Chapter 283 It’s indeed complicated
As night falls, the palace is gently shrouded in a layer of faint moonlight, appearing exceptionally peaceful and mysterious.
The maid quietly came to Dianwu's bedroom in the night, carrying an exquisite food box in her hand and a happy smile on her face. She whispered the good news to Dianwu:
"Your Highness, your efforts have not been in vain. You have successfully won the emperor's favor. Now you can rest assured."
However, in the face of the palace maid's congratulations, Dianwu's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations. She did not become complacent because of the emperor's recognition, but became even more unconvinced and full of fighting spirit. She put down the pen in her hand, looked up at the palace maid, with a firm light flashing in her eyes, and chattered about her dissatisfaction and determination.
"I can't stop here!" Dianwu's voice was filled with urgency and determination. "I know I still have a lot of shortcomings. I need to work harder, learn more, and improve myself. I want to be a real princess, not only to shine in the eyes of the emperor, but also to leave a deep impression in everyone's heart."
Upon hearing this, the palace maid couldn't help but be moved by Dianwu's persistence and tenacity.
She nodded slightly, showing her understanding and support:
“Your Highness, your determination and courage are truly admirable. Rest assured, we will always be by your side and support you in your pursuit of higher goals.”
That night, Dianwu's bedroom was brightly lit. She continued to bury herself in books, constantly absorbing the nutrients of knowledge.
She knows that the road ahead is still long, but she is ready to use her efforts and talents to write her own glory.
At the fourth audience, Dian Wu stood in the center of the palace with unprecedented courage and determination.
She took a deep breath, looked at everyone present with a determined gaze, and then asked loudly:
"Your Majesty, are you going to make me your heir?" This question was like a thunderbolt, causing the entire palace to fall into silence. However, after a moment, there was still no response, and only Dian Wu's firm voice echoed in the empty hall.
In the astonished eyes of the crowd, Dianwu seemed to have received some kind of invisible permission, and she slowly walked towards the throne that symbolized supreme power and sat on it as a matter of course. At this moment, she felt unprecedented strength and confidence, as if the whole world was at her feet.
However, when night fell, the maid came to her again and repeated the familiar words:
"Your Highness the Princess has been so successful. Can you just sit back and relax and not work any harder?" Dian Wu finally couldn't help but interrupt her: "This is the fourth time you have asked me this. Why do you ask the same question every time?" The maid seemed not to hear her and continued to repeat the sentence mechanically.
At this moment, Dianwu felt a strong sense of doubt and uneasiness in his heart.
She began to reflect on why she was so obsessed with outdoing the other princesses and why she was so desperate to get all the treasures.
In the palace maid's endless repetition, she seemed to see a certain obsession and confusion deep in her heart.
Finally, Dianwu made a decision. She took a deep breath and said firmly:
"I don't want to work hard anymore. I've had enough." As soon as the words fell, the surrounding scene began to become blurry and distorted, as if the whole world was collapsing. But then, Dianwu found herself in a beautiful pastoral land, with the fresh scent of flowers and soil in the air.
At the same time, a clear and powerful voice sounded in her ears:
"Challenger Dianwu passed the first level of the illusion." At this moment, Dianwu finally understood that all this was a test and tempering for her.
She successfully overcame her obsession and confusion, desire and greed, and found inner peace and satisfaction.
In this new land, she will begin to challenge the second level of illusion.
She looked around and murmured, "Could it be that... I'm the first one?"
However, before she took a step, in the tranquility of the pastoral land, Shen Xing's voice was like a spring breeze, bringing an unexpected surprise to the electric dance.
He applauded and praised, his eyes sparkling with recognition and appreciation for the achievements in electric dancing.
"Dianwu, you are so awesome. You are the second challenger to pass the illusion. And I, as the first person to pass it, know how difficult it is." Shen Xing's words were full of sincerity and encouragement.
The two smiled at each other, and then began to share their experiences in the illusion.
Dianwu tells how he uncovered the mystery of the emperor's throne step by step, and finally found a way to liberation through self-reflection;
Shen Xing shared how he found a way out of the intricate maze and overcame seemingly impossible difficulties with wisdom and courage.
As the communication deepened, both of them couldn't help laughing at the various adventures in the fantasy world. At the same time, they felt that these experiences were absurd and boring, as if they were a series of carefully designed games that made people experience the ups and downs of life in tension and excitement.
Finally, they found a stone bench and sat down side by side, enjoying this rare quiet moment.
The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves and falls on them, making them warm and comfortable.
They wait quietly, looking forward to the arrival of the next person who passes the level, who may bring a more exciting story, or who may be able to explore more mysteries about illusions and life together.
After sitting for a while, the next challenger did not show up.
Dianwu then asked, "Shen Xing, can you tell me about your illusion in detail?"
Hearing this, Shen Xing sighed softly, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. "Dianwu, my illusion is indeed complicated." He spoke slowly, as if he was recalling a distant past.
"My fantasy was a vast desert, with scorching sun and blowing sand. I was alone there, surrounded by nothing but the vast sea of sand. At first, I thought it was just a test of endurance and will, but as time went by, I gradually realized that this desert was not that simple."
Shen Xing paused for a moment, as if he was organizing his thoughts, and continued:
"Walking in the desert, I encountered all kinds of illusions and temptations. Sometimes, it was the sweet spring water that flashed in front of me, luring me into the abyss of despair; sometimes, it was the familiar figure calling in the distance, which made me fall into endless longing and confusion. But every time, I overcame these tests one by one with my firm belief and self-awareness."
"However, the real challenge does not come from the outside world, but from the struggle and conflict within. In the desert, I kept asking myself, why am I here, where am I going? What am I pursuing? What is my value? These questions are like sharp blades, cutting my heart and making me suffer."
Having said this, Shen Xing's eyes became deep and solemn.
"But it was these pains and struggles that gradually allowed me to find my own answers. I realized that no matter how the outside world changes, as long as I stick to my inner beliefs and clarify my direction, nothing can stop me from moving forward."
Dianwu listened to Shen Xing's story quietly, her heart filled with admiration and emotion.
