Chapter 521: My Opponent, Please State Your Name!

Han Fei lit a Cigarette and silently listened to the struggle below. He had to say, the players who came to participate in the Heart Cultivation Method competition were all elites among elites. With their abilities, clearing the Maze basically had no suspense.

But, facing the interception of Chen Ran's Party.

Very few could survive.

Simply because the configuration of Chen Ran's Party was truly a bit high. Among the four people, there were at least...

Three Superego Skills.

Chen Ran's Skill should only be Ego-Tier, but Han Fei faintly felt that the person who set up this kind of Immortal-Slaying Trap was exactly Chen Ran.

Although Chen Ran had constantly been in front of his eyes and hadn't communicated much with the other three.

However, whether Chen Ran had been transferred to another space by Lin Xuan and laid out the arrangement in the other space, he couldn't be sure.

'The most crucial point is...'

'There's a problem.'

'Simply put, players who have cultivated The Highest Goodness is Like Water are very easy to identify.'

'Players who have only cultivated Supreme Perfect Enlightenment will be very calm and rational. In normal communication, they will try their best to avoid making jokes or saying meaningless things, like robots.'

'However, players who have cultivated The Highest Goodness is Like Water will be very casual. When they should joke around, they joke around; when they should say things lacking substance, they say them. They won't deliberately suppress their emotions.'

'This is also why in Hell, the more a player is like a 'human', the easier it is for them to cultivate The Highest Goodness is Like Water.'

'In other words, Chen Ran and Lin Xuan might both have cultivated The Highest Goodness is Like Water.'

'Moreover, both of them are [Delight].'

Realizing this point, Han Fei had no choice but to face his opponents this time squarely.

'Three-Star The Highest Goodness is Like Water...'

'And there are fucking two of them!'

'Moreover, that Qiu Yinong also looks like there's a problem with her. Just now Jiang Zhe asked her why she had to walk down from upstairs every time, and Qiu Yinong answered: It gives a sense of pressure.'

'I caught that the expressions of Jiang Zhe, Chen Ran, and Lin Xuan all changed somewhat.'

'This shows that this is vastly different from the Qiu Yinong in their impressions.'

'In other words, Qiu Yinong has very likely broken through the rules she set for herself.'

'Unity of Man and Heaven?'

'Looking at it currently, in Chen Ran's Party, only Jiang Zhe has a slightly weaker Mental State. The other three are all individuals with stunning and peerless talents.'

He hadn't encountered a formidable team of this level in a long time. Han Fei only felt that every cell in his body was thrilled.

'It's a pity that I have only deduced a part of the Second Realm of Lingtai Heart Cultivation Method, and can't deduce the rest. Otherwise...'

'There would be no need to come and fight for it at all!'

While he was thinking, Chen Ran suddenly turned his head and looked at him: "You should have noticed something by now. But I can feel that you don't seem to be very afraid, but instead have a kind of excitement of encountering a worthy opponent."

Han Fei was startled. Just now he was too excited and didn't reign in his expression, and was actually noticed by him?

"Actually, I have attempted to deduce the Second Realm of Lingtai Heart Cultivation Method. Regrettably, I might have only deduced a part of it. I can feel that you are also very strong. How about you withdraw?"

'Trying to break my spirit?'

Han Fei smiled with a cigarette dangling from his mouth: "Oh? Then tell me what you have deduced."

"There should be..." Chen Ran paused and continued, "Negation of Negation."

Han Fei widened his eyes and looked at Chen Ran with a terrified expression, his face full of disbelief.

"Actually, my inability to deduce the subsequent Heart Cultivation Method is because I encountered a few problems."

"Suppose your girlfriend and a strange man stayed in the same hotel room for one night, but in fact nothing happened between them, but you think something happened between them. Then the question arises: is whether they actually happened or not important, or is whether you think they happened or not important?"

Chen Ran's question made the four people in the stairwell fall silent. Simply because, for anyone who had studied Marxist philosophy, this question shouldn't be very unfamiliar.

If you think it happened, then even if it didn't happen, it happened.

If you think it didn't happen, then even if it happened, it wouldn't matter.

This question has no answer.

Just like, if you act hypocritically benevolent and righteous for a lifetime, then you are truly benevolent and righteous.

But, for you, you are indeed acting hypocritically; for other people, you are also indeed truly benevolent and righteous.

Without waiting for them to figure it out, Chen Ran continued, "A seed falls on the ground, takes root, and sprouts, growing into a fruit tree. The flowers bloom and bear fruit. The fruit falls to the ground, the pulp rots, and the seed inside takes root and sprouts on the ground again. Then the question arises: what is the difference between this seed and the previous seed?"

"In the past, I looked at a mountain and saw a mountain, I looked at water and saw water; later, I looked at a mountain and didn't see a mountain, I looked at water and didn't see water; finally, I looked at a mountain and still saw a mountain, I looked at water and still saw water."

Logically speaking, Chen Ran's latter sentence 'I looked at a mountain and didn't see a mountain, I looked at water and didn't see water' harbored a lie. But in fact, it didn't harbor a lie. These are the three realms of life, and what he spoke were the original words.

This is just like, a pencil, if you use it as a hairpin to secure your long hair, then is there a problem if you say it is a hairpin?

There isn't!

After all, in objective fact, it is a hairpin, and also a pencil.

This is the second realm in life:

Looking at a mountain and not seeing a mountain, looking at water and not seeing water.

From this, a conclusion can be drawn: there are many ways of self-deception, which requires the player to judge the attributes of an object themselves.

For example, wood is made into a table. You calling the table wood is correct; there is fundamentally no lie. You calling it a table is also correct and there is no lie.

Different objects, in different shapes or occasions, have different attributes. This makes it very easy to trick players into telling lies.

The fact that Chen Ran could say this meant that his deduction of the Second Realm of Lingtai Heart Cultivation Method was already more than half complete, only lacking certain things he couldn't deduce.

…

Han Fei's expression was grave. He hadn't expected Chen Ran to also have half a foot in the Second Realm of Lingtai.

'No wonder these three all take him as their leader. So he's the brains of the group!'

'He is saying this to make me retreat in the face of difficulties and give up the struggle for the Heart Cultivation Method.'

Han Fei's exposure was in front of the Maze entrance, when someone in the Maze yelled:

"Pick up the can."

This made Chen Ran realize that Han Fei already had half a foot in the Second Realm of Lingtai.

The reason was very simple. Reincarnation replication didn't exist in the Maze at all, so there was no need to pick up the can. But the middle-aged Han Fei spoke out to make Han Fei pick up the can, constructing a player's Personal Common Sense.

It would make players deduce that the Maze had a reincarnation replication mechanism.

And Chen Ran's exposure was intentionally revealed through the few questions he just raised, wanting to make Han Fei retreat in the face of difficulties. But the problem was that Chen Ran's Party still had three 'powerhouses'. This was the confidence behind Chen Ran's exposure.

They could all feel each other's formidable strength. Not only did Chen Ran not want to fight with Han Fei in the Third Secret Chamber, Han Fei didn't want to either.

Simply because, in the future predictions of both of them, neither had the certainty of a guaranteed victory.

Unless someone broke through again, widening the gap in strength with the other party.

But, what could they break through?

The Second Realm of Lingtai Heart Cultivation Method?

They couldn't deduce it!

Cultivate another The Highest Goodness is Like Water?

They couldn't do it!

Simply because, when cultivating the first The Highest Goodness is Like Water, one cultivated the emotion they were best at.

The second one wouldn't be that simple.

Cultivate Unity of Man and Heaven?

It required being bound by rules and seeking a breakthrough amidst suppression. Very obviously, they didn't have this kind of environment now, and couldn't do it either.

In other words.

The only thing they could do was to try to make the other party retreat in the face of difficulties.

Otherwise, there would only be a bloody firefight—a firefight between geniuses of the same level. After all, Han Fei was also a Three-Star Player. To actually have the same Mental State as Chen Ran, the same half-step Second Realm of Lingtai, it could be seen that Han Fei's strength was almost on par with Chen Ran's.

Neither of them had expected to encounter a genius of this level in this world.

Just as the thought buried deepest in the hearts of these five people: They wouldn't believe for a second that The Almighty wasn't causing trouble in this!

Han Fei silently lit a Cigarette and took a deep drag: "If we had met when we were alive, perhaps we would have appreciated each other, perhaps we would have become friends. But unfortunately..."

Suddenly, his expression changed: "My name is Han Fei, a Three-Star Liar-Slayer. The Highest Goodness is Like Water I cultivated is [Anger]. First Realm of Lingtai. I slashed off half of my Ego but failed. My opponent, please state your name!"

He had no choice. Having been targeted by The Almighty, he had to fight even if he didn't want to.

…

Meanwhile.

On the rooftop. Shen Yuwei and Liu Anfeng acted as special guests. Their role was to prevent anyone from cheating: skipping the Secret Rooms on the three floors to come to the rooftop and take the Heart Cultivation Method away.

Shen Yuwei flipped through the Heart Cultivation Method. Although she had previously obtained the Second Realm of Lingtai Heart Cultivation Method, it was very boring on the rooftop.

Shen Yuwei softly gasped in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Liu Anfeng asked.

"This Heart Cultivation Method actually has an eleventh page?" Shen Yuwei frowned.

Hearing this, Liu Anfeng leaned over, only to see that the content on the eleventh page was:

[Crime is the negation of the law; Judgment is the negation of crime.]

[——Chen.]

Perhaps only at this moment did they truly understand that The 5th True Self Player, whose righteousness was so extreme it bordered on evil...

The reason for establishing The Underworld!
