Chapter 112: Diary (4)
The Tower of Despair is a scam.
The Borderlands is a dream of all things returning to ruins. From the moment we stepped into this space, all of us were asleep.
The Tower of Despair, the Game House, the Palace, the Void Beast, the Curse, all of them are just projections of our dreams.
I should have discovered all of this a long time ago. But the reason why I didn't find out was that this was not an ordinary dream, but a dream that millions of people from other races had come here to weave together. The power of this dream is so powerful, and the dreams of different races are intertwined and overlapped, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a real dream.
If we say that all the adventures we have experienced, in the end we find out that they are all illusions of self-wishful thinking, it is self-evident how painful it is to feel when we wake up.
If you think that dying in a dream will leave this world, it is too whimsical.
Because the exit of the dream is not there at all...... Death. If you die in a dream, you will be treated the same as if you were dying in the real world, and there will be no difference.
Dear reader, if you read this, it doesn't matter if you are a Terran or any other race (of course, for my personal feelings, I would prefer to read here as a Terran, whether you are a future or an ancient one). Remember, the only exit from this dream is the eleventh floor of the Tower of Despair, and that's where the true way out of the dream is to get out.
And this is also the almost unsolvable paradox of this dream.
To reach the top of the Tower of Despair, you must first pass through the near-unsolvable seven-story gaming room. (If you fail, you will really be created into another life form, imprisoned in this dream and endure the torment of endless time and space, so please read this reader must be cautious) And at the top of the Tower of Despair, the so-called being able to realize any dream was just a hoax from the beginning. Will the Lord of Despair make good on his promise to the victor? Absolutely, but the way it does it is by creating a new dream, and then casting the consciousness of the victor into it, making the victor think that he has achieved his dream.
For example, if I were the victor, when I proposed to destroy the Eternals, the Lord of Despair would never actually go to this universe to destroy the Eternals, but instead plunge me into a deeper dream. In this dream, the Eternals have been destroyed, and my wish has been fulfilled in disguise, but only I know that the world line of the real world has not changed at all.
When you make a wish, whether it is a small or grand wish, the Lord of Despair can grant it for you in the form of a dream, but on the other hand, it also means that you will be trapped in the dream forever.
There is another way to go, and that is to reach the top floor of the Tower of Despair and refuse to make a wish. This is the only way to leave the dream, however, by refusing to bring it up, you will also be judged to have failed the final test. In other words, you can't escape the fate of becoming an Aguston.
Two choices, either way, you can't get out of this dream.
From the beginning, the dream was unsolvable.
Make your choice, new adventurer.
Li Yuan's pen.
Also: I have recorded all the contents of my diary in eleven languages in different ancient books. As long as you're a human being and can read any of these eleven languages, that's fine. The remaining ten languages are all about the same thing.
————
At this time, Lu Lie had already turned to the last page of the diary.
I'm not sure if this guy is telling the truth, but even if there is a 1 in 10,000 chance, it's bad enough.
When you reach the top of the Tower of Despair, you find that everything is a dream, and what is worse is that you can't get out of this dream, whether you want it or not, what is the point of all the efforts you have made since you came here from the beginning?
I remember that when I was in the belly of the Void Beast, the Dried Corpse of the Cross and the Giant Child of Green Mist had also said that the Lord of Despair had deceived everyone from the beginning, and that it had no intention of letting anyone clear the level.
Now it seems that those alien races who lose the game and end up locked up in the universe may not have used up all their bets in the game room and failed. Some of them reached the top floor and realized it was a dream. In order to return to reality from the dream, he did acts such as refusing to make a wish, and was finally judged by the world to have failed to clear the level, and was thrown into the universe.
From this point of view, the time giant who pushed himself here in the first place was really harmful. Although this bastard has helped himself many times in the giant tree, as soon as he reached the top of the giant tree, he pit himself twice in succession.
The next time you see Li Yuan, you must complain about it.
If I ever live to see that guy in my life.
The ideal dream and the cruel reality, which side to choose between the two, Lu Lie has already made a choice in the dream of Qiqi. If he had to do it again here, he would still not hesitate and would choose to return to reality.
But the problem is that this time is fundamentally different from the dream of poor Qi, he has no choice. To die here is to be really dead, and to be alive is not to be much better, and at worst, to be made into an Aguston and thrown into the universe, turning this broken dream into a never-ending nightmare.
As the diary keeper put it, this is an unsolvable paradox. Diary keepers from hundreds of years ago gave only questions, but not answers. Now in front of him is a new problem - it is very likely that he will pass the Tower of Despair, but he is still helpless in the face of this paradox on the eleventh layer.
What Li Yuan said......
Wait, Li Yuan???
Lu Lie was a little confused all of a sudden, he quickly picked up the diary that he had put aside casually, hurriedly turned to the last page and confirmed it again.
Although it is the text of the gods, it is very clear when translated into Chinese characters, and it is the word "Li Yuan".
Lu Lie felt that he was a little confused, was it exactly the same name? Otherwise, how could Li Yuan, who had been on the giant tree for so long, come here? Or did Li Yuan, who was here, really use some special method to leave this dream in the end, and later went to the giant tree to take himself and Su Wen and Yang Wei on an adventure together?
Although the possibility of the latter is as small as winning a lottery, Lu Lie knows very well the urine nature of this world, no matter how strange things are, as long as there is a possibility of happening, it will happen.
Speaking of which, since he and Li Yuan met, he really hasn't confirmed with him whether his name is Li Yuan, Li Yuan, Li Yuan, or something else.
If only that guy in his mind was here, let him take a look, and he should have an impression.
Lu Lie was helpless, and there was no way to verify this kind of thing here. He casually put down the ancient book in his hand.
There was a click, and something fell to the ground.
Lu Lie looked back and saw that in the mezzanine at the bottom of the ancient book, a small paper shell had fallen. He bent down and picked it up, and found that there was a string of symbols written on it that he couldn't read:
*#&*%¥
Turning the paper industry around, I found another string of symbols with the same style, but I also didn't understand the meaning:
*$(&($&(&
Lu Lie frowned: "What the hell is this, can't this bastard translate it with the question of the gods again." ”
The handwriting on the paper shell is completely different from the handwriting on the ancient book, and it should not have come from one person.
Suddenly, Lu Lie felt a deep sleep. Perhaps it is because reading the words of the gods is too consuming for people's minds. He put the paper in his pocket, and let his body slowly fall to the ground with sleepiness.
......
When Lu Lie woke up again, he felt that his skull hurt like crazy, as if he had just experienced a tsunami.
Thankfully, the pain of waking up quickly disappeared in the seconds that followed. Lu Lie stood up, said good morning to the box that had gathered the skeleton, and walked out of the Human Palace in a hurry. Speaking of which, three or four days have passed since he came to the third layer. Lu Lie was ready to go out for a walk, looking for some more useful clues about the Tower of Despair.
Of course, his current plan is to wander around these no-man's lands for the time being, and maybe he can find one or two other abandoned palaces and find some treasures in them. As for running to the palace of a big alien race, such as the Baby-faced Man or the Thousand-Eyed Giant, and connecting with each other, forget it. Lu Lie knew that the favorite food of this Thousand-Eyed Giant was humans, and he didn't want to become a dish on someone else's table tonight.
Just when Lu Lie was driving around on the third floor, he inadvertently turned around and saw a slender tall and thin figure sneaking into his palace while he was away.
"Boy, you're really touching the tiger's ass and looking for death. Seeing that he had just gone out of the house not long ago, someone had stolen his home, Lu Lie didn't say anything about his anger, he directly picked up a stone pillar like a burning stick in the ruins of the abandoned palace, and hurriedly ran home to guard the house.
On the way to the Human Palace, Lu Lie thought for a moment: Could it be that a new human passed through the game room and teleported to the third floor?
But then he dismissed his idea: looking at the black shadow so tall and thin, you really can't associate it with a human. If he really wanted to say it, Lu Lie felt that this body shape was more like the body shape of the baby-faced people.
Baby-faced people, baby-faced people......
Speaking of the baby-faced man, Lu Lie was impressed by this race that spat out a five-character mantra and was able to use a secret technique that made the opponent unable to play or even more secretive. The reason why the guys I met in the city of the Lost God was useless was because they were already in the state of the living dead, and the five-character mantra they spit out was not recognized.
