Chapter 358

Ah? What about my matter?

Seeing himself suddenly pulled out to be criticized, Zhao Si couldn't help but feel somewhat startled: Was my strategy wrong from the start?

To be honest, if it weren't Lao Bing saying this, Zhao Si would have retorted a couple of sentences.

But since it was Lao Bing who spoke, Zhao Si also seriously examined his evidence.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Si suddenly understood: "Right? Why would I pin my hopes of clearing the game on a support gift? Isn't this thing supposed to be reclaimed upon clearing..."

The simulation game has run to this point, and the basic rules are now roughly clear; under the rules, as a player I can give many support gifts to the simulated protagonist, but these aids are essentially 'loans', not 'gifts'.

According to Lao Jiao and Xiao Heizi's experience, once the protagonist dies or clears the game, the gifts return to the player's hands.

So, as long as Lin Liu still relies on Pangu's divine power to cross the world's boundaries, he can never clear the game!

In that case, my earlier strategy was certainly wrong from the start...

After finally realizing this, Zhao Si felt a bit embarrassed, after all he had led the other's thinking astray.

But immediately he thought: "If that's the case, for Lin Liu to clear the game he must rely solely on himself, enabling him to reach the Primordial Realm without relying on Pangu's divine power."

But... how is that possible?

If Lin Liu had such ability, he wouldn't need the aid of 'Pangu's Possession' at all; he could single-handedly sweep through everything, blowing up the whole world by himself...

The current Lin Liu cannot even cross the world with his own strength, nor can he manage his own longevity; expecting him to achieve such a feat under the bleak conditions of the dream world is simply unimaginable.

Thinking this far, Zhao Si became ever more puzzled:

The clearance conditions are so harsh;... could Lin Liu really achieve this on his own?...

【Jin Bing: You, go eliminate the dream!】

【You: Ah? Me?】

【Old Big Brother's overly high opinion of you in this remark leaves you flattered and startled.】

【I'm not being modest, is this somewhat predestined...】

【This isn't the dream folk losing confidence; it's that you simply couldn't be that confident!】

【One should know oneself; you've always known your own limits, and the current predicament clearly exceeds your abilities...】

【"Besides this, there is no other way."】

【Jin Bing shook his head, shattering your wishful thinking: under the current predicament, you can only rely on yourself!】

【"After all, you are the protagonist."】

【These lingering words carry a hint of resentment...】

【"But... I can't do anything..."】

【You wanted to speak but held back, again entering the correct password on the wrong account...】

【"Alright, let's not talk about that for now."】

【Xue Xuan suddenly interrupted your conversation: "Compared to how to clear the game in the future, you now have two more important problems to solve!"】

【"First, what should be done about the sentient beings of this reset dream?"】

【You answered without hesitation: "Of course, continue to liberate them..."】

【Although your clearance strategy has completely gone bankrupt, for now your attitude toward the dream's sentient beings remains to liberate them if possible, after all the dream world holds no hope; only a better Primordial Realm can bring them happiness.】

【But a counter-question from Xue Xuan left you silent.】

【If you cannot solve the dream's problem, then as the monkey restarts, the dream world will keep spawning generation after generation of people... they are infinite, you cannot possibly save them all.】【Eternal Primordial can accommodate the billions you bring, but it cannot accommodate endless numbers, for Eternal Primordial is slowly falling into the Dharma-ending crisis...】

【Ah?!】

【This news you never imagined leaves you stunned: Can the Primordial still face Dharma-ending? Wasn't the Dharma-ending issue already resolved in the previous chapter? Why...】

【"Because of you."】

【Xue Xuan pointed at you helplessly: although Eternal Primordial no longer will fall into Dharma-ending due to material diffusion as the old Primordial did, this does not mean the spiritual energy here is infinite.】

【"Originally there were nine saints who could create something from nothing to supply the consumption of all beings in heaven and earth, but now, because of you, these nine saints are all stuck in the dream..."】

【"The bugs caused because of you, how could they be just one or two?"】

【"Now even the nine saints are stuck, because they need to maintain the dream, and the main reason for maintaining the dream is you!"】

【Your true form can only exist within the dream heaven and earth; once the nine saints awaken, your only fate is to dissipate together with the dream, thus forcing them to grit their teeth and continue maintaining the dream.】

【By doing so, although they preserve you as this 'anchor,' it also prevents them from diverting consciousness to sustain Eternal Primordial's resource consumption; thus Eternal Primordial can only fall into Dharma-ending...】

【This is utterly a dilemma; no matter how the saints choose, it's useless—both paths are dead ends!】

【After hearing this, you became ever more silent...】

【But Xue Xuan's problem isn't over yet: "Second problem, the dream world is about to fall into great chaos!"】

【Why?】

【"Because I am no longer here..."】

【Xue Xuan pointed at himself helplessly.】

【"I am different from the others in the dream heaven and earth; they are automatically generated by the saints' dreams, whereas I am a real person who entered the dream."】

【"Now that you have liberated me, I can no longer enter the saints' dream, so in this world reset by the monkey, heaven fundamentally lacks me as the Heavenly Emperor, and the gods are leaderless..."】

【"Originally they only acted as idle persons in heaven because I forcibly imposed the heavenly statutes and laws; otherwise, based on their origins and thoughts, they would have long gone to the human realm to cause chaos!"】

【Xue Xuan sighed: "So, if you want beings to live peacefully in the dream, you must quickly deal with that band of lawless true gods—either kill them all, or you become the Heavenly Emperor and re-establish order and rules for them; otherwise... I can't say."】

【This...】

【Two big problems you never even thought of, laid out clearly by Xue Xuan; if you didn't know, it might be okay, but knowing them, your heart now cannot tolerate any hesitation!】

【Those true gods don't even fear the heavenly statutes; they are no ordinary true gods—we must strike with heavy force!】

【After realizing this extremely deadly urgent danger, you immediately ceased hesitating and promptly bid farewell to the two.】

After realizing this extremely deadly urgent danger, you immediately stopped hesitating and promptly said goodbye to the two.

【Immediately, the Pangu divine power surged wildly inside the body...】

【……】

【Fishing village, in a certain dark corner.】

【An old cripple who had been hiding for a long time slowly opened his eyes; after a brief consideration of the current situation, you made the most correct decision at present……】

【No time to mourn the passing of the original owner, the old cripple; immediately rushing to the battlefield was Tieguai Lin, who had successfully been possessed and reborn by the Old God!】

【In order to prevent the gods, who have lost the Heavenly Emperor's restraint, from wreaking havoc on the human world, you must regain your divine power, but spreading the Dao now is definitely too late……】

【So, the Blood God Son immortal has reappeared in the martial world!】
