Chapter 255 Dimension Ascension Scale, Shepherding All Living Beings
"Idealism? Fantasy realm?"
Mu Cang looked incomprehensible, sitting quietly in the vast starry space, his eyes slightly closed and asked, "Could it be that the so-called end of the spiritual world...is a world dominated by pure idealism?"
Is this world idealistic or materialistic?
Based on Mu Cang’s long-term observations and research.
He believes that the real material universe in which he lives is an existence that tends to be dialectical materialism.
Although he did not devote any energy to study it carefully, Mu Cang naturally summarized some of his own understanding in the process of walking and understanding the universe.
That is to say, idealism and materialism are not completely contradictory.
Starting from himself, combined with what he saw, heard, and thought about countless sentient beings in a civilized world, he summarized three types of idealistic cognition and three types of materialistic cognition.
First, vulgar idealistic cognition:
‘I’ exist in the universe, ‘I’ die and the universe dies.
Second, vulgar materialistic cognition:
The material universe is the only objective reality, and ‘I’ is only an insignificant part of it. ‘I’ denies the particularity of consciousness and opposes the existence of free will.
Third, subjective idealistic cognition:
Various concepts in the material world all depend on the limits of ‘my’ senses and brain.
Fourth, mechanical materialist cognition:
There are certain regularities in the material world itself, and the universe relies on these regularities to operate mechanically. Although the regularities can be summarized by "I" through logical induction, "I" cannot change the laws of the universe through my subjective cognition.
Fifth, objective idealistic cognition:
The brain structure that ‘I’ use to understand the physical world and the brain structure that ‘I’ use to understand myself are the same set of structures.
Therefore, the internal and external aspects of 'I' are highly isomorphic at the logical level, and both the external and internal aspects of 'I' can be coordinated with the same set of logic.
‘I’’s understanding of the material world is based on a number of underlying assumptions and concepts, and this level of concepts is shaped and determined by the process of ‘I’ communicating and interacting with the outside world.
Sixth, dialectical materialist cognition:
‘My’ understanding of the material world is based on a number of underlying assumptions and concepts, and this level of concepts is determined by ‘my’ external environment and experiences.
At the same time, ‘I’ can use various symbols, rules, and tools to simultaneously symbolize various natural or man-made phenomena that ‘I’ recognize in the process of practice.
'I' constantly change 'my' understanding of the material world through practice. In this process, 'my' hypothetical world view of the outside world often undergoes subversive changes. Practice is not just 'my' standard for testing truth.
It is also the background for the birth of truth.
Mu Cang is between the fifth cognition and the sixth cognition.
"Then this so-called idealistic realm..."
He looked at the huge black hole in the starry sky in front of him and thought to himself, "What principles does it operate by?"
In an instant, Mu Cang was located in the [Wisdom Universe] that was upgraded from the ocean of knowledge in the depths of the four-dimensional soul. Billions of 'knowledge' stars immediately began to twinkle non-stop, and billions of clusters of inspirational brilliance continued to splash out from it.
Since time traveling, Mu Cang has experienced rapid evolution. Not only his body, but also his soul has undergone various explosive changes. His thinking mode has also been constantly leaping and evolving.
From the earliest ones that relied solely on brain power with no skills, to the [Thinking Palace] that integrates all computing power to maximize the potential of thinking, to the more complex, profound and extremely powerful [Ocean of Knowledge].
Mu Cang's thinking mode is undergoing changes every moment that mortals cannot understand.
The ocean of knowledge is very powerful, especially in deducing various cutting-edge technical problems and calculating various rules of the universe.
Coupled with the delusion-breaking consciousness and the increasingly powerful chaos calculation, his road to martial arts is almost smooth under the combined influence of them.
But in the final analysis, although the ocean of knowledge has touched the ceiling of the wisdom of all things, it still cannot completely get rid of Mu Cang's original cognitive limitations of a three-dimensional creature at its 'roots'.
However, after condensing the 'delusion of love' and completely entering the 'superhuman' spiritual realm, Mu Cang's way of thinking underwent drastic changes that were visible to the naked eye, and began to rapidly evolve in a grander and more majestic direction.
It wasn't until the moment after he ascended to the fourth-dimensional life that the almost flatland-like 'sea of knowledge' in Mu Cangyuan Shen finally jumped into 'space', experienced the 'big explosion of knowledge', expanded and expanded into a giant...
[Intelligent Universe] like a real three-dimensional universe.
In it, every system of knowledge will turn into a huge star, and shine out billions of lights of inspiration all the time.
The inspiration that shoots and flies like starlight will also intersect and collide with each other among the stars. Two in one life and three in two will burst out more brilliant light of inspiration, flying across the vast unknown, singing and crashing into another star.
The majestic stars, thus once again bursting out more light of inspiration.
In this way, infinite inspiration is constantly boiling, flickering, intertwining and colliding in the vast intelligent universe.
This further promotes Mu Cang's understanding of the vast universe; his grasp of the breadth, strength, depth, etc. of his own power; his control of all matter, energy, information, time and space, dimensions, etc. in the outer starry sky, every minute and every day.
Every second continues to improve.
Buzz——
But perhaps the clues were too sparse, and the information exploded from Mycenir's memory was too messy and fragmented. Therefore, after deducing for a long time, Mu Cang was unable to get a clear answer in the end, and only got a vague guess.
:
[The fantasy realm may be an idealistic world where individual cognition covers the outside world and the rules of the material universe are completely out of place]
[The fantasy realm and the real world are completely separated. Occasionally, a fleeting rift may appear between the two worlds. Perhaps it is through the rift that the Witch King is able to escape into the real world.]
[If life in the real universe wants to enter the fantasy realm, it may need to find a rift between the two realms and enter through some unknown 'entry method']

"It's enough trouble, that's all."
Mu Cang shook his head slightly, "I thought I could see an evolutionary system that is different from the real universe, but I still have to work hard and wait for the complete disintegration of Mycenir's memory body."
"It is expected that there must be a so-called 'method to enter the world' in that memory. Otherwise, if he is so weak, how can he enter the real universe."
After thinking about it, Mu Cang slightly raised his hand and put the ancient god puppet and Kaidron, who were waiting quietly beside him, into the three-dimensional unit cell of the Foreign Minister, and then stepped out.
Wow!
Following Mu Cang's walking movement, the trillions of kilometers of space and time around him became extremely distorted.
The countless splendid stars scattered in the boundless starry sky in all directions also suddenly appeared in the lake, turning into billions of light filaments and flickering shadows, swirling around him in a dazzling way.
Whoosh!
The steps settled.
The starry sky suddenly returned to normal.
At this time, Mu Cang actually appeared on the surface of a deserted earth rock star.
Look up.
The original red giant star has disappeared, replaced by an orange main sequence star.
He had suddenly left the star system just now.
With just one random step, Mu Cang traveled hundreds of billions of kilometers to a brand new star system.
This is not warp speed navigation, nor is it a real number passage.
It is the basic ability of a high-dimensional life, an extremely deep interference in the deep structure of the space-time dimension.
By analogy, it's more like a super high-end version that's a step away from the world.
"In order to break through the fourth dimension, all my resources have been exhausted."
Mu Cang slowly sat cross-legged on the ground.
Suddenly, endless green trees, as well as butterflies, flowers and birds suddenly grew on the entire surface of the planet.
Amidst the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, Mu Cang raised his head and said leisurely:
"I need more knowledge, more cognitive perspectives, more sparks of wisdom."
According to the statistics and calculations of the intelligent universe, every time Mu Cang ascends to a dimension, his strength and life essence will be explosively improved.
This kind of 'explosion' will even be much more intense and profound than the attribute explosion experienced by the Martial Saint Realm when he pushed open the Tianmen again and again.
Similarly, if you want to upgrade the dimension again, the difficulty will also increase explosively.
If the entire process of evolution from four dimensions to five dimensions is divided into ten thousand scales.
Then adding up all the knowledge possessed by the trillions of living beings in the four civilizations of Blue Star Civilization, Jingyuan City-State, Mercury Empire, and Demon Brain Clan from top to bottom, may not be able to fill even one scale.
The word ‘knowledge’ here does not simply refer to the evolutionary systems and unique civilian and military science and technology possessed by each ethnic group.
To be honest, unless it is an unknown technology from a god-level civilization that does not exist somewhere, such as probability interference technology, the so-called core technologies that are valued by ordinary interstellar civilizations are now completely useless to Mu Cang.
For a true four-dimensional life that has mastered the power of great unity, it is not much different from the dirty garbage piled on the street corner.
The 'knowledge' Mu Cang needs more refers to the sum of the results of intelligent life's exploration and summary of the material world and the spiritual world.
He believes that true knowledge is not good or bad.
There are only differences in direction and cognitive perspective.
That is to say, Tao is in all things in the universe and in all living beings in the world of mortals.
The truth of the universe exists not only in the grand and great, but also in the small and humble.
And just having enough knowledge is not enough.
Wisdom is also needed.
It requires wisdom sufficient to support and operate huge amounts of knowledge.
The word wisdom here does not just refer to intelligence.
If intelligence is one of the important abilities of organisms to adapt to and transform the external environment, it can be regarded as an important component of 'survivability'.
So wisdom is something beyond these conventional concepts.
Speaking of concepts.
In fact, all beings that can be called intelligent life possess a special ability.
A powerful ability that is different from all non-intelligent life.
This ability is to observe everything in the universe and define concepts.
This concept of infinite billions has no exact entity in the material world of the universe. It only appears in this vast world due to the definition of intelligent life.
Concepts can never be counted, summarized, or described using rational numbers.
They have no mass and no density.
They can be either ‘yes’ or ‘nothing’.
They can exist or not exist.
Although the description is very metaphysical, the concept is very simple in nature.
Concepts are actually illusions collectively accepted by hundreds of millions of sentient beings.
Essentially, it is a story that everyone wants to believe.
Realistic concepts such as banks, currency, and salary, as well as intangible concepts such as honor, justice, and sin, are all defined by intelligent life and are widely accepted.
This ability to tell stories was also the magic weapon that enabled modern Homo sapiens to defeat the Neanderthals with larger brains and stronger bodies, and eventually rule the Blue Star and develop modern industrial society.
Of course, invention, creation and civilization development are also concepts.
If we explore it from the perspective and perception of intelligent life.
Then whatever is discovered, invented, and created is meaningful and widely accepted by the collective.
Every intelligent life will inevitably use itself as the main body to perceive, recognize and think about the world.
Therefore, it can be considered that intelligent life forms have discovered many physical laws and invented and manufactured many technological products based on them.
In the end, many civilized societies born on the basis of storytelling were created.
However, if we do not explore and understand from a subjective perspective centered on intelligent life, then there will be no inventions and creations, and no development of civilization.
After all, everyone is just transporting materials.
This understanding is also correct.
There is never absolute right or wrong in this universe.
Wrong can be right, and right can also be wrong.
Even the concepts of 'right', 'wrong' and 'absolute' are defined by intelligent life.
Things have no a priori absolute meaning.
The so-called meaning is just a concept given by intelligent creatures.
Concepts and meanings, pursuits and dreams.
So ethereal, so empty.
But these 'emptiness' and 'emptiness' have pushed intelligent life from a weak ant to go through hardships and dangers, and finally evolve into a galactic overlord that collapses stars and destroys worlds.
It promoted a low-level civilization that even struggled to build chemical rockets, and evolved into a god-level civilization that could subvert the galaxy.
What Mu Cang needs is the root behind all this - the spark of wisdom that bursts out from the depths of the souls of all living beings.
Every bundle of root spirituality possessed by all sentient beings is a variable that cannot be copied.
Only by harvesting these variables can Mu Cang gradually possess infinite diversity, infinite richness, infinite driving force, and infinite cognitive forms.
This promoted Mu Cang to advance from the fourth dimension to the fifth dimension, and finally to the tenth dimension.
"The number of my subjects is too small to promote my evolution."
Mu Cang slowly stood up from the green grassy ground, his eyes penetrated the thick atmosphere of the planet, and looked at the dense sea of stars in the distance, as if he was looking at the interstellar civilizations full of vitality and intellectual brilliance.
