After some time, Qin Bai appeared in front of the ice tree. Looking at the ice tree, which was even more exaggerated than he remembered, he said, "I'm here. What do you want with me?"
Unexpectedly, the ice tree suddenly said something that shocked Qin Bai.
"Qin Bai, do you still remember what we promised each other?"
What was agreed upon?
Qin Bai naturally remembered this matter; although it was called an agreement, it was actually a transaction.
That is, the Ice Tree lets them enter the dungeon, and after they return alive, they use the power obtained from the dungeon to fight the Night Demon!
The problem is, this is something that actually happened, so why would the ice tree in front of us know about it?
And judging from the appearance, Ice Tree seems to know him.
Qin Bai suddenly realized a possibility: "You've seen me in this world?"
If the predecessor of this instance world was also a real world, then there was also a Qin Bai in that world.
So, did Qin Bai, like him, go to the refuge and encounter the Ice Tree?
Qin Bai also made a promise with Bing Shu: to enter the dungeon, become stronger, and then fight the Night Demon after emerging.
But he didn't see his other self here, so it's very likely that...
Qin Bai died in that instance.
"As expected, you still remember. It seems that the development back then was not much different."
The ice tree laughed.
"Back then, you also led a group of people into the instance, but shortly after you entered, the instance disappeared, which means you failed completely and all of you died inside the instance."
"I had no choice but to fight the Night Demon alone. In the end, the Night Demon left, but I was seriously injured."
"Later, it took me more than a year to gradually recover and get to where I am today. I thought I would live on forever, but I never expected that my world no longer exists."
Ice Tree's voice was somewhat melancholy. After all, if this were a sentient being and knew that it was actually just a false existence, it would probably collapse.
The fact that Bing Shu could say it so calmly was enough to surprise Qin Bai.
"Ice Tree, you didn't call me here just to catch up, did you?"
Qin Bai asked.
"Of course not. What I really want to say is that we are not enemies, but rather divided into two opposing sides, and the world you live in is just..."
At this point, the ice tree suddenly stopped.
"I'm sorry, I'm restricted and can't say more, but when you return to reality, be careful. An enemy isn't necessarily an enemy, and a friend isn't necessarily a friend."
"By the way, I have an important piece of information for you. To deal with the Night Demon, you must make it manifest. Only in this way can you harm the Night Demon, as its true form is not powerful."
After he finished speaking, the ice tree shattered, and a large number of light orbs scattered around, including a red one.
Qin Bai picked up the red ball of light, his expression complex.
From the beginning, Ice Tree did not attack him. Later, under the threat of Night Demon, it was even willing to open the dungeon and let them go in to try.
It can be said that although the Ice Tree is not human, it is not Qin Bai's enemy either.
At this moment, Emperor Yan walked over.
"Hey bro, do you feel like the more you know, the more confused you get?"
Emperor Yan said with a smile.
Qin Bai nodded. He was indeed a little confused after seeing the ice tree in this world.
He even felt that he had not truly been reborn into his original world, but rather had traveled to a parallel world and replaced his original self.
At one point, he even doubted that he had only obtained a portion of the memories of the future.
But no matter which one it was, it all struck him as strange; it seemed the world wasn't just one place.
In the eyes of the people in this world, their world is reality, but in Qin Bai's eyes, he clearly knows that this is a dungeon.
So, in some people's eyes, is what they call the real world just a copy of what others see?
Knowing too much might actually confuse him.
“That’s right. It’s not just you; we’re confused too. After all, we’re human, not machines.”
"Ever since we found out this was a dungeon, we old guys have often gotten together to discuss a lot of things. After all, we're all max level, so we know a lot, and when we combine our knowledge, we get a lot of answers."
"We've mentioned before that the concept of reality is something we all believe is the time and place we are in. But is this reality really determined by ourselves?"
"For example, this place is three years from now, which is the future, relative to your time. But in our eyes, this is the present, while your time is the past."
"Bai Ya said that we all failed. With your intelligence, you should understand what that means, so..."
"Keep getting stronger. When you're strong enough that no one can beat you, you'll know everything."
Emperor Yan patted Qin Bai on the shoulder and went to help the others collect the orbs of light on the ground.
These are things they look down on, but they are valuable to others.
Qin Bai could certainly guess the meaning behind Yan Di's words. They had failed simply because they had encountered an insurmountable situation, perhaps an enemy, or perhaps some kind of extreme environment, and in the end, everyone was doomed.
If everyone is dead, doesn't that mean we've failed?
If reality were to unfold in the same way three years from now, then he would have to become stronger, at least stronger than he is now.
"Wait, since we entered the instance, no quests have appeared. Does this mean we have to hold out until the very end before we can leave the instance?"
"Even the original people here have all been wiped out. Can we really hold on? No wonder I failed in that other world. There's no way out here."
Qin Bai immediately realized that the difficulty of this instance was beyond his imagination.
If a powerful boss, stronger than any human being could withstand, were to appear later, then even he might not be able to stop it.
Or, in the future, even more extreme low-temperature environments may emerge, with temperatures reaching over two hundred degrees below zero, making it impossible for humans to survive.
"Forget it, there's no use thinking about it so much. Let's focus on improving our strength."
Qin Bai shook his head and went back to continue researching the skills of those with superpowers.
During this time, Gu Lang and the others finally reached the maximum level, since their professions and skills were already available.
After reaching the maximum level, their strength increased by leaps and bounds.
Now each of them can stand on their own.
"Old Qin, we won't hold you back anymore."
This was the first thing Gu Lang said to Qin Bai.
During this time, they have been frantically improving their strength, all in order to be able to stand by Qin Bai's side.
Instead of Qin Bai walking ahead, they could only watch from behind.
"Most of the recent bosses are dead. I estimate that the final moment will arrive soon. Let's wait together."
