Chapter 796 The Secret of the Dream World (Part 2)
The lives of ordinary people are too fragile, and an accident can easily take away their lives.
But for a practitioner like Jiang Qinian, his vitality can even be said to be terrifyingly tenacious.
For ordinary people, even if there are no accidents or diseases, when time comes, their organs will fail and they will die.
Practitioners almost never get sick except for accidents. In the eyes of ordinary people, terminal diseases that are fatal are not a concern at all in the eyes of cultivators.
Toadstools and diseased cells simply cannot survive the erosion of spiritual power and the tempered organs, so practitioners do not have to worry about the negative effects of disease.
But even so, the only thing that practitioners have in common with ordinary people is that even if they are free from illness and disaster, their lifespan will be exhausted and they will face death.
This is a questionable thing.
What exactly is Shouyuan?
A kind of energy?
But from ancient times to the present, no one has been able to successfully detect the location of this energy.
The so-called longevity is approaching, which is probably a kind of induction in the dark, knowing that one's own end is approaching.
This is not the kind of embodied longevity in fantasy.
The real meaning of Shouyuan is the innate lifespan, which is also the lifespan a person should have. Compared with the so-called energy guessing, this is more like a concept, a concept that determines a person's lifespan.
Some cultivators can indeed make up for their longevity through some strange means, but it is only limited and temporary, and they cannot achieve eternal life in the true sense.
For cultivators, the normal situation should be that the organs remain active and the soul consciousness is not consumed, so that they can survive forever.
A cultivator's organs will not be exhausted under normal circumstances, especially those who are powerful cultivators.
Spiritual power is the purest power in the world, and it can also be absorbed and utilized by humans or other creatures to temper themselves.
With spiritual support, how could a cultivator's organs face failure?
As for soul consciousness... Unless it is attacked, it will not be consumed voluntarily.
Thinking about it this way, longevity is like a yoke that someone deliberately set for all things. Even if you turn the world upside down and become omnipotent, you still have to play it out when your life span is up.
Of course, the reason Jiang Qinian was thinking about this was not for eternal life, but to think about the reason why the rules were formulated in this way.
Suddenly, he felt as if a bright light flashed through his mind. This feeling made him get rid of his doubts in an instant. Then he opened his eyes wide and exclaimed to No. 4:
“Luck!!!”
Hearing this, the smile on No. 4's face became brighter.
"Congratulations on getting the answer right.
Why should the soul enter reincarnation?
Why do all things in the world have their lifespan dried up?
It’s because of luck.”
Speaking of this, No. 4 paused, and after Jiang Qinian finished thinking, he continued:
"Boss, where do you think luck comes from?"
"Nature is the way of heaven."
"Yes, then the luck is endless?"
"this………"
Jiang Qinian fell silent again, but he quickly gave the answer, although he himself was a little unsure about the answer.
"It should be... no?"
"No, boss, I can tell you with certainty that luck is not endless.
For ordinary people, what they should get and what they should not get in this life, how much good luck and how much bad luck they will have, are decided from the moment they are born.
Many things are destined, even luck.
From the beginning of the birth of this universe and this world, the resources at its disposal have been limited, but this is only the beginning.
The meaning of the existence of the Dao of Heaven is to manage the world and keep it on the right track without deviating from the track or collapsing.
But whether we are humans or monsters, we are all beings with consciousness and the ability to think independently, not just puppets that only follow orders.
The birth of consciousness is an unsolved mystery.
But through the analysis of many people, any life in this world was unconscious at the beginning.
For example, we don’t have memories from a few years ago. According to scientific analysis, this is because our memory is too weak and our memories cannot be stored for too long.
But if you look at it from the perspective of a practitioner, many people think that the reason why there is no memory is because there is no consciousness.
Only when people have consciousness can they have cognition of the surrounding environment. This cognition will be stored in our minds and is called memories.
But if a person has no consciousness, then he will not be able to recognize the things around him, and naturally he will not have memory.
Why do children imitate those around them?
Boss, have you ever thought about this issue?"
Hearing this, Jiang Qinian shook his head.
"I haven't thought about it, but from your analysis, I think the newborn babies at that time were not conscious and could not think. The newborn babies at that time were no different from puppets.
But unlike puppets, newborns do not have a mission that they must complete, nor do they have to do anything.
After seeing the things around you, your subconscious begins to imitate them instinctively, and the things you see will be reflected in the brain. Although memories cannot be formed, some so-called memory residues will be formed.
A single memory residue is nothing and will not have any impact on the newborn.
But over a long period of time, even the residue will form a considerable amount. Countless memory residues are fused together, carrying the breath of the person being imitated. Finally, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, and one's own consciousness is born."
"Yes, this kind of speculation is a theory based on the perspective of cultivation.
Consciousness will not be born until memory residues accumulate to a certain extent. This is also the age at which people often say they start to remember things.
The birth of consciousness may be within the foreknowledge of heaven, or it may be unexpected, but no matter what, the birth of consciousness at the beginning makes the world a better place.
But as time goes by, the negative effects of consciousness also follow.
Everyone has selfish motives.
Because consciousness belongs to this body, it will subconsciously look for things that are beneficial to itself.
When there is selfishness, there is fighting. The greed of living beings is endless, just like squirrels, they will store as much food as possible.
There is probably no so-called limit to this. How many things it stores depends on how big its nest is.
If its lair was as big as a human house, then I guess it wouldn't mind filling the entire room with food.
But resources are limited. This squirrel has taken away all the pine cones in the forest. What will the other squirrels eat?
They can't starve themselves to death, so the only thing they can do is to grab the squirrel's food.
Similarly, the squirrel that takes away all the pine cones will naturally not sit still and wait for death. It will protect its food as much as possible, and then the battle begins.
There may be a short-term peace after the battle, but who can guarantee that this so-called peace will not be the beginning of collapse?"
Jiang Qinian was completely immersed in No. 4's analysis. He only recovered from the immersion when he heard the other party's rhetorical question, and then took up the conversation and continued:
"So what you want to express is that the consciousness of living things will cause fights to a certain extent, and the results of the fights are likely to cause the world to begin to collapse.
In order to prevent this from happening, Tiandao must make himself stronger so that he can better manage the ever-evolving world?"
"Yes, that's it.
With the passage of time, Tiandao discovered that sticking to the old rules would not work. In this rapidly developing world, failure to make progress means regression, even for Tiandao.
Who can guarantee that without control, weapons that can kill Tiandao will appear in the future?
After all, you have also seen that the way of heaven is not invincible, it will make mistakes, and it will also encounter things that it cannot do anything about.
Everyone is saying that there were thousands of races in ancient times, but all races did not arise out of thin air. No one knows what the world was like before the early antiquity. Therefore, before the early antiquity, it was very likely that the law of heaven discovered the problem and dealt with it.
a stage.
When the ancient chapter opens, new rules have begun!"
"I probably understand.
The new rules formulated by Tiandao are taking advantage of people's consciousness.
After all, the theory of luck began in ancient times. Heaven allocates fixed luck to all living beings in the world, and all living beings will strive for things that are beneficial to themselves because of the birth of consciousness.
As the self continues to grow, the luck accompanying it also grows, so after human beings die and enter reincarnation, everything about themselves is deprived, including luck!
Just like cultivating gu, you allocate fixed things and then use them to create profits. The luck that was originally 1 has become 1.5, or even more!
There are so many creatures in this world, and all the increased luck will return to the hands of Heavenly Dao, and correspondingly, the strength of Heavenly Dao will also increase significantly!!"
After saying that, No. 4 nodded.
"Yes, I have to say that this Tiandao is really capable.
Come up with such a method, not only can you control the people of the world to a certain extent, but you can also use it to increase your own power and make the world more stable.
Although the way of heaven is not invincible, based on this fact, there are really not many people in the world who can compete with it."
"So... the existence of the amusement park is not just to allow these souls to enter reincarnation. Its main purpose is to collect luck and impose this luck on me!!"
"Yes, reincarnation is under your control, so the luck that has been deprived of you will naturally fall on you.
It is God who gives, but it is you who benefits.
Your identity is too special. Although there have been people similar to you in the endless years, they all died in the hands of heaven in the end.
The best way to contend with the way of heaven is to collect luck and make it your own.
Only in this way can we resist the attacks of heaven!!
After all, the power contained in luck is extremely powerful. If you keep collecting it like this, you may be able to be on an equal footing with Heaven one day in the future!!"
