Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 585 - 27: Tour of the Divine Kingdom_2

Tang Xian suddenly stopped looking at the lake surface and instead lifted his head to gaze at the sky.

Watching the massive clouds slowly drift, he tried to discern some details.

"It seems you are not omniscient and omnipotent, let's skip this series of questions. Before I figure out the purpose of your invitation to enter the divine kingdom, I want to know the historical truth, as told by you, the god of order. There must be many details, right?"

[——Even gods cannot reverse time, this world has many unchangeable rules that are beyond us. You can no longer alter the truth of history, so why persist? Of course, I will tell you because it is essential to explain my existence.]

"I'm listening."

[——First, you must understand what the world of order and the Myriad Beasts Realm are. In the Myriad Beasts Realm, everything is chaotic and lawless, filled with slaughter and bloodshed, where all beings act on instinct, driven by desire, engaging in extremely savage behaviors. Yet, that world teems with vitality that the world of order does not possess.]

[——While in the world of order, in the Pyramid that I left for my people, everything is structured and orderly, and all things and activities can be controlled as expected. Although wildness remains in the souls of humans, they are the product of a balance between the two consciousnesses within my own mind, and they can be guided by order.]

Tang Xian's heart suddenly tensed, the truth he had long pursued was about to be revealed, and he was very curious as to what kind of answer it would all come to.

What followed was the most astonishing answer he heard.

[——Your world, whether it is the Myriad Beasts Realm or the Human World, the Pyramid, or even the divine kingdom, are all conjured by my consciousness.]

[——Have you heard of Dreamweaving Island?]

"A great whale had a dream, and a young hero entered its dream, experiencing an epic adventure, meeting the girl he loved. But just when he thought he could enjoy eternal victory and joy, the great whale woke up. The world inside the dream collapsed. Are you comparing yourself to that whale that weaves worlds?"

[——No, I am unlike that great whale. My consciousness settles into the universe, taking on a more stable form of expression. They are not ephemeral like dreams; all worlds formed by my consciousness will exist forever. Even my death or dissolution cannot change that.]

"If what you're saying is true, then what exactly are you? The will of the universe? The origin of the world?" Tang Xian almost wanted to laugh out loud, using that sense of disdain to show how preposterous those words were and —— to mask the awe within his heart.

Perhaps it was some magic in that voice; as an insider, he felt a desire to believe it.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

But that's the way Tang Xian was, the more comfortable and natural the environment, the more resistant he became.

This sense of crisis kept him from falling into traps set by others.

[——I am the world. The place you call the mining area is where my bestiality lies; it is the evil part of my personality. Or perhaps it is a persistent disease within my body. It will gradually take over more and more of my consciousness and flesh, and I must resist them. It is a disease; my consciousness is being invaded, and most of my body is already paralyzed.]

"Where's the evidence?"

[——You have seen the starry sky more than once, the folded space in between, where the starry sky of both worlds is the same.

I can now tell you the truth of the invasion. The Myriad Beasts Realm invading the human domain is only the spread of this disease, and the Pyramid is but a means to prolong my life.

All things in the world can be considered my cells. Among countless trillions of cells, there are always a few that are strong, voraciously devouring other cells.]

"Apocalyptic creatures."

[——Yes, as stated on the Stele, there are six apocalyptic creatures in this world, and their leader is the source of my evil.]

"The Lord of Eden?"

[——In human terms, there is a more apt description, 'inner demon.' Eden, before becoming a ruin, had a highly advanced civilization. It was originally also under the control of my consciousness. But I am a being, and even though I have evolved to the highest order of the universe, my consciousness can create life. Yet, I cannot avoid something that lower beings possess. Perhaps this is the very core trait of a being —— my desire.]

[——Greed, lust, appetite, the urge to kill, and many other desires materialized through my consciousness into various Myriad Beasts.

The most fundamental desire, eternally in opposition to rationality, created the Lord of Eden, my inner demon.

You don't have to believe me because I will ultimately heal my body.]

Although Tang Xian didn't believe it from the bottom of his heart, he suddenly realized that maybe he should pretend to believe it for a while.

"Oh? Then what do you plan to do? Save yourself?"

This time, Tang Xian intentionally used a mocking tone, then he observed whether there were any changes in this world.

"By the way, how can I get out?"

[——Humans are like a serum that can heal me, a special virus, capable of suppressing the survival of the Myriad Beasts. Although they are weak and still need nurturing, through centuries of inheritance, I have cultivated some antibody-like humans. You are no stranger to them.]
