Soul of Burning Steel

Because of the [Dispute Continent] game, most of the chaotic memories of Joshua’s seal have been slowly wiped out and softened by the endless spirit of more than a billion people.

Similarly, because the real and reliable transcendent heritage can be obtained from the game, this game can be said to have been popularized throughout the entire Mykrov civilization, and has even become a part of everyone’s life.

In this regard, Joshua and the entire Mykrov civilization can be said to be mutually beneficial. Without Joshua’s resistance and destruction, it is impossible for chaotic memories to be softened and softened by the spiritual will of most ordinary people. Obliteration, and relatively, if there are no more than a billion people multi-threaded, multi-faceted attempts and analysis, just with Joshua’s individual will, no matter how strong, there is no way to solve tens of millions of things so quickly. Chaotic memories of different categories.

Only when the two parties cooperate with each other can there be an effect that is far greater than one plus one and greater than two.

Up to now, several years have passed since the Cthulhu of Death incident, and most of the chaotic memories have been completely shattered and digested, and the knowledge contained in them has gradually dispersed throughout the civilization as the game progresses, imperceptibly. Improve the power of the entire Mycroft civilization, and Joshua has also benefited a lot from it. After all, he is a fighter who specializes in life energy and the power of steel, even if he has a condescending realm and wants to learn quickly The essence of other extraordinary powers also requires the cooperation and experimentation of other existences in civilization.

In fact, as early as a few years ago, Qiao Xiuya invested and founded a lot of transcendent organizations, such as the “Human Progressive Technology Group” specializing in body modification, trying to create a new era of vindictive practice. Hui’, and within the Winterhold Academy, the’Luminous Association’ that has been secretly researching chaos-related matters. These things are things that he does not have the time and energy to do, but he needs to do things. The soldiers will do these things. Leave the matter to others, and you only need to control one general direction.

The results are also very exciting. The Human Progressive Technology Group has very mature experience and technology in human body modification. The elite team member and alchemist Constantine is one of the more successful cases, and the New Age Liming Club actually still There is another name, called’Winterhold Champions League of Champions, to put it bluntly, that is, the group of vindictive practitioners who graduated from the Warlord Division of Winterhold, not to mention the luminous association. The leader is No. 3, and there is even direct investment from the imperial royal family, specifically for researching matters related to the chaotic family and the evil god.

The progress of civilization is his progress. The transcendent can be independent of civilization, but it is unnecessary. The two sides complement each other and can give full play to their potential. Progress is more comfortable and simple than going alone.

This way of mutual support is the order that Joshua and other legendary powerhouses have determined after thinking for a long time.

In the silver world, Joshua’s will is like an invisible wind, like an invisible God’s perspective in the game, passing across floating continents, overlooking the lives of many civilized heroes… Among them, the usual tasks are completed. Some of the best civilized heroes,’Lava Giant, Thunder Jelly’ and’Rock Devouring Giant Insect’, have reproduced part of their ethnicity with the support of Joshua, and multiply in their own territory. Survival, and as they worked in their mood, the area and quality of the floating continent became larger and larger.

However, there are exceptions. The civilized heroic spirits like the Rock Devourer said that he did not want to be taken care of by Joshua in the greenhouse, but wanted to expand the territory for the soldiers, and repay the kindness of his self-reliant colleagues. This semi-element life race that mainly feeds on metal-containing rocks will soon relocate from the silver world, with a beam of repaired light, and go to a new world in the multi-galaxy suitable for its race to survive… and they will be vacated. The position can just be left to a new revived heroic spirit of civilization.

“It has entered a virtuous circle… A resurrected civilization is familiar with this unfamiliar world through the heroic spirits, and then the heroic spirits revives its own race, teaches them common sense and knowledge, reproduces, and quickly forms into one under the guidance of the heroic spirits and me. A brand-new wisdom civilization…At that time, I am afraid I can become a seeder, and when I encounter a life world suitable for survival, I will sow an entire intelligent race.

Seeing this scene, Joshua could not help nodding slightly. This was also in his expectation. Rather, the reason why he resurrected these failed races was to’spread order’ better and faster, and then through the right These civilizations instilled the “knowledge and culture” belonging to the Mykrov civilization, allowing them to grow rapidly while also becoming a natural supporter of the Mykrov civilization, and even a member of the Mykrov civilization.

However, resurrection is naturally not without cost. Joshua’s visions of extraordinary powers, the experimental body of human transformation, and the testing and practice of fighting qi cultivation methods, some are too dangerous to find relatively vulnerable human beings. At this time, alien races with various attributes and different talents are the best test subjects.

It is like the’emotional spectrum’ system that Joshua just thought of. Before the official use of the Mycroft civilization, he will definitely trade with these resurrected races and let the other party conduct an experiment first. He can guarantee fairness and justice. It is voluntary. As for the consequences of the experiment, it is not very easy to say whether it is death, madness, or no effect.

No one has any opinion on this, because this is how the world works.

In fact, this approach is very similar to the “civilization corrector” one of the natural disaster civilizations called by the star warrior Khan, except that what the civilization corrector does is by’destroying the existing civilization and then rebuilding it from scratch. ‘, and what Joshua did was’resurrect an extinct race and recreate it from scratch.’ If you have to compare it, the former is a bloody, unquestioned terrorist, while the latter is just passing by and possesses the ability to resurrect. Your kind arbor.

“Yes, it’s all good, there is no heroic laziness, everyone works hard.”

After patrolling all the floating continents, Joshua’s will emits satisfying fluctuations, just like an old farmer who saw the growth of leeks gratifyingly, and after the fluctuations, the warrior’s will condensed and turned into a humanoid entity, landing in the world. Inside, among the endless crystal obelisks.

It can be seen that in the center of the world, a huge silver giant star is releasing endless light and heat, filling the world. The nine continents overlap each other, bringing each other the alternation of night and day, and at the bottom of these continents Obelisks stand densely like a forest, and Joshua’s family members, countless silver fairies are flying among the crystal trees, repairing the seals of the obelisks, cracks and breakages that may appear.

At this time, most of the chaotic memory suppressed at the bottom of the obelisk has dissipated and turned into a part of Joshua’s power, but there are still about 10% to 20% of the chaotic memory that is still very stubborn. The soldier landed this time. One or two percent of the seal where the chaotic memory is located.

It can be clearly seen that the crystal obelisk in this place is much dimmer than other places, and the chaotic aura is overflowing here, even if many silver goblins came to fan their wings in groups, they did not manage to disperse the hazy mist.

However, when Joshua came, all these dangerous mists dissipated invisible in his breath, causing a group of silver goblins around to cheer purely.

“Praise the master!”

“The power of dominance shines on the earth!”

This group of silver goblins did not go to the goblin township to study, but moved directly from the world of Karlis, so both their performance and reaction were very simple and pure, not at all like the elemental goblins…lively. At this point, Joshua is quite satisfied. It is not that he dislikes elemental fairies, but if all silver fairies become like elemental fairies, wouldn’t his world become the second town of fairies? Even if it’s praise, it’s ‘Jord, handsome! ’’ Domination is awesome! ’Such words that make people feel relieved.

In fact, those elemental fairies praised their empress in this way.

“Wait a little longer, don’t get near here, it’s dangerous.”

In the past, every time Joshua came, he would communicate with his family members and learn about the other party’s recent situation and status, but this time he had something to do, so he simply asked the other party not to get too close, and then went directly to this place. The core of the piece of crystal obelisk walked.

After a few years, when other legendary powerhouses are working hard to learn and recharge, new legendary and extreme peak powerhouses are also appearing one by one, Joshua also intends to completely solve the hidden danger of chaos in his own body.

At the same time, on the way to the core of the sealed chaotic memory, Joshua was also thinking, recalling the powerful civilizations and races he had recently encountered in the multi-galaxy.

Spirit Race, Knowledge Taker, Star Pastor, Royal Court of Amos, Takul Order, Lund Civilization, Wald Civilization, Phoenix Void Giant… etc. existed in the warrior’s mind. .

Ignoring the out-of-specification “Nebula Life” Amos the Great, and the “Ultimate Spirit Venerable” Thakur Patriarch, these two incarnations can fight against the gods. The body is probably much stronger than the true god. The ultimate supernatural power. , The life that impressed Joshua the most was the “Undead Void Behemoth” he encountered not long ago and the peculiar life scattered throughout the multi-galaxy, the “Psionic Bug”.

Although comparing the two together seems very ridiculous, in fact, in the eyes of Joshua, the Phoenix Void Monster is extremely powerful, but in terms of life form, it may be lower than psychic power. The bug…even more than one level.

What I’m talking about here is not pure power, but survival mode.

It may be difficult to understand, but here is an example to illustrate the huge differences represented by different survival modes.

A kind of creature, temporarily called it “hairless naked ape”, they live in a primitive wild world, living in plains and forests, and it has many competitors and natural enemies, such as tigers and forests in the woods. Wolves, lions and jackals on the plains. In addition, there are other apes in the same ecological niche as it, such as various hairy naked apes, baboon monkeys and orangutans.

Hairless naked apes are very difficult to survive. Even if they are in a group, they cannot guarantee the continuation of the race. Generally speaking, they want to have an advantage in the long history of life evolution and allow their race to continue smoothly. There are two options: one The species has evolved a tougher skin, stronger muscles, larger body size and stronger bones. The other method is to multiply and multiply. Even if it is eaten by many natural enemies, there are still many Continue.

To achieve this change, the hairless naked ape can only pray for luck. What the former requires is to give birth to an extremely strong, extremely tall, and almost diamond-like mutant from the race, which is referred to as Hairless King Kong, and this mutant has relied on its own strong advantages to reproduce more offspring. , And more hairless diamonds appeared in its offspring, further transforming the genes of hairless naked apes, so that hairless naked apes gradually become hairless diamonds completely, and then gaining an advantage in survival and making their own ecological niche a leap. , To drive tigers, lions, jackals, gray wolves and other wild animals out of the forest.

The latter, like the former, requires a mutant, so that the changed bloodline has the advantage to be passed on until it is completely changed-but not to mention when the mutation will appear, the process of bloodline change alone requires at least all Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of years.

This is the survival and evolution method of the ‘Beast’, and it is also the survival and evolution method chosen by the ‘Void Beast’, the most powerful ‘Beast’ in the multiverse, and the Phoenix Void Beast is no exception.

But the path chosen by ‘civilization’ is far from it.

When many hairless naked apes were in panic all day long, hoping that a King Kong would be born in the race, and the evolutionary process that had been known for tens of thousands of years began, suddenly one day, a genius appeared among the hairless naked apes.

——It has learned to use fire.

Of course, the order of things learned by hairless naked apes in different worlds may be different, some may learn psionics, some may be grudges, and some may be other things, but the general meaning is the same-hairless naked apes Abandoning the long’hereditary bloodline transformation’, and starting to use’imitation behavior’ to learn to use fire, learn to use tools, learn to use bows, swords, guns, and magic vindictiveness to survive in this world.

When a genius in a tribe can steadily ignite the flames and create swords, bows and arrows, so that hairless naked apes can hunt their prey at a lower cost than before, and eat more nutritious food, all hairless naked apes will go there. ‘Imitation’, and the time required for’imitation’, its own difficulty is far simpler than’blood inheritance’.

‘Using a tool’ is essentially a mutation, which is no different from mutating a strong body shape, but it takes hundreds of thousands of years as the basic unit for a strong body shape to spread to all hairless naked apes in the world. It is even impossible to spread 100%, but with different tools, the evolutionary advantage it can obtain for hairless naked apes is far greater than that of robustness, the speed of learning is also fast, and the speed of transmission is equally fast. This is a way far better than’blood evolution. A’more efficient’knowledge evolution’ survival mode, and at this point, hairless naked apes can call themselves’human beings’.

Since then, they have divided their boundaries with their previous selves and have officially become ‘civilized’.

The essence of civilization does not lie in the body. The robustness of individual humans is no longer the most important part of survival advantages.

A short and unhealthy human can not even beat a hairless naked ape with his bare hands. However, if he has a bow and arrow in his hand, the hairless naked ape can only turn around and run. If he has a gun in his hand, ordinary tigers can Not willing to take the risk of attacking. If this person is wearing an exoskeleton armor and holding a runner Gatlin, good guy, even if this person is a malnourished asthma patient, it does not prevent him from chasing a group of beasts who cried and cried. mother.

If, besides this, he knows how to magic, knows how to fight, and is a priest of some god, then it is even more remarkable. The education he has received in just over ten years and the extraordinary practice he has carried out can bring thousands of wild animals to life. Ten thousand years or even hundreds of millions of years of evolutionary process to hang up and fight, beasts are useless, because with the same resources and time, a beast is born from beasts, and humans can educate a few dozen transcendents of the same level.

When the first hairless naked ape learns to use fire, learn to make spears, swords, bows and arrows, it becomes him, and it is no longer in the same dimension as all beasts, and their life form surpasses all beasts. Above, because they have mastered a more advanced mode of evolution, that is,’knowledge and technology’.

Just as the same gene is the basic unit of life, it spreads through replication and inheritance, and it evolves through mutation and mutation, while meme is the basic unit of civilization and culture. It relies on replication and imitation to spread, and it also relies on mutation and mutation (spark of inspiration) Evolve.

And this kind of knowledge evolution not only spreads, the speed of learning is faster, the speed of progress is faster-the Stone Age lasted for about two million years, and even 10,000 years ago, humans were still primitive intelligent life that only used simple tools. But soon, in the next one to two thousand years, humans learned to forge metal weapons. The beasts of nature have evolved for hundreds of millions of years to make their minions so sharp. In another one or two thousand years, humans have made them. Guns, tanks, planes, missiles… all these processes are simply flying at the same speed, and beasts are no longer worthy of being compared to humans.

This is the process of knowledge and technology, that is, the evolution of ‘memetic information’.

Rather than saying that the essence of human beings is a repeater, it is better to say that the essence of civilization is a repeater.

If you add extraordinary power, then the beast may be able to barely support for a while, after all, the initial strength of this power is too high, and it is not the same as the fur of the minions, and the extraordinary power can also give birth to an ordinary similar to the void behemoth. The horrible’beast’ that civilization cannot face and overcome.

“However, there is no need for such a comparison, because civilization also has its own powerful existence-for example, the legendary powerhouse in the Mycroft world, and the various war weapons produced by the sanctuary civilization and the’Black Mist Matrix’. Kind of things.”

“Unconscious existence.”

“A conscious existence.”

“Conscious cognition.”

“Oneself is cognition.”

“Change general perception.”

Qiao Xiuya’s classification of survival mode can be roughly divided into the above five levels.

Compared with the primordial soup where no life exists, there is no self-awareness, but macromolecular organics, single-cell, and multi-celled organisms that can replicate and inherit their characteristics are a higher level of survival mode than there is no existence.

Compared with mature multicellular organisms, such as sponges, which have evolved and matured and possess self-awareness of various beasts, insects and other life, their survival mode is a higher level. They can consciously change themselves and influence them more efficiently. The whole world.

But instead of abandoning the slow physical evolution, it uses’memes’ and’knowledge’, this kind of self-replicating and evolving’thoughts’ to form society, which constitutes civilized human beings and all other intelligent life. Their life model is one level higher than that of pure instinctive creatures and genetic slaves. This is the survival model of the level of’conscious cognition’.

As for the legendary powerhouses, gods, and all kinds of powerhouses who rely on knowledge and extraordinary power to surpass their own life forms, it can be said that they have taken the steps to advance the survival mode, but they have not fallen yet.

Their form of existence is already a super life, immortal and immortal. There is almost no similarity to ordinary things, but there is no absolute difference in essence from ordinary intelligent life. They can only be said to be very powerful intelligent life. If they have to say something, they, who are immortal and immortal, may be half a level higher than ordinary beings.

Then, at a higher level, ‘oneself is cognition’, oneself is the life of the meme…what is it like?

Walking slowly between the crystal obelisks, Joshua let out a sigh of relief. He couldn’t help but recall the time when he was puzzled when he was studying the ‘psionic bug’.

The life of the ‘psionic bug’ is totally unclear how it reproduces, how it appears, and how it moves. Its physical realm entity is entirely composed of psychic energy, but why does this period of psychic energy appear? Is it really a life that exists entirely in the form of memes?

Could it be said that this does not seem to be wise, it is something like cockroaches in the universe, it is actually a ‘memetic life form’ higher than their human beings?

“In fact, it is not necessarily. After all, no one knows whether the psionic bug is wise or not—maybe it is just the appearance we see. Maybe it’s all over the entire multi-galaxy. The seemingly ordinary psionic bug is just one. The huge overall life, his wisdom, may be more vast than all of us combined. The Phantasmal Void Giant Beast is nothing more than a’wild beast’ that is powerful to the limit. It just exists in this world and is not worth mentioning. ”

Of course, Joshua is not really thinking about which is stronger and more advanced between the “Psionic Beast” and the “Psionic Bug”. He just compares the two to figure out the more important things.

-Primitive life exists in the world. Beasts survive in the world. Civilization knows the world. The legendary powerhouse tries to understand the truth and understand the world, and the psionic bug, I am afraid it has become the world, that is, part of the universal phenomenon.

“If we say that the legend is a super life that surpasses the ordinary wisdom life by half a step.”

Thinking about this, the soldier whispered to himself: “Then, the’sages’ who have clearly surpassed the legend, and even more than one realm, their evolution…maybe they have reached the point where they can change their’cognition’.”

This is Qiao Xiuya’s idea of ​​~www.wuxiax.com~ to change the universal cognition, which is the ‘sage’ survival mode of ‘change the world, change the truth’.

exactly.

At the end of Joshua’s thinking, he arrived at his destination.

Qiao Xiu raised her head and looked at the 4,521-meter-high super-giant crystal obelisk in front of her, and the chaotic memory of suppressed in it, exuding endless waves of ‘malicious chaos’.

The drifting black mist is like thick pitch in the air, which is extremely unpleasant.

“Before I move forward.”

Seeing this stubborn and persistent memory that could not be softened and decomposed by billions of people day and night after several years of wear and tear, Joshua radiated silver brilliance, shook her head while raising her hand.

“It’s time to clean up and deal with stubborn stains.”
