er of the Shan Hai Wen Dao branch sect, Jiang Yun!""What!" Elder An jumped up again and said, "Why didn't you say so earlier Come, follow me quickly to see the Sect Master and ask for instructions. At..."Who!"

Jiang Yun suddenly turned around and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

At the same time, the multicolored mist surrounding his body also dissipated, and a figure appeared before him.

At the sight of this man, a flash of cold light appeared in Jiang Yun's eyes. His whole body was filled with energy, and he was about to speak, but he closed his mouth instead, his face contorting into an expression of confusion.

He even quietly stepped back a few steps, widening the distance between himself and the other person.

At this very moment, the one standing before Jiang Yun is naturally that demonic being of Dao nature, Man Shang.

However, Jiang Yun noticed that although the other party's eyes were focused on him, there was no trace of spirit in them, they were utterly empty, like they had no soul.

And that aged voice just now was clearly not Mu Shang's.

For such a situation, Jiang Yun was no stranger. This must have been someone else taking over his body.

But it was hard to believe that Man Shuang would be possessed, so Jiang Yun kept his guard up.

Jiang Yun's reaction fell into Man Shang's eyes, and in an instant, Man Shang grinned and let out a satisfied laugh: "Not bad, very observant!"

As soon as those words left his mouth, his body suddenly toppled backward. From within him, a translucent figure of an elderly man with entirely gray hair materialized.

Looking at the old man, a look of surprise appeared in Jiang Yun's eyes.

No matter what, had they ever considered that within Man Sang's body, there truly existed the presence of another person In other words, Man Sang was actually possessed by someone else.

The illusory old man clearly knew what Jiang Yun was thinking, and he smiled faintly: "I am not possessing you, I, am Man Shang!"

Before Ginger Cloud could ask, the elder continued, "Or perhaps, in this illusionary realm, my role is to be Man Shang!"

Illusion, characters!

These two words stirred a sudden movement in Ginger Cloud's heart. She vaguely recalled something, but for a moment, she couldn't quite grasp the key point, so she continued to watch the old man with caution.

"You don't need to think about it, I was also the one who entered after the opening of the Nine Desolations and was trapped inside ever since. Until now, I haven't left."

"And people like me, there are so many more in this dream!"

Every being you encounter here could be played by someone like me.

Under the elder's explanation, Ginger Cloud gradually recalled what he had vaguely thought of in his mind, and this also brought a look of surprise to his face.

After a moment's thought, Jiang Yun slowly spoke, "Senior means that every person in this illusionary realm, like Man Tuntian and Huang Qinglan, are actually being played by those cultivators who entered the Nine Nether Realms but were unable to leave"

Seeing that Ginger Cloud understood so quickly, the elder's face revealed a look of joy and he said: "Not bad, you have a good comprehension!"

>Apart from the characters, even everything you see, the world itself, and even the trees and plants, are actually all real.

"It's just that a little bit of time was added to the rule, making these things revert back to their original appearance."

After receiving the elder's confirmation, Jiang Yun fell into a daze.

Now, he finally understood.

Here, it is indeed still an illusion. But the reason everything appears so real and flawless is because, at its core, everything here is truly real.

Or, they are all wearing a veneer of reality.

Lu Lun once said that the last time the Nine Nether Realms opened, over ten thousand people entered the realm of Fallen Worlds. In the end, only Lu Lun himself emerged alive.

And Lü Lun also suspected that the monks who remained inside were not dead, but still trapped within the illusion.

Now, the elder's words proved Lü Lun's suspicions correct!

The old man's voice then continued, "Each time the Nine Nether Realms open, it is actually the opening of an illusion."

“We will all transform into various different roles and enter a dream realm. When the dream realm ends, we will fall into a state of slumber, waiting for the next dream realm to open, so that we can play another different role.”

Thus, the cycle continues endlessly, with no end in sight. There is no escape from life, nor freedom from death!

Besides us, many beings who enter the Realm of Nine Extinctions each time may also be chosen to become certain roles.

"Of course, it's fortunate that you can still remain true to yourself like this."

In the elder's narration, Jiang Yun finally understood the true situation of this desolate Nine Lands!

Actually, every time the Nine Nether Realms opens, the nine sacred artifacts within will use powerful force to create a kind of illusion. All creatures who enter the Nine Nether Realms will, within this illusion, complete different tasks to obtain corresponding rewards.

Illusions are not illusory, because the things that make up illusions exist in reality within the Nine Nether Realms of Extinction.

However, because too much time has passed, these things may have become rotten and aged, so the Nine Clan Sacred Object adds the power of temporal laws upon them.

As for the beings that exist within illusions, most are also real.

It is played by cultivators who have entered the Nine Desolation Lands, as well as those cultivators who previously remained within the Nine Desolation Lands.

Thinking about this, Jiang Yun looked at the old man and said, "In this kind of acting, logically speaking, the actor shouldn't be able to know, right"

"Great!"

The old man's face was filled with even more contentment as he said, "If it were someone entering for the first time, there might still be a chance to remain aware. But those of us who have existed here before are impossible to awaken. We are completely unaware."

Of course, if you are unable to leave the Nine Hells this time successfully, then you will become like us, completely losing your mind from then on.

Ginger Cloud stared at the elder and pressed, "What's going on with that senior"

The elder before my eyes was clearly someone who had entered the Nine Netherworlds of Extinction in the past, yet his current appearance was unmistakably that of a clear-minded individual, aware of his role as Man Shang!

"I am able to stay awake because my identity and body are special."

Moreover, in the last dream realm, I unexpectedly entered into our tribe's sacred artifact while playing my role. Although it didn't make me the spirit of the artifact, it woke me up!

Jiang Yun's eyes suddenly narrowed. "Was that senior also one of the Nine Clans"

"Very well, I am a descendant of the demon race!"

"Demon clan!"

These two characters caused Ginger Cloud to immediately lift the sleeve of her arm, revealing the black markings on her skin. "Are these demonic tattoos left by you, senior"

"Yes, this pattern is called the Vajra Demon Pattern. It's the second-ranked demon pattern among our Demonic Race's demonic bodies, and I, by birth, possess the Vajra Demonic Body!"

The Demon Race, although one of the Nine Races of Extinction, has not disappeared from history like the Waste Tribe but has survived.

Even Jiang Yun had encountered several demon cultivators.

Of course, Jiang Yun also knew that the strength of the demons lay in their physical bodies, especially among the demons there were ten very famous Demon Bodies.

For example, the Tianmo body ranked third and the Di Mo body ranked sixth!

Keiyun Jiang never expected to encounter the second-ranked Vajra Body within this illusionary realm.

And this descendant of the Demon Clan even tattooed a Diamond Demon Mark on their own body.

"What is the purpose of this magic pattern"

"I bestow upon you my Diamond Demon Body!"
