Apocalypse: I watch a survival game in a safe house

He felt it!

Beneath Samael's seemingly perfect theory of reincarnation lies a complete denial of "individuality" and "transcendence".

This may be a shortcut to gaining power, but the price is losing oneself and becoming a muddled node in the universe's energy cycle.

This is not what he wanted!

"I... am not just nourishment! Nor am I just a predator!" His consciousness roared in the illusion, "I am Zhang Yi! My existence, the meaning of my life, can only be determined by myself!"

boom!

It was as if some kind of shackles had been broken, or as if a drowning person had finally broken through the surface of the water.

Zhang Yi suddenly opened his eyes!

The scenes of the real world reappear before their eyes: Yang Xinxin, Brian, and the dark forest.

He was panting heavily, his body drenched in cold sweat. The black lines on his body were slowly fading, and the crimson in his eyes was gradually disappearing. Although he was still exhausted, he had regained his clarity.

"Is it... over?" Brian asked cautiously.

Zhang Yi did not answer immediately; he was sensing the changes in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Although it was extremely dangerous, he did gain a deeper understanding of the nature of energy and the rules of Samael.

This understanding is not about agreement, but a breakthrough in cognition, like solving a complex math problem. Although the problem itself may be malicious, the process of solving it improves your abilities.

He looked at Yang Xinxin, who had already put away the Fallen Puppet's longbow, but her eyes were still focused on him.

"For now... everything's alright."

Zhang Yi's voice was a little hoarse. He slowly stood up and moved his stiff limbs.

"Thank you, Xin Xin."

Just now, if it weren't for Yang Xinxin's call and the constant threat of arrows, he might not have been able to break free on his own.

Yang Xinxin gently shook her head: "Your consciousness has finally completed the analysis and isolation of the polluting information. The risk was high, but... there also seems to be some gains."

Zhang Yi nodded, his gaze drifting deeper into the forest.

After this voluntary "baptism," he felt that his perception of this forest had become more acute, and he could even vaguely perceive the outline of that dormant will.

"Let's go."

He said, his eyes growing even more profound, "I think I've seen through many things! The gains from Tianyu Palace have put me on the right path. But there isn't only the right path in this world. I accept Samael's 'gift,' although... the way it was presented was a bit unusual."

Yang Xinxin and Brian looked at Zhang Yi with curiosity. They didn't understand what Zhang Yi had gained in Samael's spiritual world.

Zhang Yi had no outsiders around him, and he also had a very good impression of Brian and Professor Da Vinci.

So at this moment, Zhang Yi did not keep it a secret, but quietly revealed what he had gained.

"Everyone, listen carefully to what I am about to say."

"This is an insight gained by the second generation of humans at the beginning of the universe."

Zhang Yi stretched out his hand, looking at his perfect demon god armor and feeling the power in his arm.

"According to Kagago's theory that he is the creator, the entire universe was originally empty, and nothing existed."

"Everything that can be seen is an illusion, a collection of forces. Therefore, matter does not exist. What we see is an illusion, a vessel of ether."

The crowd understood Zhang Yi's explanation; intelligent people like Professor Da Vinci and Zhou Ke'er immediately grasped it.

Some people with poor comprehension skills say, "Although I don't understand it, it sounds very impressive."

Just then, Zhang Yi suddenly asked, "But where did the original power of this universe, this material world, go?"

These words startled both Yang Xinxin and Professor Da Vinci, their expressions becoming extremely serious and solemn, as if they had heard an incredible theoretical doctrine.

Zhang Yi continued, "The universe we see was created by outsiders; it was formed by Kaga's will."
