MTL - Evolved From Polluting the World-Chapter 128 origin, finite, infinite
"The furnace... How big is the furnace?"
In the cold and silent darkness, a voice sounded. Calm and light.
"The size of the furnace cannot be described by scale. Maybe, on the surface, it is about half the size of the fairy world. But in fact, it can hold everything you know." A voice replied. The last voice.
In the darkness, a gleam of light appeared.
Afterwards, the silhouette gradually formed. Qiao Xun stood on a fragment of the fairyland, looking at the bright starry sky and the furnace in the distance. He didn't speak, just watched silently.
Yu Xiaoshu walked out from behind him and smiled slightly,
"During this period of time, you have been looking at what is happening from the perspective of a bystander. Presumably, you have gained a lot."
Qiao Xun said expressionlessly,
"Yes, I have gained a lot."
The biggest gain is to connect everything that happens on Earth.
Evolution, the "tower", the resurrection of gods, the scavengers, the sight, the primordial gods, the primordial nature... All of these are connected to each other, and together they promote a key and open a lock. As for this lock, what is locked will be revealed by the furnace.
he asks,
"Why is the Earth the Promised Land?"
Yu Xiaoshu thought about it and said,
"I have been thinking about this problem for a lot of time. Although the basic structure of the earth is no different from other finite worlds, it is completely different from the finite world. There is no boundary, no natural destination, like a perfect gem. However, this A piece of precious jade is placed on the table without any protection. Everyone can easily enter the earth and do whatever they want... The earth is like a hodgepodge of myths, where you can find any other myth elements of the world."
When she said this, she slowed down, her eyes became a little delusional,
"The earth world is a very young world, and many characters in myths are older than it, but... no one knows how it appeared. It just appeared in the long void without warning. It doesn't make a sound, and by the time people find it, it's already on a scale. The earth is so delicate, so delicate that it's as if someone had deliberately fabricated it."
"Someone deliberately fabricated it..."
Yu Xiaoshu nodded,
"Yes, at least, that's what I think."
This is a difficult point of view to corroborate. After all, without knowing how the earth was born, it is natural to find no relevant evidence.
Qiao Xun asked again,
"Why does the furnace of origin exist?"
Yu Xiaoshu replied,
"Before understanding this problem, we need to understand what 'origin' is."
"Isn't that a higher-level existence? It should be more difficult to understand."
Yu Xiaoshu shook his head,
"That's not the case. The origin, the origin of life, and the origin of the melting pot are three ways that once you understand one, you can immediately understand the other two. In comparison, the origin itself is easy to understand."
Qiao Xun listened attentively.
Yu Xiaoshu said,
"Origin is a process from 'nothing' to 'being'. Although we cannot understand 'nothing' here as infinite, but 'being', to a certain extent, can be regarded as limited. Therefore, origin Before being finite. For a thing, our understanding process must be accompanied by discovery, feeling and thinking. From the origin to the finite process, the same is true, what needs to be discovered, what needs to be felt, what needs to be thought, and finally can be understood.” She patted her chest, "In my definition, finiteness is Origin's understanding of 'existence'. The moment Origin understands 'existence', finiteness is born."
Qiao Xun thought seriously about what Yu Xiaoshu said. These words, as the deep thinking of the second finite world, are of very high value.
He is very humble and maintains a heart of learning.
Yu Xiaoshu went on to say,
"Original life... Although we use 'life' to describe it, in fact, it is different from our concrete and conceptual life. Originating life is the product of the process from origin to finiteness. The so-called 'discovery', 'feeling' and 'thinking'. Of course, it is not excluded that this process is not limited to these three kinds of life. But I can observe only these three kinds of life. I have already told you before, Yihong, as the original demon, is the 'feeling' of the origin. After her, the demon is the limited 'feeling'."
Joe asked,
"Yihong's body is a vertical pupil, shouldn't it be 'discovery'?"
Yu Xiaoshu shook his head,
"Don't use limited thinking to understand the origin. Think about it, did the eye come first, or did the 'discovery' come first?"
"Eye?"
"How was the eye discovered?"
"Wait, this question is a bit confusing..." Qiao Xun raised a hand to stop.
Yu Xiaoshu shook his head,
"You don't have to fall into such a low-level thinking cycle. Don't simply interpret 'discovery' as a kind of vision. Besides, the eye of Yihong's body is not used to see things." She looked at Qiao Xun strangely, "Didn't she tell you that her vertical pupil can't see anything?"
Qiao Xun was stunned for a while. It was indeed the first time he knew,
"I didn't say..."
"..." Yu Xiaoshu was speechless, "I thought the two of you were already talking about everything."
"Well, my relationship with her isn't that good, it's just that we are closely connected in a special way. To be more strict, we're not even friends."
"Okay, I misjudged." Yu Xiaoshu didn't care, and continued the previous topic, "You can think of it this way, 'discovery' is a kind of self-knowledge of Origin. After all, you must know your own existence before you can know other things. exist."
"I understand now."
"Do you really understand? Or, I just understand this sentence..." Yu Xiaoshu expressed doubts. After all, there is a big difference between knowing a sentence and knowing what the speaker wants to express when he says it.
Qiao Xun looked at his head and said dumbly:
"If it was in the past, then I probably could only stay at the level of understanding this sentence. But now, I can really understand."
"Is there such a strange thing?"
Qiao Xun laughed and said,
"Probably because I was injured before and became wiser during the period of cultivation."
Yu Xiaoshu looked at him suspiciously,
"Don't pretend that you don't understand."
"of course not…"
Qiao Xun did not lie. But it didn't make it any clearer. In fact, his transformation was realized when he completed the feeling of "his life in the eyes of a great being". It is precisely because of stepping on the seven golden long steps, and because of having re-experienced his life from a real perspective, that he can complete his transcendence and breakthrough.
It's just that he hasn't been able to really touch the great existence in the depths of his consciousness.
Yu Xiaoshu spreads his hands,
"Okay, just pretend that you really understand. Let's continue... Cough, where did you say it?"
"The 'discovery' of the origin is the knowledge of the self."
"Okay, then, 'feeling', is the knowledge outside the self. Can you understand?"
"Can...cough, don't teach me like a student." Qiao Xun said seriously, "As long as you can say it, I can understand. You don't have to ask it every time."
Yu Xiaoshu raised his eyebrows and became more suspicious.
"You were not like this before. If I say something, you are dumbfounded..."
"I'm not what I used to be."
"Okay. I'm glad I've grown up."
"…"
Yu Xiaoshu continued,
"Then there is 'thinking'. 'Thinking' is the key to the evolution, development and progress of the finite world. It can be said to be the creator of the finite." She looked at the broken fairyland, "and all along, buried in the fairyland That originating life is 'thinking'. Unfortunately, 'thinking' has now been cast into a furnace of origin, otherwise you can see its contemplative appearance."
"Why is 'Thinking' buried in the fairy world?" Qiao Xun asked.
Yu Xiaoshu said,
"This is to ask who chose the big stage in the fairy world."
"'tower'?"
"Yes. The 'Tower' buried 'Thinking' here." Yu Xiaoshu looked far away, as if recalling something, "If I hadn't discovered it earlier, probably Yihong would have been buried here as well, becoming this statue. A corner of the melting pot of origin. The reason why I chose it in the fairyland is only because after the mythical calendar was broken, the fairyland is a stable and limited world with the most abundant resources."
"So, what is the Origin Furnace, and why does the 'Tower' recast the Origin Furnace?"
Yu Xiaoshu said,
"Originating life, making origin limited, it can only be limited. Originating life can't do more. But limited is a kind of disability."
"Incomplete?" Qiao Xun heard this for the first time.
Yu Xiaoshu said,
"We say that anything in the finite world is a tragedy because of the existence of fate. But survival is a description of the finite itself, including fate. In a long enough time, whatever happens in the finite Everything can be known. Fate is the only existence that knows everything in the finite world. Therefore, we attribute all tragedies to the fault of fate. It is fate, which reveals the limited imperfection. This imperfection , there is a very typical example of myth to refer to."
She took a breath and said:
"Nuwa created humans. Nuwa used clay to knead a clay figurine, and the clay figurine became a human when alive. In theory, as long as Nuwa has an infinite lifespan, she can create infinite people, but it is impossible for Nuwa to have an infinite number of people. With infinite lifespan, it is naturally impossible to create infinite people. Therefore, the number of people must be predictable. There must be a way for people to appear without relying on all external factors such as Nuwa's fabrication. There are 'infinite people' in the realization of it. Such is the mutilation of the finite world, there is no way for things to be born by themselves without relying on external factors."
Qiao Xun understood what Yu Xiaoshu wanted to express,
"So, the crucible of origin is a tool to mend this incomplete... In other words, a tool to find the way to be born?"
"Yes."
"Can this kind of defect really be repaired?"
Yu Xiaoshu smiled,
"I don't know if it can be repaired. If it is repaired, the finite will become infinite."
"Original to finite, finite to infinity...Is this a process?"
Yu Xiaoshu nodded,
"Everyone wants to reach the infinite, and the reason they want to reach the infinite is to escape fate. But in fact, the infinite and the finite have never been independent. With the finite. How does the finite discover, feel and think about the infinite? That’s the real problem to solve.”
She shook her head helplessly,
"Thinking about this is too unrealistic, and the things in front of you still haven't come to fruition."
Qiao Xun smiled. He then expressed his doubts,
"Yihong's body is the 'feeling' of the origin, and the material for this furnace is the 'thinking' of the origin. Then, what about the 'discovery'? Do you know?"
Yu Xiaoshu said,
"'Discovery' is the origin's knowledge of the self. It can be said that without 'discovery', everything we have said before is an unsupported fantasy. For 'discovery', I can determine its meaning, its existence... But I really don't know where the 'discovery' is, what kind of form it is, whether it is like 'feeling' and exists with life as a carrier, or is it like 'thinking', which is already dry."
She smiled,
"Don't worry too much about this, what should appear will eventually appear."
"You're right." Qiao Xun nodded.
Yu Xiaoshu looked at Qiao Xun seriously, she walked around Qiao Xun.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Xun asked.
"You seem to have really become a little different."
"where?"
Yu Xiaoshu pondered for a while,
"More...more real?"
"Real...how do you see it?"
"That is to say, in the past, I always thought, would you be just a host, a container of some kind of existence. Now, I'm sure, you are you!"
Qiao Xun was curious,
"Why do you think so?"
"After all, your identity is too strange. The collection of the seven original sins of desire... how strange it is to think about it. Why are the seven original sins gathered together, what is the meaning, and what is the purpose? It is because you don't know why, so your existence is just There's a false sense of a castle in the sky. It's like it was deliberately fabricated."
"You think I'm real now, do you understand the meaning of the seven original sins coming together?"
Yu Xiaoshu shook his head,
"No, you don't need to understand. The feeling you give me now is that it is natural that the seven original sins come together."
"Really strange thought."
Yu Xiaoshu said with a smile,
"I can only say, you are more attractive to me. Remember what I said to you before? You are absolutely specific, I am an absolute concept. …”
"This kind of statement is like saying that something must happen between us." Qiao Xun groaned, "What's the difference with those infatuated who say 'you and I are a match made in heaven'?"
"It's not necessarily that something will happen. But, if something has to happen, we are the most suitable." Yu Xiaoshu smiled, "Of course, it is 'if'."
After she finished speaking, she walked away a little, smacked her mouth, and said cheerfully,
"I always feel like I've said a lot of things at once, and my mouth is dry. Well, I'll send you here. The fairy world has collapsed, and I, who rely on the core of the fairy world, can't hold it anymore."
Qiao Xun paused, and then he realized that Yu Xiaoshu in front of him was just her in the fairy world.
he asks,
"Then, when are you coming?"
"What me! You've known me for so long, don't you understand that me in every world is me! It's just that the me of the earth is the me of the least book."
"...Okay, when will you come, Yu Xiaoshu?"
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said:
"almost there!"
After speaking, she collapsed along with the collapse of the fairy world.
Seeing that she suddenly collapsed, for a moment, Qiao Xun was a little nervous.
He exhaled, looked at the Origin Furnace, and then looked at a huge starship in the crack of a finite world in the distance. After thinking about it, he still chose to go to that starship first.
