Chapter 259: Fallen into a trance!
Before Shen Wutian took away those captives, you also questioned the Saints of the Immortal Realm about their reasons for invading other realms and seizing the Heavenly Dao.
The information matched what you had gathered from previous simulations: it was all to enhance their power.
You also asked them where they learned the method to devour the Heavenly Dao.
Unfortunately, none of them could provide a clear answer.
It seemed as if this method of devouring the Heavenly Dao had appeared out of nowhere.
The Saints of the Immortal Realm were all using this method, but they didn't know its origin.
Normally, would Saints cultivate a method of unknown origin?
No, something was very wrong!
But these people were under your control and couldn't lie.
So there was only one possibility.Either the collective memory of these Saints had issues, or something was influencing their thoughts.
Who was causing all this?
Was it that black-robed man?
It didn't seem likely; if the black-robed man could directly influence these Saints, it would mean he had been in this timeline.
He would definitely have found you.
Then he should have appeared before you long ago!
"Wait a minute..."
Suddenly, you seemed to realize something!
The black-robed man was searching for you across time!
But is time and space the same thing?
No, they are not!
If it were just time, the black-robed man could have gone to a distant timeline and waited for a chance!
As long as time passed, you would eventually appear in a future timeline.
But the black-robed man didn't do that?
Could he be foolish?
No, anyone who reached that level of cultivation wouldn't be foolish!
Thinking of this, your eyes lit up; you murmured, "So there really are parallel worlds!"
But if there are parallel worlds, why did previous cross-time simulations affect the future?
Could it be a coincidence?
Did you just happen to travel to the same parallel world that intersected with reality?
And this parallel world just happened to be the same as reality?
It's possible, but the odds are too low!
Or is it that the past is singular, but the future holds countless possibilities, hence parallel worlds?
That doesn't seem right either.
If that's the case, why would the black-robed man search for you in the future?
Instead of blocking you in the historical timeline?
Then, there is basically only one possibility.
Both history and the future have parallel worlds.
You feel that only this explains the black-robed man's actions.
But if that's the case, then the previous cross-time simulations affecting the future and reality could only be a coincidence or the simulator's intention! R
If that's the case, is the current simulation in a parallel world?
Are you still you?
Are you simulating, or are you inherently a person from a parallel world?
Your thoughts drift further and further...
Your mind becomes increasingly chaotic, and your aura begins to grow restless.
This is a sign of entering a demonic state!
"Feng'er, Feng'er..."
In your chaotic thoughts, you seem to hear someone calling your name.
"Feng'er, stop; don't overthink!"
"No matter what happens, your father will always be by your side!"
...
Jiang Fushan's voice continuously echoes in your ears.
When your aura began to grow restless, he noticed something was wrong.
Although his current strength hasn't recovered to the half-Dao level, his insight remains; he knows you've fallen into a mental trap.
But with his current strength, he can't forcibly intervene, so he can only keep comforting you with words.
Soon after, your aura gradually calms down.
Of course, it's not because your father's comfort was so effective.
It's because you've figured it out.
Whether this simulated world is a parallel world or not.
Whether the original you is you!
But the current you is definitely you.
Otherwise, you wouldn't have memories and strength from reality.
The simulated you, without the simulator, couldn't possibly have such strength at the age of twenty-something.
This is the best proof!
Once you figured this out, your mental trap naturally dissipated.
"Feng'er, are you okay?"
Seeing your aura stabilize, your father Jiang Fushan quickly stepped forward to inquire.
You shook your head and replied with a smile, "Dad, I'm fine, sorry for worrying you!"
After that, you didn't continue to dwell on parallel worlds or the black-robed man.
As for the anomalies of those Saints of the Immortal Realm?
Well, you can't figure it out for now either.
But you can be sure there's something hidden among them.
A pair of big hands is manipulating all this.
It's too complicated, thinking about it gives you a headache.
Better to take it one step at a time!
In reality, Jiang Yifeng was already drenched in cold sweat.
The situation in the simulation just now gave him a fright.
Not to mention the mysteries, his simulated self almost fell into a demonic state.
He wondered what would happen if his simulated self hadn't realized it in time.
If he got stuck in a mental trap, what would happen?
Suddenly, Jiang Yifeng had a terrifying thought.
If his simulated self didn't wake up, would it harbor hostility towards his real self?
This seemed highly possible.
Then, would it turn against him?
There's a possibility!
However, the feasibility is low unless it becomes strong enough to break free from the simulator.
Huh? Strong enough to break free from the simulator?
Suddenly, Jiang Yifeng thought of that black-robed man.
Could this person, who even the simulator is wary of, be a version of himself from a simulation?
No, that's not right!
If the black-robed man were a version of himself from a simulation, he would definitely know about the simulator's existence.
He would also know where his real self is.
He wouldn't mindlessly chase himself across different timelines.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yifeng felt relieved.
Thank goodness!
He was really afraid it would be such a clichéd plot.
Although he's certain the black-robed man isn't a version of himself from a simulation.
Jiang Yifeng still noted down the potential risk of his simulated self losing control.
He kept reminding himself.
"Try not to think about things you can't figure out, don't get stuck in a mental trap."
"Even if it means doing nothing, it's fine!"
...
After a long time, he felt his mental suggestions were sufficient.
So he continued to look at the simulator.
