Mo Xuanyi's gaze was unfocused, as if he was looking at somewhere else through the clouds in the sky.

Qin Zhen did not urge him, but instead took out a pot of wine from her Qiankun Ring and silently filled Mo Xuanyi's cup.

"For a moment, I didn't know where to start."

Qin Zhen suggested, "Why don't you start with the thing that impressed you the most?"

"The thing that impressed me the most was probably the time when I ascended to heaven."

"What happened that time that left the deepest impression on you?" Qin Zhen was a little curious.

Although Mo Xuanyi was talking about something that deeply touched him, his expression was as calm as ever.

"Do you know about my ascension?" Mo Xuanyi did not directly answer Qin Zhen's question, but asked her instead.

Qin Zhen nodded: "I heard that after you ascended, you came back and warned others not to ascend."

Mo Xuanyi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he laughed: "So that's how the outside world spreads it."

“So, what is the real situation?”

Mo Xuanyi frowned when he heard this, and suddenly he asked again: "Have you ever eaten eggs?"

"Oh, I have eaten it."

This question is really inconsistent with the current situation and seems a bit inexplicable and abrupt.

But Mo Xuanyi felt the same way when he recalled the scene he saw when he ascended.

"After I ascended, what I saw was not the upper realm and the gods and Buddhas, but... things that looked like eggs."

"Ah?" This was a situation Qin Zhen had never expected.

A picture suddenly appeared in Qin Zhen's mind. In the picture, eggs were neatly placed in grids and densely arranged on the supermarket shelves.

"I saw the person who ascended with me escape from the eggshell and quickly turned into a point of light and dissipated. Not even a trace of breath was left. I was sucked into another eggshell and survived."

"Could it be..." Qin Zhen vaguely realized something.

Mo Xuanyi turned around and met Qin Zhen's eyes.

"It's just as you thought. Those eggs are small worlds. At the end of the story, there is actually nothing outside. At least in the world we are in now, ascension is just a lie."

Qin Zhen probably understood.

In this novel, the plagiarist Su Rui simply took the world view set by Qin An Ning, but did not set up the world after ascension by herself.

Therefore, these powerful beings who are said to have ascended to heaven by others, in fact, their ascension is equivalent to "finishing", and they will only appear in the background of the story and in other people's lines, and will never appear in public again.

Useless characters disappear into nothingness, which can be said to be a kind of erasure of the plot.

Unless, one day Su Rui remembers to write about the things in the upper world and brings these characters out again, they will probably come back to life.

However, considering Su Rui’s writing style, even if she writes about the upper world, it would probably be full of gods falling in love with the heroine, right?

Hmm...it's better to die and become a legend in the background.

But if you think about it from another angle, Mo Xuanyi and other powerful people who have ascended to heaven thought that they had finally broken through the way of heaven, achieved the great way, and finally got rid of the shackles of fate, but in the end -

From beginning to end, they were just "tools" in the plot, and even their life and death were not in their own control.

The so-called changing one's destiny by practicing Taoism and ascending to heaven is nothing but a joke.

If Mo Xuanyi was in a bad mood, he would have exploded a long time ago, right?

Anyway, Qin Zhen didn't dare to imagine how desperate she would be if she discovered the truth.

Only someone like Mo Xuanyi could talk about these things so lightly after experiencing such things, right?

"Then the other eggshell..." Could it be the one she was thinking of?

The comic book that Poyun Sect originally created? The comic book that Qin Anning drew with great care?

Or is it the real world they live in?

Qin Zhen didn't need to think too much, Mo Xuanyi soon gave the answer: "The place where I was really born."

Sure enough, it’s the comic world!

Perhaps it was because Qin An Ning in reality picked up his paintbrush again and continued to update the "Two or Three Things in the Immortal World" that was about to be taken off the shelves and deleted, that Mo Xuanyi, who should have been erased and turned into a background board, was able to return to his original world.

"There, I slowly remembered a lot of things, but I still didn't know why this happened. It was like something restricted my thinking and prevented me from coming to that conclusion."

"and then?"

"Then..." Mo Xuanyi's expression suddenly softened. "I tried to do something I wouldn't do otherwise. I even thought about dying."

"Senior Mo, this is not something you can say with a smile!" Qin Zhen was stunned.

Mo Xuanyi felt that that period of time was an interesting experience.

"Before, I felt that I was the ancestor of the Poyun Sect and had to behave like an ancestor. I felt like I was trapped in a box and couldn't cross the line. That was the first time I tried to cross the line."

Could that frame be the so-called “personality”?

After all, whether it is a comic or a novel, the character settings will be done before the story begins.

Some are detailed, while others may only contain two lines of text, but without exception, they are all marked with their respective attributes and labels to fix the character.

However, the character "Qin Zhen" in the comics is different.

Qin Anning created that character because of herself. She said at the time:

"Zhenzhen, you don't know, but I particularly like to draw stories about you, because if it's you, I don't need to think hard about what the character should do here, I naturally know what you would do. Your storyline is not so much my own thinking, but rather it's what you would do, and I restored it."

This is probably the biggest difference between Qin Zhen and other characters.

She has no character setting, so she won't be framed, she is a projection of her true self.

Until it was moved into a plagiarized novel and was changed in a very strange way.

So, in her previous life, she was also trapped and lived within the set plot.

"So when you crossed the line, what consequences did you encounter?" Qin Zhen collected her thoughts and asked.

The smile on Mo Xuanyi's face deepened: "One day, I heard a strange voice."

"what sound?"

"A very gentle woman's voice, she said, 'I don't know what happened to the Xizhi Xianjun I drew. He seemed to come alive and have his own ideas. When I picked up the pen, I was thinking about drawing it this way, but when I finished, I found that the story was completely different from what I had originally imagined. It was as if I was just a recorder and narrator, not a creator.'"
