Jiang Ran didn't know who the person in front of him was, but he was certain that it was definitely not "Ma Dapao"!
"True God level..."
There are a total of 12 characters in the story, and twelve gods... Does that mean that each character corresponds to a real god? No, there should only be 11 gods left, the numbers don't match.
It's true that you can't see the data of a true god-level talent. If the other party wanted to, they probably wouldn't even be able to display that level. But there's no need to hide it anymore. ??? It's no different from a true god. Anyone can figure that out with a little thought.
But His answer was—it was all a lie?
But isn't this statement obviously a lie? Everything? That's too absolute! But His words didn't clearly explain what exactly "everything" refers to.
Ma Dapao sat down on the ground: "What, you came to ask me, but you don't believe me?"
"Asking you doesn't necessarily mean I have to believe you." Jiang Ran sat down opposite him as well. "However, I never said I definitely wouldn't believe you."
"Nothing in this world is real. What is 'real' and what is 'false'? Is everything that can be touched real?"
Ma Dapao placed his hand on the floor, and in an instant, the entire building disappeared. The group seemed to be sitting in the void. Yu Cheng was somewhat frightened, while Gwen appeared calm on the surface, but her heart was in turmoil.
Jiang Ran remained calm and composed, because he knew that for a true god, doing this was incredibly easy.
"Such a vast world, just like this 'Big Cannon Ma,' he will never know that the world he lives in is just a virtual testing ground. He will continue to live his life as usual and will continue to be troubled by his emotions."
"But he had no idea that, just a few days later, the world he lived in would be destroyed when the trial ended!"
"Whether it's Blue Star or Earth, it's ultimately just a plane of existence! There are countless planes like this, some large and some small!"
Ma Dapao stood up and spread his arms: "Perhaps a plane of existence was born without anyone's intervention, just like Earth. It was born just like that. This plane is called 'real existence,' but it will only be a hundred billion years, a trillion years, or even a trillion years later!"
Does he still exist? Are there any signs that he ever existed? If so, is he real or an illusion?
Gwen and Yu Cheng were completely baffled by the term "Earth," but Jiang Ran's gaze grew increasingly sharp!
Do these gods really know his origins? Perhaps this meticulously planned "time travel" was also their doing!
"Just like Ma Dapao doesn't know his own situation!" Ma Dapao placed his hands on Jiang Ran's shoulders. "Jiang Ran, if I told you that you were also a virtual character created casually by some big shot, would you believe me?"
"You probably won't believe it, right? After all, even if you told Ma Dapao, he wouldn't believe it either."
Ma Dapao laughed and then took a few steps back.
Jiang Ran turned around and frowned immediately. Gwen and Yu Cheng seemed to be in a mysterious state, but it was not a good one. Instead, it made them doubt themselves!
"A virtual character created on a whim?"
"I'm a near-god... but, but aren't those guys in the dungeons also near-gods?"
As a supernatural being, Gwen has never really looked down on the supernatural creatures in those supernatural dungeons, because supernatural beings can easily travel between different supernatural worlds, while those creatures can only stay in one supernatural world until the world is destroyed. No matter how powerful they are, they will eventually return to nothingness!
Therefore, almost all the strange individuals share the same idea: they are real, while the strange creatures in other supernatural worlds are fake!
But Ma Dapao's words really confused Gwen. She was also a strange creature, created by those gods. Could she really be considered real?
"Jiang, Jiang Ran..."
Gwen squeezed Jiang Ran's hand, and Jiang Ran could feel her trembling slightly!
"You say it's all a lie, but what about you?"
Jiang Ran pointed directly at the current "god"!
"As one of the creators of everything, do you dare say you're also a fake?"
“Who knows?” Ma Dapao sat down again. “Suppose I write a novel, I am the creator of this novel, so I dare to say that I am real, and the things in the novel are false. And there can also be a new novelist in this novel, who can also create his own novel. Do you understand what I mean?”
"How can you be so sure that you aren't a novelist within a novel? Perhaps the novelist who wrote you is also a novelist within a novel!"
“Jiang Ran, it’s not easy to sway someone with your mindset.” Ma Dapao shook his head. “Therefore, I have to tell you something deeper.”
"When I talked to you about the span of time before, it didn't stir any emotion in you. I'm afraid you think that as long as something has existed, it is considered real."
"But what if it never existed at all?"
Ma Dapao smiled, and then two light screens appeared in front of the three of them.
The first picture shows skyscrapers, cars speeding down the street, pedestrians with cell phones in their hands, and a passenger plane flying overhead.
The second image depicts various peculiar buildings, people riding ferocious beasts on the road, adventurers carrying magic scrolls, and a giant dragon flying overhead.
"Jiang Ran, which scene do you think is more realistic? You don't need to answer me, because you'll definitely think the first scene is more realistic!"
"A cell phone powered by electricity and a scroll powered by spiritual energy—perhaps to you, the former is reality and the latter is just a fairy tale, but to me, there is no difference between the two; they are simply applications of energy."
"So you think it's incredible that dragons fly in the sky, but then it's normal for airplanes to fly? Communicating via scrolls is something that only happens in movies, but is it normal for two people to be able to talk on the phone across cities? You can explain the principles, but the magical world can explain the principles too. Have you personally gone to understand all of these things one by one? So how can you be so sure—"
Is the world you live in a real world?
"Think about it carefully, Jiang Ran. What is real? Is everything around you, including yourself and your ego, real?"
In the end, you'll only come to one conclusion: it was all a lie.
