A Game for Everyone: God-Level Talent is Achieved Through Rolling In.

Nie Wan recounted what Chen Siyu had said, in a very brief manner, but Lin Jianlu understood it.

She asked, "Why don't you try talking to Teacher Chen about this? If she knew about it, she would definitely be happy to help you relieve this pain."

“It’s different,” Nie Wan said. “Her pain and her father’s pain are the same kind of pain, not mine. I don’t want her to transfer her feelings to me, because that would make me feel like I’m using my father’s pain to gain something for myself.”

Nie Wan chuckled as she spoke, "Ever since the seal Venerable Heartfire gave me cracked, I seem to have become more and more pretentious."

"No, everyone has some obsessions and delusions. From a purely objective point of view, these things may indeed prevent a better outcome, but people don't live to keep pursuing a better outcome."

Lin Jianlu felt a pang of melancholy as he spoke.

"Humans are fragile after all, unlike those things that have been abstracted and sublimated, which can be pursued without any doubt."

Nie Wan said, "But no one wants to be vulnerable, and people also have their own goals."

“Aren’t we moving towards our goal right now?” Lin Jianlu smiled. “As long as we’re not going to die any minute, and as long as we have enough time, what’s wrong with stopping a little and letting ourselves be vulnerable? After all, we’ve really lost a lot.”

Nie Wan nodded gently, closing her eyes to feel the wind howling across the wasteland.

A moment later, she opened her eyes.

"Teacher, what if some people have no weaknesses?"

“Such a person does not exist,” Lin Jianlu said firmly.

"But from what I've observed of him, I feel that he has dedicated everything to his faith. His actions are perfect and impeccable; a benevolent exterior hides a benevolent heart, and so far, I see no flaws."

Lin Jianlu smiled and said, "If someone dedicates everything to their beliefs, then their beliefs become their weakness."

Nie Wan felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck her mind, and in an instant, her thoughts became clear.

"Yes, his faith is his weakness."

Nie Wan opened the bracelet and returned to the private message chat.

Teacher, those "projected objects" you mentioned earlier have their own names; they are called "concepts."

【concept?】

Lin Jianlu smiled and nodded.

[It's very concise and to the point; you can roughly understand what they are at a glance.]

The person I'm referring to is probably a theist. These concepts, before the game's arrival, also chose their representatives among humanity, calling themselves gods to them. If this person truly regards these concepts as gods and steadfastly clears the way for their own god, then can I simply destroy them by destroying their own god?

[I'm afraid that's impossible. Such a person's faith might temporarily overlap with that of a deity, but if you expose the true nature of that deity, they will simply remove their faith from that vessel; they won't necessarily question their own faith directly.]

Nie Wan thought it made sense.

She had thought so before.

A person with unwavering faith will never doubt their faith, never.

A person who can reach Armand's level will not break down even in pain.

So I never thought of defeating him from the perspective of his faith.

However, Lin Jianlu's words still make sense.

His faith is his weakness.

His faith will not crumble, but if it is exposed that the vessel bearing his faith is not qualified, he will leave without hesitation, and even turn against the vessel that has deceived him.

This is already the result Nie Wan wanted.

So now there's only one question left.

What is the concept of the medium through which he communicates?

Is it a single concept or a mixture of many concepts?

Nie Wan had only one guess.

The concepts are not mature enough, and if several of them come together, they will only go their own way, and opinions will inevitably be divided.

Armand was not stupid; he was shrewd, perceptive, and had a sharp eye. Concepts that were not entirely self-consistent would not catch his eye.

Therefore, the most important thing is to find out about this concept and its details.

Nie Wan immediately used her authority to contact Peace Concept, but Peace Concept did not respond.

It is not always available when needed.

Nie Wan frowned slightly, then quickly regained her composure and began to invoke the concept of love and desire.

"What do you want from me?"

The concept of love and desire immediately resonated.

His tone was always different from other concepts, mixed with very obvious emotions.

"Of all the concepts, which do you think is closest to religious faith, light, and peace?"

"You said it yourself, religious faith is about light and peace, so of course it's about these four concepts."

"Are all four concepts?"

"All."

Are you familiar with them?

"We're not familiar with each other. In a sense, we're opposites. Although we both wander in this world, in your words, we'd basically never see each other again."

Nie Wan remained noncommittal, then asked, "Can you sense my aura?"

"The aura on you..."

The concept of love and desire suddenly fell silent. Nie Wan felt a gaze sweep over her from high above.

It wasn't what she felt, but rather the fundamental authority of the concept of peace that enabled her to develop this perception.

Previously, I could not perceive the concept of fluctuations no matter what, but now I can slightly feel the breezes they create and the gazes they cast upon me.

"You have the scent of peace about you."

The concept of love and desire murmured to himself.

"It actually gave you this."

Nie Wan smiled and said, "It's always better to have a concept of things to do."

"impossible."

"Why not? There's always a concept that's worth taking a gamble on, betting that I'm a relatively reliable ally."

The concept of love and desire has fallen silent.

Nie Wan tilted her head slightly, gazing at a certain spot high in the sky.

"By the way, I think I can see you now."

Tiny ripples spread across the sky.

Nie Wan's smile deepened: "Tell me, if other concepts were as careless as you are in front of me, would I be able to see their true forms?"

The concept of love and desire retorted defiantly, "Of course you can! What can't you do? You can always do what you want to do."

"Don't always be so impatient," Nie Wan said slowly. "It makes you seem less like a concept and more like you've been corrupted by NPCs."

"What do you mean?"

"You should have noticed it yourself, right? Compared to other concepts, you seem more like an NPC. You said the awakening of the Heartfire Venerable was without warning, but in my opinion, it wasn't without warning, much less without reason. If I were you, I would investigate carefully to see if there are other concepts behind this."
