Chapter 247: Roots, I'm not interested

What is the "root" or "root vortex"?

It is called by many names:

“”

"Akasha Records".

Where the universe began.

The cause of everything.

All laws, all events, all causes and effects begin and end.

In terms of existence, this is the "ultimate" knowledge.

The ultimate goal that magicians dream of, and it is also the place that humans cannot go to in their lifetime.

If there is "omniscience and omnipotence" in this world, it must be at the "root".

If there is a transcendent existence in this world, it must be at the "root".

Magicians are so defined, they have been pursuing since the time of the gods.

Of course, this can't be wrong, but the magicians who have gone crazy have forgotten. Since the "roots" are of such a high standard, can humans afford it?

Orange said, "It's not infinite.

For in order to be "infinite", it is necessary to define "finite". So without finiteness, infinity would not exist.

However, if we can't even define the concepts of "finite" and "infinite", what burden does human beings have, and why should they be "omniscient and omnipotent"?

Since the "Vortex of Roots" is the starting point of the universe, how can human beings, who are just a speck of dust in the universe, fully understand and accept it?

Human beings, after all, have limits. Do you really think you're a warrior of light from the M78 nebula? Even if you're a warrior of light, you're not really omniscient.

Therefore, human beings cannot really go to the "root" in a physical sense, and if they do go, they will become a certain way of existence that human beings cannot understand, and the evidence of their existence in the world will be erased. Although there are a few cases of so-called "roots" and then returning, those people do not really enter the "root vortex" in the strict sense, but only connect with them in some way, and get a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg. Even so, it came at a great price.

Whether it's the two ceremonies or Tono Shiki, they have both died once, and when they wake up, they need to face a shattered world forever.

Because of Shinji's intervention, the "Book of Pseudo-Gods" Xuanwu Satsuki, who didn't come to Kanbuzi City, has mastered the common language that can talk to the world and is comparable to magic, but he has lost the cognition of unifying information and matters.

This shows how dangerous and terrible the "Root Vortex" is.

Now, Shinji has also stepped into the road to this place, and he understands all the dangers, and all the horrors are not alarmist.

It's like you're dealing with a huge modern database and your computer is just a pathetic old-fashioned Pentium 486 with not enough hard drives, not enough memory, not enough graphics cards, not enough of everything.

The most troublesome thing is that you can't stop the data from entering, and in the end you can only burn down, just like those predecessors who desperately stepped into the "root vortex".

Luckily, Shinji's experience is extraordinary.

Stepping into the realm of magic made his brain and soul stronger.

Years of dealing with the will of longing have allowed him to accumulate the ability to multi-thread processing and block noise.

The process of sharing the blood-sucking impulse with Elquit gave him the experience of coping with an overdose of information.

Therefore, he did not die in the first information explosion. After the period of confusion after being bombed, the instinct of self-preservation began to kick in. The body and soul will interact with each other, and the large-scale information invasion will suppress the soul, and the body can resist and save the soul in turn.

The first step is to close all the senses and minimize the amount of information input.

The second step is internal processing.

Immediate archiving and use that can be used to alleviate the current situation.

Whether the others are useful or not, can you understand it, as long as the things that occupy the storage space are all deleted, and if they can't be deleted, they will be converted into heat (energy) and radiated out.

Anyway, this is the outer part of the world, not the present world, so you can destroy it no matter how you want. If you can't even bear this, then don't call it the "root vortex", just call it glass slag.

To put it simply, the super management software that comes with the computer is activated.

Firewall blocking, self-killing, and forceful deletion to save your stuck electric (big) brain.

Well, I really don't have the intention to learn the "Digital Famous Sneaker Brand-1" software that is actually a hooligan in the name of computer protection, just because this is the most appropriate description.

Gradually, Shinji regained some consciousness and somewhat recognized his current situation.

He remembered again the parting words of the master and Gilgamesh.

The closer you are to success, the more careful you must be, and the more impossible things are, the more likely they are to happen. Don't be fooled by appearances, don't be swayed by excessive temptations, and don't forget what matters most to you.

The first verse of the first sentence plus the second sentence refers to Roa's comeback, and the temptation to be too big refers to the "roots" of the magician's ultimate ideal, and the most important thing is obvious—his family, friends, and lovers in this world.

The sentence "don't forget the original intention" is even more obvious. What is the fundamental motivation for you to become stronger? In addition to protecting yourself, isn't it for the people who are important to you?

Skaha once said in the introductory teaching of warriors: Man is the master of power, not a slave of power, and losing oneself because of the pursuit of power is sacrificing one's roots.

It's so dangerous, I almost lost myself.

In an instant, the blessing is to the soul.

Concentrate all your strength and will, and restrain all the thoughts that are entangled in your body and the confrontation with the invading information—

I am who I am!

Don't pursue the roots, don't seek the power that you can't control!

That's all!

- and cut it off!

Without the constant influx of information, it is only a matter of time before the superfluous information is discarded and the useful information is retained.

The chaotic soul finally returns to order, and Shinji also regains control of himself.

When I opened my eyes again, it was no longer a familiar scene inside the Great Grail, but a constantly changing void.

He could feel the existence of concepts, laws, space, time, phases, worlds, planets, nothingness, life, death, and so on, as if he could reach out and hold them in his hands with just one more step.

But Shinji didn't do that, he just stopped and left it all behind, there was only one thing he wanted - a way to go home and return to this world.

There are important people waiting for him, enemies to destroy, things to do.

"Vortex of the roots" - I'm not interested, goodbye, no, it's better never to see again!

The moment he realized his true heart, the surrounding void receded, replaced by an apocalyptic scene.

The dimly lit sandy earth, the occasional glimpse of ruins and ruins, and the figures scattered around, cloaked in the color of wind and sand.

PS: Human beings can't bear the information of the root cause for the adulterer's own views and speculations, the mushroom aspect is originally very suspenseful, and the adulterer is just interpreting it from his own perspective, as long as this thing can be explained.
