Lan Mu calmly narrated, but his words made Bai Ge's heart sink into a cold abyss.
If Lan Mu hadn't said all this, Bai Ge would still be full of fighting spirit. He was determined to achieve immortality. He had broken through dimensions, dimensions, and the Blue and White World. Now, he was here.
He thought that even if there were any difficulties, no matter how desperate, he could face them.
Even when he heard that the author's journey to transcendence was just a plot, Bai Ge still had the courage to face it.
Wasn't the infinite dimension just like that? The work in one dimension was another dimension. Previously, his dimension was just relatively free. Now, he was facing an extremely detailed arrangement.
If he could accept the past, he could accept the present.
When Bai Ge found out that his entire life was just pleasing a creature from another world, he was already mentally prepared. He didn't break down.
Wasn't it just that his extraordinary life had been set up by someone else? Wasn't it just a greater creature controlling him and everything around him?
Why couldn't he be like Lan Mu and try his best to find that non-zero hope? Who said that there was no greater unknown in this world that allowed a character to surpass his author?
With immortality, unless the author wrote him to death, he would definitely find a way to surpass the author.
Yes, when he heard Lan Mu say that he was the main character, he was already prepared for this.
He even felt that he was more courageous than Lan Mu when he faced the truth. At least he wasn't in a rush. He wasn't like Lan Mu who tried to find a way out immediately.
However, he was wrong. Lan Mu's resolve was beyond his imagination.
Bai Ge's resolve was shattered by Lan Mu's words.
Lan Mu was like him in the past. He wanted to surpass the author once. If he couldn't do it once, he would try twice.
As long as he didn't give up, it would be fine.
However, did Bai Ge really understand what it meant to not give up?
When he thought that he could reach the author's level one day, he had already left room for giving up.
When he thought that if he couldn't do it once, he could do it twice. If he didn't want to do it again after two times, it sounded very unyielding. However, this also left room for him to give up.
What if one day, he really surpassed the author and then overtook the author? At that time, would he stop because he thought that he had succeeded?
Since there was a possibility that he had surpassed the author, was there also a possibility that he thought he had surpassed the author, but in fact, he had not?
Would he still have the courage to continue surpassing others after discovering that he had been deceived time and time again?
Perhaps one day, he would suddenly recognize a certain author as the author, and then tell himself: I've succeeded, I'm absolutely eternal.
Thus, he stopped. He thought that success was equivalent to giving up.
Because how would he know that he would definitely succeed? Who can prove it?
There was no solution. If the truth was infinite, he would never be able to find the answer.
However, Lan Mu … had said something that he had never thought of before. It was something that made him tremble in fear.
"Not limited to a certain result, but always walking on the path of endless exploration of the unknown."
"You clearly know that the truth is infinite, but you still want to find the answer? Once you have a lofty belief in your heart and hope for a result, then this so-called belief itself can be defeated. Just give you an answer, and that's it. "
"If you can't defeat one answer, then give two. It can always be defeated. Isn't the pursuit of an answer? With this mentality, even if you don't break down now, you will break down sooner or later! "
"What will you use to face the unpredictable future?"
Lan Mu's words were filled with infinite belief. He would never compromise. His determination was indescribable. He didn't even leave any room for giving up!
Knowing that the unknown was infinite, he would directly pursue the infinite exploration as his pursuit.
No answer could stop him. He didn't set a goal for himself.
Bai Ge wasn't defeated by despair, but he was defeated by Lan Mu's determination.
"Are you crazy? Haven't you thought that when the author stops writing about us, we might surpass a completely uncertain world of despair that even the author doesn't know about and slowly wait for death? You also said that the author doesn't know all the real and objective possibilities, so to surpass him is based on an illusory imagination. " Bai Ge, who had decided not to give up, was shocked by the future Lan Mu described. At this moment, he actually started to refute the loopholes in Lan Mu's words.
Lan Mu said, "The possibility you mentioned does exist. There are even more desperate ones. For example, when the author stops imagining, you, me, and everything else will be frozen and even disappear."
"Bai Ge, is there anything else?"
Bai Ge didn't expect Lan Mu to say something even more terrifying. He couldn't help but frown. "What?"
"What other results can you think of that you don't want to accept? Tell me, "Lan Mu said calmly.
"Isn't this enough? Can you accept all these results? "Bai Ge asked.
Lan Mu said calmly, "So you think this path is a sure win. You still think that you need a plan that can succeed. Otherwise, this path isn't worth walking, right?"
"Haven't you experienced failure?"
Bai Ge was silent.
Lan Mu said, "Failure isn't scary. The important thing is not to admit defeat. Failure is reality. People have to face reality. Whether they admit defeat or not, it's up to them. People have to surpass themselves. "
"After so many years, I've thought of countless cruel realities. There are many more than you can imagine. However, this isn't a reason for me to stop. In other words, I haven't given myself any reason to give up. "
"When the author completely sets us free, the possibilities are endless. He can't be sure what will happen after that. There are countless possibilities that are even more desperate than you can imagine. There are also many possibilities that can be accepted. One of them is that we can truly surpass ourselves. The author, the author's civilization, and even the gods in the author's universe can't predict it. "
"We can truly surpass the author, or even surpass our imaginations. We can surpass the author's imagination, the author's imagination, the author's imagination, and the author's imagination …"
"It's not zero. That's enough. It's already worth it for me to have the determination to never give up and risk everything."
Bai Ge suddenly stood up. He was completely shocked by Lan Mu's words.
"Who said that it's definitely not zero? If it's really extremely uncertain … I, in short … What if it's zero? What if, even in the infinite unknown, what you want is impossible? "Bai Ge pointed out the mistake in Lan Mu's words again.
However, these words didn't waver Lan Mu at all.
Lan Mu's temperament gave Bai Ge a feeling of "always being the same".
"You see, I think it's not zero, but you think it's maybe zero. This is the unknown. It's not zero itself, and it's not zero either … Bai Ge, do you understand? This vast and infinite unknown allowed me to overcome my fear when I faced the zero that would destroy everything. This vast and infinite unknown allowed me to not compromise when I met the fake author in this world. It allowed me to overcome my despair in the face of cruel reality. "
"If you only think about the possibility that you can't accept, it's equivalent to you knowing that you'll fail from the beginning. You'll be willing to fail and compromise."
"With this awareness, you don't have the right to explore the infinite unknown. If there's an opportunity, you have to seize it. You have to do your best to prepare. Whether it's objectively or subjectively, you can't slack off. "
"Even if there's a possibility that you'll be killed by the author in the next second, if you're afraid, despair, and compromise, then you won't have the right to seize the opportunity when it's really beyond the author's expectations. You and I who compromise are already losers. We won't be able to see that kind of opportunity."
"No matter how scary the future is, at least for now, I, Lan Mu, haven't compromised."
Bai Ge was speechless. When he stood and looked into Lan Mu's eyes, he realized that behind those deep pupils of his, there was an indescribable tolerance.
This was a willpower that he could never hope to achieve.
Lan Mu was prepared to face all kinds of cruelty. What about himself? Was he really ready?
Was he going to surpass infinitely for a possibility that he didn't even know was zero? Was he really going to surpass it infinitely?
That wasn't what Bai Ge wanted. His infinite eternity was for the infinite happiness that came after infinite eternity.
"Ridiculous …"
"There's not even an end point. An endless journey. Besides endless torture, what else is there? What will you get in the end? No, there's no end at all. Because to you, any 'end' is not a scenery that can stop you. Your pursuit itself is that endless pursuit. "
"But what does that have to do with me? What author? That's just an illusory thing. You want to kill him for revenge, not me. What I want is infinite eternity. I want to live forever and experience happiness and freedom forever. "
Bai Ge refuted Lan Mu's words.
He had the courage to face the so-called author. He had the courage to try and find a way to not be shackled by him.
However, Lan Mu's words were like a sharp sword that pierced through his heart.
Not enough. This bit of courage was not enough. Bai Ge's awareness left too much room for giving up and compromising.
Lan Mu bluntly revealed to him what kind of awareness he had to have if he wanted to surpass the author!
Behind this awareness was an incomparably terrifying future. Without true courage, who would dare to look directly at it?
But now, Lan Mu didn't hide it at all. From the beginning, he revealed this cruel reality. Bai Ge's so-called courage and unyielding spirit were instantly worthless.
He couldn't accept this kind of future. In Bai Ge's eyes, it wasn't something worth pursuing. The appearance was a cruel reality with infinite possibilities!
But at the same time, Lan Mu saw hope. It was a hope that couldn't be seen without unparalleled courage.
Hidden under the endless cruelty was a hope that even the author and the author's god couldn't bear to look directly at.
This was the difference in tolerance.
Those who were not prepared to face all the unforeseen horrors and all the possible cruel realities would not accept this awareness.
Bai Ge didn't have such tolerance. In his eyes, the future that Lan Mu described was terrifying.
Unknowingly, he had questioned Lan Mu many times. He even questioned the existence of the author.
