Chapter 630: Ignorance
"The fog that envelops the world around us is the foolishness of the world, and it is no wonder that it can obscure the gaze of the stars."
After the gray stone statue disappeared, the passage made of golden sand and gravel beneath Chen Qi's feet began to flow backwards.
The golden sand was absorbed by the High Priest, eventually turning into a golden crescent moon on his forehead.
……
The essence of these golden gravels is the [Stone of Wisdom] created by Chen Qi with the fire of wisdom.
And the fog itself is the initial form of the Fool's Stone.
……
Chen Qi's appointment as the head of the school rules has gained more than just identity.
It also includes a number of previous studies of the nature of the High Priest's power.
What the high priest had in his hands was a power called "ignorance".
No wonder it is restrained by the power of wisdom, and at the same time greedily absorbs the spark of wisdom.
……
"I really didn't expect that the [Stone of the Fool] was born in the era of ancient witches."
"More accurately, it was discovered by a witch doctor."
Among the materials obtained by Chen Qi, there are a large number of records about the Fool's Stone.
It was in the age of ignorance of human civilization, and the witches who were psychic with all things led the future of mankind.
……
At the dawn of civilization, racial groups began to expand rapidly.
The wise become leaders and lead civilizations to grow and develop.
The mediocre work silently to contribute to civilization.
But among the ever-expanding groups of civilizations, ignorant and mentally retarded people have also begun to appear.
They only add a burden to civilization itself.
……
The appearance of the foolish was regarded as a disease by the witch doctors of the time.
They think that something must have grown in the patient's brain that is causing their stupidity.
Through a craniotomy, the witch doctors eventually found small gray-black stones in the brains of the ignorants.
Thus was the "birth" of the [Fool's Stone]!
……
Although it may seem incredible, in the ancient witch era, witch doctors did make stupid humans smart by craniotomy and stone extraction.
The appearance of the Stone of the Fool naturally attracted the attention of the ancient witches who led human civilization.
If the disease of ignorance spreads widely, will humanity become weaker and weaker, and eventually be completely wiped out.
……
After all, compared to the swelling population, the number of witch doctors who can perform craniotomy is limited.
If we do not solve the problem at the source, the proportion of ignorant people in the human community will only increase.
What's even more terrifying is that the ancient wizards found that the descendants of the ignorant have almost 100% of the stones in their heads.
……
By killing and purifying, it is indeed possible to solve the problem temporarily.
But the development and growth of civilization itself will inevitably be stuck.
Only by completely solving the [Fool's Stone] can civilization continue to develop.
……
"The appearance of the [Fool's Stone] is a calamity that every intelligent civilization will inevitably encounter."
"This is a test of the world itself for the wisdom of civilization, and the wisdom civilization that cannot be passed will be extinguished immediately like a flame that has just been lit."
This short record in the material seems to reveal the truth about the birth of the Fool's Stone.
……
The ancient witches believed that the Fool's Stone was the punishment of heaven and earth for their "wanton channeling".
They borrowed the power of all things in heaven and earth to seriously interfere with the operation of the world.
And heaven and earth punished them.
……
The ancient witch, who had always been in awe of heaven and earth, naturally did not dare to resist this punishment.
So they chose to take all the blame for their own crimes, and the ancient witches gathered all the ignorance of the world on themselves through some kind of ritual.
This is indeed very effective, and the average person never grows a stone in his head again.
But the ancient wizards became more and more "ignorant" and weaker.
Their final outcome is naturally to turn into a gray-black stone statue.
……
It can be said that this choice of the ancient witches directly led to their decline and finally withdrew from the historical stage of human civilization.
But the various transcendent knowledge left by the ancient wizards, as well as their knowledge of heaven and earth.
But it ignited a new bonfire of human civilization and opened the curtain of an extraordinary era.
……
In the transcendent era, human civilization's perception of heaven and earth is completely different from that of the ancient witch era.
Naturally, they wanted to overturn the ancient witch's understanding of the Fool's Stone.
After all, the ancient witches did not solve the problem at the root, but only sealed some kind of "pollution".
Once the seal is broken, ignorance will completely ravage the world.
……
That's right, in the first transcendent times.
The transcendents believe that the appearance of the Stone of the Fool is a kind of pollution.
They must have come into contact with something that caused the stone to appear in their heads.
Otherwise, why don't stupid non-intelligent beings have stones in their heads?
……
Eventually, the transcendents came to a very different conclusion than the ancient witches.
They believe that the Stone of the Fool is the corpse of the heavens.
Intelligent life's definition and cognition of all things in the world is solidifying heaven and earth.
The world, which has lost its diverse forms, is gradually losing its vitality and moving towards death.
……
"There are hundreds of millions of colors in the world, but humans can only see a few hundred."
"So humans stubbornly believe that the world is what they see it to be."
"It is in this way that human beings are gradually solidifying and erasing the world."
"And the Stone of the Fool is the trace left after the heaven and earth have been consumed."
The transcendents' new definition and cognition of the Fool's Stone has successfully overturned the panic brought by the [Fool's Stone] to human civilization.
The Stone of the Fool is not only not a curse of heaven and earth, but a merit of the development and growth of human civilization.
……
But the transcendents still need to deal with the Fool's Stone in the human mind just like the Ancient Witches.
Eventually, the transcendents also chose to collect all the Fool's Stones through some kind of ritual.
It's just that the transcendent who has awakened the concept of selfishness will certainly not be stupid enough to carry the stone of the fool himself.
They have a clever plan.
……
Since in the new definition, the Fool's Stone is the "merit" of human beings to understand heaven and earth.
Then the Fool's Stone can be turned into a treasure.
Through some kind of ritual, the transcendents collected the Fool's Stone and forged it into a huge black tower.
……
This tower represents the human perception of heaven and earth.
As long as human beings continue to understand the world and continue to kill the heavens and the earth, then the tower will continue to grow automatically.
So the black tower has its own name, which is [Tower of Babel].
……
The transcendents of that time believed that sooner or later they would be able to stand on top of the tower and raise their hands to touch the world itself.
And once that achievement is achieved.
Then everyone in human civilization can touch the world by climbing the tower.
What this represents is a leap forward for the entire human civilization.
……
"Incredible, incredible."
"It turns out that [Babel] actually has such a origin."
"I was in the King Game before, and from the animatronic demon [Yu-Gi-Oh], I came into contact with [Babel] for the first time."
"[Yu-Gi-Oh] was born in the second world, and I thought that the Tower of Babel was some kind of technology or setting in the second world."
"I didn't expect its origins to be even older than I thought."
When Chen Qi read this paragraph, his heart was quite shocked.
He really didn't expect that the Stone of Fools would have such a long history.
It turns out that the ancestors have stones in their heads, is this considered a brain stone?
……
But Chen Qi also had to admire that the old ancestor at that time had a big brain, and he could think of such a subtle way to deal with the Fool's Stone.
The way the transcendents deal with it is obviously much "smarter" than that of the ancient witches.
And the reason why this is so is only because of the difference in cognition.
Obviously, the transcendents of that time had already discovered the magic of spiritual torrents.
……
"I don't know how high the Tower of Babel in human civilization is."
"But it shouldn't be [Raise Your Hand to Touch the Sky] yet!"
"Otherwise, it's good for everyone to climb the tower, why bother cultivating hard?"
Chen Qi recalled in his mind the picture when he first came to the Heavenly Witchcraft Academy.
It was the first time he had entered the Dikpat Plateau, and in a trance, he seemed to see a tower that reached heaven.
……
"The birth of the Stone of the Fool is the burning of the unknown by wisdom."
"It's the power of high-dimensional particles that is covering the three-dimensional world."
The times are advancing, and extraordinary civilizations are developing.
The knowledge of the Fool's Stone is also deeper and more essential.
The record of the last paragraph in the jade talisman is obviously closer to Chen Qi's time.
And the predecessor seems to have put a lot of effort into this.
Chen Qi also saw a study note he had left in the jade talisman.
……
"In this day and age, although the Fool's Stone is no longer born in the human brain, it still exudes the smell of stupidity."
"And the high priest is like an ancient witch, automatically absorbing this power."
"It's quite interesting that things must be reversed. A wise man will have a thousand worries, and a fool will have a gain. ”
"After the high priest has devoured the spark of wisdom, once he thinks about it, he will come up with [the answer]."
"If you want to suppress the high priest for a long time, you must let him think when his ignorance has accumulated to a certain stage."
"It has to be consumed actively."
"Otherwise, once the high priest recovers, he will die for life."
……
That's the end of what is recorded in the jade talisman.
Obviously, the predecessor's active consumption strategy still failed.
The key to this, Chen Qi saw through at a glance.
It must be that the [wisdom] of the predecessor is not enough.
……
"Let the high priest take the initiative to think, and the spark of wisdom consumed should gradually increase."
"If the consumption is fixed, it is impossible for the ex to be planted!"
"I'm the one in charge of the school rules, it's not easy to be it!"
In the dense fog world, Chen Qi completely figured out the cause and effect.
……
The High Priest was even more powerful than he had imagined.
Even Chen Qi suspected that the High Priest was the most powerful even in the school rules.
After all, this is the power of ignorance.
In addition to [wisdom], Chen Qi really didn't think of other effective methods of confrontation.
……
"Let's go, move on!"
Chen Qi gave instructions to the high priest.
If he was dragged forward before, then Chen Qi at this moment can already stop when he wants to, and leave when he wants. 】
……
Chen Qi wasn't stupid enough to let the High Priest dispel the fog, after all, it was a kind of protection for him.
The real danger was never the High Priest, who was kept out of the fog.
"Bang, bang."
The High Priest continued on his way, but soon, it stopped.
And at the moment when the high priest stopped, the surrounding fog suddenly dissipated.
……
"What is this?"
Chen Qi suddenly found himself standing in front of an incomparably large building.
The huge shadow of the building enveloped him, and at the same time completely cut off everything from the outside world.
……
"Not my delusion."
"The Tower of Babel really exists."
Chen Qi looked up, and the building in front of him extended infinitely upward, and it was a huge tower that reached the sky.
He actually appeared at the entrance to the tower.
……
"Chen Qi, congratulations on becoming the new school rule leader!"
"We thought you were lucky, but we didn't expect you to be able to fully control that [school rule]."
"Now that it's here, our people are finally together, let's go in together."
At the entrance of the giant tower, six figures stood quietly.
They all have the mark of the Nantian Society, and they are the other 6 school rules leaders of the Nantian Society.
If you count the current Chen Qi, the school rules mastered by Nantian Society have reached 7.
……
"I'm sorry."
"The first meeting was a little unfamiliar, so I made you wait for a long time."
Feeling the "same origin" aura coming from the other 6 people, Chen Qi instantly confirmed their identities.
These 6 Chen Qi have heard of it for a long time, but it is also the first time they have been in contact.
After all, people don't see the head and the end, don't say that Chen Qi is too lazy to go out, even if he takes the initiative to look for it, he may not be able to see it.
……
"Senior brother, your great name, we have long been like thunder."
"The reason why I didn't have contact with the younger students before was because of the [school rules]."
"Presumably, the juniors also know the details of the school rules, and once this thing is gathered, it is easy to resonate."
"That's why we rarely take the initiative to contact other school rules."
"Not only that, but in order to prevent the restlessness of the school rules from causing harm to other students, we rarely show up in the academy on a regular basis."
……
After the seven people entered the tower, a senior who seemed quite kind took the initiative to explain to Chen Qi.
Chen Qi knew in an instant that the other party was not lying.
The aggregation characteristics of the power of the original heavens, Chen Qi was clear.
The High Priest didn't resonate with the other six now, it must be because of the tall tower in front of him.
……
After entering the tower, the high priest walked behind Chen Qi with great interest.
The rules can only be "witnessed" by those who trigger and those who are in charge.
Although Chen Qi was very curious about what was following those six people.
But with his powerful perception, he only vaguely sensed some distorted outlines.
As for its true form, it is also difficult for Chen Qi to make a judgment.
……
"Since this is the first time that the junior has a meeting, I can take a good look at this tower!"
"Although this is not the Tower of Babel for our humans, it still has a wonderful use."
"For example, as we climb, we will get closer to the origin of heaven and earth."
"In the same way, the power of the tower itself will suppress the school rules."
"Otherwise, the academy would not have chosen to hold a meeting here, after all, it would have come to join in the fun, and those school rules that have gone out of control."
The members of the Nantian Society, although because of the interests of the people together.
But in the same way, as long as there are no "conflicts" of interest, members will be more enthusiastic than other associations.
After all, the purpose of the club is to have many friends and many paths.
Not only do you make friends outside the college, but also within the club.
……
"Sure enough, it's the Tower of Babel!"
"But it's not the Tower of Babel of human civilization?"
"It seems that when it comes to dealing with the [Stone of Fools], there will always be some commonalities between intelligent civilizations."
Of course, Chen Qi would not ignore the kindness of several seniors, the Tower of Babel was empty, and there were only spiraling stairs.
Chen Qi and the seven of them were climbing the stairs at this time, as if they would never reach the end.
……
"How does it feel?"
"It's similar to my [Heavenly Apostle]!"
"It seems that it can get closer to the origin of heaven and earth, and it is true."
When Chen Qi carefully comprehended the Tower of Babel, the other six had been chatting.
Obviously, they plan to take advantage of this rare opportunity to meet and exchange feelings.
……
"Huh?"
"Our junior brother is really a little too talented!"
"He resonated with Babel so quickly."
At a certain moment, one of the six people who was chatting suddenly found that Chen Qi had disappeared.
……
And in this case, there is only one possibility.
That is Chen Qi entering the real [Tower of Babel].
Don't look at them now, they are constantly climbing the stairs, but if they can't resonate with the Tower of Babel, they can't borrow the power of the Tower of Babel at all.
They will only be able to walk in the stairs for the rest of their lives.
……
"It's a bit embarrassing!"
"I thought we would have to accompany my junior here for three days and three nights."
"Now that the juniors are all in, we have to work harder."
One of them chuckled, then vanished.
It is clear that he has been climbing for a long time, and he has resonated with the Tower of Babel.
But this is the third time he has entered the Tower of Babel, which is enough to show how incredible Chen Qi's previous disappearance was.
……
"It's like we're a shame!"
The other 5 sighed and continued to climb the stairs.
Until now, they have not resonated with the Tower of Babel.
……
"I see."
"The Tower of Babel itself can actually stop the umbilical cord of human life from shrinking."
"And if it resonates with the Tower of Babel, it will be like bringing the [Apostle of Heaven] with you, which will allow human beings to break through that layer of [cognitive membrane] and truly manifest [person]."
"This is the truth that is closer to the origin of heaven and earth."
"Sure enough, there is nothing new in the transcendent world, as far as I can think of, the predecessors have probably done it a long time ago."
Chen Qi, who disappeared, appeared in a huge hall.
In the center of the hall, 81 seats are arranged in a circle.
And Chen Qi sat in one of the seats.
……
Regarding Chen Qi's sudden appearance, the other people who were originally sitting upright were not surprised at all.
Obviously, everyone has not only seen this scene a lot, but also experienced it personally.
Chen Qi looked around and saw that half of the 81 seats were already full of humans.
And this number is growing.
……
But what made Chen Qi depressed was that there were no people sitting in the seats on both sides of him.
Although they looked empty, Chen Qi knew it well.
Two runaway school regulars are staying there.
It's a meeting with a ghost.
