The world that appeared in his mind was not some kind of [illusory realm]...
Instead, it is a brain domain world that was forcibly created by "Zhang San" and belongs to "Zhang San" as the master of all things!
The entire brain world, which was originally empty, began to deduce the existence of all races with a longevity fruit as its seed!
Even under this natural deduction, races have developed in the world of the brain!
The immortal race, the undead race...
The river of time, the flow of destiny...
Tumorworm...
And the various races that gradually emerged under the influence of the river of time and the flow of fate!
Xin Yu had never heard of these races before.
But they seem to have formed the earliest prototype of the entire stage of all races!
After perceiving this wondrous world within the brain, Xin Yu was even more shocked by what—
Logically speaking, no matter how he felt that he and the "Zhang San" opposite him had resonated as if they were one, he should have been able to achieve this.
However, in essence, the two should only be "equal" to each other, perfectly replicated one to one, rather than being combined into one.
In other words, everything should be in duplicate for both of them.
But the problem is...
Xin Yu actually sensed it—
That wondrous world of the brain—there's only one!
In other words...
This replica of Zhang San shares the same mental world as the original Zhang San!
This shared mental world seems to have created another strange connection between the two, who already resonated with each other.
And this strange connection...
And the exploration of this world of the brain.
As if struck by something, Xin Yu suddenly caught a crazy idea in the sparks that flew out of his mind!
That feeling was too peculiar.
So much so that he couldn't even be sure...
What exactly struck him that gave him this crazy idea?
Or was Jiang Yi struck by something that gave rise to this crazy idea, and then transmitted it to him through [Soul Resonance]?
Unfortunately, Xin Yu was not human.
Otherwise, he would have a more precise description of this strange feeling...
That is... Zhuangzi's dream of a butterfly!
Yes, this peculiar feeling is like Zhuangzi waking from a dream, unsure whether he is Zhuangzi or a butterfly.
At this moment, Xin Yu couldn't even tell whether the myriad thoughts surging through his mind originated from himself or from Jiang Yi.
But these things may not be important.
The important thing is...
In this state of "soul resonance," Xin Yu was unsure whether it was voluntary or a result of being resonated with.
He made his decision almost without hesitation—
Go try that crazy idea!
Thus, the two identical "Zhang San" on the "battle to the death" battlefield presented the audience with a long standoff.
This also caught the attention of some astute viewers—
The two sides in the standoff seemed to have reached some kind of consensus, forming their own world.
These astute viewers naturally guessed that this situation might be related to Zhang San's SS-level talent, [Soul Resonance].
But they could never know the world of the mind that exists within "Zhang San's" head...
Under the gaze of many, some deep in thought, others inquisitive.
The two Zhang Sans stared at each other for a long time.
Some onlookers secretly speculated: "If this standoff continues, Xin Yu's four-dimensional attributes will probably be boosted to an off-the-charts level, right?"
"I can understand Xin Yu dragging things out, but why doesn't Jiang Yi care about time either?"
"What on earth are these two 'Zhang San' doing?!"
Just as the doubts in the minds of the onlookers reached their peak.
They suddenly noticed that the figures of the two "Zhang San"s facing each other seemed to be inexplicably blurring!
Then, the two figures, half-illusory and half-real, began to flicker alternately!
When Zhang San on the left disappears, Zhang San on the right still exists;
When Zhang San on the right disappears, Zhang San on the left still exists.
And as the alternating flashing speed increases...
Two Zhang Sans, appearing and disappearing intermittently, seemed to be the same Zhang San, jumping back and forth between those two points!
This bizarre scene left the audience completely dumbfounded!
"Wait a minute? What are they doing? Are they putting on a circus act or just messing with us?"
"Could this be a higher level of [Soul Resonance]... Physical Resonance?"
"Speaking of these two 'Zhang San's'... could they be going to merge into one?!"
"Hiss... If they truly merge into one, then who should be declared the winner of this 'fight to the death'?"
"Who should win? Let's rule that Zhang San wins!"
"Nonsense! I don't know that Zhang San won? The question is, should the Zhang San who ultimately merges into one belong to the guardian camp or the invading camp? In other words, did Xin Yu merge with Jiang Yi, or did Jiang Yi merge with Xin Yu?"
"It must be that Jiang Yi merged with Xin Yu, right? After all, the identity of 'Zhang San' originally belonged to Jiang Yi!"
"That's hard to say! You all saw how overpowered Xin Yu's 'Hidden Card is Zhang San' license card is! Maybe with the effect of 'Hidden Card is Zhang San,' Xin Yu is the one and only authentic 'Zhang San' destined for the world?"
"I also think that the licensing effect of the [Hidden Card is Zhang San] is just too overpowered! Jiang Yin's ability to have the identity of 'Zhang San' is simply because he drew a player named 'Zhang San' from the [Identity Card], or even because he used the [Name Change Card] to change his name to 'Zhang San'... His 'Zhang San' is just a name! But Xin Yu's 'Zhang San' is the licensing identity granted to him by the licensing card!"
"No? I admit that the 'bottom line is Zhang San' is incredibly powerful, and what you said makes a lot of sense... But the two 'Zhang San's' that we see with our naked eyes that seem to be merging... he is definitely Jiang Yi's identity! And Xin Yu is just using the licensing card to replicate this identity! Anyway, I still think that even if the two are to merge, it can only be Jiang Yi merging with Xin Yu!"
For a time, the players watching the show had differing opinions on who should be merged with whom, and opinions were varied.
The Curse Clan players, of course, desperately hoped that Xin Yu would ultimately fuse with Jiang Yi...
However, what these onlookers didn't know was...
The two "Zhang San"s are not merging.
Instead, they are trying to conduct an experiment similar to "lifting oneself up"!
Jiang Yi had experimented with it as early as the very beginning of opening up the "Brain Domain World".
He can see everything in the entire brain world through his consciousness, as if he has a God's-eye view.
He could also try to place external entities into the mental world.
However, he himself, in any way, could not enter the mental world he had constructed...
It's like a person who can sense their entire body but cannot lift themselves up.
But at this moment, Zhang San can lift Zhang San up.
So Jiang Yi wanted to know—
Can Xin Yu, this "Zhang San," enter his mental world?
This was the crazy idea that came to him!
However, when this idea was actually put into practice, the results were quite bizarre.
The two "Zhang San" simultaneously reached out their conscious hands to grab each other.
Ultimately, however, these two hands of consciousness could only interact and cancel each other out, like a tug-of-war.
Ultimately, they flickered alternately in the eyes of the audience, even leading to speculation that they had merged into one...
No matter how the flashes alternate, no matter how the two hands of consciousness interact...
It seems impossible to incorporate any particular Zhang San into the mental world.
Just like how both Zhang Sans are himself to him.
Therefore, "oneself" still cannot lift "oneself" up...
Perhaps it's the effect of the SSS-level talent, "Under the Will of Heaven".
Jiang Yi had a feeling...
The only way for him to gain the approval of "the trump card is Zhang San" is to incorporate this "Zhang San" into his mental world!
