Chapter 80: The Definition of Life

Under the gray-black sky, a scarlet demon with a fierce expression glared at everything in this world.

The dark aura that lingered around it for a long time formed a natural barrier, completely isolating the aura inside it.

Five brightly colored pillars of light burst out abruptly from the top of his skull, and like the pillars of optimus, they were nailed to this narrow firmament, endless coercion, wantonly crushing every inch of space.

All the clouds within a radius of thousands of miles were almost instantly repelled by it, and the endless mystical inscription chains slowly derived from the void, slowly inscribed towards the five pillars of heavenly light.

"What is the transparent crystal in the middle of the pillar of light?"

Inside the Blood Eagle, Qin Xiaotian stared at the situation on the battlefield outside the Saiwai, and every slight change on the front line was within the scanning and monitoring range of the seventh.

"That is a semi-mature godhead, once it is recognized by the rules of heaven and earth, it will completely transform into a complete godhead!"

Although there was a distance of thousands of miles, Chen Sixuan's attention was still on Qin Xiaotian's body, and as soon as he asked here, the sound had already been transmitted from there.

"Those incomparably mysterious, incomparably mysterious chains that spread throughout the world are the rules of heaven and earth?"

Staring closely at the heavenly dome of the Dark Five Elements Continent, the dreamlike rudimentary form of chains that reflected the sky, Qin Xiaotian was dumbfounded for a while.

Even though the No. 7 key has the ability to scan the heavens and all worlds, it is impossible to identify the target at this time, and this rule chain is completely beyond the scanning authority of the seventh.

"That's right, as long as it is a living being, you can see this vision, but these can't be called 'law chains', what you see now is just the prototype of the embodiment of the law, according to each person's ideology, the state of the law in everyone's eyes is also different, as if what I see now is not a chain, but a jade lotus."

The tone was full of firmness, Chen Sixuan explained simply, then paused, and said: "Observe the embodiment of these laws carefully, this kind of opportunity is rare, if you can understand one or two, it will also be helpful for you to be promoted in the future." ”

Nodding as if he didn't understand, Qin Xiaotian's eyes were staring like copper bells, but in addition to the colorful chains in his eyes, he couldn't detect the slightest clue at all, let alone enlightenment.

"Well, I see, but you just let each other advance?"

He smacked his lips with a look of annoyance, the rules of heaven and earth were still too advanced for Qin Xiaotian now, and with his understanding, he couldn't even touch the threshold.

"If you don't let it go, there's no way, in front of the rules of heaven and earth, we can't intervene at all, however, the other party is not from the Five Elements Continent, although it has absorbed so much Five Elements luck, but it is not so easy to get the recognition of the rules!"

Word by word popped out of her mouth like a jumping bean, Chen Sixuan gritted her teeth and stared at the five pillars of light in the sky, but at this moment, she was in a state where she had more than enough heart and not enough strength, and she could only watch.

"I see!"

Nodding secretly, looking at the blank holographic projection, Qin Xiaotian frowned slightly.

Since this face rule can be seen with the naked eye, there is no reason why the monitoring probe on the Blood Eagle can't collect image data in this regard.

"Could it be that this thing can't be surveyed by non-living organisms?"

Muttering dissatisfiedly, he switched all the hidden probes outside the Blood Eagle, and still did not collect relevant image data, Qin Xiaotian suddenly gave up this unrealistic idea in his heart.

"What is the criterion for determining 'living beings' and 'non-living organisms'?"

Sitting and lying on the central control command chair physically and mentally, looking at the continuously condensed chains, Qin Xiaotian's heart suddenly had a full of thoughts.

If we use federal science alone, the definition of life can be divided into two types, one is 'life in the broad sense' and the other is 'life in the narrow sense'.

'Life in the broad sense' refers to 'a function or ability peculiar to a thing that distinguishes it from other things.' ’

'Life in the narrow sense' refers to 'the ability of an object to make new living matter by copying or relying on information templates.' ’

In the narrow sense of life, the so-called information templates are all kinds of nucleic acids commonly found in genetics, and the life substances manufactured refer to some substances such as proteins, nucleic acids, sugars and lipids.

In the narrow sense of life, the most striking representative is human beings themselves.

And life in a broad sense is also easy to understand, just like: if a volcano no longer erupts, it becomes an extinct volcano, or that a volcano has no life, and the lake no longer flows, it becomes stagnant water, and this pool of water has no life.

Therefore, in the scientific community, the definition of whether a thing has life or not is a very vague concept, and there is no clear boundary until now.

"What the hell is it? Is it the genetic body close to the human body, or the essence of the soul, the 'cosmic entropy', or the inexplicable existence limit that symbolizes wisdom? ”

The more he thought about it, the more chaotic he became, Qin Xiaotian at this moment, his mind was in a mess, and he couldn't find the slightest breakthrough point at all.

Since leaving the Shengyuan Continent, all the things Qin Xiaotian has seen have completely subverted his worldview.

Baoshan is in front, but he has no way to start, and he can't pick out anything of value from it.

Looking at the endless dry bones on the edge of the battlefield outside the Saiwai, thinking of the previous necromantic legion, Qin Xiaotian suddenly felt a burst of indignation in his heart, and said in a non-condescending tone: "Those few rotten bones are slightly assembled, and they can resurrect and regain life under the protection of undead magic, what else can't be had...

What the? ”

At the mention of this stubble, Qin Xiaotian's whole body suddenly shook, and he jumped up from the seat in an instant, his hands twitched uncontrollably, and his dark eyes suddenly burst out with a flash of essence, and said, "How did I forget this stubble?" ”

The skeleton was originally lifeless, but under the summoning of the undead magic, it regathered the 'soul flame' and then became a necromantic skeleton, isn't this also a kind of life!

Soul flame is not a complete soul, just a fragment of a soul, and because of this, the necromantic skeleton is abnormally mechanical, and can only act as a puppet.

"The soul is the standard for judging life!"

Clapped his hands suddenly, and after figuring out the key to it, Qin Xiaotian was excited for a while, pacing back and forth in the central control command room.

"But how can you make the Blood Eagle have the characteristic of a spirit?"

In the dead distant sky, looking at the increasingly dense law inscriptions, before he had time to get excited, Qin Xiaotian fell into a predicament again.

The necromantic skeleton itself, a skeleton alone or a soul flame itself, cannot be called a living body, but when the two are combined, it is a living body.

If the Blood Eagle as a whole is regarded as a skeleton, now as long as you find a suitable soul or soul fragment, then the entire Blood Eagle will have life.

But the key is, where to find this soul fragment, and how to make it fit, this is the most difficult part.
