The Three-Body Problem: The Most Competent Wallfacer of All Time

Chapter 613 The Meaning of Life

How did the tree grow in such a place?
Or it should be asked this way: How did this big tree grow in the space environment?
Thinking of the environment where the tree is located, and looking at the tree again, the more unreal it looks.

The wisdom signal said again: "You should be surprised to see me, right?

"After all, a long time ago, I tried to spread genes throughout the universe, and the effect was not bad. I believe that every intelligent creature has seen species like me.

"Well, I saw the figure of my descendants in the information you sent me.

"You call them plants, you call them trees."

This signal is sent by this big tree!

Jiang Yu was the first to recover from the surprise. He asked inexplicably, "Are you a life form of the first era? Or a life form of the second era?"

Dashu: "According to your concept, I am the living body of the zeroth season.

"A long, long time ago, I appeared in the universe, and then there were creatures in the universe, and it gradually became lively."

The solar system country fell into shock again, and Jiang Yu was no exception. He asked in surprise, "Are you the source of three-dimensional life?"

Dashu: "In a certain sense, yes."

Jiang Yu leaned back in his chair and suddenly smiled. He never thought that the source of three-dimensional life was "alive".

Originally, he thought that he could only find some ruins, or some vague clues.

Unexpectedly, the other party has subjective consciousness, so the prosperity of the three-dimensional life is the intentional action of the other party?

Jiang Yu suddenly felt that his throat was a little dry, and he took two sips of his drink before asking: "You are, yes, sorry, I couldn't find a suitable adjective for a while, what are you?"

Dashu: "I understand what you mean, you are asking where I come from? What is my meaning to the universe?"

"exactly!"

Dashu: "You can regard me as a continuation of the will of the universe, but you can't equate me with the universe.

"The process of my appearance is only a moment, and when I become what I am, it is what you see.

"I appeared in many places in the universe at the same time, and soon, the entire universe was full of life."

Jiang Yu pinched his chin and thought for a while: "Sorry, this is a little hard to understand."

Dashu: "I know, I know, as a reward for your courage, I will give you a detailed explanation, after all, I have been silent for a long time, and I also want to find someone to talk to.

"I found that in your concept, you have always treated life differently from the universe, which is wrong!

"No matter how advanced civilizations are, they must admit to one fact: life is a part of the universe.

"Just like the universe is the land and life is the grass, no matter how powerful the grass is, it cannot be separated from the land.

"The process of forming life in the universe is a natural process, just like a healthy plant, the process of germination, leaf growth, flowering, and fruiting is the same.

"The relationship between life and the universe is very solid.

"Say this may lead you into a misunderstanding: the universe is alive!
"This way of thinking is also wrong, the state of the universe cannot be understood by life, because life is only a part of the universe.

"Just like you, your body is made up of cells, and the needs of each cell are energy and water, but as a living body with autonomous consciousness, your spiritual needs are very complicated.

"How does a cell understand your spiritual needs?"

Jiang Yu nodded: "So, don't even you know the face of this universe?"

Dashu: "I know, but I don't understand.

"It's like a cell that doesn't understand why we're wasting energy communicating right now."

Jiang Yu asked again: "You said, you appeared in an instant, did you change from a state of nothing to a state of existence?"

Dashu: "I can probably feel that the universe has reached a certain state, so I appeared.

"It's like when you conceived in October and gave birth in one day.

"It's been a long process, but it's been an instant for me.

"Just like you now understand the formation process of the fetus, but what about the formation process of consciousness? How does this energy body appear?
"Like you, I also have doubts about my own origin, but the universe does not know doubts, and its laws have always been very clear.

"The universe should know more than we do, but we don't know how to interrogate it, just as a cell has no way of communicating with a human consciousness.

"Although I say that, don't treat the universe as a living body.

"I can feel that it is completely different from life, and at the same time I don't know its specific state, or its state has exceeded our understanding."

Jiang Yu smiled: "It's really ironic, the source of life is not something that life can understand."

Xiao Qi suddenly said in the channel: "Maybe this is the driving force for us to move forward, only when there is an unknown ahead, we will want to solve the mystery.

"Forever unknown, we will always be looking for answers."

Jiang Yu said "Yes", and asked Dashu again: "Can you tell us about the evolution history of life?"

Dashu: "The beginning is the end, and the end is the beginning."

Then he explained in detail: "When life begins, it represents the most ideal form of life.

"However, as the environment in the universe gets better and better, life begins to degenerate instead.

"After the emergence of intelligent life, it began to use external force to change itself, and finally returned to the peak state of life, which is the original state!"

Jiang Yu did not expect that in Dashu's eyes, the evolution process of life would be so simple.

Does this have something to do with his long lifespan?

Then Jiang Yu recalled a concept he first heard from 36: go out and come back.

Everything seems to follow this principle, the universe is expanding, but one day the universe will reach a critical point and start to collapse.

The current life is also like this. The perfect life body pursued by human beings has actually existed since the beginning of life.

Jiang Yu asked: "So, what is the meaning of life? Just degenerate and evolve like this?"

Dashu: "Life itself is the meaning of life."

Jiang Yu tried to interpret: "As long as you are born, no matter what life does, it has meaning? Survival and life are the meaning of life?"

He thought again: "No matter how you evolve, life must have the form of the evolution target before it can evolve in that direction.

"For example, if you want to evolve into a human, you must have at least human-related information in your genes. The process of retrieving this information is the meaning of life?"

Dashu: "Yes, it's not true, the meaning of life is: endless life!

"The power of life is stalwart, it witnesses the transformation of the universe.

"As you said before, the pursuit of the truth is the meaning of life, and striving to make progress is also the meaning of life.

"In general, finding a higher spiritual level is the meaning of life.

"That's what the universe doesn't have, it's so cold.

"Okay, that's all for your rewards."
