Demon Lord 3

Tired from hitting it, I lay down to rest. Knowing that time passed slowly here, I didn't pay much attention. But after a while, the wooden stake moved. It seemed my goal wasn't to knock it down, but to make it lie down. If I lay on the ground and saw the standing stake, could I assume it had fallen? Suddenly, a thought struck me. It seemed I understood the entrance: taking the unconventional path. I should think about the problem from a different angle. Perhaps going back would be the path I would take in the future, and what had just happened couldn't prove my hypothesis. I could only ask questions and experiment. I lay still on the ground and called upon the true god in my mind. The true god came and smiled, seeing that I seemed to understand something. He told me that in the future, when looking at problems, I must change my perspective and not keep focusing on one thing, otherwise I wouldn't gain any advantage or achieve my goal. After listening, I didn't say anything else, just nodded and asked if this counted as passing the test. He said I had passed the test and would be given the exit. I asked him where the exit was, and he knocked down the wooden stake and then arranged for me to go back. After I got back, I suddenly realized that what we thought was the exit might be in the sky, or underground, or perhaps in our neighboring world. But we hadn't considered that if we made arrangements in terms of time, it might be much better than arranging things in terms of space. The difference in time is only between small worlds. So let's take a detour and see if we missed anything along the way. I woke everyone up in my consciousness and then hurriedly said goodbye. We finally asked everyone to gather in the spirit world. When everyone gathered and heard this news, they were all excited and asked me if it was true. I nodded. I'd been thinking about this for a long time. Actually, instead of having just a few of us struggling through levels and completing tasks, it's better to gather everyone together. This operation taught us a valuable lesson: only when we work together can we achieve the greatest results. With this realization, I immediately set out to complete the task. We finally gathered in the spirit world, but upon arrival, we found everything completely different from when we left a few years ago. It felt like decades had passed; the advanced technology was dazzling. We didn't know what we'd missed over the years, nor how many people and sights we'd missed. We hadn't found the real exit. What we saw in the spirit world was merely a reflection of our consciousness. Only when everyone gathered here would we truly be near the exit. Here, I could only speculate about where the exit might be. The place was the same place we had been before, the place where we used to live. Returning to our old home, I found everything had changed. What I once thought were skyscrapers were now just a cluster of lonely houses. What was once a luxurious area was now just a remote high-rise in the suburbs. It used to be the era of factories, so we all thought about how to revitalize it, but even then, it slowly declined. Over the years, factories have been gradually replaced by artificial intelligence. Now, without time or effort, AI can control the entire area. What we used to be proud of—the large number of people and the great strength—is now only useful for teams like ours. But we haven't seen the other worlds undergo technological development, nor have we seen their clothing change like it does now. Is this the drawback of the old guard always controlling the world? Wu Luansen suddenly came up behind me, patted my shoulder, and said, "Sister Yue, your cultivation is going well! I brought my whole family, my wife is with me, and I'm your strategist. I wonder how Zhenfei is doing?" At this, I laughed heartily. I wondered if Lin Zhenfei, seeing so many girlfriends all of a sudden, would behave the same way as before, or if he would restrain himself a bit? Speak of the devil, and he appears! Lin Zhenfei strolled over leisurely, stopping only behind us. He remained as refined as ever, unlike his previous impatience. It turned out that after just a few words, he couldn't resist acting like before. I teased him, "Not bad, Fei-ge, thinking about your wife coming home? You won't get cocky this time." Lin Zhenfei waved his hand and said, "That's not necessarily true. Although I have a wife, my girlfriends are all genuine. They're elites in their respective fields."
