Demon Lord 3

When he mentioned another consciousness, I was reminded of the schizophrenia I mentioned earlier. I asked if that was considered a mental illness. He said that in his world, there's no such thing as a mental illness; everything is just a figment of one's imagination, and there's a distinction between the mind and consciousness. I was stunned by this question. What's the difference between the mind and consciousness? He said that in our world, mental illness is understood as a unique existence, but consciousness is different. Consciousness has multiple voices, and it's normal to have multiple consciousnesses. Everyone has different moods and self-regulation, and these aren't necessarily bad. So, having multiple consciousnesses is normal, but having multiple spirits is wrong. He doesn't believe in spirits; he believes in consciousness, so having multiple consciousnesses doesn't matter. However, those who believe in spirits believe that having multiple consciousnesses contradicts the spiritual world. I asked him, if multiple worlds conflicted, what would he choose? If his previous beliefs collapsed, and only one consciousness could survive, what would he choose? He smiled and said, "Why must I choose to survive when everything has collapsed? I think this may be a relief for me. Don't you think my life is a very painful thing? I can't die even if I want to. Consciousness is immortal, and so is the body. Maybe you can't even see my body. It's already too much for you. Don't you think this is a very difficult thing? Living may be like watching you move. You are the kind of snails and sloths that crawl very slowly. I want to observe you and record you, so my life is long, and your life is short. Maybe in my world you are not even as good as an ant crawling, but I have to observe you carefully. I don't know if this is a reward or punishment from God. Maybe chatting with you is the happiest thing in these years. For you, ten or twenty years may be a long time, but I think hundreds or thousands of years are very ordinary." After listening, I also He said, maybe I can understand all this, after all, there is a big gap between the big world and the ordinary world. In comparison, I still like the life in the big world. Maybe I want to see how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. After listening to me, he asked me if I could use "not knowing how high the sky is and how thick the earth is" to describe it. I asked him if he knew how high the sky is and how thick the earth is. Maybe he didn't know. He said he knew, he could see how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. I smiled coldly and said that this was just him seeing our sky and our earth. I watched snails reading books, and the entrance of their holes was only this low, so I let him see the sky and the earth of his dimension. After listening, he was also stunned. Maybe, it might be easy for him to see everything here, but it would take a lot of time to see what was going on over there. Maybe he would be born in a cage all his life. He asked me if there would be many powerful people observing him? But he's the only one left in that dimension. Even though he's the only one left, I have a feeling someone's observing him. Perhaps our abilities are too low, so we need to be observed together for easier comparison. But his realm is incredibly advanced, especially his IQ, or perhaps his dimension. He's inherently more advanced than ours. He's naturally gifted with a divine body, so he needs to be held in solitary confinement. Keeping him here would be a waste of his talent and could even affect the overall situation. He asked if I thought he was amazing. I nodded, then shook my head. I didn't think he was that amazing. Perhaps he just enjoys solitude. He said, "Maybe loneliness is hard for him, too." He asked why I didn't think he was amazing. I said there was nothing amazing about what he did. Here, he was just a little more capable than us, just like eating and drinking better. He's definitely stronger physically, but that doesn't mean he'll always be that way. I can always work hard. Since he can maintain a connection with my consciousness, it means I'm not bad either. He smiled slightly and said that he was overestimating his own abilities. After hearing that, my mood instantly plummeted to the bottom. What does it mean to overestimate one's own abilities? What I did was obviously normal. It was he who overestimated his own abilities. His abilities were indeed strong, but that was only for now and did not represent the future. It was possible that I would surpass him and even be above him.
