Chapter 23: The truth about the gap between worlds

Paine walked to the TV and was surprised to find that the film shown on it was a fragment of his own experience in the world of the little match girl.

From the initial confrontation with other players, to the shock of Charlotte's appearance, to the battle of wits and courage with the short-haired girl... the final scene is fixed on the little girl Linda waving goodbye to Paine, overlooking the city outline like a Christmas tree The same shocking scene of the city of Copenhagen burning, with rising black smoke pouring into the east!

"It turns out that the world was not a normal world. It was just a nightmare of the little match girl Linda. If we really treat it as a real world to conquer, I'm afraid no number of lives would be enough. If it weren't for the last chance to go back, If this bug is stuck in this illusory world, I will definitely die in it."

Paine murmured, "No wonder that world is so abnormal. The other players must have entered as punishment for breaking the rules. There is no life or death at all. Beatrice Castiglione is This woman killed my life!"

After the words "Punishment Mission Complete" flashed, a series of words began to flash on the screen.

Paine instantly felt that he had control of the room. With a thought, the sofa moved in front of him. With a wave of his hand, the entire room was replaced by the background of the cosmic starry sky.

"The feeling of omnipotence is actually only the junior level authority. What if it is the intermediate or high-level authority?" Paine had a great time. After the white fog receded, the room was already about two to three hundred square meters in size. Paine set up this place to look like the Blue Star home in his previous life.

"There is also a junior smart butler."

As soon as Paine thought of this, a sphere with white light appeared in front of his eyes.

"The junior smart butler is at your service, Mr. Gamer Paine. Do you have any questions?"

This is a voice that has no emotion at all and does not identify male or female.

Pan took a deep breath. All this time, Pan had been carrying out his mission in a daze. He knew almost nothing about the Gap in the World.

"What is the gap between the worlds? What great existence dominates this game?"

"The standard answer is relatively long. Does Mr. Paine, the player, want to hear the most concise answer directly?"

Paine blinked and studied. He didn't expect that this junior intelligent butler was indeed somewhat intelligent.

"Of course I want to listen to the standard answer. I read the Spring and Autumn Annals!"

"The standard answer has a total of 632 words and takes 2 minutes to read."

"The Gap of All Worlds is not a material entity, nor is it a spiritual existence. The Gap of All Worlds is between reality and fantasy, wandering in the gap between worlds. It seems to exist and seems not to exist, and it is also real. A strange and imaginary space. This is the center of all worlds. An existence from the beginning of eternity discovered this place and used its characteristics as the center of all worlds to travel around the worlds."

“Without the gap between worlds, it would be very difficult to travel from one world to another. There are only two ways to carry out such an ultra-long-distance journey: either let the world reject you and make a dangerous leap upward; Either you spend a lot of time calculating the weakest node in the world, and then try to break the node and escape before the world repairs itself. Neither of these two methods can choose your destination, and the risk factor is also quite high."

"Because he has mastered the fast way to travel, during the long journey, this powerful being who controls the gaps in the world has become more powerful. His knowledge and power have exceeded his own imagination. But even so, But he found that the world he had not yet visited was endless. Even as strong as he was, he was tired of this endless exploration."

"He decided to stay in the rift and take a nap for a while, and let other beings help him explore. So he gave other life forms that accidentally entered the rift of all worlds the authority to freely travel between the rift of all worlds and other worlds, and formulated the initial rules .

"He calls this kind of journey of exploration a game. Whether passively or actively participating in this game, all beings are players."

"When this being first woke up from a nap, the scale of the game was already very large. He thought this form was very interesting and the effect was very good. So he opened the game to a very small number of powerful players. With more authority and more complete rules injected into it, it then entered a deeper slumber.”

"Every time he wakes up, he gets more powerful. Every time he wakes up, he makes more rules."
