451 Sublimation
"Looks like you don't approve of it. β
"Yes, it's okay to pass it on to the elite. Dai Raz looked at Bai He's face, didn't know why, and said stubbornly: "It's enough to win them over like this." β
"It's so smart...... Bai He laughed happily: "It's really the idea of the ruling class, why are you so smart?"
His tone was sarcastic, and to Deraz it sounded like a chill that went deep into the bone marrow.
"No...... No, sir. Delatz's tone trembled: "My lord, please believe me, if this technology must be completely popularized, it will definitely not be a good thing for those civilian classes, and it will be a disaster for backward areas, not all people have the willpower to bear this freedom." β
"If you look closely, you don't either. Shirakawa scoffed.
"Uh~" Dairaz was a little speechless, and his eyes rolled.
"But I'll still give you that freedom, even if you don't have it. Bai He pointed at Dyraz: "But even so, I can see your fate, how long do you think you can endure such an immortality?"
Oh, let me tell you, the soul needs to be fueled by desire, your desire is only to control wealth and power, and your values of wealth and power are also broken and vulgar, so when you have power and wealth to a certain point, you will start to get tired, your spirit will lose its progress, you will give up the exploration of desire, and the existing greed will decay into a disease.
And then this mental illness will eventually transform your consciousness into several forms that determine the pattern of your death, maybe going mad like a madman, or repeating the procedural work that desires leave in your mind like a robot, ah, and, that...... By the way, suddenly collapse in the emptiness, like this - smack!"
Shirakawa snapped his fingers, and Deraz stared at Shirakawa's pompous movements, his throat grunting, and his face turned pale.
His voice was ghostly, not in a high pitch but piercing deep into Deraz's brain, and with the snap of his fingers, Deraz sat down on the ground for a moment, his spirit stiffened for a moment.
He saw that decaying desires had seized his body, devoured him, and submerged him in the endless abyss, above which an unknown monster was condescending, and a pair of red eyes looked down on him:
"Either way, the 'initiative' that drives the development of your consciousness will disappear, and you will not have such a thing as a 'self', which is death, hiahiahia......"
"Ahββββh
"You see, reason with him and tell the truth, but he goes crazy. Shirakawa watched Dyraz leave, and stretched out his hands at Snook, whose face was twitching, making a helpless look.
"You are using the Psychic Deterrence Technique to create a psychological shadow for him, I agree with your approach, this man is indeed selfish, but why do you want to spread this technique on a large scale. Snook frowned deeply: "One thing he said is right, if this technology is spread to the bottom of society, it is easy to cause a collapse of civilization disaster - our execution is not enough to control that situation." β
"Then let civilization rush out of the dawn in the disaster~ Civilization that can't control its self-destructive impulse is not qualified, and there is nothing to worry about. Bai He said coldly: "I am only responsible for selling freedom, but the price still has to be paid by themselves, and they want to be free and free, how can there be so many good things in this world?"
"The point is, it's not good for us at all. Snook accentuated.
"The good? Spreading the idea is a good in itself. Bai He put away his smile: "What's more, what I want is not good." β
"And what do you want?"
"It's fun. Bai He put on the mask of 'madness', and a smile appeared in his tone: "Is there anything more important than happiness?"
"You're such a madman. β
Hey.
Looking at Snook's disapproval, Bai He shook his head, thinking that even if his knowledge had made great progress, his desire was still in the realm of mortals, and his realm had not reached a certain level, how could he understand his thoughts?
How could he have imagined how Shirakawa felt.
A large section of the tirade came out of Bai He's mouth, giving Bai He the feeling that he had a good idea, and even a sense of spiritual comfort that triggered the main quest.
This comfort is not an illusion, and the desire in Shirakawa's heart has been sublimated in the accumulation.
It sounds a little strange: but after practicing magic and having his own set of immortality theories, Shirakawa instead understands the truth that 'cultivating the truth is cultivating the mind', which has been spread to a pulp.
Technically, the confinement of the physical body has been broken, and the depletion of the soul is the biggest hurdle faced by the immortals.
Well, unless they know how to make progress, if they know how to try to turn around their shallow insightβif their insights continue to ossify, there's a good chance that their mindset will shift toward something like a ghoul's groundbinding.
If the technology of immortality involves modifying the flesh, and the technology is not very good (such as the Lich Transformation), the self-destruction time will be faster.
The reason is also easy to understand, most desires are rooted in physiological stimuli, and the more temperamental the person, the easier it is to immerse themselves in this stimulus.
High-quality soul fuel is a high-level desire that comes from the wisdom of intelligent beings that is unique to intelligent beings and transcends physical stimuli.
Whether it is a high-level desire or a low-level desire, the foundation is to satisfy this emotion, and 'satisfying' this emotion is the center of all desires.
As Shirakawa's horizons widened and his experiences gradually became richer, he deeply felt that simple desires were no longer enough to make him feel satisfied.
This means that to sustain a long life, there must be a stronger desire.
In Bai He's theory, curiosity and curiosity are the top desires, but the theory is just a theory, and in the actual implementation process, Bai He realized that his three views and temperament could not perfectly fit this desire, at least Bai He was not suitable to be a scientific madman. The temperament he has accumulated over nearly a century of life is closer to that of sociopathic philosophical maniacs and rhapsodics, and the complexity of his thoughts, coupled with the conflict between theory and practice, has led Shirakawa to engage in a very extreme form of spiritual exploration.
He often experiments with his various desires, and this exploration has caused Shirakawa's soul to be on the verge of collapse all the time, and the mask called Crazy Hustle is also a true manifestation of this state, but Shirakawa doesn't care, he used to value existence and continuity, but in this case, he must risk his 'existence', so he can't think too much.
Bai He always felt that it would be more suitable if he could keep this state all the time - the violently boiling desire would constantly give birth to new desires, whether they were high or low, enough to satisfy the hunger and thirst of the soul by winning in quantity, and he did not expect that today's mouth cannon at Yalbat would have the effect of sublimating desire.
White River Thought divides into several threads, one of which is slandering the Dharma as a bystander:
"RUA~ No wonder the bald donkeys taught in the West like to make wishes, it turns out that there is such a wonderful method. Thinking about it this way, if the bald donkeys are all wishing with utilitarian intentions, the bald donkeys of the King of Jizo Bodhisattva are enough for chicken thieves, and they can't rely on wisdom to become a Buddha to save the country, which is also a kind of wisdom. β
Bai He thought about it for a while, and felt that most of the Vulture Donkey Sect was crooked, if it was a utilitarian person who was generally willing to accumulate desires, how could he lock himself up in hell?
Another thread is excited about his great wish, vowing to free all living beings from the shackles that nature has given to their souls, and to free all creatures that are limited by physiology to live freely.
Gradually, the emotions of division converge into one, constantly eliminating, splitting, accumulating, and finally dissolving into a distorted pattern.
'It' seemed to travel through time and space, through Shirakawa's cheeks, as if a gust of wind knocked down the mask on Shirakawa's face and landed on his hands.
The surface of this synthetic material mask, which is not very high-tech, shimmered with the same luster, and according to the crazy and divided smile on Bai He's face, the facial features on the mask made an identical but a hundred times ugly expression.
"This may be the equipment I created in this world. Bai He played with the 'crazy mask', and had some regrets in his heart: "It's a pity that there is one word missing, and I can't increase the attack speed." β
......
Bai He's eyes were slightly closed, and he was using the Force to perceive the beauty of this 'crazy mask' - it didn't have too much power, its main function was just to absorb the residue of Bai He's desires, and its usefulness was very limited many times, but even if it was the residue of Bai He's desires, the spiritual effect produced was by no means idle, for example, at this moment, a Force link that tried to invade his spirit was blocked by this mask - he didn't have time to let Bai He take the initiative to block it with his mind.
"Ah~ Teacher, you're finally here. "White River searched the contents of the Force Link, but he was not afraid to let him in, and in an instant, as if crossing a nebula, Darth Tenabros's skeletal head appeared in his 'field of vision'.
He sat on the luxurious spaceship seat, twisting a cup with a black liquid in his hand - probably some kind of Biss people's favorite drink, watching Bai He's appearance, his tone also showed a happy mood - the Bis skeleton-like exoskeleton head probably couldn't see the smile: "Oh~ apprentice, you are finally no longer missing, how do you feel about the gift that the teacher gave you? A Jedi head, will you feel sincerely happy?"
Shirakawa laughed, "Dear teacher, are you joking in circles? I knew in the morning that you were coming to me, and our topic should not be the Jedi heads, but the question of what we want from each other." β
"You're so smart. Darth Tenabros complimented.
Bai He pondered: "You kill people and lose your head and take the initiative to expose, it seems unreasonable, but in fact it is very logical, you can feel that my reserve force is strong, so you don't dare to attack directly, and you can't just leave and directly plan to frame me, if I find something abnormal, I will choose to pass the news to the Jedi Order;
"Hahaha. The Sith Lord laughed twice without a smile, and suddenly felt a little regretful: "Son, I am amazed at your shrewdness, but you seem to think that I will harm you, why?"
"I have descended in the ruins of the Sith, knowing your thoughts. Bai He smiled weirdly, "Of course, what you want is my body and the Force, your life will be at the end of your life, and you are desperate for immortality." β
The Sith Maharaja's smile suddenly stopped.
