Chapter 844：

Some people think that it is because of human intelligence, but throughout history, in the Holocene where primates are prospering, the race with high intelligence is not the only kind of human ancestor Homo sapiens. Neanderthals, Thoreaus, Denisovars... At that time Homo sapiens had many close relatives as their competitors. Among them, Neanderthals and others had a brain capacity and a surpassing that of Homo sapiens. Intelligence-So why did Homo sapiens wipe out all the competitors and have the last laugh?

The most likely answer is: Homo sapiens can conquer the world because of its unique language and thinking mode, all of which give Homo sapiens the ability to tell stories.

Throughout the entire biological world, although there are no lack of creatures with social life such as lions and dolphins, except for special collectives such as ants and bees, no species can gather together in thousands like humans. In the name of the country, the nation, and the society, and the division of labor that is completely unknown to the same kind of cooperation, various miracles have been created.

All this is because Homo sapiens have imagination and can tell stories.

As a Homo sapiens living in modern society, the so-called company, country, nation and other concepts are as natural as the sun, the moon, and the stars to everyone, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that these companies, countries, nations, mountains and rivers, The rivers, the sun and the moon are actually quite different from each other—they themselves have no entities, meaningless existence.

But it is these meaningless, no physical existences that connect humans and humans together and unite in one place.

These are the stories of Homo sapiens, the imagination of Homo sapiens.

All this is just an imaginary community.

Fictional stories bind thousands of individuals, families and groups together like glue. This glue makes Homo sapiens the primate of all things.

Even in the theory of magic, imagination has power, whether it’s belief or fantasy, even history—it’s undeniable that although everything recorded in history has ever happened, for people today, the so-called history is only Exist in people's imagination.

And the highest crystallization of this power is the heroic spirit.

And the sea of ​​hearts was born because of this.

Through the imagined community, the independent consciousness between mankind and mankind finally has exchanges. This kind of communication extends infinitely with this as a fulcrum, forming a large network that encompasses all human thoughts.

When humans are governed by tribes, each tribe owns this big net.

When tribes and tribes merge into a country, nets and nets also unite in one place.

And when countries communicate with each other, civilizations and civilizations communicate with each other, the web of human thoughts finally connects the entire world of humans. Thus, Wang Yang Dahai, who accommodated human thinking, was born.

This is the sea of ​​hearts, a collection of mind, memory, and subconscious that appears in the form of space.

And Alaya was born in it—or, Alaya is its essence.

In fact, even before the birth of Alaya, the sea of ​​heart already existed. Outside of the gods, the power of the sea of ​​heart has been affecting mankind in all aspects. It can be said that the sea of ​​heart is the embodiment of humanity and civilization.

In the final analysis, the so-called human principles and civilization have never appeared on any pure matter.

A sharp sword is the manifestation of human nature, but it is not human nature-the technology of casting and mining it, the skill of waving and using it, and the purpose of conquering and guarding it are the so-called human nature.

A splendid temple is a symbol of civilization, but it is not civilization—the technology of building temples, the division of labor and cooperation in the process, the “beauty” represented by bricks and tiles in the temple, the gods enshrined in the temple, etc. Wait, all this is the so-called civilization.

Humanity and civilization have always existed in imagination and in the sea of ​​hearts.

Chapter 1028 C's World

The sea of ​​hearts has always been a mysterious and mysterious concept for the human beings who have emerged from civilization.

Except for certain wise men, philosophers, or people who have a strong influence on the "sea of ​​hearts"-that is, the existence of the "king"-ordinary humans are naturally unable to perceive its existence. .

In the ancient celestial dynasty, many philosophers touched this power vaguely. In order to make full use of this power, ancient philosophers created some rituals.

Because this force has the innate ability to influence the "human heart", these rituals were used and passed down by the ruling class of the celestial dynasty.

This power was called "heaven" by the ancients.

Or God, God.

The ritual to communicate this power is called "sacrifice to heaven."

Of course, precisely because the power of the Sea of ​​Heart is too obscure, and the existence of the gods concealed its brilliance, this power has long been conflated by humans and another power.

That is "Gaia", which is the power of the world.

The so-called "heaven" actually refers to the integration of "Gaia" and the sea of ​​heart-or the unawakened "Alaya".

If you only refer to Alaya, it means the so-called dynasty luck.

For the ruler of Kyushu, anyone who has the authority of the country is the one who is destined to return, and the luck is added, and the country and the ruler that caused the disaster are the people excluded by the luck. Qi Luck is the power of people. Which country it stands behind will become the patron of the times, representing the glory of the times.

The sum of the luck of all countries is humanity.

However, when all human beings are concentrated in one country, the luck of this country and the national luck of this country are the same as human beings.

And now, Ye Ting's ritual to descend into the sea of ​​heart with his body is based on the ritual of sacrificing to the heavens inherited from the "Zhou Li", a Kyushu alchemy ritual inherited from the Zhou Dynasty.

As the capital of the Great Qin Dynasty, Afang Palace, the place where the power of the celestial family is concentrated in the eyes of the people of Qin, is the place where the luck of the whole country gathers, and it is also the core of the current human principle.

The most important main hall in the Afang Palace, the main hall represents the throne of the emperor's authority, and is the core of the core.

Standing on the throne, Ye Ting started the ceremony of this person straight away.

As a result, the ceremonial attire once gifted by the gods when Qin Shihuang ascended the throne was once again worn on Ye Ting's body-the so-called godsend was the protection of humanity.

On his head is the crown of the Twelve Evil Night Pearl.

The black royal robe on his body has become a dragon robe representing the dragon veins of Kyushu.

The rest of the treasures also appear one after the other-the jade to Kunshan, the easy-going treasure, the pearl of the moon, the sword of Tai'a, the horse of slenderness, the flag of the green phoenix, and the drum of the tree spirit.

In the solemn and solemn hall, Ye Ting said aloud the sacrifice.

"The emperor goes to heaven, and the light descends on the earth. The spirit of gathering the land, rains the sweet wind and rain. Each has its place, and the common people live. Each has its place, and the present and the ancient. One person and one person worships the imperial heaven, the thin earth. The **** of heaven, Happiness and wind and rain. The common flowers and all things, the one who is not prosperous. Peace and tranquility, worship the spirit of the earth..."

Following the chanting of this sacrifice, Ye Ting suddenly felt that everything in front of him had changed.

In a daze, he heard thousands of whispers ringing in his ears. These voices were male and female, old and young. Although thousands of voices were mixed together, Ye Ting was strangely able to hear every voice. Hear it clearly.

These voices are the voices of human beings, the voices of his millions of people.

The emergence of the voice meant that Ye Ting was about to approach his goal.

Soon, a huge door with complex geometric figures painted on the surface appeared in front of his eyes.

Ye Ting knew that behind the door in front of him was his goal.

The ocean in the heart-belongs to C's world.

So he stepped forward and pushed the door straight open.

Perhaps he was the first person to open this door since mankind.

Although this door looked huge, it was unmistakable in Ye Ting's hands, and was easily pushed open-the collective unconsciousness of mankind didn't mean to hinder their king at all.
