"The entire world, from the twenty eras to the first nineteen eras, the Three Gods were the hands that continuously harvested and exhausted the world's resistance. The final era was the harvest. It was a complete harvest of the world, a continuous cycle of reincarnation and collapse of space-time.
"The collapse of space-time and the impermanence of time. This is the greatest horror."
In the quiet hall, the other Adil was still speaking. His voice and aura remained calm, exactly the same as Adil's main body. "Eight reincarnations. You will be the ninth.
"I deliberately had Chen Qing leave this message behind so that it would serve as a warning and a warning."
"This world has long since fallen into a state of collapse. Every scene you've experienced and every person you've met is a wave that has long since been buried in history. They are both real and illusory. It's only because this world's time and space have collapsed that they can reappear."
"Only in these ruins can I avoid being affected by the power of reincarnation and barely leave behind a message for the next me.
"Now, you can listen to me."
On the other side, the other Adil took a deep breath and said, "This is a gamble with everything on the line. The two sides of the gamble are us and the world."
"The one who loses will be devoured by the other side and become the support of the other side."
Hearing this, Adil could not help but frown.
How crazy was it to gamble with the consciousness of a world?
This idea was simply too dangerous. In most worlds, the world had no consciousness and could only be manipulated by others. Only a small number of worlds with a large number of living beings would have a hazy world consciousness.
This kind of world consciousness only had the most hazy of instincts. Even though it was still not easy to deal with, as long as one grasped the appropriate way to deal with it, there was still a good chance.
However, the consciousness of this world was different.
The fall of the gods and demons gave birth to a malignant tumor. Through a long period of effort, this tumor had already developed primitive intelligence. Step by step, it nibbled away at the original world's power and gradually became a new world consciousness.
Apart from not completely usurping the last bit of authority, this was practically a world consciousness that possessed intelligence.
Gambling with such a world consciousness in someone else's world?
Just the thought of it was enough to make one's head swell.
"Don't think it's difficult."
In front of him, as if understanding his thoughts, the other Adil continued, "Under normal circumstances, if we are the living beings of this world, it is naturally impossible for us to defeat the will of this world."
"Our greatest advantage is that we are not natives of this world. To the world itself, we are variables. We are not part of this world's reincarnation cycle."
"His origin was split, and one part became the Three Gods. But his original body existed in the Sea of Origin of this world."
"Once I gather the Three Gods' Essence, I can use the power of my Transcendence Ability to open a passage to the Origin Sea. When that time comes, I'll have a chance to win!"
"If I fail, I will immediately activate my Transmigration Arcana and leave."
"Because of the limitations of his power, I can't remember the previous seven experiences. I also don't know what will happen if I activate my Esper ability in this world. It's possible that I will disappear directly, or it's possible that the cycle of reincarnation will begin, and the memory of this space-time will be empty, and another cycle will begin."
"No matter what, we have a chance to start again. If we can't do it, we will immediately leave!"
"Think of our teachers and friends in the Mason District, think of our mother and sister, and think of Edith and our children. We must win and return."
"Think of our promise to Lerla, Chimu, and Slime. We still have to bring them to battle again."
"As such, do your best …"
The other Adil said solemnly as his body gradually became illusory and started to disappear, "Believe in your own judgement and don't let yourself regret it!"
Hua Ying landed, and a wave of elemental power descended. His body completely disappeared, turning into a rain of light before disappearing.
Looking at his other self disappearing, Adil was stunned. He seemed to be immersed in this information, unable to react.
"How was it?"
The old woman's aged voice sounded out.
She stood next to Adil and looked at Adil with bright eyes, seeming to be filled with anticipation, "Do you understand?"
"I have a rough understanding."
Facing the statue, Adil rubbed his forehead, feeling quite confused. There were many things he wanted to say, but he did not know where to start.
As such, he waved his hand and said somewhat helplessly, "Don't say anything for now, let me recover."
Standing by himself, his thoughts gradually became clearer.
Was the other Chen Heng real or fake?
When exactly did this game begin?
There was also another loophole in his words …
"My child, is this a reminder?"
Standing in the corner, Adil muttered to himself, feeling quite confused.
Everything else that the other Chen Heng had said was correct, but there was a big loophole in this.
Adil did not remember having a child.
There were only two possibilities for the other Chen Heng to say this out loud and reveal such a big loophole.
Either this person was completely fake, and what he had said was just to lead Adil to achieve some sort of goal.
Or, he had done this on purpose to remind Adil of something.
However, regardless of which possibility it was, it was quite unlikely, and there was no need to fake it.
"Playing with a world's consciousness, this isn't something I would do."
In the end, Adil smiled and got rid of the thoughts in his mind, gradually calming down.
"Have you thought it through?" the old woman's voice sounded out.
"I have a rough idea."
Adil nodded before saying, "You don't look surprised at all by this scene?"
"Of course."
The old woman nodded before saying, "Just like I said before, I've seen similar scenes more than once."
"We've met since the first time you descended into this world."
"However, the you back then was different from the one now."
"Different?"
Adil felt quite confused.
"When you first descended, you were also my little brother. In order to protect Victoria City, you also chose to suppress the Sun God."
"But then, you seemed to have sensed something, and before the Sun God completely fell, you directly left this world."
"The second time, you sensed the traces of the world itself. Before suppressing the Sun God, you found this place and saw Gan Lai, who still had a bit of remnant consciousness at that time."
"Gan Lai?"
Adil was taken aback, and the figure of an old man in a black robe appeared in his mind.
"Yes."
The old woman nodded, then said: "Unlike you, we are all undead that have long been buried in the past. We should have died a long time ago, but because of the bit of world force we grasped, as well as our unwillingness and resentment, we were able to struggle at death's door, surviving one epoch after another."
"The same goes for Gan Lai."
"In the second reincarnation, you saw Gan Lai, who was on his last breath and about to completely fall. You saved him and left a mark on him so that it would remind you to come to this place in the next reincarnation."
"So after the second reincarnation, you would always come to this place."
She glanced at Adil and asked with a smile, "It's the same for you, right?"
"Indeed."
Adil thought for a moment, then couldn't help but nod in the end.
"This is the bottom of the world, the holy land that used to be the center of the world. Blessed by the former World Lord, it was able to maintain its existence in the collapse of the world and shelter us dead undead."
"The first time you came to this place, it was completely by chance and the result of your diligent search. But the next few times, it was the means you deliberately left behind, luring you to come here in the next reincarnation and obtain the true truth from us undead."
"Speaking of which, there is a very interesting thing that happened."
The old woman smiled, looked at Adil in front of her, and seemed to think of something interesting, "Although this place is a holy land, it has been corroded after all, and the surroundings are densely covered with all kinds of pollution and traps."
"In the first few reincarnations, your doppelganger would always fall here, and then your main body would immediately escape. Your alertness was commendable."
"In the end, we had no choice but to take action and clean up most of the pollution in the vicinity, and then find out the remaining traps in the surroundings to prevent your clone from disappearing in this place."
She looked at Adil with some admiration, but it was unknown whether it was admiration or disdain in her eyes.
Adil's expression was calm, and he didn't seem to care about the old woman's gaze at all. He accepted it openly, not feeling the slightest shame.
There was nothing much to say about this matter.
When faced with a problem, it was best to protect oneself. This was Adil's way of doing things.
The world of the Sorcerers was full of danger. No matter what, people only had one life, and if they were not careful, they might die in a trip to another world sooner or later.
If this clone of Adil died here, then Adil's main body would definitely leave immediately, without the slightest hesitation.
"Fortunately, after experiencing this situation four to five times, we have a rough understanding of your situation. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, we definitely won't let this clone of yours die outside. In fact, we don't even dare to sever the connection between your clone and your main body, because the result will be the same."
In front of Adil, the old woman shook her head, seeming to deeply resent Adil's advancement.
In response, Adil had nothing to say. Looking at the stone wall in front of him, he could only stiffly change the topic, saying, "What's going on outside?"
"You mean the other me outside, as well as Ganlai and the others?"
The old woman very proficiently took over the topic, as if she had already guessed that Adil would ask this question.
