Star Dome Railway, why are they also simulating!

[Until the last step before completely revealing the secrets of the star core. ]

Looking at the words on the light screen, Ron was stunned for a moment.

"What's going on? The last step before revealing the secret of the star core?"

Ron was puzzled. After using the knowledge about star cores provided by the Black Tower, his research had obviously not encountered too many obstacles and could proceed step by step. Why did it encounter obstacles at the end?

He frowned in confusion, watching the notes continue to pop up on the screen:

[While studying the core of a star, you continue to make progress, but some doubts always accumulate in your heart...]

[You find the existence of star cores too strange. You always feel that the existence of star cores violates all common sense. Even the records of the fundamental laws of the universe in the gift given to you by the Black Tower are violated by the star core.]

[You continue to uncover the mysteries of the star core, and continue to accumulate in your heart, and finally a question is outlined in your heart——]

[“Are star cores really substances that exist in this world?”]

[You have to have such doubts, because the existence of the star core itself seems to deny everything in this universe. It seems that it should not exist in this world at all...]

The text on the light screen faded away, and the dark red option box was slowly outlined on the light screen, as if it was surrounded by a mysterious fog. The text on it was not clear.

Gradually, as if blown by a breeze of knowledge, the mysterious mist was blown away by the breeze, and the options on it appeared clearly in front of Ron:

[The research has reached its end, and you are about to reveal the nature of the star core. ]

[But a trace of inexplicable panic emerged in your heart. As your research progressed, your doubts about the star core made you hesitate to reveal the nature of the star core.]

[Should I ignore this panic and directly reveal the nature of the star core to complete my research, or should I give up revealing everything about the star core and completely keep this knowledge that should remain secret? ]

[You must make a decision for this——]

[1. I have studied this far and you want me to stop? Stop, right?

Research on star cores is necessary. Yalilo-VI needs star cores, a perfect infinite energy source, as the greatest driving force to push the entire civilization into the interstellar. This is your best way to save Yalilo-VI. You cannot give up research on star cores.

You know that Yalilo-VI cannot do without this star core. For the future of this planet, you must not let the secret of the star core slip away from your hands. 】

[2. In the face of danger, it is necessary to retreat from the current.

Even though you know that this planet cannot do without the infinite energy brought by the star core, you still decide to reluctantly give up the star core research and give up everything that this star core can bring.

Since the existence of the star core is like denying everything in this sea of ​​stars, you are not prepared to unveil the misty veil of the star core and avoid opening the Pandora's box that could destroy Yalilo-VI...

You still have a lot of time, and there are many ways to save Yalilo-VI. You have every chance to find new ways. 】

Looking at the crimson option on the light screen, Ron didn't hesitate at all and immediately chose option number one.

He had long known that he would inevitably encounter danger as long as he continued his research, but he just didn't know what the danger was...

You know, he didn't fully utilize the gift from the Black Tower. According to previous inferences, even if there was danger, it should be a weaker one.

This possible crisis is something Ron must overcome. There is no way he will escape and choose option two.

The option box on the light screen faded, and a new note reappeared on it:

[You chose to take the risk and reveal the secrets of the star core. ]

[As a researcher, you cannot bear to give up your research and pursuit of truth because of an illusory threat.]

[You overcame the slight panic that arose in your heart, and without hesitation tore off the last layer of hazy veil on the star core, and explored the essence of the star core...]

【Three months passed quickly. 】

[During these three months, you have explored the star core in various ways, calculated the data of the star core many times, and conducted many experiments to avoid any problems with the conclusions you came up with.]

[But during these three months, hundreds of experimental records all point to one reality for you——]

[That is, the existence of star cores indeed violates all the basic theories of this sea of ​​stars. Even if you try to imitate the most basic structure of star cores and try to reconstruct another substance similar to star cores, it will only be completely annihilated in the real world and will not exist.]

[You know that the star core is just the seed of disaster sown by [Destruction] Nanook in the sea of ​​stars, but when you explore its truth, you can only find that it violates even the essence of the existence of imaginary energy. Even the destiny and imaginary energy that can explain everything cannot explain the existence of the star core...]

[This is what the star core is like. It naturally appears in this sea of ​​stars, and naturally goes against everything in this sea of ​​stars——]

[It is like a creation set by a higher-dimensional being. It exists because it is needed.]

[You have a vague feeling about this, and a puzzle emerges in your mind——]

[Perhaps... the existence of star cores is not unique. Perhaps you can find more existences like star cores? ]

[If so... Is everything in this sea of ​​stars the reality of your life, or is it a sea of ​​sand that can be stirred up at will and turned over and stirred up by people's hands? ]

[Questions about the truth are engraved in your heart, and you obtain the entry: "Explore the Truth (Red)"]

[Explore the truth: Everything in this sea of ​​stars is so real, countless creatures are swimming in this sea of ​​stars, life is shining brightly, civilization is shining and igniting sparks, everything is a miracle in this universe, a unique reality...but you have found a little bit of debris that shouldn't exist among all these realities.

Star core... Star core, this thing that denies the existence of everything in the world makes you wonder if there is something else in this sea of ​​​​stars that exists as unreasonably as the star core, or is simply like a game setting?

You decide to take a closer look at it all... a study that will take you a lifetime.

After loading this entry, you will not get any inherent bonus, but you will get a fixed event: "The truth is hard to find." 】

[The truth is hard to find: Every time you conduct a miracle research, the event "Exploring the Truth" will increase the completion degree. When the completion degree reaches the full value, the entry: "Exploring the Truth" will be completely replaced and upgraded to a new special entry.

During this period, your miracle triggering probability increases by 10%, and you will be more likely to trigger the research of dangerous technology. 】

Chapter 4 - Meeting with [Nothingness], Clarifying the True Heart (k)

Looking at the entries on the light screen, Ron was slightly stunned.

"This world... is fake?"

He murmured to himself, feeling a chill in his heart.

After traveling to this world, Ron has actually recognized the reality and accepted the fact that he has to live in this world as a time traveler.

Life in Beloberg was so real that Ron never thought that the world he lived in might not be real, but a ridiculous fake sea of ​​stars.

"No... we can't be sure so early, it's just a star core..."

Ron shook his head, trying to get rid of the confusion in his mind.

Star cores are special in themselves. As the seeds of disaster that [Destruction] Nanook uses to release them into the myriad worlds to destroy civilization, it is not impossible that they exist in such an unreasonable way.

Who knows if all the basic theories in this world will still be valid when reaching the level of Star God... The existence of Star God and destiny is irrational, so the existence of Star Core is also natural...

Ron comforted himself, but just thinking about it, he knew that he was just forcing himself to comfort himself. He couldn't prove that this world was not fake.

After all, how could he be sure that unreasonable existences such as Star Gods and Destiny were not arbitrary settings by unknown manipulators from higher dimensions?

After all, this world is just a mobile game he played before traveling through time. Although he has now traveled to the background world of this mobile game, who can say that the background world of this mobile game is real?

Ron had never thought that this world might be a false existence before, so he had never thought about it in this direction. But now that he started to think about it, he felt more and more that something was wrong. It felt like everything around him seemed to have no meaning of existence...

After all, even this universe itself is nothing but a falsehood. The essence of all reality is just an illusion. It is nothing but a setting arbitrarily tampered with by the controllers of higher dimensions, a graffiti arbitrarily altered, and a paragraph arbitrarily deleted from an article...

The confusion in Ron's mind did not disappear because of his actions. On the contrary, as thoughts lingered in his mind, the confusion became more and more serious, and for a moment he even felt an endless sense of emptiness.

"Existence is nothingness."

The falsity of this universe made Ron come to this conclusion in his heart.

Beyond the distant void of reality, at the end of the observable universe, chaotic darkness and nothingness linger in all realms. The terrifying dark evil current should have easily enveloped the universe, covering the stars with a layer of confused and empty black veil, but it stopped because of the laziness and emptiness of its owner. It was as sticky as silt, slowly surging outside the sea of ​​stars, setting off the dark stars that flickered with strange light in the endless darkness.

[Nothingness] IX, the opposite of all existence, the existence that denies all existence, the lord of nothingness on the dark side of the universe...

He opened his eyes unconsciously, and cast a dazed look at Ron across thousands of light years.

He didn't know what he was doing, nor why he looked at Ron, but the empty will and fear of falsehood attracted his attention. He just opened his eyes, and the echo of fate sounded in Ron's ears...

【Existence is nothingness.】

The grand will unconsciously whispered in Ron's ears, singing praises for the truth he realized.

The turbid stream of emptiness passed through Ron's body in an instant. He felt as if his body had lost all its strength in an instant, as if he was filled with hydrogen. His consciousness floated lightly in the sea of ​​stars. He opened his eyes and saw thousands of fantasies. The stars were swaying in the dark night. The quiet sea of ​​stars was swallowed by the chaotic nothingness. All the warmth returned to coldness and turned into a meaningless nothingness...

Seeing this vast expanse of empty starry sky, Ron couldn't help but feel a little absurd for a moment -

If all this is nothing but false nothingness, then what is the point of doing all this?

But even though he questioned himself like this and felt that everything was meaningless, he could never really accept that everything was nothingness and existence was meaningless...

He wandered in this empty sea of ​​stars, his hands passing through the empty cold and turbid current, but he was unable to really wash away the self-will in Ron's heart and make him lose the last bit of his original heart.

He felt all this absurd nothingness, but the confusion and fear that kept surging in his heart gradually dissipated at this moment, and he became calm along with the cold nothingness around him.

He thought, he dissected…he discovered a truth.

Even if the universe is empty and everything is false, all his actions are not meaningless.

Why should he care whether the world he lives in is real?

He stood on the land of Beloberg, with the unique cold wind of Yalilo-VI blowing around him, the sun in the sky emitting a cold light, and everything in the world was cold and alive...

He would walk past the Golden Opera House, his ears would catch the sounds of the opera; he would walk past Alexandra Square, his eyes would catch the colors of the Monument of Eternal Winter;

Walking on this planet with free will, he can grasp his own destiny and hold his future tightly in his hands.

That's enough.

Even if the underlying color of this world is truly false, the colors painted on it cannot be false...Everything Ron experienced in this sea of ​​stars can definitely not be called meaningless nothingness.

Faced with the falsity of the universe, would he become depressed and decide to let himself perish, completely falling into the abyss of nothingness and becoming a self-destructor with no will?

No, Ron is not like that...

Faced with this possibly fake world, Ron will only try to break this fakeness and find a way to turn this sea of ​​stars into reality.

He is never afraid of a crisis.

He always faces challenges.

Gradually becoming aware of his true feelings, Ron closed his eyes, feeling the chill flowing around him in this empty and cold sea of ​​stars, but he could not extinguish the raging fire burning in his heart.

He opened his eyes and saw that in the deep dark galaxy within him, not far away there was a huge dark star with sticky chaotic black mud surging around it. He opened his eyes unconsciously, and two completely irregular round holes opened on the body that was almost the size of a galaxy, revealing a hazy chaotic atmosphere.

【Nothingness】IX.

As the opposite of all existence, the strongest among the Star Gods... Ron had never set foot on the journey of [Nothingness] in the simulation, but because he realized the nothingness of this universe, he successfully met the Star God in reality at this moment.

After a while, this deep and cold atmosphere was unable to erode the blazing fire in Ron's heart, unable to make him become decadent and self-destructive. It completely faded away beside Ron, and along with [Nothingness] IX, it seemed as if it was covered with a layer of black gauze and gradually disappeared.

Ron shook his head and came to his senses. He found himself still sitting on the bench in his old apartment. There was no longer the dark and cold sea of ​​stars around him, nor was there the blind and foolish star god whose nothingness caused everything to disappear...

Ron calmly felt the changes happening to himself... Calm imaginary energy continuously flowed out from the fate of [nothingness], and was manipulated at will in Ron's hands, becoming Ron's best helper.

With the help of the life simulation game, he successfully embarked on a journey of destiny with his own strength...

Feeling the power filling his body, Ron couldn't help but smile bitterly:

"I didn't expect that the first time I relied on my own strength to embark on my destiny in reality would be like this..."

"But what is going on now? I have already realized that the universe is not nothingness and refuted the concept of [Nothingness] IX, so why did I still become a destiny walker of [Nothingness]?"

"Could it be that......"

Ron stroked his chin thoughtfully. "Is it because the philosophy of the faction is too similar to that of Chaos Doctor? To interpret 'existence' in another way, this is the power of the futile resistance to the fate of nothingness..."

He briefly analyzed how he had entered the fate of [Nothingness] in reality, but did not relax the simulation on the light screen. Instead, he immediately clicked on the light screen in front of him to continue the simulation.

Although he didn't say it, Ron now took this simulation very seriously.

Although he no longer cares whether this sea of ​​stars is fake or not, and even if it is fake, it will not have much impact on Ron's mentality, but out of his curiosity for the truth and the desire to change everything, Ron still wants to find out where the falsehood of this sea of ​​stars comes from.

After all, only by knowing where this falsehood comes from and why the essence of this world is nothing but false nothingness can we find a way to solve these falsehoods...

Ron is not one to sit back and wait for death.

He thought silently in his heart, and saw the words on the light screen fade away, and a new picture was emerging on it:

[You were greatly shocked by the results of your research on the star core, but because of your years of scientific research, the results of your research on the star core did not crush you at the first time.]

[You still maintain your endless enthusiasm for science, and disdain the results that are all meaningless——]

[For you, whether this universe is fake or not is meaningless to you...]

[You only believe in your own hands, the experimental conclusions produced by these hands, and the truths obtained from your own research.]

【No one can stop you in your search for truth. 】
