I attained immortality in the real world.
Chapter 158 Half-Step to the Fourth Realm
History books can be lost or altered.
However, myths and legends, after being artistically embellished and passed down through generations, have endured for thousands of years.
Myths and legends are often a mixture of truth and fiction.
It's fake, completely unrelated to history, and outrageous.
Indeed, it may not be entirely accurate, and misinterpreting the original meaning and embellishing it are common practices, but the titles bestowed upon the ancients for their achievements are generally not altered.
By interpreting names and considering the context of the times, it is possible to deduce historical truths from unsubstantiated information and thus understand the next step in the evolution of the universe.
Based on the results, Cao Xian deduced backwards and said, "I see. We also possess the prototype of the Azure Sky in the real world, but unfortunately, we analyzed it too deeply. After seven thousand years, not much can be preserved. In fact, knowing just one name is enough!"
The Azure Emperor has been resurrected. Putting aside his identities as the Heavenly Emperor, the Ancestor of Humanity, the Human King, and the progenitor of immortality, he is also a living immortal who can be transformed into a unique and magical power.
Using the scarce, fragmented information about the real-life prototype, Chen Jing deduced and found the missing link in the evolution of the Azure Heaven, and discovered a way to revive the Azure Emperor.
Putting themselves in their shoes, if they had to choose one person out of ten to invest, they would also choose Chen Jing.
The crowd looked at Chen Jing with a mixture of hostility and wariness.
However, Fuxi did not admire the ingenious logic; instead, he showed a puzzled expression.
He asked, "So cumbersome? Human energy is so precious, why waste it on such trivial matters? Wouldn't it be more convenient and faster to just ask the one who wants to create the Celestial Realm? At least we could get some clues."
Qin Zhen smiled and said, "It seems you've wasted your time and energy on unnecessary calculations, complicating a simple matter in the process?"
Chen Jing was taken aback, not because he was emotionally moved, but because he realized that his understanding was flawed.
He originally thought that what amazed him most about the Qing Emperor's resurrection was the technology of this era, but that was not the case.
Airplanes, submarines, nuclear bombs, skyscrapers—compared to the transition from ignorance to civilization, from animals to humans, from zero to one, these are merely forms of growth.
It aligned with humanity's vision of reaching for the stars and the moon, and striving to lift up the sky.
There are some discrepancies in the form; for example, flying is not about people growing wings, but about sitting in an airplane.
But what about people?
How different are people from 7,000 years ago from people today?
Chen Jing looked at the Azure Emperor Fuxi, realizing the significance of cross-era communication, as their vastly different fundamental understandings sparked new ideas.
He said, "It seems that over the past seven thousand years, the biggest change has been in humankind itself. Although the appearance has not changed much, the core has become completely different from what it was seven thousand years ago."
Fuxi smiled and said, "Changes in the world and changes in people are both good things. I just don't understand the evolution of these changes."
The immortal body of Fuxi
The nascent form of the heavens was insufficient to restrain its consciousness; the virtual world was almost omniscient, capable of knowing all information in the online world. It was only because its own capacity to process information was limited that it restricted the flow of information to itself.
People only deliberately explore related information when they want to know it.
Without waiting for a reply, his breath and eyes briefly lost focus, his consciousness broke through the celestial realm, and Chen Jing and the other ten were also included in his senses.
Chen Jing felt the surrounding scenery blur, and in the empty space, a small sphere appeared that enveloped the world, as well as a rushing river of light.
The small ball represents the target of the ritual, while the river serves as a carrier of virtual information.
"Understanding transcends the limitations of all forms, attains the vision of formlessness, and is halfway to the fourth realm."
Chen Jingxiang's philosophy is divided into four realms: no self, no person, no sentient beings, and no life span.
The first three realms all have real phenomena or have real phenomena as a carrier, while the fourth realm is entirely a theoretical realm. The first step is to transform into formlessness, which is being demonstrated by Fuxi.
Even with a celestial body and the authority of the Heavenly Emperor, he could only mimic half a step. "Whoosh!"
A ripple in the river of information.
The space around the Azure Emperor distorted, and all sorts of information about logic, reasoning, psychology, scheming, and society emerged.
Whether it's news, classical texts, or related video tutorials, they all play rapidly like a revolving lantern. Even with the blessing of the Master's mind seal, there's simply no time to memorize any information.
However, the Azure Emperor digested it in an instant, his processing speed surpassing that of humans.
Immortals, that's what immortals are. The biggest difference between immortals and humans is that humans enjoy the nourishment of the physical body, but are also bound by it.
When the body is on the verge of death, and consciousness is freed from its constraints but not yet extinguished, a person's life will flash by rapidly, which is the legendary "revolving lantern".
A century in a blink of an eye—what an astonishing speed of information processing!
Since immortals without physical bodies are always unrestrained, they naturally possess the ability to endlessly revolve their lanterns.
In terms of information processing, the immortals are second only to inanimate artificial intelligence, and even the literary master's ability to memorize things after reading them is far inferior!
"Clap!"
Fuxi quickly processed the information, and in the blink of an eye, everything returned to normal.
Times have changed. In this world seven thousand years later, the logic of ordinary people may not be as rigorous as that of Chen Jing, but they are all at a high level, which is an improvement in the foundation of wisdom.
But the higher you stand in society, the deeper your thoughts become. The greatest enemy of man is man himself, and there is no such thing as being completely honest with each other.
He couldn't help but frown: "I learned some information from the River of Information. It turns out that the relationships between people in this world are so complicated."
"Even in the tribal era seven thousand years ago, the kings and shamans, who served as the leaders of the tribe, would not have had such complicated thoughts."
"Most of the time, I was thinking about the heavens and the earth, or establishing a connection between heaven and man through worshiping gods, or strengthening the cohesion between people through sacrifices, and making inventions and creations using existing knowledge, such as pottery, fishing nets, and writing..."
"In this era, most people have such complex thoughts, which makes the game between people very interesting. It's incredible."
“Material abundance leads to waste; there will be leftover rice grains in the bowl and leftover food on the plate.”
"Is it a waste of wisdom and wealth that most people in this era have such complex and calculating minds, and that they speculate about others with malice?"
"........."
The Green Emperor finished speaking.
The Heavenly Realm fell into silence.
Regarding the waste of wisdom, not only are people unable to solve the problem, but they are also unaware of the problem itself unless the Azure Emperor points it out.
People like Chen Jing have long been accustomed to human competition and rivalry.
Those born in this era are inevitably limited by it.
Different historical contexts and the different foundations of self-awareness inevitably lead to different perspectives on things. Just as the Green Emperor could not understand why human interaction required such complex logic.
Cao Xian moved his lips twice, attempting to answer the Azure Emperor's question that spanned seven thousand years:
"Azure Emperor, the concept of the 'human' race was just born in your era, much like the early days of a dynasty. There were too many idealists who were willing to give their lives and forget themselves, just to realize a lofty ideal."
"As time goes by, the fuel of ideals will eventually burn out. Those who focus on personal gain will obtain more resources and wield greater power. Bad money drives out good, and the dynasty will inevitably head towards division and decline. All of this is due to human nature."
"Group interests and individual interests, the former includes the latter, and they seem to share common interests, but when individuals compete with each other, it becomes an internal friction and waste of group interests."
"The same applies to collective wisdom and individual wisdom. People cannot understand each other, and it is more dangerous to guard against people than to guard against a river."
"Even a wise person would find it hard to believe him. Why can't I be the one who issues commands, the supreme being? Why can't my will be the will of all beings?" (End of Chapter)
