I attained immortality in the real world.

I've lost you!

Earth erodes the body, wind erodes the soul.

People!

At what point should we define a person as completely dead?

In medicine, vital signs are used to determine health status, such as breathing, heartbeat, and brain waves.

However, even when a person has completely lost vital signs, there is still a period of time for rescue, during which the person can be brought back from the brink of death.

So, does completely losing one's physical body mean death?

According to the three religions, even after death, the soul exists. Ordinary people can survive for seven or eight days without any problem, even with the erosion of wind and sun.

If the soul can be guided into the spiritual world, and people have not completely forgotten you, as long as there are sacrifices and incense offerings, your consciousness can exist for a considerable period of time, which is called the "yin lifespan".

Therefore, those who cultivate themselves believe that death is actually not very related to the physical body.

Death refers to the loss of self-awareness; a living dead person with only vital signs and no consciousness is merely a shell.

However, determining whether the loss of self-awareness means the cessation of clear thoughts or the merging of the last wisp of spiritual energy into the River of Oblivion is very vague.
The ultimate definition of death is vague, but the definition of the beginning of death is very clear: the loss of self.

Losing oneself is taking a giant step toward death, the beginning of death, and the process of turning one into nothingness.

"Waaaah..."

The red mist surrounding Fuxi is thought, like fire, like flame, it is the turbid air of the mortal world.
The source of this turbidity is a flame that ignites between the brows of everyone who looks up at the heavens.

Oh, cruel heavens, how have you treated me so poorly? Is this the very culprit, heavens?

[Is this what Fuxi, the legendary emperor, actually looked like?]

The Celestial Emperor's throne—those immortal beings who have already ascended to heaven are truly blessed to attain immortality in this era…

[Heavenly palaces and jade pavilions...]

A wisp of thought is contained within the flame, which, after being transformed by the world's consciousness data, is constructed into illusory human figures.

Fuxi then completely let go of the constraints, like a mountain stream flowing into the sea.

All the turbid thoughts surged forth, and the body expanded at a visible speed, allowing the turbid energy of the mortal world to transform the immortal body.

A single thought transforms into a single change, and countless beings transform into endless variations.

Amidst the turbid atmosphere of the mortal world, figures rise and fall, changing dozens of times in an instant, while Fuxi's initial form becomes increasingly faint.

"........."

Xing Li looked up at the giant that Fuxi had transformed into and shouted, "Green Emperor—Fuxi!"

The turbid atmosphere of the mortal world is all human thought; it is alive and more polluting than the river of information. If it continues for just fifteen minutes, the consciousness of the immortal will fall silent again and will be difficult to revive.

Fuxi's resurrection lasted less than a quarter of an hour, yet it took a full seven thousand years to recover.

Awakening after so many years is undoubtedly a fortunate thing. Given the contributions the Azure Emperor has made to the human race, he is able to receive sufficient sustenance and maintain his consciousness for a long time.

Immortality!

The ultimate pursuit of ancient monks.

Even in this day and age, there are still many cultivators who yearn to ascend to immortality.

Some cultivators treat cultivation as a form of knowledge, aiming to enhance their understanding and then apply it.

Some people pursue ascension, attempting to combine modern technology to achieve immortality, using cultivation as a tool in their pursuit of longevity.

The Azure Emperor had the opportunity to achieve immortality, yet he discarded it like a worn-out shoe. Is immortality really that worthless?
If even the founding masters have changed professions, then what is the point of pursuing the method of ascension?
Cao Xian's spirit body came directly to the Azure Emperor and said, "You can serve as a cultural symbol, a banner of the times, and live as long as the heavens you created. Furthermore, with the advancement of technology, you can have a physical body in the real world and live a second life."

"Why give up easily attainable immortality?" "Why choose death?"

The Bagua compass slowly rotates, and the twelve months of the year, the 365 days of the 12 months, and the 4,380 hours of the 365 days mark the beginning of the cycle of time in the heavens.

When Fuxi heard someone calling his name, the speed of his transformation slowed down.

He briefly regained his self-awareness and looked at the few people who pursued immortality, their hearts seemingly clouded by the dust of the Tao.

He smiled slightly and said, "I have never given up the pursuit of immortality, nor have I ever been indifferent to death, but life and death are common occurrences."

"The heavens were built upon the foundation of 'life,' and the will to live is the fundamental human desire, while the ultimate desire to live is immortality."

"But I am the ancestor of mankind. Humans are constantly changing, so the ancestor of mankind should naturally change with humans. This is the proper way."

Ancestor of mankind?

Does the evolution of the Celestial Realm really require an Ancestor of Humanity?
The nine individuals frowned slightly, their consciousness connecting with the intelligent spirits of their respective dojos. They invoked computing power and commanded: "Input the new parameters of the Ancestor Fuxi to deduce the evolution of the heavens."

[Driving simulation in progress...]

With all the information clear and distinct, Fuxi also pointed the evolution towards the final outcome, and the intelligent spirit quickly deduced the result.

[The Celestial Realm will use individuals as coordinate points to construct a second world of spiritual understanding.]

Simply put, the Celestial Realm practices a theory of idealism. Only when players observe things will they use their mental energy to create spiritual insights, thus conserving mental energy to the maximum extent.

The Ancestor of Humanity is the core element of the Qimen Dunjia (a system of divination and divination based on the Eight Trigrams) formation.

[Only the Ancestor of Humanity could establish connections with everyone, draw everyone into the game, and encompass everyone within the Qi field?]

[We must construct a human ancestor that encompasses all the qualities of all people, like the first cloud, the first thunderbolt, the first tree, and the first blade of grass.]

However, humans are different from the universe and all things in it; the universe and I were born together, and all things are one with me.

No single physiognomy can encompass the physiognomy of everyone in the world. Because people change; even the most rudimentary books on physiognomy are updated every few decades, let alone human beings themselves.

Since we cannot define humanity by our ancestor, let us define our ancestor by humanity itself.

【………】

"Human ancestors are constantly changing with humans, and the loss of myself is fundamentally unavoidable!"

"If Fuxi does not evolve the heavens, the heavenly realm will not exist. If he does evolve the heavens, he will fall into ruin again and perish without me."

"The heavens need a world consciousness at the data level, and they also need a world consciousness at the spiritual level. The material for building this spiritual world consciousness is the Azure Emperor Fuxi."

Ascended beings are not easily annihilated, especially the Heavenly Emperor who created the Heavenly Realm. Unless the Heavenly Realm is completely destroyed, a trace of their soul can always be left behind.

However, the revival of a remnant soul is not an easy task. There are too many immortal spirits in the cultivation world that have not been revived, and revival is never an easy task.

Fuxi knew the outcome from the very beginning of the revival.

Images of my tribe hunting, gathering, slash-and-burn agriculture, fire, and drilling wood flashed through my mind, but everything was blurry and did not collapse into substantial information.

These memories are false and not real.

Only uncertain and ambiguous information will not conflict with the remnant soul of Fuxi.

He possesses the wisdom and insights of Fuxi, and by combining historical materials, it is still possible to reconstruct some of the truth from the information.

As self-awareness is continuously lost, one gets closer and closer to the legendary true Green Emperor.

His body gradually became ethereal and transparent, and in the instant he vanished, he suddenly uttered a question: "Do you think there are many cultivators on this land?"
