"What is the shape of the world? You must have thought about it. It doesn't matter whether the world is flat or round, as long as you keep going in an 'impossible' direction, you will naturally find the answer. The principle of the space-time star array is not easy to explain to you, so to speak, it is a departure towards the 'impossible', towards the endless mountains, in the middle of the blessed ocean, in the depths of the earth, and in the distant galaxy. Gilberto Gilberneon recounted his past, looking cheerful, excited, and curious, as Jonah had never seen on anyone's face. "-Guess where I've been?" the first mentor turned his head to look into the boy's eyes.

"You've arrived at another bit. Jonah boldly guessed, "It's completely different from this continent, the world in another plane." ”

Gilbertnayon shook his fingers: "No, no, not one. It's many. He dipped his fingertips in water to draw a circle on the white coffee table, and then drew many lines back and forth in the circle: "This circle is the world we live in, if we follow the rules of the game, we can only be born, grown, run around, grow old, and die in the circle." ”

After a pause, he poured the tea into his palm and swayed it casually, and countless crystal droplets appeared around the circle. "The space-time star array has made me jump out of the circle and reach countless bits, each of which has a strange environment, strange creatures, and strange rules. I can't remember how many worlds I've been to, and Arian's lab has a diary of every one of my expeditions, and it's not an exciting adventure to drill under the frozen ground on a submersible ship than to explore a whole new world, right? ”

Jonah said, "This is understandable to me, because the summoning itself summons magical creatures from another element, and there are many strange bloodline abilities that can also allow people to communicate with another world. Speaking of this, he couldn't help but think of two people, two Orientals whose fate was intertwined with him but on different sides, Long Ji who was "married in the dark" and Ah Sai who was "armored body". The young man silently covered his chest and continued: "Countless people want to see what the other world is like, but you are the only one who can do it......"

"Well said. Gilbert dipped the water to extend the lines in the circle and connect the surrounding droplets: "These countless bins are connected to each other, and the passages of adjacent bins can be opened through summoning, telephony, and even space magic. For a long time, I was addicted to this fun adventure game, using the space-time star array to travel back and forth between different dimensions, feeling like an observer of the whole universe, a free soul beyond the rules of the game. Until one day, a trace of doubt arose in my heart. ”

"Doubt?" Jonah repeated.

"Yes. It's true that every bit is different, but for someone like me, who likes to be a cold sideline, these worlds still seem too similar. Some worlds are prosperous, some worlds are desolate, some worlds are inhabited by humanoid creatures, some worlds are only dirt and rocks, but wherever I go, there is a nasty sense of familiarity that grows in my heart, and the ghostly aversion that comes and goes makes me stop and think about the cause of this phenomenon. The answer soon emerged: these worlds were designed with the 'human' race in mind, and even the extremely cold world, the hellish realm where the lava rivers flowed, the realm of giants, and the realm of skeletons seemed to be unsuitable for human life, but they also had the earth to stand on, the air to breathe, and the sky to look up to. "Why is there no world of nothingness? devouring anything but eternal darkness? Why is there no world of stagnation, where the scale of time is so slow that all living things are reduced to statues? Why is there no world of light, the soil on which living beings are nurtured, the bodies of life and their food, the way they think, their language and their writings, and even their excrement?" Why is there no world of numbers, where creatures cannot be seen, touched, or heard, but a string of numbers that are constantly evolving, born for the sole purpose and ultimate purpose of seeking the solution to their own puzzles? Why is there no world that can take my life in an instant, just because that world is smaller than the tip of a needle and cannot accommodate my huge body?"

A barrage of questions hit Jonah's mind, "Ah, this ......," he stammered, beads of sweat streaming down his forehead. He had no idea of these possibilities at all, and he had imagined the appearance of heaven and hell in his ears and eyes, where was the cruel world in which Assai's true body lived? What was the scene of the Brahmanic realm where the Venerable One of the High Houses hid the strange beasts of the Buddhist Sect? But the question asked by the first teacher was completely different, and the young man felt that there was something in his soul that was about to move.

There is only one answer. The first mentor raised his palm and stared at the scattered water droplets on the table, "All the bits, these 10,000 worlds are all fake, they were made up for us by others, and I thought that I had freedom and I didn't jump out of the fence of the rules of the game with all my might." These worlds are all on the same plane, opening a door and closing a door, no matter how many rooms you walk through, you are just playing a game of self-deception in the maze...... The real outside world, not here. He suddenly stood up and stretched out his arm to the sky: "There it is!"

Jonah didn't speak, staring at the figure of the first astrology instructor in a cold sweat.

"I'm going there. "Ask the people who made the stars why they have shaped our fate this way?" my experiments began to be blocked, and the space-time array encountered a layer of incomparably hard barriers, a wall of steel rules, and the first experiment caused a huge explosion of the star array, which almost took my life, and Annicia, the woman who accompanied me through ten thousand worlds, began to be blocked Saved me from the line of death, said that it would never stop me, and made me cheer up and continue to work hard, even at the cost of my life. There is nothing to be nostalgic for in this world, as long as Annicia is always by my side, I began to frantically study the mysteries of the space-time star array, and finally discovered the true power of the seventh artifact 'Wumang Heimang', it is something that should not belong to this world, so there is a trace of involvement with the world above, along this line, I can find a gap in the regular wall, there is a gap, I can pry open this iron curtain to a higher place!"

"You succeeded. Jonah suddenly understood a lot of things.

"Yes, I succeeded. The expression of the first mentor suddenly became calm, "24 hours." The gap closed 24 hours later, and I had only 24 hours to reach the world above. The Iron Curtain of Rules severed my connection to the world, and Annicia and I were swept into the turbulence of time and space, lost in the non-existent aether. ”

"What did you see there?" the boy trembled and clenched his fists. At this moment, he figured it all out. The world above the world, the one who descended from the sky, the strange soul who can control his body. The world is false, everyone is a marionette with a string behind their backs, and there are people hiding behind the walls in the high clouds watching the dolls secretly, manipulating these puppets and experiencing a completely different life. Jonah bit his lip, the torrent in his heart was surging, he didn't hate the 'star-makers' and the Descenders within him, he just felt endless humiliation about fate, "Did you see them, Mentor?" he asked with a trembling voice. Even puppets have dignity of their own! If one day the puppet climbs over the wall and looks at the people hiding behind the curtain with glass eyeballs, I wonder what the expressions on those people's faces will be?

"I saw a world, a little strange, but a human world. "It's not surprising that they created us in their own image." I entered the body of a middle-aged man, a researcher belonging to an organization, with a wealth of knowledge and an elegant demeanor. For the first few hours, I couldn't see anything, I couldn't hear anything, but slowly I could see the scenery through the man's eyes, hear the sound through his ears, and walk with him, eat and work. It's a fascinating world, everyone is clean and tidy, there are all kinds of convenient tools, the wine is delicious, and the taste of the food is unforgettable. The man has a beautiful house, a smart son, a loyal dog. As time went by, I could feel the cracks closing, and I felt something growing, and I got to grips with the essentials of controlling a man's body to make some movements. ”

"In the 22nd hour, I spoke the first sentence through his mouth. What I said was 'I'm coming, people out there. Visibly frightened, he grabbed the mirror and stared at his mouth for a long time. It was a funny scene, I said more, and the next hour was spent in his hysteria and my accusations, and in the 23rd hour, he finally calmed down, and I cursed all the bad things I could think of, and I had no strength to blame anyone. So, we had a conversation in his study, and I still call him 'the man out there' and he calls me a 'ghost' because I do look like a ghost. ”

"We talked for a long time, constantly updating our understanding of each other, understanding the workings of the two worlds and the meaning of life. With five minutes left before the walls were closed, my power in that world was at its peak, 'Let's show you what we can do.' With that, I launched an attack outside the window, and the attack was more powerful than I had imagined, and the space-time vortex devoured several cherry trees and the innocent dog. ”

"'We created you, and you created the future. ’”

The man named Brandon Bartholomew said. ”

"'If we have time, maybe we can become friends.'" ’”
