1402 The Rules.
"Alright, let's proceed by understanding the workings of the Illusion, okay?"
The Progenitor spoke, clearly, she wasn't willing to waste any more time.
Nux and his wives glanced at each other, then, Nux nodded at them, assuring them with a confident smile. The women smiled back, they still had their doubts, however, in the end, they decided to trust their husband.
Nux then turned towards Lilith and,
"Alright."
He nodded.
The Progenitor nodded back, then, a solemn look appeared on her face and,
"The Illusion you are going to enter will be different from what your wives have experienced in the Trial Towers. The Illusion in the Trial Towers were created by me and yes, I didn't put in too much effort in that because I didn't deem it to be necessary.
Your case, however, is different."
Lilith glanced at Nux and smiled playfully,
"I cannot underestimate a monstrous existence like you, now can I?"
"Please do. I won't feel bad." Nux smiled wryly but of course, Lilith completely ignored the man's request.

For most people, this trick works since the world that was created from their perception could easily be perceived as a real and genuine world in their eyes.
Something, that for some reason, doesn't work on your wives."
Lilith snorted.
She still didn't like the bullshit reason she was given for why that is the case.
'Real Nux is better than Nux in my mind.'
How the hell does that even make sense, the Succubi Progenitor had no clue.
"Anyways, as I was saying, the world trial takers see in the Trial Towers is the world they perceive, your case, however, will be different.
The Illusionary World you are going to enter won't just be any random illusion, you can even call it an alternate world if you want since I am not the only one who will create that world, I will tap into the Power of Yrniel and seek help from the Will of Yrniel.
Everything and everyone you see and meet inside the world would be a combination of what you perceive and Yrniel's information about that creation."
Nux narrowed his eyes when he heard those words and as if knowing what he was thinking, Lilith smiled, "That is correct, your 'wives' inside the illusion, although they would be 'mere' illusion, they will very much be 'real', after all, since they are born in Yrniel, Yrniel naturally knows everything about them. This time, there will be no mistakes. The only way you can avoid your wives would be to constantly remind yourself that they are mere illusions and not your real wives, or else, You will end up cheating on your 'real' wives. So be careful, Nux Leander. This would be a test of your 'love' for your wives, a test your wives passed with flying colours."
A big grin appeared on Lilith's face as she said those words. Nux and his wives narrowed their eyes when they heard those words. Faustina, Vyriana and Aeliana, who was working together with Lilith at her request to prepare the illusion, on the other hand, displayed no changes in their expression.
They already knew this wasn't going to be simple.
"Anyways, now that you know and understand the basics, let me lay out some basic rules of the Illusion."
Seeing that Nux and his wives weren't going to say anything, Lilith continued,
"Let me start with the basics, the 'root' of all the rules,
Do not try to find loopholes.
Even if you can fool me, fooling Yrniel is not possible.
Not moving to the rules,
First, do not die.
As agreed before, you are supposed to spend 10,000 years inside the Illusion, if you die before 10,000 years have passed, Everything will restart again and you would need to spend 10,000 years inside again.
So killing yourself to leave the Illusion is not possible."
Lilith spoke with a smile on her face.
"That means if he dies, he would need to spend more than 10,000 years inside the Illusion." Amaya narrowed her eyes.
"Well, a genius like him wouldn't be killed that easily if he truly gave his all, now would he? After all, even now, killing him isn't exactly an easy feat and he is merely 1000 years old."
"That is not what we agreed to," Aisha spoke.
"What do you mean? I simply want him to spend 10,000 years inside the Illusion to develop a more 'mature' perspective on things. Or are you saying that your husband is so incompetent that even surviving for 10,000 years would be a difficult task for him?"
"..." Aisha and the rest of the women turned silent.
Lilith's smile widened as she continued,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Moving on,
The Second Rule is pretty much related to the first one, make sure you cultivate properly, even if do not die through unnatural means, if your lifespan ends before reaching 10,000 years, the Illusion will start once again.
So dying in your 100s because you didn't cultivate in hopes for getting out of the illusion wouldn't work either."
"..."
Nux continued to listen attentively, completely ignoring the shit-eating smile on Lilith's face.
"Third, do not sleep.
Well, you can sleep, but since Cultivators do not need sleep most of the time, only the time you spend when you are awake will be counted in the Illusion. So if you spend 10,000 years sleeping inside the Illusion, you would still need to spend the next 10,000 years inside the Illusion."
"That-" Amaya immediately wanted to counter that, however,
"I want him to experience the world, shutting off his brain and sleeping won't do that and it would defeat the purpose of the illusion."
Amaya wasn't satisfied, however, before she could speak anything, Nux grabbed her hand and shook his head, signalling the woman to step down.
The Devourer's body trembled as she stepped back, Nux glanced at Lilith, waiting for her to continue.
Lilith's smile widened,
"Fourth,"
She wasn't done.
The woman really had prepared well.
