metaverse evolution.

The Goddess of Nature is a "false saint"; while the Daoist Master of Original Yang is a "true saint".

Now, both saints are involved in the scientific research at the Temple of Ascending Dragon.

In the past, the Goddess of Nature's greatest hobby was drinking tea. Although she responded to Chu Fei and the others' research, she was not very enthusiastic.

Now that Yuanyang Daozun has joined, the Goddess of Nature has suddenly become more proactive.

The Ascending Dragon Palace had already gone through a period of accumulation and consolidation before entering a period of explosive growth. Now, with the addition of two more saints, the effect will be even better.

Years have passed, but the progress of the Rising Dragon Palace has been remarkable, progressing by leaps and bounds.

So here's the question: if you can make a thousand miles a day, how much does that amount to in a year? A year is a qualitative leap!

In just ten years, "consciousness research" has achieved groundbreaking results. For this, we must give special thanks to Yuanyang Daozun.

Yuanyang Daozun belongs to the cultivation system, possessing a natural advantage in matters such as the primordial spirit and soul. The Goddess of Nature, as a saint of faith, also has expertise in matters such as faith and the soul.

However, it was actually Chu Fei who achieved the decisive result.

To be precise, it was the two sages who provided more research materials and data, which Chu Fei ultimately used for scientific research and theoretical studies.

Although Chu Fei's foundation was damaged, his knowledge, logical thinking, and research abilities remained. He only lacked computing power, but this problem could be addressed with a computer.

What exactly is human consciousness? This question has been a mystery for millennia, and it remains a major challenge hindering the continued development of the Rising Dragon Palace.

However, while the two sages certainly helped in resolving this issue, the key factor was ultimately the technological research capabilities of the Ascending Dragon Palace.

Long ago, Chu Fei took the lead in researching a spell called the Clear Source Spirit Eye; the core theory of the Clear Source Spirit Eye is the interaction between Heaven and Man; the core theory of the interaction between Heaven and Man is the information field sensing theory.

The so-called "interaction between heaven and man" refers to the interaction between the small information field of the human body and the large information field of the outside world. It's similar to the gravitational fields that permeate interstellar space.

In addition, there are meme technology, quantum fields, quantum soup, and other technologies that the Ascending Dragon Palace has researched in the past. (Chapters 663 and 1006)
Finally, it also drew on scientific research such as artificial intelligence.

Consciousness may be an "information cloud" in the information field, similar to a nebula, except that a nebula is in the material world, while consciousness is in the information world.

Let's start with nebulae in interstellar space.

For a nebula to form, there needs to be sufficient basic matter in interstellar space, such as interstellar dust and interstellar gas. Eventually, under the influence of a certain "core," they gradually gather together to form a swirling nebula, an accretion disk, and eventually collapse into a star.

A similar logical system exists in the world of human civilization. Society as a whole is filled with quantum information, memes, quantum soup, and massive amounts of information, forming an "information cloud".

This information environment is similar to the starry sky environment. The difference is that information can be copied and can be added infinitely.

When a life form is still an embryo, it first absorbs information from the mother, parents, relatives, and paternal and maternal love. At this time, consciousness gradually emerges, but it is not yet fully formed; instincts will exist.

After birth, human consciousness continues to grow, absorbing information from society. Eventually, this accumulated information gradually "collapses" into a "constant star," and the loose information begins to "continuate." At this point, the child finally develops a complete self-awareness. This usually occurs between one or two years old and three years old.

The formation and birth of this consciousness is fundamentally similar to the training of large models in artificial intelligence. The only difference is that life exists on a higher dimension.

This theory has essentially permeated the Rising Dragon Palace's past scientific research theories. However, one point remains unexplained—where does the most "core" element, the "intelligent core," come from?
Furthermore, how does reason emerge from chaos during the formation of consciousness? Is it through the teachings of parents and relatives? Feral children, lacking parents, can only howl and scream, while human consciousness actually begins with calling out "Mom" and "Dad." Perhaps it is parental love that allows a child's consciousness to be complete?
There are still many questions, but at least it has provided a preliminary explanation of what consciousness is.

Consciousness is a planet composed of information. This would explain the concept of "consciousness space," which is the sphere of influence of the "consciousness planet," or the "inside the consciousness planet"—further research is needed.

Why are consciousness and intellect considered "negative entropy"? Because, just as planets cause spacetime depressions, the existence of consciousness also causes a depression in the information field. Since this field is depressed, it's naturally considered "negative" entropy.

This new research breakthrough aligns with the path of scientific development—it solves one problem but raises ten questions. The more we know, the more questions we have.

The general logic of consciousness has been figured out, but where did the original core come from? It seems to have fallen from the sky and appeared out of thin air.

However, this issue can be put aside for now, because the current theories are sufficient to support the Ascension Dragon Palace's advancement to the level of Quasi-Saint and Saint.

With breakthroughs in consciousness research, a solution has finally been found for how to accelerate the cultivation of quasi-saints.

The method still borrows the technique of severing the three corpses. The technique of severing the three corpses in cultivation is a very mature technology, and it is much easier to proceed by feeling one's way across the river.

The method of severing the three corpses is as follows: use the mastered laws to cultivate two entangled clones. Once they are mature, sever one illusory clone and retain the real one. By continuously cultivating and severing the clones, one gradually builds an "independent law" that is completely under one's control.

Now, the Rising Dragon Palace knows that the so-called law is a kind of "continuous logic".

In terms of big data technology, it means: using the laws you have mastered as the "core", then forming two entangled "consciousness planets, binary systems", and finally cutting off one and keeping the other.

Once there are enough independent laws within the body to complete a puzzle, the Three Corpses Slayer Saint can be upgraded to the Heavenly Dao Saint.

Meanwhile, the Ascending Dragon Palace, after achieving a technological breakthrough and temporarily explaining how consciousness is formed, successfully developed the "Quasi-Saint Cultivation Method" in just over a hundred years—a method for cultivating through big data to sever the three corpses.

First, use a certain law within the body as the core; then, use artificial intelligence technology as an aid to cultivate a consciousness.

The core is very simple. The Dragon Ascension Palace now has a lot of algorithms at its disposal, especially after analyzing most of the Heavenly Book. Everyone can easily master more than a dozen cores.

As for using artificial intelligence to assist in the cultivation of consciousness, it's not a big problem; it's just a matter of feeding information, and in a scientific environment, information is never lacking. It's just that cultivating a single consciousness requires over a billion units of computing power, which current computer technology can't keep up with.

Even if computer technology doesn't catch up, according to current calculations, cultivating a consciousness entity would only take a few hundred years. Compared to the "billions of years" of the past, this is a huge improvement.

That day, Chu Fei personally cultivated his own consciousness clone. After finishing the research, he complained to Yuan Yang Daozun, "Computer technology is a bit outdated."

Based on the current situation, it would take me 330 years to cultivate one clone, and to prevent quantum interference, only one clone can be cultivated at a time.

Fortunately, as long as I cultivate an avatar, I can restore my Quasi-Saint cultivation level.

Yuanyang Daozun remained silent for a while, then slowly said, "Do you think it's possible that in the past, it took me a whole eon to cultivate one of the Three Corpses clones? I used the method of 'nine times nine equals one' to cultivate nine clones in total."

Because it gets increasingly difficult as you progress, it took me 36 yuanhui (a unit of time) to go from Quasi-Saint to Heavenly Saint.

Chu Fei blinked and said seriously, "Senior, we are studying science and technology now, not empirical technology."

Yuanyang Daozun: "..."

Alright, considering I've also gained a lot, I won't hold it against you.

However, more than a decade after this conversation, the computer technology of the Rising Dragon Palace achieved a decisive breakthrough.

Computer technology has finally broken through to the optical quantum computer, moving from the quantum technology era into the "logic technology era".

The "virtual particle computer" has emerged.

Although quantum particles are very small, they still exist in reality, and because quantum particles are not continuous, they have a limit.

The "virtual particle computer" starts directly from quantum field logic and the essence of wave functions. It uses the theory of anti-de Sitter space to simulate the operating logic of black holes, making the underlying logic of the computer "continuous". In this way, the computer technology has officially reached the "sacred level".

The rapid advancement of computer technology has brought about intuitive changes. Chu Fei's clone cultivation, which originally had more than three hundred years left, was completed in just one year.

Yuanyang Daozun remained silent about this technological achievement. His silence was deafening.

After examining his clone and confirming that there were no problems, Chu Fei used the method of severing his three corpses to re-enter the Quasi-Saint realm, and his foundation was even more solid.

Subsequently, the Goddess of Nature, using the technology of the Rising Dragon Palace, began to follow the path of severing the three corpses.

Three years later, Yuanyang Daozun decided to learn how to reform through a standardized process.

The pace of scientific and technological development will only accelerate. With the popularization of new computer technologies and the participation of more people in research, the Cosmic Brain Technique is also advancing by leaps and bounds.

At this moment, the technological development of the Rising Dragon Palace is like the rising sun, or a river emerging from its hidden source, unstoppable.

The Dragon Ascension Hall has launched the "Quasi-Saint" mode for all citizens.

No, it's a nationwide saint mode.

According to Yuanyang Daozun, the most difficult part after severing the three corpses is "merging with the Dao," which involves integrating the foundation (laws) after severing the three corpses into a complete "Heavenly Dao Law." How to merge with the Dao is a closely guarded secret.

But for the Rising Dragon Palace, this is precisely the least of their problems.

It's just a jigsaw puzzle, we're good at that! Since version 10.0, every major breakthrough has involved a jigsaw puzzle. This current puzzle may be a bit more difficult and advanced, but it's all about the same principles.

Moreover, we have more than one approach to the puzzle. Two commonly used ones are the gravitational field model and the Klein bottle model. Later, we added the "Penrose ladder model," which is a simplified logic.

The subsequent baffling actions of the Ascending Dragon Palace left Yuan Yang Daozun even more silent.

First, Chu Fei completed the severing of the three corpses, there really were only three, forming three powerful foundations. Then Chu Fei attempted to "puzzle" the puzzle, using the simplest Penrose staircase as logic to construct a "world of flames", imitating the foundation of the Yuanyang Daozun.

After successfully building the system, Chu Fei conducted tests for several years, and then formatted and rebuilt it.

When Yuanyang Daozun saw Chu Fei so casually format the cultivation level of a saint, he was a little dumbfounded.

Afterwards, Wang Guowen and Zhang Ying both cultivated to the level of saints. Using the "Five Qi Converging to the Origin" method, they respectively attempted to construct the logic of gravity and the Klein bottle, but both failed. Subsequently, they switched to the "Penrose Ladder Logic" and succeeded, one constructing a world of fire and the other constructing a world of thick earth. After several years of testing, they formatted and started over.

After that, more and more people broke through to the level of sainthood, and then they all started over again.

A century later, Chu Fei achieved the feat of severing his three corpses 108 times. Based on these 108 foundations, he successfully constructed the logic of gravity. After several years of testing, he underwent a complete formatting and rebuild.

Yuan Yang Daozun felt like he was going crazy. He felt that the realm of sainthood had been ruined by the Ascending Dragon Palace.

Years later, Wang Guowen and Zhang Ying once again took the lead in making breakthroughs, achieving the "slaying of the three corpses 366 times" achievement based on Chu Fei's work. They successfully constructed the Gravity Logic and the Klein Bottle Logic, respectively. The world they constructed became increasingly closer to the real world, truly having the feel of creation.

The two then tested for about ten years before both formatting and resetting their systems. By this time, the number of saints in the Ascending Dragon Palace had exceeded ten thousand, but everyone still liked to format and reset their systems when they had nothing else to do.

Then Bai Yingying suddenly rose to prominence, drawing on the magic of the Heavenly Book to achieve the feat of "slaying the three corpses 1000 times," completing the "killing of a thousand people," constructing the "gravitational logic of the Klein bottle structure," and attempting to build the so-called "composite domain." Her first attempt failed; after adjusting for a few years, she made a second attempt and succeeded.

When Bai Yingying reached the Saint Realm, she could turn a continent a million kilometers long into clay with a wave of her hand, freely reshaping its terrain. But many problems remained.

Afterwards, Bai Yingying tried to fight Yuanyang Daozun and they ended up fighting to a draw.

To be precise, Daoist Yuanyang couldn't harm Bai Yingying, and Bai Yingying couldn't lock onto Daoist Yuanyang. Overall, Daoist Yuanyang was more powerful, mainly due to his age and established foundation. However, there were simply too many Saints in the Ascending Dragon Palace now, and Daoist Yuanyang calmly accepted this outcome.

In the days that followed, Daoist Yuanyang transformed into a model student, diligently studying and striving for improvement. As for the Goddess of Nature, she became virtually invisible, diligently researching big data cultivation, but the more she studied, the more overwhelmed she became; the academically challenged Goddess of Nature began to tremble with fear. The Goddess of Nature couldn't understand why the world had suddenly become so unfamiliar!
When Yuanyang Daozun arrived at the Ascending Dragon Palace more than three hundred years ago, and when the time came to the fourth era 6764, the total number of saints in the Ascending Dragon Palace exceeded one million, and the great cultivation goal of making all the people saints was initially achieved.

That year, Chu Fei broke through to the Saint realm again by severing his three corpses 3600 times, directly sublimating his previous "weak law domain" of thought into the "domain of all laws." Or rather, the domain of all laws is considered a higher state of the metaverse domain.

After Chu Fei completed the foundation construction, lightning and thunder flashed across a void spanning tens of light-years, and earth, fire, wind, and water appeared out of thin air. With a wave of his hand, continents appeared in the void; with another wave, the sun and moon began to rotate on the desolate continents, springs appeared, air appeared, and simple microorganisms and plants appeared. But animals were still beyond his ability to create.

Even so, Chu Fei's performance completely silenced Daoist Yuanyang. This time, Daoist Yuanyang did not issue a challenge, but simply clapped from the sidelines, his face expressionless.

Although Chu Fei once said that the efficiency of science and technology is hundreds of millions of times that of experience-based technology, seeing and experiencing it firsthand still left him speechless with awe.

Saints! This is a realm that countless cultivation systems seek but cannot attain, and now it's being mass-produced?!

Cultivate spirituality among all people, and become saints among all people!
The wholesale distribution of celestial books in the ancient god ruins of "Senluo Creation Heaven" has led some to speculate that the cultivation system is promoting universal cultivation, with powerful figures pulling the strings behind the scenes. This involves a struggle for lineage and destiny.

The direct consequence of the explosion of cultivation was that the faith-based cultivation system was eradicated!
Yuanyang Daozun was able to break through because of the Heavenly Book; he even has the analysis of innate characters here.

However, cultivation ultimately requires aptitude, which has become the biggest constraint of the cultivation system.

However, modern big data training doesn't place much emphasis on aptitude. Learning ability can be maximized, and various scientific and technological aids can be used to enhance it!
Yuanyang Daozun felt that he should perhaps return to his own world and bring back some scientific civilization.

While Yuanyang Daozun was lost in thought, Chu Fei was extremely busy, carefully sensing his current realm and leading a new research project.

Of course, this is still not perfect. There are many laws in a world. The Heavenly Book contains 129,600 spells, 3,000 orthodox laws, and 300 Daoist laws. Chu Fei has only used 3600 laws so far, which is still quite far from perfect.

Speaking of which, this celestial book is truly amazing. Even with Chu Fei's current cultivation level and realm, he still finds it difficult to study the innate characters.

There are also those so-called innate characters, each of which is a law-based character, so innate characters inherently possess the attribute of creation.

After the breakthrough, Chu Fei led his team to continue their research. Just then, exciting news arrived—the exploration team outside had made contact with the "Immortal Execution Hall".

The Hall of Immortal Execution was one of the bridgeheads for the Yanhuang civilization's exploration of the inner world, and one of the most important and powerful. When they first entered the inner world, the Hall of Immortal Execution already had a level 20.0 expert, which is why they dared to arrogantly use the name "Hall of Immortal Execution".

For so many years, the Execution Hall has remained like a nail, driven into the battlefield beyond the realm, becoming the front line of the Yanhuang civilization's expansion.

However, the reason why the traces of the Zhuxian Palace could be found this time was because the war broke out in the extraterrestrial battlefield. The location of the Zhuxian Palace was quite important and became one of the focal points of the war front.

Furthermore, due to the intensity of the war, the Zhuxian Palace used a large number of vacuum energy bombs, which allowed the Shenglong Palace to discover the traces of the spaceship.

Moreover, the current situation of the Execution Palace doesn't seem very good. The extensive use of vacuum energy bombs is not a good sign in itself.

[This chapter has been sped up; after much reflection, this book is about to come to an end.]

First of all, thank you to all the readers for your support and for all the discussions. I've been keeping an eye on everyone's posts.

This book took three years to write and has many problems. It's common for the author to contradict established ideas, and it started to fall apart towards the end. Even the author himself couldn't stand it anymore, and there were many problems that he wanted to fix but couldn't.

This book was written and pondered simultaneously, and by the time the ideas matured, the plot was already halfway through.

This book actually broke down three times—that's just counting the major ones.

The first attempt fell apart shortly after it began. I underestimated the difficulty of writing this subject matter and overestimated my own writing ability. In particular, the inclusion of the so-called power of faith was a major blunder.

The second time, we left Yunlong Star and entered Tianjiang Star Cluster. At this time, there was no longer an outline, only a general direction.

The third time, after the sun, moon, and star clusters, I lost even the general direction and started rambling.

But then again, there's a strange sense of accomplishment in continuing to ramble on even after things have fallen apart like this. But ultimately, it just couldn't go on any longer, so now I'm trying to avoid a really bad ending.

The key materials for this book have been reorganized, and the new book is almost ready. The third volume of the Big Data Practice Theory is about to embark on another journey; please look forward to it. (End of Chapter)
