Simulating the primordial era? That's way too extreme.

Chapter 383 The Truth of the World

The evidence is right there in front of you; you have no choice but to believe it.

[Through the wheelchair-bound man's gradual analysis, a worldview you've never known before slowly takes shape and becomes clear: your life may simply be a piece of text, written by a higher-dimensional being, and how He sees you is just as you see Lin Liu and the others.]

What you perceive as the real world may simply be the "real world" as He has created it. The world itself is not real; the reason you believe it to be real is merely because He wants you to believe it is real...

Seeing you squatting on the ground silently processing these insights that were so different from what you had come to know before, "Lin Liu" sighed.

"I've kept this hypothesis deep in my heart, and I've gradually used my own experiences to prove it."

"The conclusion of the argument is that you, this so-called higher-dimensional being, are actually just like us, a protagonist anchor point within an independent worldview. We, the protagonists, are all equal."

"The only difference is that our storylines are different. Our storyline is about the primordial world and dreams, while yours is..."

You look up, confused: "I have a storyline too?"

"Of course."

He said earnestly, "Your storyline started earlier than ours... or rather, your storyline actually began from the very beginning, at least from the moment you obtained the simulation game and started your first simulation."

"However, your storyline isn't independent. Your actual role is to initiate our story. Only when you make a choice will our story progress."

You paused, stunned: "Do I really have that much power?"

Am I not just a useless, ordinary person?

"Of course not."

He shook his head: "Theoretically speaking, the reason you were able to initiate and drive our storyline is not because you have great power, but because the supreme being behind you has great power... The choices you thought you made independently were actually manifestations of His will."

"You are His spokesperson!"

Hearing these things, you couldn't help but give a bitter smile: It turns out, even my will isn't my own...

However, this also explains why everything you did seemed to be within the system's predictions: you had clearly made many independent plot choices and strategies, and theoretically, the system couldn't possibly have calculated the consequences of your changes in thought, yet you still felt that the system could foresee everything, with each plot twist leading to the next.

Why is this? It can only be because your choice is a manifestation of His will...

"However, you don't need to worry too much."

[Lin Liu changed the subject, laughing, "Because you're not the only one who represents Him; actually, I am too, and all the main characters are. All our actions and choices are under His control."]

"So, since I am able to speak with you now, it means that I am now His mouthpiece, and He is using me as a vessel to convey these secrets to you."

"He specifically arranged for me to meet with you this time, in order to advance your storyline and also to comfort you... Hmm, maybe these words are what He asked me to say to you..."

【you:……】

【Godly gold! 】

[This divine golden hair makes you want to mutter a curse under your breath.]

[However, despite the complaints, you still agree with the underlying principle: since the worldview is "objective idealism," then all your thoughts and words, and those of the other person, are naturally a manifestation of His will... including your current thoughts...]

"Let's get back to the topic of you and the game system."

Lin Liu coughed and continued.

"You've always been curious about what the game system is. Now I can tell you definitively, it's you!"

"It is the manifestation of His will, and so are you; you two are one... however, you and it are responsible for different aspects."

"You are the visible hand that drives the plot forward, but as a mortal, you only have the power to give orders... while it is the carrier of the plot, the plot is presented by it, but it is a pure tool, and it can only function because of you."

"Each of you assumes a role, and together you constitute the embodiment of His will. You can create the story content of the simulation game, as well as make choices and advance the plot."

"That's why you feel like you can't escape the system's plan no matter what you choose, because what you can't escape isn't the system, but Him..."

These words made you even more bitter: "Is it really... impossible to escape? I see protagonists in novels always managing to escape their fate and break free from its control..."

[Lin Liu grinned: "How could they possibly escape? What they escaped was merely what the author wanted them to escape; the one who truly controls them has always been the author..."]

"This is determined by its very nature, and it's what He has always wanted to tell you... Just as a sage can never create something from nothing, just as the Bodhi Patriarch can never turn the false into the real, just as I can never turn a dream into reality."

"In fact, creating something from nothing, turning falsehood into reality, and transforming the illusory into the real are all the same. To achieve them, one must break through the barrier between idealism and materialism... but this is impossible."

"What we break through is always what He wants us to break through... What about those novel protagonists who claim to have broken free from fate?"

"The other shore? Reversing cause and effect? ​​Above the sacrificial path? The moment the author's pen moves, they become obedient! No matter how transcendent or awesome they are, in order to increase the traffic of the next book, they have to come and be the background or even the stepping stone for the new protagonist..."

【you:……】

[This...though the words are rough, the principle is sound...]

Lin Liu continued, "And your relationship with the system is like that of the monkey and the Bodhi Patriarch. They are projections of the will of the Nine Sages of the Primordial World, and you are projections of His will."

"Of course, they are also essentially projections of His will, because everything knowable in this worldview is His manifestation..."

You sighed softly, "That sounds so hopeless..."

He nodded: "Is it really that hopeless?"

"But you don't need to worry... Just as Jin Bing and I are the anchors of our respective worlds, and the monkey is the anchor of the dream, you are also the anchor of your own world, and the world revolves around you! What's there to worry about?"

You scoff: "What do you mean I'm being fawned over? I'm over twenty and I'm still stuck in my rented room playing games, having accomplished nothing..."

He smiled and shook his head: "No... Do you remember what I said before? These past twenty years have actually just been a setup by Him... Besides, hasn't He already given you invincible power?"

"With the gifts and techniques the game gave you, you could have already overturned the world order according to your own wishes. It's just that... you're essentially a kind person, like us, and you don't want to bring disaster to the world."

【this……】

[You're a bit speechless: Indeed, if we're really talking about it, I could have single-handedly destroyed the entire world long ago; not eating beef is just a piece of cake...]

The reason you haven't done this is simply because you're unwilling, not because He hasn't given you the ability.

[But you still stubbornly insist: "So what? Like you said, my thoughts are His thoughts. It's He who won't let me destroy the world, not that I don't want to... What if I were a lunatic?"]

"No, you wouldn't do that."

He simply smiled and shook his head.

[This touches your heart: Did Prisoner Liu see through my inherently kind nature?]

Unexpectedly, he laughed and said, "Because you don't have an inherent personality; you've always been the embodiment of His will!"

【you:……】

This conversation is impossible!

You were furious, but just as you were getting angry, he said earnestly, "Because you are His incarnation, His kindness is naturally your kindness. You and Him are truly one, so why force a separation? You are inherently a good person; there has never been any dispute about that."

You finally let out a sigh!

After joking with you for a while, "Lin Liu" continued, "Also, regarding the answer to the origin of the world, He has been trying his best to hint at it to you... What I want to talk about is the plot of these few chapters."

"Jin Bing's storyline tells you information about the protagonist: the protagonist is the foundation of the world, and everything revolves around the protagonist."

"Xue Xuan's storyline tells you about the anchor point: as long as the anchor point exists, the world exists; when the anchor point dies, the world dies."

"My storyline reveals the essence of anchor points: they are projections of the will of a higher-dimensional being, representing His will."

"The information from these chapters, when combined, forms a complete understanding of the protagonist's anchor points. Once you discover these, you can deduce your own essence from them..."

You frowned: "But I didn't deduce any of this?"

He gave a polite smile: "Precisely because you're slow to react... isn't that why He specifically sent me to tell you?"

【you:……】

Okay! I guess I'm slow to react, alright?

You sighed helplessly: "So, what exactly does He expect me to do after going through all this trouble to tell me this?"

Several chapters are hinting at this, but what exactly does He mean?

【"have no idea."】

Lin Liu shrugged: "After all, no matter how well I summarize, I'm still just the protagonist of one chapter, so the information is naturally incomplete..."

"But you, you're the boss of us. Although we're on equal footing, you've always acted as His sole representative, so in a sense, your authority and access to information are higher and broader than ours."

"You definitely know information that we can't access, you just haven't paid attention to it. Now I've given you a starting point; if you think about it further, maybe you'll..."

"No! It's certain that we'll know His ultimate goal!"

[Lin Liu extends his fist encouragingly: "Just for the sake of the main characters, okay? Use the final summary on all the information!"]

[Prison Chief, we're counting on you!]

【you:……】
