2169 Transcendence
Just as the time of this battlefield goes back to the time of the birth of the planet, as on this planet, since that distant time, there has been such an island-like existence, which is not composed of carbon, and it is by no means a different kind of existence of those creatures that were created after the Big Bang. The Three Immortals Island is such a behemoth, alive before the ignorance and enlightenment, no matter how the times change, it has only changed its own form of existence, and now, the unbelievable appearance, which once only appeared in distant times, has finally been formed again. And the existence of this behemoth itself is also changing the surrounding environment to what it was back then.
The mysterious power entered the interior of the island from the surrounding environment, penetrated through the spherical core, radiated in the coffin-like containment chamber, and converged on the core of the core, the dissolving prosthesis, and then, the prosthetic body agitated like a heart, visible to the naked eye, and the entire internal space was beating, leaking, and miscellaneous, as if time and space were being divided with every heartbeat. The entire outline of the Three Immortals Island is blurred, and the outline of the edge of the island is blurring.
Where to go, it is the dividing point between the Three Immortals Island and the strange and harsh environment, which has become less clear. In this battlefield area, all the parts of the environment that are abnormal are like being bitten by an invisible mouth, and the whole is swallowed into the stomach of a monster - it is precisely because it enters the stomach of a monster that it becomes so weird and sinister.
This kind of mutation is enough to make people have all kinds of associations, and it has a strong rejection. The monstrous boy Gao Chuan, who couldn't be observed by any means, is revealing his out-of-place silhouette in a corner. It was a strange writhing human form, a series of waving tentacles, a gray gravel swept up by the wind, and a form that could not be called a "human" at all from the convergence of all these seemingly abnormal impressions - absolutely no one could associate this form with the original young Takakawa, who was a human in all its details, and in this abnormal outline, it was only an insignificant embellishment, as if a very small non-independent part had been cut off from an incomparably complex pattern. It's just that the shape of the pattern is like a "human shape".
This terrible monster has been swallowed into the stomach by an even more terrifying and huge monster, if the prosthetic body Gao Chuan is still awake, I am afraid I have to agree with what the young Gao Chuan once said: people have limits, and only a monster worthy of the name can fight against a monster worthy of the name.
On the surface, the battle between the two monsters is just "one monster swallowing the other monster into the stomach", but if anyone can witness this scene with their own eyes, they will definitely feel a sense of "untruthful" entanglement, and only feel that there is something deeper and more essential hidden in the depths. No, perhaps by the time he felt this, his own personality and reason had already collapsed. Extremely chaotic information is diverging, and all observable phenomena – whatever they may be, whether they are ancient or strange or strange - do not have a logical inductive pattern. However, is the law too complicated, or is there really no law, only chaos, coincidence, and chance? On the spot, there is no one who can answer this question. Because, people can't survive here, and on this planet, after life has developed into a familiar structure, it can't survive in such an environment.
The Three Immortals Island, which is constantly blurring from the borders, spreads the anomalous scenery and becomes a part of itself. and the monster boy Gao Chuan who is in the Three Immortals Island, just with the illusion of "staying in place", as if he is simply dancing with tentacles. They seem to be in a stalemate, doing nothing, but in reality, their confrontation is taking place from a level that is unobservable to humans, and its intensity seems to be inferior to the great impact on the things around them when they appear, but that is only the most intense side, which cannot be observed from the first visible phenomenon.
The battle between these two monsters cannot be described in terms of the collapse of the heavens and the earth, and the details of this fight cannot be described in any words that have appeared in human civilization so far. The richness of the imagination is so small and fragile compared to the truth that is being interpreted here. If the prosthetic Gao Chuan was still awake, he would have to sigh that when he lifted the dominance of the prosthesis, he was able to have such a terrible chemical reaction with the Three Immortals Island - compared to all the past battles on the Three Immortal Islands, what he showed now was not only the difference in quantity, but also what he expected, it was just as simple as improving the operational efficiency of the Three Immortals Island.
Inside the Three Immortals Island, the firewood was burning, but it was much slower than the Yiti Takagawa had estimated, as if after the fierce battles, the rest was still enough to support the Three Immortals Island for millions, tens of millions, or even billions of years. Moreover, the mystery it embodies is by no means comparable to any of the variants used by the Three Immortals Island in the past.
The transformative power of the Three Immortals Island is simply a drop in the ocean compared to the power displayed by its alienation. In the same way, the strength that the young Takakawa embodied in the past is also not worth mentioning compared to the strength he shows in his current form of monster. This increase in mystery and power is beyond people's imagination, and it is also a mystery that modern science cannot explain, exaggerated to the point that it is impossible to think that this is just an illusion.
The existence of the two seems to tell that their very existence is a miracle, a mystery, an unknown that has existed since the distant past.
Even if the prosthetic body Gao Chuan witnessed all this, he couldn't imagine what kind of impact the abnormalities of the Three Immortals Island and the monster boy Gao Chuan would have on the reality of the hospital in the apocalyptic illusion. However, one thing is certain, this influence must exist, and it will certainly play a decisive role in the development of certain things.
The light and sound have disappeared in the battle between the two, and the characteristic scenery of the Domination area has also disappeared, and the form of the battlefield was originally like a huge "cavity", with a top and a bottom, and now the lines and planes that outline the outline of the cavity are also disappearing. The ruins of the Ruling Bureau were originally a large and stable data hedge space, no one knows how long it has existed, its form is solid, its internal structure is so strong that it has withstood the test of every fierce battle in the past, however, now this stable and robust spatial structure is also beginning to crumble.
If the prosthetic Takagawa is still awake and uses the power of the Three Immortals Island to observe the outside world, even if the Three Immortals Island is filtered by its own security mechanism, the remaining information, both in terms of quality and its weirdness, will be enough to collapse his personality from the existing structure when he performs the act of "reading".
However, the personality of "Takakawa" is constantly collapsing and regenerating, and from this point of view, the metabolism between the new "Takakawa" and the old "Takakawa" will reach an unimaginable number of times in an instant.
If Takakawa was not only awake at this time, but also thinking, what would he be thinking, or what could he think? No one knew, and the prosthetic Takagawa himself couldn't answer, because, at this moment, he had given up thinking.
Abandoning thinking, abandoning subjective existence, abandoning self-speculative consciousness, the personality itself is hidden in the quietest and deepest place, sleeping like death - but he still exists, in this monster-like island of the Three Immortals, he has already become a part of the island of the Three Immortals, and his death is not death, but a form that cannot be interpreted with any logical thought.
After death, the matter of oneself will be naturally or artificially decomposed, atoms and molecules will be reconstituted, turning into "ashes", turning into "nutrients", into various chemical substances, and it seems that they will still be preserved on this planet in other forms, but perhaps, from a more microscopic level, such as from the quantum and wave level, some part of it will enter the universe from some hidden channels, riding on the ordinary invisible medium, accompanied by light and radiation, and become part of the unobservable currents in the universe. Therefore, the death of man is not death in the true sense, but only a formal decomposition, a transformation of form, into a greater fragment, scattered in the universe, waiting for the passage of time, waiting for the time to come, at the right moment, these things that have become different, scattered in different distant corners, will be reunited and become "one person" again in front of others.
For people, this is rebirth, reincarnation.
When the prosthetic Takakawa re-realized his existence, it was as if he had a dream in which he was scattered and converged, circling in different forms in a world that was both familiar and unfamiliar, incomparably vast, witnessing the decay of stars, witnessing the collision of galaxies, going deep into the soil, turning into a seed, growing quietly, and also sleeping in a way that seemed to never wake up on a planet that was always a dust storm. I used to know plants and animals, and I have never seen them, but I am also familiar with other non-carbon-based existences. I used to be a stone, I used to be light, I was the radiation that was constantly diverging towards the end of the universe, it was also the ever-changing entropy, it was the dark matter that was not visible, and it was also the matter that was commonly visible. But either way, it's just a part of yourself. I am the smallest part of this universe, and the most basic part.
"Death" in human cognition has never been the end of what human beings think of themselves, nor is it the end of self-consciousness. Whether it is ideology or material form, it itself is constantly moving and changing, and "death" is by no means the largest in this movement and change.
The so-called "man" is only a part of the innumerable changes in nature of the long movement and change of the self, and it is an extremely small part.
A thought couldn't help but arise in the thinking of the prosthetic body Takakawa: it turns out that "people" are just a part of "monsters", and it turns out that the life cycle of people is just an extremely short moment in the whole cycle of change.
People's perception of "self" is narrow, and this is not accidental, but inevitable. When man's cognition of the "self" is expanded beyond transcendence, the form and nature of man will inevitably break down, which is not accidental, but inevitable. However, only recognizing this from the perspective of "thought" will not cause the fusion from human to non-human, because human mental activity itself will bind human beings to "human beings", and only after experiencing the change of the morphological nature of the level of "death" will human spiritual activities produce a kind of essential change along with the change of their own physical properties.
Takakawa felt as if he understood what a "virus" was, but he couldn't find the words in human language that could accurately describe its truth. He also felt that he understood why patients with doomsday syndrome would have such psychopathic changes, such diffuse and uncontrollable thinking, why they would have pathological impulses and tendencies, and why they would become like LCL - all these changes are just simulated "death". In order to achieve the change of form and nature of the "death" level from another perspective, so as to liberate its spirit, and fundamentally, break the limitations of "human" and make people "non-human".
However, in this process, the "self" will inevitably be shattered, its own existence will be disintegrated due to changes in form and nature, and the fragments of existence will inevitably be dispersed into the boundless universe, turning into light, into radiation, and into other visible or invisible matter. If we are unable to integrate our own existence and self-knowledge from a larger perspective from this fragmented mode of existence, then it is like falling into a deep sleep, and we can only passively wait for the passage of time, and when the right time comes, the fragments of existence will reunite and form a new whole.
This is a natural process, but the whole process is simulated and accelerated by the "virus" in a special way, and it is difficult to say that the "virus" did it deliberately, and it is impossible to admit that there is no deliberateness in it. It is as if it is such a mechanism in itself, and it is not a unique mechanism in the vast desert universe, nor is it a mechanism that is fixed in a certain place and appears special. It is not an entity, it is scattered in every corner of a macrocosm whose scope cannot be determined, and its outline may only be found when the field of view is all over this macrocosm, from a bird's-eye view.
Humans just happened to be unlucky enough to come across this mechanism. However, this kind of "unlucky" statement is just an illusion of subjective consciousness when you are a human being.
For human beings, the apocalypse caused by the "virus" is an unwarranted disaster, but this is nothing more than an illusion of human subjective consciousness.
Everything just runs naturally. Man himself, the manifestation of human consciousness and physical nature, the birth and end of man, are only an inconspicuous part of this great macrocosm of operation.
When people begin to recognize and think, their cognition and thinking behavior itself is a part of the macroscopic regularity, and it is also an extremely small part.
