Chapter 2150: Escaping the Illusion

————Still about an hour and a half left~~

————

To cause a memory overflow in a nearly infinite virtual world, there are generally two paths to take: one is macroscopic infinite vastness, and the other is microscopic infinite precision.

Regardless of which one, taking it to the extreme is something no virtual world can withstand; only the carrier of reality possesses such depth of authenticity.

Since he already had a direction for his actions, Xia Duo quickly began to act. He did not deliberately choose a direction, but instead, while pretending to be completely unaware, explored this virtual Mental Image World.

He was very clear that right now, there should be one or more unknown enemies outside observing his every move in the Mental Image World. Exposing his purpose too early would likely make the opponent wary, or even cause them to switch to other methods.

However, based on his understanding of this kind of illusion that exceeds common sense, this Mental Image World should not have means similar to "real-time rendering" on Earth; all changes should stem from the changes of the virtual world itself.

The Spellcaster outside should be unable to precisely control the specific situation within the Mental Image World; after all, the time and space inside are nearly infinite relative to the outside.

Xia Duo did not believe that any Spellcaster could instantly construct an incomparably vast and complex virtual world, and also perform real-time updates based on his actions.

Of course, necessary monitoring should exist; otherwise, if they were to face an ascetic with a will as firm as a rock, that person might truly be able to live for countless years in this virtual world.

【By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books currently is Yeguo Reading; install the latest version at. Wild Fruit Reading.】

After all, ascetics cultivate inner spiritual discipline, which in reality is actually no different from in a virtual world; perhaps they might even prefer staying here!

Clearly, no Illusion Master who has mastered the 【Mental Image World】 would be willing to compete in patience and lifespan with a rock.

……

Because he was unclear about the degree of monitoring the outside Spellcaster had over this Mental Image World, and was also unsure whether the opponent's consciousness was in a state of near time-stasis relative to him, or if it also existed within this Mental Image World, silently watching him.

Xia Duo's initial movements could not be too large; he had to test the waters first. After "reproducing" Seventon, his next step was to arrive at the southern border of Netheril, and likewise restore the Savile Territory and Daxia.

And because it was his own territory, his restoration of this area was precise down to every blade of grass and tree. Of course, these alone were far from enough; it could neither be called macroscopically infinite nor could it touch upon microscopic infinite precision.

What he was doing now could only be considered a relatively gentle probe against an unknown enemy. The result was much as he had guessed: the opponent had no reaction at all, or rather, his current actions were not enough to alarm the opponent.

Thus, he began a truly high-efficiency interaction with this Mental Image World——

Scrying spell!

He did not need to personally go to a certain place; he only needed to observe it, and that was enough for this Mental Image World to automatically update based on his perception.

This was like entering a virtual online game; wherever he observed, whether near or far, the textures were all replaced with detailed models. As long as the opponent could not save memory through real-time rendering, he would eventually crash it.

The two directions he chose—macroscopic and microscopic—the former was to continuously expand the scope of interaction with the Mental Image World, while the latter was to bring elements of reality to this world from a more microscopic level.

The virtual is ultimately virtual; once there are enough elements of reality, it will either manifest into the real world or collapse under the weight of its own authenticity.

In addition to his own Scrying spellcasting, Xia Duo also tried to use the Detection Array of the Tower of Time that he had restored to conduct interactions over a wider range.

Especially the Plane Exploration Array, which could not only detect the current plane but also delve into the Ether Interlayer, adding another layer of incomparably heavy reality to this Mental Image World.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but after projecting his Perception into the Astral Plane and beginning to roam within it, Xia Duo suddenly had a strange feeling——

The time in this world had slowed down!

This was not an illusion, but he could not find the source either; Xia Duo could only attribute it to the fact that he himself was also participating in the creation of this Mental Image World.

He guessed that perhaps by endowing the virtual world with reality, he could continuously increase his own Permission Level within this Mental Image World, and thus one day escape on his own.

Regardless, this was consistent with the direction he was currently attempting, and there was no conflict.

……

After gaining some success in the macroscopic direction, Xia Duo began his attempts in the microscopic domain almost simultaneously. It was not that he wanted to try to restore some extremely small object, but that he was preparing to conduct exploration in the domain of Magic.

Exploration of the rules is the most precise exploration that touches the essence of the world, and this would also bring great authenticity to this virtual world.

Currently, the Magic Net environment of this world was similar yet different from what Xia Duo knew. He had only made some calculations based on some errors in Arcane Energy during the teleportation process, thereby correcting his teleportation position.

He had not yet had time to conduct a more detailed Scrying of the Magic Net, let alone compare it with his own knowledge, because the microscopic is not like the macroscopic; the macroscopic is more akin to textures, while the microscopic highlights essence.

However, after repeatedly casting the Scrying spell, Xia Duo discovered that the Magic Net was inevitably undergoing some changes, but there was still a significant gap from what he knew.

He speculated that as long as there were enough normal spells from the Main Plane, it might be possible to turn the Magic Net of this Mental Image World into the version he knew.

It was just that there was another creator of this Mental Image World—in Xia Duo's speculation, it was highly likely to be a Zhamu Dasi Illusion Master who had mastered Psionic Magic; he was not sure what the final result would look like.

But in any case, it would never be wrong to endow this virtual world with as much reality as possible first.

Although Xia Duo was an individual, he was like a source of real divergence; any bit of reality he endowed would spread to the entire world under some mechanism of the Mental Image World itself.

……

Mental Image World, Tower of Time.

When Xia Duo finally cast the Equation Spell completely, the world suddenly began to shake. This shaking did not act upon any object, but rather, the entire world and all of space-time experienced some unknown change.

"This——"

Xia Duo was surprised that the Equation Spell actually had such an effect, but what surprised him even more was that after a violent vibration that was synchronized with the world, the Magic Net actually stopped changing, and it was still not the Magic Net he knew!

After a moment of thought, he immediately realized that his understanding of the Magic Net was still very one-sided, and at the same time, that unknown Illusion Master likely mastered another side of the Magic Net that he did not understand.

If that Illusion Master was truly from Zhamu Dasi as he had guessed, then he had likely greatly underestimated the potential of Psionic; Psionic was likely not as simple as being determined by the mind alone!

Perhaps it also involved certain elements of reality!
