After pondering for a moment, Zhou Heng gathered his words. As he crushed the "Time-Space Paradox" in his hand, he declared firmly, "The endless paths should not be like this. They should be fewer; as dreams, if they cannot even maximize pleasure, what kind of dreams are they? The so-called Endless Dream-Slaying Road should not be like this. It should be milder, more hateful, more contemptuous. Only dreams like those are what I, Zhou Heng, should challenge and face."
When Zhou Heng finished, he discovered that every sentence he had spoken had been recorded by the "Time-Space Paradox" and printed out line by line in the center of his vision. Then the "refutation" effect activated. The fewer "endless paths" were refuted and became more numerous; the maximized "pleasure" was refuted and became maximized "pain"; the milder, more hateful, more contemptuous "Endless Dream-Slaying Road" was refuted and became more filled with morality, sincerity, and goodwill.
And so, as those three "propositions" were refuted, the Lord of Time and Space's quest, the "Endless Dream-Slaying Path," became extraordinarily strange. It possessed the "truth, goodness, and beauty" produced by Zhou Heng's refutations, yet also retained boundless "excruciating pain." Even in a heartwarming dream of merely feeding a little girl ice cream, he had to endure intense pain from nowhere with every bite she took. Along with this "pain," all the irritation and negative emotions deep within a living being's heart surged forth as well. Then something interesting happened: as an individual human, he received truth, goodness, and beauty from the outside while suffering incomparable agony and anguish within.
Zhou Heng remained in this extremely peculiar dynamic equilibrium, doggedly enduring these dreams of "truth, goodness, and beauty" bit by bit, while also striving to spare some attention to deal with any "past-life" scenes that might
