Wizards are mighty.

Chapter 198

After understanding the relationship between the setting and reality, Vic was thoughtful.

“So, the ‘author’’s’ grasp of the lower narrative layers is actually quite broad.”

“Because the ‘author’ itself is not powerful enough in the higher narrative layers, it cannot provide sufficient computing power to carefully weave the various rules and phenomena in the lower narrative layers.”

“So when the ‘norms’ of a higher narrative level are passed down to our lower narrative level, there will be some distortion.”

"Or, in other words, the world itself discovered the loopholes in these 'settings' and fixed them in some way."

"And those settings that conflict or are difficult to repair will be distorted to a certain extent."

"This distortion is where the distortion comes from."

Unreal Vic nodded in agreement.

"Yes."

“Although the existence of the higher narrative layer has an absolute advantage over our lower narrative layer, the higher narrative layer is limited by the rules of the world in its own narrative layer, and thus cannot detail every aspect of the lower narrative layer.”

"Especially for 'authors' who use 'novels' as a medium, they often write settings that have many loopholes."

“And the reason why most of the settings can run normally in our narrative layer and allow the various stories in our narrative layer to continue is actually mainly because the rules of our world have been self-improved.”

“Although this kind of self-improvement can also be controlled by a higher narrative layer, if the existence of a higher narrative layer is not deliberately emphasized, the world itself will still perform a large part of the function.”

“Once we are free from the control of the ‘author’ or even other entities in higher narrative layers, our world will begin to develop freely.”

"Many loopholes in the 'settings' will be patched up little by little."

"In the future, perhaps we will focus on these things."

"'Ruling the world' doesn't mean there's nothing to do. It's not easy to build a world to a higher level and make it perfect in terms of rules."

Vic nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

But not long after, he suddenly asked another question.

“Does the power to transcend narrative layers really not exist?”

“Is there a possibility that allows us to transcend the limitations between narrative levels and influence the world at a higher narrative level?”

In response to this question, the illusory Vic shook his head with some regret.

"Unfortunately, based on my current research, this is not possible at all."

“Although we can now reach a certain level of tacit understanding with the ‘author’ at a higher level of narrative, as if we are influencing the higher level of narrative.”

"But in reality, we are all just doing one-sided messaging."

"In other words, the 'author' can see what we say, but we cannot know the 'author's' situation or thoughts at the moment."

“The reason why we can reach a certain degree of tacit understanding is actually because we ourselves are the projection of the ‘author’ at this lower narrative level.”

"Moreover, the 'author' at a higher narrative level took the initiative to cooperate with us and did some things, which made us aware of the existence of a higher narrative level and the 'author's' own wishes."

"If he starts to ignore us now, there's nothing we can do."

"Our influence on the higher narrative level is limited to that information, and it is the information that is written by the 'author' and then reviewed by some beings in the higher narrative level." "And this information is not actually our power, but the power of the 'author' in the higher narrative level."

“We who are at the lower narrative level may really be unable to touch the existence of higher narrative levels.”

“Even if we are omnipotent in our own world, we can do things that those beings in the higher narrative layers cannot do at all, and we can enjoy what the ‘author’ dreams of but cannot obtain.”

“But our existence itself is completely subordinate to a higher narrative level.”

"Even if we are out of the control of higher narrative layers in the future, it is actually just that those beings in higher narrative layers cannot tamper with us."

“For the objective world at a higher narrative level, we are still one of the lower narrative worlds controlled by it.”

“What if there is an advanced civilization in a higher narrative layer that knows everything and controls the entire world?”

“Perhaps our world of lower narrative levels will be discovered by them and controlled to some extent.”

"It's inevitable."

"Of course, for those of us who can control time at will, we can actually make this inevitable never come."

"The specifics will depend on our choices."

After saying this, the illusory Vic raised his head as if he had sensed something.

Now, both the real Vic and the imaginary Vic have actually separated from the multiverse itself.

They came to an undefined area outside of their world.

Of course, it could also be said that the place itself does not exist.

They simply left their original world, but do not exist anywhere else.

This state may be difficult for ordinary people to understand, but for wizards who have deconstructed all logic, it is as natural as eating and drinking.

At this moment, Vic and the illusory Vic were waiting in such a state.

Waiting for the "author" at a higher narrative level to create a new world.

It’s not actually appropriate to say that we are waiting.

Because time has no meaning to them.

Without interference from a higher narrative level, they can always go back to any moment in the future or past if they want.

Even the world has completely belonged to them, so what is the meaning of time?

When in that non-existent zone, Vic can not only vaguely perceive other lower narrative worlds belonging to that higher narrative level, but also perceive another almost identical "multiverse".

In fact, he can perceive those other lower-narrative worlds, which is the power given to him by the "author".

Those low-narrative worlds are actually created by the "author" when reading other works or imagining on his own.

Because they themselves do not have a world of higher narrative levels, they naturally cannot perceive the situations in other worlds of lower narrative levels.

Although everyone belongs to the same higher narrative world, they are actually isolated from each other.
