Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 1010 The Law of the Gray Realm

"Jiangcheng Media?! Oh my god, Lin Yu, which subject is wrong with you... In my last memory, weren't you always among the top students in junior high school?"

Lin Zhao, who was holding a bowl of rice at the table, showed an expression of disbelief. After she placed the rice in front of Lin Yu, she sat down and sighed somewhat self-blame.

"But that's not right... If you calculate the time this way, my true 'death' should have been during your second year of high school. In other words, this is all my fault—oh my goodness, I should have stayed two more years."

Looking at Lin Zhao's self-blaming expression, Lin Yu could no longer say the words that were on the tip of his tongue: "Jiangcheng Media is actually a first-class university."

Lin Zhao seemed to have high expectations for himself, probably thinking that he would be in the top two.

It seems that my grades in junior high school were indeed at this level.

In response to this, Lin Yu could only shrink his head, then lowered his head to eat, and said vaguely: "It's not really your fault, sister... I also haven't been paying attention to my studies."

Although the rice soaked in fish soup was indeed delicious, Lin Yu felt that along with the family affection that had been delayed for several years, he also felt the pressure from his sister.

Lin Zhao held his chopsticks and shook his head. "Forget it, Jiangcheng Media is Jiangcheng Media. At least you chose a major you like, which is good... It's all because of this damn 'Death Game'."

Lin Yu changed the subject: "Yes, let's not talk about those bad things... I'm actually doing okay... How about you, sister?"

Lin Zhao shrugged. "As you can see, even though I have a house and a car, and I'm supporting a high school student version of you—this 'you' simulated by this gray area is far inferior to the real you. I guess if you develop normally and take the college entrance examination, you won't get any great results."

"But fortunately, my business is still thriving... I now have my own restaurant, which serves high-end fusion cuisine. It's quite popular and does much better than the small restaurant in Jiangcheng."

Lin Yu nodded: "That's really good... So what is the situation with this 'Yuedu'?"

"Oh, this is a world specially modified to trap me. The Gray Domain still respects me quite a bit—and of course, it seems they respect you too," Lin Zhao wiped his mouth with a tissue. "I've already noticed the unusual celestial phenomena before. A Living Authority came and left, right? Judging from the looks of it, it must be the suspicious Atu Atris."

Lin Yu was surprised again.

Even though this Lin Zhao was not a complete form, she seemed to understand this world better than she imagined...

"So, what is this gray area all about?"

Lin Yu asked curiously.

Lin Zhao laughed: "You've hit the nail on the head. Very good, Xiaoyu. It seems that you haven't become addicted to this illusory beauty because of your reunion with me."

"The Right to Live should have already told you that the Gray Realm is structured in two layers: one is the cut-off 'Surface World', and the other is the 'Mirror World', right?"

Lin Zhao said, and Lin Yu nodded: "Yes, that guy told me the general structure of the Gray Domain."

"This is only half the truth, and it's even misleading... But that guy is completely controlled by the Gray Domain's will, so he can only tell you this much." Lin Zhao put down his chopsticks. "But I'm different. I can tell you more - I'm not here to play house with this world's will, and it's not in vain."

"Each of the 'small worlds' in the Gray Domain is a real material world, and everyone living within it...except for that idiotic version of you who was used to appease me, are essentially real individuals with independent souls and minds. However, the rules within them, and the cognition of all souls, can be modified—because the rules of the 'surface world' and the 'mirror world' are different, and between the two worlds, the mirror world holds the dominant position."

"The Gray Domain's Mirror World is inhabited by those who truly remain 'awake'... According to my theory, around the time the 'Death Game' first descended upon the 'Mirror World', the powerful within this world decided to rebel against it. The method they found to defy the will of the 'Game' was to exploit the inter-world connections created by the 'Death Game' itself, destroying and colonizing another world—what is now the 'Surface World'."

"The powerful beings in the Mirror World have divided the surface world into approximately three hundred 'small worlds', covering the 'Mirror World' like a protective film. They have created a stage in each world that is particularly suitable for various 'players' to perform. They also adjust each world based on the performance of each new 'player', ensuring that players sent in by the 'Death Game' will most likely enter the small world directly."

"Even if a player accidentally enters the 'Mirror World', they will immediately send them into one of those small worlds—and, they will actively try to kill some of the players and leave their souls here, using the players' special abilities to expand and stabilize the rules of the small world."

"So, you can think of this world as being like the world in The Matrix - except both sides are real material worlds. But ultimately, one side is a manufactured 'false reality', and the other side is completely real."

"Those powerful individuals in the Mirror World have created instruments and equipment capable of directly manipulating the rules of smaller worlds and the cognition of all the souls within them. With technological prowess nearing 'godlike', they dominate these smaller worlds, minimizing the impact of the 'Death Game' on their own world at the expense of another, and preventing the emergence of true gods. The 'Death Game' causes the 'Original Power' of the world to emanate and form authority, leading to the emergence of powerful life forms like gods, whose individual power expands infinitely and whose individual will can directly influence the operation of the world. This seems to be something that none of the individuals with decisive influence in the Gray Domain want to see."

"Of course, from the authority released from the small world, they will select a portion of souls to combine their own will with that authority, forming a new life form called the 'Right of Life'."

"And to prevent anyone from coveting greater power or becoming corrupted, those people cannot directly interfere with these small worlds and the Right to Life... They seem to have connected the 'world will' of the two worlds with the devices that control the small worlds, and have also input some 'criteria' into the selfless world will... So, in a sense, this world, at least for all the small worlds, truly does have some kind of 'Heavenly Way'."

Lin Yu was a little surprised when he heard this, but not surprised.

Although Lin Zhao now seems to be just an ordinary person living in the small world of Yudu, Lin Yu has no doubt that she can investigate all of this clearly.

Of course, sometimes Lin Zhao's sharpness is also a trouble for Lin Yu.

For example, the topic just now was Lin Zhao telling Lin Yu the information he had collected about the Gray Domain, but the next second, it suddenly returned to Lin Yu.

"Come to think of it, planning to resurrect me probably took up a lot of your energy, didn't it?"

Lin Zhao asked suddenly.
