All-out Horror Survival: My Awakening Skill Point Allocation Sequence!

When Zheng Sheng suddenly asked him a question, the Black Dragon was clearly taken aback, but he had obviously prepared his answer beforehand.

"Do you think I don't want to go?"

The black dragon suddenly struggled wildly, causing the entire interior of the pagoda to shake violently. The ground trembled, and the densely packed rune chains burst forth with golden light, binding him tightly to the bronze pillar.

"The Heavenly Kingdom of the Divine Tree has its own rules, and I am sealed here by those rules. If I could leave, I would have left long ago!"

"Why do I need to ask you for help now!"

The violently shaking pagoda quickly calmed down. After struggling for only a moment, the black dragon slumped weakly onto the bronze pillar, as if all its strength had been drained.

"We don't have much time left. If you refuse to cooperate with me, neither of us will escape this heaven."

"And you'll definitely die before me!"

The black dragon stared at Zheng Sheng, waiting for his reply, but Zheng Sheng was clearly more wary than he had expected; he wanted to know more about the divine tree.

"I can help you," Zheng Sheng said slowly. "However, I still have a few questions. If you can answer them for me, I'll agree to cooperate with you."

The black dragon nodded. "I can tell you anything you want to know, but you'd better hurry. You must return to Heaven before the aftershocks of the earthquake disappear, or the divine tree will discover us both."

Zheng Sheng nodded and asked the first question without any hesitation.

"I want to know, what exactly is Heaven?"

"Why does it feel so real there? I can feel that the people there all have their own independent thoughts. They don't seem like puppets or illusions. It's just like the real world."

"But if the Divine Tree can really create a world, that ability is terrifying!"

The black dragon suddenly shook its head.

"Actually, I'm not sure what heaven is either."

"This is the first time I've ever seen such a strange realm. It completely shattered my understanding of strange realms. Even when I first entered the Heavenly Kingdom, I almost thought this was the real world."

"For an ordinary person, this place is probably no different from the real world."

"But a fake is a fake!"

"Strong individuals like us, after staying in there for a while, will always find a lot of things out of place. Besides, you've never left Lan City, have you?"

Although the black dragon only said half of what he meant, Zheng Sheng instantly understood his meaning.

"You're right, I never left Lan City from beginning to end. Even if this city is incredibly real, it's still just a part of it!"

"No wonder, no wonder the more I tried to leave Lan City, the more confused I became, and I had no memory of anything outside of Lan City."

Zheng Sheng quickly recalled all the scenes after entering Heaven in his mind.

At the time, he was only focused on getting out of Lanzhou, which resulted in various obstacles.

Whether it was the survivors he brought with him, the military, or his abnormal physical condition, they were all using various methods to prevent him from leaving.

He felt normal when he was in heaven, but after coming into this pagoda, most of his suppressed thoughts and logic have been restored.

At the time, he thought that his headache and confusion were caused by an overdose of black tendon pills, but now he realizes that there are many flaws in his thinking.

The system has already given me bonus points, so how could there still be such strong side effects?

It seems that the Heavenly Kingdom's rules were behind all this trouble!

"So later I pretended to believe that this was reality and stopped preparing to leave Lan City, and the oppression of Heaven actually lessened."

Moreover, since entering heaven, he has forgotten many important things.

For example, if he has a system, and really wants to confirm whether this is the real world, he only needs to use the system to find anyone and add some information to confirm it.

But in heaven, he actually forgot such an important thing!

Seeing Zheng Sheng's sudden realization, the black dragon suddenly said, "This Heavenly Kingdom is indeed terrifying. I don't know how the Divine Tree did it, but this Lan City is almost identical to the Lan City in the real world."

"It's only at the Nightmare level right now. If it really advances to the fourth-tier Calamity Beast, then it might be impossible to tell the difference between the real and the fake."

"I even suspect that if the Divine Tree were to advance to the fifth tier, the Divine Sleep level, it could truly create a heavenly world!"

Upon hearing Black Dragon's words, Zheng Sheng suddenly felt a chill run down his spine for some reason.

The third-tier nightmare-level Heaven had already created a city of millions that was almost as real as reality, and even he could hardly tell the difference between the real and the fake.

If a fifth-order heaven truly exists, what difference would it make from the real world?

Thinking about this, Zheng Sheng's heart remained unsettled for a long time.

At the same time, doubts arose in his mind: how did the divine tree do that? And why did it do that?

"Hurry up and ask the second question, let's hurry up," the black dragon urged, as the aftershocks of the earthquake had begun to weaken.

Zheng Sheng quickly regained his composure and asked the second question.

"You just said that if we want to escape Heaven, we must go to the third world where the Divine Tree's true form resides and find our physical bodies. What does that mean?"

The black dragon quickly explained, "The divine tree belongs to the 'strange' category among the strange. This kind of strangeness is different from other strangenesses. It generally does not move, but only continuously improves its strange domain and its rules in a fixed place."

"Therefore, the realm of the 'strange' is the most powerful of all the supernatural beings, and also the most difficult to kill!"

"To kill the 'monster,' you must find its true form, but its true form often doesn't exist in reality!"

"Based on my recent investigations, the entire Divine Tree is probably divided into three worlds."

"One is the anchor point connecting to reality: the Sacred Tree Forest."

"One is the Heavenly Kingdom we are in now, the Mysterious Realm created by the Divine Tree."

"There's one last one, which is the third inner world where the Divine Tree is located, and it's also where the Divine Tree's true form resides."

"And our physical bodies now have probably already been taken to the third inner world by the divine tree."

The black dragon continued.

"We are like reflections on a lake, like flowers in a mirror or the moon's reflection in water. No matter how the reflection on the water is damaged, it cannot affect the physical body on the shore."

"Therefore, we must release our physical bodies from the bonds on land, allow them to return to heaven, and then, through heaven, return to the sacred tree forest before we can leave!"

Zheng Sheng frowned slightly after listening; he roughly understood.

Simply put, it's about finding the sacred tree's home and taking it down!

"Did you understand?" the black dragon asked.

"Mm." Zheng Sheng nodded.

"Do you have any other questions? Time is running out."

"I have one last question."

Zheng Sheng suddenly looked at the black dragon in front of him with vigilance.

"Who exactly are you?"

If it really was an evil dragon suppressed a thousand years ago, why would it know so much? And it seems to have a great understanding of the Survival Highway and Sequence Awakening.

If Lan City is the heavenly kingdom of the divine tree and not the real world, then why is there a black dragon sealed for thousands of years under the White Pagoda?

These two are completely contradictory.

Black Dragon seemed to have anticipated Zheng Sheng's question, and quickly gave his answer with a hearty laugh.

"Since we're cooperating, there's no harm in telling you."

"I come from Xindu, and I am the captain of the Xindu Enforcement Team, a third-tier awakened being, Ma Jie!"
