Chapter 260

Three completely different ghostly figures surrounded Bai Yan.

Bai Yan couldn't see their faces clearly, but he knew exactly who these people were.

"They are me."

Each and every person was involved.

They are respectively the mysterious and unpredictable "Savior", "Profligate" Moriarty, and "Keeper of Secrets" Viscount Edmond.

Just at that moment, Bai Yan suddenly felt an incredibly strong force, pushing the ghostly figures around him away from his body and into the air.

"Indeed, the moment has arrived, the true challenge of the Crown Ceremony's Fictional Enactment..."

The overwhelming power caused every person's shadow to continuously move away from his body.

During this moment, Bai Yan felt as if the entire world was falling. The unimaginable weight of mental pressure made him instantly lose consciousness, only to awaken in the next moment.

What just happened? Bai Yan was a bit confused, but quickly regained his senses.

"Is this the Crown Ceremony? It's indeed quite challenging."

Very different from before, it gave a feeling that is hard to describe.

Bai Yan took a deep breath and gently shook his head. His vision became blurry once again, as if he was witnessing the illusions turning into reality with his own eyes.

They were within his soul, and every shadow of "himself" was engaging in a conversation with him.

"All that I do, I do to save all the worlds that need saving."

"I like to see people struggling without being able to do anything, just out of pure interest!"

"Mmm, you've done well, and I have high hopes for your future."

Bai Yan could see scenes of his past as shadows, all of which were his own acting experiences. Some were serene, some were crazy, and some were calm... but one thing was always clear to him!

Every imaginary identity was just Bai Yan himself, not anyone else!

Even though it was the third Crown Ceremony that suited Bai Yan the best, it still presented considerable challenges.Nêww chapters will be fully updated at wuxiahere.com

The flaw in the Fictional Enactment rests in the fact that, if the promotion attempt fails, the person attempting it has a very high chance of ending up with a shattered mind and a broken personality.

"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!"

The immense mental pressure made Bai Yan's head ache terribly. In this extreme misery, he felt as if every single cell in his body was being crushed and rearranged.

Scenes of acting experiences kept flashing in his eyes, as if they were about to burst out from deep within his soul!

I am not someone else, I am simply Bai Yan!

"Just like you said, I became ordinary... more like myself."

He mumbled to himself.

The next moment.

Everything seemed to vanish.

In his surroundings, everything turned into a completely blank space.

White.

Apart from that, there was nothing else in the world.

He sat on an old chair, looking down. In the sky, a massive silver tower emerged, reaching up to the heavens.

Every shadow stood behind him, quietly standing in this place.

Bai Yan slowly lifted his head and saw, right in front of him, another person sitting whose face he couldn't see.

That "person"... made Bai Yan feel an extremely familiar and comforting sensation, one that he couldn't be more familiar with. Yet, he also confirmed that he had never seen the other person before.

Who are you?

Even though they were sitting face to face, Bai Yan couldn't know the true identity of the person in front of him.

This "person" was like a black hole itself, absolutely impossible for anyone to see their face clearly.

Just at that moment, a lot of thick, dark mist emerged from beside Bai Yan.

Bai Yan sat calmly in the chair, feeling that he couldn't do anything, completely unable to move.

That person resembling a black hole began to speak.

Next, Bai Yan heard a few sentences, and he always felt like the other person was talking to him, but it also seemed like that wasn't the case.

"Whatever the outcome may be..."

"Your fate has already been determined."

"Our goals are different, but our thoughts are the same."

"With the past and the future, everything and anything at stake, this most magnificent game begins..."

Just as a shadow resembling a "black hole" stood up, it quickly approached Bai Yan. In the next moment, they were already merged together.

All those illusions returned into Bai Yan's body.

He felt completely consumed.

Slowly fading away, disappearing from sight...

Time seemed to have passed for a very, very long time, so long that Bai Yan couldn't tell whether he was in a dream or in reality.

It felt as if the world had changed completely, as if everything in existence had disappeared and started anew. No matter how many times destruction and rebirth occurred, everything ultimately returned to its original state.

"..."

When Bai Yan opened his eyes once again, he found himself back in the real world, peacefully lying on the magical circle of the Crown Ceremony.

In his hands, the highly precious Essence of the Void had turned into mere dust a long time ago.

Bai Yan's mind felt fuzzy and heavy, and he lay on the ground for a long time before gradually regaining his normal thinking process.

"This Crown Ceremony feels very different from what is written in the description... Everything that happened in that white world is not mentioned in the Fictional Enactment materials... It was never mentioned at all."

What did those scenes seen during the Crown Ceremony actually mean...

I'm not sure...

Bai Yan closed his eyes and felt that his memories were starting to become blurry.

Perhaps this scene is very important.

Bai Yan remembered seeing a huge tower that was shiny and silver inside. Maybe that was actually the real look of the Babel Tower. And then, who was that dark, hole-like figure?

Was he talking to himself?

After some time had passed, Bai Yan finally regained his senses and slowly stood up from the ground.

He could feel a tremendous, unprecedented power surging within his body.

Bai Yan's eyes once again became like the vast universe, portraying infinite landscapes. Shimmering with gentle silver and black light, they sparkled like two completely different stars.

The extraordinary power has taken another step in its "evolution".

The difference between "Crown" and "Awakening" was evidently larger than the difference between "Awakening" and "Origin".

He took a deep breath and felt the all-encompassing changes happening within him.

"The person I am now is completely different from the past."

Bai Yan, feeling the surge of new power, suddenly made a startling discovery!

"Oh, so that's how it is... I can't believe it!"

Usually, extraordinary individuals experience certain changes at each small level. The most common thing is continuously unlocking sub-level abilities that possess extraordinary powers.

But he was different.

From the moment Bai Yan awakened and became a Crown, his journey was unlike that of any other extraordinary individual. Throughout this process, he didn't unlock sub-level abilities with extraordinary powers like others did.

Bai Yan nodded and looked at his hand, talking to himself, "It seems like this, as long as I reach this higher level, I will directly gain all the powers of this higher level."

In other words, even though Bai Yan has just arrived in Crown, he has unlocked all the abilities of the sub-levels - lower, middle, upper, and even the Potential Apocalypse - within the extraordinary powers of Crown.

He could feel that he now possessed a considerable amount of extraordinary power, unlike anything he had ever experienced before.

Bai Yan shook his head and exclaimed with a smile, "Now, I truly feel invincible below the level of Apocalypse!"

Boasting about oneself might not be a good thing... he suddenly realized this.

"Hmm, next time, I'll find someone to cheer for me on the side."

Bai Yan decided to actively correct his tendency to boast about himself.

Bai Yan had unique powers that set him apart from others. He possessed two special powers called "Connection" and "Game".

First, there was the power of "Connection".

First, after Bai Yan's power of "Connection" reached the Crown level, it underwent significant improvements, building upon his existing abilities.

The first subset of abilities was still about "gaining information".

Now, when he gathers information about something, he no longer randomly receives one-third of the information pieces. Instead, he directly connects and finds the answers he needs.

Bai Yan took a slow breath and gently reached out to touch the walls of the house. Soon, he vividly saw a vision of Sylve's ancestors.

Those scenes seemed to be ablaze, revealing how her ancestors had obtained the "ancient magic" from the cult. Since then, they relied on smuggling and illegal immigration to make a living.

However, Bai Yan tried to touch his own face, hoping to gather relevant information, but all he could find was meaningless details. He attempted to touch the "Babel Tower" with his fingertips, wanting to learn about its origins and consequences, but it proved to be ineffective.

"It seems like it's still not possible..."

Bai Yan shook his head gently. Honestly, he really wanted to find out what exactly the Babel Tower was through this ability.

Now it seems that maybe because he wasn't strong enough, his ability couldn't work.

"And then... there was this amazing ability to analyze."

The second sub-ability of the Crown level "Connection" talent is called "Insightful Linking."

Bai Yan, known as Bai Yan, gazed at the scene around him. He effortlessly noticed the weaknesses, flaws, strengths, and how everything was connected to each other.

For example, when he saw fire, he naturally gained a lot of related information. He learned that "wind can help fire" and "water can extinguish fire," and so on.

Bai Yan, also known as Bai Yan, knew that this was actually a very powerful ability, especially when dealing with various "strange" creatures that belonged to the category of mechanical monsters.

Ordinary people need to guess and reason in order to understand the "strange" creatures' patterns of behavior and attack methods. However, most of the time, these "strange" creatures attack immediately upon first encounter, leaving you with no time for trial and error.

"However, having the ability of "Insightful Linking" is different. When facing all sorts of "strange" creatures, you can directly see relevant clues and even the answers."

Everything appeared in a game-like way, with numbers and values.

In Bai Yan's eyes, Sylve revealed various kinds of numbers, and these numbers were more comprehensive than the ones displayed when Bai Yan was only at the "awakening" level.

Bai Yan sat at the edge of the bed and silently watched the young girl, his expression going through noticeable changes.

"This... This is... I can't believe it! It's a completely unexpected situation..."

His pupils slightly contracted, feeling a sudden shock at that moment.

The numbers that appeared on Sylve were something he was very familiar with!

They floated silently in the air, resembling subtitles made up of countless dots, continuously fluctuating and twinkling.

"The person to contact:"

"Title: ???"

"Gender: Female"

"Plane: Material Realm"

"Level: Original point (medium)"

"Race: Human species."

"Milestone: None"

"Primary Attributes:"

"Physical Strength: 12 (a little bit stronger than an average adult)"

"Intelligence (INT): 14 (almost no intelligence)"

"Tip: Skill Level 18 (considered excellent compared to the average person)."

"Secondary Attributes:"

"Charm: 8 (She is undoubtedly the most beautiful girl in school, no one can compare to her)"

"Loyalty: 8 (She can do most things for you)"

"Feeling: 8 (The girl started to dive into that kind of emotion gradually)"

"Trait:"

"She has a sensitive body (drinking milk will make her have diarrhea)."

"Ability: Some basic magic spells"

"Secondary information:"

"Height: 158cm, bust: 79cm, waist: 58cm, hips: 80cm."

"Likes: rewards and praise, a certain man."

"Disliked: the person I used to be, pain."

"Items: Protective Green Stone, Star Reversal"

"Description: She is the heir of the Helen family. She used to be mean, but then she changed and became a good girl."

Although there are some differences in the details, the character card and the Core Operator card are almost the same in format!

For some unknown reason, Bai Yan felt an overwhelming sense of horror deep within his heart at this moment.

Bai Yan wasn't foolish. It was clear to him that everything about the Babel Tower had intentional patterns and designs.

He didn't know who the person behind all these designs was. Were they meant to be kind or malicious towards him? Or perhaps, the person who designed the Babel Tower was himself all along?

"What on earth is going on? It seems like my extraordinary powers and the Babel Tower are indeed from the same source. Could it be that this thing was sent to me from my future self?"

At this point, Bai Yan was completely certain.

The Babel Tower and Bai Yan's special powers were deeply connected and couldn't be separated.

And the special powers were a manifestation of the essence of his soul...

"..."

Bai Yan pondered for a while, shaking his head softly.

If the Babel Tower was most likely created by himself, then there was no need to be afraid of it.

He started testing his final new ability on Sylve.

Actually, it's the upgraded power of the "Digital World."

Simply put, it can be called the "Real Digital World."

The way he performed it was by tapping.

Bai Yan reached out and gently tapped Sylve on the head.

The values he wanted to see were not limited to the surface alone.

In the next moment, something magical happened.

Sylve, who was lying on the bed, suddenly shattered into pieces.

She seemed like a toy building block that had been forcefully scattered, transforming into dozens of tiny fragments that twinkled and floated in mid-air.

Inside Sylve's body, many long strips of light floated around. They were covered in countless symbols, and there were also numerous wavy lines of movement.

Bai Yan had no idea what those symbols meant.

"Wait a moment, let's give this a try..."

Connection, Insightful Linking!

Bai Yan gazed at the many long, pale blue glowing strips floating in mid-air. Finally, he slowly began to understand the meaning of the symbols on them.

"If, if, if... What do these words mean?"

Bai Yan counted and realized that there were a total of twelve pale blue glowing strips. Each strip held something different inside.

"On December 13th, at 9:39:28, if I decided to leave at this moment, I wouldn't have eaten lunch at home. Or if I chose to take a shower at this moment, I would have eaten lunch at home. Or if I..."

Bai Yan quickly realized that Sylve had many possible choices at this moment, and they kept adding one after another. It seemed like the number of "or" options would keep increasing.

In theory, she should be able to have an unlimited number of choices.

He even encountered some incredibly unbelievable choices inside, which were so astonishing to see. But clearly, they also held the potential for "possibility"!

Bai Yan was completely speechless.

Oh dear, today is... Today is December 12th!

In the Real Digital World, insight is no longer about surface things, but about destiny itself!

He was certain that this was not the power of an ordinary supreme ruler, but the terrifying power possessed only by those who are "Potential Apocalypse"!

This glowing ribbon here shows "everyday choices," while the glowing ribbon over there shows "emotional choices." And look, this glowing ribbon displays "life and death choices"...

Bai Yan couldn't resist and reached out his hand, wanting to touch those glowing ribbons.

INT had already told him that doing so wouldn't harm Sylve, otherwise he wouldn't have touched it recklessly.

At the next moment, Bai Yan was filled with astonishment!

On the ribbon, there suddenly appeared black letters that said, "No access, changing forbidden!"

A thought crossed his mind.

So, what if someone, or let's say there exists some extraordinary being, who has the ability to modify them?

"Will everything in the future become different?"

Bai Yan understood very well that these things were just a manifestation of his extraordinary powers, and they appeared in the form of words for the convenience of human understanding.

If Bai Yan was an alien who had no knowledge of Earth games and computers, the various scenes in front of him would not be presented in this way.

The magical sights made him unable to resist the temptation to see more.

But in the next moment, Bai Yan felt an intense headache, and his vision became blurry.

His mental power was already being exhausted...

Bai Yan knew this feeling very well, and then he completely passed out.

In the past few months, perhaps only today, Bai Yan has been frequently completely losing consciousness.

"Um... My head still hurts a lot."

When he woke up again, he noticed that the sky outside was still dark.

And Sylve, who had been "broken" before, had returned to her original state.

Bai Yan could feel something, that he not only exhausted his energy, but his lifespan also greatly decreased.

He could sense that his lifespan had decreased by about a hundred years. If he were an ordinary person, he would probably pass away on the spot.

"Gazing into fate, it indeed comes with a price... This doesn't come as much of a surprise, luckily for me at this moment, I can still bear this cost."

Bai Yan's heart was still stuck in the scene from just now, unable to calm down for a long time.

"By the way, this ability should not only be useful for people, right? The ordinary 'Digital World' can also be applied to objects. So what if I use it on objects or, let's say, 'that'?"

He suddenly had a very bold idea!

Bai Yan took out his phone, took a deep breath, and gently tapped on the game "Babel Tower".

"So, what will I see?"

He took a deep breath and tapped on the phone in his hand once again!

Activate, the Real Digital World!

Nothing happened... Several seconds passed, but still, nothing happened at all.

Bai Yan fell silent for a while, wondering if it was because he didn't have enough power.

"If I become stronger, will I be able to see the hidden secrets about the 'Babel Tower'?"

Just then, Bai Yan felt a sudden burst of inspiration, as if something was about to arrive!

"Hmm?"

In the next moment, countless black ribbons suddenly emerged from the "Babel Tower"!
