"The me outside, including Gan Lai, the Power King, and the others, are both real and fake."
In the silent ruin, the old woman spoke calmly.
"Even if it's real, it's fake?"
Upon hearing this, Adil frowned as if he had thought of something.
Something was both real and fake. This sounded contradictory, but coupled with the scene before him, Adil couldn't help but think of something.
"That's right. Both real and fake."
Facing Adil, the old woman smiled and said, "Just like the relationship between the main body and the mirror image.
"The people who appear in the outside world now, be it me, the Power King, or the others, are essentially people who have long been buried in the past.
"We have long passed away in the past eras. The us who appear in the outside world now are only a projection of our past selves."
"The Shadow of Time and Space?" Adil said calmly.
"The Shadow of Time and Space?"
Upon hearing Adil's description, the old woman was taken aback. After thinking for a while, she couldn't help but nod and say, "That's a very apt description."
Adil roughly understood what was going on.
Even though he had many doubts about this world, he was, after all, a great warlock who had traversed many worlds and seen far more than the people in this world. Naturally, he easily understood the scene before him.
If Adil's guess was right, this entire world was actually a reincarnation cycle that was both real and fake.
All the people and things in it were undoubtedly real. They were the projections and reappearances of the past, and they were being displayed once again.
To understand it in an easy-to-understand way, it could be understood as a standalone game.
The entire world was the setting of the game, and the characters in it were real manifestations of the past. They were equivalent to plot characters.
These plot characters could be said to be real or fake.
It was said to be real because they had indeed existed in this world. It was said to be fake because their real selves had long failed and died. At this moment, they were just projections that the world's consciousness had copied from the River of Time and Space.
As for Adil himself, he was a complete outsider and the only player in this standalone game.
As a player, his goal was naturally to pass through this entire world, which was to defeat this world's consciousness and obtain more resources.
This world also hoped that the player, Adil, would be left behind.
This was because only then could he truly come back to life.
This world had long died. The reincarnation of time and space seemed grand and magical, but in reality, it was a sign that this world was gradually heading toward destruction.
If there was no external interference, after the reincarnation cycle continued, this world's power would continuously be exhausted, and sooner or later, it would completely collapse.
And the unexpected appearance of Adil was this external force that had appeared.
As a Level-5 Great Sorcerer who had inherited the bloodline of the Emerald Mother and was about to become the next Great Sorcerer of the Emerald Light, Adil's origin was robust. Even in a world, it was not to be underestimated.
As long as it swallowed him, it would possess a brand new source of power, and the entire world would have a brand new life force, and there would truly be hope for recovery.
However, as the only player in this world, Adil was not an easy target.
His transmigration ability was his final trump card. Once he felt that something was wrong, he could immediately leave this world, announcing the end of this round of the game and the start of a new round.
This was equivalent to grasping the power of a standalone game. If the player did not go well, he could restart the game.
Because of this, Adil had been able to last until now.
"This is difficult …"
After thinking through these key points, Adil frowned, feeling that it was a bit difficult.
Having the power to restart the game did not mean that he had control over everything.
His opponent was this world's consciousness, which had awakened its own consciousness.
If he wanted to win this reincarnation game, it would mean that he had to fight against the entire world. If he was not careful and took a wrong step, he would lose everything.
More importantly, being in this world, the other party could block out his memories of his previous experiences.
This meant that every time, he would have to start over and face the situation in a daze. On the other hand, the other party could observe his actions time and time again, analyzing his personality, abilities, and even trump cards. From there, it could lead him into a fatal trap step by step.
"How do I get out of this?"
Standing where he was, Adil could not help but think to himself.
Compared to the other party, apart from being able to restart the game, he had no advantage at all.
Moreover, starting over might not be safe either. Once he chose to restart, all of his memories of this experience would most likely disappear, and he might not be as lucky next time to understand the truth of this reincarnation.
If he faced a prepared world's consciousness in a daze, the outcome would be even worse.
"There's no need to worry too much."
Standing where he was, looking at the frowning Chen Ming, the old woman lightly sighed, "Things will eventually sort themselves out. This is what you said to me in the last reincarnation."
"I think this makes a lot of sense."
She smiled and encouraged Chen Ming, "Compared to the first few times, this time, we have a big enough advantage.
"Nothing happened to your clone, and you knew the truth ahead of time. This is already a big advantage.
"You've been here for so long, but you haven't figured out a way to defeat the final culprit?"
Adil frowned and asked.
"Of course there's a way …"
Hearing Adil's words, the old woman lightly sighed, "Over the countless years we've been here, we've discussed and figured out a few ways to defeat the culprit.
"The first is to expand the domain of reality, which is the area of influence of this ruin. This will cause the area that 'He' can control to shrink until the entire world becomes real."
"This method won't work."
Adil shook his head, his expression calm, and directly rejected the idea. "The consciousness of the world in the past has long since died, and it is impossible for it to return. Being able to possess this land today is already the last bit of its power that protects it."
This method was not feasible.
The reason why the current world's consciousness had become like this was because the previous world's consciousness had completely died.
A fallen world's consciousness being able to protect this historical remnant from being affected by the reincarnation was already its limit. Hoping that it could defeat the current world's consciousness was simply impossible.
"That's what you said in the past."
Looking at Adil and hearing his words, the old woman said somewhat helplessly, "But if that's the case, there's only one method left.
"Defeat the three gods. Use the three gods' origins to form a staircase, walk up to that existence, and directly defeat him.
