"After walking for so long and still not encountering any corners, will there be another illusion labyrinth in the temple?"

After eating a few bites of convenience food in silence, Jiang Yingxue coldly popped up this topic, which seemed to be the best explanation for the current strange phenomenon.

Returning to the temple, Aaron's mental state improved again, but he remained silent because he had no say in these topics.

"For the explanation of current phenomena, the phenomenon of time and space is an explanation, and the labyrinth of illusion is also an explanation, and it is easy to give a conclusion about who is right and who is wrong, but it is difficult to evaluate the conclusion.

Even if the possibilities continue to expand, it may be just a mausoleum full of personal tastes.

Whether it is the seemingly infinite space inside the mausoleum, or the infinite dust piled up in it, it may be just some of the basic anti-theft measures.

Speculation, reasoning based on past known experience, has never been of any use in new and unknown regions. ”

As if to verify something, Bai Ning took out the few flares he had left and fired a shot at the inside of the temple, and the scorching white light quickly rose into the air, bringing a large area of light to the area that had not been seen for a long time.

The seemingly endless walls on his side are exposed, and the dusty ground that looks like a sea of desert sand is also exposed, and the light still makes people feel desperate.

Outside the temple, it is clear that a strong flashlight can reach the top, but inside the temple, even a more powerful flare is like a firefly flying into the infinite deep void.

Beyond the light, there was still endless darkness, and the stone wall with limited height on his side seemed to become an impassable cliff, extending infinitely upwards until it merged with nothingness.

"Is this any different from a labyrinth of illusions?"

The current scene has completely surpassed the common sense of physics, and if we do not use the theory of time and space as an explanation, then we can only negotiate ourselves through the previously known labyrinth of illusions.

It is precisely because they are in a phantom labyrinth with its own operating rules, and the previous herd attack is just a product of their fantasy, so their previous encounters are more thrilling than dangerous.

This kind of conclusion that seems to be about to come out still can't make Bai Ning agree.

In the previous experience of the illusion labyrinth, the consciousness and the body were completely separated, the consciousness completely existed in a virtual space, and the movement after leaving the illusion labyrinth was also very large.

However, they entered and exited the temple several times, and their bodies and consciousness did not perceive any state of separation, and even due to some crisis events, there was no problem at all with the reduction of items on their bodies.

The overall feeling was that they were wandering inside and outside the temple as entities.

However, Jiang Yingxue's insistence is not unreasonable, the size of the inner and outer spaces of this temple is unbalanced, and the real vastness is boundless, and no physical attempt can peek into the end of this strange space.

Even the simplest method of elimination, after denying the spatial attributes, can only be identified as an illusion.

Even continue to follow the clue of illusion, which is like a naked-eye 3D area, and the result perceived by the human eye through the light is false.

The reason why this special fantasy space was created in this area is to make this temple more mysterious and easier for outsiders to worship and worship.

It's just that the temple was destroyed later, and the remaining mechanics can only realize the vast properties of this place, and even some of the shallow layers of ash on the ground are exaggerated into a dusty desert.

No matter how self-consistent this logic is, Bai Ning still can't believe the correctness of this reasoning.

"The Illusion Labyrinth is the closure and reconstruction of our five senses, and the presentation mechanism here is obviously different from the Illusion Labyrinth.

We have experienced various disturbances from the sensory level to the conscious level before, the illusion labyrinth, mental pollution, and emotional interference, which are likely to be one level different from the influence of the soul.

After entering the temple, Aaron was able to reawaken from his slumber, which means that the mechanisms in the temple can directly affect our souls.

There have been many speculations about the temple, either in an enshrined nature or as a mausoleum, but it may also be a purely spiritual symbol.

The study of the soul is blasphemy, so what about the person who can control the soul, is it already the god itself?

These speculations are based on human beings as the main body, or on the basis of the worship of the gods by objective third parties, but what about the soul?

If this temple does not worship the gods of good and evil, and does not vainly begin to proclaim themselves gods, then only the soul itself can be worshipped.

What the soul is, what it can do, what its source is, and what it will eventually become is all questions to be solved, and they are also questions that can trap the researcher for a lifetime.

In this kind of continuous research, if the answer cannot be found in the end, and can only talk about its magic, under the premise that there is god worship as the guide, will the researcher sanctify the soul problem?

It is said that the end of science is metaphysics, and when the existence of the soul itself has surpassed the level of human comprehension, then it seems that it can only be worshiped as a kind of god. ”

Bai Ning said a lot, Jiang Yingxue and Ah Long were just silent the whole time, for the unique brain circuits of some mad scientists, it is indeed not something that ordinary people can understand.

If you want to interpret Bai Ning's statement, you can only reinterpret the specific concept of the gods.

What is God.

Why is there a god in this world.

The gods are mighty powers, the gods are beliefs, and the gods may also be just a way of life.

If the soul is the basis of divinity, then there seems to be nothing wrong with offering the soul directly.

"You say that this temple is dedicated to spirits, but obviously it can't be ordinary souls.

Since it is a god, it must be something that is infinitely abstracted, a philosophical description of the soul.

As in most religions, the highest form of faith is devoid of any image, whether it is God or Buddha, and worship in the form of a statue is rejected by the core doctrine.

If there is no real soul here, just a mass of nothingness, then how can the spatial anomaly here be explained?

It can't be said that there is a conceptual god called the soul, or a conceptual law called the soul, which makes the inner area of this temple take on a strange appearance, right? ”

Jiang Yingxue's use of other religious forms to analogy with the situation here may sound absurd, but there is nothing wrong with its overall core.

It is also reasonable if the members of the Ancient Ruins have advanced the study of the soul to an unprecedented level, and the study of the soul makes it seem sacrosanct, perhaps because of the obsession in their hearts, they have a worship for the soul that has become as perfect as the truth.

The so-called concept of God is not without this possibility.

Isn't our human application of science and technology also the use of various concepts?

It's just that we don't know so much about the concept of the soul that the material phenomena that extend from it make us wonder.

If we don't know how acid corrodes, then the phenomenon of objects being instantly dissolved in super-strong acids will also be considered a magical vanishing event. ”

Bai Ning echoed Jiang Yingxue's point of view, which made her feel a little surprised, she didn't expect that a casual topic could be basically consistent with Bai Ning's thoughts.

"In other words, is there some kind of soul-related mechanism in this temple that is distorting our senses?

In fact, the previous flares have reflected the entire outline of the temple, but our eyes are selectively unable to see, and mislead us into observing an infinite space.

We seem to be trekking around a seemingly endless wall for eternity, but we have circled the entire temple for an unknown number of times.

But even if our current state is from the soul, isn't this just another form of the labyrinth of illusions? ”

In Jiang Yingxue's view, whether it is an illusion based on the consciousness level or an illusion based on the soul level, it is essentially an illusion, which is also an illusion labyrinth.

Speaking of which, in the end, they all came down to the same illusion phenomenon, and Jiang Yingxue was a little unclear about what Bai Ning was obsessed with.

"Boil water with fire and boil water with electricity, both can get a pot of boiling water, but is the essence of the two the same?"

Bai Ning's response at this time seemed like a kind of sophistry, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he could get some inspiration from it.

But is there really any point in this kind of exploration of the underlying logic?

They are just experiencers of the labyrinth of illusions, and they want to understand the difference, what is the difference between this and directly delving into the secrets of the soul.

Is there really any point in delving into the soul as something unknown to them?

Thinking about it again, Jiang Yingxue's heart couldn't help but be shocked, and it seemed that she had finally realized the fundamental reason why Bai Ning had studied her soul deeply.

"You mean to say that the whole temple is actually a mutation caused by our own soul turmoil.

The mutation in the temple has a subjective will at the soul level, which is completely different from the previous style of passively enduring the labyrinth of illusions? ”

Jiang Yingxue seemed to have grasped the fundamental difference of this temple, but she was in a trance for a while, and she couldn't fully understand the difference.

"The illusion maze of the consciousness category has its operating rules, and the illusion maze of the soul category also has its unique properties.

The labyrinth of illusions that we experienced in the outpost research base had certain external coercion properties, and all of us were collectively pulled into the labyrinth of illusions built by the core of the illusion.

But in this temple, it is clear that our physical bodies are not separated from our consciousness, and we are more interacting with the temple in some way.

Based on this, it seems possible to make a bold assumption about this:

Consciousness can be manipulated externally, but the soul can only generate collective illusions through resonance.

Remember the details that Ivan confessed earlier about soul resonance?

Special souls can also produce magical soul resonance phenomena through crystals, and souls in a resonant state are more likely to be contained by crystals, and it is easier to transfer between different bodies.

If soul resonance is not a special case, but a universal commonality of the soul, then this principle can bring the crowd to a unity at the soul level.

This sense of collective worship, which seems to come from the depths of the soul, is beneficial to maintaining the sanctity of the temple.

That is, we are influencing each other in the temple, not because the temple is influencing us.

The underlying logic of this interaction is that our souls resonate through a special soul mechanism that exists here. ”

Bai Ning's bold assumptions made Jiang Yingxue a little staggered, and this kind of purely personal reasoning direction made Jiang Yingxue a little difficult to accept.

But based on her trust in Bai Ning, she had to forcibly accept this possibility.

It's easy to believe that Bai Ning, but how to verify Bai Ning's statement?

What do they have to do to realize this so-called soul resonance phenomenon?

Jiang Yingxue subconsciously glanced at Ah Long beside him again, the only one here who has been passive in his soul is Ah Long, could it be because his soul is unstable that some mechanisms of the temple have been triggered?
