He looked in horror at what emerged from the wind and waves.

He stared in amazement at a huge 'root' that looked like land above the empty ocean.

The roots seemed to fall from the sky with a loud bang.

And considering its huge size, one can imagine that this is definitely the root that can only be possessed by a giant tree that is big enough to support the entire world!

...

"According to the latest observation and analysis of the American satellite observatory, the surfaces of several planets that suddenly appeared at the edge of the solar system some time ago have been confirmed to have signs of life activities."

"Based on these signs, it is suspected that there were highly developed civilizations on these planets—"

"It's quite similar to Earth!"

Chapter 474: Origin and Destination, Fusion of Reality and Closure of the Ladder

【Yata Mirror (C+)】

[One of the three sacred artifacts in ancient Japanese mythology, it is the eye of the supreme god of Japan, Amaterasu, who gazes upon all things (primary information database is firm)]

[The mirror reflects everything, records the past and present, and can merge with sunlight to present the past that appeared under the sunlight, as well as what the person in front of the mirror wants to know. (Secondary Information Database Identification)]

[Source world: reality, item source (forger): Amaterasu (player code)]

【…】

As the information emerged from the mirror into Li Re's sight.

The blazing and shining sunlight that enveloped the palace gradually converged and disappeared in the center of 'Takama-ga-hara'. Disappearing along with it were not only the images of 'gods and Buddhas' recorded in the past that Li Re had just seen when he stepped into this place, but also the magnificent walls and beams on all four sides - all the prosperity was gone, as if it had experienced thousands or tens of thousands of years of wind and frost in an instant. The broken walls, collapsed beams, rotten and decayed corners, and various fragments of utensils that could be seen everywhere were the true appearance of this palace where the 'gods' were no longer there after the illusion had faded away.

Here, Li Re, facing the 'information', stepped to the relatively tidy throne where the 'Amaterasu' phantom had just sat, and grabbed the 'Yata Mirror' that recorded past images placed there with one hand - the so-called 'Yata' means eight inches, and also has the connotations of 'big' and 'beautiful'. The source of this word comes from Daxia - according to the vague statements made by the phantoms of the gods mentioned above, the professional strength of this group of 'ancient players' named after the gods of Takama-ga-hara all came from Daxia.

The same is obviously true of the Eight-foot Mirror.

Whether reality or myth.

Its prototype is the "water mirror" from ancient Daxia, which is an ancient bronze mirror that can clearly reflect everything.

The 'Yata Mirror' that Li Re was holding in his hand was a bronze mirror that was eight inches square. The mirror surface that was polished to be clear and bright did not reflect his own appearance - but the information left over from the past.

While grabbing the mirror, Li Re "identified" the prop itself.

The results of the identification also confirmed the authenticity of this information.

It confirms the truth that... Japan was just a 'copy world' in ancient times!

He sat in this position in silence for a long time.

To be honest, this truth was extremely shocking even for him!

After the incident of Zhang Ju, Li Re learned about the connection between real myths and ancient players from the "God of War" Zhang Guzhi, and has been dedicated to exploring this information. To this day, he has learned many secrets of the ancient times. After matching the deeds of gods and Buddhas with the deeds of ancient players one by one, he also felt that he was always getting closer to the "truth" - closer to the true nature of the existence of ancient players, closer to the real past where the ancient paradise once descended but suddenly left in the real world, and closer to the opportunities and dangers hidden in the real world.

But now.

But he suddenly realized...that he was wrong!

And it couldn't be more wrong.

This is so wrong!

"This is really... a huge joke!"

After sitting in silence for a long time, Li Re finally breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth - he laughed again!

"Ah, what's wrong?"

As if sensing the complicated thoughts in Li Re's mind, the evil ghost girl in a fluttering long skirt slowly appeared in front of him, her scarlet eyes filled with confusion - and worry.

"No, it's nothing."

Facing the worried eyes of the evil ghost girl, Li Re was still smiling. He said, "I just found... something very interesting!"

It's really fun.

But what’s interesting is not just the truth that Japan was once a copy world.

But more...

"Yes, Japan was once a dungeon world in ancient times, which actually makes sense - the foreign gods and ancient players who 'crossed the sea' in the archives handed down from the Sengen Shrine did not actually come across the sea, but entered the dungeon world through the passage of the paradise to perform tasks -"

The motivation is clear.

Just like myself.

Just like many players in reality now.

As if talking to himself, or as if deducing the process from the result, Li Re began to mutter to himself, his low words echoing in this dilapidated temple of the gods.

He also began to think and gradually things became clear.

He said, "I used to think that the mission carried out by the ancient player who came across the sea and sealed the power under Mount Fuji with the 'Yellow Spring Thunder God' only brought benefits to civilization in Japan. Now it seems that it is far more than that - because if Japan was just a separate copy world at that time, then the benefits might be to make up for the defects of the copy world."

"So from then on, the copy without defects became 'reality', and was connected to 'Paradise', and the first Paradise player appeared - 'Amenomichu'!"

Information, clues, context.

Everything corresponds to each other.

Everything, aligned one by one!

And after that?

After that...

Japan has not only become a 'reality'.

It is also more integrated with the reality of the ancient player who "crossed the sea".

Judging from the attitude of the gods and Buddhas, the origin of the ancient player is most likely the ancient Daxia! It is the "superior country" in their mouths!

The players from Daxia Kingdom brought them the power of paradise.

It can indeed be said that their power originated from 'Ancient Daxia'.

"Or maybe after the copy world becomes reality, it will merge with the original reality—"

"Or maybe...the integration of worlds is the main purpose of the paradise."

After all, Paradise has always been committed to the 'benefit' and 'evolution' of the world.

This is also true when looking at the world quests in various dungeons.

The best complement and evolution between worlds is neither perfect individual operation nor an unchanging internal cycle - but the gathering and fusion of the power of infinite worlds.

Gathered into a brand new 'paradise'.

This does not conflict with the conclusion reached by the "Great Magic Wizard" Vivian Alice.

This can better explain why after Paradise descended into reality, disaster missions occurred from time to time in which the copy world invaded reality.

It can explain why there are so many powers from different systems in the paradise flowing into reality.

Analyzing from the perspective of the park, this itself is a process of integration and convergence.

It's just that after the copy world becomes 'reality', it can accelerate this process - and also eliminate the collision it brings!

And from this perspective, we can also understand why there are "illegal players" in reality, a faction of players who are dedicated to guiding the copy world to invade reality - the behavior of the illegal player faction is also within the control of the paradise. Their ideas are not inconsistent with those of the paradise, but their behavior is more extreme than that of normal players.

But if it succeeds, the final result will actually be the same, the same fusion of "copy" and "reality".

However, in this process, many people will die due to the unresolved defects of the copy world.

Bringing huge turmoil to 'reality'!

Therefore, illegal players are also players of the park and can receive tasks from the park - even if those tasks are different from those of normal players and are extremely harmful to reality in the short term.

In comparison, the partial integration plan implemented by Qu Shenyin is actually a temporary obstacle - but it is only temporary. From a long-term perspective, a little bit of integration is still integration.

This can also explain the disaster that caused Amanohisahara's death - that was most likely the first invasion from other copy worlds that Japan encountered after it became a reality. In that invasion, countless original Japanese players were killed and injured. After that, that copy world merged with Japan.

That's why Amanohisahara could be so sure that something like this wouldn't happen again - at least not in the short term.

And this is the case in Japan.

The same should be true for Daxia.

The real world in ancient times was based on Daxia as the original "reality", and then merged with Japan, which was transformed from a copy into reality.

So based on this inference, was Daxia itself once a copy world?

What about other countries?

What about other areas on the real earth?

Is this also true for those planets that exist in 'outer space' and also in reality?

"Perhaps, this is also the reason why Phantom Stone Dragon once said that the reality I live in has five layers of 'boundary membranes', while the Abyss and the Fire World only have one layer of boundary membrane!"

A world has only one boundary membrane.

But if multiple worlds merge together.

It is perfectly reasonable to have multiple boundary membranes!

In addition, there is also a space called "Yellow Spring" underground in reality - it is very likely that the same principle applies here.

It is even possible that the reason why the real world is so huge and so vast, with not only the land under our feet but also the real starry sky above our heads, is because it itself is a "reality" that is a fusion of many copy worlds.

This kind of 'reality' makes us imagine how powerful their ancient existence was, and the huge impact they brought to later generations - no wonder in the mouths of 'Ame-no-Mikado' and 'Izanami', the growth of players in this era seems to be faster than that of ancient players in their era.

When they were still growing up, the world might not have been as integrated as it is today, nor did it have such a solid foundation in reality.

Naturally, it is impossible to have such a speed of development!

The conclusion drawn from this makes people feel that their worldview is subverted.

The final guess drawn from this is enough to make people shudder - Li Re sighed even more and became more interested.

He would never forget that even this kind of 'reality' that had developed to its extreme in ancient times eventually 'collapsed'.

The ancient players disappeared and the park was no longer connected to them.

It didn't come back until more than two years ago.

What happened in between that caused the 'reality' that had grown so strong and huge to be damaged and turned into a 'copy' again?

This is undoubtedly the crisis that Li Re wants to know about.

Yes.

Li Re, who was not limited by common sense, quickly accepted the view that "reality" was a fusion of the "reality" formed by multiple "copy worlds" that made up for their deficiencies.

It only took a short moment to go from shock to calmness!

"Are's words are so complicated... I don't understand." Listening to the man mumbling in front of her, the ghost girl stood in front of Li Re who was sitting on the broken throne. She blinked her beautiful ruby ​​eyes, and her pretty face did not change, but she looked very serious: "Although I don't understand, I will remember it--"

"I will remember every word that Ajie said."

"I will understand it sooner or later." She said seriously and firmly.

"Well, I believe you will understand it sooner or later." After sorting out everything, Li Re smiled immediately. He stretched out his empty hand and rubbed the long, straight black hair of the girl in front of him. Looking at Xing Gongyue's comfortable expression, he thought that "sooner or later" would not take too long... A Yue's self has been growing all the time. At this rate, he will soon be able to return to the "Mountain and Sea Realms" - to do the transformation task that will allow A Yue to completely possess the emotions and perceptions of ordinary people.

Thinking of this, Li Re turned his head and looked at the 'Yata Mirror' in his hand.

According to the database, this mirror records more than just the origin of Japan as a copy world - it should be able to record anything that exists under the sun.

Unfortunately...

"It can only be used once... and this CD is too long!"

[Yata Mirror (C+ rank item, used/cooling time: 26280 real time)]

Twenty-six thousand two hundred and eighty hours, that is three full years!

It can only be used once every three years.

It may not be long for those ancient players who obviously existed for a long time and were almost like gods and Buddhas in ancient times, but it is very long for Li Re.

He had been a park player for only six months.

It took just over two years for the real paradise to return.

But yes.

After all, this is only a C+ grade item... If it can be used infinitely, it would not only be C+ grade, but should reach C++ grade!
