Chapter 916: The Third Level of Dao Heart Collapse
If the environment is too cold, even the breath will turn white.
However, if the cold continues, the exhaled gas will condense in an instant, which is what it looks like now.
The temperature of minus seventy degrees is already the limit for life to exist. If it is lower, it may be difficult to survive. Fortunately, this planet has warm geothermal heat and the ocean itself has good thermal insulation performance.
If it is underwater, the water temperature there may rise to zero degrees, which can even be said to be hot water.
This is the ice age of this planet.
The cold environment has led to the formation of huge ice fields covering the planet. These ice fields cover everything from the poles to the equator.
The land has become cold, the rivers have frozen, and all weather has turned into blizzards, freezing rain, and hail. The temperature of the rare sunny days will not exceed minus fifty degrees.
Plants, wild animals, and intelligent civilizations will face endless cold environments, suffer direct damage from extremely low temperatures, or starve to death due to lack of food.
The huge body is good for keeping warm, but it requires a lot of energy, so only the creatures at the top of the food chain or those huge bottom filter feeders have a chance to grow up.
However, even if it is just the simplest lichens and mosses, or low-level life such as insects, only those that are most suitable for living in extremely cold areas can survive to the present.
They must have great adaptability and creativity to have a chance to survive the cruel selection of the Ice Age, which may last for hundreds of millions of years.
Li Qi is still talking to the parents in front of him, but it is just a boring daily chat. No, there is no need to chat. As long as they are around, the two third-grade people just stay quietly and do nothing extra.
While the parents are talking, they are also sharpening their spears.
It is an extremely rare metal weapon.
In this dark and cold world, metal weapons do not actually exist. The hunters here use stone or bone weapons, or simply use their own flesh.
However, the parents seem to have made a metal weapon in their own way.
His craftsmanship is very good. When sharpening the knife, the spear blade makes a slight humming sound.
This is the sound of the sword.
From the perspective of a mortal refiner, the sword will ring only when the internal structure of the weapon is completely integrated, the rigidity is uniform, the weight of the blade is accurately balanced, the handle fits very tightly, the blade is sharp, and the heat treatment metallographic phase is uniform.
If the refiner's means are not good, any cracks, uneven thickness, gaps in fit and uneven strength will increase the vibration dissipation, resulting in the inability to continue the sword ringing.
This third-grade forged a top-quality mortal weapon by hand. It is not only sharp, but also represents uniformity, reliability and stability. On this primitive and backward planet, this is a divine weapon that can be entrusted with life. No animal skin can stop this spear.
This made Li Qi a little confused.
Because although this spear is very good, it is actually just a mortal weapon. It is actually useless for a third-grade. Maybe mortals will feel comfortable using it for hunting, but... is it meaningful?
If you want to integrate into the segmentation and live and eat with mortals, then there is no need to use this special metal weapon. You can also use a bone spear to penetrate this galaxy.
So, Li Qi asked, "Why do you want to make such an out-of-date weapon? If you want to integrate into this world, you don't need to do such an abrupt thing, right? Is there any special meaning? My deduction doesn't seem to detect anything wrong. This weapon should be dispensable to you."
Li Qi's deduction came to the other party's situation, but he didn't find anything special about this spear.
"I want to do this, that's all." The parent said so.
Looking at the other party's appearance, Li Qi nodded thoughtfully: "It's not just a matter of freedom. Your Tao heart is broken, right?"
Li Qi stared at the other party. This was not the first time he saw a dying person.
Especially for practitioners, the so-called life and death is not as simple as losing the interference and possibility of the world. There are many other ways to die in the world.
Just like the Zhongwei bird in front of him, his Tao heart has long been dead, and he can't get out. Therefore, everything in his life later, and even all his future time, is just to build a tomb for his dead heart that is beautiful on the surface but actually empty.
"Well, but I don't regret it. Although I have lost those things, I am happier now than never having encountered them." Zhongwei Bird smiled.
He continued: "In the previous war, my history was killed. In the little time when I was about to escape, I almost lost consciousness. When I regained my consciousness, I found that my history was like a pig dismembered in a butcher's shop."
"If I had a bit of backbone, I should have fought back and reduced my possibilities to zero. In this way, even if I can no longer interfere with the future, at least I can hold on to the present, hide in the closed space-time loop and continue to live, looking forward to gaining new possibilities one day."
"But... I couldn't do it. I chose to give in and didn't interfere with the changes they made. I retained the possibility of continuation, but it shattered my past and turned it into a dream." The Zhongwei Bird said lightly.
Li Qi nodded slightly.
In fact, he could understand.
The war of the first-class affected many people. It started one picosecond after the Big Bang. In all timelines, in all dimensions, in all spaces, and in all places where existence can reach, every first-class who joined the battle was fighting with other first-class.
This kind of fight is invisible, there is no such extensive magical power, there is only the cold chill like the ice field in front of him.
The ice field did not hurt anything, he just existed.
Li Qi did not say much.
He did not continue to chat, but returned to the snow house.
After that, Li Qi joined the family, but he refused all invitations to mate.
At first, everyone did not understand, but Li Qi soon showed his extraordinary hunting ability.
Showing his own value, then everyone can tolerate quirks, so Li Qi still quickly integrated into the family.
He lived in the family for about 20 years, and lived with his parents until the family split.
Because there were too many people, everyone's relationship began to become complicated, and prey was not easy to catch, so they needed to separate.
The authority of the head of the family was challenged several times, and finally the family chose to separate, split into three settlements, and went their separate ways.
Twenty years was just a blink of an eye for Sanpin.
Morning fungus does not know the new moon and full moon, and cicadas do not know spring and autumn.
If it is a mayfly, seeing a pair of humans drinking tea and chatting together, maybe sitting for half an hour? That is also a long time for it, and humans have spent most of their lives doing only one boring thing.
The same is true for these mortals.
Li Qi and the Zhongwei bird just sat together, drank a cup of tea, and talked a little, but it was already a lifetime for these people.
Li Qi and the Zhongwei bird did not even really start a topic.
This went on for about 150 years.
During these 150 years, he and the head of the family moved around in various tribes, constantly living basically the same animal life.
This kind of life is actually unexpectedly close to "nature".
Just as Li Qi once knew, the universe is probably not a dark forest. It is either brighter or darker. Space has always been so fair and selfless, so ruthless, cruel and extreme without bias towards any party, but it maintains that delicate balance.
Genes control these so-called higher organisms. Their bodies and your actions are just carriers under the control of genes. People are just large paramecium.
One day 150 years later, Li Qi and the micro-birds had just finished hunting. They caught a fat worm in the cracks of the glacier. This is a fish larva.
It sounds strange, but it is indeed a fish larva. This kind of fish will lay eggs under the glacier because there are almost no predators here. The larvae will be fat when they hatch. They will not eat and live on the fat in their bodies. Then they will slide along the glacier into the water. After a period of development, they will grow other organs and become a fish.
In the water, the fish form is indeed useful. This is the power of convergent evolution.
However, the glacier can stop other predators, but it can't stop the local "indigenous people". They will chisel the glacier and dig out these delicious big fat meat.
They let go of half of the larvae, and moved the other half out to freeze them tightly, so that the people in the settlement can take them away.
Then, the two of them sat under the glacier and looked up at the sky.
Above the glacier was the sky, emitting a faint light. After the others left, only Li Qi and Zhongwei Bird were left on the seabed. The surrounding and overhead were transparent glacier curtains like glass. The sea water underfoot was clear and transparent, and you could see the swaying seaweed.
Many cobalt blue and gray-silver small fishes were in groups, colorful red fishes shuttled gracefully, and some fat sea beasts were hunting.
Zhongwei Bird watched all this silently, as if enjoying the rare beauty.
Li Qi also appreciated this rare beauty. The glacier was sandwiched between the sky and the ocean. The deep sea water below and the gorgeous light in the sky were mixed together, which looked particularly beautiful, more magnificent than the aquarium.
The natural scenery is always so beautiful. Although it is not as gorgeous as the stars, it has its own flavor.
Then, Li Qi suddenly said: "Fear of death is because you love your life very much. The thing that people fear most is losing the things they love most. Love and fear go hand in hand. Even the love of a lifetime will eventually be lost, so fear is everywhere. Those who love money are afraid of losing wealth, those who love people are afraid of being abandoned, those who pursue the way are afraid of taking the wrong path, and those who love beauty are afraid of filth."
Li Qi suddenly said something irrelevant.
However, the Zhongwei bird looked at Li Qi and understood what Li Qi wanted to say.
However, Li Qi did not stop, but continued: "But if you work harder to get these things, make money, love people, pursue the way, and maintain your appearance, then having more means that you can lose more. This will not solve the fear, but will increase the evil thoughts."
Having said this, Li Qi looked at the distance of the glacier.
Ordinary people think that the existence of the third rank is invincible and can do everything.
Just like the ice field in front of us, the frozen world never stops, stretching endlessly, stretching to the end of the sight, disappearing under the distant sky, mortals can never reach the edge, but the third-grade can reach the distance just by tiptoeing.
But in fact, how can it be so simple?
What Li Qi just said is actually the situation faced by a small number of third-grade people.
Of course, when I say a small number, I am actually only referring to the middle-micro bird in front of me.
If a person can easily regret and start over, then he will easily cherish the present less and less.
Because he is unwilling to face the loss, he chooses to look back, which leads to more loss and more fear.
When you can find the future you want in infinite possibilities...
A universe full of infinite possibilities, then, are these possibilities meaningful?
Every end is a new starting point, and infinite starting points represent infinite end points. Infinite possibilities ultimately lead to everything being meaningless.
Because you have something in mind, you are afraid of losing, and thus live in fear. Once you fall into this cycle, you will be more afraid, and eventually your Tao heart will be in a mess, and even demonic thoughts will grow.
It is precisely because of the fear of loss that we should cherish the present more.
In Li Qi's view, he can't actually catch up with the past, nor can he change the future. Only in the present, only by recognizing it can we reconcile with the past and no longer fear the future.
Can the third-grade people change the past?
Many third-grade people think they can do it, because they can really trace back everything they have. As long as no one interferes, they can easily make everything start over again.
Then... the problem comes.
Infinite possibilities will traverse all possibilities. No matter how you choose, all results will appear, so your choice is actually meaningless.
One ten-thousandth of infinity is still infinity. Divide infinity into infinite parts, and each part is infinite.
In front of infinity, all choices are meaningless. The moment you choose "infinite backtracking", the act of backtracking itself directly enters the stage of "meaninglessness".
Infinity is not a fixed number, but a trend, a trend that keeps growing and has no limit.
So, either stop this trend or you have the courage to face infinity.
Li Qi chose to stop.
He didn't want to face infinity. He thought everything was real. When you trace back, you actually killed everything you wanted and then created a new one.
The magic path didn't care from the beginning. They faced infinity calmly.
So... what about the Zhongwei bird in front of him?
If he can't establish a meaningful dialogue with the other party, Li Qi Ke will not be able to find the nest of the microbirds.
It's the end of the month, please vote for me
