Lin Yi paused as he was about to pick up the seventh fragment of the Rosa Mystica, but then resumed his normal movements.
(Direction, distance)
[Directly behind, 3.5m]
Lin Yi's pupils contracted sharply, and without hesitation, he turned around and threw the doll, which still hadn't had the fragment implanted in it, behind him—
"Wow--"
The porcelain doll, which wasn't made of particularly hard material, shattered almost instantly upon being released. The mirror hanging on the wall 3.5 meters behind the target also broke into pieces of varying sizes and fell to the ground. Lin Yi frowned as he looked at the cracked wall.
"what is that?"
Based on the target's energy fluctuations, there is an 83.5% probability that it is a product of World Eight.
Recalling the desolate world he saw when he found the Rose Mother, Lin Yi frowned even more deeply: "Are there still living people in such a place?"
To be precise, I am not human.
As the voice rang out, an arm wearing a white glove emerged from the shards of the mirror that had fallen to the ground. Then, it carefully supported itself on one side as if "lifting" its body out to stand in front of Lin Yi: "Nice to meet you. You can call me Laplace."
Looking at the creature in front of him, which had human limbs but a rabbit's head and was dressed in a gentlemanly black tuxedo saluting him, Lin Yi felt a sense of amusement for no reason: "Perhaps I should ask what brings you here?"
"Of course, as the master of this world, you have this right."
"Then I also have the right to kick out uninvited guests, right?"
"Oh dear, this is really troubling me..."
The sweeping blade left an afterimage on the waist of the creature calling itself Laplace, followed by a piercing sound that almost tore eardrums apart. The fierce aura even left a deep scratch on the bedroom wall, but Laplace, the target, vanished without a trace like a phantom.
"As the host who previously welcomed you into my world, I assumed you would welcome me in the same way."
Laplace, who reappeared from another shard of mirror, straightened his somewhat disheveled tuxedo and said helplessly, "I have no ill intentions on this trip; on the contrary, it is of great benefit to you."
(God, have you determined the coordinates of its true form?)
[Driving simulation... 88% probability of being in World 8, 11.3% probability of being in the current world, and 0.7% probability of being in an unknown world]
"..."
Silently, Lin Yi plunged the slightly hot blade of his sword into the ground and said calmly, "Speak."
"Until then, I think it would be better to change the location."
Laplace pulled out a cane from who-knows-where and pointed it at the increasingly noisy doorway. He then looked at the dolls behind Lin Yi, who had been scattered and fallen in the previous battle: "At least, this is a place where we can leave these lovely ladies undisturbed."
----------segmentation----------
Lin Yi understood one thing as early as when he first used the God of the Main God to travel between different worlds: since he could travel between worlds after obtaining the fragments of the God of the Main God, he could not rule out the possibility that there were other beings in other worlds who could do the same. He just did not expect to come into contact with one so soon, and such a strange one at that...
It had no breath, no heartbeat, and not even body temperature. If it weren't for the tangible marks left on the ground where it had stepped, Lin Yi, who was following behind it, would have even doubted whether this abnormal life form really existed in front of him.
"Your Excellency need not worry. In terms of combat ability alone, you are capable of easily killing me."
Noticing Lin Yi's gaze, Laplace suddenly stopped and explained, "I only acquired this ability for certain special reasons. I don't know more than you in other aspects, not even about this world—"
Laplace tapped his cane on the floor: "This is also my first time setting foot here."
"..."
Lin Yi had no doubts about this. After all, from its initial statement of being the "master of another world," he could understand what it had misunderstood. As an "intruder" from World Zero, Lin Yi was definitely not the "master" of this world, whether in terms of stance or faction... Perhaps the reason it was able to enter this world was not as complicated as he thought.
Thinking this through, Lin Yi recalled his actions after leaving World Six: entering World Four to recuperate, entering World Eight to find the Rose Mother based on the information from the Main God, and returning to World Four to conduct experiments.
[The correct assessment is that this life form does not possess the ability to actively explore the unknown world; the current individual is a projection of this life form with the host as the coordinate system.]
(Projection...the coordinates are on me?)
[The correct judgment should be made regarding whether to clear the coordinates.]
Looking at Laplace, who seemed oblivious to everything and continued to chatter, Lin Yi became interested after realizing that his situation wasn't so bad—at least he was quite interested in the "benefits" this unknown life form was talking about.
“The Rose Mother, that was originally intended to be left there for a human being.”
Completely unaware of Lin Yi's thoughts, Laplace went straight to the point without any intention of hiding anything: "Unlike humans, my interest is in observing all the interesting things in the world. I had a feeling that the human would use it to do many interesting things, so I left it there. I just didn't expect that you would get it ahead of time."
"Oh?"
With a questioning tone, Lin Yi looked at Laplace with a half-smile: "You're here to take it back?"
"Of course not. I had already given up on this Rosa Mystica, but I did not expect that Your Excellency would handle it so pleasingly. I was so excited that I could only contact Your Excellency in this way."
Laplace, reacting dramatically, lowered his voice as if afraid of being overheard by the puppets behind the wall: "Would you like to play a game, Your Excellency?"
"game?"
"That's right. On the way here, I came up with a name for this game... Alice Game."
Intelligent Conservation: Chapter 107 Positioning
(How credible is the word of the Supreme God?)
[Based on the energy fluctuations of Our Lady of the Rose, the reliability is over 90%]
(In other words, can the Rosa Mystica in its complete state truly create a complete life form?)
[More than 95% probability]
"..."
Slightly, Lin Yi regretted her earlier decision to divide the Rosa Mystica.
Lin Yi had no requirements regarding the perfection of the dolls he created himself. His only interest lay in the knowledge and possibilities inherent in the act of "transforming matter into life." However, due to the incomplete information about the main god, he inadvertently lost such a valuable subject of observation...
(Is it possible to perform a reverse restoration on Our Lady of the Rosary now?)
[Success rate less than 5%]
Looking at Laplace again, Lin Yi still couldn't be sure if its true purpose was just observation, but there was no doubt that it had a way to restore the Rosa Mystica. The question was how he should obtain it.
Threat?
If what's in front of him is its true form, then it might be possible. Lin Yi was determined to kill this rabbit-headed monster by detonating the nuclear bomb he had stolen from World Six. The problem is that this one is just a projection. Even if he kills it, it won't help Laplace, whose true form is in World Eight.
So, how about we fight our way into World Eight?
That would probably be the most foolish thing to do. Based on the ability of this unknown life form to project into another world, Lin Yi was more than 50% certain that the world's will was focused on it. If it were to fall into the same predicament as when it dealt with Alex in World Six, there would probably be no other way but to open the "forbidden zone".
Then, do I have to gamble my life again for a "possibility"?
"can."
Taking a step back, Lin Yi cleared the way to the bedroom: "In return, I need all the 'knowledge' you possess."
Laplace left with six dolls and the last fragment. The "Alice Game" will take place in the world it controls, which Lin Yi has designated as World Eight.
In exchange, Lin Yi gained the ability to move freely in that world during the Alice Game, as well as Laplace's knowledge of the current state of World Eight.
From this perspective, Lin Yi gradually became certain that its claim that the only thing it was interested in was observing interesting things was not false. After all, it was rather strange to pay such a high price just for an "Alice Game" whose final outcome had nothing to do with him.
It's important to know that even the core material for creating the doll, the Rosa Mystica, originally belonged to it. Lin Yi created at most seven vessels, and one of them failed and another was damaged.
What surprised Lin Yi in this regard was Laplace's assessment of these two "unfinished products".
"Imperfect? No, no, no, this is the most 'perfect' form. Only imperfect things strive to achieve perfection. If it were perfect from the start, there would be no point in pursuing perfection. So this is fine."
Then, the defeated Number One and Number Seven, who didn't even have a body, were also taken away.
"Perhaps I should re-evaluate some of the values of these inhuman beings."
As he prepared to travel to World Eight, Lin Yi considered his code of conduct when facing non-human life forms in the future: "Compared to humans, they are indeed very different."
It's not just about appearance, but also about inner qualities.
At least humans won't pay such a high price for something that has nothing to do with them.
----------segmentation----------
While it was said that preparations were being made for a trip to another world, there wasn't really anything that needed to be done. It was just that, considering the current situation in that world, for safety reasons, the main god was asked to transfer some high-calorie food as an emergency substitute. What truly made Lin Yi decide to accept the invitation was that the main god regained certain "abilities" after the "forbidden zone" incident in World Six.
Strictly speaking, the main god is not always in a "damaged" state. According to its records, as long as it continues to improve itself and acquires more information and energy, it can restore itself to a "perfect" state to a certain extent. However, it seems that this is still a long way off.
However, after invading seven worlds and acquiring so much information and energy, the main god also repaired some of the incomplete records, including the location of the "Rose Mother," which was one of those repaired records. However, due to the incompleteness, the information that it also had a "holder" was not recorded...
Another repair capability is the inclusion of two forms of "location" capability.
The first type is the "positive positioning" used to locate Laplace's main body. In Lin Yi's view, this ability is roughly similar to the "prophecy" spell he thinks of. As long as you can capture a fragment of information about an object, you can locate the main body's location through that fragment. However, there are deviations depending on the amount of stored energy invested and the strength of the object being located.
Besides, the second method is the "reverse positioning" technology that allows Lin Yi to forcibly escape his current world in an emergency. According to the records of the main god, every life, whether human or otherwise, is marked with the imprint of a certain world when it is born. Lin Yi is naturally marked with the imprint of World Zero. If he encounters a situation like the Ghoul World where he is targeted and disrupted by the world's will to return to his coordinates, he can completely transfer to World Zero through this "imprint" on his body.
This is why Lin Yi agreed to the proposal even though he knew little about World Eight and Laplace. Otherwise, the mere mention of "benefits" would hardly be enough to justify his willingness to take the risk of entering another world.
"In a way, this gives us yet another reason to keep it."
Intelligent Conservation: Chapter 108 The Realm of N
The world is different.
Just as in some worlds, humans only need to cultivate step by step for a few years or decades to break free from the shackles of gravity and fly into the sky, in other worlds, it takes tens of thousands of years of historical evolution, following probability and theory, to give birth to a civilization called technology in order to achieve this.
Lin Yi was convinced of this reality as early as when he first encountered those "cultivators" in World One who completely defied scientific principles.
Perhaps some worlds are similar to the world we perceive, with "technology," "civilization," "order," and "society," but it is also possible that there are worlds that are fundamentally contrary to our perception.
It is obvious that this World Number Eight is such a world.
"Welcome to the N Realm."
Stepping into this unfamiliar world once again, Lin Yi saw not the desolate and dilapidated scene he had seen when he entered this world last time in search of the Rose Mother, but rather the opposite. Even though the land was buried by ruins that had been decaying for countless years, it could not conceal the vigorous vitality that was sprouting from that decay.
Reaching out to touch the soft grass on the ground, the sensation on my skin proved that this was not an illusion, but a genuine "reality".
Retracting his hand, Lin Yi looked at Laplace, who was standing to the side waiting: "N-domain?"
"As you can see, this world is not so boring compared to other worlds, and it is the perfect stage for these girls."
Ignoring Laplace's act of putting the dolls one by one into a box that appeared out of nowhere, Lin Yi was more curious about the world it called the "N Realm" than about the "Alice Game" it mentioned.
"If I remember correctly, the last time I entered this world, I didn't go to a place like this."
"Of course, 30 years ago—oh, the way time is calculated in this world might be a little different from what you know. Thirty years ago, you entered not this N-realm but another N-realm, so the scene you saw was naturally different."
As Lin Yi quickly memorized these words that he couldn't understand at the moment, he had a feeling that if he could figure out the structure of this world, it would greatly promote the construction of the "God Space".
"different?"
"Yes, the structure of this world may be quite different from the world you are familiar with. To give a brief description..."
As he explained, Laplace pointed his staff at the boxes where various dolls and fragments were already arranged. As the main god issued a warning of "abnormal energy fluctuations," the first box slowly floated into the air.
"Take your world as an example. If your world is a complete box with a complete internal and external structure, then this world, which is composed of countless N domains, is composed of countless boxes."
Centered on the first box, the remaining six boxes also floated and rotated slowly—seemingly the same, yet completely different.
Gazing at the seven boxes that were in a cyclical motion, Lin Yi suddenly said, "They are not independent."
"Absolutely correct!"
Seemingly quite pleased with Lin Yi's speech, his tone quickened: "For a life existing in one N-domain, another N-domain may simply be a product of its dream. At the same time, the N-domain in which that life exists is imagined by a life in another N-domain. These countless worlds built on illusion together constitute this illusory real world—'The World of N'."
Only now does Lin Yicai have a basic understanding of this completely different world.
In short, this world is a non-real world built on various imaginations and illusions. However, people living in this illusion are unaware that they are not real beings. Instead, while enacting their own lives, they unconsciously imagine more illusory worlds: it could be a novel, a nightmare, or a fragment of memory hidden somewhere in their hearts.
Therefore, these worlds are completely different from the seven worlds Lin Yi had explored before, not only because they are not independent, but also because they...
"It's all an illusion."
Once again, I reached out and touched the overgrown weeds. Although the sensation was exactly the same as before, the feedback from the main god clearly conveyed some unusual information.
Substance: Herbaceous plants – ferns
Energy reserves: 0
Even the most barren matter, as long as it exists in reality, will inevitably store energy, only the amount may vary.
The energy stored inside these substances is one of the main god's many energy reserves, but this plant has fundamentally overturned this conclusion. There are only two reasons for this situation: either the main god's detection is faulty, mistaking real substances for unreal illusory substances; or its perception is wrong, mistaking non-existent illusory substances for real substances.
"interesting."
With a smile on his face, Lin Yi withdrew his right hand again and looked at Laplace to the side: "As a 'stage,' these conditions are indeed perfect."
At that very moment, a new database was added to the records within the main god's system.
