Chapter 154 The Truth About Hell and Fairy Tale World
Sunlight filtered through the layers of leaves, dappling the forest floor, and a witch in a long, flowing dress licked her lips with her tongue.

The flowers closed their buds at this moment, and the Silver Kingdom in the distance, filled with thorns and fragrant flowers, looked like a dreamlike fairyland under the sunlight.

The group of furry little animals of different species stopped playing and all hid in the tree hole, peeking out furtively, seemingly muttering something to each other.

All of this plunged old Green into complete disbelief and confusion. He couldn't believe that his home was merely a fictional world, a vassal of this hellish planet.

If this is true, wouldn't that be incredibly tragic...?

However, as he looked into the distance, he sensed the familiar magic and scent in the air. Amidst the fragrance of flowers, he saw many adventurers stationed around the Silver Kingdom.

No, something's wrong!

Old Green seemed to be trying to deceive himself, or perhaps making a final stand. He said directly, "Then why are the Silver Nation people who came to Blue Star in normal human form? According to your logic, shouldn't they be grotesque creatures?"

Xue Lude smiled. He was actually waiting for the answer to this question. Although many of his previous guesses were just wild guesses without any factual basis, there were other species on site that could serve as beacons.

Xue Dinglu turned his head and looked at the big sister who had transformed from a silver dragon. This woman seemed to be the Silver Witch that the people of the Silver Kingdom were talking about.

10 seconds left.

“I apologize, Miss Witch. I am a traveler from another world. I apologize for my rudeness earlier.” Xue Dinglu extended his hand. “In my homeland, a handshake is a gesture of friendship.”

4 seconds left.

“You can call me Princess Silver, the mistress of the Silver Kingdom.” The witch immediately extended her hand and shook hands with Xue Dinglu.

The witch's hands were very cold, and she seemed quite restless as she scratched Xue's palm with her index finger.

"2..." Xue's Law silently counted down the seconds.

"Hmm?" The witch seemed a little puzzled by what Xue Luding was muttering to himself, and silently took a step closer.

"1!"

"Buzz!"

The world spun around, the witch who had been holding her vanished, the bright sunlight disappeared, and all the small animals and the fragrance of flowers around them vanished, leaving only the strange creatures that had gathered in the distance, muttering incessantly.

His back was soaked with blood, the movement of the cursed blood being expelled from the grotesque spine that had pierced his skin.

Old Green: "!!!"

Something's wrong. Why isn't that witch in this world? Something's not right... something's not right...

If his world and this hell were mirror images of each other, then the Silver Witch should correspond to a powerful monster. However, the witch that Xue Dinglu was holding disappeared directly, and there was no monster in front of him.

Even now, there are no moving monsters around Xue Dinglu, only head-like figures whispering in the distance.

"I understand now, so that's how it is. I'm gradually coming to understand everything." Xue Luding grabbed the grotesque spine, and the cursed blood immediately covered it. The spine struggled and twisted desperately, and was finally forcibly twisted by the cursed blood into a bone bracelet that was worn on Xue Luding's wrist.

"What do you understand?" Old Green's lips parted slightly, unable to close for a long time, his muttering trembling, as if even his voice was no longer the one he was familiar with.

“The fairy tale world should originally have been just a virtual world. The original inhabitants of this planet created a virtual world of mental network in order to escape some kind of disaster or for some other reason.” Xue Dinglu raised his hand and looked at the bracelet on his wrist.

"The distorted human head of the Thing is actually a life support pod, the creep is the hub for delivering nutrients, and the large, movable Things are backup batteries for delivering nutrients to the head... If nothing goes wrong, they can ignore this hellish world and living environment and spend millions, billions of years in this wonderful virtual world..."

Xue Dinglu raised his head, thinking of the "Infinite Tsukuyomi" plan in a certain ninja village brawl.

That fairy tale world shares a similar concept with "Infinite Tsukuyomi".

The hellish reality has been abandoned, and everyone lives in a world of illusion. Both the morphs and the creep are merely devices to keep people living in this world of illusion forever.

"But why has my illusory world become real?" Old Grimm said, his wand trembling slightly, as if it could sense the turmoil in its master's heart. The wrinkles on his thin face seemed to become more pronounced in an instant.

"That's the question I don't know either, but just like you said, the world of illusion has become real." Xue Dinglu took out his phone, turned on the screen, and started playing a video of "Ultraman Tiga".

"Just like my cell phone, this tokusatsu drama is just an illusion, but suddenly one day I can enter the tokusatsu drama, and the people in the tokusatsu drama can enter my world. The two worlds are like two sides of a mirror, reflecting each other but moving forward independently."

"It's like this hellish world is the surface world, and the fairy tale world is the inner world. There is a 'god' who turned this virtual world into reality and let it evolve on its own for countless years."

Xue Ludao tossed his phone to Old Green, who fell silent. This episode happened to be the one about "Zijera Flowers," which he had seen before. Back then, he had even complained to Xue Ludao, "Isn't living in a fake world just deceiving yourself?" But now, the boomerang mercilessly pierced his body. He felt like he couldn't breathe, his whole body was ice-cold, his hands and feet were trembling, and the whole world had lost its familiarity.

Although there are still many doubts, they are no longer important now, because all that is needed is to know that a single strange spine can instantly travel between the fairy tale world and this hellish planet, and all other minor doubts are insignificant.

"So, the village elder, Grimm, is the real Grimm, and I am just a copy in the fairy tale world, right?" He closed his eyes and spoke this cruel truth.

"Yes and no. I suspect that 'god' will copy all the people in Hell Star who haven't been connected yet at a certain time, and then throw them into the fairy tale world to fend for themselves. If people in Hell are assimilated by the monster, they will directly replace the original individuals in the fairy tale world, like time travel."

After Xue's law was explained, Old Green understood what he meant and added, "Like the episode with Charlie Ga, what's the connection between 'Madoka Daigo' and 'Nagano Hiroshi'?"

"Yes, so you and those people from the Silver Kingdom who came to my world are like bugs in a program, causing doubts about the running program of the Fairy Tale World. Therefore, in order to fix the bugs, many strange problems will occur in that world. Let's go back to the Fairy Tale World again." Xue Dinglu said with a smile.

He withdrew the holy light, grabbed a handful of wriggling fungal carpet from the ground with his left hand, and snapped his fingers sharply with his right.

The next moment, the world turned upside down, and he returned to the fairy tale world. The fungal carpet in his hand did not turn into a product of birdsong and fragrant flowers; it continued to twist and turn. Then, as if it had come into contact with something terrifying, it began to emit white smoke and was gradually eroded.

"This..." Old Green was speechless.

"This is a backup plan to prevent bugs," Xue Dinglu said.

He looked up and met the bewildered witch's gaze. Xue Dinglu waved his hand and asked, "Miss Witch, did I just leave?"

“You just vanished in a flash, and when you came back, you were carrying some disgusting, unidentifiable thing…” The witch hesitated, looking at the boy’s face, and sighed.

What a beautiful child! It's a pity that he seems to have some mental issues and often talks to himself, as if he's talking to something that doesn't exist.

But this was already incredibly delicious prey. Even if she had a screw loose, she could still bring herself to eat it!

Xue's Law shrugged, making Old Green understand everything.

In the distance, Xue Dinglu saw a large number of adventurers stationed there, venturing into the thorns again and again, most of them returning empty-handed.

Xue Dinglu pointed in that direction and asked, "Miss Witch, what's that over there?"

"They are just mercenaries and adventurers who entertain me in my spare time. They are desperate to obtain treasures from my Silver Kingdom." She lightly brushed her hair off her shoulder and glanced at Xue Dinglu beside her from time to time.

In the distance, Xue Dinglu saw a group of adventurers carrying an unconscious person out of the thorny jungle. After treatment, the person woke up, and then the entire adventurer camp seemed to erupt in enthusiastic cheers and applause.

The newly awakened citizens of the Silver Kingdom seemed bewildered by everything before them, but when they saw the white bread and clean water that had only appeared in their dreams, they were instantly moved to tears and joined the cheering crowd.

Old Green fell silent.

This world is an illusion...

But this place was real. He watched as groups of adventurers ventured deep into the thorns to bring out the people of the Silver Kingdom, and recalled the grotesque figures in hell who loitered around the village gates, trying to assimilate "humans".

At that moment, old Green pointed to the crowd in the distance and asked, "So what are they in hell?"

“I guess their physical bodies are long dead, leaving only their spiritual forms,” Xue Dinglu asked. “Because the fairy tale world has been materially separated from Hell Star for too long, those monsters on Hell Star have completely lost consciousness.”

The witch, who was standing to the side, listened to Xue's incessant mutterings to himself and felt only regret.

What a wonderful person, it's just a pity that he has some mental issues.

But it doesn't matter, people with a screw loose are easier to fool, she's just as stupid!
Xue Dinglu turned to the witch and said, "Miss Witch, I heard that the princess of the Silver Kingdom is also sleeping inside. May I have a look?"

The witch's eyes lit up.

It's really out of its mind. Not only does it not resist, but it actually goes to its own lair on its own initiative. Isn't it afraid of being beaten to its knees and then dragged back to the secret chamber of its lair and locked up?
Soon, Xue Luding was taken to Silver City by her. Amidst thorns and fragrant flowers, he saw the Silver Kingdom princess lying on the crystal-like bed, like a sleeping beauty.

"See that? That's the self-repairing ability of this inner world." Xue Dinglu smiled and raised his hand.

Behind him, the witch had already picked up her staff, ready to give Xue Dinglu a whack on the back of the head and drag him back to the lair!

"Buzz!" A snap of the fingers was made.

With a wave of his staff, Xue Lude vanished from the spot, leaving only the witch staring blankly at his sudden disappearance.
