Legend of the chosen ones: Beyond Destiny

Chapter 496: Questions and Answers_2


If everything you perceive is false, mere illusions, resulting from your brain being immersed in a laboratory vessel and subject to delicate manipulation and stimulation.

Then, how do you break free from this illusion?

Unfortunately, things that do not exist often cannot be falsified, and before discussing an argument, the inevitable premise is — prove existence, not non-existence.

If the target were ordinary people, this question is destined to exist only as a speculative topic, with no way of true verification.

Unsolvable.

Regrettably, the unsolvable also stems from the limits of mankind.

And in a world with Superior, merely this degree of 'unsolvable' doesn't even have the possibility to stand!

Its flaw is already in its premise!

Brain in a vat.

A vat?

Why is it merely a vat?

If you truly have unlimited resources and infinite power, why bother putting a brain in a vat to create such a small illusion?

The reason for the brain in a vat is… the scarcity of resources, utterly insufficient to create a truly lifelike world!

This world is bound by limits.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be such stagnation in theoretical advancements over the years, no pioneering breakthroughs, nor successors who surpass the craftsman who stands still.

If falsehood is rooted in one's consciousness, then any attempt to create new theories and innovations must still be verifiable and understandable by one's own cognition and consciousness. Otherwise, if you were to stubbornly concoct an innovation like 'bananas with large banana skins,' it would instead disrupt Ji Jue's understanding.

Then, the premise is already clear.

If this world is false, then it is inevitably limited, inevitably impoverished, and resources are inevitably scarce. If you wish for the illusory to reveal its true form, then just squander and waste these resources.

At the moment of decision, Ji Jue began to act.

Ten years? Twenty years? Thirty years?

He threw himself into it without a care, squandering his assets like a madman, creating sweeping Spiritual Forests on the unpopulated Thousand Islands.

Countless crystals connected through Spiritual Circuit to form a colossal structure, under the sixteen-layered framework, thousands of sequences and tens of thousands of base plates were interlinked as one.

That abstract and complex bizarre structure sought to achieve only one effect.

Simulating reality to the greatest possible extent!

The cottage version of the once Tower of Transformation, undoubtedly crafted by Ji Jue's own hands, everything within his cognition and perception as a result...

"Now, are you ready to start the Matryoshka?"

Ji Jue grinned, chuckling lightly, and without hesitation activated the simulation array.

Boom!!!

At that moment, within the linkage of the Spiritual Circuit, in Ji Jue's brain, there erupted a colossal sound as if the cosmos were being split open.

Next, in the diffusion of mental fog, countless Spiritual Crystals began frantic calculations, creating a rapidly expanding realm within Ji Jue's mind and perception.

Filling it with innumerable islands and oceans, every thread, every detail seen clearly. Every single rock, every drop of rain, every wave!

Pa…

Ji Jue's nosebleed dripped down his face with a sizzling sound, the blood nearly boiling, almost obliterating body and soul in this terrifying heat.

Unprecedented fear and unease erupted, urging him to quickly end all this. Are you damn well looking for your own demise, does the reality of this world truly matter so much?!

"Of course it matters so much."

Ji Jue grinned, blood spreading across the smile, in a daze, it seemed he saw the illusion again, the sky slowly darkening, the earth crumbling, the seawater boiling.

Then, in that instant, in the imagined reality within his mind, silently appeared one Spiritual Crystal after another.

An imagined array identical to reality…

"Remember what I said?"

Ji Jue smiled at himself, at the world, telling it: "The Matryoshka, is just beginning!"

Then, within the simulated world, the second layer of simulation suddenly began!

Boom!!!!

The world is born in a thunderous roar, seemingly to vanish again in the clamor.

Ji Jue finally heard, a lament as if myriad things shattered.

.

.

It seemed like a dream.

Ji Jue opened his eyes in confusion, rubbing his face, feeling a sense of fatigue and bewilderment, the memories of the dream quickly dimming, dissipating, becoming unclear.

He yawned, lazily got up, and instinctively rubbed his wrist.

Stunned on the spot.

Confused.

Looking down, his wrist was empty.

Yet after coming to, there was a watch, hmm, drowsy from sleep, didn't even notice it just now, he shook his head with a self-deprecating smile.

Yet inside his heart, inexplicably, began to grow uneasy.

"What's the matter?" Ye Chun curiously poked her head, yawning, her long hair scattered on the bedsheet, sprawling out without a care for personal image, nor of exposure, still looking like a sun-dried salted fish, lazily.

Kicking him.

"Hungry, go and cook!"

"... Lazy dog can starve to death for all I care."

Ji Jue frowned, but seeing her nuzzle up in a cutesy way, he could only sigh helplessly, get dressed, and get out of bed.

Outside the window, sunshine beamed.

The sky exhibited, plants verdant, truly a fine day.
