Because Yuan Ye has no past.
For Yuan Ye, the past me is not me.
He has no "growth" and no "childhood". An adult's mind is just stuffed into a brand new body.
From the moment Yuan Ye woke up under this unfamiliar starry sky, he ushered in the "End of Childhood".
Are the world and memories before the time travel real? have no idea.
Are the world and memories after time travel real? have no idea.
Is it even true that I doubt whether this is true?
Still...
have no idea!
——Am I really still a real, living person?
Every time after waking up from a nightmare, Yuan Ye would ask himself this question, but never got an answer.
The fear of the unknown has been shrouding the depths of Yuan Ye's consciousness since the beginning of time travel. There were many times when he desperately hoped that there was really someone behind the scenes in this world who was manipulating his life and playing with his soul. , that way he would feel more at ease.
Because that means that everything is logical and orderly, and will not slip into the bottomless abyss of chaos and unknown.
In this case, if we say that the spiritual changes that occur when other extraordinary beings continue to advance in the extraordinary realm are like riding the train of life to the next stop, it is the same as blowing up every time they blew up at a birthday party in their past lives. There is no difference in the process of lighting a birthday candle.
If Yuan Ye continues to move forward, there will only be one result——
That is [death].
The death of [my present self].
Yuan Ye had no doubt about this result, because he realized at the moment of time travel that as the "price" for opening his eyes again, the "past him" was dead. The only person who could wake up under this strange starry sky was It's just "him now".
If the price of time travel is the death of the "me in the past", then the price of continuing to advance in the transcendent realm is the death of the "me now".
Yuan Ye clearly realized that as a person without a past, he was not qualified to maintain himself under the "anti-shaping" of psychic energy.
The reason why other extraordinary beings are able to maintain themselves and only undergo mental changes similar to "adulthood" is because they have the past as an "anchor of self".
Doubts about himself and the past have led to Yuan Ye not having this anchor point. This is a sequelae caused by time travel. If he is a careless person and does not pay attention to this, then naturally there will be no problem. Just be promoted like normal people in this world.
But Yuan Ye is a very thoughtful person. Whether he thinks too much when he is full or too serious, he says that he will take care of things as they come, but in his heart he just can't let go of "my past self." Connected with the "present self", his "past self" is equivalent to death.
The death of my past self means that Yuan Ye's "self" and "existence" can only be maintained by his "present self".
Therefore, for Yuanye, any mental change is unacceptable. If he cannot maintain his absolutely unchanged self, it means his death.
Even if he is successfully promoted, the one who wakes up is just an [other] with Yuan Ye’s memory.
——If you think about it this way, am I now an [other] with the memory of an unknown person named Ning Ye?
——It’s hard to say.
Yuan Ye smiled bitterly, adjusted the position of his mask, and opened his eyes.
The world in front of him has become completely different. Under the influence of cognitive operations, Yuan Ye has strengthened his self, restrained himself, completely exposed himself, and interacted with other people's consciousness in this way.
"Is this the [Sea of Prototypes]?" Yuanye looked at the enthusiastic crowd through his mask and murmured, "It's so spectacular. Even if it's just a gathering of more than a hundred people, it's still an extremely large presence."
"It's so huge that it's scary."
People in the field waved support sticks under the guidance of the music, and the light formed an ocean. The heat from people's bodies evaporated, floated up, and was immediately sucked away by the exhaust fan.
In Yuan Ye's eyes, along with this process, distorted human faces took off along with the heat. The heat was taken away, but the faces remained. They continued to gather above the crowd, gradually forming a huge "monster" .
The Sea of Archetypes is a collective subconscious cluster, a special consciousness entity formed by the spiritual energy that permeates this world. Since there are a large number of intellectual beings in the underground theater that constantly produce high mental fluctuations, and it is a closed space, these intellectual beings correspond to The sea of archetypes is revealed and can be observed with the aid of psychic energy.
If a person's main thinking body is incredibly powerful, he can even use his personal power to reverse the thoughts of others in a way that changes the sea of prototypes. This can also be regarded as a manifestation of the law that matter determines consciousness in this world.
——It is obviously a world where extraordinary power exists, and it seems that the mind is stronger than the world, but it is so materialistic in these details. It is really strange.
Yuan Ye complained in his heart, using this usual way to relax his mind and carefully let himself get in touch with this sea of prototypes.
According to common sense, although Yuanye is now a transcendent, his self is only slightly stronger than ordinary people because of the powerful carbon-based body nourishment.
If the self is really in direct contact with this group unconscious cluster that is almost synonymous with chaos, without the protection and isolation of the "chaotic self" of the id, there is no doubt that his self will be swallowed up and assimilated in an instant , and then becomes "sea water" in the sea of prototypes, he will also usher in spiritual death - the kind that modern medicine will judge as a vegetative state that is not yet brain-dead.
——It is necessary to set the starting conditions.
——Set the starting condition to a displacement of more than fifteen centimeters of the body compared to the current position. It is better to be careful for the first experiment.
Yuan Ye talked to himself, using words to strengthen his self-suggestion. After setting the conditions, he suddenly jumped into the sea of prototypes in front of him.
The moment he came into contact with the sea of prototypes above the crowd, huge and chaotic thoughts poured into his consciousness as he expected.
Thousands of "people" spoke in Yuanye's ears at once, and the sharp whispers flooded him like a tide.
——It really feels like jumping into the sea.
——Although I have only been to the beach once.
——The blue sky, sunshine and the endless sea, the time span in my memory is obviously only two years ago, but it seems as if decades have passed.
——I really miss it.
Inexplicable thoughts jumped out of Yuan Ye's mind, but in an instant, he was swallowed up by the "crowd" along with his self.
As time passed, the buzzing in Yuan Ye's ears gradually turned into the roar of a huge bell, and the scene in front of him seemed to turn into a dark forest, leaving only pure black phantoms shaking.
Yuan Ye's brain was like an ancient machine that had not been lubricated, operating with difficulty.
After a while, it seemed to have reached its limit and got stuck.
As consciousness stagnated, "other people's thoughts" filled Yuan Ye's mind. He raised his hands that were emitting fluorescence and waved them like a madman.
"******!*******!" Yuanye shouted loudly, the name of the band on stage, which was stitched together in Chinese, Japanese and English, and his voice was so high that it almost drowned the crowd. Anyone who watches it will undoubtedly think that he is the most ardent fan of the band on stage.
At this moment, the mask on Yuan Ye's face suddenly lit up with a faint blue light.
