Chapter 669: Multiple Realities

"Management Hub, you never told me that these nine Dao Lords symbolize nine different concepts, such as persistence, termination, and evolution."

Li Heng smiled and spoke aloud.

"There is nothing worth mentioning about these; only those who like to scheme and study the Dao Lords would specifically emphasize this point. If it were a normal person, who would care?"

"Could it be that you need to know whether a Dao Lord likes black or white?"

The Management Hub spoke with disdain.

"What you said is not wrong; after all, it is not that the Dao Lords need these concepts, but that these concepts need the Dao Lords. The Dao Lords can change their concepts anytime and anywhere, so naturally, there is no need to care too much."

"After all, there is the possibility of morning orders being changed in the evening. In the information revealed by the Void Balance, in those endless years, who knows how many Dao Lords have changed their concepts, causing the Void to change its sky."

"But that is only in terms of concepts; in reality, figures of the Dao Lord level should not change their concepts casually. In this way, those who know the concepts of the Dao Lords are equivalent to knowing the state's policies in advance, and then they can gain more benefits from the implementation of those policies. This is an information gap, and for most people, this is too important." Li Heng spoke eloquently, expressing his full understanding.

"Those people are not normal people. Who among normal people would care what another person thinks or likes every day?"

The Management Hub remained disdainful, sticking to its own point of view.

"Then it seems that many people cannot be called the 'normal people' you speak of; this is the gap in strength, the Heavenly Abyss between the strong and the weak." Li Heng said calmly.

"Stop, I don't want to discuss this point here. Moreover, the Dao Lords are not as narrow-minded as you say. The Dao Lords transcend strength and weakness, and the gaze with which they view all living beings makes no distinction between the strong and the weak; all are equal."

The Management Hub could not help but retort.

"That is truly strange. Although subjectively, strong figures like Dao Lords can indeed view all living beings as equal—after all, a smaller ant and a larger ant are no different to a human—objectively, there is a difference in size and strength."

Li Heng, at this moment, transformed into a contrarian and said this.

"Do not say any more. I know you want to fish for information from me, wanting to know more about the Dao Lords from my mouth. However, I must correct you on one point: for the Dao Lords, whether subjectively or objectively, everything is equal, with no distinction between strong and weak."

The Management Hub believed it had already seen through Li Heng's purpose, but it still could not help but retort, saying unconvinced.

"Why is that? Stop bragging, how is that possible?"

Li Heng shook his head.

"You want to provoke me, using a reverse psychology tactic, right? Do you think I will fall for your trick? Don't imagine the vision of the Dao Lords as too narrow!"

"In your eyes, the weak are just the weak, but in the eyes of a Dao Lord, a weak person possesses more possibilities, countless possibilities. In this possibility, this weak person is just a mortal, but in another possibility, this weak person could also be a Sacred!"

"You see a weak person groveling before you, and you think they are very weak? Perhaps after countless years, perhaps in some possibility, or even in some Reality, they are far stronger than you, and in that case, you are the one who is weak instead!"

The Management Hub continued to expose Li Heng's conspiracy...

And then continued to be unable to help but retort.

Li Heng blinked his eyes, his expression revealing a look of amazement.

"Ah, so that's how it is. It seems the Dao Lords are truly too powerful, having even this kind of vision; I am far inferior. But honestly, without evidence, no matter how much you say, it is still empty."

He shook his head and said this with a helpless sigh.

"Stop pretending. That tone of reading in a mocking, Yin and Yang way makes me feel disgusted. Who said there is no evidence? When I originally operated the Great Void, the database recorded almost everything about the Great Void, including the Great Void you perceive and the Great Void outside your perception. Your vision is too narrow!"

"Perception and outside of perception, what is that? Stop bragging."

Li Heng's face was full of disdain.

"Can you stop pretending? If you have something to say, say it directly; if you have a question, ask it. You speak as if I definitely wouldn't respond; you just have to fish for information, right?" The Management Hub was completely unable to hold back and criticized him.

"But what you said really has no evidence. Now a 'perception' and 'outside of perception' have popped up? I remember that outside the Great Void is the Wuqiong Weizhi, right?" Li Heng continued to speak.

"Fine, fine, fine. Then I will educate you, an illiterate. Suppose in an infinitely large universe, a group of guys occupies what they consider to be the center of the universe and expands infinitely in all directions; this is the Great Void of their perception."

"But no matter how these guys expand, for this infinitely large universe, there exist countless self-proclaimed centers of the universe, and there exist countless groups of similar guys. This is the Great Void outside of perception, this is Duochong Xianshi, and this is the origin of why the Dao Lords view all living beings as equal. Understand?"

The Management Hub said viciously.

"So it is this theory. But in that case, the Great Void outside of perception is meaningless to us in the Great Void of perception. It is like that saying in the Physical Universe: within the light cone is Fate." Li Heng was puzzled.

"What you said is indeed correct, but this status quo was broken by a Dao Lord. Theoretically, in Duochong Xianshi, there exist certain channels for interaction between within perception and outside of perception. And one of the concepts of this Dao Lord, as you just said, is evolution."

The Management Hub said calmly.

"So that's it. Many thanks for clearing up my confusion."

Li Heng suddenly realized and nodded.

"You certainly should thank me."

The Management Hub was not polite at all.

"Are you satisfied now? Always fishing for information from me."

"These words shouldn't be said by you, but by me. After all, if you didn't want to say these things, I wouldn't be able to fish them out, right? One wants to give, and one wants to listen, that's all."

Li Heng said with a smile.

The Management Hub was not a moron; any fishing for information or any leakage of information was almost inevitable. Unless Li Heng could use force to coerce, otherwise, all of it was purposeful leakage of information.

"If you see through it, don't say it out loud. Has no one taught you that?"

The Management Hub said.

"We are all on the same side, let's speak openly."

Li Heng shook his head and said.

"I feel that if I speak openly, I will be plotted to death by you, just like how you pitted the Void Balance just now."

The Management Hub said very sincerely.

"Finally, regarding these things I said, you had better not believe them one hundred percent. This is not to say that I am lying to you, but rather, the Dao Lords, how should I put it? They knead the Great Void back and forth; who knows if there is still Duochong Xianshi, or within perception and outside perception, right now?"

"Duochong Xianshi was also kneaded by the Dao Lords?"

Li Heng raised his eyebrows and said.

"What else? Do you think the definition of the Great Void as an objective external world has any concrete form or structure? It wasn't just kneaded by the Dao Lords themselves, like one exquisite little toy after another."

The Management Hub answered frankly.

"Then I know why the barrier between Duochong Xianshi, outside perception and within perception, was broken by that evolution Dao Lord, and why there exist certain channels for communication." Li Heng replied.

At this moment, he could not help but recall the matter of the return that the Void Balance finally revealed at the moment of its departure...
