Wang Lu still remembered that he had seen an interesting question a long time ago.
How could a person prove that he existed?
Because there was a prerequisite to this question: You can't prove that anything actually exists, because we can assume that everything around you is an illusion. All your senses are blinded by a brilliant practitioner with magic. What you see, hear, and touch are all illusions and things that don't exist. In this case, you naturally can't prove that anything exists.
So, can a person prove that he or she exists?
For this question, there was once a sage who said: I think, therefore I am. It means that when I think about this question, that is, when I think about it, the thinking itself must exist, and the act of thinking must have a carrier, that is, the existence of the person who thinks, right? Therefore, the existence of my thinking means that I, the carrier, must also exist, so there is' I think, therefore I am '.
This truth was not absolute, but at this time it seemed to explain everything that Wang Lu saw.
'I think, therefore I am' … The principle of the dream is the same. If there is a dream, there must be a dreamer. A dream world as prosperous and developed as the new demon world must have dreamers who carry the dream. When he guessed that the new demon world was likely to be a dream, Wang Lu began to guess who created this dream? But he did not expect that this person was not a great demon king with an earth-shattering Primordial Spirit cultivation, but thousands of demons who had once fallen into despair.
And seeing the magnificent mountain of corpses displayed by the demon king, many of Wang Lu's speculations were further confirmed.
"A harmonious new demon world is good, but suppressing the fighting nature of the demons is ultimately against heaven, so there is the wind of destruction, right?"
The demon king said, "Yes. Every once in a while, our negative emotions, such as hostility and resentment, which are forcibly suppressed by the new demon world, will erupt. This force is so powerful that it is no less than the power to create the new demon world. It is enough to interfere with the real world … So it forms the black tide that we often talk about. "
"For the slumbering demons, the arrival of the Blacktide is like a beautiful dream that suddenly turns into a nightmare. Fortunately, when the nightmare ended, the memory of the nightmare would disappear. However, when the dream switched, the new demon world actually did not exist. During this period, all the people who could not switch their dreams synchronously would be swept away by the nightmare. When the nightmare ends, they won't come back. "
As the demon king spoke, he looked at Wang Lu. "Fortunately, you didn't go too far when the Blacktide came a few days ago. At that time, the courtyard that you were in was fixed because of your arrival. The places that were further away were completely destroyed when the dream changed. If you had gone too far, you would have been swallowed by the nightmare. "
Wang Lu smiled and asked the next question, "The cycle of sweet dreams and nightmares lasted for two thousand years, but it shouldn't last forever, right?"
The Demon King nodded. "That is indeed impossible. This beautiful new Demon World is ultimately going against the nature of the Demon Race. It is going against the heavens. The regular outbreak of the Blacktide is only a temporary solution. In the past hundred years, the arrival of the Blacktide has become more and more frequent. Probably one day, the Blacktide will completely devour everything. During this period, we have tried many ways to slow down this process. For example, the large-scale promotion of the lightning ball sport, so that the people of the Demon Realm pour their passion and blood into the sport to slow down the outbreak of the Blacktide … You see, those fans who are cheering fanatically on the field, they are unusually excited. In fact, we have deliberately guided them to release a little of the darkness in their hearts. "
The Demon King said and pointed to the 100,000 fans outside the VIP seats. Wang Lu looked at them and indeed felt that the fans were in an abnormal fanaticism.
"But this is just a drop in the bucket. The darkness that has accumulated for two thousand years behind the new Demon World has accumulated over time."
Wang Lu asked again, "Then what role did you two play during this period?"
"We are the Watchers." The elder sister said helplessly, "During the Great Catastrophe, not all the demons fell into a deep sleep. In the ruins of the Eternal Tree, some Watchers, our ancestors, were left behind. The task of the Watchers is to survive in the ruins of the real Demon Realm, to be the inheritor of the Demon Realm's civilization, and to monitor the changes in the new Demon Realm's Dream World. This Dream World that has gathered hundreds of millions of creatures has unparalleled power. You should remember the Blacktide that ravaged the Demon Realm, right? That is the aftermath of the nightmare of hundreds of millions of creatures. The ancestors did not dare to let the Dream World develop on its own, so they left us behind. If one day the Dream World is on the verge of collapse and may cause a big disaster, we will wake up the Dream World. "
"So now you are …" Wang Lu asked hesitantly.
"We should be regarded as the fallen." The elder sister explained bitterly, "The ancestors left us behind in the hope that we can monitor and balance the Dream World. But as the situation of the Demon Realm got worse and worse, the Watchers became more and more desperate. And this despair will be captured and attracted by the Dream World. Hundreds of years ago, there were constantly Watchers who were attracted to the Dream World and became a member of the new Demon Realm. They enjoyed the beautiful dream-like life and completely forgot the duties of the Watchers. And in our generation, even from the moment we were born, some of us were pulled into the new Demon Realm and played the corresponding role. We have to rely on the power of the ruins of the Eternal Tree to barely resist the gravity of the Dream World and maintain our self-consciousness. Unfortunately … In order to send you out of the Demon Realm, we lost the protection of the Eternal Tree and finally fell completely. At this point, the Watchers in the Demon Realm are completely extinct. "
Wang Lu was stunned when he heard this. "… So it's my fault?"
The elder sister shook her head and said, "Even without your appearance, my sister and I would not be able to hold on for a few years … But now that I think about it, maybe we should have let go of our persistence long ago, so that we could enjoy a few more years of beautiful Dream World life. But now, the collapse of the new Demon Realm is not far away. In at most ten years, the replacement of the new Demon Realm and the Blacktide will completely collapse, and this time, no one can even wake us up. We can only watch the Blacktide break out of the cage of the Dream World and completely devour everything, including the Demon Realm and the wider world. "
Wang Lu waved his hand. "Okay, no need to go so far. Let's get straight to the point. You want us to help, right? "
"You are the only ones who can stop this from happening." The elder sister said, "There are no longer any creatures in the Demon Realm. We have completely transformed into Dream World creatures, and it is impossible for us to wake up and change our fate. But you are different. You are still alive. As long as you can Resuscitation from the Dream World, it is possible to wake all of us from the outside and end the Blacktide. "
"What is the specific method?" Wang Lu said, "The space barrier of the new Demon Realm is unbreakable. Obviously, it was created by your ancestors to maintain stability when they constructed the Dream World. If we want to Resuscitation from this Dream World, I am afraid we have to cultivate until we reach the Shattering Realm. "
"If the new Demon Realm is in its complete state, it is true that only a cultivator who has ascended to the Ascension Realm can break through the Dream World. But … there is a flaw in the transition between the new Demon Realm and the Blacktide. If you can grasp the flaw, you can break through the Dream World and Resuscitation in reality."
"… Grasp the flaw in the transition between the new Demon Realm and the Blacktide? How do we do that? "
"… We are not sure." The elder sister, the great demon king, shook her head irresponsibly. "We are just characters in the Dream World. How do we know how to wake up from the Dream World? The clues we can provide are only this much. The rest depends on your own efforts. "
With such an answer, Wang Lu was too lazy to complain. He got up and left.
The great demon king then reached out to erase the gray space. Thus, the stopped time flowed again, and Wang Lu's ears once again heard the earth-shaking noise. The demon king and the sisters in the VIP seats had disappeared without a trace.
— —
When they returned to their original seats, the song and dance performance in the middle of the stadium had not yet ended. Aba and his four companions were shouting with red eyes. Their mental state was stimulated by the dancing girls' thighs that were sometimes raised high. They even completely ignored the dignified face of Wang Lu who had returned.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Mumu was attentive. She could tell at a glance that Wang Lu had something on his mind.
"I just experienced an unexpected romantic encounter …" Wang Lu sighed and then told her what happened just now in great detail.
When they learned that the essence of the new Demon Realm was actually a dream world, even the few chief disciples who were experienced and knowledgeable felt that it was inconceivable. But more importantly, how could they seize the gap between the transition between sweet dreams and nightmares?
"Based on the previous situation, there is indeed a gap between the two Dream Worlds." After pondering for a long time, Qiong Hua said, "Previously, when we used the sentry guard to explore the situation outside, we captured the figure of the undead skeleton at the moment when the sentry guard was destroyed. I think that is the flaw that the Demon King mentioned."
Wang Lu said, "The timing can be determined, but what do we need to do in that instant to wake up from the dream? This is the problem."
"It's very simple." Qiong Hua once again opened her mouth, "Seize that moment and use the Kill Immortal Sword to cut a path to the Nine Regions."
"… Senior Sister Qiong Hua is really simple and crude."
"The simplest is often the most effective. Moreover, do you remember how we entered this world? We were originally at the edge of the Demon Realm, but we were unknowingly pulled into the dream world. It seems that the dream world of the new Demon Realm has expanded to an incredible level in the past two thousand years, and it will soon swallow up the entire Demon Realm. Previously, when we entered the Demon Realm, we couldn't leave, mostly because of this layer of interference. In this case, even if we manage to Resuscitation from the dream world, it would be nothing more than returning to the Demon Realm again, still trapped in the dream world. Therefore, if we want to do it, we must do it in one go, directly break free from the cage of this dream world and return to Nine Regions. "
Wang Lu said, "The idea is a good idea, but Senior Sister Qiong Hua, if I remember correctly, your Kill Immortal Sword is inhabited by the creatures of the Demon Realm, so it can only cut a path to the Demon Realm. As for the path to Nine Regions, how are you going to cut it …"
Qiong Hua just smiled and said nothing.
That smile, however, sent chills down one's spine.
