Clash Of The Sword Titans
Chapter 815: Self
"You are smart, but not smart enough."
Pope Shenhua stared at Lu Li, and finally said: "Have you ever thought about a question. The warrior will live forever. After thousands of years, can he still stick to his "self"?"
"What do you think is the ego?"
He looked at Lu Li, with a little hope in his eyes, as if he was really expecting an answer.
What is self?
Lu Li was silent for a moment.
He didn't know how to answer this question.
There are many kinds of self, but no matter how high-sounding the answer, the essence of the human race is actually'selfish'.
Some are for their own interests, some are for their own ideals, or even for some vain reasons, a sudden idea.
No matter what it is for, the true self is essentially selfish.
The so-called "great wish" of Pope Shenhua is a kind of extreme selfishness. Even if he takes a ten thousand steps back, his original intention is good, but it is only for self-satisfaction.
"It seems that you already have the answer, but it's okay. I have asked a lot of people about the answer to this question. Everyone has a different idea. There are thousands of people who have different ideas about themselves. There will never be a most standard answer."
"But no matter what the answer is, over time, as intelligent beings with self-awareness, we will get bored, doubt, make mistakes, and even collapse."
Pope Shenhua said as if sighing: "I have seen the most upright person in this world, turned into a devil who does no evil. I have also seen a villain whose hands are stained with blood and a body of sin. Suddenly, he realizes his life.
"Human nature is complex. This is the most special aspect of intelligent life. Everyone says that nature is difficult to change. It's just because there is not enough time, not enough to see and experience. A mortal's life is only a hundred years, even for an ordinary master In other words, a hundred years is not worth mentioning. After a thousand years and ten thousand years have passed, who would dare to say that one's nature is hard to change?"
Seeing Pope Shenhua sighing like this, Lu Li was silent for a while, and then asked: "What do you want to express? Want to tell me that you were once a persistent person? It's just because of time that you gradually forget your original intentions. What?"
Pope Shenhua shook his head and said softly: "On this road, I am only an explorer, but it is precisely because I know more that I fear change. So I searched the world and finally found the perfect one. Solution."
There are some emotions and memories in his voice, as if he has returned to the beginning. At that time, he was probably still a young man, because his belief in himself was shaken, he had to travel the world and wanted to find a perfect solution. The law.In this process, he met many people and many things. Although they are now different, they still occupy some places in his memory.
Lu Li could hear another deep meaning from his words.
The solution is to split one's consciousness?
Looking at Pope Shenhua with extremely handsome appearance, Lu Qi also felt a little shocked. This guy is really no ordinary lunatic.
Having been in this world for many years, Lu Li has met many people, both strong and weak, with extremely ugly faces and extremely firm beliefs.But there are really not many people who can give birth to chills.
An outright lunatic like Pope Shenhua can count as one.
Regarding the realm of consciousness and soul, it has always been difficult to touch by the strong human race.Even in the prosperous martial arts era of the Ten Thousand Clan era, the strong human race has only developed the cultivation methods of the sea of knowledge and divine mind, which is considered to involve the realm of consciousness.But in this aspect of the soul, few people can touch it. In addition to the suppression of the Nether, the fragility of the soul is more.
Even after the death of a strong celestial being, it is difficult for the soul to possess too strong power, unless certain preparations are made in advance, such as the strong soul of the water god family that he encountered in the small world.
He has prepared the power of resurrection for himself, and can exert extremely terrifying combat power with his soul.
But it was nothing more.
But Pope Shenhua was different. Not only did he think of how to split his consciousness and soul, and use it to seal himself up, he also took action, and he did so.
Dare to think and do, as if not worrying about the consequences of failure at all.
"Your solution is to cut out multiple selves."
Lu Li stared at Pope Shenhua, "But looking at your current tragedy, presumably this method has no effect."
This is a fact.
If cutting himself is really effective, why should he hide in such a barren mountain, and bring a group of the strongest but immortal black-robed men into a revolutionary?
Moreover, this so-called reformist is really a mob in Lu Li's eyes. The reason why the other Shenhua Pope who sits in the Church of God is so vigilant is probably because he clearly knows that the other himself has certain cards in his hand. .
In other words, the only person who really fears Pope Shenhua is himself, not the joke-like reformers.
"This is what I call the'self'."
As if he didn’t care about the mockery in Lu Li’s words, Pope Shenhua calmly explained: “The reason why I have separated my consciousness and awakened it when necessary is to worry about this. If now, the other has been lost’ Ego', is he still me?"
"Even if you have the same consciousness, the same experience, and the same memory. But after a self awakens, under the polishing of time, it will always become a completely different individual."
"There will not be two leaves that are exactly the same in this world, and so are people. The past me, the present me, and the future me, who have experienced different things and existed at different times, may lose the'real me'. "
"The consciousness of splitting the self is more like a means of quality preservation. When the one I was lost, the new self will stand up and replace him to accomplish what I should have done."
What surprised Lu Li was that Pope Shenhua was unexpectedly sober about this incident. He seemed to know the meaning of his birth and why he had split his consciousness in the first place.His remarks were extremely logical, and he couldn't see the chaos after his consciousness was split so much, and he didn't confuse the religious believers.
After everything faded away, Pope Shenhua seemed to be an ordinary person who stood firm.
Of course, this ordinary person is also relatively speaking.
After all, Lu Li didn't think that there were still a few people in this world who would dare to split their consciousness, and repeatedly wake up and create multiple selves.
However, after listening to Pope Shenhua’s words, Lu Li’s impression of him did change a little, “I thought you would be a madman full of grace. Now it seems that every madman knows what he is doing. You Very awake, but it also makes you more dangerous and more terrifying."
"The more you understand what you are doing, the more unforgivable the things you do."
"The cult should have been doing human experiments all the time."
Lu Li seemed to be looking at him, simply and directly provoked the topic.
Because whether it is the dead envoy of rage, the original sin great envoy who was born with alien blood, and the "Sanli" created by the Nalan family at the expense of all young people, these are all experimental products of the gods.
It seems that the research on bloodlines and divine power of the gods has never stopped. If you want to have such results, it is not difficult to imagine how many bloody experiments have been experienced behind this, and how many lives have been sacrificed.
Lu Li is not a saint, and he can't control all the people in the world. However, the behavior of the religious sect and their increasingly crazy behavior have obviously begun to threaten everything that he cherishes. In this case, Lu Li must take care of it. Tube' out.
"I have made many mistakes on the way to the truth."
Faced with Lu Li’s problem, Pope Shenhua didn’t justify himself, nor did he find any excuses, but rather frankly said: “The experiments of the religious teachings are indeed one of the mistakes. Although they are not the biggest, they It also has a very far-reaching influence. I can't remember that this is the decision made by the first generation of "self" after being lost, but this decision is indeed one of the few things I regret."
