Ninety-one, the path of merit

It took a full 200 billion crystals of life energy to upgrade the Elementary Chaos Tower from the primary to the intermediate level, a hundred times ah. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info this life energy really spends Yang Siqi's flesh pain.

However, after upgrading, there are also benefits, at least, the life energy generated by the intermediate Chaos Tower has increased from a primary 100 crystals per day to 100,000 crystals per day, a full 1,000 times increase. If it is according to this ratio, it will take twenty trillion crystals of life energy to upgrade to the high-level Chaos Tower Terror, and the life energy that can be obtained every day will also reach 100 million crystals, which is very impressive.

Soon after the Chaos Tower was upgraded to the intermediate level, Yang Siqi found that his speed of comprehension had really improved a little. He understood that this might indeed be the merit given to him by the Spirit Tree Star, which made him comprehend the Spirit Pattern faster. Although it doesn't speed up much, it's good to go a little faster. This also proves that merit does exist.

"Shi'er, I think I'll have to work very, very hard to build the Chaos Tower in the future." Yang Siqi said to his wife half-seriously and half-jokingly.

"It's expensive." After knowing what merit is and what it does, of course Ma Mengshi will not object.

Throughout the ages, many powerful people have wanted to make merit, and many monks have wanted to have merit. Merit, once there is too much, it is equivalent to being labeled as immortal, and it is absolutely beneficial and harmless to be listed in the Heavenly Dao. You don't see, in the novel, those who have a lot of merit, even the saints dare not move lightly.

"Siqi, why do you say that you have merit when you build the Chaos Tower?" Ma Mengshi thought it was strange, it was too easy to gain merit.

"I don't know the specifics, but I have thought about it, and as far as I have learned, I can only try to understand it with the laws of heat." Yang Siqi said with a smile.

Using the laws of heat to understand the reasons for merit? Ma Mengshi knows what laws of heat, Newton's laws and the like, isn't this a law of science? Can it be explained by the laws of science to explain such a mysterious thing as merit? In this regard, Ma Mengshi was deeply skeptical.

"Everyone likes to be born and hates to die, and since the way of heaven has a spirit, then the way of heaven is no exception. Everything in the universe, in the end, dies the same, and the entire universe is no exception, although this time will be very long. Unless it is really possible to reach the eternal realm as the Divine Insect Emperor guessed, otherwise, the universe will also return to chaos one day. Yang Siqi said solemnly.

Regarding Yang Siqi's point of view, Ma Mengshi agreed. Although, those legendary cosmic-level powerhouses are all coaxed by cowhides, but when the universe is destroyed, I am afraid that the cosmic-level powerhouses will not be able to escape the catastrophe either. Isn't it even the saint mentioned in the novel? Although their primordial gods are in the void and can live forever, when the universe is destroyed, they will also die. Unless it is beyond the universe, no one will be fortunate enough to destroy the universe.

"The Heavenly Dao, although it is supreme in the universe, is also born from the universe, the universe exists and the Heavenly Dao exists, and the universe is destroyed and the Heavenly Dao breathes. Therefore, the Heavenly Dao also hopes that the universe can be eternal, regardless of whether the Heavenly Dao has its own consciousness or not. If Heavenly Dao had its own consciousness, Heavenly Dao would never want to die. The Heavenly Dao does not have a consciousness of its own, so it itself also hopes to be immortal. So, from the perspective of life, no life wants to die. ”

"The Heavenly Way bestows merit is a reward for those who benefit the universe. So, what is good for the universe? Saving people's lives and protecting one side is of course beneficial to Heaven and the universe, but this is not fundamental, the real fundamental lies in how to extend the life of the universe. Therefore, if someone can extend the life of the universe, it is equivalent to extending the life span of the Heavenly Dao, and how can the Heavenly Dao not give merits? ”

"What does this have to do with what you call the laws of heat?" Ma Mengshi agreed with Yang Siqi's statement, the way of heaven is supreme, equal to the emperor, the so-called merit is not to save the driver, you have saved the emperor's life (although it is only to prolong life, not to completely help it eternal), how can you not make meritorious service? How can you not be rewarded? But what does this have to do with the laws of heat?

"The universe is vast, with hundreds of billions of stars and other planets, as well as countless dark matter and the like, and countless lives live, but in the end, the root of everything lies in energy. The universe has to maintain such a huge system, and it consumes a huge amount of energy every moment. However, energy does not come into being in a vacuum. ”

"The laws of heat state that energy is lost. In other words, there is a huge amount of energy in the universe itself, but these energies are being lost all the time, and when the energy of the universe is lost to a certain extent, the universe will not be able to maintain its current scale and will inevitably begin to collapse. With the collapse of the universe, the energy of the universe is lost faster, until the energy of the universe is lost to the limit, the universe will return to chaos, that is, the death of the universe. ”

"Is your guess reliable?" Ma Mengshi said she didn't understand.

"Whether we are human beings, animals and plants, we all have energy in our bodies, but these energies are being lost all the time, so we need external energy replenishment to maintain our lives. For the average person, replenishing energy is eating. For ordinary monks, it is also possible to use the energy obtained from cultivation to reduce the need for food. But at the end of the day, energy is needed, and without it, human life cannot be sustained. I think the same should be true for the universe. ”

"Even if you are reasonable, what does it have to do with merit?"

"Well, according to what I've learned, there's a process of expansion in the universe, from a relatively small one at the beginning to the current scale, and it's still expanding. Why is this so? I'm afraid that the universe can absorb foreign energy and replenish itself by itself, because the energy is still more than enough, so the universe will expand. Therefore, I believe that the universe should have its own system for absorbing external energy. And beyond the universe, it should be what we monks call the chaotic world. ”

Yang Siqi paused for a moment and said, "So, from this point of view, I can think that the universe has the ability to absorb chaotic energy by itself and transform it into other energy. It is precisely because the universe has such an ability that the universe can nurture all things. But there is a limit to the amount of chaotic energy that the universe can absorb. When the total amount of energy consumed by all things in our universe exceeds the upper limit of the universe's absorption of chaotic energy, the energy in the universe will become beyond its means. At that time, it will be the beginning of the universe's turn to destruction. ”

"So, doesn't it mean that only a part of everything can be destroyed to reduce consumption?" Ma Mengshi felt a chill.

"I'm afraid this one is also true, otherwise, among the six realms of reincarnation, the Shura Dao is one of the three good paths, just because Shura is good at fighting and killing, it reduces the consumption of the universe." In this regard, Yang Siqi also thinks it is reasonable.

"So, aren't those world-destroying demon kings like that savior?" In this regard, Ma Mengshi has a different opinion.

"It's not that simple, and we may not understand the truth. It may be that the universe needs a part of the life forms, because these life forms are good for maintaining the universe, so when there are too many life forms in the universe, it will cause a heavy burden on the universe, and conversely, when there are too few, it will also have a negative impact on the universe, and even this effect will exceed the impact of too many life forms. If this is the case, the universe will love all things to be born and evil all things to die. Therefore, saving lives is meritorious, and killing is guilty. ”

That's how it should be. Ma Mengshi nodded in approval.

"If we analyze it from this perspective, we can explain why there is a catastrophe in our country's mythological novels. The reason is that there are too many life forms in the universe, the energy consumption is too large, and the universe can no longer bear it, so the universe must reduce the number of life forms, and this one is the catastrophe. When too many lifeforms are to be reduced, it is a catastrophe. When you want to reduce the number of lifeforms by a very large amount, it is a calamity. Yang Siqi turned around and talked about what the Chinese call robbery.

"Makes sense."

"But this way of reducing the number of life forms by measuring the tribulation is a palliative rather than a cure, because, in the final analysis, the universe will continue to lose energy, so in the end, the universe can only return to chaos, and this one is the immeasurable tribulation."

"Why? The universe has a system that absorbs chaotic energy, which should be able to offset the consumption of cosmic energy loss. Ma Mengshi was puzzled.

"In a sense, the absorption of chaotic energy and the loss of energy should last for a very long time, but in the universe, there will be some problems that even the universe itself cannot solve. It's something that is constantly absorbing the energy of the universe, and the speed is getting faster and faster, and eventually, the universe is sucked dry. ”

"Aren't you?" Ma Mengshi didn't believe it.

"From the scientific point of view of our earth, when a star perishes, it may form a terrible neutron star, and the huge gravitational pull of the neutron star will absorb everything, not even the light can escape, in other words, the neutron star will absorb everything around it, and it will become bigger and bigger, and when it keeps growing, and finally grows to absorb everything in the universe, then the universe will come to an end." Yang Siqi explained.

"So, I think there should be something like neutron stars in the universe, and when the energy of the universe is absorbed faster and faster, so fast that the energy system of the universe itself cannot be maintained, the universe will be finished. Of course, what the hell this thing is, this one is not something I can guess now, but I think this thing should exist, and if I had to use a name, I could call it the Demon of World Destruction. This world-destroying demon may be a certain life form or an object, and the specifics are probably only known to the cosmic-level powerhouses, and even the cosmic-level powerhouses may not be clear. ”

The demon of destroying the world that Yang Siqi said is a bit like the Tao that Lao Tzu said, I don't know its name, and the strong name is the Tao.

"If we can solve this world-destroying demon, won't the universe be eternal?" Ma Mengshi is interested, if it can really be so, then send it.

"Hehe, just think about it, a problem that even a high-ranking cosmic-level powerhouse can't solve, we two little rookie levels, we don't even need to think too much."

"I kind of understand what you mean now. The Chaos Tower can transform Chaos Energy, which is equivalent to helping the universe replenish energy, although the amount is not much, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat. Therefore, the way of heaven gives merit. ”

Yes, the chaotic energy transformed by the Chaos Tower is not appropriate for the entire universe to be compared to a drop of water in the sea, and its amount is too small. But no matter how little, it's still a credit. It's like if you are a doctor and you help a patient live for five more minutes, five minutes is very short compared to the patient's lifetime, but no matter how short it is, it is also your credit, and the patient's family has to accept your affection.

"I think that those powerful cosmic-level powerhouses should also have such abilities, so those cosmic-level powerhouses don't take it lightly, they should also absorb chaotic energy every day and convert it into various energies to help maintain the consumption of the universe. Therefore, from this point of view, every cosmic-level powerhouse has immeasurable merits. ”

"In this way, as long as you keep building the Chaos Tower, when there are extremely large numbers, won't you be able to gain great merit?" Ma Mengshi was a little excited, merit is a good thing.
