Chapter 223: Closed-Loop Worlds – Surviving for One Day!(2)
Translator: Daoist6fubtiW
Su Yang was a little puzzled. Since breaking the closed-loop world’s evil deity would lead to their death, why didn’t the evil deities set up these closed-loop worlds as unsolvable, where outsiders would be targeted and killed upon entry?
Upon hearing Su Yang’s doubt, Cao Tianle explained, “After an evil deity has woven the world, they can only act according to the world’s rules. They cannot break the rules themselves. However, they can target us within those rules. The events within the closed-loop world are predetermined, such as when crises will occur, and everything is set in stone. When we outsiders enter, the evil deity can only send crises at specific times.”
“As for why they don’t make it unsolvable, based on our speculation, the fundamental requirement for woven worlds is that there must be a solution. As for why a solution is called a ‘closed-loop world,’ it’s because the entities within the closed-loop world, even if there is a solution, are unable to meet the requirements.”
“Evil deities create these worlds and must also exist within them, albeit we don’t know in what way. But even evil deities must operate within the rules. For example, if only Basic Foundation stage power can appear during a specific time, even an evil deity can only utilize that level of power. While it seems like the evil deity is tightly constrained, I know that these evil deities have privileges within the world; it’s just a matter of scale.”
“These outsiders, like us, will inevitably be targeted by the evil deities. However, this is necessary; otherwise, the closed-loop worlds wouldn’t be so challenging to break.”
After Cao Tianle’s explanation, Su Yang had a better understanding.
In the closed-loop worlds woven by evil deities, when events occur and what kind of crisis takes place during specific time periods are all predetermined. In addition, these events must have solutions; otherwise, there would be no world. Evil deities, even when creating such worlds, have to adhere to the rules of the world. For instance, they can only employ powers that match a certain level during specific phases.
Although it appears that evil deities are tightly constrained, Su Yang understood that they have special privileges within these worlds, just on a different scale.
After Su Yang grasped the situation, Cao Tianle extended an invitation, “Su Daoist, our group has occupied a village-level closed-loop world, and our progress in conquering it is good. However, our number is still a bit low. Are you interested in joining us?”
Su Yang naturally had no reason to refuse. He had originally planned to find someone to guide him into the closed-loop worlds, and now that they had invited him, he chose to join.
After agreeing to Cao Tianle’s invitation, they took Su Yang to their team’s resting area.
Cao Tianle’s team had a total of six members, and with Su Yang, they now had seven.
The other five members were named Gu Daofeng, Zhang Xiaoming, Shu Qingqing, An Bowen, and Cai Yiming.
These individuals were all at the Celestial Immortal realm, while Su Yang was the only True Immortal among them. However, they weren’t aware of Su Yang’s realm, assuming he was also a Celestial Immortal.
After getting to know each other a bit, they began to explain the closed-loop world they were currently conquering.
“Su Daoist, the closed-loop world we are conquering is called ‘Survive for a Day.’ The names of these worlds are determined by the universal consciousness, which formulates the world’s name based on the requirements to break the closed-loop world.”
“In this closed-loop world, as long as we can survive for a day, we can shatter the closed-loop world and gain one hundred merit points.”
Su Yang nodded in understanding. One hundred merit points were quite substantial, and he could exchange them for a low-grade Immortal Spring, which required only five hundred merit points.
Afterward, Cao Tianle and his companions explained some basic aspects of the closed-loop world to Su Yang.
Within the span of one day, crises would arise from the apparition of demons during the night. Those demons were possibly the evil deity’s presence within that closed-loop world.
The method to break the loop revolved around a wounded Taoist in the village. According to Cao Tianle, they needed to start by providing medical treatment to the injured Taoist. Then, by fulfilling the Taoist’s requests, they could gradually release their strength and become capable of confronting the demons at night.
Currently, Cao Tianle’s group was stuck at the night stage. After nightfall, they couldn’t withstand the demon attacks. It was certain that they had overlooked certain conditions they hadn’t fulfilled yet, and the problem was they didn’t know what they had missed.
“That’s the basic idea. We’ll discuss the specifics once we’re inside,” Cao Tianle said. “We entered the world and failed yesterday. Today, this closed-loop world is about to replay, so we need to go now.”
“Alright,” Su Yang agreed with a nod.
Su Yang followed the group, and in a flash, they arrived in an area covered by black mist.
