Soul of Burning Steel

Star pendant 837, June 15th, the sound of strokes across the paper rustled, the light of the fluorite lamp projected onto the desk, glowing with a warm light golden light.

In the study on the second floor of the Lord's Mansion of Moldavia, there was a rare sound of writing, and the sound of steady and regular breathing came along with it, proving that the writer's thinking was clear and smooth.

It can be seen that it is a neat and white letter paper with a good workmanship. A large hand is holding a pen. It is not fast to use on it, but a series of characters are written at a very stable speed.

【The Most Saint Igel: On the Essence of the Soul’s Ultimate Meaning】

This is the beginning of the letter, and then there is a large swath of text, because the first page has just been turned, so I can only look at the beginning of the second page.

"Based on the above conclusions, you should also understand my views and the vocabulary used to describe them."

There is no fancy in the characters of the pen holder. He writes as if a machine is running, and every stroke is exactly the same as the standard font. Even with a magnifying glass, he can’t find the slightest difference. With this regular rhythm, he continues It wrote: "I can say this: the normal human brain is hardware, so the soul is an additional virtual processor that can optimize the operation of the hardware. Self-awareness can load memory and genetic instincts by operating the hardware of the brain. This database makes the whole body move."

"However, the hardware has its limits. The fragile human brain cannot be overloaded... and whether it is the breathing cycle of vindictiveness or the operation of magical runes, it needs to occupy a lot of resources, at subsonic and supersonic speeds. During the battle, the human brain can no longer handle this calculation speed. At this time, the soul will take over part of the work and process part of the information."

"In the training of the White Dragon Knights, I used the power of steel to detect every change that each of them made during the training battle, no matter the soul or the vitality... In high-intensity training, the brain will be affected by life energy. Or the magic power can protect and maintain its overload operation, but when it comes to fighting, the brain will not be overloaded, because then the soul will take over the body instead of the brain."

"This is a qualitative change...Silver Yaoling, at this stage, the soul will be moisturized by energy and develop at a high speed. When the fighters can release fighting energy and the mage can control the energy outside, their souls will all mature,' The abilities such as'the sixth sense','danger prediction, the way of sincerity, and the eyes of the heart' are basically developed at this stage."

When writing this, the person holding the pen paused. He seemed to be thinking about the wording. After a while, he re-took the pen: "The soul grows with the growth of extraordinary power. At the gold level, it is not optimized. The algorithm of the brain takes over all the complex calculations, and after the extreme intention and even the legendary advancement, even the brain is not necessary and can be discarded at any time."

"I have every reason to come to such a conclusion: the soul is an organ evolved by humans in order to master the transcendence. It was not present at the birth of our species, but evolved under a high-concentration energy environment. The soul is ordinary. Part of human consciousness, but it is the entirety of most transcendents-its existence itself is the manifestation of the'superior power' and the'initial fire' in the human beings created by the'power of steel' and'life force', The fusion of fire and steel power."

"The so-called ultimate meaning of the soul is when the soul completely frees itself from all shackles and becomes an independent individual."

At this time, the writer's writing became heavy: "At that time, the original concept of'humanity' has disappeared, and new and sublimated'soul humans' have appeared. They may still have flesh, but that It is no longer the subject of life."

"This is my view of the'soul' and the'extreme meaning of the soul'."

"—Joshua Van Radcliffe."

The letter is complete, and the pen holder, Joshua, put it in the envelope. On the envelope, the brilliant magical light flickered. In an instant, the envelope was turned into ashes in the ever-changing magical light, and in a certain distance, a letter with exactly the same content was slowly emerging in a fine crystal array. .

During the recent period, Iger has been very busy, and the old pope has done much more work than others: whether it is the fortress of the holy mountain or the birth of the seven gods, all of these are his work, and because of this, he used to often Joshua, who is discussing with the other party and debating various issues of extraordinary power, now chooses to use letters to communicate with each other to exchange views.

Although the current communication array has developed to the point where it can even cross the mainland, Joshua feels that occasional nostalgia is not a bad thing. Anyway, there is a lot of time and writing is good. He put down the pen in his hand and got out of his seat. Standing up, the soldier sat on the sofa in the corner of the study, and then closed his eyes.

Now, Joshua has got his own soul's ultimate answer, but he is not ready to take this path.

For the vast majority of people in this world, the reason why the soul grows with the growth of strength is that the brain, as hardware, cannot process faster and faster various information, and as the key, the brain is often affected by the enemy. Targeted attacks, so abandon the brain and choose the soul is correct...but not always.

For example, Joshua—his hardware is harder than everyone else combined, and even the ‘divine nature’ of a virus that can assimilate consciousness is difficult to erode.

The head is harder than the warrior’s head, perhaps only the python of steel. The body of this great will is actually the whole world. The world is the purest creation of steel, and its soul is naturally the purest fire. Cohesion is also the fusion of fire and steel. It's just a pity that the ‘world’ cannot be used as an organ of thinking, so the steel python still uses the soul to think.

Qiao Xiuya and the steel python are different from other ordinary people. At this time, his body is completely composed of degenerate substances. No matter what the overload is, it is impossible to cause any damage to this substance. There is no need to use this This kind of substance, you only need to assemble a supercomputer for yourself with a special inferior super alloy to carry your own meaning and soul, then his pure calculation speed will surpass most legends, if the soul is assisted, it can even be Reach the level of an'unexplored prophet'.

But through the soul, Joshua, who has no vitality for the time being, does not intend to recreate a vital vitality and weakness for himself. His plan is to allow each part of his body to have independent computing power and independence. Survivability: Even a drop of blood, a bit of debris, a touch of dust can perform calculations, reorganization, self-replication... Doesn't it sound familiar? A drop of blood can multiply a race, and a little bit of debris can transform most of the world. Even if it has been dead for a thousand years, the remaining thought particles can still form a mist of God, and can preserve most of the thinking and memory——

This is the ‘perfect body’ of the ancient dragon and the ‘immortal soul’ of the gods. The two beings that stand almost at the top of life have almost immortal powers and are praised and worshipped by the people of the world.

Taking the representative abilities of the two as a reference, supplemented by the sage Faina’s "mass-to-spirit transformation equation", Joshua is also preparing to create his own, unique and immortal power-when this power comes true, Then even if the ashes of the warrior were destroyed by bombardment, he could be reborn from the debris of his body anytime and anywhere. His soul is his body, and his body can also be converted into his soul.

At that time, unless Joshua's whole body and soul are completely annihilated and there is no matter left, then he cannot be killed, at most he will be sealed, and he will wait for the day when he comes back.

After clarifying his thoughts once again, Joshua nodded and then opened his eyes. He has set his next development goals and path until he achieves 100% assimilation of the power of steel and advances to the legendary mid-level. , He will begin to perfect his'immortal power'.

At that time, what was waiting for him was an endless, legendary high-level advancing towards infinity.

"The time has come."

Standing up from the sofa, the soldier walked out of the study, and Joshua came to the top floor of the lord's mansion. The magnetic field was surging around him. He slowly rose up, and then accelerated in a safe area. The gust of wind blew all over his body and instantly surpassed the clouds.

Today is an agreed day. After the Borderless Heaven was completely merged into the Mykrov world and became a stable subspace above the West Mountain, one of the seven human gods, the gods of power and justice, would treat the three northern empires. The legend issued an invitation letter, and the gods used an equal tone to invite everyone to meet him in the center of the most northern blank sea in the world to discuss some issues about the future of this world.

Joshua doesn’t care about the future of this world. In his opinion, the current Mycroft world is good enough. Deliberate intervention will cause undesirable results. Gods and legends only need to maintain order and stability. It can guarantee the normal progress of the world... But he is very interested in the Seven Gods, to be precise, Joshua is very interested in the'Gods'.

He wants to know what kind of life forms these gods are, and what are they? Why is it so powerful? The order cycle shaped by divinity allows them to maintain self-awareness under the erosion of the great source of the multiverse. What is the mystery of this cycle?

If God is the opponent, what exactly can he reach now?

Because of this curiosity, Joshua simply agreed, and set off at this time, flying towards the far north of the world.

The dim silver light across the sky, over Nissia Snow Mountain, over the Arctic Icefield, over the Great Aias Mountains, the silver light is not conspicuous, but the light around it is slightly distorted, and in silence, he will I have come to the frozen ground covered by eternal snow and ice, on the shore of the frozen white ocean [Lazed Sea].

The cold from the end of the world spans the entire ice ocean belt and blows on the frozen ground along the coast. The long-lasting cold wind makes the glacier firm like iron. It is summer, but there is still no warming trend around the Mangland Sea. Mountain-like icebergs stand tall on the sea, and the ten thousand-foot ice cliffs are full of time marks-these are mountains formed by the accumulation of blizzards day after day. Their existence itself means the collection of all the snowfalls in the sea for thousands of years. .

Choosing to meet in this place is mainly to avoid other people watching. In addition, the gods and legendary powers resonate slightly with each other, which may lead to terrible natural disasters. Therefore, it is best to choose a place where no one is inhabited. The possible hidden dangers are reduced to a minimum.

It doesn’t take much time to find the location of the opponent. Qiao Xiu looked around, and a restrained but still terrifying energy wave appeared before his eyes. It presented a complex form in the energy vision, like a circle. The dark gray kaleidoscope that is constantly rotating and never repeats the shape. As Joshua approaches, this complex energy kaleidoscope begins to condense, and finally forms a continuously rotating black circle.

This is the center of the Lost Sea, but unlike the storm raging along the coast, it is unexpectedly calm. Joshua slowly landed here on a white frost plain without any towering obstructions around it, showing a slightly dim sunlight. After the clouds shone on the world, the soldier walked straight ahead after landing: an inconspicuous gray-haired knight was standing there, waiting for Joshua's arrival.

"They haven't come yet?"

Joshua walked slowly closer to this knight with scattered gray hair. His face was stiff, but his facial lines were slightly softer. The **** wore a strong and heavy full-body armor, engraved with delicate and detailed reliefs, black. His cloak quietly rolled behind him, without making a sound.

"No, Joshua, they've all been here."

The gray-haired knight, the **** of power and justice, the incarnation of Xing Zhengyu in the world replied. His voice is majestic, but it is not as serious as it used to be. The warrior can even hear a little relief: "I divided into three. At this point in time, I met with the three of you. Israel and Nostradamus have already met and talked with me and left. You are the last one."

"That's it."

Joshua was not surprised by this result, or he didn’t care. The warrior was staring at the human incarnation of the **** in front of him. At this time, it was not the same as meeting in the void. Beneath the gray-haired knight’s exorcism is the essence of the existence of the gods. It is the aggregation of their gods, divinity, and divine power. At this moment, Joshua can even hear the imperceptible prayers coming from the opponent. This quiet land is shrouded in a sacred atmosphere.

The two stood face to face with a distance of more than ten meters at this time. Both sides were carefully looking at Fang, observing the slightest bit of each other. This silence lasted for nearly five minutes. After five minutes, Joshua spoke slowly. : "Legend is the most powerful existence in the world. It is normal for the gods to want to know them after the lower realm... But I think you want to see us for such superficial reasons. Your Majesty Xing Zheng, what is your purpose? ?"

"Ask some questions, get some answers, determine some things, and, Joshua, you are indeed a lot stronger."

Nodded, Xing Zheng answered patiently, and nodded in admiration: "The last time I met you, the divinity in your body was still about to move, and now, your will and your body are integrated, and you are about to cross the biggest legend. The threshold... To say it is gratifying is too high to be self-esteem, but I am indeed very pleased because there is a strong man like you among human beings."

"Haha." Hearing a **** praising himself so bluntly, even Joshua couldn't help but stunned, and then laughed out loud, he shook his head and said: "Your Majesty Xingzheng, there are many legends, everyone does it for I am just one of them to protect the world and give."

"You should take this praise and rekindle the flames." Xing Zheng waved his hand indifferently. He ended the topic. God stood on the spot and looked up to the sky. This was when He was in the boundless world. Scenery that has never been seen before: "You ask my purpose, my purpose is very simple. When the seven gods were in the boundless universe, we were far away from the world, just fulfilling our duty to protect civilization and the world, but these days, I hide My identity has traveled half a continent, I have understood many things, and many more problems have arisen."

Putting his gaze down from the sky, Xing Zheng stared into Joshua’s eyes. His eyes shone with cold metallic luster, which was a dark gray divine brilliance. This divine power can dominate the atmosphere and dust simply by spilling. The reason why there is no violent wind in the middle of the lost sea, perhaps because of this trace of divine power, the **** of power said in an extremely serious tone: "Our gods are born to protect our own people and maintain order and civilization...Seven gods Join hands to maintain the order of the human world, and the gods of other races will protect their people. Before the threat of the evil god, we can live together peacefully and work together, but this situation cannot last forever, because even There were also contradictions among the seven gods, but they did not erupt due to various reasons."

"What contradiction?"

Qiao Xiuya couldn't help asking, his brow furrowed, and the warrior was quite puzzled: "You have worked together for a thousand years, and you have jointly resisted all kinds of foreign enemies, the **** of the orcs, and the **** of five-color dragons, so that the will of the world is your joint suppression. , The Lord of the Abyss also dare not create a second because of you... There will be contradictions between you?"

"It's not a mortal contradiction like grievances...Joshua, it's the most fundamental problem: we have different views on order."

Xing Zheng’s voice was calm. He understood this a long time ago, so he didn’t have any emotions: “Therefore, we cannot always join hands. All of us want to implement our own order. This is the biggest contradiction.”

Hearing this, Joshua couldn't help frowning slightly. He understood the so-called "different order" will bring about the difference in concepts. That is the overall difference in world outlook, outlook on life and values, but the three views of human beings cannot be completely different. , The order of the seven gods can never run contrary to each other-if so, they would have been fighting because of the civil war.

"Order can coexist. It is not the relationship between order and chaos. It has to be divided between birth and death." Thinking about this, Joshua said: "Your beliefs are not in the same area, and the contradiction is not big."

"...Perhaps so, but different orders will cause the division of civilizations. If we do not unite everyone under the same order and trend of thought, we will never be able to reach the same glorious stage as the Glory Era."

For Joshua’s understanding, Xing Zheng nodded and shook his head. He knew that the other party was right, but for various reasons, it was impossible to follow this statement.

"Order is a well-organized, well-organized and functioning society. It is stable, and there is continuity and consistency even if it changes... And a powerful force is the root of order."

While saying this, the **** of justice and power began to move in the direction of Joshua. He walked slowly and said to the soldier in a calm tone: "Justice is my definition of order. Without it, Society will be chaotic, degenerate and decay, and power is the root of my justice. Without it, justice will be fragile, and children will be able to cast aside sneers and treat them as a laughing stock."

"With the power to dominate everything, you can have the qualifications to regulate the world. Without the power, who can rule the good and evil in the world, and who can calm the chaos of society? Justice is powerless, and only power can defend it."

"Order is power, and power is justice."

At this point, Xing Zheng had already walked in front of Joshua. The **** and the warrior were facing each other. The distance between the two was less than half a meter. The cloak behind the gray-haired knight began to wave slowly. It was the warrior himself. As a symbol of the gravitational force beginning to fluctuate, He fell silent and stopped speaking.

The eyes of the mighty **** can no longer be seen. What burns in his eyes is only the dark gray light of divine power. At this time, he did not speak, but everything is more silent than sound. No matter who it is, he knows that the silence at this time is for What, what is the god's waiting for?

Joshua, what is your view of order?

Faced with this silent question, Joshua did not answer immediately. He first raised his head, looked at the sky, then dropped his gaze again, and returned to Xing Zheng's body-the **** of power was silent, he still Staring at the soldier, the two stared at each other for a long time before Joshua said slowly: "Your Majesty Xing Zheng."

"Are you planning to choose an heir?"

Seeing the **** of power suddenly stagnated for a moment, Qiao Xiya confirmed this, he sighed, and then whispered: "Just now I can see that the aura on your body is stronger than what I saw in the void before. It's a lot stronger... and in just a few minutes, you have become stronger for a moment at a speed that I can observe, you..."

Qiao Xiuya was not talking, because Xing was shaking his head at this time, he smiled and shook his head, interrupting the soldier's next words.

"No guessing, this is an inevitable result."

The **** said in an indifferent tone: "We have been looking for the awakened person for a long time. We have been consciously screening objects hundreds of years ago, just to guard against the current result... Hmph, let the two worlds merge while suppressing the world consciousness. Then it purifies the dead souls of the world. This kind of workload is indeed a bit too much."

Joshua was silent.

Because the priest of nature, because of the secrets of the descendants of the goddess of the earth, because of all kinds of knowledge, the warriors know clearly that the gods have all kinds of wonderful qualities...for example, the more powerful they are, the closer they are to destruction.

Gods are life because they can rely on their divinity to extract infinite power from the great source of the multiverse. They are extremely powerful from the beginning, immortal, immortal, and immortal, but because of this too much The power is so powerful that the divine nature will slowly assimilate the soul and will of the gods. The stronger the god, the more violent the assimilation will be.

The gods use other corresponding divinities and logics to form an orderly cycle to suppress this assimilation. The trend of thought brought about by faith can also help them alleviate the assimilation brought by the gods. If they want to become stronger, they must maintain this. This kind of cycle becomes stronger, which is equivalent to dancing with shackles. This speed is extremely slow. On the contrary, it doesn’t matter if it is injured. On the contrary, it can better allow the gods to maintain their own existence, but there will be no such gods who weaken themselves in order to guarantee themselves—— The reason why they want to become gods is not for this powerful force beyond almost all legends?

The most important thing for gods is not to use the power of ‘beyond boundaries’: for ordinary gods, their power is almost infinite, but this does not mean that they can be used. The size of the faucet is one, and the limit is the other. If the **** uses a divine power beyond his control, then he will be partly assimilated by the divine nature that suddenly becomes stronger-when the time comes, one will lose and the other will grow. The divinity is getting stronger and stronger, and the order cycle is getting weaker and weaker. Until the end, the **** will be completely assimilated and disappear in the great source of the multiverse, which is the so-called divine destruction.

Now, Xing Zheng is getting stronger at a speed that Joshua can observe. This is undoubtedly beyond the speed of God’s normal progress. There is only one explanation for this situation, that is, the **** of power in the previous actions, Used the power that transcends his own boundaries...He is being assimilated by the divine.

"It's not surprising, Joshua, who is extremely powerful. If it can be used to the extreme, it can even reverse the logic of reality and make two plus two equal five. How can this power be easily controlled?"

Xing Zheng himself has no sorrow, his expression is calm, and his tone even has a hint of lightheartedness: "Looking for the awakened by God... If you don't want to be assimilated by the divine nature, and become an unconscious order machine, let this power disappear in the multiverse source , Then this is the only option, I must look for successors."

"So, can you answer my question? Joshua, what is order for you?"

At this point, Xingzheng ushered in a silence. He waited in this silence, full of hope. Even if the answer was unsatisfactory, then he didn’t matter. The **** of power just wanted to know the answer from Radcliffe. He just wants to know this and has no other requirements.

But He did not wait for an answer.

Joshua remained silent. He and Xing were facing each other with no concealment, but he still did not speak. The soldiers disdain to say answers that he can't understand. He is unwilling to make answers that he can't be sure of. So at this time, he can only remain silent.

In the end, the gray-haired knight sighed, and Xing was slowly turning around. He said in a flat and non-ups and downs tone: "Joshua, we, the seven gods, all have high expectations for you."

"You are the fastest, strongest and most perfect transcendent in the history of the Mycroft world."

"In the entire history of the Glory Era and the Starfall Era, your power is second only to the sage, second only to the sage who can only look up to the gods and cannot understand his realm. You are the only one who is close to him and close to this general. The same order is promoted to the existence of the entire Mykrov world."

"We can't estimate your future, and we don't need to estimate... Your presence makes us very satisfied, very happy, and very happy. You can help us and guard the world on our behalf."

"But you haven't found your order."

Standing in the windless snow, Xing Zheng completely turned around, looked at the endless snow scene, shook his head slowly, and said softly: "Israel and Nostradamus have done a comparison on this point. Hello, they all have firm beliefs—not that you don’t, but they have the world they want to achieve and the order they want to achieve."

After that, Xing Zheng’s body collapsed, and the gray-haired knight turned into countless dark gray fragments. They revolved and condensed in mid-air like a nebula, and finally turned into a pure black floating ring, which was in mid-air. After spinning for a round, a majestic voice came from it.

"You are the person closest to the sage... I want to know your answer, the purpose is so simple."

Along with the almost imperceptible streamer, the black ring disappeared into the ice layer in the middle of the blank sea. As the pervasive divine power dissipated, the noisy north wind began to blow again, and the harsh gust of wind could be heard tearing the atmosphere, bringing a sharp sound. Joshua stood in the middle of the snowfield that had regained his voice, still bowing his head and frowning, and was silent.

"My order..."

After a long time, the warrior whispered to himself, and countless fragments flashed in his mind-about the battle, about the development, about the distant stars, and about the infinite world in the void... Joshua couldn't help but smile. , But then sighed slightly.

He understands the purpose of Xingzheng...but he still can’t give a reply~www.novelmtl.com~Qiao Xiuya sees too much, does too much, the warrior’s gaze spans countless worlds, and he has seen the atrium people. He has a peculiar view of time and fertility. He has seen the unique magic technology of migrating elves. Joshua’s eyes did not stay on Moldavia, or even on the continent of Mykrov. His eyes penetrated the multiverse. .

From such a broad perspective, how can he come up with an answer that covers all the ‘order’?

Although he said that, Joshua was not clueless. Several shadows flashed in his mind: the Foreign Development Department of the Empire, the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice, and Xiaoguang... He thought of a lot, becoming stronger, fighting, Continuous exploration, these are the beliefs that have supported his Joshua all the time, if it is said that the order that belongs to him is to be obtained, then these keys must not be missing.

"My order."

Repeating this word again, Joshua couldn't help but shook her head again.

"It's really a good question."
