Cataclysm King

Chapter 422 How do you know for sure that the world you live in is real?

The magical secret technique of "I am the World" can not only deduce the past and the future, but also has the ability to control and change the operation of the "small world" within the range, just like the field that Jia Yu comprehended.

When Ji Xun sneaked into the rebel camp in disguise, he used his relevant abilities to blend into the unfamiliar environment as perfectly as possible.

Jia Yu had said before that this ability would be difficult to detect unless one mastered the magical secret technique of “I am the World”.

If one can still see through it without knowing the secret method, then it means that the other party's rank is extremely high.

There's no point in pretending.

And the mysterious man in front of him, wearing a light-chasing mask, obviously possesses both conditions at the same time.

He is of a high rank and also understands this secret method.

"I am the world" is not just a magical secret spell exclusive to [Square 7-Bard].

It is also the unique inheritance of the leader of the Illuminati Hermitage.

The cloaked man was of course very curious that there was another person in this world who could do this?
And he looks quite accomplished.

So the first time he discovered this special existence in the camp, he showed up.

As Ji Xun was looking at the Light Chaser, a lot of information flashed through his mind.

Judging from the current intelligence, although there are not many records of the "Illuminati Hermitage" in the history of the Talen Dynasty, the shadow of this mysterious organization can be seen behind many major events.

And even though this generation of Light Chasers appeared in the rebel camp, Ji Xun didn't think of him as an enemy.

At the moment he was stunned, the Light Chaser seemed to have deduced something and exclaimed, "Tsk tsk, your destiny line seems to have appeared out of thin air and has nothing to do with this world. You are not from the royal court, nor from the rebels. I am really curious, where did you come from?"

The tone seemed to be getting more and more curious about what was going on with Ji Xun in front of him.

"."

When Ji Xun heard this, he secretly said "awesome".

He knew that with just this one encounter, the other party had deduced his destiny.

This ability is countless times higher than mine.

During this moment of hesitation, Ji Xun was not trying to hide anything, but was thinking about how to explain this problem.

After all, this is an alternate dimension, not the real three thousand years ago.

Some things cannot be explained.

But in front of such a strong man, any lies are meaningless and will only cause trouble.

After thinking about it, he spoke directly: "Senior Faro, I come from the Kashi civilization three thousand years later. But I didn't travel through time and space, but through another dimension."

I had heard the name from Jia Yu before. After all, the Light Chasers of this generation three thousand years ago were an epic existence.

He was once involved in the killing of the national angel in the Innocence City, and his strength is probably at the god level.

Ji Xun told the truth.

Under normal circumstances, the will of the other-dimensional space would "patch" this passage to make its appearance logically consistent.

However, because there are too many things about Ji Xun that cannot be explained, more patches need to be made.

Moreover, the top card master who can "I am the world" is not so easy to be fooled in terms of logic. If there is any flaw, it will be deduced.

So Ji Xun himself was also very curious, and was also trying to figure out what method the spatial will would use to make the other party accept this information?
However, the response from the Light Chaser shocked him.

"Three thousand years later? No wonder I was wondering why your fate line is so strange. This explains it. Your secret method was also learned from later generations."

The Light Chaser had no doubts at all and immediately believed Ji Xun's words.

His ability to deduce allows the truth to be fully revealed before his eyes.

As soon as Ji Xun said this, the "line of destiny" that appeared out of thin air in front of him was connected from three thousand years ago.

All the logic connects.

He even pondered for a moment and concluded, "In that case, you should be the 'Xinhuo' that is heading to the East Wasteland?"

"Yes."

Ji Xun nodded.

Although he came from a different time, he is indeed a card master from the Eastern Wasteland.

However, just when he thought that the spatial will was using the patch of "time and space travel" to make the other party believe it.

The Light Chaser Farrow on the other side spoke again: "So, you mean, our meeting this time is in a different dimension?"

"!!!"

As soon as these words came out, Ji Xun's pupils dilated and he looked at the other party in disbelief.

He even thought he heard wrongly.

Did this person really just say the words "different dimension"?

You know, although people in other dimensions are no different from real people, they may have actually existed in history.

But the fact is, they are not alive, but plot NPCs simulated by the will of space!

Ji Xun had tried many methods in his previous adventures, but no matter how he hinted, the NPCs would never realize that they were in a different dimension.

Even all related words will be patched and blocked by the space will.

It’s like humans in the past were completely unable to imagine what was outside the universe. That was a kind of cognitive barrier.

Even this question wouldn't exist.

This also ensures the most basic existence logic of the different-dimensional space.

This is also the consensus of everyone!
But now?

I actually heard the Light Chaser in front of me say this word very calmly!
He realized it!
What's going on with this guy?
For a moment, Ji Xun felt as if all the hairs on his body stood on end, as if something conflicted with his own perception of the world.

However, before Ji Xun could be more shocked, the Light Chaser opposite him looked at his expression and seemed to be completely certain of something: "Oh, so it really is an alternate dimension."

I wasn't completely sure just now, but now I am sure.

Seeing Ji Xun's frowning expression, Light Chaser Faro said calmly, "Are you confused as to why I know I am in a different dimension without being tampered with by the will of space?"

Facing such a senior, Ji Xun had no problem admitting: "Yes. Please help me solve this doubt."

Since the other party can hear what you say, there is nothing to be shy about.

Although he was wearing a mask, Ji Xun saw a pair of deep eyes that seemed to see through all the secrets of the world through the holes where the eyes should be.

Hearing this question, the Light Chaser Faro smiled mysteriously and said, "You"

He did not answer directly. Instead, he smiled and raised his head, then asked in a steady and leisurely tone, "How can you be sure that you are alive? Or, how can you be sure that the world you are in is the real world?"

When these words came out, although the voice was not loud, it was like thunder exploding in my ears.

Ji Xun was stunned on the spot.

He originally thought that the other party could sense the "different dimension" and might have deduced some flaw in the logic of the world.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually asked such a question.

This question was like a blow to the head.

If it were an ordinary person, it would be difficult to understand this simple yet seemingly absurd question.

However, Ji Xun not only traveled through the world, but also traveled through time!
This problem once troubled him.

What is the nature of the world?
Now hearing the question from the Light Chaser Faro, Ji Xun seemed to have reached the cognitive limit deep in his soul.

Yup!

How can I be sure that I am in the real world?
Could it be that I am actually an NPC in some other dimension?

It was only because of the patch of spatial will that I completely believed that the logic of my world was self-consistent and real.

Once this question was asked, it was as if the roles were reversed.

Just like the scene in front of us.

An "adventurer" asked himself a question.

Ji Xun began to doubt whether he really existed.

But no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't confirm whether he was in the real world!

Recently, he spends some time in the dream world every day.

In that world, all human perceptions can be simulated through the mind.

When people are immersed in dreams, they also feel that their world is real.

As long as you don't wake up from the dream, that virtual world will always be real.

Then
Does the real world I think of really exist?

If it is true, how to prove it?
Countless thoughts suddenly popped up in Ji Xun's mind.

But no matter how he deduced, he couldn't prove it.

The Light Chaser Faro glanced at Ji Xun, with wisdom flashing in his eyes.

Obviously, he knew that the other party was in a state of enlightenment, and secretly praised him in his heart, "Good understanding."

He continued, "I am a bard. I have written many interesting stories. In the stories, they are vivid and alive. I can even materialize them in the real world and make them live just like real people. So, are the characters in the stories I write real and alive? Does the world in the stories really exist?"

"For the characters in the novel, the world of the novel is real. But for the readers, is it necessarily unreal?"

"If there really is a fictional world with self-consistent logic and perfect universal laws, then how is it different from the real world?"

"The same is true for different dimensions. How can you be sure that you are not in another different dimension?" "."

Ji Xun had seen this ability before.

Jia Yu once used his abilities to create a "mushroom head".

After hearing this, Ji Xun felt that some of his cognitive boundaries seemed to be blurring.

He was even unsure whether he was really in another dimension.

It felt like my original worldview had been shattered.

It broke into pieces all over the floor.

"Such a wonderful world, how could I not prove that it really exists."

"If the world is not real, then do I really exist?"

"If even the world cannot be verified to be true or false, what is the meaning of life?"

"."

At this moment, everything in the world became unreal.

Ji Xun felt like a dying sun, gradually sinking into endless darkness.

This is a thought even more desperate than death.

He couldn't find the direction.

Lost in endless darkness.

But the pursuit of truth in his heart made him work hard to pick up the fragments one by one, trying to piece them together and restore his own world.

A new, real world.

I don’t know how much time has passed, as if time has fallen into a state of chaos.

It seemed like a moment, but also like a long time.

In Ji Xun's mind, "I am the world" automatically operated, deducing countless logical lines.

It started out as just a line, stretching out to infinity.

But not enough.

Then there is a net.

Still not enough.

And then.

He felt like a sun, his light illuminating the whole world.

His thoughts were still evolving, and although they were getting dimmer and dimmer like the light, as long as the aperture was within the range, he could understand the world of truth.

Those logics seem to constitute a small universe.

Although small, the logic is self-consistent and everything is under control.

At this moment, Ji Xun seemed to finally feel that he could control the universe.

Before I knew it, Enlightenment was telling me, "You have gained insight, 'I am the World' experience +333, proficiency level 4, and have realized 'Cognition into Domain'."

The magic secrets do not continue to improve as your proficiency increases, but will get stuck at certain thresholds. Without great enlightenment, it is difficult to make further progress.

Previously, Ji Xun's "I am the World" had clearly fallen into the bottleneck of "cognitive domain".

At a certain moment just now, Ji Xun found that his troubled vision suddenly became clear.

It's like a frog jumping out of a deep well and seeing a new world.

Although he still hadn't figured out the troubles in his heart. Thoughts were like sunlight, not reaching the edge of the universe. But it seemed that as long as he was given enough time, one day he would have the possibility of seeing the whole picture of the universe.

It was just a possibility, but it made Ji Xun's dizzy pupils gradually focus.

The meaning of life is the hope of glimpsing the truth of the universe!
The darkness in front of my eyes gradually turned into color.

Ji Xun saw a cloaked man wearing a mask.

At this moment, the soul seemed to return to the body.

Only then did my thoughts connect.

Oh,
So here I am.

In a different dimension.

Ji Xun felt as if he had escaped from a quagmire and his whole body felt lighter.

And it was obvious that he felt a kind of sublimation at the soul level!
At first he was not sure what this feeling was, but the next moment, he immediately realized, was this divine power?

With the transformation at the soul level, humans can control the power of gods and have the authority of gods.

I have touched the threshold of divine power!

Looking at the panel again, "I am the World" has also broken through the state that has been stagnant for a long time and reached Lv4!

Ji Xun immediately understood what had just happened, and said respectfully to the masked man in front of him, "Thank you for your guidance, senior!"

At this moment, how could he not understand that the person in front of him saw that he was at the bottleneck of the sixth level and was trying to give him some advice.

You could have answered my question directly just now, but you used this "guiding" method.

With the guidance of top masters and Ji Xun's own understanding, everything suddenly became clear.

Enlightenment.

At the same time, Ji Xun was also greatly shocked. It was the first time he encountered a master of this level.

If he really was an enemy, it would be easy for him to kill him.

The Light Chaser Faro looked at Ji Xun, smiled slightly, and did not deny it. He praised: "Your understanding is amazing."

The reminder was indeed intentional.

Only when there is no mental precaution will there be unexpected results.

Now it seems that the effect is indeed good.

After a pause, he also explained the reason: "Since you can learn the magical secret method of "I am the World", you haven't taken a detour. This means that you have a good relationship with the generation of light chasers three thousand years later. But it is obvious that some inheritance is missing. I don't have much time. I have something to tell you, and I also want to use you to tell the inheritors of my lineage. "

Ji Xun nodded.

This scene seemed familiar. He remembered that Mushroom-headed Jia Yu had also asked a similar question. This seemed to be the tradition of the Light Chasers.

The other party obviously saw that the magic secret technique he had learned had flaws, and must have also deduced the problem of interrupted inheritance.

He also heard some other meaning in the sentence "I don't have much time left".

The war is approaching, and this Light Seeker may have played a very important role in the battle of Taron's destruction.

"You don't have to worry about the questions I asked before."

At this point, the Light Chaser Faro looked at the remaining doubt in Ji Xun's eyes and said with a smile: "You can't prove that the world you are in is real. Since you are in this world, your cognition is trapped in this world. Even at my current height, there is still an unknown above my head. However, you should have touched the threshold of 'divine power' and have the qualifications to explore the truth of the world. Some roads have to be walked by yourself to experience deeply. I don't think you want me to give you a direct answer."

Ji Xun seemed to understand but not quite.

But I also feel that way.

At this point, the Light Chaser Faro responded to the original question: "The reason why I can recognize the concept of 'being in a different dimension' is because I have long 'foreseen' this situation in my deduction. Whether you are traveling through time and space or in a different dimension, the 'me' you see is the me who has the cognition at this moment. My cognition allows me to accept and understand that 'you' exist in front of me in any form. In other words, no matter how we meet. My cognition allows me to say these words when I see you. This is something that even the will of the different dimension cannot block. Because no matter whether my subjective consciousness thinks of it or not, my ability will definitely deduce it."

"."

Ji Xun listened and fell into deep thought.

He actually understood it, as if the NPC had preset the dialogue.

Just wait for certain keywords to trigger, and it will be triggered automatically.

This is not controlled by subjective consciousness, but is like the physical laws in the universe. People who are not aware of it are "invisible", but it always exists.

To deny it is to deny the entire universe.

After a pause, Faro looked at Ji Xun and said, "It may be difficult for others to understand what I am saying. But since you understand "I am the world", you should be able to figure it out. From the perspective of logical deduction, I can "deduce everything" only if I "allow everything to happen". Instead of being blinded by self-cognition and only seeing the limited world that I can see. "

"."

When Ji Xun heard this, a hint of coldness suddenly flashed in his pupils.

At this moment, he seemed to have grasped something.

Although I don’t understand it, I know it’s amazing!
He had heard Jia Yu say that this was the highest realm of "I am the world" - beyond deduction and cognition!
Even the mushroom-headed guy is still groping in this advanced field.

Light-seeker Faro has said enough.

If you still don't understand, there's no point in explaining it further.

Ji Xun knew that these words spoken tonight would require the strongest people in the future to ponder over them for a very long time.

But this made him feel regretful.

This is an alternate dimension after all.

The powerful man before us has already fallen in the long river of history.

As if seeing through all of Ji Xun's thoughts, Faro smiled and said, "I feel very lucky to have such an opportunity to meet you. This way, I can know what happened three thousand years later. I can also see the results of many speculations. No matter what form my consciousness exists in, I will be happy to see such a result. For example, if I can see the ending of a story I like to follow, it is a very satisfying thing in life."

He said this in a calm tone.

However, Ji Xun's heart was still in turmoil for a long time.
