Necromancer Farming Notes Figure Master

"Therefore, afflictions are not enemies, but rather teachers. Just as our bodies have the sense of touch, which allows us to distinguish dangers, when we feel pain through touch, it means that something around us is harming our bodies. Similarly, afflictions are the pain of our minds."

“When we feel troubled, we need to observe what is hurting our hearts,” Seren said.

“Selian, our troubles are usually caused by external circumstances. But you also said that when our ideal world enters our hearts, our troubles disappear. Isn’t that a contradiction? After all, the inner world and the external world are two different things,” a student asked.

Upon hearing this, Seren smiled.

“From the perspective of the world, the mind and the world are indeed not unified; one is inside and the other is outside.”

“But this is actually an illusion. The mind and the external environment are one; there is no distinction between inside and outside,” Seren said.

"How is that possible? If that were true, then the external environment should change just by thinking about it!" the student continued to press.

“That’s a good question. I don’t know if anyone here has ever played computer games?” Seren asked.

"Yes, we've played it!" The students raised their hands one after another.

Everyone here comes from a well-off family, and although computers are relatively expensive now, everyone owns one. And everyone has definitely tried playing games.

The games are still quite rough around the edges, but they already have the core elements that games should have.

"Alright, since everyone has played it, does everyone know how the game works?" Seren asked.

"I don't know much about this..."

"Let me explain it simply. When everyone is offline, that is, when there is only one player in the game."

"We players are the absolute protagonists of this game. When we pass through an area, that area will be loaded by the computer. When we leave that area, that area will be hidden by the computer to reduce memory consumption."

"Our real world is like this too. If I were the only life left in this world, then when I walk through this world, the places I pass by will be loaded into my heart."

"And when I go far away, the places that I can no longer observe will fall into chaos. That is, we think they don't exist. But as long as I go back to that place, it will be loaded again."

As Seren was speaking, a student raised his hand.

"Selian! Your statement sounds like a scientist's idea. Has anyone heard of Schrödinger's cat?"

"Oh, I've heard of that!"

Everyone had good grades and a lot of extracurricular knowledge. So when this was mentioned, everyone nodded in agreement.

Seren nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, just like Schrödinger's cat, a cat is in a superposition of life and death when it is not observed by us, but once we observe it, its life or death is determined."

"However, this experiment is not rigorous because cats are conscious beings, so during the time their consciousness exists, their state remains the same."

“But we don’t need to dwell on this; as long as everyone understands,” Seren said.

“We understand. What you mean, Seren, is that the world we live in is like a game, and we are the absolute protagonists of this world, and the areas we are in are automatically loaded by our hearts? Is that what you mean?” one student concluded.

“That’s exactly what I mean.” Seren nodded.

"But who set up this world? Is there really a god, or a divine will?" The students were somewhat confused.

“That God is ourselves. Don’t I often say that my heart is the will of God? The will of God and we are one.”

"The reason why we cannot change the outside world through mental transformation is because each of us is the protagonist. Or rather, every conscious being is the protagonist."

"The main characters can share data with each other."

"When we play single-player games, we can use a trainer to freely modify our game values, but we can't do that when we play online games."

"Because there is a server in this online game that connects all players. It monitors player data in real time and refreshes it."

“But there are far more beings in the real world than just us, so when our minds change, we can’t influence changes in the outside world. Because there’s a ‘server’ in reality that constantly synchronizes our data,” Seren said. “And that server is what we call destiny or God.”

After Seren's explanation, everyone understood.

However, another student asked, "But isn't this just a theory? We still can't prove that the real world and the outside world are one. And to prove your theory, you would have to make sure that only one living being remains in the world, which is too unrealistic."

“Hey, there’s no need to go through all that trouble. When you’re dreaming, isn’t it like playing a single-player game? Aren’t you all-powerful in your dreams?” another student said directly.

"Ok?"

Everyone was astonished upon hearing this. None of them had ever considered this question before.

Indeed, in dreams, you are in control. Basically, whatever you think of appears in your dream. The only downside is that you're not fully conscious in your dreams and can't make those decisions for yourself.

But if one could truly be in control, then one would indeed be omnipotent, able to change the world in one's dreams at will.

"So, what you're saying, Seren, is that we're all currently in a collective dream world or online game? The reason we can't do whatever we want is because of server limitations?"

Seren clapped his hands in response. “Everyone is very smart, that’s exactly what I meant.”

"But where is the server that connects all of us?" Everyone was a little curious.

"To explain this, we can refer to the theory proposed by Parker."

When Parker was mentioned, everyone's expressions became somewhat strange.

"Don't make that face, everyone. This world is just a game, and the so-called hostility and friendship are just part of the game. The important thing is for everyone to understand what kind of environment they are in. Don't be influenced by the environment, but try to change it. Even if you can't change the environment, you should at least adjust your mindset," Seren said.

Then Serenity began to explain Parker's theory to everyone.

Everyone was deeply shocked after hearing it.

"So, it's not that difficult to create this world? All it takes is a tiny particle moving at an extremely high speed?" The students' worldviews were once again challenged.

“Actually, this process can be made even simpler; the smallest particle doesn’t even need to move,” the Dragon King said at this moment.

"Huh?" The crowd was puzzled and looked at the Dragon King.

"Let's take that online game example again. From your perspective, when your game character moves, does the computer screen move?" The Dragon King's words were like a wake-up call.

"The screen doesn't move, but the image does... Could it be that the particle is just a screen too?"

"Pretty much. That particle never moved, but the information it carried was constantly changing. When the information appeared, it formed a real phantom. When the information disappeared, it also disappeared and entered a superposition state."

"Therefore, all things in the world are just an elaborate illusion. You and I are both in a dream, or rather, in a large-scale online game."

"That superposition state particle contains infinite information; it is a database and a server. It connects you and me, and constitutes you and me. And this particle is our true essence; our current physical body is just a mass of information, an illusion."

"Huh?" Although everyone understood what it meant, they simply couldn't accept it.

After all, this world is so real. So real that they can't even muster a shred of doubt.

“If that’s really the case, then why do we build an ideal world in our minds? We can do whatever we want! After all, it’s all fake!” One student fell into nihilism.

"My friend, we build our ideal world in our hearts, of course, so we can have more fun! Do you only want to experience this one world?" the Dragon King laughed.

"Huh?" Everyone was stunned again.

"Actually, besides our world, there are over 400 other worlds. And beyond those worlds, there's another great world, and beyond that great world, there are countless other worlds. Each of them has its own unique characteristics. Don't you all want to go and see them?" the Dragon King asked.

"Ah!! We want to go see!" Everyone suddenly became excited.

"That's good! And the sole purpose of building our ideal kingdom in our hearts is to better experience this colorful world. Because it is both real and unreal," the Dragon King laughed.

The Dragon King's words stirred everyone's hearts. Now, they no longer felt that life was meaningless. They realized there were so many interesting things outside the world waiting for them to experience.

After a brief moment of excitement, the crowd cooled down. After all, they still harbored some doubts, as they couldn't be certain whether what the Dragon King had said was true or false.

"Dragon King, why do you say that if you build an ideal country in your heart, you can experience other worlds? Is there any connection between them?" a student asked.

"This issue can still be illustrated with computer games. However, while we use computer games, reality is not. Using computer games as an example is merely a convenient way of putting it. Everyone must remember this: cause and effect are infallible. If you do evil in reality, you will inevitably suffer the consequences. This is the law governing all worlds. Unless you want to experience the feeling of suffering," the Dragon King warned.

"Ah~ We know that. After all, didn't the Dragon King say before that we all came here by our own wishes? If we hurt others, the hurt will inevitably make the victim want to take revenge, and this wish will definitely be fulfilled by fate. We know that."

The Dragon King nodded upon hearing this, indicating that everyone still believed in cause and effect.

"Alright, let's get back to the main topic. It's like when we're playing a game, if we want to quit this game and play another one, how would we do that?" the Dragon King asked.

"Of course, you close the current game and then open another game," a student said naturally.

"So, by analogy to the world, how do we shut down the game 'World'?" the Dragon King laughed.

"Uh..." The students looked at each other, puzzled. How should they answer this question?

"Could it be suicide?" one student offered an outrageous answer.

"..." The Dragon King and Seren were both amused and exasperated upon hearing this.

"While what you said isn't entirely wrong, it's the worst way to do it. Because if you do it this way, you'll definitely have a terrible experience in your next life."

"Didn't we say that, according to Parker's theory, our minds are made up of a single thought? And our minds possess the ability of a search engine?"

"If we commit suicide, our last thought will most likely not be a good one."

"And since this thought carries such strong emotion, and emotion is desire, then this thought will be searched in a large database."
