Soul of Burning Steel

Back then, after fighting the evil god of death, what was suppressed by Joshua along with the chaotic memory was actually his divinity of 'fighting', 'killing' and 'destroying'.

Compared with the chaotic memory that can be weakened by tricks in the Continent of Disputes, divinity is more illusory and more difficult to solve.

However, through communicating with the knowledge receiver, as well as thinking about the path after the legend and the realm of the sage, Joshua found that he may have found the essence of the gods, the truth of the divinity, and even the legend. Above, the realm between the realms of sages.

What is divinity?

It is the mind of intelligent life, its reflection in the primordial fire.

In the currently observable multiverse, all matter and the spiritual world all come from the light of the primordial fire, and in the primordial fire, there is information and power of all things, and all things are derived from the primordial fire, and The source of all things has an essential connection.

And divinity is the overpowering reflection of the mind of intelligent life in the initial fire—this reflection corresponds to the material world and is connected. If the gap can be opened, infinite divine power will emerge from it.

But the essence of this gap is actually a wound torn out by too pure will and too pure belief in the connection between all things and the initial fire.

Infinite divine power is essentially the power to repair wounds, just like platelets flow with the blood and coagulate blood to heal wounds. Divine power is actually such a thing.

Steel pythons and primordial gods, the primordial extraordinary species, are innately connected with the primordial fire, so they possess divine power, and they will not suffer from divine power like the later gods who use divinity to communicate with the primordial fire and obtain divine power. erosion.

After purifying the chaotic essence, Joshua stayed where he was. He watched the small balls around him rotate around him, and began to meditate: And my divinity has penetrated deep into the depths of the primordial fire, beyond It has surpassed most of the steel pythons, and even most of the gods.

Divinity is the valve that tears the wound and fixes the wound. They endure the pain of the erosion of divinity, that is, to constantly strengthen their belief and will, to tear the wound again and again, to penetrate their divinity into the initial fire, and to gain more divine power. cost.

Although Joshua has divinity, he didn't use divine power to deliberately create wounds, so he was only corroded, not to the point of being destroyed by gods.

And the master of the world of Siberia, the time promoter Fatlolvi, he has the divinity of time and destiny, but he does not become a god to use it. He uses divinity to create wound valves, and uses human souls to create A small dam was built to store energy and water, and to avoid risks while accumulating divine power... But the price of doing so was to kill tens of billions of lives.

In essence, gods, especially the gods at the time of the extinction of gods, are standard memetic creatures, and divinity is the core of memes similar to the essence of chaos.

The goddess of the earth, through the meme of the concept of the earth, obtains the divine power of the earth from the initial fire, the god of forging and fire, through the meme of the concept of forging and flame, obtains the relevant power from the initial fire—so it is said , the essence of gods is just the typical performance of the fourth-level existence pattern of “the self is the cognition”, and they themselves are just a concept, a meme.

Because of this, the father of nature is bound by the meme of nature and elves. Everything is given priority to nature and elves, and even deserted. This is really helpless, because he himself is this concept, how can he violate himself? Thoughts?

And the true gods with relative divinity in later generations, such as Xingzheng, the god of justice and power in the previous generation, constructed a complete cycle of order through two seemingly opposing but unified divine memes—this is equivalent to using The divine power fights against another divine power, automatically maintaining the opening of the valve, and can mobilize the divine power at will when it has a considerable amount of free will.

From the original steel python and the original gods, the original gods who naturally possessed natural divine power, to the subsequent father of nature, the goddess of the earth, the ancient gods who incarnated themselves as concept memes, to the seven gods today, who hold Compared with the divine meme, the true god who builds the cycle of order is the evolution of the gods from generation to generation.

After confirming that 'Malicious Chaos' and evil gods are essentially strange memetic creatures, Joshua can finally confirm through comparison that the essence of divinity and gods is also a similar existence, just relying on Malicious Chaos This eccentric nature of extraordinary power, one that relies on the primordial fire, the source of all things.

Also, even if the gods die, it doesn't necessarily mean death.

Joshua was perfecting the model of the gods in his mind, and he whispered to himself, It's very possible that the divine wound that was enlarged to the limit was pulled into the primordial fire—like The fisherman who was fishing was dragged into the infinite sea of ​​divine power by the too deep divine fishing line.

It's just the will of the individual, how can it possibly compete with the initial fire? This is almost tantamount to death.

After trying to understand this point, Joshua finally figured out some of the authority settings in the Era of Glory.

Gods are memetic beings that go beyond ordinary intelligent creatures, which is why some legends are as powerful as or even surpass gods, but most gods have higher authority than legends.

It's like a giant void beast that is so powerful that it surpasses civilization, but it is still a beast. No matter how strong the legend is, it has not surpassed the essence of its own survival mode... It's just that the existence of God is too unstable and dangerous. So far, no civilization belonging to gods has been accumulated. All gods use divine power in a similar way to ordinary people with great brute force.

Just like at the beginning of the study of magic battle qi, a large number of sages and geniuses died in the process of studying, the current state of gods is such a road full of flaws and deficiencies, it takes a long time, and the demise of countless gods can be achieved in the future. One day in the future, perfect the god practice method without sequelae.

And the original plan of Mycroft civilization's ten thousand worlds and all gods is probably to want all to ascend to the gods, become the first meme civilization in the multiverse, and use the power of the entire civilization to promote the development of the gods, and only when they reach This step can be regarded as surpassing the original life level and becoming a brand new dividing line like the original beast and civilization.

However, has God really surpassed ordinary intelligent life in essence?

In fact, it is not the case.

Regardless of the many flaws and constraints in the realm of gods, powerful beasts can destroy civilization, and powerful humans, that is, legends, can naturally kill gods.

Just like the extremely powerful beasts like the phoenix void behemoth, its existence itself is about to cross the boundary and reach the state of itself is civilization. Its powerful power reverses knowledge and technology, and I am afraid that it will not take long for it to be comparable to a powerful civilization in terms of knowledge and technology reserves.

And the strongest group of legendary powerhouses, like Joshua, must have explored the essence of gods and gods. If they also succeed in crossing the boundary and becoming memetic creatures, they will naturally be the most powerful ones among memetic creatures A group—just like the seven gods often said to Joshua, if Joshua becomes a god, it must be an extremely powerful god.

However, it does not mean that only divine power can do this.

Thinking of this, Joshua's eyes shone with crimson light, and the light of divinity overflowed from the warrior's body, and finally manifested behind him as a pure wheel of divinity, which rotated endlessly—the Φ shape of this cycle The logo is the representative of Joshua, just like the black ring of the old god of power and the bifurcated eyes of the god of wisdom and choice, it is the embodiment of his essence.

Joshua doesn't think that God is the only path to memeization. This is not a guess, but a factual basis.

Just as malicious chaos can create memetic creatures like evil gods, it proves that gods are not the only way to sublimate... Every sage with extraordinary power may have experienced the process of memeization of related extraordinary power.

This also proves that every kind of supernatural power probably has a corresponding memetic method—but divine power is the oldest, most primitive, and longest-studied supernatural power, and there are many ways to become a god. Far more than those latecomers with other extraordinary powers, both in terms of quantity and safety.

Even, the psychic bug is likely to be the result of a super civilization that hastily carried out psychic memetization and ultimately failed.

Although I don't know if it is correct...but the direction for the legendary powerhouse to advance is probably on the path of the corresponding extraordinary power, becoming the 'god' of the corresponding extraordinary power, becoming the corresponding extraordinary power itself.

Then, it is to create a new sage realm of extraordinary power.

Of course, Joshua knew that these were all just his own conjectures. He didn't have any actual evidence to prove, analyze and research, all of which were almost pure fantasy. If he really believed in it, he could only prove his own shallow.

But how do you say that? Bold assumptions, careful verification. To study unknown knowledge, one really needs to be bold.

It seems that there is no way.

So regarding this, the soldier stood in the center of his own world and let out a rather helpless sigh, leading the other silver elves who were sorting out the collapsed crystal obelisk to imitate (repeat) the sigh, Joshua's I secretly thought: I can only try to catch a few more evil gods in the future.

After all, they're the only memetic beings of extraordinary power I've encountered other than gods.
