The moment he came into contact with this huge information, Shado decisively terminated the spiritual link, while Atwood seemed unaware of this and was still immersed in the interaction with nature.
When Xia Duo saw this, he didn't wake him up. Instead, he leaned back and leaned on the back of the chair. The solid texture gave him a great sense of support.
At the same time, there were waves in his heart. After a little analysis, he knew what the huge information was!
Almost all of it is Atwood's understanding of nature.
From a drop of water to a blade of grass, from a tree to a forest, from an animal to a group of people, from a piece of land, an ocean to an entire plane, and even the sun, moon, stars, and myriad weather conditions.
All of this is almost all inclusive.
Sure enough, he is a pioneer in implementing the new natural concept!
However, there is a problem here
Shado easily discovered the differences between his and Atwood's understanding of certain specific things, most of which were concentrated in the field of magic.
In Atwood's view, the Magic Network is full of mysterious and unknown energy, and the Magic Network's strings are not as easy to operate as Shado understands.
In addition, Atwood believes that the entire world only has the main plane, and there is no concept of sub-planes at all. On the microscopic level, he does not know the elemental energy nature of matter at all.
As for his knowledge of the forest, there may be something unique to the magical world, but in Xia Duo's opinion, it is still easy to find errors and omissions.
Atwood has no understanding of concepts such as food chains and ecosystems, and his understanding of forest ecology is still very static.
It can be said that Atwood's understanding of nature, or the world, is incomplete, one-sided, and has strong personal opinions.
Quite a few are still wrong.
Is this what is called a “natural response”?
If not, it would be hard for Shado to believe that Atwood could share so much information with him in an instant. This would almost open up his whole body and mind to him, while at the same time blocking out information related to personal privacy and only sharing information related to the worldview.
(In fact, personal privacy is also shared, but it is not together with this information)
is it possible?
But if this is the so-called "natural response", will nature feed Atwood's worldview back to its original path?
But this so-called "nature" is originally a concept artificially created by the Shados. The mainstream concept of nature in Netheril still refers to the elves' concept of "nature is the forest".
If the will of nature really exists, why not feed back forest information, but feed back [nature] (the world or the universe) described by the "new natural concept"?
Do you really give back whatever you believe?
Then this "natural will" is really casual!
For a moment, Xia Duo fell into confusion and thought.
In fact, in his heart, he had already made a vague judgment, but this conclusion challenged his three views and made it difficult for him to accept it.
That is, the existence of concepts such as thoughts and ideas may indeed form some kind of mysterious objective entity, manifesting as some kind of god-like will.
Here, Atwood perceives the objective entity formed by the new natural concept, and he regards it as the will of nature. In the future, the holy power of nature may appear.
But this conclusion will lead to the essence of the world, which is difficult for Sha Duo to accept. Even if he knew that the essence of the world is energy, it would not be so difficult for him to accept.
After all, energy is essentially matter, or it is an objective existence, and the basis of its existence in an idealistic world is very illusory.
At least in the eyes of Xia Duo, who is accustomed to the primacy of material things, it is very illusory.
This may even give him the illusion that time travel is just a dream, making him feel that his current efforts are meaningless, and that he may have completely forgotten it when he wakes up.
This situation once again reminded him of the fact that he had been reluctant to think of in the past, that is, this world was very similar to a game he had played on Earth!
If you think about it more deeply, maybe the earth does not exist at all, and everything is an illusion!
"No, we can't continue to think blindly!"
Glancing at Atwood, who was still immersed in the state of perception, Shado stood up and walked around, but felt that he could not relieve himself.
He walked out of the study rather irritably and flew out through the balcony at the end of the corridor. When he reached the sky, the unobstructed cold wind penetrated the weak elemental balance field of the robe and blew onto Sha Duo's face, which lifted his spirits.
He simply closed the elemental balance field on his robe, letting more cold wind blow on his face, and deliberately flew at high speed in the direction of the north wind.
It wasn't until he approached the village south of Savile territory that Shado calmed down and didn't go back. He just stopped in mid-air, thinking blankly.
As he said before, the nature of the world has no meaning to him now. He is far from the time when he needs to study the nature of the world in depth.
As for the question of whether this world and even the memories before time travel are illusory, it is actually easy to solve. There is a solution in Xia Duo's memory——
"Cogito ergo sum!"
As long as you can still think, so what if everything outside of consciousness is virtual? At least it means that the subject of thinking—the self—exists.
Existence itself is meaning, and there is no such thing as meaninglessness.
Even if this world is an illusion, he can still perfect himself here, which is also meaningful.
There is no saying that it is meaningless.
After calming down, Xia Duo's rationality once again gained the upper hand. Even in an idealistic world, it is only a question of who comes first, spiritual or material.
It has absolutely nothing to do with whether it is true or not.
Blindly trapped in self-denial is meaningless.
What's more, his current understanding of the nature of the world is not comprehensive, but is based on some theories on earth. Whether it can be used in the magical world is still a question mark!
How can it be used as an absolute guide to deny its own meaning!
People should actively seek the meaning of existence instead of denying the meaning of existence.
At this moment, under the baptism of the cold wind, Xia Duo's ideological realm has been sublimated.
In fact, looking back at the various theories in my memory, I found no content that taught people to deny everything. Instead, most of them were positive and pursued a better future.
In the past, Xia Duo often claimed to be an advanced representative, but now he is obsessed with illusion and is no longer advanced.
However, this was indeed a strong impact on him from the so-called "natural response". After understanding all this, Sha Duo was once again full of expectations for the future.
With all kinds of variables and unknowns, the future will be more challenging and worth looking forward to!
