Huh? Aren't you guys exploiting a bug?

Cheng Shi felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, his body tensed, and he was completely caught off guard as he was swept away from this space by the enormous suction force.

He seemed to have fallen into a torrent of Nothingness, being rapidly swept away from this place.

His stretched consciousness and distorted senses were rapidly recovering. Before long, he felt as if he were in a floodgate being opened, and after passing through a certain spatial node, he was sprayed out with a "bang."

"Grass..."

Cheng Shi tumbled back into the Void. Looking at the slowly closing Void gap in front of him, he felt as if he had been pulled out of the Void.

"Haha, lucky us, we've arrived!"

Hu Wei's voice was very excited and enthusiastic. Cheng Shi got up and looked at him, but as soon as he turned his head, his expression froze.

Pupils are shrinking, eye sockets are widening, field of vision is slowly rising, and what is in the eyes is bright and dazzling... light!

But this light wasn't coming from Cheng Shi's eyes; it was a reflection!

The reflection of a wall of light!

Following Cheng Shi's gaze, what stood before him was a towering golden wall that could be described as a "giant wall reaching to the heavens"!

This high wall pierces the "clouds" and its top is not visible. The entire wall shines with a sacred light. Although it just stands there quietly, it faintly exudes a terrifying Void fluctuation.

Moreover, even though it was an inanimate object, when Cheng Shi looked at it, he clearly felt that there were countless eyes on the wall staring at him!

What's this!?

Yan Chun's shock was even more overwhelming than Cheng Shi's. He stared at the familiar-looking giant wall, speechless for a long time.

"This... this is..."

Hu Wei laughed heartily and patted Yan Chun on the shoulder.

"What, don't you recognize me?"

Isn't this the Wall of True Knowledge that refuses entry to all knowledge thieves?

!??

The four people stood under the wall, looking as tiny as ants under an elephant's hoof.

Yan Chun looked up at the enormous wall that shone with holy light, her mind buzzing.

"True knowledge... high walls..."

Could this be the Void Experiment Ground of the Tower of Reason?!

His voice suddenly rose, and he pointed at the giant wall in front of him, shouting incredulously:

"We arrived in Gasmella in just a few hours!?"

Hu Wei a smile:

"Indeed, this is the Void Experiment Ground of the Tower of Reason."

This Wall of True Knowledge before you is the very original version of the Wall of True Knowledge that you Folly people have imitated!

It stands in the Void, penetrating to the infinite depths, solely to stop those thieves who attempt to steal the Truth and to dissuade those who covet the essence!

Yan Chun, you're very lucky. I never expected we'd actually stumbled upon a Void Experiment Ground today!

Bump?

Cheng Shi keenly grasped this keyword and recalled Hu Wei's every move in that gel space.

He used his greatsword to shatter a mirror, and then everyone was sprayed there.

Could it be that...

There are many such mirrors. Hu Wei randomly picked one and got incredibly lucky.

But what is that space, and what is the significance of the mirror?

Just as Cheng Shi with extreme doubt, Bai Fei, who was beside him, unexpectedly offered an explanation:

"[Giggle and Mock]."

"?"

Cheng Shi turned around and saw that Bai Fei's expression was still Indifference, but there was a hint of surprise in her eyes as she looked at the giant wall.

It seems she was also surprised by her good fortune today.

Bai Fei didn't explain further; she walked straight down to the bottom of the giant wall. Hu Wei, however, smiled and gave all the answers.

"The 'Giggle and Mock' that Xiao Bai mentioned is the river we just smuggled across."

"A river? Is that a river?" Cheng Shi asked, somewhat taken aback.

"Indeed, a River that He created with His own hands, buried deep beneath the Void, representing 'reality'!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Shi's expression turned extremely strange.

He seemed to already know who this "He" was.

Hehe, is that you?

Only you could pull off something "real" out of the Void, right?

Lord of Grace benefactor?

"[Deception]!" Yan Chun uttered His Divine Name with a serious expression, a fleeting look of fear crossing his face.

Cheng Shi keenly noticed this scene, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.

Wow, that's interesting.

This Folly Believer seems to have been taken advantage of by swindlers before.

"That's right! It's definitely [Deception]!"

It is rumored—and I cannot guarantee whether this rumor is accurate—but at present, it seems to be the most reasonable inference.

He felt that existence in the world was unchanging and too boring, so He wanted to steal the Divine Authority of time and evolve existence on His own.

He succeeded and indeed stole the Divine Authority of [Time], but due to the presence of the two beings of [Existence], He had no choice but to hide this ingenious idea in [Nothingness].

Thus, in the depths of the Void, [Deception] carved out an eternal River that is constantly Change, and filled this River with [existence].

His understanding of "existence"!

"..."

Cheng Shi understood.

No wonder Cheng Shi felt like he was home the moment he jumped in.

That's exactly right.

So, my Lord of Grace, your understanding of "existence" is that of a funhouse mirror, right?

The whole world is just one giant "haha".

This episode is definitely the one that best fits the character's persona.

"So... in His understanding, Brother Hu, you are a... pie?"

"..."

These words left Hu Wei speechless, and his gaze towards Cheng Shi was filled with mixed emotions.

Hu Wei couldn't understand why he was a pancake.

He only remembered that the "Deception" "Chosen of God" had said that the image each person left behind as they passed through "Giggle and Mock" was His commentary on all living beings.

However, because these images Change in a disorderly and chaotic manner, almost no one can understand them.

So after a while, Hu Wei had no choice but to accept that he was just a piece of cake in His eyes.

An awkward look flashed across his eyes, and he quickly changed the subject, continuing on.

"This River of reality, buried deep in the Void yet constantly emerging with endless Change, is [Giggle and Mock]."

The earliest historical record of it is in the Void Research Records of the Void Energy Department of the Tower of Reason.

Ever since the Grand Scholar Gro discovered that there was a "He" in the Void, they have been searching for His traces.

Until they found this River flowed like a tide.

"But what does His creation have to do with our coming here?"

Cheng Shi, as curious as a primary school student, kept asking questions whenever he had the chance, as if he knew nothing about [Deception].

Hu Wei laughed heartily and pointed to the giant wall in front of him, saying:

Do you know who this Wall of True Knowledge is meant to block?

Cheng Shi frowned as he listened to this strange question.

Isn't it supposed to be to stop those thieves who try to steal the Truth and to dissuade those who want to seize the essence?

That was clearly said just now, could there be some hidden story?

Hmm? That's not right!

If you hadn't asked, I wouldn't have noticed, but now that you've suddenly asked...

Ah?

Bro, you're not suggesting this wall is to block out the God of Merriment, are you?

Are thieves who attempt to steal the Truth and those who covet the essence both God of Merriment?

"That's right, it seems you guessed it!"

The Wall of True Knowledge is the 'Truth' created by the [Truth Ritual], which can block all thieves of knowledge.

In the days of the Isle of Hope, few could use this colossal wall as a defense, for few could traverse the Void.

Even if such a thing were possible, in a tense situation, the powerful figures of each faction were wary of and tracked each other, making it difficult for one person to do something under the noses of others.

But He was different.

[Deception] He often gazes into the Void, enjoying all the interesting things that happen Void. In order to be the first to see the show, He even fabricated countless 'Scrying Mirror' in the 'reality' He created.

Through these ever -Change mirrors, He can see all the Void and wonders at a glance.

We came here this time by taking the shortcut of 'Scrying Mirror'!

Because each 'Scrying Mirror' corresponds to an 'interesting story' in the Void.

The Experiment of placing the Tower of Reason in the Void is clearly one of the interesting things.

That's why we're here.

In the world of [Giggle and Mock], the Void is intertwined and folded. As long as you choose the right direction, the distance to travel across the entire Isle of Hope may be just a short distance away.

I've entered [Giggle and Mock] many times, but I haven't been to the Void Experiment Ground of the Tower of Reason very often.

That's why I say, we are lucky today!

As Hu Wei recounted his Lord of Grace's outrageous actions, Cheng Shi felt no sense of pride, but rather a strong urge to criticize him, thinking, "You can't blame the child for the parents' ignorance."

So this is what they call exiting the Trials!

So this is what they mean by "follow me"!

While players in the lower emotional skill levels are still buried in guessing the Trials rules, you "Chosen of God" are already exploiting bugs and using the GM channel, right?

Good, good, good. You've learned a lot today.
