54. Immortality

Civilization has had a tendency to destroy since its inception.

You can say that birth, old age, sickness and death are the supreme laws of the universe, so the generation, development, strengthening, and eventual demise of civilization are also the process of civilization.

The world that Su Jing saw in his eyes was like this.

Choose a master timeline.

Select the last homing as the timeline.

In the last return, Su Jing saw the appearance of Yanhuang through the long river of time and space, but after seeing that period of time, Su Jing returned to the Xuanhuang world three times, and these three returns created three different civilizations, namely the Zerg, information, and mechanical civilizations, and the last return to the Yuan has long been the civilization that is seen now.

The last time he returned to the Yuan, Su Jing did not impose his own ideas and let civilization do its own thing. As the essence of heaven and earth, there are some things between heaven and earth that cannot be mastered by oneself. Within this disturbance there are other disturbances that have caused the earth to redefine life and redefine matter.

That's right. Everything comes from definitions. If life on earth is called life, life is divided into animals, plants, microorganisms, and everything else is called non-life. This is the definition of humanity itself. However, in this definition, there are also some things that cannot be defined, such as an inorganic substance, something called Tai Sui that is connected by microorganisms, which everyone thinks is life, but it is impossible to find a classification of life. This way of definition is limited to human cognition, and it cannot be defined for the sub-life of some law beings, some quasi-life, and even superlife such as gods and demons.

In the last time, because Su Jing gave too much freedom, there were different disturbances under Su Jin's disturbance, so a unified starry sky was produced, which was an extension of the Yanhuang world. In this starry sky, there is no size, no life, all kinds of life derived from the mother star of Yan Huang, and the super civilization generated by the three returns are mixed in one time, creating the universe is the largest and most complex world between heaven and earth.

The stars in the sky come from cognition, which is different from the laws and stars in the cultivation world. They have always existed and have never existed, and when they are not discovered, they may be just a void disturbance, and when they are discovered, they are a star of existence.

In the last return, it is clear that civilization is not only human civilization and dinosaur civilization, but also many other civilizations. After the emergence of these civilizations, after no more than 100,000 years, they can ascend to the void, and the materials in the region can no longer satisfy them, and they need more materials in the starry sky to complete the racial transcendence, so they have left their home planet and come to the starry sky.

This is the first star migration.

These civilizations entered the void and were affected by the void disturbances, reaching different star fields. It can be said that every creature in the void has a different trajectory, and the unavoidable impulses and dark matter will disturb space and time, but the people who are obviously together suddenly disappear and are assigned to different time and space. Obviously, the people who set off together, some people a thousand years ago, and some people in the future, are quite chaotic in the same dimension, so when traveling through the universe, everyone needs to make a time correction.

It was the last civilization that returned to the Yuan that created the starry sky civilization, and it can be said that all starry sky civilizations came from the Yanhuang world, that is, the earth. There is a difference between the earth and the Yanhuang world, after all, after countless civilizations, the earth is no longer what it was originally.

In addition to these civilizations that returned to the Yuan for the last time, more civilizations were derived from the civilizations derived from the first three Returns. Su Jing can create different dimensions between heaven and earth, and give civilization in each dimension, so can other super forces.

Civilizations of the same origin will move closer to each other and eventually merge together.

Human beings come from the law civilization, so human beings can continue to get close to the top of the heavenly dome through cultivating the law.

After the last return, the passage between heaven and earth was completely closed. The mortal world of the Yanhuang world can no longer appear in the existence of cultivation aura, because all the aura has been absorbed by heaven and earth, and after the cultivation world is independent, one by one they began to pursue the so-called eternity, not only in the living spirit world, but also in other worlds, and in the end, the powerful monk condensed all the spiritual power in the world, that is, the law destroyed the cultivation world and the three worlds.

The power of the law between heaven and earth is conserved.

If one person occupies too much of the power of the law, then there will be more people who will no longer be able to access the power of the law. After the appearance of the Sky Supermarket in the Xuanhuang World, it brought a large number of monks, and in its place, more existences that could not be cultivated appeared, and those existences made heaven and earth make choices and gave birth to the mortal world.

Then if a stronger existence appears in the cultivation world, and the vitality of heaven and earth is consumed, the cultivation world will become a world that cannot be cultivated. The vast and boundless world will shrink, and then it will become the Kunlun secret realm that Su Jing sees. That's what happened in 50 million years, because people wanted to be stronger.

Those who carried the Yuan Qi between heaven and earth entered the Metaverse, making the Yuan Qi of the cultivation world less and less, and eventually becoming a barren place.

There is no restriction, so everyone will eventually evoke the mark hidden in the life element that belongs to the world truth level, that is, continue to grow, become stronger, and finally reach the point of Taoism, turning itself into nothingness.

In these processes, human beings define beauty and goodness, and through these things they constrain the unlimited development of civilization, and there is a spiritual civilization as a link above the material civilization, which is the status quo of the world.

Su Jing didn't expect these things.

People are different, in addition to having life attributes, there are also wisdom attributes

and, above all, having moral attributes.

There is no virtue in the Tao, but human beings have imposed a blockade on the Tao, and that is virtue.

"If you were to lift your dimension of life and let you go back, would you be willing?"

Su Jing looked at Xiao Yu.

To remove the dimension of life, that is, to eliminate cultivation, only the essential attributes of life, and become a mortal.

"I do. ”

"That's good. ”

A purple light slid down, and Xiao Yu's realm immediately fell from the peak of the Dao realm to the Xuan realm, and finally to the spirit realm.

"I've been able to live for a long time, and I'm satisfied. ”

Return to Hidden Dragon Villa.

Su Jing looked at the huge Hidden Dragon Villa, waved his hand, and placed the Hidden Dragon Villa in a dimensional space that the earth could not see, and the people living in the Hidden Dragon Villa could see everything on the earth, but the earth could not peep into the Hidden Dragon Villa.

"Why are you doing that?"

"We are not normal beings in the first place, so don't interfere in this world. ”

The earth is already well developed, and material civilization has reached its peak.

However, behind the material civilization, there is also a strong spiritual civilization to support. Many people know that gods and Buddhas are not delusional, and they can achieve it as long as they work hard, but what everyone chooses is not to think about becoming a god and becoming a Buddha, but to be an ordinary person. The wisdom of mortals who have not opened the door to cultivation can live for two hundred years, this is the limit. But the vast majority of earthlings will not live that long, and after more than a hundred years, they will choose a good day to die.

is very important.

Su returned to Star Technology, and Su Jing also appeared in the dome of Star Technology. Covering an area of thousands of acres and up to 10,000 meters, the main building of Star Technology is the most conspicuous symbol of Star Technology on the earth.

With current technology, there is no need to build such a tall building, and it is a better choice to build a space station directly, but everyone chooses such a landmark building to show the demeanor of the earth's civilization, so it will be built.

"You should know who you are, you should know that there is no point in what you do. So what are you doing tirelessly doing these things?" All things related to Su Jing are existences that transcend heaven and earth, and there is no such concept as mortal heart at all, but the path taken by Su is completely deviated.

Xiao Yu is already middle-aged, but she stands by Su's side in the form of a little daughter. If Xiao Yu hadn't come back, Su wouldn't have come back.

From this point of view, Sue is becoming more and more like a person.

"Father, you should be able to see the world now, so why does your father exist?" Su looked at Su Jing and smiled slightly.

Oh, yes!

Su Jing couldn't help but remember.

Since everything is a certainty, and the white-clothed Su Jing has long expected this scene, what is the point of his existence in this state now?

It seems that there is something important that I have overlooked.

The white-clothed Su Jing is more rational than himself, he should not turn himself into an incarnation of mortal dust and revisit the experience of this world.

"Perhaps, father can take a look at it. Su shook his head, and then looked at his father: "Recently, the wormhole of the Boya Star Domain has not been opened again, but the destroyed part of the Boya Star Domain has now reborn the planet, the galaxy, and it will develop into a new civilization in the near future." ”

"If I want to, I can give them a civilization right now, beyond what you see. ”

"Does that make sense?" Sue asked rhetorically.

"Does it make sense for you to do that?"

"There is no meaning that should be given. It is true that all the ends of heaven and earth cannot be set foot on, but in the process of moving from earth to heaven, we can add meaning to them. That's what intelligent beings are all about. ”

Su Jing was silent when he heard this.

Silently lowered his dimension and regarded himself as an ordinary person.

Suddenly, Su Jing felt that he had encountered a catastrophe. The frustration after seeing the truth of the world like Su Jing in white is like himself. As Su Jing's son, Su should also know the truth of this heaven and earth, but Su didn't feel depressed at all, but tried to participate in various things, why is this?

A small town on the southwestern border.

Human beings will leave the interior to live in the seaside where land and water meet, allowing non-intelligent life to multiply on its own in the sea, forests, grasslands and deserts, and maintain the ecological diversity between heaven and earth. But there are always some people who go back to Xi'an to live in the mainland, and these places are mostly border towns, and the people living in them are all mortals.

The arrival of Su Jing made this small town of only a few thousand people curious. Anyway, no one has been to this village for more than a few decades. At a time when everyone is enjoying the benefits of scientific and technological progress, this one has been around for a long time and chooses the simplest way of life, cultivating and reading, and acquiring knowledge in the most primitive way.

There was a big building in the village, and such a building had never been seen in Su Jing's last visit.

It's all books.

Now that all knowledge is digitized, there are still people who keep traditional paper books, which is really remarkable.

"Sir, most of these books are old books from the past, passed down from generation to generation. ”

There are still words on it, and to Su Jing's surprise, many of the books in it are hand-copied versions.

Seeing Su Jing pick up a hand-copied version of the book, village chief Zhang Hua touched his beard and laughed: "Since the realization of a fully information-based society, purely handmade things have been

It's not worth caring about. Some people who have monastic skills can draw something exactly like a real image on paper. It would be a lie to say that their paintings are not perfect, but they are so perfect that we don't feel like they are suitable. ”

Everything related to handicrafts is dusty in the face of technology. The development of science and technology to a certain point can really go against the sky. Through the information left over from time and space, the reward is to see a transparent view, although it is said that this is a restoration of history, but it turns all the good legends in history into nothing. When the moon becomes a production base, no one will say that there is a moon palace and Chang'e on the moon. Previously, a group of nostalgic old people applied to Congress to build a huge moon palace on the moon and plant a laurel tree that will never die

Even Su Jing, who is beyond the dimension, feels that the benefits brought by the development of science and technology to society are self-evident, but there are too many things that have been abandoned.

What is the historical value?

The "Orchid Pavilion Preface" has long been lost, and the calligraphy works of the same era will be admired, and then there are so many authentic works obtained from the restoration of time and space, and the mystery and preciousness of history have completely disappeared at once.

The golden silk clothes cannot be restored by current scientific and technological means, and they are regarded as a world miracle for a while. However, after scientific and technological restoration, after the silk becomes thinner, the process can surpass the golden thread clothing.

In fact, technology is a kind of destruction to civilization and history.

Once upon a time, history was often indesecrated. Because once some historical sites are gone, it becomes impossible to re-analyze history, but now it is different, all history, every place, even if it is accurate to one square centimeter, you can see what happened in that square centimeter for thousands of years.

History is too clear, and the original mystery has long been lost. Tradition is no longer valuable, but has become a symbol of backwardness.

Historical relics, which were not destroyed even in the event of war, have now become dispensable.

A lot of things are missing!

These people are said to be the descendants of a group of painters and calligraphers, and they stayed here in order to stay away from the erosion of science and technology and retain the charm of traditional culture.

Su Jing picked up a brush, copied a piece of abstract, and handed it to Zhang Hua.

"Village Chief Zhang, what do you think of my handwriting?"

Zhang Hua picked up the paper that had not yet dried and nodded: "It's a good writing, but there's always something missing." ”

"Oh, tell me, what's missing?"

"Human!"

Human?

What is this. Su Jing smiled. In fact, there is nothing imperfect about what I write, but there can be no perfection in terms of craftsmanship.

The so-called art is always looking for infinite possibilities to reach a higher level. It's an industry that has no end.

Technology will have an end because it can be quantified.

There is also an end to cultivation because it can be graded. There is no end to the idealistic thing like art.

All existence and nothingness are in fact idealistic things.

So what is the difference between something that really exists and something that is idealistic?

Su Jing couldn't figure it out for a while.

Being placed in such a world, you must have your own ideas. But what great things have the people of this age, or rather, the people of this world, discovered?

Star Technology.

"From today, I will step down as the chairman of Star Technology and give all the Star Technology estimates belonging to the Su family, the Yun family, and the Xiao family to the country free of charge. ”

The handover formalities have been carried out all the time. In fact, Star Technology has never been Su's own, it has been Huaxia from the beginning. It is clear that the shares are not state-owned, but everyone knows the real situation. But Su and Zhang Jingnan before have not expressed their position, and it is only now that Su announced it at the board meeting.

Star Tech is too big.

There are more than 10 billion earth civilizations, and more than 10 billion alien civilizations and star science and technology are involved. Without star technology, the earth would not be able to reach its current technology. Within this group, there are more than 30 million index employees, and other branches have more than 100 million. One percent of the population works for this company, which indirectly affects every household in the world. It's just too big.

Sue is not for money, she has always been researching and developing for the whole planet. Up to now, the earth civilization is already the best among the first-level civilizations, the powerful super civilization can't cross the dimensional barrier, the low-level civilization doesn't dare to use force against the region, Su's mission in Star Technology has been completed, so Su is ready to leave.

As for the social formation, it is definitely not the result of the political needs of any one individual. For a long time, Su and Star Technology have not been involved in people's livelihood, education and the like. For Su, how the world should develop should be the will of all the people on the earth as a whole, rather than the Datong world created at will.

"I'm not going to get involved in anything with Star Technology anymore. But I may apply for a position at Star Technology in a new capacity. ”

The applause lasted for a long time.

Compared with Su Jing, Su's status in Star Technology is more transcendent, no matter how many years the earth has developed, things about Su are worth writing about.

When Su left the company, all the members of the company walked out of the office one after another, such as the people at the scene gave way to Su, and even the people in the distance said goodbye through the void projection channel.

"Sue, why are you doing this?"

"For the future! for eternity!"
