On the Seven Towers

The difference between saints and great magicians is that they change the rules of the world.

Xiao Chen and Luo Ling create illusions, which are themselves the embodiment of rules. They are not only understanding and changing the rules, but also creating rules.

Just like when Yolanda was pierced in the chest by the soldiers in the illusion, if there is no rule that causes pain, the environment will not seem so realistic.

Although this rule is small, it is also a complete rule. The authenticity of the illusion is composed of many such small rules.

Therefore, the rules for Xiao Chen and Luo Ling to advance to the saint level are very similar. They both create various things in a world. This is simply the rule of "creation". Even if this world is illusory and simple, it is a logically complete world after all.

Any saint who wants to advance through such rules will get half the result with twice the effort. Building a world is a very difficult thing for most people.

But for Xiao Chen and Luo Ling, this path is not that difficult, because they started to create such a world in their minds a long time ago.

Yolanda is now in a fantasy created by Xiao Chen, a future science fiction world full of mecha battles. This world has a great impact on Yolanda. Just after entering this world, she has been in a state of chaos and confusion. She regards herself as a candidate mecha master learning mecha operation, and studies and fights seriously in the training school. Xiao Chen is like a painter, constantly adding a stroke of color to this world. With each stroke, the world becomes more real and vivid. And the pen he uses is one rule after another. Xiao Chen feels the potential of this world and hopes to form a decisive change in this world, so he also pulls Luo Ling in. The two of them work together for the first time to weave a fantasy together.

Gradually, they find that as they understand the rules more deeply, this world begins to break away from their direct control and evolve on its own. For example, the words spoken by the people Yolanda meets are no longer the will of Xiao Chen or Luo Ling. They will automatically react according to the combination of rules, and even show a variety of emotions that only humans have.

And the story process of the whole world also begins to develop and improve itself.

If Xiao Chen had to do these things directly, I don't know how much energy it would take. After this illusion became a self-developed world, he no longer needed to distract himself to play those people one by one.

As a result, Xiao Chen and Luo Ling also had a glimmer of understanding of the rules of creation.

In this world, Yolanda had just finished a training session. She jumped down from the control room of a mecha, walked into the lounge, picked up a towel, and was wiping the sweat on her forehead. At this time, Xiao Chen and Luo Ling appeared in this world. They arranged themselves as teachers and came to Yolanda.

"Teacher Xiao, Teacher Luo. What do you want to talk to me about?" Yolanda's memory was added to the information of the two people by this world in a few seconds. "

"Yolanda, I want to ask you a question." Xiao Chen said, "Do you think your life is real? Do you think you really live in this world?"

Yolanda was stunned. She didn't quite understand what the teacher's question meant, so she nodded and said, "Operating a mecha to fight is the most real life I can think of. Only when I tremble, shake and collide in battle, do I feel that I am truly alive. Studying here, fighting here, this is the life I want. "

"Doesn't this world give you any unreal feeling?" Luo Ling also asked.

"Unreal?" Yolanda said, "How can it be? If this world is fake, then aren't all my efforts fake? Although I can't remember many things when I was a child, I really remember many scenes of my efforts... From a girl who yearns for mechas to a warrior who actually operates mechas to fight. If this is also fake, then I would rather never wake up in this dream. "

Xiao Chen smiled and said: "Well said. I am very happy to see that your goal is so clear, then do it seriously, and never give up easily. "

The two left the lounge where Yolanda was. Luo Ling looked out from the window of the corridor. Outside was an ordinary earth city, but when Luo Ling was observing it, the city began to change and evolve in a fast-paced way, like a fast-moving shot that was accelerated thousands of times. Houses were demolished and houses were built. The process was repeated many times. When it finally stopped, what appeared in front of them was a super-modern city full of technology that matched the mecha. The pedestrians and vehicles in the city were moving in an orderly manner.

Luo Ling said: "The fantasy world created this time is a little different. In fact, I didn't polish the scenes outside carefully, but they were able to evolve by themselves, and the result of the evolution still looks very real. "

Xiao Chen said: "Do you remember that when we step into the master level, we have to break the boundary between reality and illusion? "

"Yes. "

"I think that stepping onto the holy level is to let us turn the false reality into the real reality. The reality that is under our control and subject to our will, even if it looks like the real world and has all kinds of details, is it really real? "

"Of course not, it is just the result of illusion reaching its extreme. "

"So I think the real truth should be something that exists independently of our will, something that exists objectively. We can give birth to it, influence it, and destroy it, but we cannot guarantee that every link is under our control."

"Just like in mythology, God created humans, but cannot control the fate of humans."

At this time, a man who looked like a security guard came forward. Xiao Chen did not let the world inject him with memories. Therefore, he did not know Xiao Chen and Luo Ling. He looked at the two strangers with some caution. He asked: "Who are you? Why did you appear in the mecha training center? Do you have a pass?"

"We are just curious and came in to take a look." Luo Ling said.

"Another mecha enthusiast? You people are really troublesome. Go away, or I will call the police. Is this the first group of people I have met? You are really endless. Can't you go to the annual mecha exhibition in two days?"

The security guard drove them out, but the two seemed very happy because they had no idea what the security guard said.

Luo Ling said: "Since the world we created has reached such a level, what about ourselves?"

Xiao Chen smiled and said: "Of course it is the saint."
