The two of them heard Qi Xia’s somewhat crazed statement, their expressions now full of words left unspoken.

Even Earth-Tiger, who had already seen great storms and waves, could not understand why someone would actively plant a tumor in their brain.

Those who could maintain their sanity here, whether “Participants” or “Zodiacs,” everyone’s ultimate goal was to escape. But in such circumstances, would someone actually plant a brain tumor in their own head?

Even if they could truly get out, would they just die outside?

“Sheep… Qi Xia.” Earth-Tiger said with wide eyes. “So you’re saying you are ‘Endless Life’… has this matter already been verified?”

“Yes.” Qi Xia said. “Although I haven’t personally stood before the screen to see those four characters appear, based on this cycle, the behavior of all the ‘Heaven-Level’ and ‘Divine Beasts’ has already given me the answer. I am the living ‘God.'”

Earth-Tiger furrowed his brow, his face still showing an expression of disbelief.

“This is truly absurd…” His plump cheeks constantly displayed a contemplative expression. “Qi Xia, you… what exactly did you do in the real world?”

“I… haven’t I told you before?” Qi Xia asked in return.

“I only know you were a poor student…” Earth-Tiger’s expression became increasingly strange. “But what were you thinking about when you were in school…? ‘Creating people?'”

“What…?” Qi Xia paused. “What kind of question is that? What does what I was thinking about in school have to do with ‘Endless Life?'”

“Haven’t you realized…?” Earth-Tiger gestured with his hand. “In this place, all the ‘Echoers’ we’ve seen, the abilities they’ve obtained—the vast majority come from their own ‘lives’…”

“I only know that ‘obsession’ affects ‘opportunity.’ Does ‘life’ also affect ‘ability?'”

Qi Xia felt that Earth-Tiger had raised a question he had never noticed before.

“That’s exactly how it is!” Earth-Tiger said. “Every person’s ‘Echo’ isn’t obtained without reason… They all have traces to follow! Think carefully about the people you know… whose ‘Echo’ came out of nowhere? Everyone’s ability must be related to their life experiences!”

If one wanted to know the relationship between each person’s “Echo” and their “life experiences,” not only would one need to be familiar with the other person’s abilities, but also have a general understanding of their life story.

Xu Liunian beside him was an “actor” in the real world, so her ability was called “Transformation”—she could change into the appearance of other people, and the deeper her conviction, the more thorough her transformation.

What about others…?

Chen Junnan had mentioned before that Han Yimo had spread false rumors in the real world that led to someone’s death, so his “Echo” was both his “life experience.” Even if he did nothing, disaster would descend upon his target from the heavens. This disaster not only completely destroyed the other person’s life, but Han Yimo’s remaining years were also troubled. He was the living embodiment of “Inviting Disaster.”

Officer Li died struggling with a con artist. Back when he needed to save his daughter, he couldn’t pull out money from his pocket. When struggling with the con artist, he couldn’t pull out his gun in time. The two most difficult choices in his life were both missed, thus he became “Reaching into Bag.” In the “Land of the End,” as long as his subconscious was strong enough, he could pull out anything.

If one continued thinking along these lines, even without knowing someone’s “life experiences,” it seemed possible to make educated guesses.

Qiao Jiajin’s “Breaking All Methods” could forcibly break through everyone else’s “Echoes,” forcing even the most powerful “Participants” to duel with him only through the fairest means. And he kept saying “Don’t cheat”—thus inferring that the most significant events in his life experiences were related to “cheating,” or perhaps related to “gambling games with deception.” When this happened, it led to him being unable to “protect” certain things, so when he wanted to “protect,” he became “Breaking All Methods.”

Zhang Shan’s ability could give him physical qualities comparable to Earth-Level for a short time. Looking at his muscular physique… it’s possible that his life’s pursuit was always hoping to be stronger. Because he wasn’t strong enough at certain moments, he “lost” something, so when he “wanted to win,” he became “Heavenly Vigor.”

Qi Xia increasingly felt this deduction was very reasonable—it could be applied to almost all known “Echoes.”

Thinking this way, behind Chen Junnan’s “Taking the Blame” there should also be a desperate story. In his life experiences, he once extremely wanted to help others bear something, and it was very likely a bad thing, but he couldn’t do it and was haunted by regret. So much so that when he arrived at the “Land of the End,” “Taking the Blame” became his ability.

As for the remaining people, boldly guessing: Doctor Zhao wanted to destroy certain things, so he became “Separation.”

Yun Yao always had extremely bad luck, so she became “Strong Fortune.”

Li Xiangling always wanted to see her beloved, so she became “Manifestation.”

Wang Ba was short in stature since childhood, thus obtained “Gigantification.”

Zhou Liu urgently wanted to communicate with people, displaying “Sound Transmission.”

Luo Shiyi experienced too much suffering, producing “Forgetting Worries.”

Similar examples were countless… Their “Echoes” were their “experiences.”

Looking at it this way, the many powerful “Echoers” walking in the “Land of the End” were, in the end, just unfulfilled wishes and walking obsessions.

Where were there any transcendent abilities?

The “Land of the End” seemed to display its contemptuous pity, allowing everyone to briefly touch the shadow of wishes that could not be realized in reality here.

What was even more laughable was that these people would also bring these so-called “abilities” back to “reality” for one day, as if “divinely bestowed.”

But they would gradually discover that no matter how they used their abilities, the so-called “history” would never change.

It would always be there waiting for you to return.

However, thinking this way, there were still many “Echoes” that couldn’t be explained, and these unexplainable “Echoes” seemed to carry extraordinary effects.

They didn’t seem to exist to fulfill someone’s wishes, but rather like they existed to fulfill the “Land of the End’s” wishes.

If these abilities were brought to the real world, they would have no effect whatsoever. They were exclusive to the “Land of the End.”

For example, his previous “Spiritual Hearing,” Zheng Yingjie’s “Spiritual Smell.”

Somewhere unknown, there might still be “Spiritual Vision,” “Spiritual Sense,” and “Spiritual Touch.”

And now another situation had appeared that was different from all previous abilities. It belonged here, yet transcended here. It was exclusive to the “Land of the End,” yet stood above all the rules here.

It was “Endless Life.”
