Know Yourself in the Dragon World

Chapter 641 The World is a Giant Story Game (1)

Lu Mingze continued, "Nidhoggr once discovered something different through the World Tree. He was not the first guy to sit on the throne, and the existence of the World Tree has never been traced back to its source. In the era when dragons ruled the world, the division of positions was clear. The ministers were the ministers, and the king was the king."

"I feel like you're off track." Han Qiu reminded.

"No, it's not off track." Lu Mingze said, "This is just a repetition to help you understand these things."

"I think you can be more direct. I know as much as you do. I only care about the restart and want to focus on this," said Han Qiu.

While talking with Lu Mingze, Han Qiu was also asking Mr. Han about the situation in his mind.

How did Lu Mingze know these things? Didn't Lu Mingze know about Mr. Han's repeated attempts to pull Han Qiu from different timelines and release them in different timelines?

Mr. Han responded: If I understood everything, wouldn't I have finished the game long ago? Why am I still suffering like this with you?

Han Qiu asked dissatisfiedly: Didn’t you say before that you and Lu Mingze are old friends?

Mr. Han was equally dissatisfied: "Don't mention it. We had a good relationship at the beginning, but it fell apart later. Living with him is like living with a tiger. We can't have a deep friendship."

"Okay." Lu Mingze suddenly spoke up, drawing Han Qiu's attention back. "I compare all the beings in this world to NPCs, humans, hybrids, and dragons. But NPCs are divided into strong and weak, strong like Nidhogg, and weak like a roadside stray dog."

A stray dog ​​on the roadside? Han Qiu instinctively thought of Finger.

Lu Mingze covered his mouth and coughed lightly. The blood on his palm disappeared silently. "Weak NPCs are at the mercy of players, but powerful NPCs can always remember something. Those things that happened in the past have turned into dreams, familiar but impossible to grasp, ethereal. Do you know why Nidhogg created the White King?"

"It's so hard to talk to you. You always make a sudden turn." Han Qiu thought he was going to talk about something important, but it turned out to be just a question. "Didn't he create the White King because he needed someone to help him manage the world? And to relieve his loneliness at the same time."

"These are the hybrids' speculations about the history of dragons, and also the eight kings' misunderstandings of the supreme being who created them. With your current strength and status, do you think it is difficult for you to manage this world?" Lu Mingze asked again.

"Well, it depends on how you manage it. If it's a tyranny, I don't have to think about it at all. I'll just kill anyone who shows up."

"Nidhogg is the representative of tyranny. What energy does he need? None at all. As for loneliness, he was not lonely for a long time. My relationship with him was not bad at the beginning. I could even say it was good."

"You and Nidhogg had a good relationship...in the past?" Han Qiu was a little confused. "Then he brought the eight kings to execute you."

"The whole thing happened because he was unwilling to give up power and change his position. It's normal. It's easier to take it than to let it go."

"understood."

"He created the White King for research. To study that cycle. In the past, he was the king sitting high above the World Tree. He discovered that problem, or that existence, which constantly restarted everything. He was afraid, but also yearned for it, because it was an existence above him. He wanted to gain more power as he had power, so he began to investigate and tried every means to uncover the secrets buried deep behind this world."

"Did he break it? What does this have to do with the creation of the White King and the kings?" Han Qiu asked.

Lu Mingze chuckled: "Your comprehension ability is very poor. I said that powerful NPCs can always remember something."

Han Qiu frowned, his heart trembling, "He wants to create a powerful NPC to find that elusive existence?"

"That's right." Lu Mingze nodded heavily.

"madman."

"You could say it more comprehensively, a madman seeking power. It's normal and not difficult to understand."

"You've seen a lot, species diversity." Han Qiu had nothing to say. He was silent for a while, and his IQ took over. He realized that he had gone off track again, "Why do I feel like we've strayed from the topic again?"

"It also makes it easier for you to understand these things." Lu Mingze said.

"You and your brother are of the same character, no wonder you are brothers. Alas..." Han Qiu's sigh was full of helplessness.

"What do you mean?"

"Lu Mingfei's speech is off-topic and full of nonsense."

"At least what I said is really useful to you." Lu Mingze returned to the topic: "Now let's talk about what the restart of the world has to do with you. I have seen you in my dream."

"You look like... you must be dreaming, right? In other words, you have been dreaming about me?" Han Qiu looked at the entity of Lu Mingze in the jar.

"Yes." Lu Mingze admitted it with a smile. "At first, the outline of the figure was unclear, but it gradually became clearer. Dreams are often a manifestation of memory, or a derivative of it. When I investigated the supreme being, Nidhogg and I worked together. He once told me that he had killed the supreme being in his dreams countless times, in various ways."

"Uh... that means he is not supreme and can be killed by him."

Lu Mingze ignored Han Qiu's words, "The point is not the killing, but the countless times it happened. Later, I slowly began to dream about that supreme being, whose appearance and identity I didn't know. In some dreams, I killed him, and in some dreams, he killed me."

"This supreme guy is really suffering..." Han Qiu sighed.

Lu Mingze still ignored him and continued to narrate: “In the most profound dream, my brother and I, together with Nidhogg, had a common goal to kill that supreme being.”

Han Qiu stopped talking and asked Mr. Han in his mind: Isn’t this a stupid thing you did?

Mr. Han sighed with emotion: The past is like smoke!

"What I said was always blurry and unclear before you came into my sight. But after you came into my sight, it slowly became clear," said Lu Mingze.

Han Qiu nodded, "So you suspect that the existence is me?"

"I was suspicious when you took Norton's authority away. Since it can be restarted countless times and exists like this, I was wondering if I could use it."

"I understand, but you also said that it was all just a dream. Maybe it really is just a dream, and you are overthinking it." Han Qiu said.

Lu Mingze shook his head. “You are the winner now, so of course you can say that. I had another dream last night, and that person was clear, it was you.”

Han Qiu was silent for a moment, no longer wanting to play tricks, "So?"

"I should be the one asking you, why do you insist on persisting despite countless failures? If, I mean if, I didn't have any bad intentions at the beginning, didn't think of using you, but killed you directly, probably everything would have been restarted again." Lu Mingze said weakly.

"Do you believe me when I say I don't know?" Han Qiu sighed, "I am also looking for answers to these questions. The answer is not me, I am the problem, and the answer is this world. I need some help. If you can help me, I think I will get the answer."

"You hope I can let go of my hatred, right?" Lu Mingze asked.

"No, don't seek revenge for the time being. Wait until I figure out everything. It's up to you. How do you think?"

"can."

"Also, I thought Nidhogg was an easy character to deal with, but after hearing what you said, I'm a little worried. I'm afraid I can't handle it alone."

"In the hatred between him and me, one of us must die," said Lu Mingze.

"Thank you." Han Qiu smashed the jar with one punch, just like he had punched through the steel plate before.
