Chapter 381 Congenital bug holy body!

Eternal chaos.

A purple air stretches across the sky!

Three streams of clear air rise into the sky from Kunlun Mountain!

Two golden lights shine on Mount Sumeru!

The Wahuang Heaven, the Blood Sea, and the Ashura Realm also began to surge with saintly aura!
Then, these nine auras gradually disappeared, as if nothing had happened.

But Xue Xuan, who was in the Asura Realm, was sweating profusely at this moment...

The sudden visit of the nine saints made him feel overwhelmed, especially his old father's obscure gaze, which made him feel uneasy:
It's over. This time, without Pangu's will to protect me, if my old father really wants to do something, I'm afraid I won't be able to fight back...

However, since the saints have successfully returned, doesn’t it mean that the younger generation named Lin Liu has passed the test perfectly?
This made Xue Xuan happy for him, but also very puzzled:

How did he get through? Wasn't it possible for Lin Liu's real body to get through?
In the previous conversations with Lin Liu, Jin Bing and I had rejected his plans to pass the level one by one, and none of them were feasible.

The reason why a bug is a bug is that it has no solution under known conditions!
So, could it be that Lin Liu found some new key information outside the theory, which forcibly eliminated the bug and allowed his original body to descend across the world?
After thinking it over, Xue Xuan still couldn't come up with a reliable solution, so out of curiosity he decided to ask the saint about Lin Liu's whereabouts and go talk to him in person later...

"what?"

Just as he was about to speak, Xue Xuan exclaimed again:
It was because next to the wealthy Bodhisattva Cundi, there stood a helpless monkey!

Xue Xuan certainly knew this monkey. It was the protagonist of the dream, born from the projection of the wills of nine saints. So from a certain perspective, it was equivalent to the incarnation of a saint...

But this is not the key point. The key point is how did it come to the prehistoric times?
The monkey, a dream creature, is essentially just a thought of the saint in his dream. It is an experiment made by the saint to create a "protagonist anchor point" independently.

So essentially it doesn't exist.

If the saint wakes up from the dream, then this thought will dissipate, and return to complete nothingness along with the entire dream world...

This is just like an ordinary person waking up from a dream. No matter what, the things in the dream can never come true.

Unless it really succeeded in cultivation, like those people that Lin Liu had saved before...

However, a saint cannot master that kind of power at all!

Refining the false into the true is just like creating something out of nothing. Both are powers that are absolutely impossible for anyone to touch. But now...

Looking at the monkey who was at a loss because he was unfamiliar with the place, Xue Xuan frowned:
Things are not simple!
"I wonder why the saint is here to look for you this time?"

Xue Xuan asked bravely.

None of the saints spoke, only Hongjun stepped forward and handed the two items to him. When Xue Xuan saw the appearance of the items clearly, he was stunned and did not react for a long time:
A small sandbox and a human-shaped blood clot.

These two things that had accompanied him in the past certainly made him feel extremely familiar and nostalgic, but more of a sense of confusion:

How come they are here?

Where is Lin Liu?
An inexplicable feeling of panic came over me:
"He...didn't come?"

"he died."

Hongjun sighed.

Xue Xuan was stunned when he heard this...

Death is not something difficult to accept for the protagonist, because infinite restarts are the protagonist's standard configuration. Xue Xuan himself has died countless times.

So he subconsciously thought of the fate that the world would face after the protagonist's death:
If the anchor dies, then the world that relies on the anchor will soon perish as well...

However, he had anticipated this. After all, he was not the protagonist now, but a created clone NPC. It was normal for him to be buried with the current protagonist when he died.

So after a brief moment of sadness, Xue Xuan sighed:
"The world is about to perish..."

"Do not."

Hongjun shook his head, and in Xue Xuan's confused eyes, he sighed:

"The world will not perish, because he saved everyone with his own life!"

……

"That's it..."

After a while, Hongjun told Xue Xuan everything that had happened:
"In order to make the dream world no longer a false dream, he promoted knowledge from outside the realm, causing the dream world to gradually approach the Dharma Ending Age where there are no gods."

"Eventually, he died of old age because of this, but for some reason, after his death, everyone in the dream became the same protagonist as him, including it!"

He pointed at the monkey and sighed:
"It easily accomplished the impossible task of turning the false into the true, because it and I are one, and we were able to return safely to the wilderness..."

Xue Xuan was stunned for a while before saying:

"So, it...became an anchor?"

Hongjun nodded.

Can the protagonist's identity really be given out of thin air? !
This was beyond his understanding, and Xue Xuan couldn't help but have a brainstorm...

But before Xue Xuan could think carefully, the Blood God Son and Pangu in his hands suddenly disappeared silently.

Hongjun raised his eyebrows:
"This is?"

Xue Xuan woke up as if from a dream, looking at his empty hands, he of course knew what had happened.

"ended."

Xue Xuan murmured to himself, seeming relieved, yet lost.

Although we don’t know what happened specifically, the fact that the gift props were recovered and that the protagonist is there to anchor the Eternal Primordial World means that the plot of this chapter has ended, and there will be no more interference from that “game” in the future, and there will no longer be any major crisis that can threaten the peace of the Primordial World.

The price paid was the life of that junior...

But Xue Xuan still didn't understand:
The requirement for clearing the level is that the protagonist does not die, but this time Lin Liu clearly died, so how did he still clear the level?

Is there something wrong with the game system's judgment, or is Lin Liu simply... not dead?
With this question in mind, Xue Xuan decided to find an opportunity to personally go to the dream world that has permanently existed independently to find out the truth...

……

[After you insisted on proving your truth through death, you finally died of old age in the process of materialization! ]

[After your death, Li Ziliang will succeed you as emperor and continue your unfinished great cause. One day, the dream world will truly realize an independent and peaceful and prosperous era! ]

[With your complete death, the infinite power from outside the domain began to "turn the false into the true", so that every person in the dream became a protagonist like you. ]

[Even monkeys are no exception...]

[With your help, the monkey unconsciously completed the process of turning fake into real, and from a doomed experiment, became the real protagonist anchor! ]

[The experiment was a great success. The delighted Bodhi Patriarch immediately ended the dream and took the monkey back to the "eternal wilderness", thus bringing the long-awaited anchor point to the wilderness.]

【Thus, the dream was able to last forever, and the primitive world was also preserved. 】

【The best of both worlds is perfect! 】

[However, this perfection is built on your "death"...]

【…】

[Ding! The right choice brings the right ending! ]

[Ding! Sufficient relevant information has been collected. This round of simulation has ended. The progress has been saved. Players can check it at any time...]

[Ding! Settlement is in progress. The simulated prizes will be determined based on the final settlement rating...]

[Ding! This round of aid items has been returned! ]

Accompanied by a series of prompt sounds, two rays of light flew out from the phone screen and transformed into the Blood God Son and Pangu.

The two gifts were suspended in front of Zhao Si...

But Zhao Si did not collect them immediately, but frowned and fell into deep thought. "So, the reason why the ending world can continue to exist without the protagonist is because you will turn everyone in the world into a new anchor point?"

【Yes. 】

Zhao Si was somewhat puzzled:
"why?"

[Because this is the only way. Whether it is dreams or the wild world, they are essentially idealistic worlds that cannot exist independently. If you want to preserve them, you must have a protagonist anchor. ]

[But the original protagonist is no longer in this world, so this system must arrange a new protagonist for this world. ]

But Zhao Si still didn't understand:
"If what you said is true, in every ending world everyone has to become the protagonist, then didn't Lin Liu's previous two lives already achieve the ending?"

"In theory, the three endings he experienced had the same final effect. After the protagonist disappeared, the whole world became the new protagonist."

"Since the monkeys in this life have become real due to the ending, then the monkeys in the previous two lives should also become real... When Patriarch Bodhi brings them back to the prehistoric world, won't they also anchor the prehistoric world?"

This is what Zhao Sixiang finds most puzzling:

The endings of all three endings are the same, so why is only the third ending considered a complete game?

[Because in the first two endings, the protagonist Lin Liu did not survive, which violates the only requirement for a perfect ending. ]

what? !

Zhao Si was confused:
"So you mean, he will survive this time?"

Lin Liu is clearly dead, and has even given up on reincarnation, resulting in an "ending world" where everyone is the protagonist, the same as Jiao Ming III.

But after Jiao Ming's death, the game was not completed perfectly, so bird number two and bird number three followed him, and it was not until bird number three that perfection was achieved.

How come Lin Liu is clearly dead, but the system insists that he is not dead?

Is this a privilege...

[This system can clearly say that Lin Liu is not dead.]

【But he is not alive either. 】

what?
Zhao Si was even more confused:

Neither dead nor alive... Are you cosplaying as Schrodinger's cat? !
"What do you mean?"

[Players may wish to think about what the difference is between Lin Liu's current life and his previous two lives? ]

"different?"

Zhao thought for a moment:

"There's no other difference. At most, he used the Periodic Table to materialize something, but ended up dying of old age..."

Lin Liu originally just wanted to solve the problem of the sun god, turning the sun god into a material sun composed of "hydrogen" and "helium" to provide a stable source of energy for future people.

But if you want the people in the dream world to understand the concepts of "hydrogen" and "helium", you will inevitably have to use the "Periodic Table" and related knowledge as a foundation.

As a result, it inexplicably stimulated the power of thought of all living beings, and eventually led to a change in the world. Not only did the sun god disappear, but the entire world gradually became materialized...

Therefore, if we really have to say what is the difference between this life and the previous two lives, materialization is obviously the most likely suspect!
But what does this have to do with Lin Liu cosplaying as Schrödinger’s cat?
【The problem lies in this materialization.】

[Before materialization, the consciousness of the dreamer is his soul, and the soul, as an intangible thing, can really come into being out of thin air and perish out of thin air.]

[So if Lin Liu died at that time, his consciousness would completely disappear...]

Zhao Si thought about it carefully:

Indeed, the soul in an idealistic worldview is not balanced, so once Lin Liu dies, he is really dead, and the world will permanently lose a soul.

Not only the dream world, but also the eternal wilderness is the same. Since the things there are created out of thin air by saints, they can naturally be erased.

[After materialization, this problem no longer exists, because matter is indestructible. It only changes its appearance, but cannot increase or decrease out of thin air.]

[So, when Lin Liu died of old age because he himself was also materialized, his consciousness actually became a kind of matter, and thus is eternal and indestructible...]

Zhao Si seemed to understand:
"So, that's why you said he wasn't actually dead..."

If consciousness is also a kind of matter, then Lin Liu's entire body and mind have always existed in the dream world. According to the idealistic view of life and death, he is naturally not dead!

“That’s why, in his later years, he comforted people by saying, ‘Matter is indestructible, it just breaks into pieces.’ He also said that he would accompany people forever…”

Zhao Si suddenly realized:
"It seems that Lin Liu really anticipated all of this. The reason why he chose to die when he was about to pass the level was not because he was desperate for the future. On the contrary, it was because he was full of hope for the future. He believed that this was the real way to pass the level perfectly!"

"So, he can actually be resurrected, right?"

Zhao Si asked curiously.

[Yes, although he materialized the dream world, just as a saint cannot turn the false into the true, Lin Liu cannot turn a purely idealistic world into a truly materialistic world, because this is its foundation.]

[Rather than saying that Lin Liu changed the world and turned it into a material world, it is better to say that he took advantage of the loopholes in the world and forced the idealistic world to simulate the materialistic world.]

[So, as long as the world believes that he can be resurrected again, then he can really be resurrected... But he won't be willing. ]

It is naturally not feasible to seek materialism within idealism, just as a saint could never create something out of nothing like Pangu did, and just as Patriarch Bodhi could never make the monkey turn the false into the true.

It is normal that the system cannot transform idealism into materialism.

If the system really has the ability to reverse idealism and materialism, then why would it go to the trouble of turning everyone into the protagonist anchor while retaining the "ending world"?

Why not just change the world?

Therefore, Zhao Si understood the system's statement very well.

But regarding Lin Liu's matter, he still wanted to ask:
"why?"

Zhao Si wondered:

"I've already cleared the game, so why not revive?"

[Players think, why does this system have to follow the "end of the world" where the protagonist dies, and make Lin Liu's life a universal reality? 】

Because... he's dead?

Zhao Si thought about it and said uncertainly:
"You mean, if he is resurrected, then you will turn the monkeys back into non-protagonists?"

[Of course, in a world where a simulated protagonist exists, no other protagonists can exist. This is a basic rule.]

[If Lin Liu is resurrected, then Monkey will lose his status as the protagonist, and the Eternal Wilderness will perish again because it has no anchor point... It is precisely because Lin Liu guessed this that he has not allowed others to resurrect him. ]

[For him, forever accompanying all living beings in the dream world is the best and perfect ending! ]

admire!

Zhao Si couldn't help but sigh:
Lin Liu's operation was full of bugs!

In other words, he was born with a bug. As soon as he came into the world, he made Bodhi Patriarch feel like he was in heaven and death. He couldn't wake up, and he couldn't stay awake.

Later, he encountered another bug when it came to clearing the level. To clear the level, he had to die. If he didn't die, he had to keep reincarnating. The benefit of the protagonist's infinite restarts turned into a negative buff.

Now there is another bug...

Lao Liu, I would like to call you the innate bug holy body!

【…】

【Ding! Settlement completed! 】

【This round of evaluation is: Perfect! 】
