On June 15, 837, the sound of the paper was rustling, and the light of the fluorite lamp projected on the desk, with a warm light golden light.
In the two floor of the residence of Moldova Lord's house, there were few writing voices, and simultaneous interpreting the steady and regular breathing sounds proved that the writer's thinking was clear and fluent.
As you can see, it is a piece of well-made, clean and white writing paper. A big hand is holding a pen, on which a series of characters are written at a slow but stable speed.
The most holy Iger: on the essence of the extreme meaning of soul
This is the beginning of the letter, and then there is a large amount of words, because the first page has just been turned, so we can only look at the beginning of the second page.
"Based on the above conclusion, you should also understand my opinion and the words used to describe it."
The pen as like as two peas is not a fancy word. He writes as if the machine were running. It is exactly the same as the standard font. Even with a magnifying glass, it can not be found any different. In this rhythm, he continues to write: "I can say that the normal human brain is hardware, so the soul is an extra mounted virtual processor. It can optimize the operation of hardware, and self-consciousness can activate the whole body by running the hardware of brain and loading the database of memory and genetic instinct. "
"However, there are limits to the hardware. The fragile human brain can't work with overload... And whether it's the breathing cycle of fighting Qi or the rune operation of magic, it needs to occupy a lot of resources. In the battle of subsonic and supersonic speed, the human brain can't load this kind of computing speed. At this time, the soul will take over part of the work, Processing part of the information. "
"In the training of the White Dragon Knights, I use the force of steel to detect every change of each of them in the process of training, whether soul or vitality... In high-intensity training, the brain will be protected by life energy or magic to maintain its overload operation, but when it comes to combat, the brain will not overload operation, Because then the soul will take over the body instead of the brain. "
"It's a qualitative change... At this stage, the soul will be moistened by energy and develop at a high speed. When the soldiers can release their fighting spirit and the mages can control their external energy, their souls will all mature." the sixth sense "," danger prediction "," the way of sincerity "and" mind and eye "are basically developed at this stage."
When he wrote here, the man holding the pen stopped for a moment. He seemed to be thinking about the wording. After a while, he began to write again: "the soul grows with the growth of extraordinary power. At the golden level, it does not optimize the algorithm of the brain, but takes over all the complicated calculations, and wait until the extreme or even the legend is advanced, Even the brain is not necessary. It can be abandoned at any time. "
"I have every reason to draw such a conclusion: the soul is an organ evolved by human beings in order to master the transcendence. It did not exist when our species was born, but evolved under the environment of high concentration of energy. The soul is a part of ordinary people's consciousness, but it is the whole of most of the Transcendence - its existence itself, It is the embodiment of "extraordinary power" and "initial fire" in human beings created by "steel power" and "vitality", and the fusion of fire and steel power. "
"The so-called extreme meaning of the soul is when the soul completely gets rid of all constraints and becomes an independent individual."
At this time, the writer's writing became heavy: "at that time, the original concept of" human "had disappeared, and the new and sublimated" human soul "appeared. They may still have bodies, but they are no longer the subject of life."
"This is my view of" soul "and" the extreme meaning of soul. "
"- Joshua van Radcliffe."
The letter was finished and Joshua, the pen holder, put it in the envelope. On the envelope, the brilliant magic light flickered. In a flash, the envelope turned to ashes in the changeable magic light. In a distance, a letter with exactly the same content was slowly emerging in a fine crystal array.
Recently, Igor is very busy, and the old Pope has more work than others: whether it's the holy mountain fortress or the birth of the seven gods, all of which are his responsibilities. Because of this, Joshua, who used to discuss and debate all kinds of supernatural power with each other, now chooses to use letters to communicate with each other and exchange their views.
Although the current communication phalanx has developed to an extremely advanced level and can even cross the mainland, Joshua thinks it's not a bad thing to be nostalgic once in a while. Anyway, he has a lot of time and it's good to write. He puts down his pen and then stands up from his seat. The soldier sits on the sofa in the corner of his study and closes his eyes.
Now, Joshua has got the answer of his own soul, but he is not ready to go this way.For the vast majority of people in this world, the reason why the soul grows with the strength is that the brain, as a hardware, can't process all kinds of information faster and faster. Moreover, as the key, the brain is often targeted by the enemy, so it's right to abandon the brain and choose the soul... But not always.
For example, Joshua's hardware is harder than all the others put together. Even as a virus that can assimilate consciousness algorithms, his "divinity" is hard to erode.
The head is harder than the head of a soldier, perhaps only the steel python. The body of this great will is actually the whole world. As the purest creation of steel, the world's soul is naturally the purest condensation of fire, which is also the fusion of fire and steel. It's a pity that the "world" can't be used as a thinking organ, so the steel Python still uses the soul to think.
Joshua is different from the steel Python and other ordinary people. At this time, his body is completely composed of degenerate material. No matter what overload operation, it is impossible to cause any damage to this material. Instead of using this material, he only needs to assemble a supercomputer for himself to carry his own meaning and soul, Then his pure calculation speed will surpass most legends. If he is assisted by his soul, he can even reach the level of "foretelling".
But through the soul, Joshua, who has no vital points for the time being, does not intend to create a vital key and weakness for himself. His plan is to let every part of his body have independent computing power and independent survival ability: even a drop of blood, a little debris and a touch of dust can carry out calculation and reorganization, Self replication... Sounds familiar? A drop of blood can breed a race, and a little bit of debris can transform most of the world. Even if it has been dead for thousands of years, the thinking particles left behind can still form a fog of God and doom, and can preserve most of the thinking and memory——
This is the "perfect body" of Cologne and the "immortal soul" of the gods, Two kinds of existence almost standing at the top of life have almost immortal power, which are praised and worshipped by people in the world.
With reference to the representative abilities of the two, and supplemented by the sage fayna's "quality spirit conversion equation", Joshua is also ready to create his own unique immortal power. When this power comes true, even if the soldiers are killed, he can be reborn from the debris of his body, and his soul is his body, His body can also be transformed into his soul.
At that time, unless there is no material left that completely annihilates Joshua's whole person and soul, we can't kill him. At most, we can seal him and wait for his comeback.
Once again, he straightened out his ideas. Joshua nodded and opened his eyes. He had already set his next development goal and road. When he reached 100% assimilation of steel power and advanced to the legendary middle level, he would begin to improve his "immortal power".
At that time, waiting for him, is no end, towards the infinite legendary high-level.
"It's time."
Standing up from the sofa, the soldier walked out of the study. Joshua came to the top floor of the Lord's mansion. The magnetic field surged around him, and he rose slowly. Then he accelerated in the safe area. The strong wind blew around him, and instantly surpassed the clouds.
Today is an agreed day. After the boundless heaven was completely merged into the world of mirov and became a stable sub space over the west mountain, one of the seven gods of the human race, the God of power and justice, sent out an invitation letter to the three legends of the northern empire. The God invited everyone to meet him in the middle of the boundless sea in the northernmost part of the world, Discuss some questions about the future of the world.
Joshua doesn't care about the future of the world. In his opinion, the world of mccrolfe is good enough. Deliberate intervention will lead to bad results. God and legend only need to maintain order and stability to ensure the normal progress of the world... But he is very interested in the seven gods. To be exact, Joshua is very interested in "God".
He wants to know what kind of life form these gods are and what they are? Why so powerful? The order cycle shaped by divinity enables them to maintain their self-consciousness under the erosion of the multi cosmic sources. What is the mystery of this cycle?
If God is the opponent, what can he achieve now?
Because of this curiosity, So Joshua simply agreed to come down, and set out at this time, toward the world's northernmost fly.
The dim silver light across the sky, across the snow capped mountain of Nicaea, across the Arctic ice sheet, across the great AEAS mountains, the silver light is not obvious, but the light around it is slightly distorted. In silence, he has come to the frozen soil covered by eternal ice and snow, the shore of the ice capped white sea.
The chill from the end of the world crosses the whole ice ocean belt and blows on the frozen soil along the coast. The long-standing cold wind makes the glaciers as strong as iron. It's summer, but there is still no warming trend around the sea. Tall icebergs stand towering on the sea, Wanzhang ice cliff is full of time marks - this is the mountain accumulated by day after day of Blizzard, their existence itself means the collection of all the snowfall in the boundless sea for thousands of years.The main reason why we choose this place to meet is to avoid other people watching. In addition, God and legendary power resonate with each other a little, which may lead to terrible natural disasters. Therefore, it is best to choose a place where there is no one to see and minimize all possible hidden dangers.
It doesn't take long to find each other's position. Joshua looks around, and an introverted but still terrifying energy wave appears in front of him. It presents a complex form in the energy vision, like a dark gray kaleidoscope that is constantly rotating and never repeats the shape. With Joshua's approach, he can see the energy wave, This complex kaleidoscope of energy begins to condense and finally forms a black ring that keeps spinning.
This is the center of the boundless sea, but it is different from the raging storm along the coast. It is unexpectedly calm here. Joshua slowly landed here, on a white frost plain, without any towering obstacles around. The slightly dim sunlight shines through the clouds. After the soldiers landed, He went straight ahead: an inconspicuous gray knight was standing there, waiting for Joshua.
"They haven't come yet?"
Joshua slowly approached the knight with long gray hair. His face was hard, but the lines of his face were slightly soft. The God was wearing a strong and heavy armor, which was engraved with exquisite and detailed relief. The black cloak quietly turned behind him without making a sound.
"No, Joshua, they've all been here."
The gray haired knight, the God of power and justice, the incarnation of Xing Zheng in the human world, replied that his voice was dignified, but it was not as serious as before. The soldiers could even hear a little light from it: "I have made an appointment with you three at three time points. Israel and nozhatan MAS have met and talked with me and left. You are the last one."
"So."
Joshua was not surprised by the result. In other words, he didn't care. The soldiers were staring at the incarnation of this God in the world. It was different from meeting each other in the void. Now, under the shell of the gray knight, it was the essence of the existence of the gods, the condensation of their divine lines, divinity and power, At this time, Joshua could even hear the murmur of prayer coming from each other, which made the silent land shrouded in a sacred atmosphere.
At this time, they were standing face to face at a distance of more than ten meters. Both sides were seriously looking at Fang and observing each other. This silence lasted for nearly five minutes. Five minutes later, Joshua said slowly: "legend is the most powerful existence in the world, It's normal for the gods to want to know about them... But I don't think you want to see us for such superficial reasons. What's your purpose, your majesty Xing Zheng? "
"Ask some questions, get some answers, confirm some things, and, Joshua, you're really getting better."
After nodding, Xing Zheng patiently replied, nodding and praising: "the last time I met you, the divinity in your body was still ready to move, and now, your will and your body are integrated into one, and you are about to cross the biggest threshold of legend... It's too proud to say that it's gratifying, but I'm really very happy, because there are strong people like you in human beings."
"Ha ha." Hearing a God Praise himself so frankly, even Joshua couldn't help but be stunned. Then he laughed. He shook his head and said, "Your Majesty Xing Zheng, there are many legends. Everyone pays for protecting the world, and I'm just one of them."
"You are worthy of this praise, rekindler." Xing Zheng waved his hand. He ended the topic. God stood in the same place and looked up at the sky. This was a scene he had never seen in the boundless heaven: "what do you ask me for? My purpose is very simple. At the beginning, when the seven gods were together in the boundless heaven, we were far away from the world. We just performed our duty to protect the civilization and the world. But these days, I have hidden my identity and traveled half a continent. I have learned many things and many problems. "
He put his eyes down from the sky, and Xing Zheng gazed into Joshua's eyes. His eyes were shining with cold and hard metal luster. It was the dark gray divine power. This divine power could control the atmosphere and dust just by overflowing. The reason why there was no strong wind in the middle of the sea was probably because of this divine power, The powerful God said in a very serious way: "our gods are born to protect their own groups and maintain order and civilization... The seven gods join hands to maintain the order of the human world, while the gods of other races will also protect their people. Before the threat of evil gods, we can live in peace and advance hand in hand, but this situation can not last forever, Because even there are contradictions between the seven gods, but they don't break out for various reasons. "
"What contradiction?"
Joshua could not help asking, his brow wrinkled, and the soldier was quite puzzled: "you have cooperated for thousands of years to resist all kinds of foreign enemies, ORC God, five color Dragon God, so that the will of the world is suppressed by you, and the abyss Lord dare not make mistakes because of you... How can there be any contradiction between you?""It's not the human contradiction of gratitude and resentment... Joshua, it's the most fundamental problem: we have different views on order."
Xing Zheng's voice is calm. He has understood this for a long time, so he doesn't have any emotion: "therefore, we can't join hands forever. We all want to carry out our own order. This is the biggest contradiction."
Hearing this, Joshua could not help frowning slightly. He understood that the so-called "different order" would bring about different ideas, that is, the overall differences in world outlook, outlook on life and values. However, the three views of human beings could not be completely different, and the order of the seven gods could never run counter to each other - if so, they would have been fighting for a long time because of the civil war.
"Order can coexist. It is not the relationship between order and chaos. It has to be separated from life and death." Thinking about this, Joshua said: "your faith is not in a region, and the contradiction is not big."
"... maybe so, but different orders will lead to the division of civilization. If we do not unify all people under the same order and trend of thought, we will never reach the same level of brilliance as the glorious era."
As for Joshua's understanding, Xing Zheng nodded and shook his head. He knew that the other party was right, but for various reasons, he could not do it according to this statement.
"Order is a well-organized and well-organized society. It is stable, and even changes have continuity and consistency... And powerful forces are the root of order."
While saying this, the God of justice and power began to walk in the direction of Joshua. He walked slowly, and said to the soldiers in a calm tone: "justice is my definition of order. Without it, society would be chaotic and decadent, and power is the root of supporting my justice. Without it, justice would be fragile, All children can spit and sneer and make fun of it. "
"Only when we have the power to control everything, can we have the qualification to regulate the world. Without power, who can judge the good and evil in the world, and who can pacify the social chaos? Justice is powerless. Only strength can defend it. "
"Order is power, power is justice."
At this point, Xing Zheng had come to Joshua. The God and the soldier were face to face. The distance between them was less than half a meter. The cloak behind the gray Knight began to float slowly, which was the symbol of the soldier's own gravity began to fluctuate. He was silent and no longer spoke.
The eyes of the God of power can no longer be seen. What burns in his eyes is only the dark gray light of divine power. At this time, he does not speak, but all silence is better than sound. No matter who it is, everyone knows what the silence is for and what the waiting of the gods is for.
What do you think of order, Joshua?
Faced with this silent question, Joshua did not answer immediately. He first raised his head, looked at the sky, then lowered his eyes again, and returned to Xing Zheng, the God of power, who was silent. He was still staring at the soldiers. After looking at each other for a long time, Joshua said slowly, "Your Majesty Xing Zheng."
"Are you going to choose your successor?"
Looking at the sudden stagnation of the God of power for a moment, Joshua confirmed this. He sighed and then said in a soft voice: "just now I saw that your breath was much stronger than what I saw in the void... And in just a few minutes, you were powerful at the speed I could observe for a moment, You... "
Joshua was not speaking, because Xing Zheng was shaking his head. He laughed and shook his head. He interrupted the soldier's next words.
"Don't guess, it's inevitable."
The God said in an indifferent tone: "we have been looking for the awakened God for a long time. We have been consciously selecting objects since hundreds of years ago, just in case of today's results... Hum, it's a little too much work to make the two worlds merge and suppress the world consciousness at the same time, and then purify the souls of the whole world."
Joshua was silent.
Because of the nature priest, because of the secret biography of the descendants of the Earth Goddess, because of all kinds of knowledge, the soldiers clearly know all kinds of wonderful qualities of the gods... For example, the more powerful, the closer to extinction.
The reason why gods are life is that they can extract endless power from the great source of the multiverse by virtue of their divinity. They are extremely powerful from the beginning, immortal and immortal. But it is precisely because of this too powerful power that the divinity will slowly assimilate the soul and will of the gods, and the more powerful the gods are, The more violent the assimilation comes.
The gods form a circle of order with other corresponding divinities and logic to suppress this assimilation. The ideological trend brought by faith can also help them alleviate the assimilation brought by divinity. If they want to become stronger, they must keep this circle stronger, which is equivalent to dancing with shackles. This speed is extremely slow, on the contrary, it doesn't matter if they are injured, On the contrary, it can better let the gods maintain their own existence, but there will be no such gods who weaken themselves in order to ensure their own existence?The most important thing for gods is not to use the power of "transcending boundaries": for ordinary gods, the power is almost infinite, but it does not mean that they can use it. The size of the tap is one of them, and the boundary is another. If the God uses the power beyond his control, he will be assimilated by the suddenly stronger divinity. At that time, the divinity will become stronger and stronger, and the order cycle will become weaker and weaker. Finally, the God will be completely assimilated and disappear into the multi universe, That is the so-called extinction.
Now, Xing Zheng is getting stronger at the speed that Joshua can observe, which is beyond the normal speed of God's progress. There is only one explanation for this situation, that is, the God of power has used his power beyond his own limits in his previous actions... He is being assimilated by God.
"It's not surprising, Joshua. His divine power is extremely powerful. If he can use it to the extreme, he can even reverse the logic of reality and make two plus two equal to five. How can he easily control this power?"
Xing Zheng himself has no worries, his expression is calm, and his tone is even a little relaxed and happy: "looking for the awakened God... If you don't want to be assimilated by the divinity, become an unconscious order machine, let this power vanish in the multi universe, then this is the only choice, I have to find the successor."
"Then, can you answer my question? What is order to you, Joshua
At this point, Xing Zheng is ushered in a silence, he is waiting in this silence, full of hope, even if the answer is not satisfactory, then he does not matter, the God of power just wants to know Radcliffe's answer, he just wants to know this, and has no other requirements.
But he did not wait for an answer.
Joshua was still silent. He looked directly at Xing Zheng, and his eyes did not hide. But he still did not speak. The soldier disdained to say an answer that he could not understand. He was not willing to give an answer that he could not be sure. So at this time, he could only be silent.
Finally, the gray haired Knight sighed. Xing Zheng slowly turned around. He said in a flat but not undulating tone: "Joshua, we, the seven gods, all have high expectations for you."
"You are the fastest, strongest and most perfect man in the history of the world."
"In the whole history of the glorious era and the falling era, your power is only second to the sage, next to the saint who can only look up to God and can not understand his realm. You are the only one who is close to him and the one who pushes the same order to the whole world of mirov."
"We can't estimate your future, and we don't need to estimate it... Your presence makes us very satisfied, happy and happy. You can help us and guard the world instead of us."
"But you haven't found your order yet."
Standing in the windless snow, Xing Zheng completely turned around, looked at the endless snow, slowly shook his head, he whispered: "Israel and Nostradamus do better than you at this point, they have a firm belief - not to say you don't, but they have the world they want to achieve and the order they want to achieve in their hearts."
At the end of the speech, Xing Zheng's body disintegrated, and the gray Knight turned into countless dark gray fragments. They spun and condensed like nebulae in midair, and finally turned into a pure black floating ring. The ring rotated once in midair, from which came the voice of majesty.
"You are the closest to the sages... I want to know your answer, the purpose is so simple."
With a few unobservable streamers, the black circle disappeared in the ice layer in the middle of the sea. As the diffuse power dissipated, the noisy north wind began to blow again. We could hear the harsh wind tearing the atmosphere, with a sharp roar. Joshua stood in the middle of the snow, still frowning and silent.
"My order..."
After a long time, the soldier whispered to himself, and countless fragments flashed through his mind - about fighting, about pioneering, about the distant sea of stars, about the infinite world in the void... Joshua could not help but smile, but then sighed.
He understood the purpose of Xing Zheng... But he still couldn't give an answer.
Joshua saw too much and did too much. The eyes of the soldiers straddled countless worlds. He had seen the peculiar time view and fertility view of the atrium people. He had seen the distinctive magic technology of the migration elves. Joshua's eyes did not stay in Moldavia, or even in mccroft. His eyes penetrated the multiverse.
From such a broad perspective, how can he get the answer that can cover all the "order"?
Although he said that, Joshua was not at a loss. Several shadows flashed in his mind: the Empire's external development department, the ten thousand world sacrificial hall, and Xiaoguang... He thought of many things, such as becoming stronger, fighting, and continuous exploration, which were the beliefs that supported him all the time. If we want to get his own order, Then these key points must not be less."My order."
Repeated the word again, Joshua could not help shaking his head again.
"That's a good question."
