In Jiao Zhengyu's eyes, the world of Terra is a life, no different from the creatures living inside it.
The higher the realm, the more thorough the understanding of the meaning of the rules. In the eyes of beings in his realm, mountains, rivers and waves are no longer ordinary dead objects, but part of the great life of the "planet". In some respects, they are existences that are more advanced than human beings.
The atmosphere is the lungs of the planet, the whistling wind is her breath, sometimes long and sometimes violent; the rivers are her blood vessels, the clear blood rushes down from the mountains and rivers, meets in the heart called the ocean, and moves down along with the ocean currents. One cycle.
The thick earth is her skin, the green that grows wantonly on it is her hair, and the countless smart lives are the best decoration of the planet. People are divided into men and women, and planets are also divided into stars and planets. For a planet, these countless lives are equivalent to its clothes, the best way to show off to the outside world.
But only a being like Jiao Zhengyu can understand all of this, and only in the eyes of a being like Jiao Zhengyu can the planet be considered life.
For primitive civilizations and most interstellar civilizations, the planet is just their home for survival. Those with a higher level regard the planet as a tool because they have been able to survive in the endless universe.
They have never treated the planet as a being the same as themselves.
This is also the tragedy of the planet.
Live lonely and passionately.
Of course, this is the result of Jiao Zhengyu's normal thinking as a living being. If he looked at it like a planet, he would only take it for granted.
The planet and people are two completely different life forms. They have nothing in common except that they are both "living beings". Naturally, their brain circuits are also very different.
But starting today, the world of Terra is no longer a lonely planet, because there is one person who is about to feel everything she is thinking.
--------Very sleepy--------
"Feel the great life of this world."
Jiao Zhengyu's words were like a switch, turning off Valentine's control over himself. Just like floating in the sky not long ago, he clearly felt that his consciousness left his body, rising and spreading like a pool of gas, as if it was about to wrap up the entire core city.
If others could see Valentine's consciousness, they would be surprised to find that the core city was covered by a milky white fog in an instant. There was only a vast expanse of white in front of them, and they could not see their fingers.
This is a very mysterious feeling. Valentine can't tell what it is, whether it's comfort or depression. At this time, he has become a "conscious life". Although he still has the emotions he had when he was a human being, he has lost the feedback to touch and cannot feel sharp nerve impulses similar to pain at all.
It was as if he had lost his nervous system, but could still very clearly feel the existence of any life and matter in the core city.
The entire core city was wrapped in Valentine, and the boy's consciousness filled every crevice. The wind that animals bring when they run is Him, the water flowing in pipes is Him, the gases that living things breathe are Him, and the waste gases emitted are also Him.
Valentin wanted to understand how he felt this, but there was nothing in his mind. He froze above the core city, letting his consciousness spread outward, and letting the life wrapped in him enjoy life. .
This couldn't help but remind Valentin of his previous life, when he was in such a mysterious state of trance when facing a big math question in the college entrance examination.
My head is empty and extremely clear. Although it looks a lot better than a ball of paste, the result is the same.
Abandon treatment.
"If you really gave up treatment, you wouldn't be so confused."
It was very rare that Jiao Zhengyu didn't mock Valentine at this time, and his tone was serious.
Valentin, who noticed this sentence, wanted to communicate with Jiao Zhengyu, but found that he could not make a sound at all - conscious life does not have the mouth of material life.
A few wisps of breeze passed through the dense forest, making a rustling sound. A tiger with a thunder tail passed through the forest silently, its orange vertical pupils staring closely at the Ursus soldiers who were cautiously moving forward in the forest not far away, waiting for the opportunity to attack.
This is what Valentine just said, the breeze blowing through the forest. As a conscious being, his influence on matter is minimal. And just like world consciousness, it affects the core city it envelops, not itself.
Naturally, the material beings active in Valentine's consciousness did not "hear" his voice, and were all busy with their own affairs.
After several attempts, Valentin gave up the idea of speaking and instead communicated with Jiao Zhengyu from his heart.
"The speech of material life is through the vibration of vocal cords, and the speech of conscious life is spiritual communication. What you are doing now is a normal communication method."
Jiao Zhengyu's words appeared directly in Valentin's consciousness, allowing him to instantly understand what the other person wanted to express and respond instantly.
"Sounds like psychic energy."
Stars is a good game, and Valentine now only feels it is a pity that he did not play it more during his lifetime.
"It's psychic energy, a kind of science and technology."
These words did not surprise Valentine. After all, Jiao Zhengyu had talked about his understanding of concepts such as materialism a long time ago.
Strictly speaking, these two words should not be related to a specific science and technology.
"But this technology, which is extremely special to material life, is the basic operation of conscious life."
Valentine understood.
Just like material life is born using the throat to make sounds, conscious life will use "spiritual energy" to make sounds once it appears.
Of course, "psionic energy" is the name given to this technology by material life. In the world of conscious life, it is unknown what it is called.
"what should I do?"
He didn't say much and got right to the point.
The leap into life forms was too advanced for Valentine, so he could only obey Jiao Zhengyu's guidance.
"Relax and don't pay too much attention to the fact that you exist."
Jiao Zhengyu recalled the time when he became a conscious life and gave suggestions to Valentine.
"What you thought before, what you still think now."
In the final analysis, material life and conscious life are both lives and have similarities.
"Control your conscious body just as you once controlled your physical body."
For the original Valentine, waving, raising his feet, walking and running were all instinctive, but now he has become a conscious life. This instinct has not disappeared, but the feedback method has been changed.
"In the past, if you wanted to raise your hand, your arm would move without thinking at all. Now you have not lost this ability, but your body has become a little more ethereal and smooth, and you will still get a response for whatever you want to do. of feedback.”
Valentin burst out laughing when he heard this.
Is this a bit illusory? Is this a bit tactful? I feel like my whole body has turned into a big pile of fluffy cotton, which is still spreading! Just a little movement...
He suddenly found that he could feel more substances.
"Right, that is it."
A film-loving smile appeared in Valentin's heart.
“Do whatever you want to do, if there is no feedback it means you can’t do it.”
"It's just like a person who wants to fly but can't. There are no consequences."
After saying this, Valentine suddenly became enlightened. He was no longer as timid and at a loss as he was at first, and began to boldly try to live as a conscious life.
It was at this time that an unimaginable amount of information poured into his mind, but Valentine did not feel the slightest discomfort and was instead intoxicated by it.
When he was originally a material being, all Valentine could feel was some things that his skin could touch, either solid or soft, which contained too little information. At this moment, his consciousness enveloped the entire core city of Chernobog, and what Valentine could feel was no longer the thing at hand, but the entire city.
The wind rustled through the woods, and the lush branches and leaves swayed to the side, revealing the ground and bodies stained red with blood. The Ursus soldiers fell to the ground, fear fixed in their expressions, and the corpses gradually solidified.
Not far away, the tiger with the thunder tail was already looking for its next prey, and in the bushes next to the tiger, a ghost tribesman wearing a Rhodes Island battle uniform stood bent over, with blood on his face. dripping from her sharp fingers.
This is just a corner of the battlefield in the core city. Battles like this have never stopped in the entire forest. Countless animals attacked the remaining Ursus soldiers. Although they could not be killed, they could not kill the enemy, so they chose to cooperate with the killers of Rhode Island and turned the forest into the territory of the Ursus soldiers. Green Hell.
Valentine could clearly smell the sweet smell in the air, as if blood was being sprayed in front of his eyes; he could also hear the sounds of animals fighting with enemies, and countless deafening roars and shouts lingered in Valentine's ears , but he didn't feel noisy at all.
When the conscious life that enveloped the core city wanted to see what the situation was like in the city, a map instantly appeared in front of Valentine's "eyes". Every life active on the surface and underground of the core city appeared on the map and acted as if they were alive, just like reality.
Not only that, Valentine could clearly feel the direction of every wisp of wind, every vibration of the air, and every breath of life.
He could clearly tell the angle at which each bush swayed, as if the sunlight reflected on these green leaves was imprinted in his eyes; he could clearly see the trembling chests of each warrior during vigorous exercise, and they were swaying themselves wantonly. His vitality and energy are like the rising sun, full of vitality.
All these meaningful things that exist in Valentine's consciousness are deeply engraved in his heart at this moment and can never be forgotten.
"etc."
The pleasure of being immersed in the new world did not completely take away Valentin's thoughts. After a brief glance, he "saw" an unexpected sight:
Leonid stayed with Anfiya. They were fighting side by side with the shield guards. The enemy was the Ursus soldiers retreating towards the exit.
The forest is very large, covering the entire core city, and there are many animals, which restrains the Usas soldiers and some Sakaz mercenaries. However, due to the particularity of Valentine's Origin Stone skills, although these animals derived from his spirit have immortality, they are unable to cause fatal damage to the enemy and can only cooperate with SWEEP to kill the enemy.
The Deep Blue Flying Dragon shared everything except his body with Valentine. He also knew the consequences of letting these soldiers escape, so he did his best to cooperate with Rhode Island to kill these soldiers. But it is a pity that the number of SWEEP is too small. Although the forest slows down the enemy's progress a lot, it also hinders the actions of the Rhode Island operators.
However, the addition of shield guards and rebels at this moment made the Ursus soldiers' escape speed drop to another level. They would definitely not be able to escape today.
This was a result that Valentin had known for a long time. He had predicted it the moment the map in his mind took shape. What surprised him was not the battle between SWEEP and Ursus soldiers, but the two guys Leonid and Anfiya.
"I really didn't expect them to know each other..."
Recalling his conversation with Anfiya, Valentin's impression of Leonid became a little better.
Unexpectedly, Yue...Leonid not only had a great destiny, but also had such great ambitions that he was willing to fight for the infected.
This was something he didn't expect.
"There are many things you didn't expect."
Jiao Zhengyu's voice spread into Valentine's consciousness. He wanted to say something, but was dismissed by the other person's next words.
"You have almost adapted to the basic way of survival of conscious life, which is good.
"Next, try the skill of operating the Origin Stone and imagine how 'life' was born. At the same time, don't forget to continue to spread your consciousness until it encompasses the entire world of Terra."
"This process may be painful, but it is also for you to become a 'world consciousness' for a short period of time. Terra's world consciousness will never refuse the agent of order it has chosen."
After hearing this, Valentin calmed down and became as calm as at the beginning, and began to try to spread himself outwards, while at the same time operating the Origin Stone skills in his body.
After all, Origin Stone skills are skills rooted in the soul. At this moment, Valentine, as a conscious being, can operate more smoothly than before, and he can do it at his fingertips.
"But humans are humans after all, and there is a certain gap compared to world consciousness. Information from a core city may not make you feel anything, but that won't necessarily happen when it spreads to the entire world."
"Get ready Valentine, this is your second chance."
The first opportunity was the battle between Frost Star and Amiya. Valentin realized the essence of his Origin Stone Skill and the essence of Amiya's Origin Stone Skill. The second opportunity is the world consciousness he will face next, which will give him a deeper understanding of "vitality" and bring him one step closer to "the savior the world wants."
Throughout the ages, those who wanted to rule the world have experienced bad outcomes, because the world has learned that those so-called "rulers" only make things worse.
But the world does not exclude a unified civilization, nor does it exclude the only ruler among trillions of people, provided that he can bring peace to the world instead of more serious war after a short period of peace.
Only a ruler who truly strives for peace can be called a "savior."
But the reality is that almost no one can become such a savior.
almost.
Jiao Zhengyu's next few words did not stir up any ripples in Valentine's heart, because he could no longer hear them at that time.
Not long after running the Origin Stone technique, Valentine's consciousness rose to an unimaginable height. He felt that he was no longer a ball of fluffy cotton, but a solid and thick earth.
It was obvious that the consciousness of the world took the initiative to accept this human being with a sublimated soul, allowing him to stand on the same level as himself.
And when Valentin tried to feel the world of Terra at this time, he suddenly froze, "standing" in place as if he was stupid.
Unimaginably complex information was transmitted from all over Valentin's body to his brain, but it did not boil his mind. It was like the breeze at night blowing through his heart, giving Valentin a strong and exciting feeling. Gentle shock.
This is a feeling that cannot be described in words. Valentine has never experienced it. He can only watch countless pictures flashing before his eyes blankly. Countless worlds are generated in his heart, passively feeling the huge nature and tranquility. serene.
In an instant, Valentin thought of a musician named Ólafur Arnalds whom he liked very much, and his ethereal and calm works, which perfectly matched the scene he was feeling at the moment.
This is the world felt by world consciousness. This is an unprecedented soul sublimation.
