Chapter 1405: 464. Game Causing Death


    The Assassin Angel’s few words carried strong persuasive power, and Nnd Lee spontaneously imagined the scene of a great battle amongst gods.


    At the end of his speech, the Assassin Angel added a few more sentences:


    “When I was sealed inside the brainstem, the part of my memory rted to true history was the primary target of the illusions. Hysteric Brain attempted to use the illusionary essence inherent in the brainstem to alter my perception of true memory, transforming me into a puppet controlled by Extraterrestrial Eternity.


    “To protect this memory, I did not share it with my avatars. Thus, only now can I restore the history that you and the Scroll Angel are missing.”


    In contemtion, Nnd Lee recalled the “Dn Paradise” he saw in the illusions.


    He pondered for a few seconds and finally decided toy out all his questions rted to the “Paradise”:


    ...


    “Your Excellency, just now you said that the illusions created by the brainstem were adapted from my memories. However, after I fell into Slumber, I saw a series of images that don’t seem to rte to my memories at all. It went like this…”


    Nnd Lee narrated the content he observed.


    Initially, the Assassin Angel clearly intended to reply to Nnd Lee with the standard “Don’t trust the illusions,” but upon hearing terms like “Dn Paradise,” “edge of the Universe,” and “survivors of the previous universal cycle,” His words halted, and an intense aura enveloped Him.


    “Are you saying you saw the entire process of the survivors from the previous universe cycle fighting against the cosmic copse?”


    “Yes,” Nnd Lee thought for a moment and said:


    “Right, I feel like I experienced twoyers of illusions. The firstyer is what I am describing to you now. In the secondyer of illusion, I found myself in a deste space. The spatialws there seemed different from the Cosmic Space we are in now; I could actually move in space with my physical body.


    “While I was looking for a way out, I found a palm-sized me, very simr to the rumored Fire of St. Din. Next to this me, there was also a ‘0’. After I touched the ‘0’, that space seemed to reset, and I returned to the ce where I began.”


    Nnd Lee looked at the contemtive Assassin Angel and said:


    “What truly puzzles me is that just as I was about to leave the firstyer of illusion for the second, I heard a voice. It told me that today’s Extraterrestrial Eternity members are simply ones who have forgotten their true origins and are eager to explore extraterrestrial space, while those we know as ne Core members are ones who have given up on exploring extraterrestrial space. The voice asked me what I would choose—to join Extraterrestrial Eternity, to control the Sacred Fire, control the ne Core or perhaps…”


    Nnd Lee was momentarily at a loss for words, unsure how to express the third option suggested by the voice.


    The voice had said exactly:


    Or perhaps to eliminate these remnants of Dn Paradise who should have died in thest universal cycle, and start your own new era?


    This statement was concise and clear, essentially meaning to kill all of the ne Core to clear the Universe.


    But the problem was, Nnd Lee wasn’t sure whether beings like the Assassin Angel and the Scroll Angel, angel-level entities, were members of Dn Paradise.


    What is Dn Paradise members’ specialty?


    Spatial folding.


    Do the Assassin Angel and the Scroll Angel possess abilities rted to “spatial folding”?


    Clearly, they do.


    So, if Nnd Lee proposed killing all members of Dn Paradise, wouldn’t that be akin to killing the Assassin Angel and others like Him?


    Such a provocative statement, Nnd Lee truly found it hard to voice.


    Just as Nnd Lee was about to change his words, the Assassin Angel said:


    “The third suggestion the voice gave you, was it to kill all the remnants of Dn Paradise, eliminating these survivors from the previous universal cycle?”


    Nnd Lee was slightly stunned:


    “Yes, that’s exactly what it said. Did you also hear this voice?”


    Recalling that the Assassin Angel had also been affected by the brainstem’s illusions, Nnd Lee began to have some guesswork.


    Soon his guesses were confirmed.


    “My experiences after being sealed by the brainstem are simr to yours. I also went through twoyers of illusions,” said the Assassin Angel:


    “The content of the firstyer of illusion I experienced matched yours. I observed how the members of the paradise avoided the catastrophic end and heard that sort of narrative speech. However, my secondyer of illusion was different from yours. I found myself surrounded by Extraterrestrial Eternity, constantly pursued by a multitude of demons, until you rescued me with a Ceremony.”


    “I see…” Nnd Lee mused:


    “That seems like the firstyer of illusion serves almost like a procedural oue. Everyone drawn into illusions by the brainstem must see this content. Do you think there is any credibility in this content?”


    The Assassin Angel slightly shook His head from side to side:


    “Absolutely not.”


    “Why would you say that?” Nnd Lee was somewhat astonished by the Assassin Angel’s decisive and firm attitude.


    The Assassin Angel exined:


    “You did not live during the era of the Supreme Star Pce, so naturally, you wouldn’t know that this content is actually an interlude animation from a game developed by the deities.”


    “Huh?” Nnd Lee’s eyes widened inplete surprise:


    “A game interlude animation?”


    “Yes,” continued the Assassin Angel:


    “As the Star Gods couldn’t trace the origin of the Sacred Fire, numerous spections inevitably emerged in the Star Pce. Many deities, based on their understanding of the origins of the Sacred Fire, crafted mythological stories. Thus numerous deities’ games came about. The illusions rted to ‘Dn Paradise’ that we seee from a game called ‘Dn Paradise’.”
