StarTie Simulation: Aren’t you NPCs?

Chapter 231 Epilogue (Part 4)

Wu Xuan's words caused the characters floating up and down in front of him to stop for a moment, as if he was thinking about how to ask the next question.

But Wu Xuan didn't care whether his words had any impact on IX, nor did he care what kind of agreement that "himself" had reached with IX.

——He just wanted to know when he could leave here.

Of course, it's okay to know the truth, but you can't just let him talk here for a long time and not give him anything, right?

Besides, Wu Xuan was very clear that he was still in a simulation game. After all, his "self-destructor" status had not been lifted yet, which meant... he could really seek death.

Just as Wu Xuan was thinking this, the characters in front of him changed again, and finally formed a string of characters that Wu Xuan could hardly understand.

"What do you think nothingness is like?"

Seeing the string of characters in front of him, Wu Xuan was slightly stunned. He really couldn't understand why IX would ask such a question.

"You are clearly a star god who is at the farthest end of the path of 'nothingness', why would you ask me such a question?"

Wu Xuan couldn't help but murmur in his heart, but he didn't dwell on it too much. After all, he had never experienced such a thing, so he couldn't have a different definition for the hypothesis he proposed.

Thinking of this, Wu Xuan turned his thoughts to the third question of IX.

"What does nothingness look like...? Nothingness should have no shape."

Wu Xuan pondered for a moment and replied.

"The opposite of nothingness is existence, and whether it is the existence of life, the existence of value, or the existence of self-worth, it is tangible, or... can be guessed."

"Just like the question just now, why does life sleep? In my opinion, this question is no different from "how should life face death"."

"I just said that the end of life is death, and life falling into sleep means rest, but... it's not all rest."

"The meaning of falling asleep is to divide the grand life into simple days, and then live day by day, so death is the final node."

“When facing death, we also need to finish what we should do in the world so that we can leave this world peacefully.”

"Only at this moment can you face the dead in another world calmly, because you have done a good job."

"If birth is the beginning, then death is the end; if waking up is the beginning, then falling asleep is the end; if this moment is the beginning, the next moment is the end; if the arising of thought is the beginning, the cessation of thought is the end."

"From this perspective, every day and every moment of life is a process of transition from birth to death. It's just that this process is so short that we don't have time to be afraid."

"So each of us must decide for ourselves how to live a full, happy, morally and meaningful life."

“This sounds far from nothingness, but on the contrary, nothingness is the basis of existence. Only by recognizing the meaninglessness of the world itself can we truly exist in this world.”

Having said this, Wu Xuan took a deep breath, then raised his head and looked at the words in front of him and continued:

"But as the other extreme opposite of existence, nothingness should not be observed. That's why I say... you are real, IX."

"To put it very offensively, perhaps... you are not nihilistic enough."

Wu Xuan said this with a calm expression, as if he had really gone further on the road of "nothingness" than IX.

But in a sense...IX is indeed not nihilistic enough.

IX represents the extreme of nothingness. As a concept that is completely opposite to "existence", if "nothingness" really reaches its end, then the entity it corresponds to cannot exist.

To give a very simple example, if the "self-destructors" take this path, they will eventually be gradually eliminated by their own sense of nothingness, and they will disappear from this world. This is the complete disappearance of "existence".

But why did the Star God who was at the farthest end of the "void" not follow this rule? Or why didn't He disappear when He had clearly reached the farthest end?

Thinking of this, a look of realization flashed across Wu Xuan's blue eyes, and then he murmured:

"Chaos Doctor..."

This is the only concept that can explain why "nothingness" still exists truly in this world.

Some "self-destructors" will choose to rebel. They are committed to finding the meaning of their own existence and healing the emptiness of others.

And in the process of healing others and finding their own meaning, their "self-destruction" will be constantly extended, extended, and extended again, and they will either fall before dawn or live in dawn.

The division of the "Chaos Physician" camp made Wu Xuan realize how to explain the meaning of IX's "existence" that did not conform to basic logic.

To be precise, it's not that IX is not nihilistic enough, but that he is very nihilistic, but still believes that this universe has meaning.

He unconditionally opens his destiny to all living beings in the universe, and they can find the meaning of their own existence by obtaining his power.

If we were to divide IX into a camp...

He is the most powerful "Chaos Doctor" in the entire universe.

Thinking of this, Wu Xuan slowly raised his head. This time he did not look at the floating words in front of him, but looked at the pair of eyes in the distance.

"As a philosophical researcher, I used to think that the 'nothingness' Star God was just a concept, but when I stand here, what I see is your existence."

"True 'nothingness' cannot be recognized, so the moment I saw your existence, you changed from 'nothingness' to 'existence'."

"The fact that you exist turns 'nothingness' into 'existence', so 'nothingness' is the broadest of the eighteen paths of destiny in this universe, bar none."

"Your shadow equally covers the universe, so for those who have been trying to find their own meaning since birth, you are "nothingness", because to them, you are meaningless."

"But for those lives that have lost their meaning or have begun to doubt their own meaning..."

“You give them a final destination, a visible end, an absolute rightness, a gentle embrace, so that they will not really become ‘nothing’.”

"How is it? Does this answer... satisfy you, IX?"
