Du Ming is very satisfied with his current life. As the creator god of a world, he enjoys the blessings of all people. According to the Buddhist saying of suffering in this life and enjoying blessings in the next life, I am afraid that no matter how much suffering he suffers in this life, he will not be able to bear this kind of blessing in the next life.
.
"In fact, during this thousand years, we discovered the existence of souls."
"Soul?" Du Ming repeated, outlining the concept that civilization has a soul, but his existence has never been confirmed. It seems that the real world has developed very quickly in the past thousand years.
"Yes, the soul is the basis for judging whether a person is alive or dead. If there is no soul, it belongs to the corpse. If there is a soul, it is considered alive. When Feitian Company said that it can make people live two hundred years, it means that after two hundred years, the person will
They will die and their souls will go to the underworld.”
Jiang Li did not lie to Du Ming. He had done a lot of research on souls, and this was the conclusion he came up with.
The soul is closely related to the ability to think. Without a soul, one does not necessarily have the ability to think. If one has a soul, one must have the ability to think.
The remnants of the great dreamer are those who have the ability to think, but are not counted as souls.
The yin and yang heavenly seal enlightens the spirit treasure, which is to give the soul a prototype, giving it the ability to think, and after a period of time, it becomes a real soul.
Now several years have passed, and those enlightened spirit treasures have real souls.
It can be seen that the ability to think is the prerequisite for the formation of the soul.
The outline civilization has not yet developed enough to give the program the ability to think. This is to create the power of the soul out of nothing. It is impossible to do this if you are not at the immortal level, so the virtual personality is just a program.
"You mean that Du Ming is indeed dead, and now I am Du Ming's virtual personality, and my current behavior is all a program?" Du Ming's pupils shrank, shocked by the news, but he soon returned to normal, but
There was a bit of sadness in his tone.
"As expected, I thought I belonged to another form of living, but I didn't expect..." Du Ming shook his head, "No, it doesn't mean I didn't expect it, I just deliberately didn't think about it."
"No more?" Bai Hongtu stared.
Bai Hongtu thought about how Du Ming would react after learning the truth about his death. It could be chaotic thinking, yelling, or heartbreaking.
But I never thought it would be so bland, as bland as drinking a glass of boiled water.
"If you die, you will die. Anyway, the real Du Ming is dead, and I am not the real Du Ming." Du Ming shrugged.
"And the real Du Ming was mentally prepared before entering the virtual world. He would die without regrets. If he could turn back time, he would make the same choice."
Jiang Li didn't know how to refute. From Du Ming's position, he couldn't make a better choice for Du Ming.
Du Ming is the epitome of hundreds of millions of outline people.
"What surprises me most is not death, but the existence of a real soul." Du Ming said. Although he was a virtual personality, judging from his reaction, there was no difference from the real Du Ming.
"Have you ever wondered why we outline the discovery of the soul in the last thousand years of civilization, but the concept of the soul existed before that?"
It outlines that civilized people are generally knowledgeable. Even though Du Ming did not have a high degree of education and could only be a small clerk, he also learned about humanities and social aspects when he was in school, and thought about this issue in depth.
Du Ming expressed his opinion: "Because what humans fear is not death, but the loss of consciousness."
"Ashes return to dust, soil returns to soil. When a person dies, it's like a light goes out and everything disappears. This is what human beings fear. That's why they imagine souls, thinking that people will still have consciousness after death, so as to give the living a little comfort."
Du Ming laughed: "I didn't expect that souls really exist. Learning this news actually made me feel unexpectedly happy."
"The real Du Ming is dead, but he still has a soul and consciousness. I am happy for him."
"I have no consciousness and can only act according to the program. However, consciousness is a very imaginary thing. Even if you say that I am not conscious, I still feel that I am conscious. At most, I am a little uncomfortable."
Du Ming was very open-minded, leaving Jiang Li speechless.
"I remember you said that Feitian Company forces you to work, so you think the virtual world is wonderful. If you were told that working in the real world was easy, or you didn't even have to work, and you could find your love, would you choose to stay in the virtual world for the rest of your life?
"
Jiang Li checked Du Ming's position in Feitian Company and related it to outline the technological level of civilization. This position can be completely replaced by robots.
Feitian Company not only did not use robots to ease the work, but also deliberately increased Du Ming's burden.
This forced Du Ming to come to the virtual world.
Jiang Li also discovered that most of the duties of outlining civilization were redundant and could all be completed by machines.
Du Ming thought for a while and said: "After struggling for a while, I will still come to the virtual world. No matter how free the real world is, it is not as free as the virtual world. In my world, you can play with the world at will, create everything, and adjust time.
, the outside world passes for one minute, and I can spend a hundred years in the virtual world. Compared with reality, the virtual world attracts me more."
"If I find someone I like in the real world, I can also drag her into the virtual world. The virtual world has more ways to play."
The two were silent. It seemed that Feitian Company deliberately increased people's workload and only accelerated the implementation of the euthanasia plan. Even if it was not increased, people would consciously choose to enter the virtual world sooner or later.
This is an unsolvable question.
Holographic simulators capture people's hearts tightly and force people to accept them.
From a personal point of view, no one can refuse the virtual world. If Jiang Li did not have the status of human emperor when he first traveled through time, and was not in the Mahayana period, he would probably stay in the virtual world for the rest of his life.
Only the ruling class that stands at the overall level, considers the overall situation, and wants to advance civilization can have reasons to reject the virtual world.
The Feitian Company, which outlines the civilization's ruling class and should consider the overall situation, is the one who personally contributed to this result.
Therefore, it has become an inevitable result to outline that the entire civilization has entered the virtual era.
Is it sad and deplorable, or gratifying?
The two said goodbye to Du Ming and wanted to ask other people to see what they thought. After all, Du Ming was a family member.
Du Ming watched the two people leave, feeling uncomfortable as he thought that he was just an avatar, a program, without the ability to think.
And this discomfort is also a procedure, not a real feeling.
He has no real feelings.
"If I were a living person, I shouldn't be able to modify my memory, but I'm a program, why can't I modify my memory?"
Du Ming did what he thought of and found that memory could really be modified, so he deleted the memory of meeting Jiang Li.
"Huh? Why am I here?" Du Ming scratched his head and found that he was in the big world, but couldn't remember why he was here.
"Whatever, Lisdale and the others are still waiting for me."
Du Ming returned to his little world and continued to live the retired life of a brave man, carefree and carefree.
