Chapter 2978

"says"

The thunder in Wan Xiaotian's mind split through layers of chaos. He was inexplicably astonished at first, and then extremely angry, "You are the high-dimensional existence that created the world and all things? Are you kidding me? I don't believe it! Me! Do not believe!"

"very good."

Lao Li said, "On the road of pursuing the truth, questioning everything is the highest virtue. You really shouldn't believe every word I say."

"this……"

Wan Xiaotian's mind was in a mess, he clenched his grip tighter and tighter, he was stunned for a long time, and said over and over again, "I don't believe it, I don't understand, you, how do you prove it? No, this kind of thing can't be proved anyway. , can you tell me how it feels to travel through infinite worlds in the form of three thousand people, can you really transcend time and space and experience endless lives?"

"I can't describe the specific feelings in detail, because the me in front of you is still not the whole me, it's just one thousandth, at most it's a relatively large fragment of the soul."

Lao Li said, "My thousands of clones are all connected together in some mysterious way. You can simply imagine it as 'quantum entanglement'. The original Lao Li couldn't perceive the existence and experience of the rest of the clones. Until recently, I My training is coming to an end, and these avatars have returned to the 'origin universe' one by one, so I can vaguely feel some information.

"Believe it or not, I don't want to convince you, I just have a relationship with you, just chat casually.

"If you want to talk about feelings, at the beginning, just like what I told you just now, I did regard this practice as a game to relax my spirit and relieve the fatigue of the war, and I did not regard these virtual worlds as real existence, including the virtual world. Mountains, rivers, sun, moon, stars, and the spirits of all things, in my eyes, are nothing but strings of unpredictable data.

"But when I split myself up and put myself in it, it's very different.

"My mind and soul have been split into thousands of copies, and are greatly restricted by the crystal brain and database. The computing power of each incarnation outside the body is extremely limited. If I become birds, beasts, snakes, rats, ants, or even trilobites and archaea, my computing power will be suppressed to almost zero, and I will not be able to think at all.

"Moreover, with the split of my spirit and soul, my emotions and personality were also split. Some clones carried my 'good' side, some clones carried my 'evil' side, and some clones carried my 'wise and mighty', There are also some avatars of my "romantic and suave" and "hot-blooded and heroic" sides, such as the one in front of you, which carries my "great wisdom and profound philosophical thinking" side. Condensing my own personality, it's almost like I have thousands of personalities, but I don't know which one is the real self.

"I am lost.

"I'm lost in the ancient Buddha with green lanterns, singing with swords; I'm lost in Qionglouyuyu, resplendent and resplendent; I'm lost in the gold and iron horses, under the lonely smoke in the desert; I'm lost in the beginning of chaos, the beginning of the majesty. In the vast mountains and forests, in the primordial ocean, one can no longer tell the difference between real and fake, games and reality, Master Vulture, General Blood Eagle, Crooked Neck, Trilobite, Methanobacteria, Lao Li and Vulture Li Yao I just follow a thousand different roads and a thousand different ways with a little chaotic Dao heart, to live, to feel, to meditate, to practice.

"There are three thousand roads, different paths lead to the same goal, so I continue to practice indomitably, I finally recalled a lot of things, but I fell into even greater confusion. Hundreds of millions of questions fell on my head like brilliant stars falling from the sky. superior.

"What is the difference between true and false?"

"In the end, is it Zhuang Zhou's dream of a butterfly, or is it a butterfly dreaming of Zhuang Zhou? Is it the vulture Li Yao's incarnation of three thousand people practicing in the virtual world, or is it the practice of countless creatures in the three thousand worlds, condensing strands of shining flames, which can be seen in the virtual world?" In a high dimension, the vulture Li Yao was pieced together?

"If I create these virtual worlds, do I also live in a virtual world created by others? And if I, the creator of the creator, also has its creator?

"How should the creator deal with the moral dilemma when he travels among his creations? Do I have the right to kill the virtual life I created? Do I have the right to interfere and change their historical process? When I create a virtual The world, and this virtual world will soon be full of vitality, even after the birth of the spirit of all things, do I still have the right to close it? If the virtual lives in this virtual world wake up one after another and want to resist my control, their resistance is justice Is my suppression evil?

"There is no correct answer to these questions, and what I have to say is 'the world is not benevolent, and everything is a humble dog'.

"I used to not understand this sentence. If the heaven and the earth really have no benevolence, why should they conceive life and nourish all things?

"But now, I understand that for 'Heaven and Earth' or 'Tiandao', the world is just a virtual game, and everything is just a series of data and programs. You kill a person or save a person in the virtual game, Killing 10,000 people or saving 10,000 people, what kind of "justice" or "evil" is there? The so-called "inhumanity" does not mean cruelty and evil, but that the standard of "righteousness and evil" cannot be used to evaluate the way of heaven. as.

"Even so, I still want to resist, surpass and conquer the way of heaven.

"I want to conquer the way of heaven, not because I am righteous and the way of heaven is evil, but just for the reason you just said, 'the way of heaven is there'.

"Having gained such an awareness, even if I have achieved a little bit of insignificant fruit in this illusory and real practice, it's time to leave.

"But before I leave, I still want to leave something behind. In all the virtual worlds I have experienced, you are the first and only one who questioned the world and wanted to go beyond space and explore the reality. I don't know you Is it a 'human', or is it the result of the random surge of big data, or the projection of my own will under my constant interference? In front of you, don’t give up the courage to continue to pursue a higher level of truth, a brighter truth!”

"so……"

Facing Lao Li's unfathomable eyes, Wan Xiaotian unconsciously believed it, fell into great pain and despair, and murmured, "Am I fake?"

"That's what I'm going to remind you, no, of course you're not fake, you're 'virtual' but not 'fake', that's two different things."

Lao Li said, "What is reality? A human being who consists of cells made of carbon, iron and oxygen, and then flesh and blood, is stimulated by nerve currents, exchanges information with the surrounding world for tens of hundreds of years, and then dies. It turns into a handful of dead bones and a pile of loess. In a few years, from the perspective of the universe, even the planet where the dead bones are buried will be wiped out in just a few years. Is this the "real human being"? Such a "true human being" How much more indelible significance does "human being" have than the "virtual human" directly shaped by data and information?

"No, truth and falsehood are not distinguished in this way.

"Suppose, I am a writer, and you are the character I created in my pen. It seems that I am the creator, you are the creation, I am real, and you are false, but it is very likely that hundreds of years later, I will die a long time ago. There is not even a single bit of stubble left, and you are forgotten by everyone, and you are still remembered by some readers, and you can touch people hundreds of years later. So, you and me, who is real and who is fake, who is high-level and who is low-level ?

"Assume further that a painter puts all his life, spirit and will into a famous painting that has been handed down through the ages, and then dies and is sent to the crematorium, where the ashes are wiped out and gone with the wind. From then on , people in the world can only know this painter through this famous painting, then who do you think is the real body of this painter, the flesh and blood body that has been turned into ashes long ago, or this famous painting, or the tens of thousands of people? People are deeply thought, moved, debated and stirred up by countless brain waves caused by this famous painting?"

Wan Xiaotian listened intently, and thought of many things in a daze.

"This is what I want to say, young man, the so-called 'truth' does not exist, but the 'path to truth' not only exists, but it is worth all our efforts to conquer it, I look forward to, one day you can find your own 'Real', find a way to go beyond reality, beyond space, beyond the universe, go to a higher-dimensional universe, find me, surpass me, conquer me, destroy me, just as... I will also rush out of my universe, go to Find my creator, surpass it, conquer it, and destroy it!

"I firmly believe that we will all be successful.

"Because... maybe... that's the only reason we were created!"

Lao Li smiled, patted Wan Xiaotian on the shoulder, stood up, gently put the mop and bucket aside, and walked out.

"Old Li!"

Wan Xiaotian was still a little confused, "Where are you going?"

"It's almost time, I should go. Although the cultivation these days is very interesting, my wife is already impatient and eager to try it. It's not a joke that she rushed in so furiously."

Old Li waved his hand without looking back, "Goodbye, young man, I hope one day you can tell me the answer to what is real."

As Lao Li said, he pushed open the door of a toilet cubicle.

Soon, there was the sound of the flushing of the toilet.

"Lao Li"

Wan Xiaotian was in a hurry, and rushed to push the door recklessly.

The door was not locked, Wan Xiaotian rushed in, but missed.

The compartment was only one meter square, so there was no way there could be a second door, but Lao Li disappeared out of thin air.

Only in the turbulent water flow of the toilet bowl, there is a rainbow-like mysterious light blooming indistinctly.

"This this……"

Wan Xiaotian was completely dumbfounded when he looked at the toilet with the rainbow flying around.
