Chapter 1084 "I" and Me

"The Sea of ​​Brain Demons."

Hao immediately thought of this high-level holy position. This was a very powerful high-level holy position on the lower plane when the forbidden land was fighting with the camps of the lower plane. It even caused huge damage to the coalition forces at that time, which impressed Hao An extremely profound high-ranking saint.

This sea of ​​brain demons fell in the battle of the original camps, and its holy way condensation was collected by the forbidden area. Aiyi analyzed this holy way condensation for a long time, and later used its holy way essence to build the scriptures. The Holy Way information of this sea of ​​brain demons is contained in this scripture.

After the war, as Ai analyzed the holy way information of the Sea of ​​Brain Demons, as well as various information of the lower plane recorded by Wanzu, Hao also knew the various past histories of the Sea of ​​Brain Demons.It can be said that it was an eye-opener for Hao.

The Sea of ​​Brain Demons is not the first generation of creatures in the bottomless abyss. In fact, only void demons are left in the first generation of creatures. The Sea of ​​Brain Demons is not a natural thing, it is manufactured. The people of the abyss created the sea of ​​brain demons, but the specific generation of the people of the abyss is not clear.

There is also a lot of information in the holy way information of the sea of ​​brain demons, as well as other abyss holy positions, and most importantly, the holy way of the first void lord Youmu. From these information, we can know the evolution of the abyss.

The abyss was not what it is now. At that time, the abyss was a large plane world between the low latitude and the real material world. The inhabitants of the abyss are still gradually prospering, with amazing achievements in civilization.

But I don’t know when, the abyss began to decline, the water source dried up, the earth decayed, and the residents were gradually infected by terror, distortion, erosion, and nightmares. Many horrible low-latitude erosion phenomena, the entire abyss has become a place of terror.

The inhabitants of the abyss and the saints of the abyss have tried everything to stop this, but unfortunately this erosion is simply irresistible. This is the erosion of the entire low latitude, especially the inhabitants of the abyss and the saints of the abyss. Most of them lost their minds and began to become chaotic and ignorant. This kind of drastic change from the inside caused the abyssal civilization to collapse in a short period of time.

There are still rational residents left. They are divided into two factions. One faction decides to find a way to lead the people out of the abyss and go to the real world to multiply and thrive. things, but also to guard the land of the abyss.

Distortion mainly infects living beings. They are thinking and intelligent beings. Wisdom, spirit and will are the favorites of low-latitude erosion. The residents of this faction plan to use artificial intelligence to fight against distortion. In their thinking, if There is a super-intelligent creature with absolutely powerful mental power and absolute rationality. Apart from spirit and consciousness, it does not need a body, because the body is the bane of infection.

The residents of this faction were already crazy, but they didn't think they were crazy. They thought of a way to set off a massacre in the abyss at that time, killing countless creatures of all kinds, intelligent, The non-intelligent ones, their own clansmen, etc., even used the distorted power of the abyss at that time to forcibly open a large gap leading to the material world temporarily, and pulled many creatures from the Great Desolate Continent into the abyss. Still in the era of giant beasts, many giant beasts fell into the bottomless abyss and became special giant beasts there, such as the abyss giant dragon, and the chaotic demon dog Kozef that appeared in that faction war , may have fallen into the abyss at that time.

The abyss dwellers of this faction slaughtered these giant beasts, and then mixed the hundreds of millions they slaughtered, and mixed them together with trillions of brains, creating a sea of ​​brains.

This is an extremely unscientific thing. If so many brains are taken out, the organisms will have died long ago, and there will be infections, bacteria, or mismatches in the blood types, organs, etc. between the organisms. The brain messes together, and the result can only be a pot of rotten brain porridge, or the brain?Whatever it is, it's absolutely unscientific anyway.

At the same time, this is not magical, because there are a lot of magical creatures in these countless brains, and their energy and attributes are different from each other. Exploding super bomb.

But I don't know how these abyss dwellers did it. They may have been distorted and distorted. Relying on the completely illogical power of the low latitudes, they succeeded in the end.

They fused countless brains into an ocean of brains. In this ocean of brains, countless brains, countless consciousnesses, countless thoughts, and countless memories are constantly fused, mixed, devoured, and eliminated. At that moment, a unified, crazy, distorted consciousness with extremely powerful spiritual power was born, and this is the sea of ​​brain demons.

The aborigines of this faction originally planned to put their consciousness and souls into this sea of ​​brains, relying on the spiritual power condensed by these countless brains to resist the erosion of low latitudes, but when this sea of ​​brain demons was born , this vast consciousness swallowed them all, and turned them into nutrients for this sea of ​​brain demons...

This is what Hao knows about the beholders, illithids, the ancestors of the brain demons, and the origin of the sea of ​​brain demons. It comes from a sea of ​​countless brains that is neither scientific nor magical.

In the solution Hao conceived to solve his current distorted state, this is the clear result of Haotian Mirror?
This is really a coincidence, the way the residents of the abyss wanted to solve the distortion was also the same way. I didn't expect that the way Haotianjing gave is still this way?
But is it really possible?

We must know that the sea of ​​brain demons created by the inhabitants of the abyss had a combat power close to that of the holy throne at the beginning of its birth, and its weirdness far exceeded that of the holy throne. In the process of twisting the abyss, it changed from an ordinary thing to The holy position, and later became a high-level holy position, and it is also a high-level holy position with spiritual power specialization. It is stronger than the usual high-level holy position. It is not a good thing.

But Hao thought carefully, this answer is not unreasonable, the aboriginals of the abyss wanted to create an ocean of brains, their original intention was to create a unified consciousness, which is the so-called artificial Gaia consciousness, a collection of all living things Subconscious consciousness, if it is really feasible, can indeed resist a certain degree of distortion. Even if it cannot resist, it can delay the erosion of distortion, because many consciousnesses are both unified and independent, just like countless cells make up a person. When two cells are diseased, it is actually not a serious problem to the whole human body, only the metabolism is needed, and this kind of integrated consciousness actually utilizes this principle.

Hao next relied on the Haotian mirror to clarify the relevant ideas. He can completely clone his memory, consciousness, three views and other information, as a kind of initial backup. At this time, his distortion and infection are not so serious. He still remembers many memories from the past. Although the senses of taste, smell, touch, etc. have all been erased, there is no color, and the feelings are also weak, but that's all, he can still be regarded as a person, he can still be regarded as Hao, he is still He loves Ai, he also admires the great lord, and he is also eager to rebuild the human city.

But if he continues, he really doesn't know what he will become, so he has to save him at this time, and once he is completely distorted in the future, he will back up him at this time to overwrite him in the future , as long as the success of the coverage can be ensured, then he can return to the state at this time. Of course, for him personally, as the current "he" will perish.

This is actually a scientific and philosophical question. During the decades in the forbidden area, Hao has read many books brought by footmen. Among them, his favorites are those of science fiction and history. , As for fantasy or something...Hao doesn't quite understand, magic, battle qi, and extraordinary professions are all things that exist in reality, why are they called fantasy?
He still remembered a science fiction novel he had read at the time, which told a story about an outer plane of the universe. In the story, human civilization became extinct for some reason, and the hero and heroine brought the human gene pool to start They embarked on a space voyage, trying to find a planet suitable for living, and then the two rebuilt human civilization again. They sailed into the dark universe in a spaceship. The entire universe was extremely lonely, and there was nothing but each other.

This man and woman are lovers, and they love each other deeply. They both agreed to go to the destination, no matter how lonely, no matter how lonely, as long as there is each other, they must stick to each other.

This spaceship is very backward, its flying speed is very slow, and it does not have the function of space transition. It will take thousands of years for them to reach their destination, so they must sleep and hibernate to ensure the continuation of their lifespan.

But what the heroine doesn't know is that the spaceship needs to be maintained for long-term flight in the universe. At the same time, when traveling in the stardust belt in the universe, someone must always pay attention to whether there are large objects hitting the spacecraft, so during her hibernation sleep, the hero In fact, it is not sleeping at all, but has been maintaining the voyage.

Finally, the male protagonist was going to die of old age, so he prepared his backed-up memory and consciousness, and cloned his young body at the same time, infused this memory consciousness into this body, and then the old self was lonely Stepped into a closed room at the bottom of the spaceship and died alone.

The heroine doesn't know all this, and the new male protagonist doesn't know all this, until the male protagonist reconfirms that the spaceship needs to be maintained and guarded, and at the same time he rummages through his work diary, looking for the traces left by himself in the past , After seeing dozens of skeletons at the bottom of the spaceship, and even hundreds of skeletons afterwards, I realized my mission.

At the end of the book, during the process of the heroine waking up hundreds of times for a day or two, the spaceship finally went to a new survivable planet. She smiled, but the heroine whose eyes had become numb stepped out of the spaceship, and looked at Flowers all over the ground, looking at the rainbow under the clear sky, the heroine is still laughing and making noise like a girl, while the hero just smiles, he has copied himself tens of thousands of times, and the bones in that room have been counted After being emptied and thrown into the universe for the first time, although he is still "he", he has actually collapsed...

Is the perfectly copied self the self that exists as "I"?

Or, is this just another creature that is almost [-]% similar to myself, but is no longer "me"?

Hao doesn't know the answer, which is actually very close to the ultimate philosophical speculation. Who is "I"? Where does "I" come from? Where is "I" going?
(If this is the only solution, then I will do it this way, just like the male protagonist who has protected the heroine for thousands of years in that science fiction novel... If I can protect Ai for thousands of years, then it is true It's great...)
With a decision in his heart, Hao returned to the temporary shelter, and at the same time continued to use his avatar ability without hesitation. He assumed the identity of several ten thousand races, replacing some middle and high-level people in the city-states of ten thousand races. On the one hand, he collected their records On the one hand, he began to make secret arrangements and sow dissension from the historical information. He decided to speed up the progress. When the pear team came to the temporary shelter, he would trigger this arrangement. After that, he could gather the primitive humans raised by the city-states of all races. Lead them together towards the plain deep in the mountains.

No matter what it is, no matter what is there, the amount of information at that level is itself a huge and incomparable treasure. Others cannot turn it into benefits or power, but he can!

Moreover, he still needs to find the direct descendants of the three types of Brain Demon Sea, the Beholder, the Illithid, and the Brain Demon Race, and create a collective consciousness group similar to the Sea of ​​Brain Demon, so as to save his backup information. The bloodlines of these three direct races are necessary, not to use them as raw materials, but to go back to the original source through their bloodlines, and then combine the sacred information of the Brain Demon Sea in the Canon, and the Haotian Mirror Hao believes that he can achieve this.

(Besides, the cost of using the Haotian Mirror is too high for me now, and at the same time, I cannot embark on the path of an extraordinary professional, so I cannot open the scripture Ai left me, and the Haotian Battle Body cannot be used... If it is possible to create something like The collective consciousness creation of the Brain Demon Sea, then I can use this collective consciousness to use the Haotian Mirror and the Canon. At that time, even if I can’t walk on the extraordinary path, I can still rely on this creation to use the Haotian Mirror. Canon, and the Haotian battle body...)
(As for my personal death, the replica me becoming me...that's really not worth mentioning.)
Finally, the team led by Li came to the temporary shelter. On the same day, the civil war broke out among the city-states. Seth, the second successor of the strongest clan, the Yinhuo clan, appointed the rat-human clan Duanwei as the prime minister, and launched a large army to attack the first place. The city-state of the successor, and the rest of the city-states of the various clans have fallen into similar disasters, fighting each other, fighting each other, and the entire city-state of all ethnic groups is fighting together.
