Chapter 558 The Key to Killing God
"I remember you told us...you came from the future...blah blah blah..." Lucina said.
Chen Ke looked at Lucina in confusion, not remembering that he had said that.
"I remember too, you seemed to have said that." Diana also agreed.
"Oh? Really?" Chen Ke scratched his head.
"But what you said last time was too vague, but you did say that you would tell us more details when you get the Holy Diamond. You can just get to the point." Diana said.
Chen Ke sighed, a little embarrassed, maybe there were too many things recently, which made his memory a little disordered.
"Then let's put it simply, this world is actually a dream, and all of you are living in a dream. Dreams are layered, and the place we are in now is the closest to waking up. It is embodied as a cliff floating in the air, and I am the owner here." Chen Ke said.
"You mean, we are not real?" Parker said.
"Yes, in a sense, you are not real." Chen Ke nodded.
"It sounds like... you had a dream, and in the dream you went to a strange world, and then you met a bunch of friends there, and then you told them that you all lived in my dream." Lucina said.
"You are right, but there is one thing wrong." Chen Ke said.
"What is it?" Lucina asked.
"This dream is not mine." Chen Ke said.
The three sat up a little straighter, and their faces became a little serious. After all, if what Chen Ke said is true, then this world is controlled by the dreamer? But now, Chen Ke admitted that this dream was not his, so it is hard to say when he will suddenly disappear.
"I thought you could make a big house out of thin air for me..." Lucina said.
"Chen Ke, you said you came from the future... and then you said this world is a dream, I am a little confused." Parker was a little puzzled.
"It sounds complicated, but the principle of this matter is actually very simple... Humans in the real world were extinct because of the invasion of gods, but there is an organization called the Human Connection Project Foundation, which used some method to make a dying god dream and created the world you are in. The purpose of the foundation is to let humans find a way to kill gods in dreams, and then return to the world through time stranding to continue human civilization." Chen Ke explained.
"This is a good idea, you can write a novel with it." Diana said.
"I bet not many people are willing to read it." Chen Ke shook his head.
"Gods? Are there really gods?" Lucina asked.
"In a sense, they are indeed gods, but that is just the code name our administration gave them to classify them. And... there is really no good way to deal with that thing..." Diana said.
"Did you travel from the real world?" Parker asked.
Chen Ke nodded. At this point, he lied, but no one would expose him.
"What is time stranding?" Diana asked.
"In the real world, the time node for the Foundation to start the dream is 2137. I don't know the exact date, but the year is like this. Due to some principle I don't understand, the dream world of God will overlap with that world after this time, and then a stranding effect will occur, and the two worlds will intersect. At that time, the dream will wake up, and we will fall into reality and face what humans in that world need to face." Chen Ke said.
"It sounds bad... You said that humans are extinct... If humans with this technology can't deal with that crisis, we are really in trouble..." Diana was also pessimistic.
"I don't know why, I don't feel so depressed. After all... 2137 is still far away from us, right?" Lucina smiled.
"And... there are two more bad news." Chen Ke sighed.
Lucina's smile gradually disappeared.
"The dream world has a concept of restart. When there are still survivors in the Foundation, they can use some observation methods to judge whether the current dream world's human civilization has the potential to find a way to kill God. If not, they will manually force a restart." Chen Ke said.
"Are you saying that our world... also has the probability of being restarted?" Parker asked.
"Yes, this is the first strange news, and the second is even more desperate. We are now in 2009, but even in this year, the special class in this world has been communicating closely with people in the future." Chen Ke said.
"I remember... the frustrated guy in the cathedral... he looks..." Parker suddenly recalled.
"Yes, there is also an organization like the Foundation in our world, but the situation is much more complicated than the real world. And the year they are in is exactly 2137." Chen Ke said.
"What..." Lucina was stunned.
Diana also took a breath. As a former Level 9 agent of the Administration, she is more sensitive than Parker and Lucina in this matter.
"In other words, the time stranding has begun?" Lucina asked.
"I don't know, maybe the month has not arrived yet, or for some other reason, I have contacted the agents of the Foundation in 2137, and they did not mention the time stranding..." Chen Ke said.
"Maybe the Foundation in the real world is wrong?" Parker asked.
"I don't think so." Chen Ke said.
"Obviously, we haven't been restarted. Does this mean that our world has passed the challenge and found a way to kill God?" Lucina asked.
"No... I'm very clear, let alone God... The Foundation can't even deal with the Families..." Chen Ke sighed.
"Family..." Diana frowned.
"Okay, stop talking about terms we don't understand, just tell me how difficult the situation is now?" Lucina said.
"Obviously, our world hasn't found a way to kill God, but it hasn't been restarted until now, just because all the members of the Foundation in the real world are dead, and the God used for dreaming has died. They restarted the world 999 times, and we are the 999th time." Chen Ke said.
The three were speechless, looking at Chen Ke without saying a word.
"But there is also good news, because in the end, they gave me the opportunity to restart the 1000th time." Chen Ke said.
"This is really inspiring." Diana said.
Parker also breathed a sigh of relief, at least he didn't have to worry about disappearing at a certain moment, and Lucina looked at Chen Ke with an admiring look.
"So you are now a hero who saves the world?" Diana asked.
"No... I didn't think about saving the world, I just wanted to save myself. What do you think restarting the world means? I stand aside and snap my fingers, and then watch the world start all over again?" Chen Ke asked back.
"So... you will also..." Lucina looked at Chen Ke.
"Yes, we are all finished, everyone disappears together, and then human civilization enters the last 1000th cycle. This is restarting the world." Chen Ke said.
"I understand you a little bit..." Parker shook his head.
"Think about it again, I don't know what the situation will be in 2137. Whether it is restarting the world or stranded in time, this world will face a catastrophe. We will either disappear or be hacked to death by some great god on the street..." Chen Ke said.
"Can't you travel through time and space? Go to 2137 and take a look!" Lucina said.
"No, I can only take the initiative to travel through time and space that I have been to. I have never been to 2137 and have never seen it... There is absolutely no way." Chen Ke said.
"Wang Ailin is still there..." Diana reminded.
"So what does this have to do with this green holy diamond?" Parker asked.
"In the future I saw, these six holy diamonds are in my hands, and at the end of time, I will face the white knight. I don't understand what this means, but it is the only direction, a hint." Chen Ke said.
"So what is your plan?" Diana asked.
"They said that if you get six of these things, you will be happy. Maybe this is the key to killing the god." Chen Ke said, picking up the green holy diamond on the table. He is now betting everything on this thing.
