Luo Yongtian and Edgar exchanged a glance, seeing the solemnity in each other's eyes.
"Tell us, tell us in detail," Luo Yongtian's voice deepened, and the atmosphere in the room grew serious.
That Lin Feng actually knew about the Fourth Wall was an unexpected surprise for both of them.
For years, they had found nothing, and today they heard it from Lin Feng's mouth. Both were extremely cautious.
Lin Feng stroked his chin.
The Fourth Wall, how to explain this?
After considering for a moment, Lin Feng felt that using an analogy might be more intuitive.
For the two of them, Lin Feng felt there was no need to hide the information about the Fourth Wall.
Lin Feng was not afraid that they would have thoughts of escaping beyond the Fourth Wall.
Not everyone was like Ling, acting like a madman.
Another reason was that even if Luo Yongtian and the other had ideas about what lay beyond the Fourth Wall, he had the ability to stop them.
"Let me give you an analogy! You all know what a television is, right?"
"Have you watched TV shows or movies?"
Luo Yongtian leaned back on the sofa.
"What kind of question is that? Who hasn't seen such a thing?"
"Little friend Shanhai, we are discussing the Fourth Wall right now!" Luo Yongtian rolled his eyes.
But then, as if he had thought of something, his eyes stared intently at Lin Feng.
"Could it be that the Fourth Wall has something to do with televisions?"
Lin Feng said, "It's not that there's a connection, it's just easier to understand this way."
"Let me put it this way: the Fourth Wall is like the screen of a television, and we are like the movie currently playing on the screen!"
"Do you two understand it this way!"
Lin Feng directly used a simple and crude analogy!
But this was also one of the most fitting explanations for the Fourth Wall.
The words were simple and clear, yet they stunned both of them.
Disbelief filled Luo Yongtian's eyes.
"You mean, we are a movie being shown, and the Fourth Wall that Ling mentioned is the screen that seals us?!"
Lin Feng said in a deep voice, "That's right..."
"This is not a simple concept of parallel universes or other universes."
"We are currently living inside a television, and perhaps there are people outside the screen watching everything that is happening here."
"By breaking the Fourth Wall, you can communicate with the viewers outside the screen and thus know the past and future trajectory of the entire universe."
"And by going beyond the Fourth Wall, you might gain the ability to easily change all universes and do whatever you please..."
His calm words caused Luo Yongtian's pupils to tremble uncontrollably.
"This..."
This was simply shattering Old Man Luo's worldview.
"Then, the things you are saying now, won't those viewers know?" Luo Yongtian asked.
Lin Feng shrugged.
"That, I don't know."
Actually, he did know. It was likely that no one could see.
Because neither Black Robe nor Lin Feng himself had appeared in any movies or television shows before their transmigration.
"Who are those viewers..." Edgar asked.
Edgar's ability to accept things was relatively fast, and he quickly recovered from the shock.
There were only a few things that could shock the two of them, and Lin Feng had said something that was the most shocking thing they had experienced since birth.
So, we've been acting in a movie for so many years?
No, no, this way of putting it isn't entirely accurate.
Now, Edgar just wanted to know who those viewers were...
"Those viewers are ordinary people..." Lin Feng replied.
"Don't joke, Shanhai..." Edgar said with a wry smile.
Ordinary people? They could watch us like a movie or a TV show?
Lin Feng explained, "They are indeed ordinary people, but they possess the ability to change the fate of any one of us with a flick of their wrist."
"You have put in a lot of effort to reach where you are today, haven't you?"
"Did you go through immense hardship to gain your current strength?"
Luo Yongtian said, "There's no doubt about that. Why are you bringing this up?"
Old Man Luo was not in a good state. Unlike Edgar, he had some difficulty accepting what Lin Feng was saying about the Fourth Wall.
Lin Feng continued, "There's too much for me to explain clearly, but the strength you have cultivated to this day might just be that some viewers outside the Fourth Wall could turn an ordinary person into someone you could never reach by writing a few words..."
Luo Yongtian rubbed his stiff face.
He no longer felt shocked.
"So, the viewers outside the Fourth Wall, although ordinary people, can modify our world with a pen? Is that what you mean?"
"Something like that..." Lin Feng replied.
Luo Yongtian leaned back and collapsed onto the sofa.
This was too ridiculous, truly too ridiculous.
The Fourth Wall was actually such an existence?!
No wonder Ling had been constantly searching for a way to go beyond the Fourth Wall.
He was probably not just trying to stand above all universes with a paintbrush...
This damn...
"Going beyond the Fourth Wall is not simply a matter of strength."
"It requires some other things."
"Logically speaking, anyone here has the chance to break the Fourth Wall."
"It's just that the vast majority of people will never know in their lifetime."
"As for what this opportunity is, to be honest, I don't really know..." Lin Feng said with a wry smile and shook his head.
