"I once believed without question that this world was a novel. My worldview had been shaped this way, and fate itself was controlled by words..."
"The moment I caught sight of the Text Canopy, that understanding took root deep in my heart."
"When I first came here, I thought everyone was a Brain in a Vat, bound in place. The Text Canopy used layer upon layer of dreams to restrain human souls. Everything, including the Abyss invasion, was a script written in advance, making the characters formed from these souls struggle within predetermined fates to create a twisting, dramatic plot..."
Martin's worldview was built upon dreams.
He and his "brothers" were all souls who had escaped from different layers of dreams.
He climbed between different Dream Layers, relying on Dream Realm Power to evade pursuit and travel through the Abyss of another dimension. Thus, he firmly believed in the part of the world that dreams revealed to him.
After learning about the Dreamscape Sect and witnessing the Text Canopy with his own eyes, he became utterly convinced that "the world is a novel."
The reason he wandered through the Abyss, constantly seeking the truth, was also to prove this point.
"The words floating in the sky are the foundation of the world."
"Changing the words changes reality."
This belief was continuously confirmed during his journeys through the Abyss. He had seen fabricated destinies and powerful races manipulating weaker beings. So-called time and space were merely toys to be adjusted at will in the hands of those powerful races. Why, then, could that not prove that above all these fates stood a "Creator" more powerful than anything else, controlling everything?
Everything Martin had experienced validated his worldview. As his strength grew, he was able to remain in Dream Layer 0
