Bologne reflects on his past and the destructive forces he has witnessed, while Fabien discusses his grand plan to shield the Material Realm. Bologue remains skeptical, deeming it an illusion. The conversation shifts to the Rhapsody family's rise to power and Fabien's potential future as Speaker. Fabien then introduces the concept of déjà vu, leading Bologue to a profound realization: their experiences might be echoes from a previous, reset timeline.

Fabien was overjoyed, "Let’s make a hypothesis, Bologue, let’s assume, what if... we’re not living in the real world?"

Bologue calmly replied, "Are you out of your mind?"

On the surface, it seemed like he dismissed Fabien, but Bologue felt a faint tremor inside. Damn it, he had experienced similar situations. In that fragmented chaos of reality, false stories became true, and true deaths turned into dreamlike tales.

After leaving Daisy Castle, Bologue often fantasized about whether he was living in a story, in a novel being continuously written.

"I’m not crazy; there’s scientific basis for this."

Fabien gestured wildly, "For example... imagine extracting someone’s brain, placing it in a vat filled with nutrients, and simulating real organ perception through various electrical signals, making the brain still feel like it’s living normally."

"Don’t be quick to refute me, Bologue. If you think current human technology can’t achieve this, then let’s put it another way and let a Seeker of Glory from the Void Spirit School intervene in a brain’s perception.

Our vision, smell, touch, pain, etc., are all mediums through which we perceive the world. The final processing of this information still happens in the brain, meaning as long as there is a brain, a Seeker of Glory from the Void Spirit School can completely deceive it, making it believe it’s still truly alive."

Bologue rationally asked, "In theory, this is indeed feasible, but what does this have to do with the earthly Celestial Kingdom you mentioned?"

Fabien paused for a moment, then candidly said, "There’s no relation, no direct connection, but what’s important is the meaning this example holds."

His voice was eerily sharp and cold like a dagger.

"The doubt about the authenticity of the world."

Fabien smiled again, but this time his smile contained an indelible sense of absurdity, filled with the unknown and instability.

"Since the authenticity of the world is shaken, anything becomes possible. We might be a bunch of movie characters, comic characters, novel characters, we might be someone’s dream, or perhaps a sliver of miracle amidst chaos...

Or maybe, we are caught in a world-spanning disorder of the time axis, with past events having occurred countless times."

Bologue pondered deeply, unaffected by Fabien’s words, "So, you think the whole world has long been shrouded by the Fantasy Species, and we are in a massive disorder of the time axis without being aware."

"Exactly. If we manage to create another disorder within this time axis, one big enough to influence the entire world, causing the time axis to completely collapse on its own, we may very well witness the real world."

Fabien murmured, "Think about it, Bologue, Ether, this currency hailed as a miracle, why can it be a currency of miracles?"

Bologue took a deep breath and tiredly replied, "Because here, we are shrouded by the Fantasy Species, by the earthly Celestial Kingdom, and whatever we think of can become reality."

"Perfect."

Fabien clapped vigorously.

Bologue rubbed his head vigorously. Frankly, he just listened to Fabien’s wild ideas as an intriguing tale, but he had to admit, Fabien’s ideas and words were extremely infectious.

This guy had the potential to become a cult leader. If others heard these words, they would likely join Fabien in the grand project of constructing the earthly Celestial Kingdom.

"Then... why?" Bologue asked, "I believe everything has a reason for its birth, a source. Since you hypothesize a time axis disorder that has long enveloped the entire world, why did it come into being?"

"Is it for the absolutely correct and beautiful future of humanity you mentioned earlier, or for something else that we still don’t understand?"

Faced with Bologue’s question, Fabien shook his head blankly. He had never delved deep into these matters; to be precise, it was not within his area of research.

"Then another question, Fabien, who do you think can achieve all this?" Bologue asked wearily, "Who could accomplish such a miraculous project?"

Fabien looked at Bologue in disappointment and helplessly said, "Haven’t you already given the answer yourself?"

Bologue was momentarily stunned, as if an electric current ran through his hair, nerves, and spine. In an instant, Bologue understood and realized he had indeed asked a silly question.

Fabien replied.

"Since it’s a miracle, naturally, it was created by a deity."
