Fear and helplessness?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Feng was expressionless as he was constantly killed, his brain operating calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the strong, he could only be killed powerlessly over and over again, unable to be liberated, the fear of being unable to live or die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Losing contact with his companions, only endless loneliness remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was indeed quite terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Feng quickly understood what the test of this level was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was death or endless loneliness, it would bring fear to people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only by overcoming fear could one escape from this level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, it sounded like this level was easy to pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, everyone who came in should know that what was before them was an illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, if it were real, how could one be resurrected after death?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But things were not that simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time they died, the person who entered this illusion would bear the feeling of the fear of true death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This feeling of fear was not generated by one’s own emotions, but was imposed by this illusion. It could not be escaped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time they died, the sense of fear would increase until the person entering the illusion could not bear it and completely collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the sense of loneliness would also gradually increase accordingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, wanting to pass this level did not mean that the person clearing the level could not be afraid just by thinking about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how could one break through this sense of fear?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Feng rolled his eyes, not worried at all. He knew too well what this galaxy was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the place he stayed before coming to this real world, the game that forcibly took everyone from Earth away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just that, at such a time, seeing this kind of place, was there any reason?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shadow of fear grew larger and larger, but Qin Feng did not take it into his eyes at all, just thinking to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until the next \"death\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, this feeling was exactly the same as the feeling when he died, just gradually from weak to strong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This environment was not imposing fear, but stealing his memories, and then using his memories to defeat him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, wanting to get rid of fear meant one had to get rid of the shadow brought by that memory.\u003C\u002Fp>",1665,"2026-06-17T06:37:00.706Z","2026-06-17T06:54:06.241Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","aa45525b864dd4923f1b4de1f889b2b229de3386fc00c306c9cad7662e28c1d5",null,"online-game-mage-starting-with-a-10-000x-boost-f-chapter-495","https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fonline-game-mage-starting-with-a-10-000x-boost-f-cover.jpg"]
