Chapter 2: Choices
After figuring out who this "Li Yuan" in front of him was, Li Yuan asked Lu Lie the second question again: "Did you teleport back to this world through the Time Giant...... Oh no, if it were the Time Giant, it should have teleported back with you. So, teleport you back...... It's the Tower of Despair in the Borderlands. ”
Lu Lie was shocked again.
He originally thought that he already knew a lot of secrets about the world, and he also knew Li Yuan's ultimate identity. However, he only realized now that he was like a blind man touching an elephant, there were too many secrets in this world, whether it was the Tower of Despair, or Li Yuan, or the Giant Tree World, he hadn't even figured out one ten-millionth of them.
"Do you know of the existence of the Tower of Despair?" Lu Lie swallowed bitterly.
Li Yuan had a rare smile in his eyes, and glanced at him: "How many floors have you climbed?"
Lu Lie thought for a while: "Originally, it should be regarded as the fifth layer. But when I pushed open the door to the fifth floor, I appeared here for no apparent reason. ”
"That's enough. Li Yuan said, "In the human palace on the third floor, you can see the handwriting I left there...... If that human palace is still there. ”
"Sure enough, it's you!" Lu Lie's ass jumped up as if it was on fire, "Mom, you really don't know how surprised Lao Tzu was when he finally saw the words 'Li Yuanjue', I thought it was just a simple rename!"
He then shot out one question after another like a cannon and pointed at Li Yuan: "Did you really write that masterpiece? You are crawling in the giant tree world, why did you run to the Tower of Despair in the Borderlands? What did you run into? Aren't you already dead there, and how did you get out of there? Also, how do you know that you went to the Tower of Despair in the previous plane, and is it true that the Tower of Despair you said is a dream?" Did you know that after you finished writing your diary, another latecomer inserted a small piece of paper in the middle of your diary......"
"Alright, alright. OK. Li Yuan had to wave his hand again, signaling Lu Lie not to ask any more, "The rice must be eaten one bite at a time, and the questions must be clarified one by one." I'll answer your first question first, then I wrote it, and as for why you asked me why I ran to the Tower of Despair, it's a very simple question...... I don't know exactly what I did in the last plane, but I can figure it out just by figuring it out, and it must have been that 'I' climbed to the top of the giant tree at that time, and wanted to go to the legendary Tower of Despair to seek the Lord of Despair to see what could help me destroy the Eternals. But judging from the results now, I must have failed at that time. ”
Lu Lie looked at Li Yuan with pity: The secrets that this guy is carrying are really far more than he imagined, I really don't know how many places he has run over the giant tree over the years in order to save the destruction of this universe.
"It can't be said to be a failure...... right," suddenly Li Yuan said faintly, "Actually, according to what the Time Giant told me, I went to the Tower of Despair more than once in the previous few planes, although I didn't reach the legendary eleventh floor there, but in a sense, I was able to influence the operation of the Tower of Despair." It's like you've been teleported to this place this time...... It's because the Tower of Despair feels that I've died in the previous plane, so it uses the game room to automatically roll you back. ”
Giggle...... Lu Lie was embarrassed, he had just pitied this guy one second ago, and suddenly realized that he was completely a younger brother in front of this guy the next second. What reached the eleventh layer, that is simply the idea of the weak, as strong as Li Yuan, has already begun to control the entire Tower of Despair.
"So from the first time I saw you, I knew that I had failed again in the last plane. ”
Li Yuan looked at Lu Lie helplessly.
"I don't know how long I was with you and how much happened to me in the last plane, but please tell me as much as you can. Maybe every extra moment will help us on our next trip to the Giant Tree. ”
In the next two hours, Lu Lie originally told Li Yuan all about the five's journey to the giant tree. He said very carefully, as small as the flowers and plants he saw along the road, and he didn't let go of any details, Li Yuan also listened very carefully, and when he heard the critical point, he would interrupt Lu Lie to ask him repeatedly to verify the matter.
In the end, after listening to all this and understanding his own adventure in the previous time and space, Li Yuan was silent in place for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart at this moment.
"I see. After pondering for a long time, Li Yuan said, "It seems that after you reached the fifth layer of the Tower of Despair, I in the Yellow Spring Sea finally died because of what happened to me. So the Tower of Despair forcibly teleported you to this plane for another adventure with me. ”
"So ......"
"I don't know why there is a famine inside the Tower of Despair, or why your timeline is faster than anyone else's. Maybe it's because you've learned that the Tower of Despair is just a dream, or maybe it's because there's alienation going on inside the Tower of Despair, as the note says...... Whatever the situation is, it is something we can't change right now. ”
Li Yuan looked at the skyline in the distance, the sun was slowly setting, and the moon was about to rise.
He made a decision: "In order for you to be able to complete your game room task, and of course, for the sake of the future of our future people, we will go to Huangquanhai." ”
Lu Lie hesitated for a moment: "Don't you wait for the cannibal owl to kill them?"
If the space-time node really returned to the time when he and Li Yuan first met, then there was no doubt that Su Wen and Yang Wei had already climbed up not far away, and the man-eater was about to move. These guys...... But they are all partners who have fought side by side with him in their previous lives, it is impossible to say that they don't want them, if they come again, Lu Lie hopes to see them again.
"No, not only do we not wait for them, but we have to find a way to avoid them. Li Yuan said lightly, "This time we are not going up the tree, but going down the tree, we will face the monster of Huangquanhai...... If you walk with these mortals, not only will they not be able to help anything, but they will also accidentally die in the Yellow Spring Sea. For their sake, and for our sake, let's just go down. ”
