“…The heavenly spirits are different, they are born in response to the Tao and carry out the Tao on behalf of Heaven [1].
However, there has always been debate in the academic community as to whether the 'Heavenly Spirit' actually exists.
The mainstream view is that, limited to the physiological structure, the upper limit of the 'inspiration' of intelligent life must be lower than that of phantom species, otherwise its self-awareness will quickly disintegrate and regress to a state of zero consciousness [2].
However, the chief navigator of the Explorers Association and the legendary explorer Brian Bronzebeard insisted that in the Land of the Fallen Gods, inside the Forge of Will, there lived a unique creature whose individuals were infinitely close to the state of zero consciousness, but could Connected in some way to form a unified self-awareness. The group not only has the basic characteristics of intelligent life, but also satisfies the three important characteristics of "Tianling" in the "Tianling Conjecture": traceability, dominance, and accommodation [3].
Since Brann Bronzebeard refused to disclose the surging mechanism at the entrance to the Forge of Will, the author has reservations about whether this creature actually exists.
However, according to the latest paper recently published by the "Third Institute of Psychic Species Research" in the journal "Spiritual World", under experimental conditions, some phantom species have a certain degree of profit-seeking tendency.
As we all know, one of the reasons why the 'Tian Ling Conjecture' has been criticized is precisely the four stages of existence of the 'Tian Ling' creature described by Dodo Disal, namely zero consciousness, enlightenment, closed loop, and return to zero [4]. It is considered to be a hypothesis based on a thought experiment and has no practical significance.
The experimental results of the Third Academy of Psychic Species Research undoubtedly provide strong support for Dodo Disal's theory.
Once it is proven that the spiritual species can evolve from the zero-consciousness stage to the enlightenment stage, it proves that the zero-return phenomenon can be reversed. Then, there will be a certain probability in the vast spiritual world that there are intelligent creatures in a closed-loop state with unresolved self-consciousness.
There is no doubt that there will be a new discussion in the academic world regarding 'Tian Ling'.
Let’s get back to the question about Taoist tools,…”
After reading this paragraph, Li Liang was stunned.
What does this all mean?
What is a phantom species?
Is co-writing "Tian Ling" just a conjecture?
Li Liang pondered for a moment without any clue, then picked up the book "Learning Magic from Scratch" again.
This time I read more carefully, and finally found the content about Tianling in Chapter 7.
After a quick browse, he found that this part of the content was similar to "Introduction to Taoism". The only difference was that there was an additional paragraph describing the "closed loop" state of Tianling:
"...In addition, if the 'closed-loop' state of the heavenly spirit really exists, it means that it has overcome the shortcomings of the phantom species and can perfectly hide its own characteristics. It will be a real nightmare for all people who use magic.
Because it is difficult for you to tell the difference between it and normal creatures, and once it becomes hostile to you, it can shake your essence at any time, intervene in your path, and control your spiritual consumption, and all you can do is probably beg for mercy.
Therefore, this chapter repeatedly emphasizes that over-reliance on Horcruxes is a bad habit..."
Putting down the book, Li Liang pinched his eyebrows.
Although the two books have very few descriptions of Tianling, from the few words, he has realized that this talent is very special. If it is known to some forces, he is likely to be captured and used as a guinea pig, or made into a specimen and released. Exhibit in the museum.
At present, apart from Tam knowing the inside story, the mysterious and powerful Emperor Haotian may also be helping him for this reason.
As for Deep Blue, it doesn't seem to care about this kind of thing, and Child Li and Saolis don't need to think about it.
Li Liang couldn't help but feel lucky that he had decisively killed the three of them before. Otherwise, when those three guys figured out a way out, there would be endless trouble waiting for him.
In addition, although these two books are free gifts, they are full of useful information for him and are worth reading carefully. It is best to memorize them in full.
If the research results of this group of "experts" are reliable, then he is probably in a "closed loop" state now, because literally, zero consciousness sounds like a fool, and enlightenment sounds like the stage of just becoming conscious, and it is very easy to return to zero. Apparently he has become a fool again.
"'Closed loop' can perfectly hide its own characteristics" This sentence is very important.
Li Liang guessed that it was possible that he no longer attracted spirits and ghosts.
It is enough to know this for now. As for whether I will become a fool in the future...
"The Holy Prophet,"
Seolisi's voice interrupted Li Liang's thoughts, "The gravity equipment has been assembled."
"Huh?" Li Liang looked up and noticed that in the center of the cleared area, a "harp" was emitting a blue glow and buzzing.
Li Liang nodded and began to pack the books slowly.
Now, another choice was before him.
Return to earth or stay in the spiritual world.
Although there are certain dangers in staying in the spiritual world, there are more opportunities.
From chatting with Shenlan, Li Liang has discovered that most basic magic and basic Taoism are widely spread public knowledge. There are many channels for learning. With his Tianling physique, it must not be difficult to learn.
In addition, the Wang Lao group is also rushing to Makosik City, and there are many things that the two sides can do after they meet.
Regarding "chaos", Feijian and Emperor Haotian may soon find answers to their questions.
However.
Li Liang knew better.
The reason why the Dros Clan only sent out their team a year after the Netherworld Invasion occurred shows that they were caught off guard by the opportunity and spent a year preparing for it. This proves from the side that Xi'an's attitude is very firm and will not allow deep sea invasion unless under special circumstances. The door is open.
After Kid Li returns to Earth, the gate to the deep sea will definitely close immediately, and I don’t know when it will open again.
In his last memory of a thousand years ago, he was still troubled by not being able to turn around and look at his brother and father. But now, he already knew that he had lost ninety years of memory, and knew that he probably had a complete life. Really Can you leave everything in the past behind and "play house without entering"?
More importantly, if the gate to the deep sea is not open for ten or twenty years...
When Massey gets old, he may never know for the rest of his life that the guy he dragged back from the garbage dump is actually not dead.
Li Liang suddenly felt that people are born lonely, and perhaps it is these bonds that connect people to the world.
He has already "died" once, and all traces of his existence have disappeared in time. Now, he doesn't want to "die" a second time.
Stacking the four books together and holding them in his arms, he slowly walked to the "harp".
"You...Mr. Prophet," Child Li hesitated, "Are you also going to Earth?"
"Well," Li Liang smiled, "I'm going to meet a friend."
"All right……"
Li child fluttered his hair, took a deep breath, stretched out his little hand, and gently played the "strings" four times in a certain rhythm.
The "harp" vibrated and made an even louder buzzing sound.
Li's face was solemn, and he played the "strings" again with the same rhythm.
A few seconds later.
The light emitted by the "harp" suddenly brightened, and the strings began to curve on their own as if being moved by an invisible hand.
Li kid wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief: "We've been contacted."
As he spoke, he turned to look at the display screen at the bottom of the harp.
A line of words appeared on the small retro LCD screen: "Zhenjie Fort has been received, 8421."
