Online game: Only I can see the hidden information

Inside the villa, the two sat on separate sofas, their expressions grave.

"Young man, please explain Elder Lan's conjecture in more detail, elaborate on it."

High Emotional Intelligence: Let's elaborate.

Low emotional intelligence: Didn't quite understand

That's right.

Zhao Qian knew this wasn't something that could be explained in a few words, so he patiently explained...

"This matter concerns my boss's background, so Fourth Brother must keep it a secret."

origin?

Ye Bai's lips curled up slightly.

I'm a time traveler, did you see me bragging?!

Could Third Brother's background be even more impressive than that of a time traveler?

Bring it on!

Zhao Qian casually scattered a handful of eternal gold coins, and the surrounding space was shielded by the eternal sea.

After doing all this, Zhao Qian finally spoke again.

"One hundred years ago, the Tower of Eternity descended..."

Upon hearing this opening remark, Ye Bai knew that things were not simple!

The origins of the third brother actually date back a hundred years.

Hopefully, this has nothing to do with Ninth Master, the inventor of history...

"After the Eternal Tower descended, the human race organized the first exploration team, and Elder Lan was among them."

Zhao Qian hesitated for a moment, but still mustered up the courage to ask.

"Fourth Brother, do you know who's in the exploration team?"

"All I know is that Nightmare and Old Man Lan are involved; I know nothing else."

Ye Bai shook his head and said bluntly,

"Even if he knew, I reckon Ninth Master made up a lot of things."

Those who know, know. As for Ninth Master's alteration of history, those who know, know.

At the same time, the Eye of Insight can provide very little information directly related to the Eternal Tower.

It's convenient to use when going through customs.

But when it involves human secrets, especially those related to the strongest beings, it becomes even more contemptible.

Upon hearing Ye Bai's reply, Zhao Qian visibly relaxed and continued,

"The reason why Professor Lan was in the exploration team was because he was a rising star in the scientific community at the time, with profound attainments in physics and astronomy. It was the expectation of everyone to lead the exploration team."

However, the exploration team did not encounter Nightmare at the beginning.

The exploration team led by Elder Lan tried various methods but could not enter the Eternal Tower, until Nightmare broke into the vicinity of the Eternal Tower...

Ye Bai frowned slightly.

"So, the Nightmare activated the Eternal Tower?"

"Not only that."

Zhao Qian's expression was solemn.

"To be precise, only Nightmares can enter the Eternal Tower. After a period of time, we will be able to enter as well."

Zhao Qian had no idea what exactly happened during that time.

The only certainty is that the Nightmare played a crucial role in making the Eternal Tower open to everyone.

Ye Bai raised his hand to interrupt, and asked in confusion,

"Wait, weren't we talking about Third Brother? What does this have to do with the Eternal Tower?"

Zhao Qian's voice was slightly bitter.

"That's the problem. My boss only 'came' into this world after the Tower of Eternity appeared."

Ye Bai: ? ? ?

"You mean...time travel?"

Ye Bai's voice was very calm, without any abnormality.

Oh no, could Third Brother also be a despicable outsider?

Ye Bai once read a poorly written online novel where several powerful figures, after cultivating to the end, discovered that they were all transmigrators, and even related by blood.

I hope this melodramatic plot doesn't happen to me.

"Huh? What time travel?"

Zhao Qian looked confused, not understanding what Ye Bai was saying.

The prevailing theory is that my boss is an alien, or, in Chinese parlance, a celestial being from outer space, a visitor from beyond?

Ye Bai was even more puzzled.

"How did this get involved with aliens again?"

The more you talk about it, the more confused you get.

Zhao Qian had no choice but to sort it out again.

My boss wasn't originally on Earth.

A hundred years ago, the Eternal Tower appeared, and my boss suddenly appeared on Earth.

After being found by a Taoist priest, my boss lived in the Taoist temple and usually helped people with fortune telling and interpreting divination slips.

Thirty-six years ago, when his lifespan was nearing its end, he was forced to awaken his talent, enter the Eternal Tower, and become the third strongest human.

Listening to his third brother's biography, Ye Bai fell silent.

People are more mad than people.

How can Xiaoyao be so carefree?

Why is Shura so ____?

Ye Bai still found blind spots.

"Wait a minute, let's not talk about whether Third Brother is an alien or not."

"He's a grown man, appearing on Earth, and nobody noticed anything was wrong?"

According to Zhao Qian, Xiaoyao made his first appearance on Blue Star.

He's at least a teenager, and probably not far from the Tower of Eternity.

Did no one notice Xiaoyao's extraordinary nature?

"Indeed, someone discovered it, Xue Jiu."

Zhao Qian said helplessly.

"Xue Jiu talked to my boss once, and it seems he even had his fortune told."

Ultimately, I asked Nightmare to intervene and cover up all traces of my boss, allowing him to live in seclusion in a Taoist temple for over sixty years.

That makes sense.

Ye Bai continued to ask,

"What was Third Brother doing while he was in seclusion?"

"Think about the problem; this problem is the key."

Without Zhao Qian repeating it, Ye Bai already knew it was the same question: "The Butterfly Dream of Freedom and Dreams of Freedom."

At this point, Zhao Qian's expression became particularly serious.

"My boss has been thinking about that butterfly in the problem, and it's not an ordinary butterfly."

In layman's terms, my boss believes that the butterfly possesses the power to create the world and is the embodiment of the world's origin.

"It's because of this butterfly that my boss is so powerful."

powerful?

Ye Bai shook his head upon hearing this.

These two words are insufficient to describe the terror of Xiaoyao.

Zhao Qian paused for a moment, then continued,

"If my boss believes that it is 'Butterfly Dream of Freedom,' then the existence of 'Freedom' is just a dream, and the butterfly is the real thing. It will return to its original state and become the origin of the world again."

With Xiaoyao no longer existing, Ye Bai certainly couldn't accept this outcome.

Ye Bai quickly pressed for an answer.

"What about the other scenario?"

"If my boss believes it is the 'Dream of the Butterfly,' then my boss will wake up as if from a dream and become an ordinary person again, and the butterfly in his dream will vanish into thin air."

"hiss--"

Upon hearing this, Ye Bai gasped.

"Are you kidding me? This is a death trap no matter which option you choose!"

Judging from the current trend, Xiaoyao is undoubtedly more inclined towards the [Xiaoyao Dream Butterfly] option.

Of course, Shura deserves a lot of credit for this!

But the problem is,

Once Xiaoyao has determined the answer...

For Xiaoyao, the dream was over, and the butterfly was gone.

The power gained from the butterfly naturally disappeared!

simply put:

The more Xiaoyao accepts that he is a butterfly, the stronger he will become!

The more Xiaoyao identifies himself as Xiaoyao, the weaker he becomes!

The two sides of the tug-of-war have been deadlocked for the past century.

"This is still the best-case scenario. What if these forces don't disappear, but instead fall out of my boss's control..."

Zhao Qian sighed and said helplessly.

"The consequences would be unimaginable!"

Ye Bai calmly picked up his teacup and took a sip.

"No problem, don't panic."

He tried to process this explosive information, only to find that he simply couldn't!

Ye Bai could only talk to himself.

"It's alright, these are all Elder Lan's conjectures. No one is perfect, and Elder Lan can also make mistakes..."

Now we can only hope that Professor Lan's theory is complete fabrication and has zero credibility.

Fourth Brother.

Zhao Qian's face was extremely pale, and he added in a low voice,

"These conjectures of Mr. Lan were analyzed for him by my boss."
