Originally, Li Qi had some thoughts about the merger, but he hadn't had time to communicate with Xiaohong yet. Moreover, because the basic principle of eliminating all oppression in the cause of Datongism is in my heart, I also have many scruples, and I have not thought too deeply.

Now that Cheyenne, a senior who carries the soul fragments of tens of thousands of years old, speaks, the essence of the merger has changed from the oppression of mortals by the gods to the natural phenomenon of the cycle of life in the world of Fein, and the problem has changed from completely eliminating the merger to how to promote the good and eliminate the disadvantages.

The premise is that the prayer is indeed a link in the cycle of sublimation that Cheyenne calls it, a natural phenomenon......

At this time, the divine fire that wrapped the souls of the four kobolds gradually faded, they were complete souls, and they were very weak, so it was naturally much easier to melt.

Richie leaned over and carefully examined the four kobold prayers.

Although they are all short, although they are dogs' heads, they all stick out their tongues, and they have a sky.

But the dark and bright, unsquinting eyes, calm and resolute eyes......

The forelimbs are close to the hindlimbs and stand upright......

The shaggy, oily fur......

The ears that are either drooping or erect......

and the tail that swayed leisurely, even if it was watched by Richie, it didn't disrupt the rhythm in the slightest......

Of course, especially the faint dark golden light and dust escaping from their bodies, these four kobold prayers did not have a trace of the dirtiness and obscenity that kobolds should have, but instead looked sacred and solemn, and directly matched with Xiaohong's side did not lower the style at all, and it was simply an epic seller show in the earth world.

Li Qi retracted the hand that almost touched the head of a kobold, covered his gaffe by touching his chin, and said to Xiaohong, "You get their soul form out and take a look." ”

"Oooh......"

Xiaohong retracted her gaze, which was also a little straight, and waved her hand, and the golden light on the four kobolds was magnificent, and something spun out from their bodies.

If you didn't have any idea of the soul of the person who prayed before, you can understand it when you see these four things.

Of the four polyhedra, the most is about a dozen faces, and the least is actually a cube, that is, six faces.

"Oh...... Golden cubes", muttered the elf dragon Sajani.

Li Qi nodded: "It seems that it is not only recorded in the prayer log, but more importantly, their souls have indeed produced a very faint crimson divine power." Even if there are only a few likes and a dozen likes, they are related to the crimson divine power, so they can be caught. ”

The four polyhedron rotate slowly, giving the impression that they are breathing.

The little red finger dotted at the gold square, and six light curtains were projected on six sides, which were impressively first-person images, each emitting a different brilliance.

The kobold who is supposed to be the mother licks the owner of the perspective...... Pale golden.

Fighting with the other kobolds for rotting food, the strong grin bared out its terrible teeth and snarled into view...... Pale golden.

Gasping violently, he fled, and his companion in front was shot through the forehead by a crossbow arrow through the back of his head, and most of his vision was stained red by the splash of blood...... Pale golden.

The white and tender mouse man pinched it in its paws, and the squeaky screams of the mouse man and the tears dripping from the black eyes made the vision shake, and finally the vision still splashed a few wisps of blood...... Crystal-colored.

A vague tall figure, yes, tall because it's human, what is it talking about...... Crystal-colored.

The hair is combed smoothly, and the dignified kobold, who is neatly dressed, is talking with his paws to the perspective of the master's head...... Pale golden.

The light color of the divine power also corresponds, and the six scenes are the six moments when the kobold's soul touches the crimson faith. Although the magician used the modified Crimson Divine Book to teach the kobolds, some basic tenets still triggered the kobold's soul, and through the memory of his past life, he gained six praises of the crimson divine power, and it was also divided into two lines: pain and death.

"This can't be said to be harmful", Li Qi sighed: "This is to remove all the things in the soul of the kobold that have nothing to do with the crimson divine power, and what fills the soul is still the divine essentia, and it is not the original existence at all." ”

"You can't beat you to death with a stick......"

Xiaohong actually sang the opposite tune: "Divine essentia can't change this person into that person, just like me, I now have several doppelgangers, all of which are made of divine essentia, but no matter which one I change to, isn't it still me?" This shows that divine essentia is just a medium, it is not a substitute for the soul, but a substitute for the substance that carries the soul. ”

"Isn't it the brain that carries the soul?"

Li Qi said subconsciously, and then patted himself on the forehead: "Wrong, the soul is a substance here." ”

Then he frowned and said: "According to this, is the soul itself still a dual structure, and there are things that can exist apart from matter, such as pure spirit, so doesn't the world of Fein become idealistic again?"

"Since the soul is a substance, there must be a complex structure and mechanism to carry the power of faith and do all kinds of things", Xiaohong's thinking at this time is much smoother than Richie's, perhaps because she herself is very open-minded: "Do you think that the soul is a mass similar to a slime?"

She suddenly became gushing: "Take the earth world as an example, human consciousness and thinking are dependent on the brain, the brain has a very complex structure, and consciousness and thinking are a collection of various movements of the brain. Because of the lesions of various parts of the brain, various problems will arise in people's consciousness and thinking. ”

"If technology develops to a certain extent, replacing those diseased parts with corresponding materials, to the extreme, like the ship of Theseus, and eventually replacing the entire brain, would you say that that person is not the same person as before?"

"Strictly speaking, the cells of the human brain are constantly changing, and it has its own repair mechanism. From birth to old age, brain cells have been replaced many times, but we can't say that yesterday's me and today's me are not the same person, right?"

Li Qi coughed and said: "I understand what you mean, whether it is the brain or the soul, to determine whether a certain existence is the original one, in fact, it is not the specific substances that make up this existence, but the movement of these substances. The movement continues, that is, the original existence, the movement terminates or becomes another movement, and the previous existence ceases to exist. ”

Xiaohong nodded: "That's right, life or soul is a kind of movement in the final analysis." ”

"But the problem is," Richie pointed to the golden square, "This being has undergone three major changes, one is death, the body is separated from the soul, and the soul is drawn by the power of death and follows the general cycle of natural beings. The second time is when your god's heart intercepts the soul through the association of crimson divine power and pulls it into the kingdom of God. ”

By this time, his soul was still intact, but the Heart of the Gods threw his soul into the divine fire, filled it with divine essentia, and transformed it into an artificial soul that reflected only the crimson divine power, a change that had nothing to do with the ship of Theseus. ”

Xiaohong was stunned for a moment, and sighed helplessly: "That's true, there is no way to get over this hurdle." ”

The two of them were talking, and the little angels next to them, Goblin Dragon and Xiao Qi, stared at their round eyes and looked ignorant.

Relatively speaking, the goblin dragon with the broadest knowledge and the most mature mind, and has also received the education of a traverser, can be regarded as belonging to the level of "knowing that he doesn't understand, and knowing where he doesn't understand".

She fanned her colorful wings and leaned over to Cheyenne: "What are Her Majesty the Goddess and the Chief Cardinal talking about? There are some terms that I seem to have heard, but when we put them together, I don't understand." ”

Cheyenne smiled faintly: "They are discussing, after turning mortals into mergers, they are still not the original ones. ”

The fairy dragon's wings flapped faster: "What is there to discuss about this issue?"

"Because in those worlds that are closer to the source, life and self are more precious," Cheyenne's eyes were a little confused: "Only in a world that cherishes life and self so much can such a splendid belief as Datongism be born." ”

"But like that Tyr of yours, isn't it a disgusting thing to forcibly extend life and self against the laws of nature?"

The fairy dragon said, "If a mortal becomes a merger, or the same person before, and can live forever like the gods, then he is still enslaved by the gods? ”

"I remember that the mortals of Beta City are keen to develop various applications of slimes, slimes are the residue produced by the power cycle of the world of Finn in the main plane, it is mixed with a lot of mortal soul dissolved things, some mutated slimes still have mortal soul residues, it seems that Beta City still uses slimes as ingredients......"

Speaking of this, Li Qi and Xiaohong felt tightness in their chests at the same time, hearing you say this, it is really like this, and there is a physiological reaction when I think about it.

"After all, the merger retains its original image, and the soul also comes from the original soul, which should be similar to a corpse in the concept of mortals, how can we use it with a clear conscience?"

"After all, human beings are a collection of civilizations, not a purely utilitarian collection, and everything cannot be measured entirely according to the criterion of usefulness and uselessness." ”

"So it depends on whether it's exploitation or development", the fairy dragon flew towards Li Qi, circled around him, and pulled out a brilliant light dust: "Didn't you just say that it is possible for the merger to become a wise spirit? Then try it, if you can, isn't it the rebirth of the merger?"

Li Qi sighed: "I have this idea, but I just want to see the possibilities, and I haven't thought about large-scale implementation, so I always feel that I ...... This is against nature. ”

"This is the world of Fein, laws can be created by mortals!

The goblin dragon said, "Look at me, am I not such a creature?"

It came to Li Qi's eyes, and the little dragon's face showed a humanized smile: "I am an elven lock, created by the blood of the elven dragon spirit, the Tudor Emperor and the elven goddess. But I have a soul, I am alive...... Well, I'm a living being, right?"

The fairy dragon itself is the carrier of the power of the elves' secret locks, and it cannot generate the power of faith, but in essence, it still has a soul like an angel like Akika Thrush, and Li Qi really doesn't treat it as a thing.

"The one that carries my soul is an elven dragon spirit from an unknown number of thousands of years ago, a very famous fairy dragon queen. I can still vaguely find some memories of the queen in my soul, but I am not her. ”

"I see Tudor the Great as my father, and I have two mothers, one is the elven goddess and the other is the fairy dragon queen, and in a sense, I am also the new birth of the queen. ”

"If the merger can really give birth to a wise spirit, I think the relationship between them should be the same as the relationship between the queen and me, and there will be no entanglement over whether it is the original existence, and there is no need to be entangled, right?"

Li Qi and Xiaohong nodded subconsciously, it is true. Thinking about it seriously, the relationship between Alishan, the goddess of the river Styx, and Alishan, the mortal, is closer to this change than that of the fairy dragon, and she is completely self-born.

Well, in this process, Li Qi still played the role of "mirror", and it was reasonable for her to call him Dad.

Who made the world of Finn so rich in living forms?

Another point that the fairy dragon said was also agreed by the two of them, if the merger could really give birth to new beings like the fairy dragon and Alishan, it was the nature of the world of Fein.

Xiaohong is still a little obsessed, after all, she is the one who harvests the soul and makes the prayer: "But it always feels like moving the corpse of a comrade-in-arms as a cover during the war......"

"If necessary, the comrades-in-arms will not blame, and they will be happy to protect the comrades", Cheyenne spoke: "The most important thing is that the lady will definitely not take the initiative to turn her comrades into corpses in order to find cover, right?"

Xiaohong squinted: "If it's you, maybe it's true." ”

Cheyenne coughed and smiled, "In short, if our comrades know the truth about the merger and understand that ascending to the kingdom of God means the death of the self, even if they transform into Zhiling, they will no longer be themselves." At that time, they were still voluntarily ascending to the kingdom of God, and they could really be transformed into wise spirits, and I saw no reason to refuse such a thing. ”

Li Qi nodded: "If the merger can really become a wise spirit......"

He looked at the four human martyrs, and said expectantly and apprehensively: "Then let's see if there is such a possibility." ”
