Chapter 82: Civilization is a Repeater (6400)
Because of the game [Continent of Discord], most of the chaotic memories sealed by Joshua have been slowly worn out and softened by the mental consumption of more than a billion people day and night.
In the same way, because of the tangible and reliable transcendent inheritance that can be obtained from the game, the game has become arguably popular throughout the Mycrof civilization, and has even become a part of everyone's life.
In this regard, Joshua and the entire Mycrof civilization can be said to be mutually beneficial, if there is no resistance and destruction of Joshua, the chaotic memory is simply impossible to be softened by the spiritual will of the vast majority of ordinary people, and then be worn out, and on the contrary, if there is no billions of people with multi-threaded, multi-faceted attempts and analysis, with the will of Joshua alone, no matter how powerful it is, there is no way to solve the chaotic memories of tens of millions of different subordinates so quickly.
The two sides cooperate with each other to have an effect that is far greater than one plus one is greater than two.
Now, a few years have passed since the Evil God of Death incident, and most of the chaotic memories have been completely shattered and digested, and the knowledge contained in them has gradually dispersed to the entire civilization with the progress of the game, imperceptibly improving the power of the entire Mycrove civilization, and Joshua has also benefited a lot from it, after all, he is a warrior who specializes in life energy and the power of steel, even if he has a condescending realm, he wants to quickly learn the essence of other extraordinary powers, It also requires the cooperation and experimentation of other beings in the civilization.
In fact, a few years ago, Joshua invested in and founded many transcendent organizations, such as the 'Human Progress Technology Group' that specializes in body transformation, the 'New Dawn Society' that tries to create a new Douqi cultivation method, and the 'Luminous Society' that has been secretly studying chaos-related matters within the Wintercastle Academy, these things are things that he himself does not have the time and energy to do, but it is necessary to do, and the warrior leaves these things to others, and he only needs to control a general direction.
And the results are also very exciting, the human progress technology group already has a very mature human body modification experience and technology, the elite team member, alchemist Constantine is one of the more successful examples, and the New Dawn Society actually has another name, called' Wintercastle Champion Academy Warrior Alliance', to put it bluntly, that is, the group of Dou Qi cultivators who graduated from the Wintercastle Warrior Branch, not to mention the Luminous Society, the leader is No. 3, and there is even direct investment from the Imperial Imperial Family, which is dedicated to studying matters related to the Chaos Clan and the Evil God.
The progress of civilization, that is, his progress, the transcendent can be independent of civilization, but it is not necessary, the two sides complement each other, can give full play to their potential, and progress is more comfortable and simple than fighting alone.
This path of mutual support is the order that Joshua and the other legendary powerhouses have determined after thinking about it for a long time.
In the silver world, Joshua's will is like an invisible wind, like an invisible God's perspective in the game, sweeping over the floating continents and looking down on the lives of many civilized heroes...... Among them, the best civilization Heroic Spirits who have completed their daily tasks, the 'Lava Giant', 'Thunder Jellyfish' and 'Rock Devouring Giant Worm', have reproduced a part of their own race with the support of Joshua, multiplying in their own territory, and as their mood worked, the area and quality of the Floating Continent have become larger and larger.
However, there are exceptions, just like the Rock Devouring Giant Worm, the Heroic Spirit of Civilization said that he did not want to continue to be taken care of by Joshua in the greenhouse, but wanted to expand the territory for the warriors, and repay the kindness of his life in the self-supporting colleagues. This race of semi-elemental life, which feeds mainly on metal-containing rocks, will soon relocate away from the Silver World, taking a repairing pillar of light with a repair pillar to a new world suitable for their race in the multi-galaxy...... And the vacant space they have left can be reserved for a new resurrected civilization Heroic Spirit.
"It's a virtuous circle...... A resurrected civilization is familiar with this strange world through the Heroic Spirits, and then the Heroic Spirits revive their own race, teach them common sense and knowledge, remultiply, and quickly form into a new intelligent civilization under the guidance of me and the Heroic Spirits...... When the time comes, I am afraid that I can become a sower, and when I encounter a living world suitable for survival, I will sow an entire intelligent race. ”
Looking at this scene, Joshua couldn't help but nod slightly, which was also expected by him, rather than saying that the reason why he resurrected these failed races was to be able to 'spread the order' better and faster, and then by instilling the 'knowledge and culture' that belonged to the Mycrof civilization into these civilizations, they would grow up rapidly and become natural supporters of the Mycrof civilization, and even become a member of the Mycrof civilization.
However, resurrection is naturally not without a price, Joshua's idea of extraordinary strength, the experimental subjects of human body transformation, and the test and cultivation of vindictive cultivation methods, some of them are too dangerous, and it is difficult to find relatively fragile humans, at this time, the otherworldly races with various attributes and different talents are the best test subjects.
It's like the 'emotional spectrum' system that Joshua just came up with, before the McCrof civilization is officially used, he will definitely make a deal with these resurrected races, let the other party conduct an experiment first, he can guarantee fairness and justice, and the experimenters are all voluntary, as for the consequences of the experiment, whether it is death, madness, or no effect, it is not very easy to say.
No one has a problem with that, because that's how the world works.
In fact, this approach is very similar to the 'civilization corrector', one of the natural disaster civilizations mentioned by the Great Khan of the Star Shepherd, except that what the civilization corrector does is to 'destroy the existing civilization and then shape it from scratch', while what Joshua does is 'resurrect the extinct race and then shape it from scratch', if you have to compare it, the former is a bloody and undoubted terrorist, and the latter is a kind Abel who happens to pass by and has the ability to resurrect.
"Yes, it's all good, no heroic spirits are lazy, everyone is working hard."
After inspecting all the floating continents, Joshua's will exuded satisfactory fluctuations, like an old peasant who saw the growth of leeks gratifyingly, and after the fluctuations, the warrior's will condensed, turned into a humanoid entity, and landed in the inner side of the world, among the endless crystal obelisks.
It can be seen that in the center of the world, the huge silver giant star is releasing endless light and heat, filling the world, the nine-fold continents overlap, bringing the alternation of night and day to each other, and at the bottom of these continents, the forest-like obelisk stands densely, and Joshua's family, countless silver goblins are flying among the crystal trees, repairing the cracks and damages that may appear on the obelisk seals.
At this time, most of the chaotic memories suppressed at the bottom of the obelisk have dissipated and turned into a part of Joshua's power, but there are still almost one or two percent of the chaotic memories that are still very stubborn, and the warrior landed this time is where the one or two percent of the chaotic memories are sealed.
It was obvious that the crystal obelisk in this place was much darker than in other places, and the aura of chaos overflowed here, even if many silver goblins came to flap their wings in groups, they did not do anything to disperse these hazy mist.
However, when Joshua descended, all of these dangerous mist dissipated invisibly in the breath, causing the surrounding groups of silver goblins to simply cheer.
"Praise the Lord!"
"The power of the Lord shines on the earth!"
This batch of silver goblins did not go to the goblin country to study, and moved directly from the world of Callis, so both the performance and reaction are very simple and pure, not at all like the elemental goblins...... Lively. For this, Joshua is still relatively satisfied, not that he doesn't like elemental goblins, but if all the silver goblins become like the elemental goblins, then wouldn't his world become a second goblin town? Even if it's a compliment, it's 'Dominate the handsome!' ''Juggernaut'! It's a kind of disappointing word.
In fact, that's how those elemental goblins praise their empress.
"Wait until you run farther, don't go near here, it's dangerous."
In the past, every time Joshua came, he would communicate with these relatives of his own to understand the other party's recent situation and state, but this time he had something to do, so he simply told the other party not to get too close, and then walked directly towards the core of this crystal obelisk.
After a few years, in an era when other legendary powerhouses are working hard to learn and recharge, and new legends and peak powerhouses of extreme intent are also appearing one by one, Joshua also intends to completely solve the hidden dangers of chaos in his own body.
At the same time, on the way to the core of the Sealed Chaos Memory, Joshua was also thinking, recalling the powerful civilizations and races he had recently encountered in the multi-star galaxy.
Eldars, Knowledge Receivers, Star Shepherds, Amos Court, Tarkur Order, Lund Civilization, Walder Civilization, Undead Bird, Void Behemoth...... And so on, all in the minds of the warriors.
Ignoring the two incarnations of the 'Nebula Life' Amos the Great and the 'Ultimate Soul Venerable' Patriarch Thakur who can fight against the gods, and the body is probably much stronger than the true gods, the most impressive life for Joshua is the 'Immortal Bird Void Beast' he encountered not long ago and the strange life scattered throughout the multi-galaxy, the 'Psionic Worm'.
Although it seems very nonsense to compare the two together, in fact, in Joshua's opinion, although the Immortal Bird Void Behemoth is extremely powerful, in terms of life form, it is probably inferior to the psionic insect...... Even more than one level.
It's not about pure strength, it's about survival mode.
It may be difficult to understand, but here is an example to illustrate the huge difference that different modes of survival represent.
A creature, tentatively called the 'hairless naked ape', lives in a primitive wild world, in the plains and forests, and its competitors and predators are many, such as tigers and wolves in the woods, lions and jackals in the plains. In addition, there are other apes in the same ecological niche as it, such as various hairy naked apes, baboon monkeys and orangutans.
Generally speaking, if they want to occupy an advantage in the long history of life evolution and let their race continue smoothly, there are two options, one is to evolve a tougher skin, stronger muscles, a larger body and stronger bones, and the other way is to reproduce more, multiplying, even if many are eaten by many natural enemies, there are still many that can continue.
To achieve this change, the hairless naked ape can only pray for luck. What the former needs is to give birth to an extremely strong, extremely tall physique, just like a mutant individual like King Kong, referred to as hairless King Kong, and this mutant individual has reproduced more offspring by virtue of its strong advantage, and more hairless King Kong has appeared in its offspring, further transforming the genes of the hairless naked ape, so that the hairless naked ape gradually and completely becomes a hairless King Kong, and then gain an advantage in survival, so that its own ecological niche can be migrated, and the tiger, lion, jackal and gray wolf and other beasts will be driven out of the forest.
And the latter, like the former, needs a mutant to make the changed bloodline have an advantage to pass on until it is completely changed - but not to mention when the mutation will appear, the process of bloodline change alone will take at least tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of years.
This is the survival and evolution method of the 'beast', and it is also the survival and evolution method chosen by the 'Void Behemoth', the most powerful 'beast' in this multiverse, and the immortal bird Void Behemoth is naturally no exception.
And the path chosen by intelligent life, 'civilization', is far from it.
When many hairless naked apes were in a panic, hoping that a King Kong would be born in the race, and the evolution process that God knows how many thousands of years would begin, suddenly one day, a genius appeared among the hairless naked apes.
- It has learned to use fire.
Of course, the order of things learned by hairless naked apes in different worlds may be different, some may learn psionic energy, some may be vindictive, and some may be other things, but the general meaning is the same - hairless naked apes have abandoned the long period of 'genetic bloodline transformation', and began to learn to use fire, learn to use tools, learn to use bows, arrows, knives and guns, and magic to survive in this world through 'imitation behavior'.
When the genius of a tribe can steadily ignite the flames, create swords, bows and arrows, so that the hairless naked apes can hunt prey at a smaller price than before, and eat more nutritious food, all hairless naked apes will 'imitate', and the time required for 'imitation' is far easier than 'blood inheritance'.
'Using tools' is essentially a kind of mutation, which is no different from mutating into a strong body type, but if a strong body type wants to spread to all hairless naked apes in the world, it takes hundreds of thousands of years to be the base unit, and it is even impossible to spread 100% of the time, but using tools is different, it can achieve an evolutionary advantage for hairless naked apes that is far greater than that of a strong body, and the speed of learning is also fast, and the speed of transmission is equally fast, which is a far more efficient 'than 'bloodline evolution' Knowledge evolves into a 'mode of survival, and at this point, the hairless naked ape can call itself a 'human'.
Because since then, they have divided themselves from their former selves and officially become 'civilization'.
The essence of civilization does not lie in the body, and the robustness of the individual human being is no longer the most important part of the survival advantage.
A short and unhealthy human being, when he is barehanded, can't even beat a hairless naked ape, but if he has a bow and arrows in his hand, the hairless naked ape may only turn around and run, if he has a gun in his hand, ordinary tigers are not willing to risk attacking, and if this person wears exoskeleton armor and holds a wheel Gatling, good fellow, even if this person is a malnourished asthmatic, it does not prevent him from chasing a group of fierce beasts to cry and cry for their mother.
If you say, in addition, he can also magic, can be vindictive, what kind of god is a priest, then it is even more amazing, he has received education in just ten years, and the extraordinary cultivation he has carried out, can hang the evolution process of wild animals for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years, and the magic beast is useless, because with the same resources and time, a magic beast is born from the beast, and human beings can educate a few dozen transcendents of the same level.
When the first hairless naked ape learned to wield fire, and learned to make spears, swords, bows and arrows, it became him, and he was no longer a being of the same dimension as all the beasts, and their life forms were superior to all the beasts, because they had mastered a higher mode of evolution, which was 'knowledge and technology'.
Just as homogenes are the basic unit of life, transmitted through replication and heredity, and evolved through mutation and mutation, memes are the basic unit of civilization and culture, which relies on replication and imitation to spread, and likewise relies on mutation (spark of inspiration) to evolve.
And this kind of knowledge evolution, not only spread, the speed of learning, the speed of progress is faster - the Stone Age lasted for about two million years, and even 10,000 years ago, human beings were still primitive intelligent beings who could only use simple tools, but soon, in the next one or two thousand years, human beings learned to cast metal weapons, and the beasts of nature evolved for hundreds of millions of years without being able to make their minions so sharp, and for another one or two thousand years, human beings made muskets, tanks, airplanes, missiles, ...... The process of all this is almost like flying, and the beast no longer deserves to be compared to man.
This is the process of knowledge and technology, that is, the 'evolution of memetic information'.
It is not so much that the essence of human beings is a repeater, but that the essence of civilization is a repeater.
If you add extraordinary power, then the beast may be able to barely hold on for a while, after all, the initial strength of this power is too high, and it is not the same as the fur of the minions, and the extraordinary power can also give birth to a terrifying 'beast' similar to the Void Beast, which ordinary civilizations cannot face and defeat.
"However, there is no need to compare like this, because civilization also has its own powerful existence - such as the legendary powerhouse of the Microf world, and the various war weapons created by the Sanctuary civilization and the 'Black Mist Mother'."
"Unconscious existence."
"Conscious presence."
"Conscious cognition."
"Self is cognition."
"Change is universal."
Joshua's division of survival mode can be roughly divided into the above five levels.
Compared to the primitive soup, which has no self-consciousness but can self-replicate and inherit the characteristics of macromolecular organisms and single-celled, multicellular organisms, it is a higher level of survival than the non-existent mode of existence.
Compared with mature multicellular organisms, such as sponges, etc., which have evolved and matured, and have self-consciousness of various beasts, insects and other lifeforms, the survival mode is at a higher level, and they can consciously change themselves and affect the whole world more efficiently.
However, compared to the slow evolution that has abandoned the physical aspect, and instead uses 'memes', 'knowledge', this kind of self-replicating and evolving 'minds' to form society, civilization and all other intelligent life, their life mode is a higher level than that of mere instinctive creatures and genetic slaves, which is the survival mode of the level of 'conscious cognition'.
As for the legendary powerhouses, gods, and all kinds of powerhouses that rely on knowledge and transcend their own life forms with extraordinary strength, it can be said that they have taken the step of advancing the survival mode, but they have not yet fallen.
Their form of existence is already a super life, immortal and immortal, and there is almost no resemblance to mortal things, but there is no absolute difference in nature from ordinary intelligent life, it can only be said that it is a very powerful intelligent life.
Then, at a higher level, 'self is cognition', and itself is the life of meme...... And how?
Walking slowly between the crystal obelisks, Joshua let out a breath as he couldn't help but recall the time when he was studying the 'Psionic Bug' and couldn't figure it out.
It's completely unclear how the 'psionic worm' reproduces, how it appears, and how it moves. Its physical entity is made entirely of psionic energy, but why does this section of psionic energy appear? Could it really be a life that exists entirely in memetic form?
Could it be that this seems to be unintelligent, just like a cosmic cockroach, and is actually a 'memetic life form' that is a level higher than their human beings?
"Actually, not necessarily, after all, no one knows whether the psionic worm has wisdom or not - maybe it's just the appearance we see, maybe, all over the entire multi-galaxy, the seemingly ordinary psionic worm is a huge whole life, and his wisdom may be more vast than all of us combined. The Immortal Bird Void Behemoth is nothing more than a 'beast' that is powerful to the limit, and it just exists in this world, and it is not worth mentioning at all. ”
Of course, Joshua wasn't really thinking about which was stronger or more advanced, the 'Immortal Bird Void Beast' or the 'Psionic Worm', he was just figuring out something more important through the comparison of the two.
- Primitive life exists in the world. Beasts live in the world. Civilization understands the world. Legendary powerhouses try to understand the truth and understand the world, and psionic worms may have become part of the world, that is, a general phenomenon.
"If you say, the legend is a super life that surpasses ordinary intelligent life by half a step."
Thinking like this, the warrior whispered to himself, "So, the 'sages' who have clearly surpassed the legend, and even more than one realm, their evolution ...... I'm afraid we've reached a point where we can change our perceptions. ”
This is the "sage" mode of existence in Joshua's vision, "changing the universal cognition", that is, "changing the world, changing the truth".
Just right.
Just as Joshua's thoughts were over, he arrived at his destination.
Joshua raised his head and looked at the super giant crystal obelisk in front of him, which was 4,521 meters high, and the chaotic memories that were suppressed in it, exuding endless 'malicious chaos' fluctuations.
The black mist that drifted away, like the sticky asphalt that filled the air, was unpleasant.
"Before I take a step forward."
Looking at this stubborn chaotic memory that could not be softened and decomposed by billions of people day and night for several years, Joshua, who was full of silver brilliance, shook his head as he raised his hand.
"It's time to clean up and deal with stubborn stains."
