The Villain's Style Suddenly Changed, and the Male Lead's Character Also Went Askew

What should you do if you transmigrate into a book? What if you transmigrate and become the villain? The answer is actually simple: either run away quickly or cling tightly to the male lead's t...

Chapter 173 The Interplay of Reality and Illusion

Yin Ming felt a little dazed.

Therefore, according to the diary, the author did not ultimately transform into the sea; it was all a fabrication by the mysterious person to deceive him and make him commit suicide.

But why did Liu Ying say before that the original author's ending was that he turned into the sea?

Was Liu Ying also deceived by that mysterious person?

But the author of the original work didn't tell Liu Ying the truth. And the mysterious person's only target was the author of the original work. Logically speaking, he wouldn't have bothered Liu Ying. It seems that only the author of the original work knew about the existence of the mysterious person.

Moreover, if the mysterious person had really contacted Liuying, Liuying would definitely not be completely unaware of the matter and would not remain silent about it.

Lingyao lowered his eyes and pondered quietly for a moment before speaking: "What is recorded in the diary should all be true. These are words written by the Ancestral Dragon himself, and there is no way to fake them."

"As for Liuying... perhaps her memories have also been altered."

Yin Ming: ……!

How could he forget the methods those people used!

Yes, even the deaths of ninety-one peak ninth-realm cultivators could be easily overshadowed, let alone just the original author.

In other words, the death of the main character in the original work was also orchestrated by that group of people?!

This is terrifying! I never imagined that group of people existed in ancient times and even interfered in the affairs of the original author... It seems that their identities are indeed extraordinary.

Thinking of the diary entry mentioning that the mysterious person couldn't tolerate the existence of the original author, Yin Ming couldn't help but recall his previous guesses—

Could those people really be some mysterious organization guarding the continent of gods and demons?!

When they discovered that the plot development did not conform to the original setting, they followed the clues and found that the original author was the culprit who caused the plot to change.

To prevent the plot from falling apart further, they simply eliminated the original author and then altered everyone's memories of the original author, putting everything back on track...

If everything is really as Yin Ming thinks, then it's truly terrifying.

But Yin Ming couldn't help but think that way... otherwise, how could he explain this mysterious organization that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years?

Yin Ming was even considering whether he should continue to wade into these muddy waters—if he eagerly went along and those people discovered that he was also a transmigrator, wouldn't he be wiped out like the original author?!

He must be crazy to walk right into someone's hands and die!

However... it seems we can't be so sure...

So far, Yin Ming has changed quite a bit of the plot. If there really was such a mysterious organization that couldn't tolerate transmigrators, he should have been killed long ago...

Forget it, I shouldn't scare myself unnecessarily. Let's take it one step at a time; if all else fails, there's always Lingyao.

The first law of novels—no one can beat the male protagonist! With Ling Yao as his shield, Yin Ming is not afraid at all.

Envious, aren't you? That's the confidence that comes from having the male lead as your backer!

After thinking for a moment, Yin Ming decided to hand over a portion of the translated diary to Liu Ying.

Yes, it's the part where the original author lived with her.

Showing her these things was simply to make her understand the author's feelings for her, and to let her know that her waiting was not in vain.

Yin Ming was also incredibly relieved that Liu Ying hadn't been involved in the translation process; otherwise, if she had seen the truth, he couldn't imagine how devastated she would have been.

Even now, she still waits for the person she longs for to return, but if she knew that no matter how much she yearns, no matter how far she crosses the sea and truly develops sentience, what she will receive will not be the figure from her memories...

This is far too cruel to her.

Since she still hasn't forgotten the original author after all these years, Yin Ming chooses to continue this well-intentioned lie.

When falsehood is taken for truth, even truth becomes falsehood; illusion and reality give rise to each other, and it's rare to be truly oblivious...

Consider it a return to familiar places, a revisit to old dreams.
