Chapter 9 Followers and Seekers 5200
If the act of admirers "advance" towards the place where they admire their object is called "chasing".
Then, the act of the strong to constantly explore the "target" in an unknown ocean that is almost unknown can be called "search".
Whether it is pursuit or search, there is no difference between high and low in nature. There is a way to find, both the goal and the purpose are exactly the same. However, the meaning of this behavior itself is completely different - or to put it this way, a bit arrogant, but the former is only passive and dragged forward, while the latter is actively moving forward and embarking on the journey on his own.
No one is stronger than anyone, no one is higher than anyone, and the latter is even more likely to be confused and lose direction... However, the latter is easier to "understand" the goals they are looking for and their own paths, but this is undoubtedly true.
Unless the former realizes that the existence you admire is the most respectable one among the peaks of life, it does not mean that you cannot overcome the goal you surpass. Perhaps only by holding such "arrogance" or "confidence" can those who admire find their own path.
But Joshua doesn't need this process.
From beginning to end, he was "searching" the place of sages, rather than "chasing" the other party's footprints.
His goal is to become an existence that can be compared with sages and even surpass sages, rather than becoming a new sage. In this regard, the power of emotion is his first step to grasp the back of sages and the cornerstone of the future.
In the spiritual realm, countless races in the star world have accumulated for thousands of years, and tens of thousands of years of emotional vortex is burning. Among them, there are the guilt of dying people towards their families, the unwillingness of the elderly to die, the only trace of attachment to their children before returning to their hometowns, the unreasonable jealousy of crazy people, the perverted desire to destroy the world by the aging people, and the resolute and pure disappointment of the depressed people with this world.
Beautiful, ugly, twisted, clean, persistent, indifferent - in the multiverse, I am afraid that it is the first extraordinary power created by civilization to transform the world. The power of spiritual energy is gathering, which resonates with life itself, and then ignites nearly infinite flames, and under the hammer of the giant gods from another world and the strongest spiritual holder in this world, it turns into four nearly substantial divine rings.
Where does ‘God’ come from and what is it?
A long time ago, when Joshua looked up at the starry sky of Mycrov with the God of Luck and Despair, he was thinking about this question and trying to answer it in his own way to replicate the power of God.
He created matter, life, world, his own family, and even revived the memories of civilization in the chaos, creating the heroic spirit of civilization. Except for the narrow definition of not God, Joshua did everything he did was enough to earn him the honorable name of God.
Even in the world of stars, he has been worshipped by the Atrium as a new god.
But at the beginning, Joshua, who had done all this, could not understand the essence of God 100%. He originally thought that God was just an adjective. As long as he did something similar to God, he would be a god. Whether it was the God of Creation, the God of War, or the God of Destruction, they were all names that he could get.
But later, the warriors discovered that the essence of God is actually a higher-level life form, transcending ordinary civilization, like a strong artificial intelligence in humans.
This metaphor is not appropriate and accurate. The relationship between God and man and civilization is far from that simple. They are individuals who initially memetize themselves and obtain divine power from the source of the multiverse, far from being comparable to strong artificial intelligence. This cognition has reached the peak after Joshua completely cleansed up the chaotic memory in his body and suppressed his divinity. He obtained a lot of information and materials from his divinity that could not have been obtained. After all, he could not find one of the seven gods and let them perform on the verge of losing control for him to see.
But now, Joshua has begun to practice in reality based on his own thinking.
The Ring of the Four Gods is exactly the practice of Joshua's understanding of God. Now it seems that the practice is very successful and proves that the warrior chose the right direction and that he can create a real god - although this is done by the external force of the emotional vortex of the star world, it is not important.
Importantly, Joshua has found a way to become a god without relying on the great source, without relying on the initial fire and divine power, and to explore the essence of memeticization! He can create several gods like he is now, observe their sublimation process, and then gradually enter the "fourth realm of life" without being bound by the initial fire.
"The main body of the Four Gods Rings has been roughly completed. The rest only needs to be gradually adjusted and forged by relying on the spiritual web of the star world."
As the transformation of the physical spirit ended, Joshua, who had ended the forging, put down the "hammer" in his hand. His huge soul body in the spiritual world began to gradually shrink, and then dissipate into nothing, leaving four balls of flames that had been refined to almost the limit, and the entity of the rune ring was rising and falling.
In the real world, the four-armed giant god opened his eyes, and in front of him, the incarnation of the immortal lighthouse, the psychic crystal ball, also lit up again.
"The extreme 'emotion' has been communicated to Dayuan and obtained corresponding divine power-although I am not very clear about what those essences are, whether they are destruction or battle, whether they are wisdom or conspiracy, but there is no doubt that the 'Ring of the Four Gods' has been successful, and it can be said to be a real 'artifact'."
This so-called artifact is not a vessel, weapon or other tool used by God, but a "object" that holds the "position of gods" and has no self-will - in other words, it is the four gods without self-will who rely on the emotions placed by countless civilizations in the vortex of burning the emotions, resisting the pull of the great source and maintaining the person of the divine power of the gods.
【Analysis: I understand your thoughts, Radcliffe, you want to create four gods through refining emotional power and governing the sea of psionic energy]
[Analysis: You want to rely on four artificial gods to do the work of suppressing chaos on your behalf - at least, you can do the work of extermination of chaos on your behalf when you are not here]
“Yes, that’s true.”
Joshua did not hide it. He nodded. The warrior looked around the dim Milky Way in front of him. He said calmly: "It is impossible for me to spend hundreds or thousands of years fighting chaos in the star world - even for decades or more than ten years, and my civilization is also facing the upcoming crisis. I can't even stay in the star world for a long time, I can only temporarily solve your urgent needs."
"I myself know that for a few months, or even years, it is almost negligible for the Galaxy-level battle, so I took another approach."
The ancients often said that it is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish. This is exactly what Joshua thought.
Instead of helping the star world to treat the symptoms but not the root cause to kill the Chaos clan of tens of thousands of galaxies, it is better to leave a powerful force to strengthen the atrium civilization and even the Galaxy Guardian Alliance so that the other party can have an advantage over Chaos. The "emotion" discovered by Joshua, which gathers the extraordinary power of the mixed power of spiritual energy and life energy, may be a good choice.
In fact, there are not many mixed superpowers. For example, the recent "divine power" used by the Patriarch of the Annihilation of the Thakur Order in the middle of the battle is the product of the mixture of divine power and psychic energy.
In the Grandia world, the extraordinary power "magic energy" used by most people was also a mixture of magic and life energy. The innate abilities used by some psychic warlocks were the mixture of psychic energy, magic or ether. The natural power itself was more in life energy, which was more in the type of etheric magic power, let alone fighting energy. Elemental fighting energy and holy light fighting energy had long become a system, which was a very traditional mix of life energy, elements and holy light.
By the way, there are magicians. Any magician must practice magic, elements and ether at the same time. There are basically no accidents. Many high-level magicians, even mixed products of three-type extraordinary powers, are extremely difficult.
However, this mixed and extraordinary power did not form a solid theoretical system building from beginning to end. Most of the mixed power was simply because the predecessors discovered that it could be used like this, so later generations continued to use it. Most of them practiced and used this power. They practiced together. They could debug it on the spot when needed. And in the end, due to energy issues, most people would choose a path to specialize in it, rather than taking both paths that they could not eat too much and chew.
The difference between the power of "emotion" is that from the very beginning, Joshua wanted to separate emotions from spiritual energy and life energy, as an experiment to try to create a new extraordinary power. It has a complete theoretical system, and from the beginning of practice, it is the unity of spiritual energy and life energy. The two are not distinguished from each other and can upgrade the realm together. The four gods in the star world, and even all individuals who want to choose this path in the future are the voluntary observation and experiments of Joshua.
With the intelligent life calculated by Zhaojing as a reference, as a big data collection, Joshua can be sure that his exploration of the emotional system will definitely be faster than anyone imagined - backed by thousands or even tens of thousands of civilizations, backed by the entire super-large galaxy world, the so-called symbiotic relationship between the strong and the civilization is like this. The strong provide a beautiful possibility, and the latter perfectly shapes it into a truly extraordinary power system!
all in all.
Under the guidance of the four major categories represented by the Ring of the Four Gods, in theory, any wisdom can awaken emotional power. In addition, they are likely to have a foundation of spiritual power, and the practice of emotional power will definitely be faster and stronger. In this case, when the collective power advances to the next level, it will only be a matter of time before the civilization suppression or even counterattack against chaos in the star world, which is far more difficult than Joshua himself who has to deal with it.
Of course, the real way to treat the symptoms and root causes in Qiao Xiuya is actually to kill all the evil gods - where do so many twists and turns to kill the guys who create problems? Wouldn't the problem not exist?
However, judging from the current situation, the world of stars has all the family members. Although there are many, they are not irreversible. If the triple curtain had not been to protect the wisdom civilization of the entire world and suppress the emotional vortex, the three of them should be able to cope with the current situation. If there was any evil god, the situation of the Galaxy Guardian Alliance would definitely be more than ten times more miserable.
However, just as Joshua closed his eyes and controlled the large number of metal Dyson balls and battleships he had made before, and wiped out the surrounding chaos, the Immortal Lighthouse raised a question.
[Comment: Very perfect idea, Radcliffe, you are indeed the successor of the sage, you have surpassed most extraordinary people and walked at the forefront of the limit]
[Testion: So far, in the star world, the number of civilizations with compound extraordinary power was found to be 762, the number of civilizations that excavate their power was 27, the number of civilizations that built a theoretical system was 3, and the number of civilizations that analyzed their essence was zero. Your arrival is indeed a great strengthening of the star world. Supporting the atrium's summoning plan is the most correct choice for the triple curtain]
【Question: However, your plan still has a very serious problem]
"I know what you're talking about."
The giant god nodded, indicating that he had already known, Joshua's expression remained unchanged, and even smiled, answered: "You want to say that the 'Four Gods Rings' have been forged into shape and holds god-level power, but they do not have their own will, so they are easily affected by emotions, right?"
The Immortal Lighthouse has no answers, because this is an obvious question.
Just as the sea of psychic energy will be polluted by the souls of countless dead people, the emotional vortex itself is also an extremely impure force. Even if it is extracted by Joshua and the triple curtain, it is easily polluted by the emotions of all living beings. After all, they are existences born from all living beings.
To explain it in a simpler way, that is, the Four Gods Rings are just objects, not life. Although their power is powerful, they can serve as a beacon to guide the emotional practitioners in the star world to continue to climb upwards, make the longing follow the light, and make the curious find the way, but their weakness lies in this: the emotions of all living beings can also affect them.
If most of the emotions of sentient beings in the world of stars are kind, then the courageous call is the courage of courage, the wisdom call is the wisdom call, the perseverance is perseverance, and the love is full of determination.
But if on the contrary, most of the emotions of sentient beings in the world of stars are malicious, then courage will turn into hatred and madness, wisdom will turn into greed and indulgence, those who were once firm will become stubborn, and those who were once passionate will become jealous.
Everyone does good, God’s precepts do good, everyone does evil, God’s precepts do evil. This is the difficulty of not having self-wisdom. After all, emotions are two sides of one body. Such unconscious gods are really too easily affected by others, and it is likely that they can even complete the reversal of the good and evil camp in just one day.
“It’s easy to solve it.”
So Joshua replied naturally: "Why did I make it the rings look like? It is because they will look for their owners themselves - or, I know, one day in the future, someone will wear these rings."
As Joshua, the most powerful and proudest thing for him. He had long thought about all the problems that the Ring of the Four Gods had encountered and had come up with a solution.
The Four Gods Rings are easily influenced by others, so let’s have a few firm will that are so firm that they will not change at all even when facing the emotional vortex. Wouldn’t it be enough to master these four rings?
Isn’t the ring just for people to wear? It’s not surprising that you don’t have hands, it’s not surprising to be a pendant.
The seed, the practice of "emotional power", trains the spirit and the body. If someone can practice in the future to the point where he can come into contact with the four gods' rings in the spiritual realm, then his willpower and ability can definitely become a true god in the world of Mycrov - the standards of the strong are common, and this is the same in the entire multiverse.
"If you enter the will of the 'divine artifact', you will naturally become a god."
As he said this, Joshua lowered his head, closed his eyes, and eight figures representing the Seven Gods appeared in his mind. After a moment of silence, he opened his eyes and whispered to himself: "This is what I understand, the method achieved by the 'artificial God'... Perhaps, this is the origin of the 'Seven Gods', which is why sages can use the remaining souls of their disciples and friends to resurrect them and become gods."
"Or it is the method of transcending the original god, the god of heaven and earth, the faith god, and the true 'true god'."
——I can probably understand the original thoughts of the sages.
Thinking of this, Joshua turned his head and looked at the immortal lighthouse. He smiled and said, "I have brought an 'emotional system' to the world of stars, and you and your companions should find people who can lead this system forward and improve. This is the division of labor between you and me... Speaking of which, I just met your two companions, and I will make an official visit next time."
After all, the "three-fold curtain" intelligence of the "life custody program" is, in a sense, the intelligent program left by the psychic sage is the other party's inheritor - this is different from the knowledge takeover who knows how many generations of the Demon Sage inheritor. Although the other party has not wandered in the multiverse and may have less knowledge, the original information stored in the triple custody is definitely enough!
——Find an opportunity, and let these two meet... The Demon Sage is the first sage that emerged from the great dynasty of civilization after the spiritual sage. There must be many things between the inheritors of these two civilizations that can confirm each other and obtain more truth.
We will send a message to the sacrificial grounds of all worlds to see if we can get the knowledge takeover to send some senior officials over there.
Joshua thoughtfully, if the Mycrov civilization could represent the inheritors of sages, then this would be the grand occasion of the three inheritors of sages. I don’t know if there were ancient people in the history of the multiverse.
[Agree: No problem, second, first curtain is looking forward to your visit]
The Immortal Lighthouse replied immediately, but soon he expressed his doubts.
【Question: Radcliffe, what's going on? You're in a daze]
"……fine."
When communicating with the Immortal Lighthouse, Joshua, who was suddenly stunned, blinked his eyes. The giant steel god turned his head and looked at the side of the bright Milky Way in the dark universe. His tone was quite strange. While he was confused, he said with obvious joy: "I really didn't expect how long it took."
