"In the endless battle between creation and destruction, which side will win the final victory?"
"What are the laws of the universe?"
“Is it the law or something within the law that changes us?”
…
Gordos and Hexes were discussing far apart.
Xu Zhichu just listened at first, more because he wanted to solve his own situation.
Later, he listened attentively and said a few words from time to time.
Gaudos stands at a very high altitude, and the problems he thinks about are also far away.
Regardless of his status as the Lich King, he is more like a philosophical thinker.
Thinking about the origin and annihilation of the universe, and also exploring the various laws of the universe.
He has something in common with Somra and others.
When Somra was imprisoned in the demon bottle, he kept looking up at the long river of time, thinking about the birth and death of the world.
Sandro is thinking about life.
Where do people come from and where do they go?
What exactly do people want to do in their lives?
When the two imprisoned bosses encountered Hexis, these contents were inevitably mentioned.
At this time, Hexis was talking eloquently, and Gaudos nodded repeatedly.
He was clearly pleased with the exchange.
"The mind is infinite and the soul is infinite. Rules can affect our body and soul, but they cannot imprison our soul."
"Just like seeds bursting out of the ground and flowers blooming summer after summer, as long as you study hard, you will usher in the transformation of your soul."
"But something seems to be missing in our souls?"
Gaudos talked eloquently.
He suffered severe distortion of rules in his early years. He was almost like a walking zombie, unable to speak, and could only rely on the instinct of his body to survive.
Not a word was spoken during those years.
He is even in the stage of drinking blood.
He was chased by wild beasts and chased and driven away by farmers.
As his soul awakened and grew little by little, Godos finally came to his senses.
But when his body reached the stage of balance between life and death, he vaguely felt that he was missing something.
"We seem to be missing a layer of shell," Hexis said hesitantly.
"That's right."
Gaudos thought for a while before he began to respond.
"Our souls have no shell, and without the ability of a chick to break out of its shell, it cannot be reborn."
"Our souls seem to be trapped in this big world."
"Is there something wrong with our cultivation, or is it that the Lord God of Elements has restricted us so that no one in this world can transcend us?"
…
The words of Gaudos and Hexis triggered a lot of thoughts in Xu Zhi.
He once saw a soul as powerful as Tanu in the sea of consciousness.
I also saw the soul of Sandro who pioneered the spiritual cultivation method.
There is a Hexis soul.
There is also the soul of the mother tree Gula.
But there is no exception.
Regardless of whether they are strong or weak, these souls have no body and are no different from cultivators who have never opened the second bridge between heaven and earth.
When Gaudos raised a question, Hexis confirmed the answer, which made Xu Zhi think more and more.
"Could it be that the transformation to become a great master is to accumulate enough strength to open this protective shell?"
After witnessing the transformation of Wu Ya Ye Fulin with his own eyes, and combined with the discussion between Gaudos and Hexis, Xu Zhi vaguely noticed something.
This is the top level master in the mainland, and his realm is far higher than ordinary people.
And their extremely long lifespan gives them more time to study and think.
"If there is such a shell, how can we break it?" Xu Zhi asked the two of them.
"Pure enough spiritual power can open this shell, and strong enough capital can make you grow taller after breaking out of the shell," Gaudos replied.
"But strong enough capital also means that more time and energy are needed to temper it until you have the capital to break the shell." Hexis also said: "The trade-offs are extremely difficult to balance, and it is easy to go too far if you are not careful."
Xu Zhi nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
It's easy for you to go overboard.
Practicing magic greatly promotes the growth of spiritual power, and the immortals have a long time to survive, making this growth even higher.
But people in the other world don't have such troubles.
People in the real world race against time to practice cultivation.
The fifty-year-old grandmaster threshold has almost screened out 99.999% of the people.
After the Grand Master, the lifespan of great cultivators is also limited.
If there is no special long life, living to two hundred years old is basically the end of the Grand Master.
Their normal life span is only twice as long as that of ordinary people.
It is difficult to accumulate strong enough capital in this short period of time, but it can allow a small number of them to have the capital to break out of their shells.
While gaining, the immortals also lost something.
For people in two different worlds, time is fair between gains and losses.
"If you become a god, is there any chance of getting rid of this distortion of the rules?" Hexis asked.
Life is long and he has no interest in becoming a god.
But he was a little sorry for what happened to Xu Zhi.
He, who has always pursued perfect art, should not have given the unfinished work to Xu Zhi for use.
If the auxiliary backdoor of Gambler's Card cheating was removed, Xu Zhi might not be so miserable.
All roads lead to death, he must find some hope for Xu Zhi.
For example: Become a god.
If becoming a god can balance this distortion, Hexis feels that this is somewhat of a hope.
This greenskin lives with hope, and he feels a little more comfortable.
"When life transforms, the twisted rules will naturally disappear. Just becoming a false god has no meaning."
Gaudos looked at his twisted body.
If he becomes a false god, he will need to shed this body and be unable to survive in the big world.
All distortions of the body and soul are naturally resolved.
But false gods have no meaning.
He is not a person who likes to dwell in empty space.
After becoming false gods, the false gods will have their own divine kingdom in the void.
In the Kingdom of God, there is only the God's Throne that was promoted in the first place. There are no other objects and no other lives in the Kingdom of God.
If they are not powerful enough, the false gods will not be able to send even a trace of information back to the big world.
In a sense, there is no difference between low-level false gods and dead ones.
That's not the path he wants.
"It would be great if I could become a god and get rid of this distortion."
Hexis glanced at Xu Zhi sympathetically, but saw that there was no trace of frustration on the other person's face.
Hexis was thinking about becoming a god, while Xu Zhi was thinking about transformation.
All it takes is transformation, and any distorting influence on his soul will be eliminated.
That is the realm of a great master.
False gods can develop freely in a space, while grand masters can control and utilize a space that is not too big.
The two worlds have different cultivation systems, but in the end they embarked on paths that are different in form but similar in spirit.
Both have advantages and disadvantages.
For example, the longevity of false gods is a tenfold increase on the basis of immortality, further taking advantage of longevity.
Although the life-extending effect of the Grand Master is poor, he can actually survive in the big world.
The ultimate level of this kind of cultivation is incomparable to the true god mentioned by Deken, and it is far inferior to the demigod achieved by Tanu.
But this is the group evolution of life.
There are many people who can repeatedly enter the realm of the Grand Master.
It is not an extremely accidental example like a demigod, nor is it an extreme case like a true god.
"Immortal, false god, demigod, true god."
"Grandmaster."
Xu Zhi kept weighing the differences between them, and also thought about the differences in the training system.
"Is there something more than the Grand Master?"
"Or is there some special Grand Master?"
"How can we combine the advantages of the two cultivation systems of magic and internal energy?"
With the continuous conversation, his thinking is like a network, constantly extending.
