Entity 303 didn't plan to lie to 3rd HIM. From his words, it was clear 3rd HIM wasn't easy to fool. So he might as well speak the truth directly.
In this way, the chance of 3rd HIM following Entity 303 to Xu Yuan's location would be greater.
Entity 303's words were also beyond 3rd HIM's expectations.
At first, when Entity 303 said that he had a friend who looked exactly like him, 3rd HIM thought Entity 303 was trying to trick him.
But the words that came after from Entity 303 had a certain degree of persuasiveness.
3rd HIM had just been born, and Entity 303 immediately appeared beside him. This really didn't seem like a coincidence.
Moreover, Entity 303 didn't refute 3rd HIM's words about him looking like an old friend of his.
That meant that Entity 303 didn't come from the 3rd HIM world, and indeed belonged to this world.
These two points were enough to prove that there was a high chance Entity 303 wasn't lying.
After thinking for a moment, 3rd HIM asked Entity 303, "So you're saying you came specially to find me?"
Hearing 3rd HIM's words, Entity 303 nodded and said, "Mm, I came to take you to meet them."
Although what Entity 303 said seemed detailed and convincing, 3rd HIM still had some guard against him. After all, he had just come to this world and didn't understand it well. Even though he knew his own strength was great, it was still best to be a bit cautious about everything.
Seeing 3rd HIM silently staring at him, Entity 303 also noticed his concerns. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I believe you've also sensed that I'm not your match."
Hearing Entity 303's words, 3rd HIM smiled and said, "You're certainly not my match, but didn't you just say you had an old friend who looked exactly like me? And said I was the second one who looked exactly like your old friend."
"I'm really curious about where the first one who looked like your old friend is now."
3rd HIM didn't know Entity 303's exact ability, but he could sense that he didn't have a domain.
From that point, he could confirm that Entity 303 likely wasn't his opponent. So, what he feared wasn't Entity 303 himself, but the people behind him.
3rd HIM didn't know the strength of those who looked exactly like him that Entity 303 mentioned. That's why he was being so cautious.
Hearing 3rd HIM's words, Entity 303 couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
'So suspicious…'
He really didn't expect 3rd HIM to be so hard to fool. Since he was so suspicious, if Entity 303 insisted on persuading him, it might backfire instead.
The best method now was to imitate Xu Yuan's previous strategy of "retreating to advance."
Thinking of this, Entity 303 shrugged and said with a face of indifference, "Didn't I already say I came to take you? If you're still concerned, then forget it. I'll go on ahead."
With that, Entity 303 turned and left in the direction of where Xu Yuan was.
One had to say, this move of Entity 303's really worked.
3rd HIM originally thought Entity 303 would keep trying to persuade him, but didn't expect Entity 303 to give up so quickly.
If Entity 303 had kept trying to convince him, 3rd HIM's suspicion toward him would clearly have grown.
But Entity 303 going the opposite way was something 3rd HIM hadn't anticipated.
Seeing Entity 303 leave without looking back, 3rd HIM started getting a bit anxious.
Curiosity killed the cat, and naturally 3rd HIM was very curious about the other two beings that looked exactly like him.
He was summoned here, so of course he wanted to understand the reason behind it.
And Entity 303 was indeed the only clue he had to quickly understand the reason.
After thinking for a moment, 3rd HIM finally made a decision.
'Let's follow him and see...'
Though 3rd HIM had made his decision, he didn't immediately follow. He waited for Entity 303 to leave for a while, then quietly followed behind.
3rd HIM thought he was being very stealthy. Little did he know, the person he was tracking was like someone with cheat powers, his position had long been seen through clearly by Entity 303.
'This trick really works!'
Seeing 3rd HIM following, Entity 303 finally let out a breath of relief.
'I'll just take him there first, then go deal with those players he infected…'
There are priorities in everything. Though the situation with the players wasn't looking good either, for now the urgent matter was to handle the situation on Xu Yuan's side.
Thinking of this, Entity 303 flew straight toward Xu Yuan's location without looking back.

[At this Moment, Inside the Gray Space.]
Though Xu Yuan had been isolated from the outside world for so long, he was still clearly aware of everything happening outside.
Naturally, it wasn't because Xu Yuan had some great powers. All his information came from those players trapped in the ray space with him.
Those trapped players were all college students, with so much free time it was ridiculous.
In the first few days after being rescued by the dorm manager, they didn't log in. But afterward, they couldn't help themselves.
They arranged for one roommate to be in charge of pulling the plug and waking people up, then took turns logging in.
Since there wasn't much to do after logging in, they mostly just reported news from the outside to Xu Yuan.
Of course, they did this to win Xu Yuan's favor. Though they didn't know when Xu Yuan would get out, they believed that once he did, they might rise to fame and fortune with him.
At this moment, news about the Divine Domain Tournament had just started spreading, and a player had logged in.
After logging in, he immediately went to Xu Yuan's side and began reporting what had happened in the tournament.
"My King! The Divine Domain Tournament has started again! Guess what! After the tournament entrance closed, another HIM appeared at the entrance spot!!"
"That HIM looks exactly like you guys… He can also infect players. The players he infects, their eyes become just like yours!"
"I heard those infected players' accounts were directly taken over, they can't log into the game anymore!"
"Then Entity 303 appeared again… and killed a bunch of players. Did he betray us?… And then Entity 303 seemed to run off, and that HIM seemed to be chasing him…"
As soon as the player logged in, he spilled out everything he knew.
Hearing this, Xu Yuan couldn't help but feel a bit surprised. Xu Yuan already knew that the Divine Domain Tournament would happen again. And he naturally knew that this was his chance to leave here.
What he didn't expect was that Entity 303 would meet the third HIM.
'He must have figured something out…'
In Xu Yuan's eyes, Entity 303 was still very smart. Since Entity 303 got involved, he must have realized something.
But what surprised Xu Yuan was that the third HIM turned out to be Fan Village HIM.
Based on the player's description, the third HIM's infection ability pretty much confirmed it was 3rd HIM.
This was a bit different from what Xu Yuan had imagined. Xu Yuan had always thought this world was the 3rd HIM world. That the true HIM of this world might be 3rd HIM.
But now it seemed that might not be the case. This world was likely a brand new fused world.
After all, this world had not only beings from the 3rd HIM world, but also Ender Queen, Null, Entity 303, and the Dread Lord.
It was more like a fusion of all Minecraft worlds.
But right now, none of that mattered. What mattered was that he finally saw hope of leaving this place.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan looked at Tyrant HIM. At that moment, the excitement in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
During the days in the gray space, Xu Yuan had shared his guesses about the gray space and the reason they were trapped with Tyrant HIM.
Not that he told Tyrant HIM willingly. Xu Yuan just couldn't stand Tyrant HIM pestering him every day with endless questions.
Since then, Tyrant HIM had been waiting for this day. The day the third HIM appeared would be their chance to leave here.
"He's finally appeared… At last, we can leave this damn place!!"
Though Xu Yuan had predicted that the appearance of the third HIM would be related to the Divine Domain Tournament, he hadn't expected the third HIM to appear at the new entrance of the tournament.
Xu Yuan originally thought that after the second Divine Domain Tournament began, the third HIM would appear directly in the gray space.
Though reality differed slightly from Xu Yuan's expectations, fortunately, Entity 303 got involved and brought things back on track.
Otherwise, the third HIM might not have discovered the gray space until who-knows-when.
One must say, Entity 303's involvement really felt like a twist of fate. If Xu Yuan hadn't arranged for Entity 303 to take over his people while he was gone, if it had been anyone else, they might have ended up trapped in here just like Xu Yuan.
After all, no one else had Entity 303's cheat-like ability to sense alternate dimensions.
If they had rushed to find Xu Yuan, they might've also been trapped here.
If Entity 303 hadn't sensed the alternate dimension, he wouldn't have discovered the secret of the gray space, wouldn't have appeared so coincidentally at the entrance of the second Divine Domain Tournament, and wouldn't have encountered 3rd HIM.
It was precisely because it was Entity 303 who appeared at the tournament entrance, that everything aligned, since 3rd HIM's world was one where Entity 303 also existed.
