Douluo Continent: Reincarnation as Bai E has been exposed by the Heavenly Curtain!

Chapter 23 Is this world a simulated game?

The Douluo Continent was deathly silent.

"Could it be...?"

A Soul Master's voice broke the silence.

"Has Bai Er always been burdened with the responsibility of saving the world?"

"Impossible!" someone immediately shouted in protest.

"Then why did he kill Xi Lian?"

Why kill so many people?

If it were truly about saving the world, how could the method possibly be possible?

"How could it be so cruel?"

Another person spoke, but their voice trembled.

"But did you see Xi Lian's expression?"

She did it willingly!

What did she say to him...?

"keep going"?

What exactly is going on...?

Xiao Wu clutched Tang San's sleeve, tears streaming down her face:

"Third Brother, Mr. Bai'e, is he really carrying everything on his own shoulders?"

Tang San remained silent for a long time before slowly shaking his head: "I don't know."

But if it's true...

That is, "all things".

It's probably a million times heavier than we imagine.

Ning Rongrong wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, her voice soft yet firm:

"I believe him. Ever since I saw Sister Xilian's smile..."

I believe he must have had unimaginable hardships to endure.

Zhu Zhuqing didn't speak, but simply crossed her arms and nodded slightly.

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others looked solemn, no longer displaying their previous indignant cursing.

Doubt, shock, and compassion intertwined in the air.

And at that very moment—

"Look! The sky has changed again!"

"this time……

Is the truth finally going to be revealed this time?

The image became clearer.

It was still that familiar edge of the battlefield.

Bai E and Xi Lian stood side by side.

Across from them stood a third person.

A middle-aged man dressed in a simple scholar's robe, with a calm demeanor bordering on gloom.

"Who...is this person?"

"Looks familiar..."

Has this happened before?

"Yes! At that time, when the citizens' assembly was held in that summer!"

He sat in the corner, barely saying a word!

"I don't remember much..."

But he doesn't look like a good person!

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

This suddenly appearing "Laigushi" carried an aura of incongruity.

Lai Gushi's gaze swept over Bai E and Xi Lian, finally settling on a point in the void, as if piercing through the sky and looking down at all the onlookers.

He spoke:

"Welcome, observers."

It seems you've witnessed quite a bit of the surface.

He slightly raised his hand, and the surrounding scenery—ruins, smoke, and dim light—suddenly began to dissolve into digital form.

All matter transforms into countless flowing streams of green and black data, which recombine in the void to outline a structural model that is unimaginably vast and intricately operating.

"This is 'Onpharos'"

"I can say that calmly," said Lai Gushi.

"Or rather, its essence."

Model unfolding.

The people of Douluo Continent witnessed a sight that shook their very souls:

That's not a natural planet at all!

Rather, it is a 'divine creation' created by the supreme will for observation and testing!

"A simulated field."

Lai Gushi continued,

"A simulation experiment about the 'final form of life' that has been continuously calculated for countless tens of thousands of years."

I adjusted the initial parameters and injected twelve variables.

This refers to the factors that influence the course of life, as you know them as the "Titan Spark".

The objective is simple: to observe how life evolves solutions under extreme pressure and complex rules.

The planet's day-night cycle simulates the rise and fall of countless civilizations and the battles between countless races.

Ultimately, the image freezes on an inconspicuous group of life forms.

One of the individuals, during a routine resource conflict, made a "choice" by chance.

It didn't compete; instead, it utterly destroyed its rivals.

This action seemed to have touched a gaze that was buried deep within the universe.

Beyond the simulated scene, in the endless depths of space.

An indescribable will, both great and terrifying, cast a "glance" upon this tiny simulated world.

Just a glimpse.

The entire Onpharos model trembled violently!

A brand new, violent, and demise-inducing factor was forcibly injected!

"Nanook, the God of Destruction."

The moment Lai Gushi uttered this name, all living beings, both inside and outside the heavens, were affected.

Including Gu Yuena, who had just awakened and was looking up from the core area of ​​the star system.

They all felt an extreme fear and trembling that stemmed from their very survival instincts!

That was an absolute crushing on the level of hierarchy, the instinctive suffocation of an ant looking up at the sky!

"Even higher than the Dragon God!"

Even more irresistible!

"Star God..."

Gu Yuena's silver dragon eyes contracted violently.

My long-held pride and perceptions were completely overturned at this moment.

"This 'glance' brought a real 'variable' to this experimental field."

And I want to prove that, under sufficiently long a period of time and sufficiently rigorous selection,

The ultimate form that the "first cause" of life leads to is—destruction!

Not destruction, but a complete and utter "end" without leaving a trace.

The scene changed again, and the demonstration became brutal and efficient.

"To optimize this experiment, it was iterated tens of millions of times."

Onphalus's "script" gradually took shape: the twelve Titans were initially established.

At the same time, each generation naturally gives birth to twelve special individuals carrying the 'destructive factor'—the Golden Descendants.

These Goldenborn would inevitably clash with the Titans for various reasons, ultimately killing the Titans, seizing the Fire, and completing a process of "integration" and "destruction" of power.

Then, the world restarts and enters the next iteration.

"Kuroshio,"

Lai Gushi pointed to the pervasive, all-consuming blackness...

"It's not some natural disaster."

It is the "screening pressure" I put in, the ultimate driving force that compels the Golden Generation to keep taking action and constantly seeking "solutions".

And the so-called "re-creation" parable...

With a gentle tap, the screen showed that when the twelve sparks gathered, what was triggered was no longer a new world, but a restart command for the entire world.

"It's just the clearing out of an experiment, and the beginning of the next iteration."

The so-called "divine blood" flowing in the veins of the Golden Descendants is essentially a mark left by the "Gaze of the Destroyer Star God".

Their sacrifices, struggles, loves and hates, their belief that they were saving the world or upholding justice...

They're all just providing purer 'destructive' nourishment for this grand breeding of venomous insects.

Each generation of Golden Descendants grows stronger through battles and sacrifices, and their mastery of the power of "destruction" becomes more refined.

until--

The focus is on the latest generation.

Bai E, Xi Lian, Wan Di, Aglaya, Xia Die, Na Ke Xia, Feng Jin, Sai Fei Er...

Each person's data image shines with unprecedented intensity and complexity.

"And in this generation,"

For the first time, Lai Gushi's gaze, truly and with a certain scrutinizing quality, fell upon Bai E.

"The number of bearers of the Destruction Factor has reached an unprecedented peak."

Especially you, Bai'er.

Your presence has even begun to disrupt this experiment that has been refined over tens of millions of iterations…

An anomaly has occurred.

Under the sky, the Douluo Continent was silent.

All the anger, doubt, and compassion.

At this moment, everything was replaced by a greater, colder, and more desperate sense of absurdity.

The truth of the world is simulation.

The epic of heroes is an experiment.

A tragic sacrifice is a predetermined fate.

All the effort and struggle is just to prove that life will eventually lead to destruction.

"Haha...hahaha..."

One of the Soul Masters let out a dry laugh as if he was collapsing, but the laugh turned into a sob.

"us……

What are we moved by?

What are you angry about?

The other person had vacant eyes.

"Golden Descendants..."

They fought and sacrificed so painfully...

So even their suffering was orchestrated?

Xiao Wu's voice was so soft it seemed to dissipate.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were both pale.

They were willing to believe Bai E's predicament, but never considered what lay behind it.

It is such a vast nothingness that devours all meaning and hope.

Tang San's fists clenched and unclenched repeatedly as he tried to comprehend this "truth" that was completely beyond his comprehension.

Gu Yuena looked up at the sky.

The hatred over the fall of the Dragon God, and the fate of the Soul Beast race.

Faced with the truth of the "Star God" and the "Simulated World," they suddenly seem so insignificant and ridiculous.

Throughout the entire scene shown on the sky, Bai E remained silent.

He simply listened quietly to Lai Gushi's account, without any expression of surprise on his face.

Only his tightly pursed lips and the darkness deeper than an abyss in the depths of his eyes revealed that he already knew all this.

Xi Lian gently took his hand.

The truth is far more brutal than they imagined.

Is this world a simulated game?

But the path of a hero may never have existed.
