dreams coming true." Zuo Zhe replied.

"Dreams come true, dreams come true, dreams come true......" muttered to himself, and the old man's eyes gradually became confused, and he fell into a state of wandering outside the object.

The next moment, a gap was torn open in the space, and the "Pangu" from the small universe where dreams came true finally found Zuo Zhe who had exposed a huge flaw, and the next moment he launched a deadly attack on Zuo Zhe without hesitation!

"So that's the law of dreams come true!" Suddenly attacked, the old man who was surrounded by the law of disorder was flushed and excited, feeling the damage of the law of dreams come true to himself like a masochist, and feeling the power of the law of dreams come true like a madman.

"Sure enough, it's the top law power, it's really too powerful!" In the midst of wild laughter, the old man's law, which had been stagnant for a long time, finally had a glimmer of hope for breaking through the bottleneck!

"Damn, I was cheated by him!" Pangu, who launched an attack in the small universe, scolded angrily, and immediately wanted to pull the crazy old man into his home field.

"You're thinking too much." In the midst of a sneer, Zuo Zhe, who had arranged an illusion on the periphery with the laws of the real world, sent out his full blow!

"Damn, it's my prey, it's become so strong!" Amid the cursing, "Pangu" had to retreat to his home turf.

"How's it going, how does this gift work for you?" Zuo Zhe asked.

"What a gift, I do have a good feeling. In return for you, I will not be your enemy for a short time. As for whether or not to form an alliance with you in the future, it depends on the strength you can show. The old man broke away from the perception of his dream come true, and said absent-mindedly.

"The problem is, you're seriously injured right now. Can you go without my permission? Zuo Zhe asked with a smile.

"It's true that I'm not lightly injured, but I have a lot of background. At best, you're just hurting me more, and you can't take me down at all. The old man said disapprovingly.

"Indeed, as you say, I can only seriously injure you, but I cannot capture you." Zuo Zhe smiled and said, "But I only need to beat you to a serious injury, so I can delay your qualifications to recover your strength or even go further." I want to ask you, after you find that your strength has further qualifications, can you still endure a long period of stagnation? ”

Breaking away from the outside of the spirit, the old man took a deep look at Zuo Zhe, and finally found that each other's status had changed. Before, the old man forced Zuo Zhe to join the gang by threatening Zuo Zhe. But now, after the old man's strength was weakened, he was in turn subjected to Zuo Zhe's criticism. If there is still no opportunity to improve his strength, the old man can still be tough again with his years of experience. But now that there is a chance to break through the bottleneck of strength and go further, how can the old man endure the stagnation of strength for a long time?

It's like going through a lot of hardships and finally seeing the traces of an oasis in the desert trek, can the trekker still endure the incomparable desire for clear water and continue to move forward slowly?

If there is no hope, no amount of temptation is of any use. This is like for the eunuch, no matter how tempting the beautiful woman on the opposite side poses, the eunuch will not have any reaction that a man should have, but will be provoked.

But if the eunuch's missing organs are re-transplanted, can the eunuch who has been a eunuch for a long time still be able to endure it?

The old man's heart, which had been silent for many years, was active again, and he could no longer endure the stagnation of his strength in despair as before. Therefore, at this time, the desire to become stronger became extremely strong, and I could not allow myself to continue to delay time.

And at this time, Zuo Zhe, who was originally not valued, stood up and got stuck in a position that made the old man extremely uncomfortable. had the heart to fight Zuo Zhe to the death, but the old man didn't do it in the end.

After looking at Zuo Zhe deeply for a while, the old man took a deep breath and introduced himself, "Let me introduce myself, I am the commissioner appointed by the Upper Realm in the Galaxy Alliance. You can call me 'Old Ancestor'. ”

"Ancestor? Your name is a bit of an advantage for me! Zuo Zhe said dissatisfied.

"If you don't want to call me by that name, then you can call me 'Lao Tzu'." The old man said immediately.

"Lao Tzu?"

Zuo Zhe was extremely impressed by this title. Because the title of "Lao Tzu" is too familiar. Looking at the old man who called himself "Lao Tzu", Zuo Zhe frowned and asked, "Are you also a traverser?" ”

"Traverser?" Slightly surprised, Lao Tzu thought about it and then said, "It's okay to say that, I am indeed not from this world, I have crossed over from other worlds." ”

"Your name is Lear?" Zuo Zhe asked again.

"No, my name is 'Lao Tzu'."

"What are you talking about in the Upper Realm?" Zuo Zhe changed the subject and asked.

"The world isn't as big as you think. There is only one star system in this world. The worlds beyond the star system are all illusory. Lao Tzu said something that shocked Zuo Zhe.

"After reaching a certain level of strength, you will leave this world and enter the upper realm. In contrast to the Upper Realm, this is the Lower Realm. Haven't you noticed that this world has a huge limit on the strength of the strong? Lao Tzu replied as a matter of course.
