Chapter 1199: Are you scared, Truth?
Ultimately, 'Truth' did not immediately express his stance.
Whether or not to enter the Universes of the Zero Magic World and the Falmart World to clash with that 'God of the Void'.
Instead, he first proposed to Im to trade all his experience and understanding of 'Haki' and 'Swordsmanship' for information regarding 'what a higher dimension is, and how to reach it'.
This was equivalent to an exchange of knowledge between the two parties.
After Im confirmed that this transaction was merely sharing and would not cause him to lose anything, he nodded in agreement.
As for 'Truth'.
Haki and Swordsmanship were not very useful; they were mainly for collection, to enrich his knowledge base.
Perhaps they could be used for transactions with others in the future.
Moreover, this was the understanding and experience of Im, the Ruler of the World Government.
"First, to understand what a higher dimension is, you need to understand what dimension we are currently in..."
Im interrupted somewhat impolitely, "Three dimensions. Let's skip this part directly."
"Hmm, alright. I hope you can understand the following content."
'Truth' was slightly surprised but did not question it.
"A higher dimension. In this dimension, time is clearly visible."
"Even the weakest god can see the past and future of themselves or other living beings on a single timeline, but they cannot see gods at the same level as themselves or at a higher level."
Im frowned upon hearing this. "So you can see Im's future?"
"No, which is why I've always suspected you were in disguise, laughing at me deep down in your heart."
"Because whether it's you yourself, or those who have direct contact with you, or even those from the Sea Star World and Titan World, I cannot see their timelines."
"Oh, and just a few days ago, the same situation occurred in the Imperial Arms World. Can you resolve my doubt on this?"
The 'White Little Person' standing in the air shook its head, which only had a mouth.
"You can consider these worlds as planets controlled by Im."
Of course, Im would not expose the existence of the 'Star Map'.
However, the other party's words also reassured him greatly.
Indeed, a Golden Finger is amazing!
'Truth' asked again, "So you admit that you are also a True God, and a True God at a higher level than me? Then why do you need to ask me these things?"
Im's attitude was cold. "You don't need to dwell on these things. Since it's an equal exchange, and Im has already paid the price, please continue."
"Alright, alright."
'Truth' shook his head, spread his hands, looking quite helpless.
"In short, a dimension where time is materialized is a higher dimension, and it is also the main place where True Gods exist, so it is called 'God's Domain'."
"So you are currently..."
'Truth' nodded. "That's right, my main body is actually also in 'God's Domain', and what you see before you is just a phantom image I projected. In essence, it is no different from that 'God of the Void''s shadow."
Im asked again, "You said before that even the weakest True God can see the past and future of a single timeline. What about stronger True Gods?"
"Naturally, they see more timelines, meaning they see more development outcomes. For example, a version of you who is not the Ruler of the World Government."
'Truth''s tone paused for a moment, and he raised a finger to emphasize:
"However, there is one point that needs to be distinguished."
"It's not that possessing this time ability makes one a True God, but rather that reaching the realm of a True God definitely grants this time ability."
Im asked, "What about you?"
"Oh, that's not within the scope of the transaction. I refuse to answer," 'Truth' said with a smile.
"Okay, then how does one reach this true god realm?" Im asked again.
"That requires first understanding the rough division of realms. Do you know what realm you are currently in?"
"Are you referring to the Fifth Sense, Sixth Sense, and so on?"
Im recalled what King Yama had once said.
"Indeed, you know about these."
'Truth' felt increasingly like Im was teasing him.
"To reach a higher dimension, besides special circumstances like me, who was born from concepts and naturally grew into a manifestation of universe rules."
"The simplest and clearest path is to break through the Speed of Light Barrier."
"Of course, this is inferred based on the knowledge I currently control. Perhaps there are other ways, but I don't know them."
If it were before, 'Truth' would have felt that he understood all knowledge in the universe.
Omniscient and omnipotent.
But now he knew that he only understood the knowledge within his own universe.
Of course, now he understood the knowledge of three universes.
However, there was still much knowledge in the Myriad Worlds that he did not know.
Therefore, 'Truth''s mindset had become more humble and low-key.
"So you need to first reach the Speed of Light yourself, and only then do you need to consider how to break through."
"But to reach the Speed of Light, you must possess the Seventh Sense, which is above the Sixth Sense."
"Because only the Seventh Sense allows you to truly feel the existence of light, so it is also called 'Light Sense'."
"But again, reaching the Seventh Sense does not automatically mean you will possess the Speed of Light. It merely provides you with the basic condition to possess perception and control over light."
"Just like humans all possess five senses, but how many can control their five senses? For example, making their sense of sight disappear while their eyes are open, or being able to see the outside world without eyes?"
"As for how to possess the Speed of Light, that is another question, but the current me cannot give you the answer or method."
Im sat on the gold and red interwoven Empty Throne, listening very seriously, while thinking rapidly.
That is to say.
Borsalino, this light human, possesses the Seventh Sense when performing element transformation.
This allows him to perceive and manipulate light.
But he cannot control the Seventh Sense.
Therefore, he can only rely on Observation Haki, which is still within the scope of the Sixth Sense.
In other words, the size of his perception range with Observation Haki determines the upper limit of his movement range each time.
Once he exceeds this range, he simply doesn't know where he will go.
Moreover, his own speed has not reached the true Speed of Light.
Otherwise, Borsalino would only need to transform into a light sword to instantly destroy everything within range.
Even Im himself could only use the Space-Space Fruit ability to avoid its sharpness.
But clearly, Borsalino doesn't have this strength yet.
Besides this, 'Truth''s words also reminded Im of the Saints.
Now he was certain that among the countless universes included in the 'Star Map', there was definitely one that belonged to the Saints.
Someday in the future, the 'Star Gate' might open right at the entrance of the Holy Land, or perhaps even in Athena's bedroom.
"So a True God is the Eighth Sense, which is above the Seventh Sense?" Im asked.
"The Eighth Sense is indeed the realm that low-level True Gods can control, and most of them are soul-type True Gods."
"Because souls that can move freely in the Netherworld all possess the Eighth Sense, just like humans possess the Fifth Sense."
"And this 'God of the Void' we just saw might be a high-level True God at the Ninth Sense."
'Truth' stated the conclusion in a calm tone.
"That Brimir was right. The current World Government indeed cannot resist, even if the other party hasn't reached the Ninth Sense."
But Im heard a hint of teasing in these words.
He immediately asked back:
"So have you decided whether or not to enter the Falmart World?"
"The Zero Magic World is also possible. Im can open a Star Gate for you anytime!"
'Truth' immediately fell silent.
He didn't like conflict, let alone with a True God.
"Not interested in magic anymore?" Im asked, pretending to be confused.
"Or rather, are you scared?"
The World Government wanted to obtain more intelligence about the 'God of the Void'.
That would require letting this 'Truth' go and clash with him.
Although they couldn't afford to provoke him now, that might not be the case in the future...

* The Fifth Sense, Seventh Sense, and Eighth Sense mentioned in the text are not the only power realms in this book.
* They merely represent reference realms related to the 'Heart', meaning they are linked to perception, will, and spirit.
* The book does not have a single level system; the so-called realms are just rough levels, and strength within the same level can vary greatly.
* How strong someone is needs to be judged by the readers themselves based on the characters' situations and the text description; there are no levels like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
