Chapter 239: The Real Illusion

If illusions are the 'visualization' of Midgard's eternal observer state, then how exactly are the illusion creatures born?

The clone felt that this must have happened by accident.

Although creatures like Midgard rarely allow accidents to occur, the generation of the Midgard Void, for example, is calculated to an extremely complex level.

The clone also thought so. It felt that creatures like Midgard might be able to calculate what would happen after its death... a long time later.

This allows it to make everything run as it wishes without causing any impact on the void.

However, the clone still believed that the appearance of the phantom creatures was something that Midgard had not taken into account.

Because...it is the first phantom creature.

During the long investigation, the clone learned about many phantom creatures.

These creatures suddenly discovered that they were an illusion and were wandering around in the "illusion world".

Most of them are very confused about the situation around them and have no idea what to do.

The clone discovered that they all had one thing in common, which was that they were all born later than their clones.

The clone has a way to know the lifespan of phantom creatures, which is calculated from their 'awakening'.

These creatures discovered that they were phantom creatures later than their clones, and the clone can be said to be the first phantom creature.

These phantom creature clones discovered that they were all created by themselves.

All the illusions in the illusion world are not actually living creatures themselves. All they can do is demonstrate past history.

But they have the potential to... become living things.

That is mainly due to the influence of the consciousness of the clone.

It can be said that each of Sharin's clones has a small part of Sharin's consciousness, and this consciousness has some impact on the Land of Illusion.

To put it simply, it is similar to the control Sharlene has over her body now.

Sharin still has to use a state similar to "condensation of nothingness" to control her normal void body through unpredictable places.

When Midgard died, it used something to allow its eternal observer state to manifest in the form of an illusion world in the Collapse Void.

The clone is still unclear about what Midgard used, but the illusion world was not created from the beginning, and it is not a complete memory of Midgard. It may be necessary to detect the surrounding void environment to form this illusion world.

In short, during the process of its formation, it came into contact with...Sharin's consciousness.

It may be that it came into contact with the normal void Sharin's clone after detecting it, or for some other reason.

Then, after being influenced by Sharin's consciousness, this clone was born in the illusion space.

It actually has no direct connection with the real Sharin clone, and it can be said that it is not directly transformed from the real clone.

Rather, it was Sharin's consciousness... that distorted a small part of the data in the illusion world, leading to the birth of this clone.

To be precise, it led to the 'awakening' of this avatar.

If it weren't for the influence of Sharin's consciousness, this clone would not notice that it was an illusion like any other ordinary illusion, but would have been playing the role in its own era.

After awakening, the clone became the first phantom creature.

With the awakening of this avatar, the "distortion" of the illusion world becomes greater and greater, which is also the reason why more and more illusion creatures awaken.

Most of these awakened phantom creatures were in a state of confusion in the early days, and later, as their numbers increased, they became even more... confused.

Some awakened creatures are constantly wandering, and they have no idea what the meaning of everything around them is.

Others, like the clones at the beginning, think that this is a time tunnel, and then they choose an era they like and plan to live there.

Generally speaking, it is difficult for awakened creatures to stay in one place and survive because they are surrounded by flickering illusions.

To creatures using any form of perception, these illusions appear much the same.

However, this is mainly the case if you don't trust them.

In other words, if you think they are false, they will become ethereal, otherwise... they will become real.

It seems that there is a small group of awakened phantom creatures. When they arrive at a location in the phantom world, they think that they have reached the right place and can end their journey through time.

These creatures will find that the originally vague illusions around them are becoming more and more real, and finally become...'substantial' things.

Then, they began to live a normal life here.

The clone has seen many similar examples in the illusion world. Many awakened creatures believe that they are traveling through time or have joined other awakened biological organizations. It is said that the illusion world is a tunnel for time travel.

When they fully believe in this argument, they just need to reach a place where they feel they can settle down... then everything around them will become real, allowing them to live normally.

Of course, to the clone, the illusion world is pure illusion, but the clone can know how other illusion creatures perceive the environment.

What appears around them is related to what they believe.

Therefore, many awakened phantom creatures live in various locations in the phantom world.

These phantom creatures form groups, some are made up of the same species, and some are a mixture of different species.

However, they are the same as the original situation of the clones. After they make the surroundings real, what they can see is a space of a certain size.

They cannot leave this space.

Some creatures didn't care and continued to stay there and develop, while others began to doubt it.

If you are too suspicious of your surroundings, everything around you will return to a state of illusion, which is the same as the situation with your clone.

After some time had passed, the clone discovered that some phantom creatures...had established civilization.

They have never doubted their surroundings, or rather, the entire group has generally no doubts.

Then they developed in a world that became real to them, and slowly developed a fairly large civilization.

Although there is a size limit to the space, it is still sufficient as long as it does not grow too high.

The civilization developed by these phantom creatures is completely unaware that they are illusions. They think they are a normal... civilization living in this era.

The creatures initially lived a normal life until this illusionary world suddenly began to...destroy them.

The clone felt that this might be a mechanism to eliminate anomalies, but it was activated very late.

This is the hollow tumbler that Lin is seeing now.
