Su Ping did not stop, but continued forward, away from this place.

The fighting and tremors behind him grew fainter and fainter until they could no longer be heard. Su Ping didn't know when Consul Tan would take him away. Since the other party's consciousness was shattered, he should be able to sense it. If his body was taken out of the Sea of ​​Illusion, his consciousness would also be able to escape from the Sea of ​​Illusion.

"Something's not right this time. Didn't the Loulan family detect it beforehand? I heard that the Federation's most advanced AI is monitoring the Sea of ​​Illusion, and it would issue an early warning if there were any anomalies..."

Su Ping's eyes flickered. At this moment, he suddenly noticed that the color of the thick fog around him was a little off, slightly black, as if it had been stained with ink.

"Young friend, the filth is approaching; come this way."

At this moment, the phantom of a large tree appeared in front, and the old man under the tree also appeared in front, waving to Su Ping.

Before Su Ping could answer, Joanna appeared beside the old man, watching him quietly with a hint of anxiety in her eyes.

Su Ping's expression changed slightly, and without saying a word, he turned and left.

"Young friend, are you really unwilling to believe us?"

The old man called out from behind.

Su Ping didn't turn around. Just then, a magnificent throne appeared before him. On the throne sat a towering, majestic figure, surrounded by white bones. The figure seemed to look down on everything, his entire body made of bones, gazing down at Su Ping: "I didn't want to appear, but I didn't expect you to be so stubborn. You can't even tell the difference between truth and falsehood?"

Su Ping's pupils contracted slightly. He was all too familiar with the skeletons and the throne before him. It was the first time he entered the Chaotic Necromancer Realm after obtaining the system, when he encountered a terrifying king. The blood spirit crystals that he fed to the little skeleton were taken from the feet of this king.

Trust us, we won't hurt you.

Beside the skeleton king, a young man appeared. His aura wasn't as terrifying, but his face was familiar. He was none other than the young mentor that Su Ping had sought instruction from in the Heavenly Dao Academy of the Primordial God Realm.

"If you don't trust them, don't you trust my Heavenly Dao Academy? If we wanted to harm you, you would be dead long ago!"

A slightly authoritative voice rang out, and a majestic phantom appeared behind the youth, sitting on equal footing with the terrifying monarch, its aura in no way inferior.

Su Ping's expression changed. These figures he had seen in the cultivation world could not possibly appear here, but the illusions before him were too real. Even the aura they exuded made Su Ping's hair stand on end, giving him the feeling of facing their true forms directly.

"How could my subconscious hold so many people? We've only met once. If you really wanted to bewitch me, you should have brought my parents and that naughty guy, or let Little Skeleton and the others show themselves..." Su Ping's expression changed, but he didn't reply. He turned around again and left in the other direction.

"So this is the most outstanding successor? Ha!"

"We've waited here for billions of years, hoping for a glimmer of hope, but the result is utterly disappointing!"

As Su Ping turned around, the Bone King behind him, along with some terrifying, blurry figures, all spoke in icy voices. Some expressed extreme disappointment, while others shook their heads and sighed.

Su Ping did not turn around, but continued to walk forward.

At this moment, the surrounding thick fog suddenly surged, and then, as if impacted, all the fog surged and pushed forward like waves.

Caught off guard, Su Ping tried to resist, but the thick fog was like a giant wall that crashed into him. Su Ping immediately felt suffocated, as if he had fallen into the deep sea, surrounded by dark fog, and his body was submerged.

Deep within the thick fog, Su Ping heard sharp, piercing roars, like the screams of some creature.

Su Ping struggled desperately, trying to push aside the thick fog around him, but the fog grew thicker and thicker. As it churned, he could occasionally see some hideous shadows sweeping through the fog, which made his scalp tingle.

That hoarse, insect-like squeaking sound gradually emerged around me, getting closer and closer.

Su Ping's consciousness condensed like a sword, and he suddenly swept it out, slashing into the black mist. It seemed to have struck something, and a sharp cry suddenly rang out. But the next moment, the cry seemed to be enraged, the mist surged rapidly, and a giant shadow pounced towards Su Ping.

Su Ping saw a hideous maw pushing aside the thick fog, about to swallow him whole.

He hurriedly condensed his consciousness sword again and slashed at the giant mouth.

The giant mouth reacted extremely quickly, biting down hard and catching the sword of consciousness in its jaws before shattering it in one gulp.

Just as his body was about to be hit, Su Ping suddenly felt a cool sensation on his wrist. A cool and soft hand grabbed his wrist, and his body suddenly felt lighter as he was pulled aside, avoiding the impact of the strange mouth. Then, Su Ping felt his body being dragged by the owner of that hand, rushing in one direction.

"Is it Consul Tan?" Su Ping was taken aback. He could tell from the touch that it was a woman's hand.

The two moved forward at a very fast pace, the thick fog slapping against their faces. Su Ping didn't know why Consul Tan was here, or even if the other person was Consul Tan, but since he had been saved from that strange mouth, he probably meant no harm.

The thick fog pushed in from behind like a jet of air. Su Ping felt the insect-like hissing behind him. He was pulled and flew away quickly. Before long, the hissing was gradually shaken off, and the thick fog around him swept past his body. Su Ping felt that he was moving at an unimaginable speed.

After a long while, the figure in front gradually came to a stop.

The rapidly swirling fog around them gradually dissipated, and Su Ping quickly thanked him, asking uncertainly, "Was that Consul Tan?"

After a while, the mist in front of Su Ping churned and gradually dissipated, revealing a stunning profile with a cascade of golden hair—it was Joanna.

Su Ping was taken aback, somewhat astonished, and then felt a chill run down his spine.

"You don't need to be afraid."

Just then, a gentle voice came from behind Joanna.

As the thick fog gradually dissipated, figures emerged, all of them golden-haired deities. In the center stood an enormous old woman, clad in an extremely luxurious divine robe that cascaded down like a phoenix tail. The deities standing beside her were only the size of a palm, allowing Su Ping to clearly see every wrinkle on the old woman's face.

"Is this the successor?"

"So weak, that can't be right!"

"It doesn't matter if you're weak now, just don't forget that person exists."

The many gods around the old woman were whispering among themselves.

Su Ping was somewhat surprised and doubtful. Was what he was seeing an illusion, or was it real?

"Who exactly are you?" Su Ping asked, staring at Joanna in front of him.

Joanna gazed at him, her eyes gradually softening. Su Ping had never seen such an expression on Joanna's face before. Could it be some kind of deep-seated desire within him? But the touch on his wrist was real!

Could it be that the illusion here is so real that he can no longer distinguish between reality and illusion?

However, Su Ping was certain of one thing: Joanna was definitely inside the shop and could not possibly be here.

Therefore, everything before our eyes can only be an illusion.

As for why he could be touched, Su Ping couldn't figure it out either. There was only one explanation: his senses had also been clouded by the illusion.

Some hallucinations can cause pain or even death. When brain death occurs in a hallucination, brain death also occurs in reality because the brain determines that it is dead, and therefore bodily functions will rapidly fail and cease.

"If this is an illusion, why are these people in my consciousness? Was the fight between the black ghoul and the mysterious youth real?"

Su Ping began to doubt everything that had happened.

The old woman looked at Su Ping gently and said, "Child, don't be afraid. This is a safe zone. The surrounding demons dare not approach. Once the period of fluctuation is over, you can go back. We will help you capture some demons for you to absorb. You just need to cultivate here in peace."

Su Ping watched coldly without responding.

Although the old woman before them was lifelike, as an illusion, these words were utterly unconvincing.

"Is this the terror of the Sea of ​​Illusion? No wonder even the Supreme Being is unwilling to venture into it easily, and the Federation has yet to explore it." Su Ping's eyes flashed.

It's important to understand that the Federation has an enormous population, with countless death row inmates in every small star system. Even using these death row inmates as stepping stones would be enough to explore an unknown territory. Moreover, the Federation also has an army and countless researchers. It's simply unbelievable that they haven't been able to conquer the Sea of ​​Illusion after spending countless years.

"Stay true to yourself, for all else is meaningless."

Su Ping calmed down and stopped being nervous. He slowly focused his thoughts and concentrated them in his mind.

After a long while, the surrounding thick fog began to fluctuate, and several divine figures appeared, dragging two demon spirits in their hands.

Su Ping slowly opened his eyes, looking at the still extremely realistic gods in front of him, and Joanna standing in front of him. He took a deep breath and thought of many things in an instant.

What is true? What is false?

It's obviously virtual, yet it can evoke a real feeling.

Some things that are clearly real are like a mirage, forever out of reach.

"Illusory...illusory..."

"Are all of these just figments of my imagination?"

Staring at the two demon corpses lying in front of him, Su Ping fell silent. If something illusory is so realistic that it is close to reality and can bring real feelings, is it still considered illusory?

How do we distinguish between the real and the unreal?

Is what truly exists necessarily true?

Does this existence exist in one's own subjective feelings, or in the objective facts of the universe?

If it exists in one's own subjective feelings, then everything before one's eyes is real!

If something exists objectively in the universe, then is the universe real? How can one be certain whether this universe is real or not? Is it based on one's own subjective feelings, or subjective imagination?

Su Ping lowered his head, staring at the two corpses for a long time without saying a word, seemingly lost in thought.

The surrounding gods watched him quietly, neither urging nor disturbing him.

for a long time.

for a long time.

Su Ping didn't know how much time had passed. His thoughts kept digging deeper and deeper, and he gradually touched upon a wonderful realm, a feeling that was like enlightenment.

"Illusion is also reality; illusion is reality, and reality is illusion."

"The reflection in the water may seem illusory, but it is a real reflection; it exists as a 'scene' rather than an object..."

"If there is another world beyond the real world, that is the virtual world!"

"A reflection of the world..."

Suddenly, Su Ping seemed to understand something; he seemed to have found the direction to condense the second small world!

The Void Realm!

A world built on illusion!

Rumble!

In the instant Su Ping's thoughts became clear, he felt his consciousness suddenly vibrate. Immediately afterward, he felt his whole body become burning hot. This feeling was very unreal, as if there was a membrane between them. He could feel the changes happening in his body, but it seemed as if there was something between them.

"All is illusion, all is reality..."

Su Ping's eyes became clearer and more acute. Looking at the two corpses on the ground, he raised his hand and grabbed them. A black hole-like vortex appeared in his palm, sucking the corpses into it. After being crushed, the corpses turned into a large amount of energy that flowed into his body. Su Ping could feel his senses were truly improving.

"So what if what I see is all an illusion? You can die in an illusion, and you can be reborn in an illusion!"

"If illusions can deceive my body and kill it, they can also deceive my body and grant it immortality!"

"However, the body's drive requires real energy. While the energy from this illusion can deceive consciousness, for the body to truly improve, real energy is needed. This energy cannot be obtained from the illusion, so where does it come from? The universe? Or... from this sea of ​​illusion?"

In a daze, Su Ping seemed to feel that he had touched the true face of the Sea of ​​Illusion.

Perhaps, this sea of ​​illusion is everywhere in the universe, but it is imperceptible by ordinary means.

Just as people couldn't detect the components of oxygen before certain instruments were invented, humans have lived in oxygen, no matter how primitive or ignorant the era.

Just because you can't see or perceive something doesn't mean it doesn't exist!

"Is this the true energy hidden within the Sea of ​​Illusion?" Su Ping's eyes flashed.

The only way to verify his idea is to leave the sea of ​​illusion.

Su Ping looked at the gods before him and asked, "Are there any demons or spirits?"

The old woman's eyes gleamed, and she smiled broadly, nodding repeatedly and saying, "Yes, yes, I have plenty! You few, go and catch some more, the bigger ones are fine too!"

"it is good."

Several gods, whose auras were extremely restrained, turned and left.

The aura emanating from these gods surpassed that of those who had been granted godhood. Su Ping felt that they were somewhat similar to his master, or even more terrifying.

"You must know the way out, right?" Su Ping said with a smile, as if he had suddenly lost his fear.

The old woman smiled and said, "Of course, if you want to leave, we will escort you away at any time. With your current cultivation level, arriving here ahead of time is indeed somewhat dangerous. Fortunately, this is the outer edge of the collapsed zone, and those guys didn't notice you, otherwise..."

"Those guys?"

Even though she knew the other person was an illusion, Su Ping still chatted with a smile.

"It's best if you don't know about them right now, otherwise they might easily sense it. Even just mentioning their names will draw their attention..."

The old woman said softly.

Su Ping smiled gently and didn't press the matter further. In his view, these were all things that existed in his subconscious, although he didn't know why this strange old woman and the large group of unfamiliar gods had appeared before him.
