The villains are redeemed, and the heroines cry and beg for forgiveness.

"This is... Azure Dragon City?"

Looking at the familiar scene before him, Gu Ran felt quite emotional.

Although it all looked very real, Gu Ran knew it was fake.

The real Azure Dragon City is not this peaceful now.

Is it an enhanced version of the Mysterious General's illusion magic?

He looked around; Lilith was gone, and now he was all alone.

He didn't rush to try to go out, but instead strode towards Azure Dragon City.

He walked through the slums, where almost every child was actively learning martial arts, hoping to change their fate.

He walked across the Dragon Blood River, a vibrant river teeming with life, where all kinds of fish swam in competition, and occasionally water birds flew over it.

He walked through the streets of the inner city, hearing the sounds of playing, arguing, giving instructions, saying goodbye, scolding, and laughing.

He walked through the gates of Lanxin University, and every student greeted him respectfully, which he responded to with a smile.

He walked to the door of a laboratory.

"It really is exactly the same as the Azure Dragon City I remember, even this small experimental site is exactly the same."

Gu Ran remained silent.

If we're really talking about feelings, he does have feelings for Azure Dragon City, much deeper than for Saint Yor City.

However, the "Lord of the Overlord" miscalculated.

Gu Ran slightly raised her head and looked at the laboratory in front of her, which looked quite ordinary on the outside.

In fact, it has many functions; it is not only a bedroom but also a variety of laboratories.

So the old man who liked to drink brewed coffee called this laboratory a multi-functional integrated laboratory.

Gu Ran gently opened the door to the laboratory, which was empty.

However, the interior furnishings made it seem like someone lived there, with even a steaming cup of coffee on the table.

He could almost picture an old man and a young girl, each holding a cup of coffee, discussing the school's research projects. A young woman stood beside them, smiling and listening to their conversation, occasionally offering her own opinions.

He gently pressed his hand against the wall, and with a slight exertion, the house collapsed.

Gu Ran walked out of the collapsed ruins without looking back.

He walked out of Lanxin University and stood in front of a martial arts gym.

—Reverse Yuan Martial Arts Hall.

There was no one inside the martial arts hall.

However, the furnishings inside were exactly as he remembered them.

He could almost see the girl who always smiled at him and asked him to make a bet.

"You've copied almost everything perfectly, but the most important person is someone you can't copy."

Gu Ran muttered to himself.

Suddenly, everything in front of me shattered as if it were glass.

Countless alien creatures were rampaging through the city, leaving flames and ruins everywhere.

Crying, screaming, madness, killing, biting...

Everything seemed to have returned to the catastrophe when extraterrestrial beings descended upon Canglong City.

Gu Ran watched all of this silently, seemingly unmoved.

Although all of this feels real, it is ultimately fake.

What's fake is fake.

"You think all of this is fake?"

A small figure slowly walked towards Gu Ran.

Silver hair and silver eyes, skin as white as snow.

It is indeed "the Lord".

She walked up to Gu Ran and sneered, "Have you ever heard of the bubble world theory?"

Gu Ran looked at her, his gaze unreadable.

"Appreciate further details."

Seemingly dissatisfied with looking up at Gu Ran, the little girl turned her gaze elsewhere, avoiding looking up at him.

"For an individual life in a world, the lifespan of that world may be very long, but in the endless river of time and space, it is nothing more than a bubble, life and death, all like a dream."

Gu Ran nodded in agreement.

“Each bubble is incredibly fragile, as if it would burst at the slightest touch.”

"But have you ever observed that these fragile bubbles can overlap and merge with each other, influencing and fusing with one another, until only one bubble remains in the end?"

"How do you know that the bubble you're in is the last and only one left? Maybe what you just saw is the 'real' bubble, and those things have just happened, but it has nothing to do with you. You're just an observer."

"What you remember are nothing but bursting bubbles, merely providing nourishment for the last remaining bubble."

The little girl's words were mocking, as if everything she did was ultimately futile.

"The theory of space bubbles... Interesting. Who proposed this theory?" Gu Ran asked, seemingly unconcerned.

The little girl coldly replied, "A spatial ability user."

"So many spatial ability users..." Gu Ran seemed dissatisfied with this answer.

However, he suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "Oh, is it that spatial ability user from more than seven hundred years ago? Over the years, he has had the greatest impact on the Abyss."

As for whether other spatial ability users had been to the Abyss, Gu Ran was unsure, so he said "the one with the greatest impact."

After all, half of the Central Temple has been destroyed, and Lilith has not mentioned any other space-age ability users with greater destructive power coming from the Abyss.

If it really was said by that spatial ability user more than 700 years ago, then it couldn't have been just something he said casually.

Such a powerful spatial ability user is definitely not an ordinary spatial ability user like Leng Feng, but a destined person like him.

Then the other party is definitely not just casually chatting about a useless scientific theory.

A shadow crossed the little girl's eyes; she seemed very reluctant to mention the spatial ability user from back then.

"Oh, so you brought me into this illusionary world just to tell me all this? Thank you," Gu Ran said with a smile.

The little girl's pretty face grew even colder: "Hmph, you're happy now? You really don't think this won't happen, do you? What if I told you that what just happened was in another 'bubble world'?"

"Perhaps, but what does it matter? Even if bubbles overlap, they won't be exactly the same, right?" Gu Ran retorted. "I haven't been to other bubble worlds, so for me, other bubble worlds are just completely unfamiliar worlds."

"No matter how similar they are, they are ultimately not the same world. If their world is shattered, I will feel regret, but there is nothing I can do, isn't that right?"

Gu Ran's understanding is that the so-called bubble world theory is about countless parallel worlds that intersect and become entangled.

These parallel worlds are very similar, and even show signs of overlapping and merging, but they are like bubbles, beautiful but short-lived.

The Bubble World Theory...

Gu Ran's body trembled.

Could it be that our world is actually a "bubble world" of another world?

Or perhaps some other parallel worlds are "bubble worlds" of our world?

However, Gu Ran quickly calmed down.

This is a conjecture that is difficult to prove.

However, the space ability user didn't call it the "bubble world conjecture" but the "bubble world theory." Does this mean that the other party already had evidence to prove it?

"Don't you think this is just an illusion, and that the people who are most important to you don't exist? Then just watch from the sidelines."

The small figure slowly disappeared from the spot once again.

The world has changed once again, this time to the city of Saint-Joel.

On a deserted street, a baby was crying.

Gu Ran stared blankly at the familiar street, and at the baby on the street.

"younger sister?"

309. If it weren't for Gu Ran, would Gu Qingqing have died as an infant? 4k

This is the scene where he met his sister.

Even after so many years, it is still etched in his mind, vivid in his memory.

In fact, his spatial abilities were awakened in a critical moment in order to save his sister.

If he didn't have a younger sister, he might have been able to awaken his powers later, but the probability would have been much lower.

After all, he valued his life a lot back then, and he was always very careful when he went out to find food.

Moreover, if he were alone, it would be easier for him to escape.
