Uplifting Journey

Since entering this world, one question has been continuously highlighted with the deepening of Cheng Bin's exploration and research, that is, the source of the mysterious power in this world - what is the soul?

From fragmentary things such as spiritual interference and intuitive divination, to systematic mysterious abilities such as ripples, to the existence of substitutes that challenge the laws of physics, they are all just different manifestations of soul power. .

From the awakening of the double, to the mutual influence between the double and the main body, the countless experimental data accumulated in the past all prove that the double is an alternative manifestation of a person's higher self.

Combined with the performance of the substitutes that touched the timeline, such as the Crimson King, these information clues all point to a conclusion—the substitute can be regarded as a kind of high-dimensional life that comes with the soul of the body as the carrier. The strange performance and special performance of the substitute messenger Most of the abilities conform to the model of the consciousness carrier of the high-dimensional life in the low-dimensional world.

But the substitute messenger, or the substitute represented by the messenger, cannot be a real high-dimensional life, because there are two problems in it——

First of all, the substitute in this world did not perceive the particularity of Cheng Bin's intervention like the dragon god on the World Tree.

Secondly, the substitute exists before the substitute messenger. This conjecture has been confirmed in various experiments. The awakening of the substitute will distort the body and mind of the substitute messenger. This wonderful connection is very different from all kinds of high-dimensional beings that Cheng Bin has encountered in the past. , It is completely inconsistent with the law of the birth or expansion of a normal high-dimensional life.

The personality portrait of a pure soldier turned towards a thief after awakening as a stand-in. This can also be understood as the divergence of fate in different parallel worlds. The same person joined the army in this world and became a thief in another world.

But what happened to a person who mutated into a dog-like natural instinct and weird ability after awakening a double? What about those dudes who are not human, or even non-life forms?

It can't be that the parallel entity of man is a dog or a book, right?

If the substitute is really a super life supported by the soul consciousness of the substitute messenger in multiple worlds, then its performance will definitely not be as inexplicable as what Cheng Bin sees now, so there must be hidden problems in it.

And now, from the monster pulled into this timeline by the Crimson King, Cheng Bin got a crucial clue——

On the undulating sea surface under the sun, the pale human figure with blurred facial features rose quietly out of the water body little by little, suspended on the water surface without a trace of waves.

Waist-length white hair fluttering in the wind, the pale human figure with perfect muscular contour raised his head to look at the dazzling sun, and lost himself in thought at the magnificent beauty composed of electromagnetic waves of various frequencies.

In a cautious and limited contact, Cheng Bin took over the slightly restless stand-in Infinite again.

Infinity, impacted by another timeline message and influenced by the dagger, burst out with more independent self-awareness. These thoughts appeared directly from Cheng Bin's soul, just like his own thoughts.

Generally speaking, it is difficult for people to overcome themselves. Few people can perceive the desire that bursts from the heart as external interference.

However, Cheng Bin has already conducted Katz's soul simulation experiment on the stand-in, and the emotional desires triggered by the infinite, even if he has not completed the heart plan that can completely control himself, he can still suppress it steadily with willpower——

Perhaps for the little kids of the last era, a lollipop plus a comic book is the whole world, but for the old drivers who have been wandering in the information age for many years, it is not the same thing at all.

Cheng Bin's greatest desire is the curiosity that requires self-discipline and control. He can completely derogate the thoughts of indulgence and occupation that are triggered by the avatar infinitely as "low-level desires", and easily exclude them from the link of conscious decision-making. outside.

After wading through the initial soul shock, Cheng Bin, who had stabilized his basic board, began to actively contact Infinity to explore the will and secrets behind it.

Soon, he "saw" the shadow of a certain behemoth from his double, or from the depths of his heart.

But that huge monster seemed to be in a state of splitting itself at the moment, unable to move in the confusion of consciousness.

Cheng Bin can feel countless fragments of different thoughts flowing in it, but these chaotic thoughts can be divided into two different "painting styles" as a whole-the branch of thoughts that is relatively weak in scale makes him have a kind of quite familiar feeling

Well, it is probably the subtle feeling when opening the administrator platform of a certain system.

However, the aftermath of unformed thoughts can only be experienced passively, and Cheng Bin, who roughly guessed something, tried hard to go further.

In order to more clearly highlight his own spiritual desires in the chaotic thoughts, while resisting the assimilation of the spiritual storm, he also spared no effort to study the research materials of the timeline next door, which allowed him to discover quite a lot from the monster who traveled through the timeline. Interesting thing--

"The soul is the matrix unit that constitutes a high-dimensional substitute in multiple parallel worlds? The soul is the 'life', and ordinary life is just a container for the soul?"

Looking at the countless electromagnetic waves, those souls spreading and moving towards the sun through the frequency channel, Cheng Bin, whose facial features covered by the infinite gradually became clear, blinked hard.

In the study of the timeline next door, the definition of life in this world is quite in line with Cheng Bin's "aesthetics"——

Atoms are not life, molecules are not life, and organic compounds are not life. Only a complete system that has a logical structure and anti-entropy effect and can complete the cycle independently is life—even if this system is just a piece of life that knows how to use chemical bonds to copy and transcribe. molecular chain.

This kind of life will be recognized and settled by the soul from nowhere. Among them, the cycle system with unique rhythm, or the life system with "specified frequency" is the most obvious-the source cannot be observed before the power of the soul is gathered and formed. Because it can go in and out of thin air with the help of frequency, just like Cheng Bin's ripple consciousness.

".The human brain is complex enough to independently support a complete mind. From the perspective of natural evolution, the soul, an extra thinking organ, does not conform to the law.

"...If the research conclusion over there is correct, then the relationship between a person and his soul is not one with two sides, but similar to a shell and a hermit crab. No, since the soul can independently support the existence of a substitute, the soul must live in the body With an additional purpose, the relationship between them may be more similar to molds and molten iron?"

The appearance of the stand-in Infinity has gradually changed from the original burly and sturdy tall unicorn to the appearance of an ordinary Asian youth, which is completely overlapping with the human body constructed by Cheng Bin little by little.

Cheng Bin, who is thinking about the mysteries of the soul, has already risen from the sea surface to the high altitude seemingly slowly in the observation of electromagnetic changes. As the physical and mental level keeps getting closer to the double, the torrent of soul rising from the earth in his eyes becomes more and more intense. became clearer.

Staring at the magnificent sea of ​​souls that is like another geomagnetic field, built by countless lives on the earth, Cheng Bin faintly observed the laws of the operation of the deeper soul power. The now attached Infinity Stand has reached 100% synchronization at this moment, completely fused together.

The same is the closeness between a person and a substitute. Ordinary people need to consume a lot of mental power to change the appearance of a substitute. Most of the substitute messengers with humanoid substitutes are irresistibly close to the characteristics expressed by the substitute image in this respect. , instinct or character traits.

There has never been a person like Cheng Bin who, in turn, pulls a stand-in to distort his own image and change his characteristics. This is Cheng Bin, who constantly selects and assimilates fragments similar to himself among the fragments of chaotic thoughts passed by the stand-in , the result of constant determination to stay close to that weak branch of the soul.

Cheng Bin is sure that when he crosses the threshold and really touches the chaotic consciousness behind the double, and the tributary that resonates with his own consciousness, he will know at least a part of the truth behind this world.

However, at the moment when his body was about to soar into space and his front foot stepped into the threshold, the development of the situation far exceeded his expectations.

At the moment when he crossed the boundary and encountered the huge consciousness behind the stand-in, a terrifying invisible storm that seemed familiar rose up from the surface of the earth, and ran over Cheng Bin's position in the upper atmosphere with incomparable precision.

In an instant, Cheng Bin's consciousness was in the shock of his soul, and he tore off the connection with his specially constructed human body, and the perfectly integrated and overlapping double infinite also popped out of his body in the blink of an eye.

While the flesh and blood body without the protection of the substitute was exposed to low pressure and radiation damage, Infinity abruptly returned to its original pale, burly human form without warning.

".Silver Chariot Requiem?"

The confusion in the depths of consciousness did not affect Cheng Bin's subconscious actions. After the soul storm swept past, he grabbed the specially-made human body carrier with the tentacles of consciousness as quickly as possible.

But he squeezed into the body again, and before he had time to stabilize his body and mind, a chaotic and brutal consciousness that seemed to come from the ancient wilderness, full of the atmosphere of the weak and the strong, erupted from the substitute infinite, full of horror of hunger, thirst and rage The spiritual power focused on Cheng Bin.

The stand-in, who had swollen in size, stretched out his pale palm and grabbed Cheng Bin's head, and pointed his body at the sun in the sky——

[. Invading insects die! ! ! 】

In the space where the energy of sunlight far exceeds the surface of the earth, the majestic light waves visible to the naked eye of ordinary people gather and form, completely "melting" the human body in the hands of Infinity in a weird and cruel way.

The "liquid" of flesh and blood filled with dazzling light twisted and deformed in Infinite's hands and struggled for a long time before being thrown away by the pale double and completely annihilated in the scorching brilliance.

However, what Cheng Bin gathered in the human body was only the attention of the spiritual level, and the crushed piece of soul was insignificant to him who had deciphered the laws of soul operation and growth.

".Instead of destroying my soul, is 'infinity' more about torturing my spirit?"

In a certain rainforest on the land of Africa, Cheng Bin, whose consciousness has been transferred to the secondary center here, has some "headaches" sorting out the huge amount of chaotic information obtained in the previous soul mutation, and the sudden pain that tortured his soul infinitely before. This move really brought a lot of trouble to his sorting work.

But in the next moment, the imaginary substitute Infinity passed through the distant space and numerous defenses, and appeared in front of the secondary center where Cheng Bin's spirit gathered, and the center of the biological nest was like a giant brain.

After sorting out what he had learned before, Cheng Bin was shocked in his heart—it was not because he was surprised by the sudden appearance of the double and the unhesitating attack on him. The experiments related to Katz have long proved the contradiction between him and the double, and the double is his soul. The derivation of power, appearing like a shadow and directly attacking his soul from the inside, that is quite a normal thing.

The troubles caused by the double were still within the scope of his previous predictions and responses. What Cheng Bin was really surprised was a piece of information he sorted out from the previous chaos, a piece of prompt information from a panel with a very low sense of presence——

If the intermittent interval is longer, even I don’t know what I’m writing, and the rhythm becomes chaotic.

There are still two chances for this world to come back, I don't know if I can grasp it.

But isn’t it normal to write dry explanatory texts? When will I have rhythm?
