“The World Tree... roots?”
Minchen lowered his hands and smiled slightly.
“Yes, although it may sound a bit unclear, since you have already delved into the Illusionary Realm, with Miss Violet’s wisdom, you should be able to guess what that place is.”
Not paying attention to the young man’s seemingly testing manner, the priestess’s clear silver-blue eyes t his, and a flash of brilliance seed to pass between them.
“The Basic World— 【Upper Dinsional Realm】 and 【Lower Dinsional Realm】?”
“Exactly!”
The gatekeeper snapped his fingers in admiration, nodding in agreent.
“That’s right! But to be precise, it should be the Elental World 【Lower Dinsional Realm】. According to our discussions and research, if we really compare the world to a tree, then the 【Lower Dinsional Realm】 can be seen as its trunk and roots, while the 【Upper Dinsional Realm】 is the place where the tree’s oxygen gathers. Uh, oxygen might be sothing Miss Violet cannot...”
“No worries, I understand.”
Reaching out to stop Minchen’s attempt at further lengthy explanations, the priestess suddenly made a surprising statent.
“By the way, I also seem to have a panel of sorts.”
The young man’s expression, ready to launch into a lengthy discourse, instantly froze on his face.
“Wait, wait! Miss Violet, didn’t you say you didn’t encounter the 【Will of the World】 when you crossed over? And clearly, you’re not from the ga... why would you have...”
Understanding the priestess’s true thoughts, Minchen could naturally understand his current astonishnt. She just shook her head, signaling him to remain calm for now.
“Don’t worry, first of all, I have indeed never seen the so-called 【Will of the World】, and my arrival in this world was just as I described before—I was suddenly transported here. As for my panel, to be honest, although I have one, it’s more like a basic and almost useless decoration. It can’t do the things you ntioned, like exchanging supplies or equipnt, and there are no tasks popping up.”
Honestly, Violet had never quite understood the purpose of this panel that could only display her attributes and, at most, check the ti. Apart from that, it had lost all other functions that it had in the ga. But after hearing Minchen’s description, she seed to get it a bit.
Yes, it’s a discarded decoration.
This thing is likely a function that everyone carries with them when they cross over from the ga, rather than sothing granted by the so-called 【Will of the World】.
But for so reason, in Violet’s case, it had been abandoned, like... the connection between the host and the individual user had been one-sidedly severed.
With this in mind, the priestess decided to stop being secretive. She reached into her spatial backpack and took out a spirit artifact that was almost identical to the one Minchen had placed on the table earlier—the 【Silent Madonna】.
“Look, this should be enough to prove that there are so commonalities between us, right?”
“...The 【Silent Madonna】, a ga item...”
For the first ti, a particularly serious expression appeared on the gatekeeper’s face.
“Miss Violet, where did you get this? What exactly is your relationship with the 【Will of the World】?”
The black-haired girl smiled slightly.
“If I told you that everything the heavens said was a lie, and that I am also a 【Player】, would that make things clearer?”
“Player...?”
Minchen was montarily stunned, then smiled self-deprecatingly and shook his head.
“Miss Violet, don’t joke with . I don’t know where you got this information, but... you definitely can’t be a player.”
“Hehe, sorry about that, earlier I... eh...what?”
Just as she was about to smile and apologize for initially hiding the truth, Minchen’s sudden serious and confident deanor left the priestess stunned.
The young man spoke solemnly.
“The fact that you could easily crush Silvina ans your strength has already reached or far surpassed the divine realm. And a god-level being absolutely cannot travel between different worlds with their true body anymore. This is information directly confird by the 【Will of the World】 and has been verified multiple tis.”
“Initially, I thought perhaps the heaven you ntioned is a subspace dependent on this world, like the Illusionary Realm, or maybe, as a chosen powerful being, you had so private agreent with the 【Will of the World】. But to say you are a 【Player】, that would be an insult to my intelligence, wouldn’t it?”
“?”
Feeling bewildered by his confident deanor, Violet hurried to explain.
“Well, I really am a player, just like you, bringing my ga levels into this world, except my level is a bit higher...”
“Pff, hahaha! Alright, alright, Miss Violet, let’s stop with the clumsy jokes.”
As if hearing sothing amusing, Minchen couldn’t help but laugh, then quickly regained his serious deanor.
“You wouldn’t want to say that just because you leveled up high in the 【Illusory World】, all your equipnt, items, and personal attributes were transferred here unchanged when you crossed over, right?”
“Miss Violet, although I don’t quite understand why you suddenly told such an outrageous lie, how you learned about our past, or what kind of agreent or cooperation you reached with the 【Will of the World】, what you said is absolutely impossible. Do you think power is sothing that can be casually altered like numbers in a ga?”
The young man tapped the wooden table in front of him, producing a dull, real sound.
“This is a real world.”
“While it’s true we co from the ga, from the 【Illusory World】, we reached our current level only with the help of the 【Will of the World】. Every bit of our power has been honed through countless real battles and insights.”
“The 【Will of the World】 might be able to grant individuals transcendental strength, but for soone like you, who has already reached the divine realm and wields the power of laws, how could the world fabricate that? If it could, why wouldn’t it have given us this power from the start instead of making us spend years growing and getting stronger?”
“You say you have such power here because you leveled up a lot in the ga, so I ask you, Miss Violet, where did this power co from?”
Violet gradually fell silent.
Minchen’s doubts and rebuttals, although unexpected, were reasonable. To be honest, if she were in his position, she might have had the sa questions.
In fact, the situation of Minchen and the other few transmigrators was very different from hers. From his description, they ca here during the initial launch of the 【Illusory World】, but there was a gap of over three hundred years in ti.
Additionally, many differences, such as level restrictions and the player’s exclusive spatial backpack, were reasons Violet had hesitated to be honest before. After all, she couldn’t fully explain it herself.
The girl silently put the 【Silent Madonna】 artifact back into her backpack.
“Alright, alright, let’s just pretend I never said anything. Continuing this discussion won’t get us anywhere. By the way, Minchen, I’ve been aning to ask, what happened to your companions?”
The priestess’s earlier shocking remarks had clearly left the gatekeeper quite shaken. Although he had rebuffed her firmly, it was evident that he was sowhat unsettled. After a mont, Minchen gradually regained his composure and sighed, shaking his head.
“In the Illusionary Realm, we were unprepared and underestimated the enemy, resulting in a crushing defeat. Of the five of us, two died with no remains left, Cheese Mochi was critically injured, and Xiao Shuai and I were severely wounded. We barely managed to escape with her, using a precious spatial artifact.”
“Afterwards, Xiao Shuai took Cheese Mochi away from the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain to seek dical treatnt, while I stayed behind to recover. We had agreed to regroup after so ti, but since then, they have disappeared without a trace. Despite my efforts to have Tiyelu send her subordinates to search far and wide, we found no information.”
“I wanted to go look for them myself, but during the final battle in the Illusionary Realm, we killed the only offspring of the God of Blazing Flas. In his rage, he launched relentless assaults on the sanctuary for a long ti. Tiyelu fought him fiercely several tis, and I had to stay and support her.”
“Three hundred years passed in the blink of an eye. Now, even if I wanted to search for them, it would be nearly impossible to find any trace.”
“......”
The two transmigrators in the secret chamber fell silent for a long ti.
Finally, the priestess took out a thick book called the 【True Explanation of Famous Blades】 and an ancient notebook written in the language of Earth, placing them on the table with a slight twitch of her mouth.
“So, you really are the player nad 【Let Show Off】... right?”
“Pfft!!!”
