Chapter 695 So Beautiful
From Li Qi's perspective, a full 40,000 years have passed.
Forty thousand years have passed, and he is alone, sitting there in loneliness, constantly trying possibilities.
Failure, failure, and failure again.
Endless failure.
However, unexpectedly, Li Qi's spirit did not feel frustrated or stressed because of this loneliness and failure.
He felt... happy?
Enjoying it.
Failure is not terrible, or in other words, success or failure is not that important. What is important is that in such a busy life, there is finally a period of time for Li Qi to sit down and condense his thoughts, learning and observations in his life.
Li Qi has always been a very diligent person. Since the day he started practicing, he has been reading books non-stop, reading books in various ways, and then going to other places to see and expand his horizons.
All of these things are actually piled up in Li Qi's mind, just like a mountain of building materials.
But Li Qi's life is too short, he has lived too little, and encountered too many things, so that he does not have enough free time to sort out these building materials.
He also thought about taking time to retreat, but time in the real world is too precious. It is unknown how many years the war between humans and witches will last. Even now, Rabbit is fighting a life-and-death battle with humanity, and he doesn't know when it will end.
All of this needs to be done by Li Qi. He can't abandon everything to retreat and sort things out. His original plan was to wait until the war between humans and witches ended and then take his time.
But now, he has a lot of extra time out of thin air.
Here, Li Qi doesn't have to worry about many things in the outside world. He will be the same when he goes in and when he goes out. All the expenses will be borne by Zhu Fengdan.
He finally has enough free time to carry everything he has accumulated so far, those building materials, by hand, compare them one by one, design them, and then draw a blueprint for a magnificent building, and then put these things in one by one.
In this process, there is no need to worry about any external things, no need to consider those things, there is only self-improvement, that's all.
Although this may have some side effects, such as... This is basically equivalent to completely closed-door construction. Whether it is good or not depends entirely on oneself. Another way to say that it is not interfered with by the outside world is that it cannot accept help from the outside world.
If he makes a mistake, it will be a big deal that his path to Taoism will be cut off. Even if the mistake is not big, he will have to start all over again if he wants to change it when the building is built. At that time, he can only reincarnate in Zisha.
In the past, Li Qi was absolutely trembling with fear and cautiousness, and would never do such a risky thing.
But now...
How to say it.
This is what Teacher Zhu said about the spirit.
Just like the absolute confidence of the Demon Prince in himself, he firmly believes that he can never lose. This kind of confidence is unreasonable. Everyone knows that there are people outside the sky and people outside the people.
But it doesn't make sense. I just did it. The person outside the people has not appeared yet. I hope he will come in the future.
This spirit prompted Li Qi to make such a decision.
His knowledge is enough, his accumulation is complete, as long as there is time, the fourth grade is at his fingertips, he will not be wrong, and it is impossible to be wrong.
Even if he fails, it doesn't matter. Sometimes, even if he succeeds, Li Qi will take the initiative to start all over again.
What he wants is not success, but to find the Taoism that suits his Tao heart.
First of all, whether it is the material primacy or the consciousness primacy, the world must exist objectively, not a subjective thing of "close your eyes and the flowers will be silent, open your eyes and the flowers will bloom".
But at the same time, we must acknowledge the influence of subjective consciousness on the objective world.
Then, it is about the interpretation of the world... about the nature of the world, for example... Is matter composed of particles? Gas? Or strings? How is it composed? In what form does it exist without loopholes and paradoxes?
These are all problems that need to be solved urgently.
These answers do not necessarily have to fit the real world, but they must be logically self-consistent, self-continuous, self-composed, and must be able to explain many phenomena.
This composition directly determines all the power of the practitioner in the future.
From this moment on, the practitioner will decide his own limit. The avenue he builds will directly become all his power. He will no longer rely on the original avenue of the universe, but on his own avenue. All power comes from it.
It is too difficult for one person to interpret a world.
But this is what the fourth grade has to do, even if the fourth grade does not need to be completely perfect.
The completeness of first-order logic is something that cannot be described at all. Li Qi cannot think of how to proceed for the time being.
But just like this... it is enough.
He does not need to be so complete. For Li Qi now, that is impossible. Completely solving the completeness of first-order logic means solving the barber paradox, which is too far away.
All he has to do is to describe his own theory of everything.
Another five thousand years have passed.
Li Qi was immersed in his own construction and completely forgot about other things.
Because these things are so wonderful, and what he created is so appropriate. He set a whole set of physical constants, such as the true vacuum speed of light and the charge of electrons.
Fine structure constant, orbiting quantum, basic rest mass of gas, gravity brought by mass, how gravity affects space-time, how singularity works, etc.
These constants are like the "basic settings" in a game. These settings make up this world and derive more things.
But if you don't consider it carefully enough, many settings will be piled together, which will produce "bugs". These bugs will become your flaws and may even directly cause the game to crash, that is... the road is cut off or even implosion.
Self-consistent, logically self-consistent, and at the same time, it is enough to interpret the entire reality, all physical phenomena, chemical phenomena, various things, magical powers, and technical principles can be explained clearly with the same theory, and there can be no paradoxes between them, let alone random patches.
Patching is okay, but if you patch a cosmological constant, I'm afraid that future repair projects will be daunting, and in the end you can only reincarnate and start over.
As the saying goes, a slight difference can lead to a great error. If any of these self-consistent constants has an extra 1 after the decimal point of one million, it may cause the collapse of the entire universe.
You don't need to worry about these things when you are in the fifth rank, because the essence of the fifth rank's path is supported by the real world. You are using the already perfect principles of the real world to maintain your own operation. If you make a mistake, it's wrong. You can just correct it when the time comes, just like the path explored by countless mortals.
However, if the fourth rank wants to break away from the influence of the real universe, it must also break away from the support of the real universe.
It's like a parent and a child.
If a child makes a mistake, the parents can help you support it and help you solve the consequences of the mistake. If the theory is wrong, it's wrong. Anyway, the real world will not change because of the theory. This solid principle supports you and gives you a chance to start over.
But when you grow up and come to the fourth rank... you can only bear the consequences of your mistakes at this time.
If you are wrong, no real world will help you. You have already left reality. Now... everything depends on you. The 'parallel world' you have constructed will really change dramatically because of such a theory. You will have to swallow the bitter fruit of the final collapse.
Li Qi took a deep breath.
Constructing his own path is to prove that there is more than one possibility in the universe. His path is also a part of the universe, and even a brand new universe can be born.
This is his opinion, so he doesn't have to worry about the first principle. He sets the first principle to the real universe.
Keep going.
The 52,000th year, a full 52,000 years have passed.
Zhu Fengdan outside has begun to frown.
This time has been too long, too long, so long that it is abnormal. He didn't spend so much time at the beginning. Under normal circumstances, this kind of promotion will only take more than 10,000 years, because this is a natural thing.
Everything is prepared, and the ideas are carved in advance before they can be tried.
For things like promotion, no one will try without enough accumulation, after all, if they fail, they will have to reincarnate.
So even though 40,000 years had passed in the special cosmic light, he did not urge.
But 52,000 years... this is too long, so long that Li Qi might fail.
Something happened inside?
But it was not easy for him to investigate, because when his perception entered it, it would interfere with Li Qi. This child was extremely sensitive and could detect all disturbances.
Zhu Fengdan maintained an extremely high level of cosmic light distortion, which was about 1:10,000, so it was only five years now.
However, for Zhu Fengdan and Li Qi, both of them had gone through 52,000 years, and Zhu Fengdan could clearly feel the passage of time on Li Qi's side.
This was actually a considerable burden. He was now feeling two different time and space at the same time. The different cosmic light flow rates in the two stages produced a great paradox, and the friction between the differential speeds of time and space could destroy the minds of mortals.
Zhu Fengdan needed to overcome this paradox to continue to maintain Li Qi's acceleration.
Fortunately, he could still hold on.
But he didn't know if Li Qi could hold on.
Another thousand years passed.
Zhu Fengdan had a serious expression, and he was ready to break it open.
It had been too long, had Li Qi failed? In this situation, it was easy for the heart of Tao to collapse due to excessive failures.
When you try and fail no matter what, the heart of Tao will easily have the thought "Am I wrong?"
Once this thought comes up, it will be difficult for you to succeed in your next attempt.
Ordinary people call this situation "disturbed mind", but for practitioners, this kind of thing is also very common.
If the heart of Tao is shaken and no longer believes in one's own Tao, then all cultivation will become impetuous, and it will be more difficult for you to do anything.
Just when Zhu Fengdan was so worried, another thousand years passed.
He was ready to force it open.
Li Qi's situation was already seriously abnormal. If it continued, the disciple might really be cut off from the Tao.
Thinking of this, Zhu Fengdan no longer hesitated and decisively terminated the special cosmic light.
The sphere of time expansion gradually disappeared, and the distorted light returned to normal.
Zhu Fengdan felt a round and natural breath coming.
The 'real world' around him was naturally rejected, and around Li Qi, a 'parallel world' was running steadily, quietly, and slowly.
The first principles, causal chains, various physical constants, phenomena, and the path based on "logic" clearly arrange everything.
The Tao tells matter how to move.
The Tao tells time and space how to bend.
The Tao tells chemistry how to react.
The Tao tells everything in this world what it should be like.
What is Qi like, and why does it have this property? Because the Tao tells Qi that you should be like this, so it is like this.
Why is the speed of light 2s? Because this is stipulated by the Tao, and this is stipulated by "speed", which is infinite speed.
Li Qi realized the nature of the "fast universe".
In fact, the so-called "fast universe" is actually another Tao, a new interpretation of the universe, and this interpretation can also give birth to the "real universe".
With the help of these past knowledge and experiences, plus his own thinking, Li Qi has interpreted his own world and his own Tao.
He is a fourth-grade.
Although he has not yet become as "free and eternal" as the third-grade, he has initially escaped from the shackles of reality. His Tao has not yet reached the point of "equal to reality", but it is already higher than these inferior substances in reality.
Zhu Fengdan saw Li Qi's current state clearly.
Li Qi had already succeeded a long time ago, but he seemed to be still immersed in this state of enlightenment, as if he was compiling his own future path.
Seeing this, Zhu Fengdan walked forward without hesitation and kicked Li Qi over.
Li Qi suddenly woke up!
"Old... Teacher, what are you doing!?" Li Qi was angry. He was still immersed in the feeling of building the world. This stage of having enough time to think for himself was really rare.
In Li Qi's short life, he had no chance to meditate like this.
But Zhu Fengdan waved gently, and Li Qi was directly grabbed over, with his head held in Zhu Fengdan's hand.
He pressed Li Qi's head and said, "Boy, you are still far from 'reality'. Breaking away from reality and only building your own world is courting death. Why do you think that the 'way' you built can match the real world!?"
"Honestly, you have only taken the first step. From now on, you have embarked on 'your own way'. No one knows your future except yourself, but the spirit is self-confidence, not arrogance."
Zhu Fengdan's sudden reminder made Li Qi wake up completely from his own world.
"...Thank you, teacher." He took a deep breath and put his thoughts from his own world back to the real world.
At this moment, Li Qi was suddenly stunned.
In the distorted time and space, he closed off the outside world and then built his own world...
Come out and feel the real world again.
So beautiful.
This world is so beautiful.
It is much stronger than his own.
