Urban Legends: The Legacy of Ancient Civilizations

Why does his consciousness expand inexplicably?

Does this process of expansion necessarily represent ultimate annihilation?

Just like the conceptual deviations realized before, do the issues of life and death really make sense in this special space of consciousness?

If consciousness is the aggregation of certain thoughts, that is, the convergence of some brain electrical signals, then the so-called life and death are nothing more than a conjecture product of consciousness.

Thinking about the scene inside the Lord of the Netherworld, in the void consciousness space it generated, the first thing Bai Ning sensed was an unstoppable impulse to create.

Might not this impulse to create be understood as an impulse to imagine?

For consciousness, the process of imagination is the process of creation.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the larger and more detailed Bai Ning's creations are, which also means that the larger and more detailed Bai Ning's imagination process is.

In the end, Bai Ning's consciousness fell into a final collapse due to the unbearable headache, which was just equivalent to a collapse due to excessive use of the brain.

Based on this assumption, the so-called special consciousness space is actually nothing more than something imagined out of thin air.

The formation of this space may be influenced by certain special mechanisms, but more importantly, it must be based on Bai Ning's own conscious imagination.

Therefore, everything currently happening is based on Bai Ning's imagination.

Whether it is an infinite barrier, or the expansion and explosion of one's own ideology like a balloon, or the original image of an old human being.

It is undeniable that everything currently happening is based on Bai Ning's self-imagination, but this imagination process is led by the higher-level existence here.

A process of autonomous annihilation based on the ideological level of the self?

Let's make some bolder guesses, and deliberately induce the consciousness level in all consciousness spaces, but it cannot directly harm the conscious subject.

The conscious subject can self-destruct, but it cannot conduct attacks on a quasi-physical level.

As soon as he thought of this, Bai Ning's self-destruction process stopped abruptly, and then quickly returned to its original state, and the transparent barrier in front of him disappeared without a trace.

Behind this transparent barrier, there is indeed an old human figure.

When he looked into the eyes of this old man again, he still had the same look that seemed to have gone through infinite vicissitudes of life.

In these seemingly infinitely deep eyes, all the possibilities of the past exist in them. Being able to see everything in the past, it seems that Bai Ning himself can also be seen.

Bai Ning wanted to make the image of this old man disappear, but he just stood quietly in front of him, with no tendency to disappear or the intention to talk.

Everything seems to be back to its original appearance.

It also seemed that everything he had experienced before was just a nightmare reverie of a brief moment, an illusion that existed in another fantasy and had never really existed.

Bai Ning, ever since he entered this special consciousness space, Bai Ning has been looking at the image of this old man.

All nightmares are just dreams within dreams based on deeper consciousness.

Regardless of whether this assumption is true or false, the current image of the old man is problematic.

He is the beginning of all psychological suggestions and the source of all emotional suggestions.

Facing those deep eyes that seem to be infinitely far away, people's consciousness seems to fall into it unconsciously and independently enter into a certain established process of logical thinking.

How long are you going to stay in this predicament?

Since the mountains and rivers do not come, then I will go to see the mountains.

Bai Ning stepped forward and strode towards the image of the old man.

However, something strange happened again.

The distance between Bai Ning and the image of the old man seems to be always so far away. No matter whether Bai Ning is hurrying or slowing down, fast or slow, it cannot affect the distance between them.

In a certain feeling, the image of the old man seemed to be a reflection projected into the distance by Bai Ning, a specific image transformed from one of Bai Ning's own obsessions.

What Bai Ning faced was not an illusion from a higher level of existence, but a certain obsession deep in Bai Ning's consciousness.

This image transformation is based on some implicit induction from a higher level of existence.

Its inductive result naturally caused Bai Ning to fight against himself.

Based on the previous speculation that consciousness can only harm itself, Bai Ning's current speculation about the existence of a higher level is also reasonable to a certain extent.

In other words, in order to create a basic situation of Bai Ning fighting each other on the factual level, higher-level existence uses Bai Ning to find the basic psychological characteristics of his opponent in this special consciousness space. Dao obsession reflects this special image of the old man.

So, what is this obsession that comes from the depths of Bai Ning's consciousness?

Where does that kind of almost infinitely profound look come from?

Is it because Bai Ning attaches too much importance to unknown existences and has a high degree of fantasy about unknown civilizations, so that he naturally lowers his status?

Therefore, the initial feeling of insignificance reflected Zi Bai Ning's basic psychological state.

This psychological state with humble characteristics may be a subconscious that even Bai Ning is not aware of.

In this special place, in front of a higher level that has dissected the consciousness of countless slaves, in front of this already superior existence, Bai Ning's small shortcomings were infinitely magnified.

Being able to find a psychological breakthrough by higher-level beings is Bai Ning's basic expectation, and it is also the basic threat to Bai Ning in the current environment.

Now it seems that all the previous struggles and unyielding were just because Bai Ning didn't know him well.

There is a humble heart hidden in Bai Ning's heart, a humble weak mentality, but in Bai Ning's heart, there is also stronger persistence and madness.

In the process of this mutual attack, Bai Ning has been fighting against his subconscious, but he doesn't know it.

Just as the image of the old man he is currently looking at is the embodiment of his obsession, from beginning to end, Bai Ning has been struggling with the weakness in his heart, but he is not very clear about it.

Now, through this hazy thought, Bai Ning seemed to see a higher and higher path to the sky.

This seems to be a concrete manifestation of ideological sublimation.

At this moment, Bai Ning understood himself more thoroughly, and also realized more specifically who the enemy standing in front of him was.

It is undeniable that the unconscious self is fighting against itself, and this process is extremely difficult and dangerous.

If you cannot realize that you are the one on both sides of the offense and defense, then no matter who loses or wins, it will be your own misfortune.

Even, just like the previous self-expansion explosion.

In this infinitely tangled confrontation, there is no way to tell the winner, and they can only fall into final collapse.
