"No matter if it's the space he created, or the other two HIMs he somehow brought out from who knows where…"

"All these events are proving to us that the real HIM's power is extremely strong."

After saying that, Entity 303 looked at everyone and asked.

"None of you disagree with that, right?"

Seeing that no one objected, Entity 303 continued speaking.

"Then have you ever thought about this question?"

"The real HIM possesses such immense power, why doesn't he just attack the Void directly??"

Hearing Entity 303's question, everyone opened their mouths to say something, but Entity 303 didn't give them the chance to reply.

"Don't tell me the real HIM can't enter the Void. And don't say his power isn't enough."

"He can pull out two other HIMs from who knows where and bring them into the main world, how could he not enter the Void??"

"He can create a space that traps our King, he can create the Trial Grounds, how could he not be able to defeat the current Void??"

"The current Void doesn't even have a physical body anymore. You're saying the real HIM can't win against that????"

Hearing Entity 303's words, everyone looked at each other. They really couldn't find any reason to refute him.

The power the real HIM had shown in all these plans had already far exceeded the scope of this world.

So how could someone with such strength possibly lose to the Void?

He clearly already had enough power to destroy it, yet instead of taking direct action, he kept scheming and preparing, wasn't that just unnecessary?

Seeing that no one said anything, Entity 303 spoke again.

"Back then, the real HIM led all the beings of the three realms in rebellion against Notch and his two friends."

"He must have known exactly who Notch was, and how important he was, right?"

"And that brings me to my second question."

"As everyone knows, the real HIM created the Trial Grounds. Whoever wins there can gain the real HIM's power."

After saying that, Entity 303 swept his gaze across the group, then asked sharply.

"Then tell me, why would he let Notch enter the Trial Grounds?"

"Was it because he was confident that Notch wouldn't win, so he let him in?"

"If he was already sure Notch couldn't win, then why let him enter at all?"

"Once Notch entered the Trial Grounds, he'd definitely learn some information, right?"

"Wouldn't that be letting the wolf into the house?"

Seeing that everyone was still silent, Entity 303 shrugged and went on.

"Oh, there's another possibility, maybe the real HIM was just too arrogant."

"He thought he could easily defeat Notch, so he deliberately let him enter the Trial Grounds. It was his way of provoking Notch."

After saying that, Entity 303 turned to look at the Ender Queen and asked.

"Is the real HIM that kind of person?"

Hearing his words, the Ender Queen rolled her eyes and snapped irritably.

"Why are you throwing the question at me again… I'm not that close to him, okay…"

She muttered under her breath for a bit, then couldn't help but look back at Entity 303 and complain.

"Alright, alright, it's just that everyone disagreed with you earlier, right? You don't need to go this far."

"These counter-questions of yours have already shut us up."

"Do us a favor, just stop asking already! Stop keeping us in suspense!"

"If you've got something to say, just spit it out!!!!"

Entity 303's two questions indeed revealed many key details.

From the way things had developed in the current world, it was clear that the Void's power was nowhere near the level of the real HIM's.

Ever since the Void's existence was discovered, the only thing it could do was transform its own power into consciousnesses and implant those consciousnesses into the creatures of this game world to control them and build up strength.

That was quite similar to how Xu Yuan once tamed monsters and made them awaken consciousness through kill points.

All of this power relied on the game world itself to function.

In other words, the power the Void could command had never exceeded the boundaries of this game world.

But the real HIM was different.

Let's set the Trial Grounds aside for now, since Notch himself could also create an independent space like the Divine Domain Competition..

So, when the real HIM created the Trial Grounds, he might not necessarily have used power that exceeded this world's limits.

But Xu Yuan's existence, and the power used to summon the other two HIMs, definitely did surpass the limits of this world.

That alone showed the real HIM's strength was absolutely above the Void's.

Everything the real HIM had been doing so far was clearly part of setting up for the final war.

And that was the strange part. He clearly had the strength to defeat the Void, yet instead of attacking directly, he spent so much effort preparing.

But in the end, he'd still have to fight the Void anyway.

So why go through all those roundabout, unnecessary steps?

Besides that, there was also the question of the Trial Grounds.

Since the real HIM had been enemies with those three founders, and had gone through so much just to defeat them, why would he allow Notch to enter the Trial Grounds?

It was exactly because of these two doubts that Entity 303 believed the real HIM's power might actually come from Notch.

At this point, seeing that no one was questioning him anymore, Entity 303 stopped dragging it out.

He cleared his throat and said seriously.

"My earlier guess was that part of the real HIM's power came from Notch."

"But that doesn't mean Notch willingly gave his power to the real HIM."

After saying that, Entity 303 looked at everyone and explained.

"What I mean is, the real HIM did indeed obtain part of Notch's power."

"But that part of power wasn't something Notch consciously gave him."

Hearing that, everyone showed thoughtful looks, but they still didn't fully understand.

"What do you mean 'not consciously gave'? Someone forced him to give it??…"

"Not consciously… you mean like Cai Niao, through the subconscious or something?..."

"Subconscious? You're saying his subconscious sided with the real HIM?"

Seeing their puzzled faces, Entity 303 sighed lightly and continued.

"Let me give you a rough reconstruction of what probably happened."

He took a deep breath and began describing that distant history.

"Back then, the real HIM led all living beings of the three realms to attack the three founders."

"Among the founders, besides Notch, one or both of the others suggested wiping everything out by force."

"However, Notch didn't agree to that plan. He might have wanted to find a gentler, more balanced way to resolve the problems of the old world."

"But before Notch could make his final decision, something unexpected happened."

Entity 303 frowned, his tone turning grave.

"As for what exactly that accident was, we don't know, and we can't infer it."

After a moment of silence, he continued.

"But judging by the events that followed, we can guess that in the final moment before Notch cut off his connection to the old world, he must have done something very important."

After saying that, Entity 303 paused and scanned everyone, his eyes reflecting a complicated light.

After organizing his thoughts for a moment, he continued.

"Or maybe… it wasn't something he consciously did. Maybe it was something his inner will did for him."

Hearing that, everyone looked even more confused, but before they could ask, Entity 303 went on.

"The instant he completely severed his link to the old world…"

"His will split into two parts."

"One part stood by his friends, to help them."

"The other part, to help the living beings of that old world, chose to side with the real HIM."

"Because Notch knew, no matter which side he favored, the other side would suffer a terrible loss."

"He wanted to find a balance point. So the only way was to let both sides restrain each other for a while."

After that, Entity 303 took a deep breath, paused, and then continued.

"If my deduction is right, then everything the real HIM has done makes sense."

"The source of his power that exceeds the limits of this world is Notch, so naturally, he can't attack the Void directly."

"The real HIM probably realized where his sudden new power came from, that's why he let Notch enter the Trial Grounds."

"And as for the Void, that makes sense too. They were sealed there, and Notch also imposed many restrictions on them, such as being unable to cross space to leave the Void."

"None of these were necessarily things Notch consciously decided, but his will at that time was for both sides to keep each other in check for the moment."

"All those restrictions between them were likely the manifestation of Notch's will."

After that, Entity 303 looked at everyone again and continued explaining.

"Earlier, I researched the timing of when the other two HIMs appeared."

"The first HIM appeared after the Divine Domain Competition. started. If that was just a coincidence, then the second HIM appearing right after another competition began can't be one."

"Before the first Divine Domain Competition., Notch had never appeared and had no connection to this game world."

"But that competition was personally designed by Notch, that was the first time, since creating the game world, that he directly interacted with it."

"So we can conclude that every time the real HIM summoned another HIM, it happened right after he sensed that Notch had reconnected with this game world."

Entity 303 paused for a moment, then exhaled deeply and said.

"So, there's one clear conclusion."

"The real HIM and the Void both know that their feud isn't over."

"And Notch, he's the key to ending it all."

After hearing Entity 303's conclusion, no one looked surprised.

Instead, the tense atmosphere they'd all been holding loosened the moment he finished speaking.

They looked at one another, and relief appeared in their eyes.

"Didn't expect our earlier guess about Notch, when we barely had any clues, to actually match this conclusion…"

"Yeah, that's a good thing. It means all our previous efforts weren't wasted, our overall direction was right."

"Looks like knowing this result won't affect any of our current plans or progress."

"..."

Even before they had any solid leads, they had already suspected Notch's importance. Now, although Entity 303 had worked out the overall sequence of events, the outcome still lined up with what they had previously theorized.

For everyone, that was great news, it meant all the work they'd done before hadn't been for nothing.

Not only that, but with the information they now had, they could refine their earlier deductions, making the entire story line clearer and more complete.
