At that moment, Li Chen's CPU was completely overheated.
Is it true or false? It has already deviated from all the truth he had obtained. If what she said is true, then who am I really?
What happened eighteen years ago?
Is it possible that Li Chen is still alive?
Or perhaps Li Chen had lied to him, and everything he had experienced was a lie. In a daze, a vague Dream flashed through his mind, in which he was sitting on that cold stool, watching everyone gradually disappear.
"Who... am I?"
Yan Qing frowned slightly as she looked at Li Chen's somewhat dazed expression. She had told Li Chen the truth, but why would he appear among the Human Race in this manner?
Could he possibly be reincarnated?
Suddenly her pupils contracted slightly... as if she had thought of something, she glanced at Li Chen and then quickly left.
It seems I've gotten the answer I wanted.
Li Chen had already fallen into his own so-called logic. If most of his life had been a lie, and he was searching for a false truth, then who was guiding him forward?
It's all fake... then who is real...?
What should he do? At this moment, he was plunged into deep confusion.
Suddenly, a detached voice echoed in Li Chen's mind.
"Yes, I've always been here."
My name is Li Chen.
In the Throne Space.
The fifth door opened completely at that moment.
Endless Black Mist was released from inside, enveloping all the doors. The wounds on Li Chen's body also returned to their original state. He looked at the open door with some hesitation, and walked in without looking back.
He needs the truth, he needs to know his identity.
In an instant, Black Mist surged.
The surrounding space shifts, and familiar fragments of memory come flooding back.
This time it's not that old, dilapidated house.
Instead, it hangs suspended in the Starry Sky.
Li Chen could even see those glittering stars and countless planets rotating.
A dazzling light shone among the stars.
Suddenly, the Milky Way changed color.
The stars dimmed, and a strange, murmured voice rang out.
The surrounding planets began to strangely deviate from their original orbits, and many even shattered instantly, with tentacles extending from their interiors.
"Mutation..."
"Could this... be the universe collapsing?"
"Is this a fragment of Li Chen's memory?"
"No, he should have come out to see me. Why would he let me see these things?"
Countless questions arose in Li Chen's mind.
And at this moment, the Mutation of the stars is unfolding.
Until the universe completely degenerated into a paradise of the Eerie Monsters.
The video then abruptly ended.
A detached voice rang out, but then suddenly sounded somewhat puzzled.
"So, what are your thoughts?"
"Eh... that shouldn't be the case. Why would someone with your strength be able to enter through this door?"
Li Chen turned his head and looked over. It was still that familiar figure, but this time Li Chen was sitting on the throne at the very top of the first gate, looking down at Li Chen with a look of utter confusion.
"Li Chen... you lied to me."
"Was the annihilation of all things 18 years ago something you unleashed?"
"You told me back then that it was because those Eerie Monsters of reincarnation invaded this universe, and you fought hard to resist them, but you were no match for the power of the Reincarnation Authority, which plunged the entire world into an eternal cycle in search of the optimal solution. But why did you appear eighteen years ago, and how was I born?"
"Another God told me that the so-called cycle of reincarnation is what you experience again and again, what you try countless times. Does that mean that I exist only in this one timeline among all those timelines? And how do you know so clearly that I am the optimal solution right now?"
"You're even willing to give up everything to help me ascend to godhood?"
Suddenly, Li Chen sensed something was wrong again.
If we follow his line of thinking, then all judgments are invalid. So what exactly is he pursuing?
And was he also a pawn of Li Chen?
This is the biggest question: the Eldritch God has already devoured Li Chen, and these are just fragments of his memories. So what's the point of Li Chen deceiving himself?
Everything is stuck in a vicious cycle.
All Li Chen needed was that one truth.
Li Chen looked at Li Chen with a slight smile, gently resting his hand on the throne, and said, "Does what you know represent everything?"
How much do you truly understand about the Reincarnation Authority?
Why do you think your world still exists?
"Which side can you distinguish between falsehood and truth?"
Does the so-called Human Race really still exist?
Or perhaps it wasn't a group of Eerie Monsters in disguise?
He paused, then said, "The power of the Gods is unfathomable, undeniable, and irresistible."
"When you get to this point, it means you should know the truth."
"The Reincarnation Authority does not mean the entire universe will be reincarnated, but rather that your world will constantly experience the same things. Whether it's the invasion of Eerie Monsters or the Human Race fighting for territory, their so-called life is ultimately fake, because the Reincarnation Authority imprisons them in that small world where they cannot become Gods, which is your planet."
But the variable lies between you and me.
"I said long ago that you represent new life, you represent Forbidden. Forbidden is indelible. Your appearance shattered everything, whether it was reincarnation or humanity itself, all of which broke the laws that were supposed to function because of you."
"You are that virus."
"A virus that paralyzed the entire machine."
"It was your appearance that gave me hope in fighting against those old gods. I only need to slightly alter the Trajectory of the Human Race in that cycle of reincarnation, and you can completely integrate into it and grow slowly. Everything you do has been repeated thousands and tens of thousands of times before my eyes."
"As long as you can ascend to godhood, it doesn't matter if this world is annihilated or devoured by Eerie Monsters."
"Because Forbidden God has been born."
But Li Chen was still puzzled and asked, "Then why are you willing to give up your life so that I can ascend to godhood? And am I your reincarnation, or your so-called new life?"
Undeniably, if Li Chen's words are correct, then why would he give up his own life, willingly die, and become the shell of Eldritch God?
Li Chen remained silent for a moment, then said helplessly, "This is an uncontrollable bug. You represent my reincarnation, and I should have been a human, but because I ascended to godhood, you appeared in the Reincarnation Authority."
"That's the variable; once it starts, it's like the butterfly effect, quickly amplifying everything small, and the situation gradually becomes bizarre."
"The power of the Reincarnation Authority is too terrifying. Even I only had a slight contact with it, and I ended up like this. Why do you think I would place all my hopes on you?"
Because I see no hope, I see no future.
"The outside world you inhabit has long been watched by the ancient gods. The universe has collapsed. Reincarnation created you, an outsider. The Life Authority Human Race to try countless times with you. The rules are protecting you. The entire planet is composed of the Authority Power, and you can keep searching for a breakthrough."
"But it is precisely because the power of this Authority is being depleted that you think it can continue to function for so long."
"That's why I'll do anything to make you a god. Do you understand now? Reincarnation resets everything. Although you've lost your memories, you possess everything I have, which means you know the whole truth in every reincarnation. All the schemes that Human Race is plotting against you now were personally orchestrated by you."
