Chapter 2110

Starlight... selection... system...

Nightmare...

What exactly is the connection behind these things?

If the Starlight War isn't for selecting seeds, what could it be? Or besides selection, what other purpose could there be?

Lowering his head in thought, with the dream rat as transport, Lin An rarely had time to relax, and began to consider everything that happened after entering.

If he were just an ordinary participant, he naturally wouldn't need to consider these. But for Lin An, he clearly knows he will soon be watched by all sides, even drawing the attention of the Starlight High Level.

Information is too scarce... can only piece together a part...

However, the Starlight Alliance's method of freezing dungeons is extremely like Chu An. Constantly sending people in to compete is also extremely like when they let Xiong Hanzi get stuck on the amoeba worm...

Wait?

If we reason backward from the dream rat, could the Starlight Alliance be using this method to find system loopholes?

Remodel a dungeon, trap it, then continually send people in to test. The deceased participants can even serve as energy to keep the dungeon running?

Lin An's eyes lit up, and a bold guess instantly surfaced in his mind.

Based on the information currently at hand, this guess is the most likely to hold true in his understanding!

By holding the Starlight War to attract "fertilizer", not only can it save a lot of resources, but also profit from it. Encountering a potential Fifth Stage, it can even absorb them to strengthen the alliance!

Moreover, the higher-level the dungeon, the stronger the Awakened Ones required! Even if the Starlight Alliance is immensely strong, it cannot endlessly pour strong individuals in.

In that case, to trick people into coming and have them come willingly, the optimal solution would be to hold a competition?

The train of thought instantly cleared.

Lin An's eyes flickered, and his heart suddenly became resolute.

The possibility is extremely high!

If it were me, I would do the same!

This would explain why the Starlight War is divided into three tiers, and why the Starlight Alliance keeps holding competitions!

One stone, three birds... no, the benefits are truly too many!

Having reached this thought, Lin An took a deep breath, feeling that if this were true, the person who came up with this idea back then would simply be a genius.

But it's also normal; those who have reached this point in the Apocalypse are none fools. And the wisdom erupted by civilizations to survive is always astonishing.

So... what loophole is the Starlight Alliance trying to find using dungeons?

After testing for so long and still testing, it means they've found something, but it's still lacking?

Lin An habitually tapped the rat's back with his fingertip, indifferent as the dream rat beneath him trembled in fright.

To be honest, he still doesn't know what a dungeon actually is. But setting that aside, just from the dream mouse's condition, its mutation might be replicable.

Dungeon...

Each dungeon world has its own unique rules, or perhaps a special power system.

If we also regard the real world as a dungeon, and the current universe as a super dungeon. Although the system has absolute control over dungeons under normal conditions, when it collapses, this control seems to disappear..

So theoretically, since dungeon energy can be plundered, the rules inherent to a dungeon can also be.

Just like the dream mouse, it can issue tasks and use the lingering rules...

Could it be that the Starlight Alliance wants to steal the system's rules this way? Even...

His train of thought paused, a strange color flashed in Lin An's eyes, and he subconsciously looked down at the dream mouse beneath him.

It's not impossible.

If Awakened Ones could also 'steal' power like the dream mouse, it would undoubtedly produce large numbers of strong individuals in an extremely short time; even more wildly, does the real universe controlled by the Doomsday System also have such a loophole?

The possibility is high!

Even if I'm mistaken, the Starlight Alliance surely has other plans. But this path may not be impassable!

His breathing grew rapid, Lin An suddenly realized he seemed to have unintentionally found something quite interesting.

Speaking of which, it's also fortunate; this dream mouse not only helped him resolve the trouble, but also revealed an unknown path?

Three hours and three minutes later.

Sitting upright on the dream mouse's back, Lin An slowly raised his head, his eyes full of fatigue he could not hide.

Under continuous high-intensity thinking, even with Faith Power sharing the consumption, his mind still couldn't take it much.

Information is still too scarce; no matter how he 'inquired' of this dream mouse, he could not obtain more useful information. Although the dream mouse previously seemed to display extremely high intelligence, only after he delved deeper did he discover that the illusions it created were purely opportunistic.

So-called cleverness merely uses the subject's own expectations to generate illusions.

Put bluntly, it makes people deceive themselves; in fact, the dream mouse doesn't even know what the illusions it produces actually are.

We can only put it aside for now; there's too much uncertain information.

Also.. if it were that simple to think of, why would the Starlight War need to go on so long?

A soft sigh.

Lin An's mouth curled into a bitter smile; he had no choice but to resign himself to giving up.

Too many mysteries.

Even if he figured it out, he would still need enough strength to verify it; the urgent task is still to first secure first place in Starlight.

He is like a pawn, repeatedly thrown into the game. Whenever he breaks out, another bewildering situation awaits him.

The player controlling the pieces might be Big-Eye, or maybe Chu An, or perhaps those mysterious saviors?

Just don't know why, a blurry white shadow constantly flashes in his mind. Deep in Lin An's inner heart, in the depths of the soul that consciousness cannot reach, there seems to exist an unimaginable secret.

Squeak!

The dream mouse suddenly cried out.

Lin An raised his head, only then noticing that the journey had already passed halfway; at this moment the dream mouse stopped at a complicated crossroads. Not knowing which way to go, it couldn't help but call out timidly and anxiously.

Mm.. go left, then go up.

Lin An was slightly taken aback, then turned and spoke softly. But after giving the route, he noticed the dream mouse seemed somewhat afraid of the latter part of the journey.

However, it didn't matter; the latter part was definitely dangerous, and he had long been prepared.

Gazing at the unknown darkness ahead, Lin An stroked the dream mouse and continued forward.

The long road stretched on, the future dark.

But he thought that one day he would see the light and know the answers to all questions.
