Chapter 243 Home Advantage
"Since the heavenly rank is elevated one level at a time, then could the real world we live in also be just a higher heavenly rank?"

“Is there a higher narrative being looking down upon us?”

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao's pupils slowly dilated and goose bumps stood up uncontrollably all over his body.

As a time traveler, he may actually come from a higher narrative level!

A world outside the box!
In a sense, this theory may well be correct!

At the same time, Zhu Haomiao also instantly understood the meaning of [Nihilism Sect].

A group of idealistic lunatics who regard everything as nothingness, seek transcendence, and desire to jump out of the box!
On the other side, seeing the young man lowering his head in thought, Ye Wanning and Li Cang looked at each other worriedly.

The ideas of nihilism are like a virus!

Don’t think too much about it. The more you think about it, the easier it is to get stuck in it!

And the more brilliant the genius is, the easier it is for him to go astray!
Thinking of this, Ye Wanning reached out and held Zhu Haomiao's hand, squeezing it with such force that it hurt slightly.

"Xiao Shui, I am real, you are real, Cang Cang is real, Diao Chan is real..."

“Don’t get stuck in a logical loop that can’t be proven!”

Hearing his senior sister's earnest advice and looking at her worried eyes, Zhu Haomiao smiled slightly and gently held her hand.

"Ah."

The power coming from her hands was warm, stable and calm. Ye Wanning breathed a sigh of relief and added with some concern.

"Although the Nihilistic Sect does not have a strict organization and can even be said to be a loose group, they are all crazy."

"Because they regard everything as an illusion, they can do many inhumane things without any psychological burden."

"What's even scarier is that they don't even think they're doing evil."

"It's like killing an NPC, slaughtering a village, and destroying a country in a computer game. In their eyes, everything is just a false program, meaningless 0s and 1s."

"They might just turn an entire plane into purgatory on a whim..."

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao's heart moved, and he remembered the commotion he made when he ascended. Those soldiers of the Eight-Nation Alliance were corrupted and twisted under the light of his soul, and the entire area outside the imperial capital was like purgatory...

The boy pursed his lips and could only smile politely yet awkwardly.

There are twelve volumes of military books, and my name is in every volume!
Senior sister!

I suspect you are playing tricks on me, but I have no evidence!

On the other side, Ye Wanning continued speaking worriedly, unaware of the boy's wild thoughts.

"The most terrifying thing is that this inner transformation of thought is imperceptible."

"Many members of the [Void Sect] were originally the chosen ones of various major forces, or even the holders of the highest authority!"

"Once they 'awaken' and recognize the so-called truth of the world, they can instantly abandon the beliefs they have previously protected with their lives and treat them like old shoes!"

"But the apparent change of stance is not the most fatal. The most fatal are those members of the [Nihilism Sect] who are quietly lurking. They are likely to bring major disasters to their forces, or even to the entire human race, at a critical moment!"

"At the same time, the existence of these guys will make everyone suspicious of each other and unable to unite." "Because even your old comrades who have shared life and death with you may have their thoughts twisted quietly."

"I secretly regard you as a meaningless bubble, a betrayal without any psychological burden, and even use you as a test subject..."

Speaking of this, Ye Wanning seemed to remember something, and her originally bright and clear eyes became slightly dim.

Li Cang on the side sighed softly, patted Ye Wanning's shoulder, then looked at Zhu Haomiao and took over the topic.

"In short, the members of the Nihilism Sect are the most dangerous in the world. They do whatever they want, regardless of others or themselves, and often behave in illogical ways."

"And their favorite thing to do is to target the top masters of each level and observe their mysterious changes between life and death, trying to find the key to open a higher level of narrative..."

"I was ambushed by a member of the [Void Sect] this time. If it weren't for the home advantage, I would have almost had to reincarnate and start over."

Listening to Li Cang's cold and calm words, Zhu Haomiao caught the key words and asked curiously.

"What is home field advantage?"

Ye Wanning, who had regained her spirits, took over the topic and explained.

"First of all, each level of heaven has countless illusionary realms. Do you understand this?"

"Ah."

"Generally speaking, when you ascend to the next level, the first fantasy realm you land in is your home!"

"Of course, it's not absolute. If you get killed out of this fantasy realm not long after you stay there, it can't be called your home ground."

"The key is to see how well your own power is combined with the laws of this plane."

"The higher the degree of integration, the easier it is for you to exert 100% or even 120% of your strength!"

"But correspondingly, if you go to other fantasy realms of the same level, you will experience a longer [compilation period]. If the underlying laws of the two fantasy realms conflict or are incompatible, your strength will even be greatly reduced."

Hearing a new word, Zhu Haomiao began to dig deeper.

"What is [Compile Time]?"

"Uh... this is what we young extraordinary people say. The explanation in the textbook should be called [Adaptive Coupling Period]. It is the process of converting your own law power into local laws after you land in a strange fantasy domain..."

“However, I feel that the word ‘compile’ in computer programs is more accurate, more intuitive, and easier to understand.”

"It's like putting a Windows program on an iOS system. You can't run it directly. You have to compile it into a language that iOS can understand before it can run."

"But because the underlying codes of the two systems are different, some functions may be missing, resulting in your ability to only be able to play a part, or even be cut in half. This is the [away disadvantage] as opposed to the [home advantage]."

As Ye Wanning murmured slowly, she found that Zhu Haomiao seemed to be finding it increasingly difficult to understand, so she quickly changed her way of putting it.

"For example, in a fantasy world of a future sci-fi world line, the local mecha system extraordinary people can exert 150% of their strength."

"And you are a martial arts master from the fantasy world of immortal heroes. Theoretically, your physique is comparable to that of fine steel. Your strength can subdue dragons and tigers, and you can tear apart a Gundam with your bare hands!"

"But the underlying physical laws of the science fiction world do not allow you to fight against steel with your flesh and blood. Even if you complete the [compilation], your strength, speed, and physique will be greatly reduced."
