Dragons only want to be in the water, and don't like to stay in the wilderness

Chapter 497 Is Eternal Life a Sin?

“Is immortality a curse?
You will watch the people you love die and watch all the beautiful things you thought were gone.

You will watch everything turn into nothingness, and you will still have to live in the nothingness."

This question was asked to Chen Zhu when he descended into a technological civilization that had already leapt to the second level.

The second-level civilization has explored the highest level below the immortals.

They had endless fantasies about the level of immortals, and during an accidental excavation of cosmic ruins, they found the existence of a sacrificial god. They began to call its name according to the above method, and finally got a response.

Chen Zhu looked at the environment in front of him calmly.

In this huge steel jungle, the sky is precisely customized so that every household can have the weather they want.

So, the sky is full of colorful small squares.

Some are raining, some are sunny, and some are even starry.

Under the colorful little squares, people are wearing flight suits and walking in compliance with traffic rules.

Neon lights shine in every corner you can see. This is a city where technology has reached its peak.

However, at this time he was surrounded by people, who looked at him eagerly, and at the clay altar with three incense sticks burning faintly.

Chen Zhu was standing on an open-air altar, appearing so primitive and simple amidst all the technology.

Here he promised these creatures that he could answer any questions they had before the incense burned out.

I never thought that the first question these people asked would be so philosophical.

All the eye cameras were focused on his face, waiting for her response.

At this time, countless pieces of information were transmitted along the huge signal tower and spread to every corner of this civilization.

"It's incredible. Our world of science first has welcomed a god today!"

"Yes, you are watching the China Securities Television now. We are asking the gods a question. Is this being a higher life form or just a facade? Let us wait and see!"

There are also bloggers who shout wildly to their fans:
"Give some gifts, and I will ask the person who gives the most gifts his questions! We will get guidance from the gods!"

"Is it the answer or a gimmick? It will be revealed today!"

"The method we found in the cosmic ruins actually worked. Does this mean there is a universe outside the universe? And we are actually bugs?"

“He came and broke science! But maybe this is a kind of science that we cannot understand yet?”

Crazy and even insane, each eye was like a grotesque horror growing out of the technological steel jungle, almost embedded in Chen Zhu's body.

In the midst of madness, the figures of the top leaders of this civilization gathered under the altar through projection.

"God..."

A leader whose body was half mechanical whispered: "Our civilization is about to be challenged again."

Next to him, there was a white-haired old man with no wrinkles on his face, and he looked uneasy.

"This is Pandora's box, maybe we shouldn't open it, but... it's done."

The slightly younger leaders had eyes that sparkled with predatory, proud intent.

But no matter what, everyone is waiting for the god's answer at this time.

Chen Zhu was calm and composed, always maintaining a peaceful smile on his face.

He looked at these lives as if he were looking at some ignorant children, casting longing glances at him.

"First, I want to tell you something."

, Chen Zhu's feet fell from the void to the ground: "Your concept of eternal life is a mistake."

"mistake?"

There were cries of surprise and doubt all around. Obviously, this answer was beyond their expectations.

"Eternal life will never fall into the hands of mortals, and I can assure you that there are very few people who truly have eternal life. Even if eternity passes in your world, it is destined to..."

, the image of Master Tongtian flashed through Chen Zhu's mind, and he immediately changed his words:
“Only a tiny chance, like a speck of dust in the universe, can give rise to such an existence.”

"Eternal life is a false concept, so your problem is not a problem at all."

Chen Zhu smiled and said, "So, do you still want to waste time to find out the answer to this question?"

"miss you!"

Below, a reporter walked up to Chen Zhu and asked sincerely, "Isn't the eternal life we ​​understand eternal life?"

"No."

Chen Zhu smiled and looked around:

"It seems that you have decided to continue asking questions, so I will tell you."

"Eternal life is a curse, it is caused by the size of the life itself and the lack of ideology."

"There are too many secrets in this world that even the immortals cannot fully answer. Even if you can see through them, you will still be obsessed with things above these secrets."

"If you have enough ideology, then the concept of time will not exist to a certain extent and will not affect you."

"Naturally, there is no such thing as eternity or everything."

"Mr. God, you don't seem to have answered our questions directly."

The reporter bravely asked again: "What kind of state does the so-called ideology have after it reaches its own size?"

"Is it the same as described in our various movies, TV shows, and novels, omniscient and omnipotent? Or is it another state?"

"You're fine."

Chen Zhu looked at him and said, "If it were someone else, they might not be able to answer your questions, but it happens that I can."

Chen Zhu raised his hand and caught a drop of river water from the sky.

With another snap of his fingers, the river water turned into colorful mist, covering every living creature here.

This scene, created by a force that is completely independent of technology, is deeply reflected in everyone's heart.

Before they could even sigh in admiration, they were soon shocked by the colorful water mist.

In the mist, the voice of the gods can be clearly heard, still like a spring breeze.

"I will let you experience the feeling of an innate creature for a moment. Only for a moment, but it is enough for you to understand what it means to have enough volume and enough ideology."

At this moment, the reporter saw many things that he would never be able to touch.

At this moment, all the doubts in his mind were answered, but at the same moment, endless unanswerable doubts arose.

A moment later, the mist dissipated and everyone came back to their senses as if from a dream.

At this moment, everyone was silent.

But soon, someone screamed!

"I understand, I understand!"

As the media cameras turned, everyone in the civilization watching the live broadcast discovered that it was their civilization's famous scientist - Ferentilde.

At the same time, he is also the originator of the channel-space collision phase technology.

It is said that he is cracking the code of time, and if successful, he can change time to a certain extent.

"I understand, I've figured it out. Everything I did before was wrong. I'm going to start over, and I'm sure I'll succeed this time!"

Chen Zhu glanced at him and nodded slightly.

"Very smart guy, he succeeded."

Why did he say that? Because at this moment, screams were heard one after another.

"Haha, that's how it is. Got it, got it!"

The camera turned again, and everyone was surprised again: "It's Professor Ross! Didn't he say he wouldn't come?"

"Is it Professor Ross who proposed the Ross equation? But as far as I remember, isn't he tens of millions of light years away?"

"Hahaha, this is a great opportunity!"

"It's Orovadolena!"

"God, thank you for your gift!"

"What superstitious words! Wait, isn't this the scientist Xiong Yunjing, who is known as the most determined materialist fighter? How could he say such a thing?"

Everyone discovered that scientists who had never appeared here before had appeared here without them noticing.

"I understand!"

Someone suddenly realized: "Scientist Ferentilde said that his theory of time came true. Does this mean that he has successfully developed a time machine in the future and gathered scientists here?"

"Yeah, no wonder we have no memories from before. These people may be scientists from the future?"

"No, everyone is from the present. I can only pass on the memories of the future to them from the future through the collision device."

In the face of everyone's amazement, Ferentilde spoke. He was well prepared and made a sincere plea to the leaders of the civilizations.

"All philosophical questions are of no use to our civilization at the moment. I, Ferentilde, beg the respected leaders to leave the questions to us."

"We have so many questions we want to ask God. Perhaps, we can find the answer to eternal life for civilization. We can use our knowledge and everything we have for civilization!"

The leaders were silent.

But the incense would not stop burning, and they nodded quickly.

"can."

So, the scientists were ecstatic, and this group of lunatics who were exploring the truth went completely crazy!
They were extremely eager and asked Chen Zhu all their questions at the first opportunity. Everyone was asking and it sounded noisy.

People outside the live broadcast were worried: "With so much noise, can the gods hear clearly?"

“Don’t end up answering questions that are not asked, or you’ll end up with nothing.”

"Will this not anger the gods? After all, Ferentilde is already teasing the gods."

"If God is really a God, he shouldn't care, right?"

Facing all kinds of doubts, Chen Zhu smiled, and at this time he spoke softly.

"Don't use your own cognition to explore me. I said I can answer questions, and I can answer every question that is asked by those who are looking at me."

"As long as you can get all the answers before the incense burns out, you will be lucky."

He was looking at everyone, including all the ordinary people who were not present because of this civilization thousands of light years away from the human eye camera.

Everyone suddenly discovered that for each scientist with a different perspective, the god spoke at a different frequency and the shape of his lips was also inconsistent.

This is almost impossible in the era of 10G with no latency, and technology cannot go wrong.

That only proves that God has many faces!
"God has many faces! The absurdity in the novel has become reality!"

Someone shouted, and then asked loudly in front of the real-time projection:
"How can I achieve eternal life?"

He is greedy.

But he is also smart, and at the same time there are countless greedy people like him.

So Chen Zhu replied: "Eternal life is very simple. You need to keep practicing, increasing and evolving your ideology and physical body size."

This was not the answer they wanted, so they asked frantically: "How exactly should we do it?"

Chen Zhu smiled: "I have the answer, you need to follow it."

However, these greedy people are destined to get no answers.

Because, it is impossible to finish talking about it within the time it takes to burn an incense stick.

However, some really smart people knelt in front of the projection and asked the gods:
"We know that we may never achieve true immortality, but we hope to change and hope there is a glimmer of chance."

"Please God, give us a little hope like cosmic dust before the incense burns out."

The first person to ask this question was an elderly man who had seen too much.

The machines on his body almost took over his entire body, leaving little flesh and blood. He was just barely alive and maintaining his conscious life.

"can."

, Chen Zhu said to him: "You have successfully gained a glimmer of hope. I will give you a method of ghost cultivation."

The old man suddenly accepted the knowledge that was not meant for him. It was the mercy of God.

The incense is coming to an end.

The scientists stopped asking questions at this point, because their questions had reached a point where they could no longer digest the answers.

“You guys are amazing.”

Chen Zhu was very pleased with them: "This reminds me of a junior fellow student of mine. His dedication to science can be said to have reached an extreme."

"Please ask the gods."

A scientist asked: "Do you have a fellow apprentice? Do you have a teacher?"

"Have."

Chen Zhu affirmed: "If you are devout enough and have enough opportunities, you may be able to see him at the end of science."

"The incense is almost burned out, do you have any questions?"

Chen Zhu asked this civilization: "I mean, the real questions, the questions that really interest me."

Appearing in the world as a spirit is also a way for Chen Zhu to seek the truth. While answering everyone's questions, he is actually also helping himself find the way.

The entire civilization was in complete silence.

Everyone was digesting his answer, and in just a short period of time, the level of this civilization was rising rapidly.

From level two, to level three, to level four, it jumps over two levels in succession.

This is incredible, all because of a question and answer session.

Finally, a child looked at the screen on the street and asked.

"God, is there any way to make my mom and dad come back to me?"

She was only about five or six years old, but was disliked by both sides because of her parents' departure.

She really wanted to go back to the past.

This is the most ridiculous question.

Everyone felt that asking God this question was simply blasphemy.

But Chen Zhu answered this question seriously.

He didn't think it was blasphemy, he thought it was the same for everyone.

But at this moment he said expectantly: "I can help you fulfill this wish directly, lucky child, but I want to ask you, do you want to do it yourself, or do you want me to help you fulfill it directly?"

As the place where he landed, Chen Zhu must leave some traces.

This is his habit, just like when he first left his anchor in the river of time.
