From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 405 Truth and Falsehood Without Attachment
The snow is still falling, and the river is still flowing quietly.

In the fleeting moment when dreams and reality intersected, You Ming's mind was thrown into chaos.

He sat quietly at the bow of the boat, but his eyes had lost all expression.

On one hand, he remembers his real life, more than fifty years of life.

On the other hand, he had already spent a thousand years in this illusory world. A thousand years of sacrifices and a thousand years of cultivation, as heavy as a mountain, completely buried the real memories of more than fifty years deep within.

Reality and illusion constantly collided and alternated in his heart, like two giant snakes tearing at each other.

"Who...am I really? Is this real? Or is it a dream?"

His spirit teetered on the brink of collapse.

At the same time, his spirituality surged to a high of 15 points because his cheat code [Equal Adjustment] was activated.

Raising one's spirituality to such a high level is itself a very dangerous thing.

Now, his mind is in a daze, almost without any limits. His inspiration surges like a tide, and his sea of ​​consciousness roars. His consciousness directly connects to the Heavenly Dao of the [Yellow Millet World], which is tantamount to courting death.

Countless secrets, countless rules, and countless fragments of laws surged into his mind like a torrent of stars.

The cycle of heaven and earth, the flow of cause and effect, the illusion and reality of mirages, the ever-changing nature of all things...

His body was being gradually assimilated by this world.

In this state, his form also became illusory, as if he were about to become a figure in a dream.

His terrifying spiritual power, along with his loss of composure, spread unchecked throughout the world.

Wherever his spirit touched, everything was assimilated into the world of illusion.

This was a real hardship for the cultivators undergoing the trials. They were supposed to be ready to leave the dream world after their thousand-year trial period was over, but with the changes in You Ming's body, they were also dragged back and forced to become part of this world, never to leave again.

"Who...am I, really?"

Youming seemed to stand on the dividing line between reality and dreams, like two bronze mirrors reflecting each other into emptiness.

He saw himself growing old in his dream while simultaneously thriving in reality.

He even saw more of himself, either as a child or as bones scattered among countless illusions.

All consciousness seemed to be torn into countless fragments, or sublimated into a boundless clear sea.

Chaos and clarity intertwine, illusion and reality overlap.

"Who am I?"

Unconsciously, Youming's spirituality continued to increase, from 15 points at the beginning to 20 points, and then to 27 points.

How terrifying is the spirituality of 27 points?

If 15 points of spirituality is downloading information from the Heavenly Dao, then 27 points of spirituality is like an abyss, an ocean, swallowing up the Heavenly Dao itself.

In the real world, let alone 27 points of spirituality, even 270 points of spirituality would not be enough to achieve this.

But this "Yellow Millet World" is just a dream world constructed by the Dragon Girl using the power of the Mirage Dragon.

Its status is still far removed from the real world.

"27 points of spirituality?"

"How could I have 27 points? With the equal adjustment, shouldn't my total spirituality be 15 points?"

In a daze, a thought flashed through You Ming's mind.

He remembered himself in the Yellow Millet World, where his spirituality, willpower, and comprehension were all at 5 points, while his appearance and fortune were at 0 points.

But looking at it now, he realized that his appearance and fortune were 5 and 7 respectively.

"I see."

“I finally understand.” You Ming’s eyes cleared instantly, as if a drowsy person was waking up from a struggle.

The cheat code is backward compatible, but not backward compatible. That is to say, its total points of five attributes are 27, which is compatible with the total points of 15 in the dream world.

However, if his total points are 15, then even in a dream, it is impossible for his total points to exceed 15.

He only needs to use the cheat code as an anchor point to distinguish between real and fake.

"However, that's no longer important."

"I am You Ming, whether it is true or false, it is all me."

Ming's consciousness no longer struggled. Fifty years of reality and a thousand years of dream coexisted in his heart at this moment, yet they no longer repelled each other.

At this moment, You Ming's spirituality, combined with the formidable spirit he had cultivated over a thousand years in his dreams, instantly enveloped the entire Yellow Millet World.

His powerful spirituality transformed into a barrier, hindering the connection between the Heavenly Dao and mortals in the Yellow Millet World.

Or rather, he wants to use his own power to replace the Heavenly Way of the Yellow Millet World and become the new Way.

At this moment, You Ming's youthful form overlapped with the figure of the Thousand-Year-Old Celestial Master, blurring the lines between reality and illusion, making it difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

What is true may not be true. What is false may not be false.

A dream is also a dream. A dream is also reality.

Many questions don't actually need answers.

Just like that mirage, it can be real yet illusory, and illusory yet real.

Just like a mirage, born from illusion, yet able to manifest in the world.

Perhaps, there is no boundary between truth and falsehood.

His state of mind suddenly soared in that instant, completely digesting the essence of the Yellow Millet World, and secretly aligning with the power of the Mirage Dragon.

"The truth and falsehood have been broken, right and wrong are no longer attached. I am the mirage dragon, I am the yellow millet."

You Ming suddenly laughed, and in an instant the void roared, and the Heavenly Dao of the Yellow Millet World trembled at this moment.

Between heaven and earth, a gray shadow suddenly appeared. Although its face was not visible, one could sense the joy within it.

Behind You Ming, buildings appeared in various shapes and sizes, flickering on and off, yet remaining constant.

The gray shadow suddenly leaped into the buildings, and in an instant, the buildings transformed into a magnificent scene, with thousands of towers and pavilions, resplendent in gold and green, sometimes real, sometimes illusory, rising with the waves and disappearing at will.

You Ming's body seemed to be constantly enlarging, while the whole world seemed to be constantly shrinking.

In an instant, he opened his eyes, which shone as brightly as two blazing suns.

The entire banquet hall in the Dragon Palace seemed to be instantly enveloped in white, but it all seemed like an illusion, as if nothing had happened.

You Ming did not get up, and the entire banquet was deathly silent.

All the cultivators were unconscious, except for one white-robed Taoist, who, because he possessed the strength of a True Immortal, did not enter the Yellow Millet World.

The moment You Ming opened his eyes, he opened his eyes as well.

He looked around with some suspicion. He had just felt an uncomfortable force, but he didn't know where it came from.

However, he soon noticed You Ming.

Because among all the cultivators present, only You Ming woke up.

Logically speaking, there's no such thing as early elimination in this dream world; when it's time to wake up, everyone wakes up together.

Why is it that only this kid woke up?

Has something happened?
