Thinking is also seeing – this means to observe is to think. That is, "recognition" and "knowing" in the process of human cognition.

Teaching by example – this is indirect cognition, just like reading books to gain knowledge. Books are written by people, so the process of reading words is also reading a thought.

"The main spiritual power core may still be saved, but the secondary core—"

Lily grabbed Elder Joshua's hand and used her mental power to probe Elder Joshua's physical condition. Elder Joshua Ben was in a terrible state, and the only consolation was that he was not dead.

"I know," Elder Joshua nodded, "That's good, those guys aren't so lucky." ”

"What?" Mr. Hallbolin also came, who was closed off by Lily from his senses, but retained his hearing. He was shocked to deduce the situation from Elder Joshua's words.

"Don't get excited, because I haven't said anything more exciting." Elder Joshua took a moment to breathe, then asked a question, "Miss Lily, Miss Chuchu, and Mr. Halbolin, if the truth of the necromancy is in front of you, and it will definitely cause you serious harm, what will you choose?" Please think carefully about this question. ”

"Need an answer right away?" Mr. Hallbolin asked rhetorically. Elder Joshua's question was so abrupt that Mr. Hallbolin felt that he should be given a little more time since he was cautious.

Elder Joshua nodded solemnly and said affirmatively, "Yes, the box has been opened. The necromancy will soon dissipate, so you must make a decision now. ”

"I choose the truth." Lily has already made a decision, and this is also her usual character, not surprisingly.

Chu Ming looked at Lily worriedly, and then squeezed Lily's hand. Show your support. And Lily added again:

"Miss Chu Chu doesn't have to decide yet. Wait until I know the truth, and then choose. ”

"It's good." Elder Joshua nodded approvingly, and she turned her head to look at Mr. Hallbolin

"What about you? Mr. Hallbolin. Time is running out. ”

"I'm a biologist and a teacher. So I couldn't quench my curiosity. ”

Mr. Halbolin is actually a man who knows how to move forward and retreat. Since Elder Joshua Ben is not dead, the worst outcome is the same as that of Elder Joshua Ben. Mr. Hallbolin was a biologist and a teacher. Therefore, the identity of a strong spiritual person is not impossible for him to give up.

"Help me, thank you."

With Chu Ming's help, Elder Joshua leaned against a rock, and at the same time, Lily also closed Miss Chu's perception, and Elder Joshua's narration began. What she was talking about was a secret that made the heavens fall apart in the cultivation of spiritual power. It's not just the body that collapses. There is also the view of the world.

"Soon after each of us cultivates our spiritual power, we will begin to condense the spiritual power core, which is also known as the core of faith. This belief is not the belief of God, but some kind of obsession in the heart. For example, the core of my faith is guidance. I wish I could be a lantern bearer in the darkness and light the way ahead for those who come after me. ”

Elder Joshua Ben was honest. She told her deepest secrets.

"None of us are novices who have just cultivated our spiritual powers. So, I'm sure both of you have pondered the question of what will be the core of faith in the end? Is there an end to our path? What is the end?

There is so much discussion and speculation on this topic. No one can be sure. Because none of us have ever died, and the dead cannot speak.

However, I want to tell you what was in that box, and I want you to accept this fact with skepticism. ”

Elder Joshua Ben did a long job of foreshadowing. And both Lily and Mr. Halbolin were engrossed in adjusting their mental power to the most acute state, which was the defensive posture of the mentally strong, and they were ready.

"There's a brain in the box, of course, my statement may not be correct, but it's the closest word."

Elder Joshua Ben spoke very slowly, even verbosely, not because he was tired, but because he was cautious.

"At the center of this brain is a clear bottle with some solvent in it. There are some white particles in the solvent. ”

Elder Joshua Ben tried to describe the contents of the box from the perspective of the person next to him, which was a written expression that weakened the appeal.

"The white particles are brain cells. The bottle is the container, the heart of the brain. Therefore, this box is most likely the legendary human column computer. ”

Elder Joshua Ben said little by little, to avoid the huge impact of excessive information.

"However, this is not the same as the human column computer we imagined. Because the brain operates independently, there are independent algorithms. ”

Elder Joshua Ben only glanced at the box, and what she saw was not so detailed, these were the truths she had deduced backwards.

"So—this is a man, a man who is dying and being born again."

Elder Joshua looked nervously at Lily and Mr. Hallbolin, Lily's face was a little pale, and Mr. Hallborin's body was trembling. Fortunately, they were able to keep their cool. So Elder Joshua Ben continued.

"In the bottle is a person's brain, a person's mind. He dies all the time, and then the brain reorganizes his brain cells, implants his previous memories, and gives him a new life. He dies every moment, is reborn every moment. Is he dead? Or is it alive? I don't know the way, but it could well be – eternal life. ”

Poof-

Mr. Halbolin spurted a mouthful of blood, then sat down quickly, and waved his hand to signal that he still wanted to listen. And Elder Joshua Ben gritted his teeth and continued:

"Yes, eternal death comes eternal life, and in this cycle he becomes a god. This canyon is the world realm he created, and he governs the creatures here, even going against the laws of the universe to evolve. He found the end, or one of the ends, of faith. ”

Poof-

Lily spurted out a mouthful of blood. Mr. Hallbolin had fallen to the ground in a languid state.

"Go on!" Lily said.

"I want to know the way!" Mr. Hallbolin is actually insisting.

"Yes, this is a sad day for all spiritual power cultivators. Because our faith is broken. Elder Joshua Ben let out a long sigh: "Although our beliefs vary, they certainly include 'eternal life.'" And, just as I want to guide everyone on the way, my ultimate goal is to be 'godlike' in a sense. So. Inside that chest was Necromancy. But also gods. ”

"Gods!" Mr. Hallbolin whimpered, tears rolling down his face. His faith collapsed, and the ultimate goal he pursued turned out to be a man in a bottle, a man who did not know whether he was dead or alive.

"It turned out that faith was locked, so ruthless !!"

Lily held Chu Ming's hand, her hand was terrifyingly cold, without a trace of temperature. In Chu Ming's special visual power. Lily is like a volcano that has been building up for a long time, with huge spiritual energy surging and ready to erupt at any time.

"Help me." Lily looked at Chu Ming, and Chu Ming nodded. Subsequently—

Bang –

A strong force knocked Chu Ming out of the air, and the stones and trees along the way were all damaged, forming a messy passage.

"There's nothing to do, I can't die."

When Chu Ming walked back. Lily's face turned bloody. But her gaze was frighteningly cold.

"No wonder my people die by suicide." Lily's eyes glistened with hatred: "Those strong people in our people are much stronger than me. However, they have ended their lives by suicide. I thought that human nature was degraded, but now I realize that death is the end of evolution. Eternal life that accompanies eternal death, this is God. Haha!!ha ”

Lily laughed loudly. It turned out that she and they were wrong in the beginning. The Psychic Core is a lurking trap, just like the genetic defects of orcs. So hidden, so ingenious.

Such traps generally do not kill people and will give many benefits. But if someone tries to reach a higher level, what awaits them is perdition.

"Wrong, wrong, we're all wrong." Mr. Halbolin wailed, he was not dead, but his mental power was rapidly dissipating, and soon, he would become a normal man. This is the price of touching the lock-in of faith.

"yes, I'm kind of admiring this old guy now." Elder Joshua leaned leaning on the stone: "He never believed in feelings, he only relied on calculations. Although he didn't expect the box to be so amazing, he kept it to his heart. If it weren't for you—"

Elder Joshua Ben looked at Chu Ming

"Xie Lu Xie, without you, Nessy and I wouldn't be able to live."

"You're welcome—" Chu Ming shook his head, he still had a lot of doubts in his heart, so he asked, "But, why is this box here?" Does the orc's madness have anything to do with this chest? ”

Listening to Chu Ming's question, Elder Joshua didn't answer directly, but smiled reluctantly and said, "Actually, you already have the answer, don't you?" So, let's solve this mystery one by one. ”

"Where to start?" Chu Ming asked rhetorically, this sentence is actually an admission.

"Start with the Substitute." Elder Joshua Ben said without hesitation.

Chu Ming didn't shirk, paused slightly, and began his own speculation.

"The first rule of substitution: to maintain the uniqueness of substitution. However, the Substitute Union does not exclude those with strong mental strength, such as the Sicinal family, who have always been the thugs of the Substitute Alliance. Therefore, I can speculate that there is some kind of locking in the cultivation method of substitution technique and spiritual power. Now, what we are seeing is the locking of the spiritual power cultivation method, and the locking of the substitution technique has not yet been discovered. ”

"Yes." Elder Joshua also nodded, "This is also the reason why Lian Wei did everything he could to suppress the Boundless Cultivators. Because they need a single error, not a right or other error. ”

"yes, and the orcs." Chu Ming also nodded: "This question is relatively simple, since that box is a god in some sense, he can operate evolution." Of course, it is possible to create life like God. The orc's madness must have something to do with him. As for the butterfly worm and the magic eye—"

While Chu Ming was thinking, Elder Joshua had already given the answer

"It shouldn't have anything to do with that box. However, there are two other things you should pay attention to – the Devil's Gate and the Butterfly Cave. This is a portal similar to a space-folding base station. Do you know what is the most complex and difficult part of the folding base station in the space? ”

"It's not energy-" Chu Ming thought for a moment, and then understood: "It's not energy and it's not a technique, and the technique has long been mature." The hardest part is the calculations. Huge real-time and synchronous calculations. ”

"Yes, that box — I just said one word: 'human column computer'. This is a computing tool that is 100 times more powerful than the brain. ”

"Yes!" Chu Ming slapped his thigh, and he remembered: "No wonder I look at the pattern of the box very familiarly, it turns out that I have seen it." In the Special Laboratory of the Inner Rim Galaxy, Miss Holfield is in this state, but instead of eternal death, she is asleep. ”

Chu Ming's words were said casually, but they had an unimaginable effect. Elder Joshua Ben smiled with relief, and even Mr. Hallbolin stopped crying.

"It turns out that we are not the first." Mr. Halbolin looked at Chu Ming in a daze, like Chu Ming had a flower on his face.

"Hehe, it turns out that there are still people alive. Reached the end and was still alive. Elder Joshua smiled happily, "I'd love to see her, she's ahead of everyone." ”

"That's it?!" Chu Ming was shocked, he said something casually, and actually cheered these people up.

"Miss Howfel? Why didn't you tell me? Lily rested her head on Chu Ming's shoulder, and her current state stabilized.

"This, I, I—I didn't think it mattered." Chu Ming felt ashamed.

"It's not your fault." Lily rubbed Chu Ming's cheek affectionately, she would only make this kind of affectionate act when she liked it very much.

"Then you're all right, right?" Chu Ming is still concerned about Lily's body.

"Elder Joshua Ben will not die, and neither will Mr. Hallbolin, but he will lose his abilities." Lily said casually.

"What about you?" Chu Ming didn't feel good.

"I can't die for a while."

"What do you mean?"

"It's not very clear, this body-"

Lily understood after saying half a sentence to Chu Ming, Lily was in a soul state and found a body, so the collapse of faith hurt her even more. Although I don't know what will happen to the road, it is very likely that it will end the worst.

No one spoke, and Elder Joshua Ben guessed something, so he stopped talking.

"Let's go find Miss Holfield!" Chu Ming gritted his teeth and made a decision.

It was a lock-in, a profound deliberate trap that ruined all of Lily's people. Therefore, it is impossible for Chu Ming to find a way to solve it, although Hao Feier's state is not good, it is the only way.

"No need." Lily shook her head and refused, "I'm tired, really tired." I've already started from scratch once and don't want to have a second time. So be it. ”

Lily wasn't tired, she was desperate. She didn't want to be the man in the bottle, not even Miss Holfield, she had her pride.

"But—"

"It's okay." Lily interrupted Chu Ming's words: "Actually, it's not that serious, the biggest possibility is that it is sleeping, just like before." ”

"Isn't that a vegetative state?!" Chu Ming was still opposed.

"Vegetative? Hehe" Lily smiled: "Aren't you also a little plant man?" If I become vegetative – remember to water me. ”

It wasn't funny at all, but Chu Ming was speechless. He suddenly realized that he was still so weak that he couldn't protect his beloved. Even if he can be invincible on the battlefield, he is still helpless in the face of a shocking conspiracy against humanity. Lily is locked in faith, and what about him?

The philosophy that my mother said was locked, if she really touched that lock, what kind of ending should Chu Ming have?
