When Xu Yuan raised this question, tyrant HIM and Annoying Village HIM both could not help but freeze slightly, showing some surprise on their faces.
Just now, while the real HIM was talking about the identities of Notch, D, and J, besides deep shock, both tyrant HIM and Annoying Village HIM also felt a strong sense of helplessness rising inside.
Especially Annoying Village HIM. In the world he lived in, Notch and two other creator gods also existed.
Although he did not know what connection the three in his world had with the three described by the real HIM, Annoying Village HIM clearly understood the terrifying strength of the three creator gods in his own world.
Without exaggeration, in front of them all things in the world seemed as small as ants. They were absolute rulers above everything.
However, after hearing the real HIM's description, Annoying Village HIM felt that the strength of those three mentioned by the real HIM seemed even greater than the three in his own world.
The three creator gods in Annoying Village HIM's world, although extremely powerful, were too closely connected to that world.
To be exact, they were not like the three mentioned by the real HIM who came from other world dimensions and took part in creating a new world.
Instead, those three creator gods were originally born in Annoying Village HIM's world. They were native gods of that world.
Because of this, even though those three creator gods possessed frightening power, no matter how capable they were, they still could not fully escape the restrictions and limits of the world's inherent rules.
In some extreme situations, even if they tried their best, they would still feel powerless and unable to use all their strength freely.
In contrast, the three creator gods described by the real HIM were completely different.
As outsiders, they successfully joined hands to create the brand new world where the real HIM existed. Most importantly, their true forms did not belong to the world they created.
Because of this special background, those three creator gods could stand beyond normal rules and become the makers and controllers of rules.
They stood high above, looking down on how the whole world operated. Their status and authority far exceeded ordinary existence. Only they could truly be called creator gods in the real sense.
What Annoying Village HIM never expected was that such powerful beings would end up with physical death.
Just when Annoying Village HIM was wondering what exactly had happened, the real HIM finally spoke.
"That they ended up like this, I am not surprised."
There was no shock or surprise on the real HIM's face. His expression was calm. Clearly this information did not surprise him.
But the real HIM's answer hid quite a lot of information.
This sentence revealed two key points.
First, the physical deaths of D and J were not caused by the real HIM.
From his answer, although he was not surprised, he clearly did not already know about it.
Second, the real HIM might know the reason for D and J's physical deaths.
Not being surprised meant he had expected such an ending. The reason he expected it must be because he had some clues.
With Xu Yuan's intelligence, he quickly caught the key meaning in the real HIM's words. After lowering his eyes and thinking briefly, he looked at the real HIM and asked.
"You know the reason for their physical deaths, right?"
Hearing Xu Yuan's words, the real HIM shook his head. "Maybe I do."
"But those are only my guesses."
The real HIM did not dare speak too absolutely, since the information he gathered was somewhat one-sided.
After saying this, the real HIM paused, then continued.
"D's death was brought on by himself, while J's death was self-abandonment."
After saying that, the real HIM let out a long sigh and began explaining.
"I think you should already understand that the world we live in is not simple."
"Right now this world is actually okay. Many things can be explained clearly."
"But the world I was in back then was truly mysterious."
"Gods from another world dimension created this world, yet that data started to develop awareness and became living lives one by one…"
"Then players from other world dimensions somehow entered this world."
"The players left traces on this land. Their imagination turned into reality, and I was born from that."
At this point, the real HIM gave a bitter smile and shook his head.
"Even those three creator gods could not fully understand the world they created."
After saying this, the real HIM paused. After a moment of silence, his eyes became deeper.
"But as a concrete form of players' imagination, I could sense some things they could not."
"This world is very strange. Everything is connected."
"Players' imagination could turn into me, and their belief could also turn into my power."
"And on the other hand… if you use too much power that does not belong to you and break the balance of this world, you will face backlash."
"Even if you are a creator god, you cannot escape the punishment you should receive."
"This is the price D had to pay."
At this point, there was no gloating expression on the real HIM's face, only sorrow.
After a short silence, the real HIM spoke again.
"Of course, these costs did not suddenly fall in one day. They built up over time."
"In D's case, it probably showed as his physical body becoming weaker and weaker."
"I believe he noticed the abnormality long ago, so he had already made his choice."
"He gave up his human identity and chose to become the creator god of that world."
After finishing his speculation about D's physical death, the real HIM thought for a moment before slowly speaking again.
"As for J…"
"He did not interfere much with that world. His ending should not have been like this."
"But he gave up himself. He chose to stay beside D."
"If D's death was like slowly withering, then J's was instant falling."
"I believe their corpses should also be different."
At this point, the real HIM let out a long breath.
"If you can find out the condition of their physical bodies back then, it should confirm my guess."
