Chapter 137 The World's Weakness

The identity of the Outsider has been confirmed, so the first thing after the restart is to quickly meet.

Gu Shen and Zhou Jiren had the same idea... Not long after the world restarted, the four reunited on the Qinghe rooftop.

But this time everyone's faces were not good, especially Zhong Wei's. The recent source quality storm had caused him a lot of damage.

Although after the restart, the physical body would be restored to its original state.

But the mental "impact" would not be erased.

Although the Outsiders could start over with the memory of each restart, as a price, they had to bear the mental pressure.

"What... what was that just now?"

Zhong Wei looked a little pale. "A source quality storm hit Gu Fort?"

This had never happened in previous timelines!

"Is it because we're going to set out early?"

Tao Biao stood with his cane, and said in a deep voice, "I reckon it won't be long... before we have to restart again."

Luo Er opened his mouth heavily, "If it happens again, I'd still choose the same."

Less than half a day later, the four Outsiders met again. This time the meeting place was still the Rust Bone's main airship.

An old hand fell on her shoulder.

Halfway through speaking, he suddenly froze.

Zhong Wei recalled his past encounters and said in a low voice, "In the past, when we made choices in the 'Old World' that differed from the original trajectory... we would always encounter great resistance, but never such a violent attack. It almost pronounced a 'death sentence'."

At this moment, Zhong Wei's heart was trembling.

He didn't have time to say these words.

Zhou Ji smiled and said, "I have an idea, but I need one more restart as an experiment..."

And now, closing his eyes, he could personally recall that chilling despair.

The others were stunned for a moment.

Zhou Ji gave a self-deprecating laugh, "All it's doing is hoping that we'll stay there forever... or rather, hoping that the you in the real world will 'die' here. But if it has the ability to kill you directly, why doesn't it do that?"

Gu Shen was speechless, and only felt a pang of sourness in his nose.

"Why can you be so sure?"

This question stumped Zhong Wei.

Gu Shen felt his condition improve a little. He sat down on the ground, scooped up a handful of broken snow, and rubbed it hard on his face.

"Hmm?" Zhong Wei raised an eyebrow.

The source quality storm just now had caused him a very severe blow.

"Is it because of my joining?"

Zhong Wei's eyes lit up, "Only when we follow the rules can it strike against us."

Closing his eyes, it was again the scene of that snow-white radiance rushing towards him.

Zhou Ji slowly said this sentence, and he asked seriously, "Do you think this event is triggered one hundred percent of the time, or... just triggered accidentally once?"

In addition to this, it also revealed a very important message... The will of this world is trying to keep us within the Seven Continents!

It was just that he had died the most times.

He just felt grief in his heart.

"That's right.

Some things can never be understood without experiencing them personally.

"Are you going to Gu Fort again?"

The hand pressed on my head just exerted force silently.

(Adjusting the biological clock, the next chapter will be updated tomorrow morning.

Tian Tong narrowed his eyes, "The rules of this world do not allow us to set out early, so it manipulated the source quality storm to bombard us, just like the situation we encountered when we went to the 'Old World'."

The snowfield had returned to calm and emptiness. The original four figures had disappeared without a trace, and not even footprints remained.

Restart...

"Tao Biao, what's your guess?"

"Did you ever regret giving up the opportunity to leave back then?"

But he was nothing.

"If everything in this world has a set trajectory, then it also means... that the 'will' of this world knows the past, present, and future of everything. That's why there is this incomparably exquisite real dream, and all your reactions can be perfectly simulated and evolved."

"Senior brother, this time you don't need to come."

Under the tundra snow,

I had heard Zhou Ji talk about the tragic situation in Gu Fort...

The old man shook his head.

Rust Bone narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhou Ji. He almost instantly guessed Zhou Ji's thoughts.

"Just wait here.

"I guess that the 'original will' of this world can only mobilize events that have happened in the original trajectory..."

Zhong Wei said expressionlessly, "Is it shameful to be blasted to death by a source quality storm? Or is it shameful to want to be a savior all the time?"

Going out to the fortress with Zhong Wei and Luo Er... He was always the slowest one.

"Leaving the fortress early will trigger the 'world restart' condition?"

Now Gu Fort had been blasted with a huge gap by the source quality storm!

"Have we encountered source quality storms before?"

Sitting in the cabin, Gu Shen looked pale. His voice trembled a little, and he smiled bitterly, "Do we have to do it again?"

But he knew one iron law.

With a bang.

The "fatigue" after dying in an attack would not dissipate. The pain in the body would be reset, but the mental fatigue would not.

Rust Bone understood.

Because he realized that the Gu Fort in his impression was the Gu Fort of the "past."

But this time...

The longer you live, the more memories you have.

Zhou Jiren's communicator rang at this moment.

As long as they were willing to obey, willing to lower their heads, and willing to immerse themselves in this ideal land, they could spend a pleasant and long life in this perfect

restarted world.

Tao Biao's lips were blue, and although he tried to hide it, his whole person revealed an unparalleled exhaustion.

Tian Tong supported Gu Shen and walked slowly.

"Am I very useless, very useless?"

"Teacher, senior sister, you don't need to come either..."

"You triggered a source quality storm by leaving Gu Fort Fortress early."

He suddenly smiled and called out, "Teacher."

If it happens again.

Green vines clung to Gu Shen's shoulders. Zhong Wei, who was walking at the very back, stopped. He opened a green barrier. Dozens of green plants broke out of the ground in the tundra snow, quickly forming a barrier. A cool warmth emanated from the barrier.

After restarting 138 times, could Tao Biao and the others still maintain the same clarity of mind as before?

"That's right."

Rust Bone raised an eyebrow.

Now, junior brother had come to this world as an "Outsider."

He wouldn't foolishly think that this world that could be constantly restarted was truly a perfect and flawless ideal land.

Gu Shen's hind brain was hit very hard.

Tao Biao slowly said, "In other words, the meaning of restarting is not to let us start over, but that this world cannot deduce a more advanced future, so it is forced to shut down."

"So—"

"That's right."

He had only restarted for the first time, and Mr. Rust Bone had only restarted seven times.

Tian Tong opened his mouth softly, comforting him, "The next restart may come very soon."

It seemed like something had exploded beyond the horizon.

What was the situation?

Tian Tong just wanted to open his mouth and offer to help.

"If I say I'm fine, would you believe it?" Gu Shen squeezed out a smile and asked rhetorically.

"Rules."

Zhou Ji didn't know if there was an upper limit to the so-called number of restarts.

"Are you all right?"

"Theoretically speaking, that's right."

"Gu Fort has never experienced such a tragic attack."

Gu Shen's head was pressed very low.

Zhou Ji nodded, "If you leave the fortress early, it will mobilize its power to attack the airship. But this involves the third question... If it can mobilize the 'source quality storm,' why did it only use this power now?"

Everything in this world has a "limit"!

He knew that he was seriously dragging down the team... But he had no choice. After entering here, he didn't even have the right to commit suicide. Once he died, the efforts of teacher and Luo Er would be in vain, and this world would restart again.

"I have never regretted it either."

Zhou Ji stretched out his ten fingers and intertwined them.

A hoarse voice came from behind.

This was the happiest he had been since restarting 138 times.

Tao Biao, who had been thinking all along, suddenly spoke.

Some things in this world always had to be done by someone.

He was trying his best to live.

"I'm asking you..."

He could see that senior brother Tao Biao's mental state was not good...

The [Sacred Tree] emitted a bit of radiance.

The greatest intention of the restart mechanism... was to make the Outsiders fall into comfort.

Zhou Ji opened his mouth sincerely, stretched out his palm, and gently covered his senior brother's hand.

A few flakes of snow fluttered in the air.

Tao Biao looked at the boundless whiteness in the distance.

Then after 500 or 1000 restarts...

He lowered his head.

The airship flew over the tundra. This time there were only two people in the main airship.

Zhou Ji nodded.

"Because even the most powerful computing system in this world cannot simulate the countless endings derived from the billions of choices made by billions of living beings... This is an incalculable infinity. A butterfly flapping its wings in the Ice Sea may cause an avalanche in the tundra. Although the enemy you are currently facing has not yet appeared, I have confirmed that it exists."

Some things, the more the enemy doesn't want you to do, the more important it is!

[The world will restart immediately upon the death of an Outsider.]

"So as long as you choose to 'set out,' you will be attacked by the world's will with thunderous means?"

He looked back at the teacher blankly.

This was a very reasonable guess... because he represented the strongest source power below the God Seat!

Tian Tong was silent for a few seconds, then said softly, "Junior brother, you and Mr. Rust Bone must be careful."

He was both gratified and sad.

Rust Bone sent his regards immediately.

"You idiot, how could you ask such a question?"

This time, he was the first witness of the world's restart. The sudden attack of the source quality storm confirmed the "restart triggering conditions" that Zhong Wei had said.

The entire continental crust trembled, and the wind and snow roared, so much so that the snow layer of the tundra was affected.

Junior brother was a quasi-God Seat who had fused the Fire Seed, a stronger supreme being than Rust Bone Little General.

The teacher was the Great Judge of the Eastern Continent, titled [Sky-Reaching Tree]. Luo Er was the youngest title holder in the Eastern Continent Federation, awarded the title [Heavenly Eye]. And he was only at the seventh level. The domain that he was so proud of could only barely protect himself in the [Old World].

He couldn't see it, but the teacher behind him took a deep breath, and then his eyes became a little moist.

In the end... he was still the biggest burden on the team.

"We've encountered it before... but it wasn't as terrifying as this time."

The ending was the same.

Gu Shen didn't quite understand, and he asked confusedly, "Junior brother, what do you mean?"

But Zhong Wei's palm pressed lightly on her shoulder.

"It's because it can't do it."

Rust Bone subconsciously opened his mouth, "According to the original world trajectory, this kind of thing shouldn't have happened... Everyone personally experienced and went through the source quality storm just now."

At this time, there was no point in rushing.

"Are you feeling better now?"

Zhou Ji and Rust Bone were going to Gu Fort Fortress... There was a high probability that they would encounter a source quality storm again.

Zhou Ji said seriously, "Mr. Rust Bone, believe me, no one understands AI better than I do."

The side effects of this restarting world reminded Zhou Ji of the longevity technique, which ranked first among the ancient forbidden techniques.

"Damn it."

Rust Bone was not in a hurry to see the Empress. After recovering his clarity, he quickly arranged the internal affairs of the legion, and then quickly drove the airship south to meet with Zhou Ji and his party on the tundra!

With this statement,

Tao Biao murmured hoarsely, "Gu Fort Fortress was hit by something like that?" It was still the same.

If the current situation was not wonderful enough.

"But I still feel guilty."

He asked in confusion, "So... the reason why Gu Fort Fortress had that storm was because it encountered such a storm in the future?"

Tao Biao spat out two words, "There are irreversible rules in this world. Even the 'original will' responsible for running this world must abide by the rules."

But obviously...

Rust Bone couldn't help asking.

Falling into nothingness.

In these repeated restarting worlds, apart from Zhou Ji, who had died violently.

To simulate such a real world as it is now, the Deep Sea, which had been upgraded eleven times, could not do it.

Tao Biao quickly said, "How could that be? This disciple has never regretted this choice!"

"Take the time to rest."

Luo Er's expression was full of worry.

"There's a certain probability, but I can't guess it."

"You..."

"Yes, but not completely."

Gu Shen spoke solemnly.

"Do you think... is this accidental or inevitable?

But again and again, it was still some of it.

Luo Er frowned and said, "But how can you survive once a source quality storm of this scale strikes?"

Tao Biao said in a deep voice.

Tao Biao said sharply, "If it can freely manipulate the source quality storm to strike, then there's no point in you hiding anywhere. It can even manipulate that level of source quality storm... It can even carry out a dimensionality reduction strike against the Outsiders on the first day of the restart, but it hasn't done so."

He looked at his intertwined fingers and said seriously, "After the eleventh upgrade of the Deep Sea, the computing power underwent a qualitative change. But even so, it cannot deduce the broken world trajectory. In other words, if this is a game, the 'core brain' that can support the operation of this game has been upgraded at least seventeen times by the Deep Sea."

This world's spiritual drain on everyone was real. If the Outsiders chose to impact the truth of the world again and again, then they would suffer all kinds of attacks from the world's will.

Because humans currently have no concept of the evolutionary path of the Deep Sea, no one knows what kind of miracle the Deep Sea can create after the next computing power upgrade.

Zhong Wei said in a deep voice, "Isn't this to say that... what you are doing now threatens this restarting world."

The voice came from a very distant place, as if it came from another continent.

Gu Shen took a deep breath and finally asked the question hidden deepest in his heart.

Zhou Ji said word by word, "You have to assume... that there is such a main brain in this restarting world. The meaning of the existence of this main brain is to let you immerse yourselves in the 'restarting world' and prevent you from finding a way to leave. To achieve this goal, what it needs to do is very simple. It only needs to restart enough times, and your spirits will naturally 'be confused'."

"Although that's what you say..."

Even higher!
