Chapter 717 - Reality and Fantasy (2/2)
Of course, the quests given out by the King of Gods would not lead them to a path of absolute destruction. Destroying a world was no easy task. For starters, destroying a small village would suffice. Eventually, we could up the scale and take out entire planets.
Zhao Youyue was confident about this easy victory. She was about to possess a godlike character with maxed out planning, analysis, research, and strategizing. The world was beautiful. All is well.
If ‘Chu Xuan’s’ iconic card was obtained, her intelligence levels would surpass new boundaries. Part of her cognitive processes would be driven by something best described as an autopilot brain assisting software. She had never been more eager for a character card.
Of course, she was also prepared for the possibility of its abilities being watered down in real life. After all, dark technology might just be too much for the real world to take in at the moment…
Anything that stands out would be hammered down like a stubborn nail. However, if she had the researching abilities of ‘Chu Xuan,’ she could start from scratch in real life. This could support Lady Zhao’s plans of starting a high-tech electronics company.
Therefore, she might not end up reproducing the effects seen in the novel. Zhao Youyue would have to personally lay out the finishing touches to settle for a compromise in the real world. The character card’s ability could not produce miracles out of thin air, or go beyond the rules of reality.
That being said, reality did permit the existence of some magic and supernatural phenomenon. Look at the ‘Wen Qingyu’ character card. It had the ability to eat books. However, in the real world, she was not eating books, not literally, at least. To others, she would just appear to be fully absorbed in her books.
The real world was precise, like clockwork. That rigidity only drove its inhabitants to be particularly imaginative. They would always fantasize about other worlds that contained sorcery, magic, or unusual abilities, etc. If one already had to deal with such elements in the real world, why dream about them?
Regardless, Zhao Youyue was very satisfied with how things were. She would never have to worry about the real world ending up like the Source World. World-ending levels of chaos, illusion, disenchantment, and sorrow would never happen in the real world…
If the real world collapsed, those fantastic creators would not be free to work their minds.
Reality was boring and full of limitations. At the same time, it drove its inhabitants into believing the impossible. But, of course, they were possible! The only problem was that they happened to break the rules of reality…
From another perspective, if the ability could conform to the rules of reality, it would have no problem manifesting in any Source World. The Source World, in a sense, was reality with an altered level of energy. It was powered by the brains of various creators. As those otherworldly ideas took form, the world would wrap itself around them, trying to be one with them.
Zhao Youyue’s character cards might just end up as watered down versions of their fictional counterparts. However, the Source World would permit the full release of their powers! The Source World was a world of iconic works that was free of creators’ intervention!
