I played the world alone

Chapter 516 The origin of the system?
This time, Lu Chen didn't make any cover-up and faced the other party directly with his true face and body.

He just looked at the "former" master of the small world in front of him indifferently.

He has enough self-confidence.

The other party's soul is in a very bad state, and it would not be a surprise for him to lose his soul at any time. What's more, now that we are on our own territory, with just one thought, the other party will not be able to mobilize even the slightest bit of spiritual energy, but will directly crush the other party into crumbs.

Of course, I also want to express a certain amount of respect for this "old senior".

The old man stared at him for a while, then smiled slowly.

"Early stage of divine transformation? This strength is indeed barely enough to raise a small world, but it is still a bit low."

Lu Chen frowned: "What do you mean? May I ask what your senior's strength was before?"

"Me? When I first obtained the seeds of the small world, I was in the Void Refining Realm. I didn't hatch them until the peak of the Mahayana Stage. I only officially started cultivating this world after I ascended to immortality."

"The time span is tens of thousands of years!"

It's a pity that his pride was quickly broken by the other party's faint words.

"It is true that I am only at the peak of foundation building now, but I have not taken away this body."

Reality is reality, and there is no such thing as a master of the small world.

Could it be that we encountered some terrible foreign invasion?

And the key is, the other party obviously knows more secrets!

Lu Chen shook his head: "I come from the earth, not a small world."

"It's just that you are now reduced to the pitiful stage where you are only at the peak of foundation building and still want to take other people's bodies, isn't it?"

The old man's reaction was a little bigger than he expected, and he even exclaimed, as if he had seen a ghost, which was completely inconsistent with the arrogant attitude he had just shown!
"The real...world?" Lu Chen felt as if he had heard some terrible secret.

"You don't know about this?" The old man suddenly asked, "Who is your master? Who gave you the seeds of this small world? Judging from your current scale, it shouldn't have been a long time ago, right? Didn't you give it to you? you said before?"

"I want to know why you ended up where you are now?"

"They are all saved..."

"Impossible!" the old man suddenly said excitedly, and then suddenly realized something. He pondered for a moment and stared at him closely, "Which small world are you from? Xuanwu? Qinglong? Or..."

Lu Chen observed carefully. Although he could not accurately tell whether the other party's words were true or false, he could indeed feel that the soul in the other party's body had a rather strange entanglement.

After a long time, he slowly came back to his senses and sighed softly.

But the old man didn't seem to hear it, and murmured to himself in a low voice as if he was wandering away.

His mind immediately thought of the dirty things outside the cracks in the world he had seen before.

"I'm sorry I was too excited just now so I lost my composure."

"Earth...are you from the real world?!"

Will everyone be on the verge of death?

"We are all attached to this big tree to absorb nutrients to sustain our growth, trying to make our leaves grow bigger and better."

"If you really think about it, we are just one body and two souls now. It's just me, a bereaved dog, lingering and clinging to this body."

He laughed to himself.

Lu Chen couldn't help but be silent for a moment.

Lu Chen immediately asked: "The real world... does it mean the real world where we, including Shu Jianying, live?"

"I just didn't expect that there would actually be practitioners who appeared from the real world."

"If we use an analogy, the real world is a big tree, and all the small worlds we live in are the leaves growing on it."

Since the other party claims to have ascended, their strength must be so powerful that it is almost unimaginable.

The old man sounded quite proud.

"I don't have a master. My current cultivation is all self-taught."

"The prophecy came true..."

"What does this mean? Senior, please explain it carefully to this junior..."

"That's it, that's it..."

"Normally, Brother Shu himself will control this body. I will only appear at critical moments, such as the previous fight with the national master, and now."

He would definitely not say anything about the existence of the system.

Never expected that I would directly come into contact with the real secrets of the world?

The old man's expression froze, but then he shook his head.

After hearing these words, although there was no obvious change on Lu Chen's face, deep inside he was already in turmoil and was shocked.

"Yes." The old man answered readily, without any further concealment or pretense, "And the real world is also the foundation on which all our small worlds rely."

In the end, I can only attribute it to the fact that I am a genius.

Back when he was at his peak, a junior in the early stages of becoming a god was not even qualified to carry his shoes.

He has already confirmed this with the system.

"So... why are these small worlds in danger of destruction?"

This was what he couldn't understand the most.

It stands to reason that even a person of his own strength can have absolute control over his own little world, and he can sense any problems that arise and deal with them in a timely manner.

Then these people who have become "immortals" should have stronger control and have more ways to resist foreign enemies.

However, as of now, it is not an exaggeration to say it was a disastrous failure.

These are the few small worlds that I can come into contact with, but there are many more worlds that may simply disappear without being heard, and their deaths will not even make a splash.

The old man said in a serious tone: "Because those small worlds have lost their roots. They obviously rely on the real world to exist, but they deviate further and further from reality. Naturally, they become illusory until they become a bubble. It will break if you poke it.”

"Since you can find my world, you should have been to more other worlds."

"Have you ever seen the scene outside the crack in the world?"

"I've seen him once." Lu Chen nodded.

This left a very deep impression. There was pure darkness and terror outside. Even with his current strength, he was still a little scared.

His intuition told him that if he came into direct contact without any preparation, he might be completely corroded!

"You still remember the analogy I just made. If it continues, those things should be so-called moths."

"We don't know their true origins, nor do we know what their strength is. We only know that even the most evil things in the world are not as good as them."

The old man explained: "And they don't have any subjective consciousness. The purpose of their birth and all their actions seems to be just to eat, and their main food is those small worlds." "Although they cannot swallow them directly, they will first eat on the surface of those small worlds. Poke a hole and inject their different kinds of venom."

"In the past, there was no need to worry when there were still nutritional supplies from the real world. It would heal and repair the gaps on its own. But now that it has left its roots, the small world will only be corroded by venom step by step, and finally become a world where only pure energy remains. The empty shells are eaten by them one after another.”

"Isn't there anything you can do?" Thinking about that scene, Lu Chen felt horrified and a little confused.

"There is no way." The old man sighed, staring straight at him, "Because compared to reality, our existence is illusory. Once we lose the small world, we will become an empty realm without any strength. of waste.”

"This is true even for immortals! Even the stronger the strength, the greater the impact. On the contrary, those ant-like mortals will hardly be affected at all..."

He smiled self-deprecatingly.

Lu Chen felt it was a bit unbelievable, but he also felt that it was somewhat reasonable.

The old man continued to emphasize: "But you are different. You are 'real' and you will not be subject to any restrictions."

"Your realm, your strength, what you do, everything will become true."

"If I'm not wrong, your strength is not something you cultivated yourself."

Lu Chen hesitated, but nodded.

Anyway, it has come to this point, and there is no need to hide it anymore.

"Sure enough." The old man said slowly, "Because after the destruction of those small worlds, there is still a lot of energy that has not been stolen by the borers, so it will still remain in the trunks."

"If this tree doesn't want those borers to eat the leaves and cause it to die, then it will definitely find a way to survive. The possible way is to find the right person, forcibly increase its strength, and let it slowly transform the real world and bring it closer The distance between the small world..."

"Although it is incredible to say that the awareness of self-rescue will be born in the real world, this is indeed a long-standing prophecy that exists in our fairy world."

"I used to think it was just a lie that left a glimmer of hope, but now it seems..."

Lu Chen probably understood somewhat.

To put it simply, something similar to the will of the world in the real world allows one to save the world, and not just one, but possibly countless small worlds.

Because saving these small worlds is equivalent to saving the real world itself.

The various strange and extraordinary abilities that appeared out of nowhere in him, as well as the huge energy that promoted him to the stage of divine transformation, all came from those small worlds that had been destroyed.

Perhaps there once was a small world dominated by vampires, with a kingdom of wizards, a city with superpowers, and of course a prosperous world of immortal cultivators...

But with each one destroyed, the only evidence that can prove their existence now is these abilities in one's own body.

Suddenly I felt a little sad.

"So my mission is to improve the extraordinary level of the real world? Don't let the gap between the small world and the real world be too big?"

Regarding his summary, the old man nodded and shook his head.

"You can say that, but according to my guess, this may be just one of the purposes. In addition, you also need to use your true specialness to save those small worlds."

"It's like my little world now."

"Their future and lives...all depend on you..."

The old man sighed.

"This is all I know. I hope it can be of some help to you. I believe that since the real world has chosen you, you must have your own uniqueness."

Lu Chen felt a little confused.

After all, he didn't understand the world crisis at all when he first started, and he was just playing around casually. Only now did he realize that he had unintentionally shouldered such a heavy burden.

"By the way, I have one last thing to ask you." The old man suddenly said sincerely, "I have completely blocked Shu Jianying's perception with those words just now. He will not know any of your secrets. Please send him to Go back to the real world, I owe him so much, this is the last thing I can do for him."

"He...you caught him from the real world?" Lu Chen thought about what he said just now, and immediately realized the key to it, his eyes changed slightly.

I thought it was just an ordinary time-travel incident, like a common dump truck time-travel, or someone dying while saving someone, but now it seems that it is not that pure.

The old man nodded as if he was admitting guilt, with a hint of guilt on his face.

"The problem of Small World appeared a long time ago, but it was not that serious at first. We think there may be a chance to save it."

"Especially based on the content of the prophecy, we believed that the opportunity for change lies in the real world. So we used various means and finally succeeded in attracting people from the real world."

"Unfortunately……"

He let out a long sigh.

"We were all wrong."

"Although they can bring some changes to our small world, their fate of destruction has not changed. On the contrary, it is because of our greed and selfishness that they are separated from their loved ones, and they may never be able to see each other again forever."

Compared with those travelers who have long since died in "foreign lands", Shu Jianying may be considered lucky.

Finally, when there were only a few decades left in his life, he managed to survive and was able to return to his hometown and see his parents again.

But what is equally sad is that he may never know that this time travel that has fooled him for his whole life is actually a conspiracy personally created by the Fire Feather Immortal who is his brother-in-law.

"I will send him back." Lu Chen nodded with a complicated mood.

After all, it was already decided, and now his decision has been strengthened.

The old man seemed to have let go of his last worry and breathed a sigh of relief.

In the end, he bowed deeply to him.

"Senior, why is this..."

After all, he shouldn't be the one who really wants to apologize, right?

"I just want to do the last thing I can do that is beneficial to people."

The old man said in a deep voice.

"Actually, I know that if I follow Brother Shu back to the real world, it won't take long for my soul to disappear. After all, reality will not allow such an illusory existence like me."

"The bento will be my final compensation for it."

"But now, maybe my strength may still have a final use."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen suddenly saw a faint golden light float out of the other party's body and quickly flew in front of him.

"Take it."

Lu Chen was just wary, but then he realized it was unnecessary.

Because what the other party passed over was a pure energy body.

"This is... your lifelong cultivation and all your understanding?!"

He was shocked by this generous gift.
