Conflict of wills.
Li Chen wanted to know the answer, he desperately wanted to know the true nature of this world. He knew he was already caught in a mystery, but he had no choice but to uncover the truth.
If he doesn't go, who else can?
Cang Yue smiled slightly, and a Black Mist ring slowly appeared on her wrist, emitting a faint Black Mist like tentacles, and began to approach Li Chen's wrist.
Li Chen naturally noticed it, hesitated for a few seconds, but still allowed the Black Mist to wrap around his wrist.
Cang Yue sat directly on Li Chen's lap without any hesitation. Her scarlet eyes were fixed on a face that was as sharp and cold as if carved by a knife. Her disheveled black hair intertwined with her white hair, and her expression seemed to have become a little rosy.
However, Li Chen had already closed his eyes, seemingly unwilling to pay attention to her actions, and his consciousness had sunk into the Throne Space; he was going to search for answers.
In the Throne Space.
As always.
As Li Chen strolled through the darkness, a small, white-haired loli floated behind him with her eyes closed, following closely behind. She looked almost exactly like Cang Yue, and Li Chen even mistook her for Cang Yue as a child before entering the Throne Space with him.
He recognized the loli's aura; it was the same aura Li Chen had possessed back then. However, she wasn't as terrifying as Li Chen, at least not in terms of her aura.
But how do we wake her up right now?
Cang Yue didn't tell him what to do; was he supposed to just lock him in through the Forbidden Door?
Li Chen shook his head, dismissing the thought.
That container is full of Eerie Monsters; wouldn't putting it in just accelerate the corruption of this God before us?
So what exactly should we do...?
Before he knew it, he had arrived at the seven large doors that once stood there, and things became even more eerie...
Since he began to use Forbidden Power extensively, this space has also suffered a backlash, and the Eldritch God has also used some unknown means to try to devour these Authority.
"Dad..."
"Cangyue misses... you so much."
Suddenly, a very soft gasp rang out.
"Hmm?" Li Chen turned around and looked over. Just as he turned, a hug came over him. Had this little girl suddenly woken up?
She hugged his neck tightly and cried loudly.
Does she see herself as her father?
Who is her father?
After pondering for a few seconds, Li Chen arrived at a definite answer.
Li Chen!
He had seen Li Chen's appearance before, and it was exactly the same as his own. If this was his daughter, then nothing would be surprising. However, he hadn't expected that his daughter was also a God.
And how did it get into Cang Yue's body?
However, Li Chen only wanted to know the answer now. Using an extremely clumsy method, he grabbed Cangyue and pulled her down, saying, "I'm not your father. Your father is currently inside the Forbidden Door."
Cangyue wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, her large, bright eyes staring at Li Chen for a few seconds, as if to confirm his identity. After confirming that he was not Li Chen, she slowly took a step back.
Her little face wore an extremely arrogant expression.
This stark contrast left Li Chen speechless for a moment...
Just like Cang Yue, Li Chen has the same personality. But he didn't expect Li Chen to have a daughter, and he had never heard him mention her.
Before Li Chen could speak,
Cangyue then said, "I'm sorry, I got a little emotional just now."
"Thank you for waking me from my slumber."
Li Chen hummed in agreement, finding Cangyue to be much more normal than the Cang Yue outside.
But what he needs right now is an answer.
Is it really as Cang Yue said?
Cangyue glanced at the large doors behind Li Chen, sighed, and said, "It seems I woke up too late after all; there's nothing I can do to stop it."
Li Chen frowned and looked at her, asking, "Is this world really as Cang Yue described?"
"Is everything an illusion? Are humans merely struggling creatures in this bleak world?"
Cangyue was silent for a few seconds, then said, "False? What is real in your eyes?"
"Is the world you live in now all an illusion?"
"The emotions and ideas that you humans generate are born solely from your own consciousness, but falsehood is how one views the world through their own thoughts; your thoughts represent both falsehood and reality."
It's like a mental illness; he's trapped in a hallucination.
One side is a bizarre world, the other is the real world; both are real. Which side would he choose?
The only answer is that he has the person he loves and the person he wants to protect on that side—that is his will and his thoughts.
And now, Li Chen is caught up in it.
He couldn't tell the difference.
Two divergent ideas arose from the difference in will.
Is reality an illusion, or is it real?
But now, with just one sentence from Cangyue, he was struck by a profound realization. Yes... if even he himself doesn't believe in the truth of this world, what's the point of his life living in it?
So-called free will is about breaking free from the cage, but when you know that the world itself is a cage, will you still struggle?
Yes, of course.
But do you have that ability?
This is why Li Chen wanted to find the answer. Everything is done according to one's heart. When one's will is shaken, one will naturally seek a belief that strengthens one's resolve.
Once broken, Li Chen will be lost in the cage of searching for his beliefs.
Cangyue stood not far from Li Chen and continued, "An unknown world, an unknown cycle of reincarnation."
"If it weren't for Father's Reincarnation Authority, humanity in this world would have been wiped out long ago."
This is your last chance.
"If we cannot gain the Forbidden's approval, we will all be lost in the river of time."
Li Chen was very puzzled and asked, "Why?"
In fact, he had long wanted to know about reincarnation, because he was Li Chen's reincarnation, and he knew about it. But why would it affect all of humanity?
"Heh..." Cangyue sneered, "Because all of humanity has escaped this calamity thanks to the Reincarnation Authority!"
"Why did Black Mist appear in this world? Why did Eerie Monsters invade? Isn't it all because of humanity's own actions? Go and explore those strange beings."
"It attracted the attention of those ancient gods beyond the universe. With just a single glance, this universe was annihilated, and the Reincarnation Authority created everything you live in now."
"The price was the destruction of the previous world, leaving only you, the last remaining Human Race. If your father hadn't also been born Human Race and used his Authority, you would have long since fallen into the Eternal Abyss."
Li Chen was utterly shocked.
Is that how it is?
Li Chen once said that he had destroyed a world, which turned out to be the world he himself lived in. The Reincarnation Authority has reset everything and started anew.
However, Li Chen still had some doubts and asked, "Then why, even though they used the power of Authority, is this world still being invaded by Eerie Monsters?"
