In Love Apartment, I used a cheat to develop the Multiverse Gate.

When Lu Xiaoqian heard what Zhu Bajie said, a hint of emotion flashed in his eyes. He knew that Brother Zhu was a man of great loyalty and affection.

Although he didn't know what the secret was, he was certain it was something very important.

Now that Pig Brother is actually willing to risk being discovered to tell him, how could Lu Xiaoqian not be moved?

But now, even if he were asked to ask, he wouldn't know what to ask, because he had absolutely no clue.

He only learned of his previous discovery because of Zhang Yu's reminder. Now, if he were to ask, he wouldn't know where to begin or what to ask.

Seeing Lu Xiaoqian's confusion and distress, Zhang Yu knew that he couldn't figure it out for the time being, so he stepped forward and spoke up.

"Brother Pig, why don't you start from the beginning?"

Pigsy turned away from Zhang Yu's grinning face, not wanting to talk to him. He was willing to say it was because of Lu Xiaoqian, who had shared joys and sorrows with him. What was Zhang Yu compared to that?

Furthermore, he still hadn't figured out who Zhang Yu and the other two were. He had already discussed it with Huang Mei after waking up inside the human seed bag.

Zhang Yu and his two companions were very strong, and their abilities were completely unknown to them; they seemed to have sprung from a stone.

Moreover, they couldn't grasp Zhang Yu's intentions, but one thing was certain: Zhang Yu and his two companions had used them to threaten Lu Xiaoqian and the others. So, they naturally wouldn't give Zhang Yu a friendly look after they came out.

Seeing Zhu Bajie's attitude, Zhang Yu smiled slightly, forcing a smile that didn't reach his eyes, and said in a flat tone without any emotion.

"Brother Pig, do you know what kind of power the hammer that Sister Weiwei, who just fought you, has?"

Normally, Zhang Yu wouldn't care about these things, and might even have tried to appease Zhu Bajie.

But now the situation is different. Having learned about this world, Zhang Yu can no longer resist the urge to explore its truth.

Because his sixth sense told him that the truth of this world would greatly help him take that step, Zhang Yu wouldn't indulge him. He wouldn't listen to reason; he'd have to suffer the consequences.

Pigsy didn't see Zhang Yu's expression because he turned his head away, but Lu Xiaoqian and Huang Mei saw it clearly.

The moment Lu Xiaoqian saw Zhang Yu's expression, he couldn't help but gasp. It was terrifying. Lu Xiaoqian could swear to the silly girl that it was the most terrifying expression he had ever seen.

Huang Mei was no better off than Lu Xiaoqian; upon seeing Zhang Yu's expression, she immediately bristled.

Seeing this, Dali was already preparing to make a move, while Weiwei picked up the hammer and stared at Zhu Bajie, wondering how to strike.

"What you like or what abilities you have is none of my business."

Pigsy didn't see what Zhang Yu and Dali were doing, so he continued to act out his little tantrums without any restraint.

His words startled Lu Xiaoqian and Huang Mei. "Brother, look at the situation before you speak! You'll not only get yourself killed, but you'll also get us killed!"

"Brother Pig, it's not that serious. Just tell me what I wanted to ask."

"Yes, give me some face. People will say whatever they want to know. There's nothing to hide."

Lu Xiaoqian and Huang Mei hurriedly stepped forward to persuade Zhu Bajie, fearing that Zhang Yu might suddenly become unhappy and attack them.

"My hammer makes people tell the truth, not lie."

Weiwei watched as the three of them kept pushing and shoving each other. Especially because Lu Xiaoqian and Huang Mei were coaxing Zhu Bajie in a gentle voice, Zhu Bajie became even more arrogant.

Seeing that Pigsy was still unwilling to give in, Weiwei opened his mouth and revealed his abilities.

Although Zhang Yu had previously said not to casually reveal her abilities to others, she now wanted to scare Zhu Bajie, so she naturally introduced her abilities to him and the others. Of course, this was not all of her abilities.

"to be honest..."

Pigsy, who was initially being arrogant and throwing a tantrum, became even more agitated when Lu Xiaoqian and Huang Mei tried to coax him gently.

He instinctively wanted to refute what Weiwei said, but as soon as the words left his mouth, he realized he had gotten the hint and was able to get people to tell the truth... This ability... He involuntarily swallowed.

"Brother Pig, I advise you to speak properly, otherwise if you say something you're not comfortable saying, then there's nothing we can do," Zhang Yu threatened again.

Moreover, he was certain that if Pigsy was really being petty and didn't say anything, Zhang Yu wouldn't care whether he was the protagonist or not, what his relationship was with the protagonist, or even if there was a real Pigsy behind him.

Anyone who dares to obstruct his path may be killed.

"You're threatening me, Old Pig. Let me tell you, I, Old Pig... will tell you."

Pigsy was still somewhat dissatisfied with Zhang Yu's threat, but when he saw Weiwei walking towards him with a hammer, and Zhang Yu's cold face, especially with the little girl next to him emitting a ball of seven-colored light.

The next moment, Pigsy changed his expression and obediently told everything. With Huang Mei's supplement and Zhang Yu's occasional questions, Zhang Yu finally learned the secret hidden in this world.

Long ago in this world, a group of people accidentally entered a space while searching for the mysteries of the universe.

Within this space, they discovered a peculiar place where everyone who entered gained special cultivation techniques. So they shared this secret with the others.

Eventually, more and more people entered the space and obtained special cultivation techniques. According to the characteristics of these techniques, these people gathered together and formed small groups, which led to various groups such as witches, demons, and immortals.

After a long time, some people discovered that the spiritual energy in the world was rapidly decreasing, with only some special places having a relatively high concentration of spiritual energy. In order to seize these places with high spiritual energy, they began to fight each other, which even caused various disasters.

After numerous battles, only those who focused on cultivating immortality remained.

However, they discovered that the spiritual energy in the world was constantly decreasing, and even in places where the spiritual energy was abundant, it was continuously being lost.

After various investigations and verifications, they discovered that the spiritual energy in this world is limited, and the more people cultivate, the faster the spiritual energy is lost.

So some people united to fight against the sect that had the largest number of people at the time, especially after the Jade Emperor created the divine path based on incense offerings. In order to prevent another chaotic war, the major sects launched the Investiture of the Gods.

After the deification, the loss of spiritual energy did indeed begin to slow down. However, after a period of time, they discovered that the divine path was not perfect. Once there was no incense offering, the gods would gradually dissipate—truly dissipate, to the point that they would even forget about them.

Panic gripped the world once more, especially when people discovered that spiritual energy was still leaking away. They knew that people had started cultivating again, so more people continued to cultivate, causing the spiritual energy in the world to plummet again.

After some calculations, it was discovered that this spiritual energy would disappear within a few hundred years, at which point only the path of incense offerings could be cultivated. However, even the path of incense offerings requires spiritual energy, and without spiritual energy, they would also dissipate.

Everyone collapsed, which meant that they would eventually disappear into the world.

At this time, two Westerners perfected the incense and deity system and created the path of faith. As long as there are people who believe in them, or even just as long as people remember them, they can continue to exist and do not need spiritual energy at all.

Therefore, they devised a plan to go on a pilgrimage to the West, so that the world would remember them.

However, after the plan was implemented, the Jade Emperor discovered a problem: those without spiritual energy would gradually weaken, and in the end, even if they still existed, they would only become weaker than ordinary people.

Eventually, someone suggested closing that space after the Journey to the West, leaving all the spiritual energy in that space. Some even started setting up a large array for that space. But after the array was set up, another problem arose.

That means that space was gradually closing down and collapsing.

This time they didn't say anything; only a limited number of people knew.

After their research, they finally discovered the truth about this world.

That is, this world is actually an illusion; what's real is that space, a space created by a powerful being in a vast world to store books.

For some unknown reason, they eventually left that world. As the space drifted, it grew larger and larger, even giving rise to a new world, which is the world they live in now. The spiritual energy of this world also emanates from this space.

It was only because of their endless cultivation that the spiritual energy generated by the space could not keep up with their consumption. Coupled with their conquests, the space was eventually drained dry.

Even this world is absorbing energy from space, which is why this world is becoming more and more real.

This is why space can collapse or even shut down. It's trying to protect itself and escape this world.
