Simulates history, but Chongzhen is the Divine Emperor at the beginning

Chapter 201 As you wish!
Paradise in the West.

Zhou Zifang... or rather Zhou Liang, was sitting under an old crooked-necked tree with innate spiritual roots, sipping tea peacefully, and hanging from the innate spiritual root was a hemp rope made of the ultimate imperial weapon... The abstract atmosphere was simply overwhelming.

Don’t ask why there are old crooked trees and hemp ropes for hanging in the Western Paradise... The answer is that the Western Paradise is vast and has everything!

Next to Zhou Liang sat a man in a yellow robe. However, unlike Zhou Liang, the man in the yellow robe did not look peaceful, and even had a worried look on his face...

This man in yellow robe is naturally the Divine Emperor!

Seeing Zhou Liang's calm expression, the Divine Emperor finally couldn't help but speak:

"I say... why are you so careless? What if the you out there can't defeat the other me and loses?"

"lose?"

Zhou Liang couldn't help but chuckle:
"How can you lose?"

"During the brief time that I was with him, he was like me, and also like the Lord of Heaven and Earth in the Western Paradise!"

"He can freely mobilize the resources of the Western Heaven, and the power of heaven and earth is all in his body! And you, the one outside, are not as strong as me to begin with, not to mention that half of your status has been taken away by the strange power covering the world line..."

"It would be really strange if we could still lose."

Zhou Liang was obviously not worried at all.

After hearing his words, the Divine Emperor couldn't help but scratch his head and said:
"...So, can this Western Paradise that you imagined really be considered a separate world?"

This is really strange. It is obvious that "Western Paradise" is fake. It is just Zhou Liang's fantasy. Its essence is the same as the imagination and hallucination of those lunatics... But how could it come true?
Is it really possible for a mere mortal like Zhou Liang to master this great power of turning the virtual into the real and refining the false into the true?
The Divine Emperor was completely baffled by this...

Zhou Liang explained with a smile:
“It counts…but it doesn’t count.”

"Just like the imaginary world is to the real world, until you, as the master of heaven and earth, dies, the entire imaginary world will exist only for you. The things in the real world cannot have any effect on you."

"The relationship between the Western Paradise and the illusory world is like the relationship between the illusory world and the real world. The three are independent of each other..."

The Divine Emperor seemed to understand:

"According to what you said, doesn't that mean the three worlds are integrated together?"

Zhou Liang nodded.

The reason is so simple, this is a very strange "Jenga" pattern:

It is known that the real world is actually the result of two worlds superimposed on each other. It is formed by an illusory world opened up by the real Emperor Chongzhen after his death, which is superimposed on the real world.

Inside is the real Qing Dynasty, and outside is the Ming Dynasty imagined by Chongzhen.

And now, outside the Ming Dynasty, there is another layer of "Western Heaven" that belongs exclusively to Zhou Liang!
Three worlds stacked on top of each other, this is probably a rare thing in the fantasy world...

"But I still don't quite understand..."

As he listened, the Divine Emperor finally frowned:
"If, as you say, the Western Paradise and the Illusionary World are the same thing, then why are all the people in the Illusionary World created by the world itself, while the Western Paradise can pull people in from outside?"

"Wang Chengen was able to enter the illusory world because he, like me, is a primordial spirit, and so he can take refuge under my command."

"And you sent people from the illusory world to heaven, but you only needed to kill them... I'm puzzled. Those mortals don't have spirits or something like that to carry consciousness. What on earth did you, Zhou, send in from them?"

The Divine Emperor immediately grasped the crux of the matter:

At the mortal level, the carrier of consciousness is not actually some supernatural thing like the soul or spirit, but a real material brain!
Theoretically speaking, if you want to bring mortals into a new world, you can only bring their brains in, creating a "brain in a jar" appearance.

But Zhou Liang didn't care about the brain or the soul at all. He just needed to kill people... He didn't even need to do it himself. As long as the other party died, Zhou Liang would send him to paradise!

This isn't scientific at all, nor is it metaphysical... At least metaphysics still posits something like the soul to carry consciousness, but Paradise doesn't even talk about that...

Therefore, to the Divine Emperor, Zhou Liang's practice of sending all the people in the world to the Western Paradise was an outrageous operation that completely exceeded his worldview, and was tantamount to rubbing his three views on the ground!

The Divine Emperor was truly curious about this...

When Zhou Liang was asked this question, his expression finally changed!
But he regained his composure and continued to savor the fragrant tea in his cup… After a long while, he slowly said:

"I can't answer this question."

Can't answer?

The Divine Emperor was stunned and puzzled:

Why couldn't he answer this? Wasn't it just a matter of asking him to explain in detail how he saved all sentient beings and led all soulless mortals to the Western Paradise?

Everything has been done, and there is nothing left in the world worth hiding or being taboo about. Everyone has been saved in the happiest way possible, and will be infinitely happy from now on...

Why should I be embarrassed to say this? Why can't I say this? Isn't this a good thing? Is this also concealed?

The Divine Emperor was full of doubts.

But after he thought for a moment, his expression suddenly changed, as if he finally figured something out!
Then, he first looked at his own body in horror, and then looked at the people in the distance who were peacefully enjoying the paradise.

Finally, his horrified gaze rested on the "Savior" and "Elysian Heavenly Lord" who were calmly drinking tea before him...

At the same time, this originally compassionate saint also changed into another person in His eyes:
He is not a saint who can save the world, but a complete liar and butcher!
The holy light all over his body was stained with blood, and the boundless golden light of merit around him turned into a torrent of resentment and karma. What he drank was not fragrant tea, but stinking blood...

The entire Western Paradise was stripped of its peaceful appearance, revealing a sea of ​​blood and corpses on the ground!
The river flowing with milk and honey has also become a river of blood in the underworld where billions of resentful souls wail endlessly...

How can this be the Western Paradise opened up by the savior saint?

This is clearly the Western Purgatory used by the cunning world-destroying demon to deceive himself and others!
However, locked up in this purgatory were not the endless number of deceived and unjustly killed people, but only him, himself, who was imprisoned here from beginning to end.

He couldn't save the world that was doomed to destruction. He simply took the sin of destroying the world on his own shoulders. While deceiving himself that he had saved the world, he imprisoned himself in this prison of nothingness for eternity, thus paying for his sins...

But just as the Emperor of Gods thought of this, the "Purgatory of Fraud" before him turned back into the happy and peaceful "Western Paradise"!
No, this is not purgatory, but a real paradise!
As long as the people living in it are willing to believe in its existence, then it really exists. As long as everyone believes that it is the paradise, then it is the paradise!

It is a product of fantasy, and there is no truth or falsehood... Perhaps, it is both true and false... It is both purgatory and paradise!
As long as you are willing to believe...

The Divine Emperor paused for a long time, and finally sighed:
"I...understand."

The holy Tianzun smiled, took a sip of the fragrant tea in the cup, and nodded:
"Thank you."

It’s all in the tea…

……

At the same time, the earth-shaking battle outside finally came to an end!

As the sharp sword light flashed, the true God Emperor gradually lost his strength, and the balance of victory slowly but steadily tilted towards Zhou Liang...

Zhou Liang in the West seemed to have seen this scene as well, so he sighed and slowly put down his teacup.

"When falsehood becomes true, truth is also false, and there is nothing but nothingness..."

"No matter what, the real world must break free from my fate... The other me can't accept this false perfection that seems real, yet fake. What he wants is true perfection, and only true perfection."

"The true perfect ending has arrived as he wished..."

After straightening his robe, Zhou Liang... Zhou Zifang stood up from under the old crooked tree, with the most sincere smile on his face.

The moment the real Zhou Liang chopped down the Divine Emperor, he appeared in front of Zhou Liang silently.

This was also the last time the two sides met...

Looking at the victorious Zhou Liang in front of him, Zhou Zifang, with mixed feelings, offered him the most sincere congratulations:
"Congratulations……"

"Everything is as you wish!"
