Wang Chong, his expression cold, immediately thrust a palm forward, sending a surge of Stellar Energy at 'Xu Qiqin'. Seeing that Wang Chong was insensible and unmoved, 'Xu Qiqin' finally scowled. Swish! Before Wang Chong's Stellar Energy could connect, she slid her body backward.
”Wang Chong, I didn't think that you would be so stubborn that my words would be of no use.”
'Xu Qiqin' put her back to the door, and her warm and virtuous demeanor completely vanished. Her voice became hoarse and brimming with hatred while her body erupted with a dreadful and frenzied killing intent.
The true Xu Qiqin would never have this sort of demeanor or be so terrifying. The identity of 'Xu Qiqin' collapsed into shambles.
”…But there's one thing I don't understand. This world is incredibly real, possessing everything the actual one does. There can't be any flaw, so how did you realize that this world was fake?” Xu Qiqin asked somewhat hysterically, staring at Wang Chong. Her appearance was shifting more and more, and even the color of her eyes had shifted to a dark green.
”Heh, is that so?”
Wang Chong sneered.
”The distance between the Western Regions and the capital is incredibly vast, and the journey takes more than a month. But the time between Gao Xianzhi's demotion and his arrival at the capital was a mere seven days. Not even if he flew would he be able to cover that distance, right?”
Buzz!
These words were like an arrow to the heart. 'Xu Qiqin', or rather the creator of this illusory world, was instantly struck dumb, rendered speechless and deflated like a punctured balloon.
While everything had a flaw, they had always firmly believed that their 'world' was so real that it was indistinguishable from reality.
But Wang Chong's words had shattered their confidence. They had never imagined that the critical flaw in their world was in something like this.
”Real is real and fake is fake. The true world doesn't merely have temperature, humidity, touch, smell, and taste. It also has things like space, distance, emotion, and reaction. No matter how real and complete you make it, there will inevitably be some flaw or gap. And a single flaw means that it's not real. What's fake will be fake forever!”
Wang Chong grinned.
Upon first awakening, he really had believed for a moment that he had fallen unconscious in his study for seven days and nights, and that his experience in the northwest had just been a dream. But in the end, Wang Chong still felt that something was wrong.
When Gao Xianzhi appeared with Cheng Qianli, Wang Chong instantly understood the truth.
It was just that such a realistic illusion was far too rare and incredible. It was so realistic that any formidable Psychic Energy practitioner, Wang Chong included, could only sigh in wonder and accept their inferiority. It was something that one could go an entire lifetime without encountering.
Moreover, even now, Wang Chong still did not know how his foe could lay down such a large-scale Psychic Energy Seal in the underground cave network. It was so powerful that it had even managed to pull as powerful a Psychic Energy expert as him into the illusory world.
His instinct made Wang Chong unwilling to miss out on this chance to learn and observe.
But once his assailant began to control his 'mother' and had him get married to Xu Qiqin, even disguising themselves as Xu Qiqin, he could no longer keep watching.
”…If my guess is right, my real body has been imprisoned by you and is still seventeen thousand meters beneath the earth in that underground cave network,” Wang Chong calmly remarked.
”To think it would be like this…”
'Xu Qiqin' was muttering to herself, oblivious to Wang Chong's words, and as she spoke, the entire room began to shake.
Ping! A porcelain flower vase on the table suddenly exploded, and then the wooden walls started to break apart from the base, cracks traveling across them with breathtaking speed.
Bang! A black sandalwood table only three or four steps away from Wang Chong suddenly exploded and vanished like a wisp of smoke.
More and more bizarre events began to happen in the room.
The various festive silks and curtains melted away like snow in the sun, and the large red candles began to go out.
And even more transformations were taking place.
A massive fissure cleaved across the room, sundering it and creating a massive gap between Wang Chong and Xu Qiqin.
This black fissure seemed bottomless, a giant maw that was opening wider and wider. The wooden planks and furniture tumbling into it became tiny specks.
At this moment, with Wang Chong's room as the center, the capital and the entire world began to groan and rumble. This hardy world had suddenly begun to show signs of collapsing.
The first to crumble was the sun in the sky. With a massive boom, that blazing sun that illuminated the world became a simple white light source that grew dimmer and dimmer.
