Chapter 1373: Chapter 421: How can you be sure that the world you live in is real?_2 Chapter 1373: Chapter 421: How can you be sure that the world you live in is real?_2 Just now I wasn’t entirely sure, but now I’m certain.
Watching Leonard Churchill furrow his brow in deep thought, Pursuer of Light Farlo spoke in a calm tone, “Are you wondering why I am aware that I am in the Alternate Dinsion, without having my cognition altered by the Spatial Will?”
Facing such a senior, Leonard Churchill had nothing to hide, “Yes. Would you please enlighten .”
Since the other party could hear what he said, there was nothing that needed to be avoided anymore.
Although wearing a mask, Leonard Churchill saw, through the eye holes of the mask, a pair of profound eyes that seed to penetrate all the secrets of the world.
Upon hearing this question, Pursuer of Light Farlo smiled mysteriously, “You…”
He didn’t answer directly but instead, looking up with a smile, asked slowly and with a calm voice, “How can you be sure that you are truly alive? Or rather, how can you be certain that the world you live in is the real world?”
The mont these words were uttered, though the voice was not loud, it burst like thunder in his ears.
Leonard Churchill was stunned on the spot.
He had assud that the other party could detect the Alternate Dinsion possibly due to so logical flaw in the universe.
He hadn’t expected such a question.
To the average person, this seemingly simple yet absurd question would likely be hard to grasp.
However, not only had Leonard Churchill traveled through worlds, but he had also crossed through ti!
This question had once troubled him: what, in essence, is the world?
Now, hearing Pursuer of Light Faro’s question, Leonard Churchill felt as if a certain deep-seated cognition in his soul had been touched.
Exactly!
How can I be certain that I’m in the real world?
Could it be that I am in an Alternate Dinsion with ‘Adventurers’ participating and I am a Non-Player Character?
Is it just because a Spatial Will’s patch makes completely believe that my world’s logic is self-consistent and real?
…
This question seed to turn the roles around.
Just like the scene before him.
An “Adventurer” asked a question.
Leonard Churchill began to doubt his own existence.
Yet, upon further thought, he couldn’t affirm whether he was in the real world!
Lately, he had been spending ti in the Dreamland World every day. In that world, all human perceptions can be simulated through the Spirit!
People indulging in dreams would also feel that their world is real.
If the dream doesn’t end, then that illusory world remains real.
So…
Is the reality I believe in truly existent?
If it is real, how can I prove it?
A myriad of thoughts suddenly sprang up in Leonard Churchill’s mind.
But no matter how he deduced, he couldn’t prove it.
Pursuer of Light Faro glanced at Leonard Churchill; a wise light flickered in his eyes, clearly noting that the other was in a state of sudden enlightennt, and he inwardly praised him.
He continued saying, “I am a Bard. In my tales, I’ve written many stories that are rather interesting. And in the stories, those who listen to my tales in the tavern co to life in the eyes of others. Moreover, I can materialize them into the real world, allowing them to live just as real humans do. So… are the characters in my stories truly alive? Is the world in my stories truly existent?”
“To the characters in the novel, the novel’s world is real. Does that make it unquestionably unreal to the reader?”
“If a novel’s world is logically consistent and has perfect Universe Laws, then what makes it different from the real world?”
“Alternate Dinsion is the sa. How can you be sure that you are not in another Alternate Dinsion?”
“…”
Leonard Churchill had seen this ability before.
Noah Wright had once created “Mushroomhead” using his own power.
Upon hearing this, Leonard Churchill felt as if so boundaries of his cognition were beginning to blur.
He even started to doubt whether he was now in the Alternate Dinsion.
It felt as though his own worldview had been shattered by soone.
Shattered into fragnts scattered all over the place.
“Such a fascinating world… how can I not prove that it truly exists…”
“If the world is not real, then do I truly exist?”
“Then, where does the aning of life lie?”
“…”
At this mont, everything in the world beca unreal.
Disheartened.
Leonard Churchill felt like a sun being extinguished, slowly sinking into endless darkness.
It was a thought even more despairing than death.
He couldn’t find the direction and was lost in the endless dark.
Yet his pursuit of truth, deep in his heart, made him start collecting the fragnts bit by bit, trying to piece together his world again.
A new world, a real one.
…
Ti passed in an indistinguishable chaos.
It seed like a mont, yet also like an eternity.
In Leonard Churchill’s mind, “I Am the World” operated automatically, deducing countless logical threads.
At first it was just one thread, stretching out endlessly.
But it wasn’t enough.
Then it beca a net.
Still not enough.
And then…
He felt as if he were a sun, whose radiance illuminated the entire world.
His thoughts continued to deduce, growing fainter like dimming light, but as long as he remained within the circle of light, it represented a world he could comprehend… a world of truth.
Those logical constructs seed to build a universe, small perhaps, but at this mont, Leonard Churchill felt as if he had finally grasped the sensation of controlling a universe.
Unaware, Enlightennt prompted, “You’ve gained insight, ‘I am the World’ experience 333, proficiency level 4, and you’ve comprehended ‘Cognition Domain.'”
