"spirit.

When I saw the ethereal mist of the Dark Spirit Sea for the first time, when the whirling holy priest gave me the Horcrux, when the voice of the Naaru spirit sounded in my heart, when I crossed the spiritual door, when I When I listen to the call from the fundamental world, when I watch the origin and destruction of life in the fundamental world, when I witness chaos and existence, I always wonder, what exactly is spirit?

The Creation Titan said that spirit is the arc of order.

Emperor Haotian of the Central Imperial Dynasty, the city of thousands of cities, with its capital in Yujing, said that the spirit is the Tao.

Hogwarts, Naaru's Nest, Harlan Potter of Makosik City said that spirit is the source of magic.

In the hollow hills, on the banks of the Great Swamp, the goblin in the city of Avalon said that the spirit is the jumping note in the grandmother's song.

The Great Pyramid, the giant in the land of Tiga said that spirit is light.

In the kingdom of the dead, the Queen of the Undercity said that spirits are wandering lonely souls.

Nidhogg under the World Tree said that the spirit is the trumpet before Ragnarok.

In the fundamental world, the Vulcans of Type III civilization say that spirit is energy.

In the fundamental world, the Cybertronians of mechanical life say that spirit is fire.

In the fundamental world, Earthlings from Type 2 civilization say that spirit is dark matter.

In the basic world, people from Type 1 Civilization Tower say that the spirit is Samach (I still can’t understand what this word means).

Please forgive me for not being able to list them all. In my long life, I have gradually heard more and more answers. Almost every life has given the spirit a unique meaning, representing its own understanding of existence and order.

Dear reader, if you want to see a definite answer from the following, I'm sorry, you are destined to be disappointed, because to this day, I still do not understand everything about the spirit.

However, I believe that one day, there will be a being who understands the true meaning of spirit and tells us the meaning of "existence". "

Li Liang read this short preface many times, and he didn't come back to his senses until he choked on a mouthful of cold coffee.

If those people and civilizations mentioned in the preface are real... what a magnificent world will be outside the gate of the deep sea?

Is human civilization, which spans just tens of thousands of years, really just like a drop in the ocean, so insignificant?

At the same time, this seemingly ordinary book is also very magical.

When Li Liang's eyes fell on the page, the text automatically converted into Chinese characters. When he looked away, he could notice from the corner of his eye that the text was constantly changing. The most peculiar thing was that once the preface turned into a circle .

Probably those inexplicable symbols and circles are the languages ​​​​of other civilizations.

Li Liang took a deep breath and slowly turned to the second page.

"1. The Origin of Spirit

How is the spirit born? I once asked the Holy Priest of Posha..."

After spending half an hour reading the second chapter, Li Liang felt something.

What it’s like to take a complex variable function class in college.

Laughing to death, I can’t understand it at all.

But this is normal. Although Tam looks a little silly, he is very rigorous when writing books. He often includes a large number of explanatory quotes in the text to facilitate the understanding of intelligent creatures from different civilizations. Many quotes from civilizations are quite obscure and difficult to understand. , of course humans are fine.

For example, human research results on dark matter are marked as being taken from the "system literature database of Xi'an Corporation, a human dictatorship organization."

Judging from a few brief introductions, Li Liang finally learned that Xi'an Company has been able to initially apply dark matter. Not only is it used to achieve planetary development, but a key technological breakthrough in the anti-gravity drive system used by civilians daily also comes from dark matter research. .

But he, and almost all civilians, knew nothing about it.

Xi'an, its subsidiaries and outsourcing companies in various industries have infinitely subdivided work. Every civilian is like a worker on an assembly line. They only need and often can only learn the skills required for their own work. People don't even know what they do every day. What is the meaning of all the work we are doing?

Currency circulation, commerce, free basic education, entertainment, and public welfare, these things make the world seem normal and fair, but Li Liang feels more and more that human civilization at this moment is illusory and was made in Xi'an. As the script runs, the group has been blinded.

Sighing, Li Liang rubbed his eyebrows and then turned to the third page.

"2. Starting from the Gate of Spiritual Principle

I realized that exploring the origin of spirits is a very difficult thing, not only because the ancient gods have long fallen asleep and the Titan leaders are busy discussing how to deal with carbon-based creatures, but also because of the complexity of the multidimensional world and the unobservable discreteness in the attributes of time. sexual random variable.

However, there is an obvious answer to when the spirit began to be contacted and applied by life.

Everything starts from the spiritual door.

Fifteen centuries ago (one century is equivalent to 129,600 years of human civilization), the Gate of Spiritual Principle suddenly appeared in the Dark Spirit Sea.

I once asked a certain Creation Titan..."

This chapter is very long, mainly because... the "Creation Titan" is too verbose.

Without the pattern, Li Liang couldn't imagine what kind of creature this was, but he could understand the way they spoke.

To express something clearly in one sentence, you have to pile up gorgeous words. At first glance, they are all adjectives, but Tam quoted them intact into the text.

However, he still figured out what the Gate of Spiritual Reason or the Gate of the Deep Sea was about.

Before the fifteenth era, or even earlier, the Titans, a local group in the spiritual world, discovered that some time and space passages appeared in the Dark Spirit Sea, leading to different universes, that is, the spiritual world.

Subsequently, these extremely long-lived demigod creatures discussed for three entire eras, and finally came to a conclusion: "The rules of these universes are very interesting, and there is no need to destroy them."

When they ended the meeting, they discovered that during the three eras, many creatures from the physical world had begun to fearfully explore their hometown.

So, the Titan leaders held another "emergency" meeting, which lasted only... one era.

By the time they gathered again, the goblins, undead and mechanical beings had established their own city-states and expanded their territories.

Fortunately, the Titans had foreseen this situation and no longer had to spend time in meetings, but immediately announced the rules of the spiritual world to all "guests".

Subsequently, more and more spiritual gates began to appear, and more and more species, ethnic groups, and civilizations entered the spiritual world and brought knowledge about spirituality back to their respective fundamental worlds.

Until... three epochs ago, the spiritual door to a certain carbon-based civilization was opened.

With their excellent perception and control, carbon-based creatures quickly mastered the power given by the spirit and swept the entire spiritual world.

The Titan leaders were deeply worried, so they held another meeting, which has not ended yet.

Finally, in the list of "Recently Appeared Spiritual Doors" that Tam attached at the end of this chapter, Li Liang saw the "Gate to the Deep Sea, Earth".

Li Liang closed the book and prepared to digest it before continuing.

In just one and a half hours, his outlook on life had been shattered into pieces.

If it hadn't been for what he had experienced during this period, he would have thought this was a science fiction book for children.

Dang Dang.

There was a knock on the door, and a nurse opened the door and said, "Mr. Li Liang, the old man in the next ward is awake and wants to see you."
