Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

Seeing Lu Zhiyao again, Wang Luo found that he didn't seem to be very surprised.

Rather, it would be better to say that seeing Lu Zhiyao here, some of the problems that troubled him, the Immortal League, and Jiuzhou could have a reasonable explanation.

The mastermind behind the scenes... only this identity is suitable for the woman who fell from the sky and disrupted all order.

"Haha, does this expression take me as the mastermind behind it?"

Lu Zhiyao chuckled as usual in the reception room, and then nuzzled at Shi Yue, who immediately withdrew knowingly and stood guard outside the door.

Then, Lu Zhiyao stood up from behind a long table, and Wang Luo noticed that there were still some differences between her and Lu Zhiyao in his impression.

First of all, in terms of age... although it is far from saying that she is old and beautiful, or that Lu Zhiyao at this time seems to be at the most mature and charming age of a woman, but the Lu Zhiyao in my memory has always been Hold on to the idea that being mature and charming is synonymous with being expired and outdated.

Therefore, even after a thousand years of hardships in the Immortal League, Lu Zhiyao still looks as girlish as she did in Lingshan.

"Oh, have you become an old woman again after becoming the mastermind behind the scenes?" Lu Zhiyao said bitterly, but her expression was completely indifferent. She even explained the reason for this discrepancy to Wang Luo seriously.

"Here, immortality is a taboo. Showing aging appropriately will prevent people from treating you as a monster."

When Wang Luo heard this, he subconsciously asked, "Are you still afraid of being regarded as a monster?"

Lu Zhiyao's smile now took on a different meaning.

"Afraid, after all, this is not Kyushu, and I am not the Lord of the Immortal Alliance... So, let's start from the beginning. And before talking, what would you like to drink? I have the ash I found when I was cleaning up the warehouse after the Bottle Ash Valley base was decommissioned. Wine, do you want to try it?”

Although it was a question, Lu Zhiyao had already taken out a bottle of wine with a sense of age on the packaging from the wine cabinet in the reception room, and opened the metal package with her bare hands, and the aroma suddenly filled the room.

"Ha, it's actually genuine ash. This bottle is enough to be worth my legal income for a year. No wonder the old thing hid it in the deepest part of the warehouse. He didn't even want to put it in his own home."

As Lu Zhiyao said, she took out two more wine glasses, poured half a glass into each, and then got down to business.

"What do you think of the world?"

As expected, Wang Luo thought about the question at the beginning and replied: "This is the origin of Taixu Illusion, and it is also the place where Taixu Tianzun really lives. In the past more than a thousand years, he was sealed here by you, through The so-called... open world? "

Lu Zhiyao said: "It's almost the same, but strictly speaking it can't be said to be a seal. It's his own wish to live here, but the part that is released to the outside gives him a headache... But let's talk about these later. . First of all, this is indeed a false world in an illusion. There are ninety-nine pages in Luoshu. Each page is an idea made up out of thin air, and then it gradually grows from an idea into a world that can live and reproduce on its own, which is Chicheng. , divided his consciousness into ninety-nine parts, and experienced completely different lives in different worlds. In some worlds, he was a unique overlord, in some worlds he was a tragic savior, and in other worlds he was driven by chance. A talent delayed by coincidence, in a certain world, he had no talent but became a mortal... Then after each period of life, he will be reincarnated in the original world, until the world also comes to an end, Luo Shuhui. Restart the whole world, think of a new idea, plant a new seed, and start over again, and in this cycle, Tianzun will never wake up."

This part of the content was basically consistent with what Wang Luo had seen and heard in the previous three worlds, so he digested and absorbed it smoothly and then asked his own questions.

"Then what role do you play here, senior sister?"

Lu Zhiyao asked, "What do you think?"

"Creator?"

Lu Zhiyao glanced at Wang Luo meaningfully, then picked up the wine glass and shook it a few times before saying: "The compilation of Luo Shu was indeed my initiative, but it is not my fault alone. At that time, the Battle of Dinghuang was Just ended, Taixu Illusion is basically still a mess. Although a platform has been barely built that allows Tianzun to fake corpses, I also know that relying on technology from thousands of years ago, even with the help of heaven, I want to make a person whose sanity is shattered. If a person is as stable as a god, that is also... a fantasy. "

Wang Luo said: "Indeed, every illusion textbook will mention at the beginning that the Taixu illusion has experienced incredible rapid progress in the early stage before it can quickly get on the right track. But when it comes to the details, they are all unclear... What is hidden here Is it Luo Shu who fell?"

"Yes, in fact, speaking of purely technical details, it is not something that needs to be kept secret. It's just that, in addition to Chicheng, I also dug up many other things, such as the sleeping objects in the Immortal Dry Forest..."

"..." When Wang Luo heard this, he had to take a sip of wine to express his admiration silently.

"In short, using the legacy of my predecessors, I barely managed to get Luo Shu's activation conditions: ninety-nine brilliant ideas, and endless room for growth... But then again, most of the so-called brilliant ideas are just that. I temporarily copied it from the memory of my hometown.”

Hearing the word hometown, Wang Luo couldn't help but adjust his sitting posture, because I'm afraid starting from here is the real focus.

The core of Taixu Illusion is the principle of Luo Shu. In fact, even without Lu Zhiyao's explanation, Wang Luo could guess 70% to 80% of it. Although its core is exquisite, it is still the core that has grown up with the illusion for more than a thousand years. Subtlety is a given.

What really eludes him is Lu Zhiyao, the dean who seems to have been working hard at Luoshu Base for a long time, and the No. 18 main world that is highly similar to her hometown no matter how you look at it!

"So, Senior Sister took advantage of her position to gradually build her own hometown in Yu Luoshu over the past thousand years, and then lingered there forever?"

"Well, that's right." Lu Zhiyao admitted very frankly, but the smile in her eyes was obviously reminding Wang Luo that the truth was far more than that.

Then, according to Wang Luo's understanding of Lu Zhiyao, she is actually not interested, let alone has the patience to be the Riddler, so... Wang Luo knows that there is only one chance to guess.

"So, senior sister, is this your destination or your origin?"

Lu Zhiyao finally nodded with satisfaction and gave the final answer: "It's both. Regarding my past, I have actually never concealed it from anyone, but no one has ever been willing to take it seriously. Now. He is a veritable master of Lingshan Mountain. He holds two volumes of the Ascension Record. You should be able to see the notes of his predecessor and the previous master of the mountain. Lao Song should have mentioned me in it. "

Wang Luo replied: "Yes, Master said that you were a... prodigy that he accidentally picked up."

Lu Zhiyao smiled and said, "It's now time, so there's no need to cover up for me. His original words should be weird."

"Strange things were considered a compliment in those days."

"But it is definitely not the case in his writing. I have been with him for hundreds of years, and I have long distorted his writing habits..."

Wang Luo shook his head helplessly: "Yes, Master actually often reflected on himself in the beginning. Why did he take a child up the mountain on a whim who has long passed the age of entraining qi? Although your talent is good, it is not...at least it was not good at that time. The mountain master can make an exception. And he also said that in the first few years of your practice, your progress was astonishing, but what is more amazing than your progress is your head... and your background. "

Lu Zhiyao swung her wine glass, and her smile was tainted with the sparkle reflected by the gray wine: "Lingshan never cares about their origin when recruiting people, whether they are from a well-known and upright Taoist family or the son of a humble beggar. Lingshan treats everyone equally, but not all It doesn't mean that Lingshan won't do basic background checks on my family. After Lao Song took me into the mountain, he has been trying to find my past, but his efforts have been fruitless... I have been telling him the correct answer, but He never believed it."

Wang Luo said: "The theory of time travel is indeed incredible."

Lu Zhiyao said: "It's just that it's unbelievable to other people. Old Song, or the Lord of Lingshan Mountain, shouldn't be so stubborn. The concept of 'gap' is not a secret at least to previous mountain owners, so the concept of time travel, at least It's theoretically possible. Besides, if it weren't for time travel, how could he explain the endless ideas in my mind?

Wang Luo listened patiently.

"So, I am indeed a time traveler, but I did not travel from a world other than Kyushu. Instead, I accidentally traveled from the main world of Luo Shu No. 18 in the New Immortal Calendar 1,200 years ago to the Old Immortal Calendar era."

Wang Luo still listened patiently, but unknowingly, he had held his breath.

Lu Zhiyao also put down her wine glass and explained this simple but incredible truth to Wang Luo very seriously.

"World No. 18 is the place where I originate. Yes, I was a fictional character born in an ordinary family on page 18 of the Book of Lua."

Before Wang Luo could ask a question, Lu Zhiyao followed up and said: "This world evolved silently for more than three thousand years before I was born. The core of its story is "What would the world be like without the supernatural powers of the gods? "And the conclusion is as you can see, this world will develop extremely prosperously. Of course, looking at the ninety-nine worlds, World No. 18 is definitely not the most powerful. Many branch worlds have given birth to monsters that can destroy the world in an instant. World No. 18 has great supernatural powers, such as the golden man in the sky. Even with all the weapons of the country, World No. 18 is the world that knows best about fiction. Tens of billions of mortals use their own power. Imagination, the development of literature, games, animation, film and television... superimposes fiction on fiction, and builds an incredible fictional world. Then, if there are no other accidents, then fiction should just stay fiction, but after all, accidents happen. Someone opened a gap and let part of the real world flow into the fictional Luo Shu."

Wang Luo reacted immediately: "Taichu?!"

"Yes, Taichu, the so-called magical power of virtual reality is that he opened an ancient gap sealed in Jingzhou. For him, it was a means to dig out the true god of Taixu and make a fatal blow, but for him As far as Luo Shu is concerned, that is the origin of everything. Without the opening of the gap in the beginning, Luo Shu would not be in overall turmoil, which would cause the world of No. 18 to resonate with it, let alone a talented girl who stayed up late playing games before the exam. , and in a blink of an eye he was lying on the Jiuzhou Continent."

Wang Luo was a little puzzled: "The gap was opened in the beginning, but it was at least 1,600 years after you traveled through Kyushu!"

"Because the gaps he activated are not new. Master picked me up back then when he was invited by several big sect leaders to go to Jingzhou and secretly seal the gaps."

"So...because of Taichu, senior sister, you came to reality from the fictional world?"

Lu Zhiyao said: "Yes, since you can come here in person, you should have understood the mystery of it. Gaps can reverse reality and reality."

Wang Luo added: "It is also the origin of the entire world..."

But this reasonable addition made Lu Zhiyao sigh: "Yes, the origin, so after solving the troubles in Taichu, I will be responsible for establishing Luoshu Base No. 2 and starting pre-creation research... It's really It gives me a headache just thinking about it.”

Wang Luo was stunned for a moment, and then a completely incredible conjecture naturally emerged in his heart.

"Senior sister, you don't mean to say that the entire Jiuzhou Continent... is something you will create fictitiously someday in the future, right?"

"It seems that your understanding of this world is finally complete. Yes, at least for now, the entire virtual and real world together form a closed loop." Lu Zhiyao said with a smile, "And in such a closed loop structure, The safest way is to hold the key starting point in my hands. After all, rather than handing over the authority of creation to others, it is better to hand it over to me. Judging from my experience of more than a thousand years, some things must be left to me. It must be done by me. If I had not traveled to the Kyushu continent more than 1,600 years ago, I would not have led the Kyushu people to rebuild civilization in the subsequent era of catastrophe, let alone write the Taixu. Luo Shu. Since I have done so much, I might as well do more, Jiuzhou will exist because of me!”

The self-confidence of the woman in front of her made Wang Luo moved for a moment, and he couldn't help but think of a trivial matter.

"No wonder the Lord of Heaven has never been able to fully reproduce you and replace you..."

Speaking of the Lord of Heaven, Lu Zhiyao looked slightly sad, but the corner of her mouth was sarcastic: "He really thought too much about copying me. Although at that time, he had more magical powers and ancient heritage than me, so The theoretical efficiency of performing the replacement technique is much higher than mine, but he actually copied the wrong object. A person born in a fictional world cannot replace it with the real method, and he ultimately failed to discover the way of reality. He should have been able to realize it. I have instilled in him the concept of time travel since he was a child. He should be able to understand more easily than anyone else that there is no absolute boundary between reality and reality. Unfortunately, his identity as the Lord of Heaven and his cultivation as a Golden Immortal completely blinded him. His eyes. I have said before that desolation is a dead end."
