The act of an admirer 'heading' towards the place where he admires is called a 'chase'.

Then, the act of the strong constantly searching for a 'target' in an unknown ocean that they know almost nothing about can be called a 'search'.

Whether it is chasing or seeking, there is no superior or inferior essence, there is a way to find, whether it is the goal or the purpose is exactly the same, but the meaning of the act itself is completely different - or a bit arrogant to say so, but the former is only passive, dragged forward, while the latter is the active forward, self-care on the journey.

No one is stronger than the other, no one is higher than the other, and even the latter is more likely to be confused and disoriented...... However, the latter makes it easier to 'understand' what they are looking for, and it is easier to understand their own path, but this is undoubted.

Unless, the former, realizes that the existence he admires, although the most revered of the peaks of life, is not impossible to transcend, perhaps only with such 'arrogance' or 'self-confidence' can the admirer find his own way.

It's just that Joshua doesn't need the process.

Throughout, he was 'seeking' the sages, not 'chasing' the footsteps of the other party.

His goal is to become a being who can be compared to or even surpass the sages, not to become a new 'sage' – the power of emotion is the first step he takes to grasp the back of the sage, and it is also the cornerstone of the future.

In the spiritual realm, countless races in the world of stars have been piled up for thousands of years, and tens of thousands of years of emotional whirlpool is burning, among them, there are the guilt of the dying to their families, the unwillingness of the elderly to die, the only trace of attachment to their children before the return of the satisfied, the unjustified jealousy of the crazy and the happy, the perverted destructive desire of the abnormal people, and the resolute and pure disappointment of the depressed people in this world.

The beautiful, the ugly, the twisted, the clean, the persistent, the indifferent - in the multiverse, I am afraid that the first transcendent power created by civilization to transform the world, the power of psionic energy is converging, it resonates with life itself, and then ignites an almost infinite flame, and under the hammer of the giant god from another world, and the strongest psionic wielder in this world, it turns into four near-materialized divine rings.

Where does 'God' come from, and what is it?

A long, long time ago, when Joshua looked up at the starry sky of Microf with the god of luck and despair, he was thinking about this question and trying to solve it in his own way, to reproduce the power of God.

He created matter, created life, created the world, created his own family, and even revived the memories of the chaotic Chinese Ming, creating the heroic spirit of civilization—everything Joshua did except that he was not a god in a narrow sense, was enough to make him a god.

Even, in the world of stars, he has been worshiped as a new god by the people of the Atrium.

But in the beginning, Joshua still did not understand the nature of God 100 percent...... He originally felt that God was just an adjective, and as long as he did something similar to God, he was already a god, whether it was the God of Creation, the God of War, or the God of Destruction, that was the name he could get.

But later, the warrior discovered that the essence of the god is actually a higher level of life form, an existence that transcends ordinary civilizations, just like the existence of strong artificial intelligence to humans.

This metaphor is not appropriate and accurate, the relationship between gods and people, and civilization is far from simple, they are individuals who have initially memeticized themselves and obtained the divine power of the source of the multiverse, which is far from being comparable to strong artificial intelligence - this cognition, after Joshua completely cleansed his body of chaotic memories and suppressed his own divinity, he obtained a lot of information and materials from his divinity that was not originally possible, after all, he could not go to one of the seven gods and let them perform on the verge of losing control to show himself.

But now, Joshua has begun to practice in reality according to his own thinking.

The Ring of the Four Gods was Joshua's practice of understanding the gods, and now it seems that the practice has been successful, and it proves that the warrior has chosen the right direction, and that he can already create true gods - although this is said to be with the help of the external forces of the emotional vortex of the star world, but it does not matter.

The important thing is that today's Joshua has found a way to become a god without relying on the Great Source, without relying on the Initial Fire and Divine Power, and to explore the essence of memeticization! He could have created several gods, as he is now, and watched them ascend, and then step into the 'fourth realm of life' without being bound by the initial fire.

"The main body of the Ring of the Four Gods has been roughly completed, and the rest only needs to rely on the spiritual energy net of the Star World to gradually run in and forge it."

With the end of the quality and spirit transformation, Joshua, who had finished forging, put down the 'hammer' in his hand, and his huge soul body in the spirit world began to gradually shrink, and then dissipated into nothingness, leaving behind four flames that had been refined to the limit, and the entity of the rune ring rose and fell in it.

In the real world, the four-armed giant god opened his eyes, and in front of him, the embodiment of the immortal lighthouse, the psionic crystal orb, also lit up again.

"The extreme 'emotion' has been communicated to the Great Source and the corresponding divine power has been obtained-although now, I still don't know exactly what those essences are, whether it is destruction or battle, whether it is cunning or conspiracy, but there is no doubt that the 'Ring of the Four Gods' has succeeded, and it can be said to be a real 'artifact'."

This so-called artifact is not a vessel, weapon, or other tool used by the gods, but a 'material weapon' that holds the 'position of a god' and has no self-will—in other words, the four gods without self-will, relying on the emotions of countless civilizations in the vortex of burning emotions, resist the pull of the great source, and maintain the personality of the divine power of the gods.

[Analysis: I understand your thoughts, Radcliffe, you want to refine your emotional power to create four gods to rule the sea of psionic energy]

[Analysis: You want to rely on four artificial gods to suppress chaos in your place—at least, in your absence, to carry out chaos eradication operations in your absence]

"Yes, it does."

Joshua didn't hide it, he nodded, the warrior looked around at the dim galaxy in front of him, and he said calmly: "It is impossible for me to spend hundreds of thousands of years fighting chaos in the world of stars - even if it is decades, more than ten years is unlikely, my civilization is also facing an imminent crisis, I can't even stay in the world of stars for a long time, I can only temporarily relieve your urgent needs." ”

"I knew that a few months, if not years, would be almost negligible for a galaxy-level battle, so I took a different approach."

The ancients often said that it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish, and this is exactly what Joshua thought.

Instead of helping the Star World to cure the symptoms and kill tens of millions of galaxy Chaos Clans, it is better to leave a powerful force to strengthen the Atrium Civilization and even the Galaxy Guardian Alliance, so that the other party can have an advantage over Chaos, and the 'emotion', a hybrid supernatural power discovered by Joshua and a combination of psionic energy and life energy, may be a good choice.

In fact, there are not many mixed supernatural powers, for example, the recent 'divine energy' used by the Patriarch of the Takur Annihilation Order in the middle of the battle is the product of a mixture of divine power and spiritual energy.

In the Grandia world back then, the extraordinary power 'magic energy' used by most people was also a mixture of magic and life energy, and the innate ability used by some psionic warlocks was a mixture of spiritual energy and magic or ether, and the power of nature itself was more inclined to the power of etheric magic in life energy, not to mention the fighting energy, the elemental fighting energy, the holy light fighting energy has long become a system, and it is a very traditional mixture of life energy and elements and holy light.

By the way, there are also magicians, any magician has to practice magic, elemental and ether at the same time, there are basically no accidents, many high-level spells, and even a mixture of the three systems of extraordinary power, so the difficulty is extremely high.

However, this kind of hybrid supernatural power does not form a solid theoretical system edifice from beginning to end - most of the mixed power is only because the predecessors found that it can be used in this way, so the latecomers continue to use it like this, they practice, use this power, most of them are two or three supernatural powers to practice together, and they can be debugged on the spot when needed, and in the end, because of the problem of energy, the vast majority of people will choose one path to go down perfectly, rather than eating too much and not chewing on both paths.

The difference between the power of 'emotion' is that from the very beginning, Joshua wanted to separate emotions from spiritual energy and life energy, as an experiment to try to create a new kind of transcendent power, it has a complete theoretical system, and from the very beginning of the practice, it is the spiritual energy and life energy are one, and the two are not separated from each other, and they can upgrade the realm together. And the Ring of the Four Gods of the Star World, and even all the individuals who want to choose this path in the future, are all Joshua's voluntary observation subjects.

With a number of intelligent beings calculated by Zhaojing as a reference, as a big data collection, Joshua can be sure that the speed of his exploration of the emotional system will definitely be faster than anyone imagined - backed by the alliance of thousands or even tens of thousands of civilizations, backed by a whole super-large galactic world, the so-called symbiotic relationship between the strong and civilizations is like this, the strong provide a beautiful possibility, and the latter will perfect and shape it into a real transcendent power system!

All in all.

Under the guidance of the four categories represented by the Ring of the Four Gods, theoretically, any intelligent mind can awaken emotional power, plus they are likely to have the foundation of spiritual energy, and the cultivation of emotional power will definitely be faster and stronger, in this way, in the case of the advanced level of collective power, it is only a matter of time before the civilization of the Star World suppresses or even counterattacks Chaos, far more than Joshua himself has to cure the root cause.

Of course. The real cure for the symptoms in Joshua's heart is actually to kill all the evil gods - where are there so many twists and turns, kill the guy who created the problem, and the problem doesn't exist?

However, judging from the current situation, the existence of the star world is all clans, although there are many of them, but they are not indestructible, if it is not for the triple curtain to protect the intelligent civilization of the entire world, but also to suppress the emotional vortex, the three of them should be able to cope with the current situation, if there is an evil god, the situation of the Galaxy Guardian Alliance will definitely be more than ten times more miserable.

However, just as Joshua was closing his eyes and thinking, controlling the large number of metal Dyson balls and warships he had built before to destroy the chaos around him, the Immortal Lighthouse raised a question.

[Praise: Very perfect train of thought, Radcliffe, you are indeed the successor of the sage, you have surpassed most of the transcendental, and walked at the forefront of the limit]

[Emotion: So far, in the world of stars, the number of civilizations that have discovered compound extraordinary power is seven hundred and sixty-two, the number of civilizations that have excavated their power is twenty-seven, the number of civilizations that have built a theoretical system is three, and the number of civilizations that have analyzed its essence is zero, your arrival is indeed a great strengthening of the world of stars, and it is the most correct choice to support the summoning plan of the people of the Atrium, which is the most correct choice for the triple curtain]

[Question: However, there is still a very serious problem with your plan]

"I know what you're talking about."

The giant god nodded, indicating that he already knew, Joshua's face remained unchanged, and he even smiled, and replied: "You want to say that although the 'Four God Rings' have been forged and hold god-level powers, they have not given birth to their own will, so they are easily affected by emotions, right?" ”

The Immortal Lighthouse did not answer, as it was a very obvious question.

Just as the sea of psionic energy can be polluted by the souls of countless deceased, the emotional vortex itself is also an extremely impure power, even if it is extracted by the joint efforts of Joshua and the Triple Veil, it is easily polluted by the emotions of all beings, after all, they themselves are beings born from all beings.

To put it simply, the Rings of the Four Gods are still just objects, not living beings, and although they are powerful enough to serve as a beacon to guide the emotional cultivators of the Star World to climb upwards, to make the longing follow the light, and to make the curious find the way, their weakness lies in this: the emotions of all beings can also affect them.

If most of the emotions of the beings in the world of stars are goodwill, then the ring of courage is the ring of courage, the ring of wisdom is the ring of wisdom, the perseverance of those who persevere, and the lover of determination is full of determination.

But if on the contrary, the emotions of the beings in the world of the stars are mostly malice, then courage will turn into hatred and madness, wisdom will turn into greed and indulgence, what was once resolute will become stubborn, and what was once love will become jealousy.

All are good, God is good, all are evil, God is evil. This is the difficulty of not having self-wisdom, after all, emotions are two sides of the same body, this kind of unconscious deity is too easy to be influenced by others, and it is even possible that it will only take one day to complete the reversal of the camp of good and evil.

"It's simple to fix it."

So Joshua replied as a matter of course: "The reason why I made them look like rings is because they will find their own owners—or rather, I know that one day, someone will wear them." ”

As Joshua's current situation, the most powerful and proudest of him, the existence of grasping the sage's back, the problems that the Four Gods Ring might encounter, he had already thought of all of them, and thought of a solution.

The rings of the four gods are easy to be influenced by people, so why not settle in them with a few firm wills that will not change even in the face of the emotional vortex, and master these four rings?

Aren't rings meant for people to wear...... Without hands, it's not surprising to be a pendant.

Seeds, the practice of 'emotional power', exercise the spirit, but also exercise the body, if someone can really practice to the point where they can touch the ring of the four gods in the spiritual realm in the future, then their willpower and ability can definitely become a true god in the McCrof world - the standard of the strong is the same, and this is the same throughout the multiverse.

"If you settle in the will of the 'artifact', you will naturally become a god."

Saying this, Joshua lowered his head, he closed his eyes, and eight figures representing the seven gods came to his mind. After a moment of silence, he opened his eyes, and then whispered to himself, "This is also what I understand, the method of 'man-made gods'...... Perhaps, this is the origin of the 'Seven Gods', that is, how the sages were able to use the remnants of the souls of their disciples and friends to resurrect them and turn them into gods. ”

"In other words, this is the method of the birth of the true 'true God' beyond the primordial God, the heaven and earth gods, the belief in the gods."

- I can probably understand what the sages thought at the beginning.

Thinking of this, Joshua turned his head and looked at the Immortal Lighthouse, he said with a smile: "I have brought the 'emotional system' to the world of stars, and you and your companions should find someone for it who can lead this system forward and perfect, this is the division of labor between you and me...... Speaking of which, I just met two of your companions, and next time I'm going to pay a formal visit. ”

After all, the 'Triple Veil' intelligence of the 'Life Preservation Program', but the intelligent program left by the Psionic Sage at the beginning, in a sense, is the inheritor of the other party - this is different from the identity of the inheritor of the Demon Sage who knows how many generations of the knowledge receiver, although the other party has not wandered in the multiverse and may have less knowledge, but the original information kept by the Triple Veil is definitely enough!

- Find an opportunity for these two to meet...... The Demon Sage is the first sage to emerge from the great civilization after the Psionic Sage, and there must be many things between the inheritors of these two civilizations that can confirm each other and get more truth.

Later, we will send a message to the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Ground to see if we can get the knowledge receiver to send some high-level officials.

Joshua thought for a moment, in this case, if the Mycrof civilization can represent the inheritors of the sages, then this is a grand occasion for the inheritors of the three sages to gather together, and I don't know if there were ancients in the history of the multiverse.

[Promise: No problem, second, first curtain looking forward to your visit]

The Immortal Lighthouse replied immediately, but soon, he expressed his doubts.

[Question: Radcliffe, what's the matter?] You're in a daze]

“…… It's okay. ”

When communicating with the Immortal Lighthouse, Joshua, who was suddenly stunned, blinked, and the Iron Giant God turned his head and looked at the side of the dark universe with a bright galaxy, his tone was quite strange, and while he was puzzled, he said with obvious joy: "I really didn't expect that it would only take a long time." ”

"How quickly someone has been echoed by emotional power and has become the first 'vow-holder' who can control emotional power?"
