Chapter 238: Breaking the Illusion

Wei Huo walked forward and arrived in front of the floating golden book. The book was surging with the aura of Rules. It was a nomological creation. Wei Huo reached out to touch it, but he could not. It was as if the book was an illusion, but the aura of the book was real. Rule Power was indeed flowing.

Wei Huo retracted his hand. He knew that he would never be able to obtain the Dao Scripture, as this was an Illusion Realm. No matter how realistic and perfect the Illusion Realm was, it could not reflect what Wei Huo had never seen or imagined.

The Dao Scripture was a cultivation technique that could refine Qi into G.o.d. It was an extraordinary cultivation technique. Wei Huo could not imagine what its content was. That was why the real Dao Scripture would not appear in the Illusion Realm.

Everything there was fake. Wei Huo left the Heavenly Palace, and the scenery around him shattered. Wei Huo woke up again.

He realized that he was in a sleeping bag. When he got out of the sleeping bag, he realized that he was in the service area of a highway. It was the second day of the time halt. Everything that he had experienced had been just a dream. Wei Huo was still in a trance. This was a dream!

It was not as if Wei Huo had never experienced three or four levels of dreams before. Sometimes, he would wake up in the dormitory to wash his face and brush his teeth. However, he would wake up again all of a sudden and realize that he was at home. Before he could get up, he would wake up in a hotel. He would stretch his back and touch another person. He would then be shocked when he woke up and realized that he was sleeping on a tree.

In these dreams within a dream, he dreamed that he was sleeping. It was said that this dream could give him double or triple the average rest effect.

Wei Huo woke up and realized that he still had to complete the quest of making hunting tools. He hesitated when he saw the quest and the familiar yet unfamiliar surroundings.

Perhaps this is a standalone game. I’m only back at the save point.

However, if this world was really a standalone game, the script was too weak.

Wei Huo did not think too much about it. Even though he had lost everything, he continued moving forward to reach his goal. However, this time, Wei Huo made some different choices. He was still very familiar with the Qi Cultivation Skills. That was why his cultivation time had been greatly reduced and his strength had improved rapidly.

When the temperature in the Northern Continent plummeted, he helped the Tree-Men escape the calamity. With his help, the panda and tiger became Rare-ranked creatures and obtained a longer lifespan. As he was very familiar with the location of the heritage cave, he also successfully obtained the Qi Cultivation heritage along with Lu Qiqi.

This was a hopeless situation. Everything was perfect. 500 years later, when the time halt recovered, Wei Huo had already built a huge empire. As soon as the players appeared, they were all killed by Wei Huo. Then, he unified the whole planet. All the races that were unhappy with his rule were destroyed. The Demon Realm’s army attacked and killed everyone. In the end, Wei Huo set out to conquer the whole universe.

However, in the end, he woke up again. The reason was that Illusion Realm was unable to show scenes beyond the Solar System. Humans had yet to set foot outside the Solar System. The real outside world was only in the imagination of humans.

How many civilizations, magnificent scenes, and powerful experts existed in the vast universe? Everything was unknown and unimaginable. An unimaginable world could not be described.

That was why Wei Huo “woke up” again.

“Hey, young man, do you want to buy an apple?”

Wei Huo was a little confused. At that moment, he was walking back home from school. He was carrying a school bag, and there were fruit vendors on both sides of the street.

A fruit vendor was shouting, but he suddenly changed the way he addressed Wei Huo. “Hey handsome, do you want to buy an apple?”

A plain-looking male student stopped in his tracks and walked toward the fruit stall. He said, “Alright, I’ll buy two.”

On the other side, another auntie selling bananas shouted at the young man who was pa.s.sing by. “Hey handsome, do you want bananas?”

The plain-looking male student beside Wei Huo lifted his head and told the auntie, “Yes, wait.”

The auntie was confused. I was not talking to you.

Wei Huo looked at the boy. For some reason, he felt that his shameless look was familiar, but he could not remember who it was.

The boy noticed Wei Huo after buying the fruit. He looked shocked. “It’s you, Zhou Huo. Why are you standing behind me?”

Wei Huo: “…”

Even in the Illusion Realm, do people still not remember my surname?

Wei Huo knew that this was a new beginning. A new life.

This was a world that had not been halted by time. Wei Huo experienced the most ordinary life. However, he had a good friend. Although this guy could not remember his surname at first, their friends.h.i.+p still lasted until the day his friend died.

Wei Huo woke up again. However, unlike before, he was awakened because of poverty.

This time, no one had come to adopt him. He grew up in an orphanage.

Now, he realized that children who grew up in an orphanage would either grow up to be helpful and grateful or become people who hated society and had hatred in their hearts.

This time, Wei Huo was no longer obsessed with getting ahead of himself. He wanted to experience all sorts of different lives. There were ways to survive even when one was poor.

Wei Huo ‘woke up’ again and again and lived a different life each time. He met different people and experienced different things. He had a world-shaking life or a normal life and he experienced loneliness or had an abundance of children and grandchildren.

He experienced all sorts of lives until he finally understood how to break through reality.

If one maintained one’s true self, one’s heart would not move according to one’s imagination. One would do what one should do, regardless of whether they were in the real world or in an illusionary realm. One would still do what one should do and not get lost in it.

Wei Huo finally opened his eyes after an unknown period. He realized that he was sitting cross-legged in the waters of the Ascension Pond. His eyes emitted a dazzling golden light, and his pupils turned golden.

It was the Eye of Illusion Destruction. Only a person who had broken through all illusions could have such eyes. It could see through all illusions and penetrate one’s essence. It was even more powerful than Sun Wukong’s golden-gaze fiery-eyes.

Wei Huo thought of the Legendary G.o.d Annihilating Beast. It seemed like the G.o.d Annihilating Beast had a pair of golden eyes as well. It appeared like one had to overcome this obstacle to enter the Mythical stage.

Wei Huo stood up and walked out of the Immortal Pond. The golden armor and Xiao Qian were still waiting outside. The most surprised one was the golden armor. It asked, “Did you break through? It feels like only a few seconds have pa.s.sed!”

Wei Huo’s eyes emitted a golden light and an aura of vicissitudes. His soul lifespan was already 2,500 years. He had experienced over 2,000 years in the Illusion Realm. Not a single moment had been wasted. However, only a few seconds had pa.s.sed in reality.

Wei Huo’s Eye of Illusion Destruction kept checking the eighth level. Then, he saw the path that led from the eighth level to the ninth level. He said, “I can see the path that leads away. Do you want to break through, or do you want to leave with me?”
