Chapter 51 The Essence of the Soul, Spiritual Dimension, and Super Brotherhood
"The entire human experience is a collection of countless nerve impulse signals. The flash of diamonds, the roar of thunder and lightning, the fragrance of roses, all of these are constructed from nerve impulse signals.
Human beings have conceived the entire world, which can be completely explained as the collection of all nerve impulse signals received by humans since birth.
Traditionally, humans will recognize the experiential representation of the nervous system as the real external world.
However, this is not the only possible explanation."
Mu Cang sat quietly in the dark palace, his eyes flashing with brilliance and unfathomable depth.
"Brain in a vat, holographic universe, box world, these conjectures that may be weird, mysterious, or shocking can always easily shatter the so-called real world composed of empirical representations.
Therefore, the concept of experience is always neutral.
Correctness cannot be proven forever, and error cannot be proven forever.
Therefore, people who strictly believe in sensory evidence will always be skeptical deep in their consciousness about things like gods, Bigfoot, UFOs, etc. that can never be proven or falsified. There is no other reason than that no one can provide irrefutable sensory evidence about the above.
But the brain-in-a-vat problem reverses this skepticism.
Based on feelings?
So how can you be sure that you are not a brain in a vat?
In fact it can’t!
The question "whether I am a brain in a vat" can never be refuted empirically.
In philosophical terms, this is a question of transcendent nature."
Mu Cang slowly asked himself: "So, what is my true essence that exists in this world and removes all appearances?"
Through the vast sea of knowledge in his mind, he quickly reached conclusions.
"If we look at the material level of actual existence, life is a movement pattern of matter, rather than a specific stack of matter. Human beings are a phenomenon, not a cluster of cells at a certain moment."
A long time passed.
Mu Cang, whose mind was boiling and roaring with endless information every second, looked out the window at the vast night.
The boundless night was as dark as ink, but it couldn't extinguish the intellectual light in his eyes.
Mu Cang said slowly:
"My essence is the comprehensive unity of all my memories, emotional modules, behavioral patterns, thinking logic, self-awareness, and even primitive instincts named [Mu Cang].
And the appearance of this unity in reality is the soul!"
End of thinking.
Mu Cang's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Even if I really exist in a brain in a vat, a holographic universe, or a box world that can never be verified, my will must remain free."
"If you want to be free, you must continue to become stronger! There will be no end!"
After thinking about it, Mu Cang recalled the few precious bodies in the research institute that had the ability to teleport over short distances.
In the ability test experiment, every time these bodies use their teleportation ability, they will emit extremely subtle energy fluctuations that are similar to spiritual power but far more illusory.
Before the "Sun Moon Cave Divine Method" was created, Mu Cang could not fully analyze the nature of that kind of fluctuation, and had no way to 'see' its true face. He could only guess that it might be pure spiritual power.
But after successfully creating a method and being able to perfectly separate the use of mental power and spiritual power, Mu Cang truly understood the true nature of that power.
Indeed, that is the power of the mind.
But according to normal thinking, teleportation should be more deeply connected with space.
But why in the teleportation ability detection experiment, the fluctuation magnitude of space is far weaker than the power of the mind?
Mu Cang actually found a vague answer to this question in the original work.
Just not sure.
In the original work of "Dragon Fist", it is actually vaguely mentioned.
There seems to be a [spiritual dimension] on the 'outside' of the reality of the Blue Star universe, similar to the Warhammer 40K subspace, purely constructed from the spirit and psychic energy of living beings.
It may be called [spiritual dimension].
It’s just that the original record is rather vague.
Moreover, Mu Cang’s soul attributes are now so powerful.
The spirit and soul have advanced far beyond normal human beings.
But he is still unaware of the so-called [spiritual dimension].
Not even a tiny bit.
It's like it doesn't exist at all.
Therefore, although Mu Cang is mostly sure that the so-called teleportation should be deeply connected with the [Spiritual Dimension].
However, after all, the evidence chain is not complete enough.
"Could it be that entering there does not require strong spiritual power, but some kind of rare soul or spiritual 'trait'?"
Mu Cang thought deeply.
……
On the outskirts of Shendu, in an abandoned factory.
"After completing this vote, I will quit the Black Head Organization!"
"One hundred million, damn it! Even if 20% of the fee is taken away, that's still 80 million!"
A dark and thin young man was lying on his back on a shabby sofa, with an excited look on his face.
The yellow-faced middle-aged man opposite was operating a notebook and holding the flue in his mouth:
"Guard, have you found out the target's bodyguard team? Is the risk high?"
Wang Biao said hey: "It's not worth spending that money to buy information. I would definitely buy it before, but now, after experiencing the recovery of spiritual energy..."
As he spoke, he raised his hand, and strong winds suddenly burst out within a radius of 100 meters.
Dozens or hundreds of sharp and solid wind blades suddenly appeared between his fingers.
"...My super power level has increased at least a hundred times. Even if the King Kong is at the pinnacle of martial arts and is indestructible, he is definitely no match for me now!"
"You."
The yellow-faced middle-aged man sighed and turned around, "Always so impulsive and reckless, just like the last time I was in that underground bar, just because of a jealous woman who came out to sell, you have to kill all the people there.
Is it done?!"
Wang Biao snorted coldly: "Just kill him. In my eyes, human life is not much better than that of pigs and dogs."
The yellow-faced middle-aged man shook his head and muttered: "It won't be good for us if this matter gets too big."
"Oh, that's all."
The middle-aged man sighed and took a puff of cigarette: "However, I know that Ninth Prince. He is a pure loser. As long as we deal with the surrounding bodyguards, we should be able to kill him easily."
As he spoke, he used his notebook to bring up Mu Cang's photo.
"That's right."
Wang Biao looked up at the screen, bared his teeth and said bitterly: "I hate these nobles the most, especially the royal family.
Huh, you still want to be the prince, I will send you back to the west tomorrow!"
"Master Zhuo."
He looked at the middle-aged man and said, "With this money, we can find more compatriots and make the brotherhood bigger and stronger!"
"Yeah."
Gongsun Zhuo took a puff of his cigarette, "The resurgence of spiritual energy has greatly increased your and my abilities. This is a revelation, indicating that a new human race will surely rise!"
His fingers tapped the keyboard quickly and said:
"Actually, assassinating Mu Cang can also bring other hidden benefits."
Wang Biao was confused: "How?"
Gongsun Zhuo blew out a smoke ring: "For so many years, we have been captured, tortured, and studied by those old humans who have no talent."
"In addition to the fact that our superpowers were too weak before, it also has a lot to do with the small number of new humans."
……
This is how people are, they always put themselves into certain groups for certain reasons.
The same is true for superpowers.
In the past years, the number of superpowers was rare, and their ability levels were also weak.
Therefore, for a long time, superpowers have always been a marginalized role in human society.
Except for a very small number of superpowers who come from high-ranking families, they will receive full protection and resources after they reveal their extraordinary talents.
Other superpowers who come from low backgrounds will probably have a very rough life.
Freaks, monsters, freaks...
Most superpowers whose appearance is severely alienated due to their ability awakening have similar names.
In order to survive,
They transformed into beggars, circus performers, and street performers, living in the cracks and corners of Blue Star society.
Those with stronger abilities will attract some greedy and malicious eyes.
They have no ability to resist the power behind these eyes.
There are also some seniors who are too old but quite powerful.
In order to extend my life, I studied all the myths and legends and found that they were all useless lies.
Then he turned his dangerous and cruel gaze to the superpower.
Under the fear of death, these old people will be extremely fanatical in hunting down superpower groups.
Just looking for the faintest possible code that can crack the shackles of death.
Therefore, in that era when spiritual energy had not yet recovered, countless superpowers were detained, experimented, studied, and dissected.
One by one, they died on the operating table.
A small number of escapees moved closer to each other, relying on the weak abilities of their compatriots to escape pursuit and hunting.
Under this situation, the superpowers who tended to protect themselves gradually formed small organizations under the leadership of their more powerful compatriots, scattered all over the world, hidden in all walks of life.
The Super Brotherhood is one of them.
Gongsun Zhuo and Wang Biao are the core members of the Brotherhood.
