Tears of joy streamed down the boy's face. Ever since his previous life, he had had a vague feeling that something was wrong with this world. Only in this life did he have the possibility of rebelling against this false fate.

His body solidified completely, breaking the boundaries between truth and falsehood, illusion and reality. The world before him was like a thin sheet of paper; a slight poke could create a hole in the space.

Dozens more fighter jets flew in from the sky, raining down all sorts of gunfire and ammunition on the boy as if it were free. Several white lines appeared in the distance, the trails left by powerful missiles and long-range strikes.

The terrifying sound of bombing echoed through the sky, but the boy at the center of the explosion wasn't even scratched. The explosion only slightly ruffled his hair. It's almost impossible for something fake to harm something real. The reason the boy's hair was still ruffled was because there were still many elements of existence in this world.

The greater the weapon's power, the more existential factors it contains. However, these existential factors are far too illusory compared to the boy who has already solidified his body.

The boy laughed wildly, but suddenly his gaze sharpened as he saw a person standing on some ruins not far away. Not everyone had survived the previous earth-shattering attack, but their faces were all filled with fear and panic.

This person, however, was completely different. He wore an amusing smile and acted as if nothing happened when shrapnel and debris flew past him. Most importantly, despite being so close, he wasn't covered in dust, and his clothes were brand new.

But you have to understand that the boy is completely naked now. Any clothes are meaningless to him; they would be torn apart if he moved even slightly, not to mention the threat of artillery fire.

Furthermore, although he is much more realistic than this world, he is still susceptible to the adhesion of small things such as dust. After each attack, some dust sticks to his body, and he has to use some force to bounce it off.

"You're from a higher-level world! So killing you will definitely allow me to achieve an even higher level of advancement." The boy's face was filled with murderous excitement. Lu Li frowned slightly, and then he understood the reason.

The reason this person was able to mutate is because the program of the Mystery of the Womb was not fully executed. More than ten years ago in this world, the consciousness of the boy's previous life became very active after years of learning. In addition, with the accumulation of consciousness in previous lives, his consciousness became extremely powerful, and he vaguely glimpsed the reality of the world.

This person subsequently died and returned to the Mystery of the Womb. However, due to a computational error, the process was incomplete, and the person's memories were not completely erased. With the help of these remaining memories, the person began to have an increasingly severe impact on him. He continued to believe that this world was fake, and finally, in a mistake a few days ago, he killed someone.

It was only after killing that person that the boy discovered his body had been greatly enhanced. Thus, in this false worldview, the boy became a serial killer, using his powerful physique to commit murders.

Today, he felt that his strength was almost there, and he vaguely sensed that he was about to reach a higher level, so he went all out, which led to the scene before him.

The boy always had the advantage in terms of strength when hunting his targets. Due to years of hunting, his thinking had entered a strange loop, and his first thought for anything was to kill it. He wasn't stupid; it was just that years of habits had made his thinking somewhat distorted.

So when he encountered Lu Li, he made the worst decision: to kill him and see if the boy could choose again. He was certain that Lu Li would kneel down and beg for mercy.

After the false dream was swallowed up by Lu Li's Dreamlands, it became part of the Dreamlands. Lu Li had absolute control over it. They suppressed a large number of people with Type III consciousness in this false world, preventing them from becoming extraordinary. If they were serious, they could naturally demote this provocative insect back to its original form.

So one moment, the boy could break through the illusion of space and appear in front of Lu Li at supersonic speed, but the next moment he was just like an ordinary young man who took two steps and then tripped over a stone on the side of the road.

The boy moved his hands and feet in disbelief, looked up at Lu Li who was not far away, roared as he stood up, and shouted, "My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens! Even if you are the heavens themselves, you cannot make me submit! Watch me defy the heavens..."

The boy's speed and strength were all limited to the level of a normal person, but his body was made up of a large number of existence factors, so his defense was still intact. He realized this, which gave him the courage to continue resisting.

Unfortunately, when Lu Li pointed his finger again, the boy collapsed to the ground. His body was too heavy; the previous suppression was merely an external restriction on his strength and speed, but this time, it directly limited his power at its root.

The boy lay on the ground, completely unable to control his body. Only then did his thoughts begin to function. He tried to beg for mercy, but he couldn't even move his lips. Furthermore, due to his lack of strength, his own existence factors began to escape on a large scale.

Soon the boy became an ordinary person again. Even the portion of his consciousness that exceeded his normal range was cut off by Lu Li. Although it wouldn't affect the boy's thinking, he could no longer observe the world beyond the illusion, and his ability to absorb existence factors was also restricted again.

Lu Li then vanished in a flash. The boy, sweating profusely, tried to get up, silently thinking, "It's good that I'm not dead. Everyone has to experience failure. If I fail this time, I'll definitely succeed next time. Going against the heavens, just wait and see. You will pay the price for your contemptuous behavior."

Then it seemed as if something was being cast down from the sky, followed by a surge of light and heat that filled the entire world, and a mushroom rose up on the map.

Lu Li then investigated the situation in the three Star Calamity Worlds and found that all three worlds had various bugs, large and small. Although they were not difficult to solve, they were still quite troublesome.

"Is my current computing power only enough to control three illusory worlds?" Lu Li writhed his Shadow Body. This was when he was in a calm state. Once in a state of battle, insufficient computing power could cause the three worlds to collapse.

"It seems we still need to find a way to solve these problems." Lu Li wriggled his body and looked at some monsters floating in the sky. He gradually had some ideas, but he still needed to proceed slowly.

"Let's patch these three worlds a few times first to reduce the burden on my computing power." Lu Li shifted his body, getting back into work mode.
