Wandao long distance

Li Qi bid farewell to the Forward Alliance and left with Shen Shuibi.

The president died in the remains of the college he had founded.

To this world, several people with different identities have passed away but have not been buried in history, but their deeds have been passed down.

The fifth-grade battleship arrived, and the whole world of the Advance Alliance was shocked and inexplicable.

And those who worshiped the pre-civilization gods were ecstatic, their efforts had been rewarded, their piety had been approved, and the pre-civilization was back!

Tech companies are scared.

The farmers were at a loss, and the knights were already preparing to die for their country.

Various reactions appeared, but Li Qi did not ignore them, but looked at them seriously in the sky.

This is...the Tao is within it.

That's right, what Li Qi understood before is reflected in this place.

The Tao is within, not just one's own 'inside', but also the 'inside' of others.

That's right, other people's guilt, this is what Li Qi realized before, "My subjectivity is other people's objectivity."

Other people's objectivity is also other people's Tao, and it is also in other people's hearts.

And all of this was seen by Li Qi.

What he saw was everything that happened in a mere fifth-grade world that he usually didn't bother to raise his eyes.

Many of these fifth-grade worlds were destroyed during the Vanguard War. He had never seriously looked at them, but in the past 70 years, he had carefully observed this incredibly fast civilization.

The forward alliance is only a fifth-level civilization. This universe is too dangerous for them. They are too small, and they are not even aware of this smallness.

Therefore, like countless dust particles, they were gently 'brushed off'. A passing refueling by the little overlord Shou Yu directly interrupted the civilization process of this world. If it weren't for Li Qi, they would have been completely destroyed. .

But, but—!
Even if they are crushed into ants, they are still pursuing their own path!
Even they don’t know what it is!But they were still vaguely aware of the power that spread throughout the universe and filled their hearts.

They may not know the dangers of the universe, but they probably know that this power is enough to dominate the entire universe.

How weak the Forward Alliance is, even in the heyday of civilization, which was able to smash stars, drive the world to run wildly in the universe, and fill the sky with dense warships, they were far from being able to summarize it. Even the slightest bit of truth.

They are so insignificant in front of the universe, how can they be worthy of pursuing such a thing?

But, in fact, the Forward Alliance is pursuing this kind of thing, and is still pursuing it after the destruction of civilization.

The tiny Forward Alliance, they are still babies in their own cradle, and they are trying hard to stretch out their shaky hands and grasp the sun in the sky.

Extremely stupid.

But there is no doubt that this is definitely the most dazzling thing that the Forward Alliance has ever done.

And, this great thing spreads throughout the universe.

Li Qi left the Forward Alliance, and then, outside the world barrier, looked into the void.

He saw the endless void and the countless worlds within it.

As mentioned before, the world group in the Fantasy Realm is very magnificent, because the density of the worlds here is ridiculously high, and there are too many worlds.

Among the countless worlds with extremely high density, it seems that every one of them is emitting such dazzling light.

After going through hardships, the world looked different in Li Qi's eyes.

In the past, Li Qi divided Tao into two distinctions: "Tao is within it" and "Tao is outside it".

Within it is Li Qi’s inner Tao.

Beyond that, there are the objective natural laws of the outside world.

But now, he discovered that although other people's Tao was within it, it was integrated with the 'objective laws of nature'.

As a result, the universe appears so dazzling!
Countless worlds stretched out their immature hands, trying to grasp the sky, which gave Li Qi a huge shock!
During the more than 70 years of the Forward Alliance, Li Qi integrated the internal and external Tao, just as he unified the subjective and the objective.

The universe shows another, completely different appearance.

The boundaries between pure spirit and pure matter were blurred at this moment and merged together, blooming with a shocking brilliance.

The beauty of this material world requires subjective observation before it can be fully revealed.

Li Qi once only focused on the objectivity of the world. Because of the demon's concern, he always wanted to confirm the absolute objectivity of the world, but ignored the subjectivity of the world itself, and then ignored the self-feelings of others, because if these self-feelings are based on From an absolutely objective nature, these are all 'philosophical zombies'.

Yes, others can be philosophical zombies.

It can express all the physical attributes of human beings, including physical condition, functional appearance, behavioral patterns, etc., exactly the same as ordinary people.

But in fact, these people have no "self-awareness" and no pure spirit, but simply perform a mechanical action.

He has no real sense of pain, but like humans, if he is torn out a wound, he will have a mechanical reaction of "pain", such as screaming, stress reflex, etc.

When you observe it from the perspective of absolutely objective matter, you will find that this is the case for all people. All other lives are just something that is physically the same as us, but has no conscious experience, except for yourself. Yes, the inner world of all life is dark.

To be honest, what is the difference between Li Qi's condescending attitude and that of a demon?Maybe it's because he's not as playful as the demon?
But if you don’t like to play, wouldn’t that be the ultimate solipsism?When everyone's things are unimportant, and they undoubtedly think that the other person is a zombie, only they have a subjective experience.

As a result, he will eventually fall into solipsism and the devil's way. This is also the reason why Li Qi was shrouded in devilish energy before.

To be honest, there is nothing wrong with the magic way, it's just that Li Qi doesn't like it.

But now, Li Qi has found a way to get rid of solipsism and change the world in his eyes, including his own superior perspective.

Consciousness is not an accessory to matter, nor is it a natural reaction of philosophical zombies. Li Qi's answer affirms the existence of other people's free will, and through the action of 'thinking', he affirms the active role of consciousness on matter, and then sets up a bridge between pure spirit and pure matter.

Thanks to the former Tao Principle Reader, this mysterious invention from the spiritual Tao helped Li Qi successfully verify the inaccessibility of free minds in a tricky way.

Although he still cannot experience the feelings of others, he can undoubtedly believe that other people's 'minds' exist. Because objective reality exists, the mind will also exist.

To say it was a sudden enlightenment is nothing more than that.

Still the same sentence.When you think about it, when the final answer emerges, there is only one sentence in the end: "That's it."

"I see..." Li Qi looked at the bright stars in the sky and seemed to see the spirit of civilization in them.

Countless worlds swarmed together and continued to undergo violent changes under the influence of gravity. Random encounters threw the stars one by one out of the gravitational well of the world group, and then they were sucked back and fell at an incredible speed. Entering into the even more unfathomable depths of space, maintaining the delicate gravitational balance in this area.

Life and consciousness were born in hundreds of thousands of trillions of different centers, and then expanded outward to the entire starry sky. Vast empires opened up territories, endless wars took place, brilliant civilizations rose and fell, and new ones were constantly born among the stars. The consciousness, in this world of nothingness, forges a more tenacious life than before.

The universe itself is as vast and empty as an abandoned museum. Li Qi, like everyone else, is an exhibit in it.

He just displayed himself silently, each exhibit shining with the light of his own thoughts, but time continued to stretch and became infinite, and the faint light emitted by those thoughts became more and more intense as time accelerated. weak.

At this level, these civilizations are exactly the same as ourselves.

Around Li Qi, countless ideas like his may be rising and declining silently.

The light they emitted was no less than that of Li Qi, so Li Qi would be overwhelmed by the endless time just like them.

He realized a brand new possibility, that is -

All life will eventually be trapped in time, like being immersed in freezing water that is gradually solidifying.

All consciousness and all thoughts will gradually dissipate in the face of infinite time and this cold universe. In the end, only an unknown consciousness will be left, vaguely remembering 'oneself' previous identity, and 'oneself' 'But couldn't move.

The continued expansion of the universe will tear your memory apart bit by bit, and what awaits you is complete forgetfulness, not just by others, but by yourself.

Li Qi suddenly woke up——

Many great beings are slowly sliding through the expanding curve of time and space. Trillions of years of memory are being tortured. The river of consciousness is draining and drying up, like a dim candle in an empty room.

Li Qi looked up at the infinite light of civilization in the starry sky, feeling horrified in his heart.

If you are like them, then the universe is not what you want it to be.

The universe doesn't fit the theoretical model you're willing to accept.

However, Li Qi did not feel depressed, he was on the contrary——

If you are facing the established extinction, then you must find a corrective method to make the universe conform to this method, or create a universe you like more.

Fortunately, Li Qi had enough time to study the details of the plan and plan how to fight against this final destruction.

With infinite time dilation, we can all find ways to preserve information in the ultimate destruction - life can certainly escape the fate of extinction.

Perhaps, all actions are based on this belief.

He suddenly raised his head, saw the starry sky, and couldn't help but let out a long roar!
The Path Chaser may have a second reason, which is to challenge the inevitable fate brought about by the infinite time of the universe!
The endless continuation of time and the demise of everything is a huge challenge for any kind of path and any path seeker. It can even be said to be the 'ultimate challenge'.

This is the ultimate test that the universe gives to practitioners.

You must face it head-on and win this battle before you can explore things in the universe.

Li Qi felt a strong sense of fulfillment.

But Shen Shuibi, who was beside him, felt the most profoundly.

Rabbit could clearly feel that the loneliness that once enveloped him had dissipated a lot.

If Li Qi could not find any comrades before, then...for him now, the entire universe is a 'comrade'.

So, how could he feel lonely?

He should feel lucky.

So, the rabbit just smiled and didn't say much.

The problems that Li Qi was troubled by were not problems at all to her. She had never been troubled by these things. After all... on the road, everyone encountered different problems.

But Shen Shuibi also followed Li Qi to look at the starry sky. In that boundless void, sparks were flying, and huge stars were born, burned, and died. Every spark flickered, which meant that millions of worlds were indifferent to the universe. Flying through.

Still spectacular.

At this time, Shen Shuibi stretched out her hand, pulled Li Qi's sleeve, and said with a smile: "Relieved?"

"Yeah, I'm relieved. Let's go back and see the child." Li Qi also smiled.

He seemed to understand why Shen Shuibi was not anxious at all.

This answer may have always been in her heart.

Li Qi turned around, faced Shen Shuibi, and said, "You can feel relieved."

"There's nothing to worry about. Haven't I been by your side for the past 70 years?" she replied.

Li Qi raised his head and looked at the starry sky again.

It really is.

Since he returned to the world of the Advance Alliance, Shen Shuibi has stayed almost every step of the way for more than 70 years, waiting until he figured out the answer.

"Besides, you move pretty fast. 70 years is much faster than I thought." Rabbit said.

You know, what Li Qi does is not just watching the actions of mortals, or participating in something himself. These are actually just appearances.

What he is really doing is to verify the 'subjectivity of others'. He is truly experiencing other people's feelings and trying to feel other people's feelings.

For many people, this is a natural ability, call it 'empathy', and they become accustomed to it.

However, this is just instinctive possession. When they begin to think deeply and become deeply aware of the subjectivity of this world and the inaccessibility of other people's consciousness... can they still empathize?

The more deeply you think about it, the easier it is to break away from this 'habit'. Ignorant people can sometimes do great things.

Li Qi, on the other hand, had it again after breaking away from this habit.

The mountains are still mountains, the water is still water.
