"To prove that I truly existed."
"That was why I chose to transcend."
"That's what you mean, isn't it?"
Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, barely managing to digest the facts this Past Self had laid out. Though they sounded utterly unbelievable, he had to admit that, logically speaking, they were at least complete.
Of course.
Digesting them did not mean he could accept them.
He still could not understand the choice this Past Self had made. To put it more bluntly, he did not understand why this Past Self had wanted to verify something so meaningless. Especially after this Past Self had made it clear that all his actions remained within the scope of permission granted by a possibly existing author. Conversely, once such actions had been permitted by the author, this Past Self no longer had any secrets at all. Everything was laid bare. Besides, the author's creative power had limits. Just as a human could not lift himself into the air, even someone with extraordinary abilities could not lift himself up. Therefore, any plan permitted by the author could not help someone forcibly cross dimensions, just as the author himself could not create a life-form capable of crossing dimensions. Even Lu Yuan understood this principle. He did not believe this Past Self did not.
Still, the world was vast, and everyone had their own ambitions.
Lu Yuan had his own path to walk.
This Past Self of his also had his own path to walk.
He did not understand it.
But he respected it.
That was Lu Yuan's attitude.
As for what this Past Self had said to him earlier...
For example, predicting that he would one day walk the same path...
He did not know where the other party's confidence came from.
Nor did he know
