Poverty makes me capable of anything.

That means he's currently in a virtual conference room; otherwise, his unusual behavior would have been noticed long ago.

……

Anran is in trouble.

The psionic war golems she sent out were severely damaged as soon as they reached the vicinity of the colored area.

A blue wave is coming.

Like a giant, forcefully swung hand, it instantly blasted the dozens of psionic war puppets into pieces.

An Ran's eyelids twitched slightly; she had already seen people slowly flying out of the colored area.

It was Lumina!

"So it was you."

Lumina squinted her eyes.

She had already noticed the Lemetta staircase that An Ran was carrying.

The clever girl quickly sorted out her thoughts.

It seems Anran played a significant role in the deaths of Leander and Charlene.

Anran asked, "Where is Jill?"

Lumina said, "Right behind me."

An Ran angrily said, "Give her back to me."

Lumina laughed and said, "Sure, as long as you can get over me."

"Then let's give it a try!"

Lumina shook her head: "Your clone won't work. If your original body were here, there might be a chance."

She had an air of complete confidence and fearlessness.

Because she had already seized the initiative, that ancient door was slowly opening for her!

An Ran stared intently at Lumina, exhaling a breath to temporarily suppress the impulse within her:

"Why do you insist on opening the Gate of Ending? With your strength, you would be living a much more comfortable life than me if you just stayed peaceful and didn't cause any trouble."

Lumina shrugged: "Everyone needs to have some aspirations. As a mechanic, you must understand how enjoyable it is to pursue the truth."

"There's absolutely no room for negotiation?"

"No."

An Ran understood.

Now that things have come to this, all she can do is try her best!

Using the spatial passage built by the Hollow Stone, An Ran's main body "teleported" to the side of her clone.

Purple flames erupted from An's back, resembling wings formed from energy.

Correspondingly, strange phenomena also appeared behind Lumina.

But the strange phenomenon came from the colored area.

Like a volcanic eruption with churning lava, the halo emanating from the colored area possesses a breathtakingly vast presence.

"It's too late."

Lumina suddenly said.

Chapter 60 The Existing God

Lumina did not shy away from Anran's observation of that colored area.

Once this process begins, even if An Ran were to unleash her full power and instantly kill her, it would be unstoppable.

An Ran didn't rush to make a move.

She has received a notification from the game.

This is part of the main storyline!

Once the storyline is completed, the first part of the "Gate of the End" quest series will be finished.

The story will continue following the opening of the Gate of Ending.

It seems there's no way to stop it now.

An Ran assessed Lumina's strength. This girl was several levels stronger than Vesta. An Ran estimated that even if he went all out, he could only barely manage to fight her to a draw.

That depends on Lumina not holding back when facing Vesta.

An Ran frowned deeply.

"Just watch quietly."

Lumina's voice rang in An Ran's ears.

There was an unusual gentleness about him.

She didn't seem angry at all about what Anran had done.

An Ran sensed something was amiss from this indifferent attitude.

At this moment, a huge virtual screen suddenly appeared in front of Lumina. The screen faced Anran and displayed the changes that were taking place deep within the colored area.

Unlike the emptiness of other places, this place is like a dream island for docking.

Colorful.

Colorful light surged.

It evokes a sense of time flying by, much like the rapid movement of clouds in the sky.

"Ji'er!"

Anran spotted Jill, who was encased in a transparent bubble, at a glance.

Jill was restricted in her movements, and she trembled, causing the bubble to shake incessantly.

Fear is inevitable.

And not far from Jill, another person was floating.

He was curled up like a fetus.

There was no movement.

Countless colorful points of light surrounded his body.

The points of light came and went, creating a magnificent spectacle around the quiet person's body.

The world he lived in was clearly separate from the world Jill lived in.

"What are you looking for?" Anran asked Lumina.

Lumina answered generously: "The truth comes first, and then the facts."

"Ok?"

An Ran was stunned for a moment.

"the truth?"

“That’s right.” A captivating light shone in Lumina’s eyes. “Don’t you feel that the world we live in isn’t real?”

An Ran's pupils contracted slightly.

unreal.

In some respects, it's certainly not true.

Especially for those players, this is the game world!

An Ran never expected that Lumina would have such an idea.

Is it part of the game's design?

Or is it "autonomy"?

Not receiving a reply from An Ran, Lumina didn't care and continued, "The reason I think this way is because of the existence of this place."

Lumina pointed to the empty trench behind her.

“My brother and I discovered its existence a long time ago. We tried to figure out how it works, but unfortunately, no matter how we analyzed it, we couldn’t come to any conclusions. Then I realized that it’s impossible to draw any conclusions from a place where nothing exists.”

Lumina smiled slightly, paused, and continued, "Theoretically, a normal world should not have a place where nothing exists at all; it disrupts the balance."

Although Lumina had confused her a bit, An Ran still nodded and said, "You're right, but the premise is that you have to make sure that the theory you have is correct, or rather, complete."

“That’s right,” Lumina said. “So after that incident, I quickly overturned my own idea.”

A blank sheet of paper appeared in front of her.

"Let's assume this is the world we live in."

Next, Lumina extended her index finger and drew a line in the middle of the white paper.

A black line divides the white paper into two sections.

"And this is the nothingness we see before us."

"..."

Lumina smothered the blank sheet of paper and continued, "Let's talk about digital life again..."

An Ran suddenly remembered her number disk.

When she was building the digital world, she deliberately shaped it into a ring, with the undefined area at the center of the ring.

For numerical beings living in the digital disk, that undefined area is what is called "nothingness".

An Ran still remembers that in order to tell those digital beings the truth, she had specially opened a passage connecting the two ends of the ring in front of them.

This is what we call a miracle.

Although Lumina didn't elaborate, Anran already knew what she was searching for—
