Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

“Wow, as soon as I came up, I asked so deep, so bright and bright, with questions of cosmic reason, how do I answer them? ”

Longyang Jun laughed, "In fact, this is an overly vain, air-to-air question, and everyone has their own understanding, not necessarily the right answer, or there can be 10,000 correct answers —— they can all explain the tip of the iceberg of the unknown universe from some angle. ”

"- [sic]" So what's your ‘right answer’? ”

"" I don't have much ‘right answer’ either, "said Longyang Jun." At best, there are some premature inferences and hypotheses that I can talk about and discuss with you.

“While we have talked about the rivalry between ‘Pangu civilization' and ‘chaos', and even portrayed it as a war of unprecedented proportions that touched 3,000 worlds hundreds of thousands of years ago, the form of the so-called 'war’ and the judgment of ‘winning or losing’, at least before the division of the Lady Clan, are simply incomprehensible and unimaginable to us.

“Pangu civilization is like a mountain of activity, chaos or extraterrestrial celestial demons are countless times smaller than the smallest microbes, and there is no entity, just a 'microbial shadow’, and they have no self, no consciousness, no nature, no civilization —— don't ever imagine chaos or extraterrestrial celestial demons as an anthropomorphic existence, that's the biggest mistake. ”

Li Yiu frowned: "But I have seen many celestial demons with strong emotions and self-consciousness, such as Tenjin Mo Xuan, Tenjin Thunder Qin, and Tenjin Lu Light Dust, including the female commander who just tried to take her home. Is it true that deep down in her brain, she lies an ancient monster who has been hibernating for hundreds of thousands of years? ”

“Big mistake. ”

Longyang Jundo, “The so-called ‘demon Mo Xuan' is not exactly, but rather a collection of thousands of 'chaos’ and ‘demons’ that exist deep in Professor Mo Xuan's divine soul.

“No, not just Professor Mo Xuan, there are thousands of demons even in you, in me, deep within everyone's brain. ”

“Tens of millions of demons? ”

Li Yao was completely confused, “I don't understand...”

“You can imagine our divine soul as an ecosystem, as the sky, as the earth, as the ocean, as plants and animals, as a living, unique planet, as well as a world, as a magical, unpredictable 'little universe’! ”

Longyang Junduo, "Every breeze, every ray of sunshine, every grass and every dew bead in this little universe is not considered ‘you’, but all the ‘ecosystems’ that make up together are your heart, your consciousness, your soul - is that acceptable? ”

Li Yao shrugged for a moment and nodded slowly.

“But a long time ago, initially, such ‘ecosystems’ did not exist. ”

Longyang Junduo, “At that time, as a ‘tool' or ‘carrier' man, deep in his brain was just a bare, lifeless planet, an absolutely deserted and silent world, a small universe with no half heat and fluctuations, at most there were some unconscious fluctuations, like wind, rain, lightning, shaking mountains.

“Perhaps, however, it was at the birth of the planet, deep in the ablaze of the ocean, implanted with 'seeds of life', or meteorites from outside the sky, that gave wonderful gifts, in short, after a long period of time, ancient life gradually appeared on these dead and silent planets.

“Life is growing more and more complex, blending with each other, devouring, dividing and evolving, and slowly transforming the deserted planet, unifying the dead earth with colorful moss, growing large trees from moss, full of cumbersome fruits and nourishing countless living spirits… all together form an extremely complex and sophisticated ecosystem, this system, the divine soul of man. ”

Li Yao was stunned.

“Extraterritorial celestials are like cells. ”

Longyang Junduo, "Your body is made up of tens of millions of cells, and your divine soul is made up of tens of millions of extraterritorial celestial demons. Neither individual cells nor single extraterritorial celestial demons are you, but millions of cells and extraterritorial celestial demons gather together to form your flesh and flesh body and powerful divine soul.

“Flesh and blood can get sick, can be invaded by foreign viruses and bacteria, and can even grow variants like 'cancer cells', leading to self-destruction.

“By the same token, the extraterritorial celestial demons themselves don't care about good or bad, grass eats dew and sunshine, sheep eats grass, wolves eat sheep, there is no good or evil here - as long as they collectively form a sufficiently balanced food chain to sustain the orderly functioning of the entire ecosystem.

“However, the consequences would be unthinkable once some kind of heinous alien species entered the ecosystem, crushing the fragile ecological balance. ”

Li Yaoxin moved, "That is, the so-called 'invasion of the celestial demons’ is not so simple that an extraterritorial celestial demon devours a person's soul, but that ‘some’ alien celestial demons invade a closed ecosystem in a person's brain, leading to the destruction or even collapse of the entire ecosystem, with catastrophic consequences? ”

“Exactly. ”

Longyang Junduo, “The name of the extraterritorial celestial demon has too strong a derogatory colour. It often makes people think of it as the existence of darkness, evil, bloodthirsty. I prefer the term 'chaos’, so called chaos, which means that it doesn't matter whether it is right or evil, good or evil, light is it, darkness is it, good is it, evil is it.

“Everyone always has many thoughts of goodness and malice in their minds, regardless of their hearts or minds, but most of the time, everyone can control their own malice, which is like an ecosystem where wolves, sheep, grass and sunshine coexist, maintaining a delicate balance.

“But ‘demons descend', as if meteorites bring a virus that has never appeared in this ecosystem, instantly leading to the destruction or even collapse of the entire system, which is' demonization ’in the usual sense.

“The strength and weakness of the divine soul is, in my view, the complexity of this ecosystem.

“The simpler the ecosystem, the more fragile it is, as if it were an ecosystem of only four elements: wolf, sheep, grass, and sunlight. Just add an alien variable randomly and it will collapse. This variable does not even need a tiger and lion with teething claws, it only needs a few insignificant bacteria that can cause a large area of grass to die.

“The soul of ordinary people is this‘ simple and fragile ecosystem ', so in the event of the arrival of the demons, just some of the lowest levels of demons are enough to cause the brains of hundreds of thousands and millions of people to collapse simultaneously and become' demons'.

“Through cultivation, the spirits become stronger and stronger, equivalent to the growing complexity of this ecosystem, really becoming a vibrant planet, inhabited by tens and hundreds of billions of different creatures. One or two exotic bacteria or organisms in the region are simply not enough to destroy the entire ecosphere, even if they are quickly grasped by tens of thousands of food chains, digested and absorbed as part of the ecosystem.

“The reason you are able to devour the enormous amount of phantom energy left behind by the heavenly demon Mo Xuan and the light dust of the heavenly demon Lu is because of the high complexity of your ‘ecosystem', its strong resistance to erosion and assimilation, and after adjusting the structure of the food chain, you organically fit the 'alien species' into it, transforming it into a 'local species', and restoring the ecological balance.

“So there is no need to deal with the question of whether extraterritorial celestials invade the depths of their own gods or not. Extraterritorial celestials are not terrible in themselves, just like our cells and the flora that live in our intestines, and the terrible thing is that the entire ecosystem is out of balance, moving towards collapse and destruction! ”

Li Yaomou listened. Until this moment, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: “This kind of theory is truly unheard of and refreshing! ”

“Of course I've never heard of it, because it's what I'm talking about! ”

Longyang's eyes sparkled brightly and filled with impatient light. "Is it true or not, I can't wait to jump to the center of the star sea to find the answer now!

“Oh, I've been talking for such a long time. If we continue this conversation, maybe we'll be locked up by the Federation starship. Oh, I'm leaving. Go find it... No, it's to create my mission, Li Yao. If you want to continue this conversation, come to the center of the star sea and find me! ”

There is a blue ripple above the screen, like a clear bouquet of flowers.

“Hopefully by then...”

Longyang King stared deeply at Li Yiu and said, “Can you tell me what your ‘mission' is? No, it's not a mission that someone else has given you, but a real mission that you created for yourself!

By the time the last “mission” was put out, the light had changed from blue to snow, and Longyang Jun and the seat behind her were all covered in pungent white light, like a complete melt.

In her shadowy murmur, Li Yao saw an incredible scene through the remaining hundreds of surveillance lenses set around the perennial ice field.

An octopus-like blue bouquet of flowers blossomed over the ice field in a tumultuous cloud. The petals stretched all the way over the surrounding horizon, wrapped in spirals and erected a bridge extending deep into the star sea.

“Shh!”

A beautiful stream of light emerges from the void, along this bridge, instantly emitting out of the Nine Sky Clouds, out of the Dark Nebula, disappearing - into endless stars before all the Federation starships react!

“Longyang Jun...”

The spectacular bouquet of blue flowers in the sky gradually faded away, as a brilliant blue light splashed over the earth, like a thousand miles of ice sealed earth, all surrounded by beautiful polar lights.

Li Yaoxiang looked at everything, but his thoughts gradually grew to the last sentence before he left.

“Was it not the mission that was entrusted to me, but my own creation… a true mission? ”
