Bai Yan seemed to have entered a special state, he stood in place without any self-protection measures at all, just standing in place, thinking about something.

In Bai Yan's sea of knowledge, there was a smaller Bai Yan sitting cross-legged on the bank of the long river of time, looking at the endless river and chanting silently.

"So, what is the real me?"

"The memory of the past life is me, but is the memory of this life me?"

"If the memories of my past life are the mainstay, then am I dying like this in this life?"

"So is it the gradually increasing memories of my past life that constitute the current me, or is it the fact that I took the initiative to accept, change, and even evolve in this life to become the current me?"

Bai Yan seemed to be entangled in these questions, and he couldn't get the answers from his own thinking.

Now that he is on the tip of the bull's horns again, he can't even come up with an answer to this question, and he can't even return to his normal state.

And his current state is called a demon in the normal ordinary world, but in the monk world, it may be more vivid to describe it as a madman.

"I am me in this life, so is it me that the memories of past lives stored around the world?"

"Is it me after all the memories come together, or is every memory me?"

"Or do the memories of my past life represent me at all?"

Bai Yan began to fall into a dead end, no matter what he thought, he couldn't get along with a completely self-consistent answer.

And not being completely self-consistent means that he can't agree, which means that he can't get out of this state and return to his normal self.

For a long time, Bai Yan, and even the entire human race, not too many people went back to think about self-awareness, they were born to be aware of themselves, and then they lived like this.

It's as if this question is completely unthinking, or rather a collective subconscious avoidance of thinking.

On Earth, it seems that thinking about self-knowledge, and even about the dialectical laws of where self-consciousness really exists, seems to be the right of only a few.

But in fact, everyone has this right, but most people give up thinking about themselves under the pressure of day after day.

They are thankful that they have survived the increasing pressure, and they do not have the leisure time to think about what the so-called "self" is.

Bai Yan is the same, in his past life, or in this life, he has never been so calm down to think about who he really is.

Facing the flowing water of the endless river of time, Bai Yan felt his insignificance for the first time, or for the first time, he felt his existence.

Bai Yan calmed down, and at first he didn't worry about what he was, what he was, and which one was me, but instead turned to the question that seemed more complicated, but was actually simpler.

What is the human self? Or what is the human being?

"All human beings have the desire to dominate their complete selves. ”

"The formation of human beings comes from the interference of the material world with the primordial 'me'. The so-called personality is nothing but a collection of external interference, all the influence exerted by the outside world on people. ”

"The human self is the exploration of the self and the exploration of the world throughout his life. ”

"Each person is the collection of all the influences of the outside world on the formation of the original 'me', the collection of all the thoughts on the self, the collection of all the stubbornness and fickleness, the collection of all the free explorations!"

Bai Yan stood up for the first time, standing on the bank of the long river of time, looking at the river that was still flowing.

He saw a lot of things, saw the final battle between himself and Satan, saw the birth of his little padded jacket and fat boy, saw him meet Su Zhijun again, and even saw that he was in a relationship with Fu Chao and others at the beginning......

All these are the parts that make up Bai Yan, and they are the memories of Bai Yan in this life.

But soon, many memories of his past life appeared in his mind.

He saw that he led his subordinates to conquer outside the territory, completely blocking the extraterritorial creatures from the endless sea of stars, saw his boring cultivation day after day, and saw the first time he saw Su Yu, and it was like old at first sight......

These are my memories, so which one is me?

Bai Yan put his past life and this life on both ends of the scale, wanting to peek into which side he was more inclined to.

But this method is obviously not valid, because both sides are in vain and he himself!

So Bai Yan quickly gave up this idea and took down himself at both ends of the scale, sometimes looking at the memories of his previous life, and sometimes looking at the experience of this life.

Suddenly, a sentence that seemed completely unrelated to his current thinking suddenly broke into his heart.

"A person's right to choose whether or not to be free is itself an expression of free will. ”

Free will.

Yes!

What am I thinking? I'm thinking about which one I am! And who am I thinking about right now?!

It's all me!

That's right!

Bai Yan seemed to have figured out the trick, and all the existences that were originally like fog bloomed in his mind at this moment.

"I'm for me!"

Bai Yan stood on the bank of the long river of time, his eyes suddenly opened, and there were two divine lights, as if they came from outside the sky, and they instantly disappeared into Bai Yan's mind, and just met the pair of eyes on the bank of the long river of time.

"I was in the previous life, and I am also me in this life!"

It's all me!

Bai Yan shouted in his heart.

"Hahahaha!"

On the surface, Bai Yan was also laughing, he hugged his chest and laughed, as if he had encountered something particularly funny.

Yes, it's funny to think for so long about an answer to a question that is clearly in front of you.

Bai Yan in the real world also suddenly opened his eyes at this moment, and at the same time, the light from outside the sky poured out of his eyes at this moment, and shot out of the sky again, looking as if Bai Yan had seen through the entire endless sea of stars at a glance.

"Brother Yan, you're finally awake!"

At the moment when Bai Yan came to his senses, a surprise voice suddenly came from the side.

Bai Yan probably knew why this voice was so worried, but he didn't know how long he had been in this contemplative state.

"Fu Chao, how long have I been standing here?"

"Brother Yan, it's been a whole month!"

"Heh, I didn't expect it to take me a month just to think about such a question, it seems that there are still not many things to reincarnate and rebuild, and it takes a lot of effort just to figure out this problem. ”

Bai Yan got the answer and muttered to himself, but in the end, he still figured it out, didn't he?
