Myriad Paths

How does it feel to see...?

Lucky tried to describe this feeling to himself in his heart.

In fact, it can still be described as ‘tactile’.

If you think about it carefully, the essence of the so-called 'vision' is that the body is folded into a special shape and receives collisions from the outside world. However, this collision is relatively weak. It is the image formed by photons constantly impacting the retina. The retina and Photons have direct contact.

The essence of visual cells is proteins and nerve cells that are folded into special shapes by grinding, and then continuously receive the impact of photons, causing deformation, and then producing electrical signals that can be understood.

Well, in essence, this is also a kind of touch, which is no different from the folding and collision of one's own body as a manifold.

The eyes are very sensitive, so sensitive that they can feel the subtle collision of photons, analyze the different wavelengths of photons, and turn them into 'vision'. In fact, it is no different from touch, it is just the collision of 'branes'.

However, this is a little troublesome for Lucky.

For humans, analyzing this kind of impact is completely instinctive and does not require any learning or using the brain to understand how to control heartbeat and breathing. These functions are preset and innate.

There is no need to know the principles of balance movement and pronunciation. Those are the hardware functions that come with the machine. There is no need to learn additional memory skills. They are built-in algorithms. Even many visual and spatial perception abilities are ready-made software in the brain.

As early as countless years of evolution, such learning and iterative accumulation of software and hardware have been completed. In this way, life achieves the evolution of inheritance in a limited lifespan.

Genes solve all the problems of knowledge explosion, so everyone does not have to learn balance to control the body like Lucky, or learn to perceive the impact of light to distinguish things. If you really want to learn... this is definitely harder than imagined.

Fortunately, Lucky is from the Manifold tribe. The Manifold tribe is born with super powerful information processing capabilities, and he is already at the seventh level.

In just a few minutes, he had quickly learned this special touch, which was just another tactile algorithm anyway.

After a few more minutes, he was already familiar with all the folding information of each part of the body, and clearly understood how each cell folded, how it worked, what shape it was, the properties it obtained when folded, and how it should be used. Perceive and learn clearly.

Then, he opened his eyes and looked at the 'shadow' in front of him.

No, it’s called ‘Li Qi’, right?

"...What's going on? What's your purpose?" Lucky staggered two steps, but he quickly adapted to a world with gravity and entities.

Li Qi looked at Laqi, who was gradually transforming from a folded high-dimensional membrane into a human form in front of him, and then pointed behind him: "Look at that."

Lucky cast his gaze over there.

Then, he saw... areas of high energy levels and low energy levels.

That's where I come from.

So, did you live in that kind of place?

Are the so-called high energy levels and low energy levels the manifestation of ‘yin and yang’?

Yin and Yang, the sun and the moon, and the ‘Chen Ji’, the place surrounded by all dimensions, the absolute center, is the top of the ‘Mexican Hat’, which is also the birthplace of the manifold race.

There, the dimensions are bent, and turbulence occasionally appears in the rapids of the river of dimensions.

As a result, intelligent life emerged from the turbulent flow. Most of them would be terrified at the moment of separation, and then fall back into the dream-like whole.

But there are still some that can escape, just like the virtual particle pairs escaping at the edge of the black hole, escaping from the event interface and turning into Hawking radiation.

Therefore, many slender beings are slowly sliding across the expanding chest of time and space.

It turns out that this is how my race and world appeared.

Laqi watched all this, and then looked at Li Qi.

"Then...they are my creators, right? What about you?" Laqi looked at Li Qi and asked.

"Me? Well, I'm just a passerby. However, if you have to talk about the relationship, I am the husband of your creator. Oh, half of your husband, and the other half is your brother-in-law. Of course, I know you don't know what these are yet. mean."

"Here is a book. You can read it and learn the knowledge inside, so that you can communicate well with me." Li Qi handed the other party a book made purely of bookishness.

The Manifold tribe has no concept of a husband, they don’t even have a family structure, and reproduction relies on group resonance, and there is no gender to speak of, so Lucky needs to read and learn these things.

"Why did you choose me to leave there?" Lucky asked.

"You have talents, and you have talents that are different from other manifolds. I admire you very much. You are a genius." Li Qi said: "Moreover, I found that your processing ability even surpassed me when I was young. "

With that said, Li Qi gave a gentle push: "Read the book first. After you finish reading, we will talk about the rest."

Lucky was pushed aside.

He glanced around again, then chose to sit down and start reading.

Li Qi also continued to be immersed in the world created by the Wutu sisters. He was feeling the evolution of these worlds because he discovered that this was the "heel" of the Wutu sisters.

Yang Ning... is going to level four.

Shen Shuibi seems to be able to realize a newer level through this. The secret of Chenji's golden elixir method seems to be emerging, and Li Qi is also paying close attention.

"I seem to understand that my existence can help you understand that kind of thing, right?" Lucky said.

Li Qi originally pushed him aside and was about to do his own thing, but Lucky's words attracted Li Qi's attention back.

"Can you actually understand?" Li Qi divided into a dharma body and said.

"You said that I have talent, didn't you? So it seems that you have the intention to cultivate me. I am valuable to you, so... is there anything about me that can attract your attention?" Lucky cautiously said asked.

He has already felt the greatness of the ‘shadow’ in front of him.

It was then that La Qi discovered that he had actually been coexisting with a being so huge that his whole body could not be seen, and coexisting with him in a world full of mist.

These giant objects are crossing over the heads of the Manifold Tribe, invisibly ruling everything. However, they are so big that people only feel the huge wind brought by them when they pass by, but they do not really know the cause of the huge wind. And rise.

The barrier of information is fog, but even without this fog, when it stands in front of you, you can only see the fur on its toes, and you still can't understand what it looks like.

It is never an exaggeration to call the other party a tyrant who dominates reality.

Although the other party seems to be very kind, his mere existence is enough to bear the title of tyrant. He does not need to commit any actual cruel acts, because his existence is to do violence to all reality.

His existence is to insult 'reality', insult other living beings, and laugh at their nothingness. With his own stability, he vividly displays the nothingness of other living beings.

In his presence, everything will doubt itself.

This is violence more terrifying than killing, and killing is at least equal.

If the essence of killing is the destruction of one thing to another.

Then, Li Qi's existence is evidence of the destruction of all things. He does not need to take action, because of his reality, all things naturally have no meaning of existence.

Therefore, Li Qi's existence is essentially equivalent to the destruction of all things. He proved that all things are meaningless, including the existence of Lachi, which has no use.

What kind of killing could compare to this?

He didn't need to take action, and he didn't have to show off his arrogance. His mere existence made everything lose the value of its existence, and he didn't even raise his eyes.

That’s why Lucky used the title ‘Lord of Creator’.

But this idea surprised Li Qi again.

"You... didn't collapse?" Li Qi asked.

"Why...why did I collapse?" Lucky was puzzled.

"Normally speaking, even some fifth-grade people... Oh, just understand it as people who are many times stronger than you. Even people who are much stronger than you will collapse after realizing this."

Li Qizhui asked: "Moreover, they can't even realize this. Tell me, how did you learn about my power?"

"Intuition? I felt like this when you dragged me out of there. I could feel that my existence was quite thin. In your hands, even information and memories seemed to be shaking. As long as you A gentle handshake and I'm no longer myself," Lucky replied.

It was a really terrifying experience, and Lachi didn't know why he didn't collapse. Maybe he had a big heart.

Imagine that a human being suddenly discovers one day...

The show is over, the actors undress, the stage is dismantled - and human history is complete.

So, will he go crazy?

Will he have so much doubt about the world he has been living in that his worldview and outlook on life will completely collapse and disappear?

This is the ‘breakdown of the Taoist heart’.

If you are a mortal, Taoist heart collapse is nothing more than continuous fatigue, loss of all motivation, and finally wanting to commit suicide.

But if they are practitioners, they have a large amount of qi running in their bodies, which was controlled by the Tao Heart in the past. If the Tao Heart collapses, the qi will directly lose control and then implode.

Of course, you can also directly become a demon and control everything with your demonic mind.

But Lucky chose neither.

He said: "As for why it doesn't collapse... I feel that this is nothing to collapse. Since it has happened, since it exists, then just accept it. All this is not harder to accept than what was given to me at the beginning."

Lucky figured that none of this was any harder to swallow than what had been given to him in the first place. He'd already been through it once.

This answer made Li Qi very satisfied.

At the beginning, Li Qi gave Lachi the information on his palm, which was part of the physical signs from the third level and the manifestation of Tao Yun.

These Taoist rhymes are completely inconsistent with all of Lachi's knowledge. If he wants to accept them, he has to give up everything he knows about the Manifold Tribe.

Generally speaking, for mortals, this kind of pointless behavior will cause them to give up quickly, or indulge in it and make a mess of themselves.

Studying meaningless things will not have any beneficial effects, and a formula that can change the world may not make you eat a meal.

What's more, these formulas can't change the world at all, because they are different from the basic operating logic of the world where the manifold family lives. What Lucky has studied for his whole life is actually some 'setting set' that does not exist in this world.

That is Li Qi's own set of settings, and it has nothing to do with the Manifold Clan. No matter how much research you do, it is useless. You can only sigh at the exquisite settings, and then it's over.

Nothing can be applied to reality, nothing can appear in reality.

What he studies is the knowledge of another world, which is completely different from the beginning. It subverts all common sense and shatters all common cognitions. It is impossible to study it without shattering the original world view.

Therefore, in the eyes of any manifold, Lucky is a madman and a weirdo, just like a madman who was brainwashed by the knowledge of Cthulhu and became a cultist.

No, not 'as if', he is.

To him, Li Qi was no different from an outside god.

But he was still precise, with extraordinary intuition and persistence, and finally waited until he was promoted by Li Qi.

So, at this moment, Li Qi said to him: "That's a good answer. You have incredible intuition, and you have the tenacity to accept subversion of the world's cognition, and you even have the ability to process information flow."

"Originally I wanted to examine you, but now I don't think any follow-up is necessary."

"Lachi, do you want to be my disciple?"

Lucky asked in confusion: "What is a disciple?"

"Nothing, just read the book first. After you read all this, you will understand that I won't need to explain so much when I communicate with you." Li Qi smiled, and then the dharma body dissipated.

Lucky understood, so he started reading. He knew that he needed to supplement his knowledge of the world.

On the other side, the Usagi sisters are still carrying out their own fusion.

Li Qi looked at everything. The secret of Chenji's golden elixir method was a first-class opportunity, and the things contained in it could definitely benefit Li Qi. Strictly speaking, he was stealing from his master.

But it was a rabbit that was stolen, so neither of them paid much attention.

There, their powers are completely intertwined, and between the rotation of Yin and Yang, the essence of time and space is also revealed.

That is, what is the most... most basic unit that constitutes the current material universe? The answer is: matter is "infinitely" divisible, and the result is smaller and smaller matter, but it will never be equal to zero. In the case of "infinitely" divided matter, the only quantity that does not disappear is space.

This gave Li Qisheng a doubt.

Could it be said that...the essence of matter is space, and space is matter?

This seems very possible.
