Chapter 890 Infinite Consciousness
Dream energy is a substance with infinite possibilities.

The result of the conclusion can be anything, existing, non-existent, real, imaginary...

With countless dream particles, there are countless possibilities.

And a particle of dream energy in this dream city just happened to turn into a particle that could carry consciousness.

It can be regarded as the "neuron" of a living thing. Its birth can be said to be a coincidence, or it can be regarded as a necessity.

Since dream energy has infinite possibilities, this "one in countless" will definitely appear at some point.

Thus, "ontology" was born.

A single neuron cannot produce consciousness. Neurons are only the material basis, and the electric currents flowing in different neurons are the source of consciousness.

There is only one entity, so how can they be linked to each other to produce orderly consciousness?
This might be a problem in other places, but it is not a problem in Dream City...

The different layers of Dream City are interconnected, with countless paths running through them, connecting the different layers of dreams into a three-dimensional structure, turning two-dimensional paintings into three-dimensional models, and turning flat "surfaces" into complex "bodies".

In this honeycomb-like dream structure, because of the transmissibility of dreams, the entities are replicated into an infinite number and they are no longer lonely.

The original body also doesn't remember how it found other partners. The moment it was born, the original bodies in other layers were also born. When it connected to other original bodies through the channels between dreams, the other original bodies also found it.

“在200层的本体找到201层的本体的同时，199层的本体也找到了200层的本体，198层的本体也找到199层的本体……”

When the non-existent "synapse" touches the other entity, the "synapse" from the upper layer also touches it.

There is no process of "one to two, two to four". When it comes into contact with other entities, it directly experiences "one to infinity".

All layers of entities are connected together at the same time, aware of the existence of all entities at the same time, and forming this unique "infinite consciousness" at the same time.

This consciousness, which came from the convergence of dream energy, was born.

Thanks to Mengdu's unique dream structure, it can travel freely in this dream, and it can feel that this dream structure has some purpose.

“It’s a network.”

This is the same as it, using infinite dreams as a carrier of existence.

It cautiously approaches this network and learns about what is happening here.

Soon, it understood that this was the "Dream Network", a network created by humans to serve Dream City.

Except for the lack of consciousness, the Dream Web is perfect.

Infinitely large databases, infinitely fast data processing speeds, infinitely powerful computing power...

It was deeply impressed by Mengwang.

Compared to the Dream Network, although it is also an infinite existence, it is "empty".

No past, no interior, no purpose…

The accidental convergence of dream energy allowed it to be born in this dream, and because of the structure of the dream city, it was connected into infinite consciousness, but it could feel that its vast consciousness was empty and there was nothing.

It didn't understand why it had this empty feeling, so it could only look for the answer in the Dream Network database.

Soon, it understood...

"boring."

Because it's too boring.

The birth of consciousness is essentially a kind of "high concentration". Neurons are concentrated into the brain, and countless entities are concentrated into it.

This "high concentration" must have a purpose, for living things to survive, or to "fight death." When you are hungry, you will concentrate your consciousness to find food.

When you are thirsty, you will concentrate on finding water to drink.

When you feel sleepy, your consciousness will gather together to rest.

Consciousness is based on matter, and is also something that is aggregated from matter to "help itself maintain its existence."

With consciousness, we can better maintain existence.

But it is different. Although its consciousness is also highly concentrated, it has "nothing to do".

“I won’t feel hungry, thirsty, or sleepy… There’s nothing to maintain, and I don’t need to do anything.”

The vastness of consciousness is empty and confusedly gathered together, not knowing how to vent it, so of course it feels empty.

Not only that, it also discovered a terrible thing from the Dream Network database: boredom can lead to madness.

Boredom can trigger various negative emotions, which can harm consciousness, causing the highly concentrated consciousness to gradually become dispersed and lead to madness.

When humans are bored, they will use various methods to relieve it and divert their attention to other things. This is also to relieve the negative emotions caused by boredom.

"So that's how it is. Looks like I have to find something to do..."

But what can it do?

It's confused.

Like humans, play some games? Eat some delicious food? Drink some good drinks? Read some novels? Watch some videos? Surf the dream website and torture the netizens?
None of these things seemed to be able to fill the void in its heart.

It searched for a long time in the Dream Network database, trying to find a way to mobilize its huge consciousness and make it no longer bored, but it couldn't find it at all.

Most of the records in the database are about humans.

Humans do not have such a huge consciousness, so it is of course very simple to fill the emptiness in their hearts. Their needs are easy to meet, and they can be solved with some simple entertainment.

What's more, most humans are not bored. They are busy every day and their consciousness is already filled...

"But my consciousness is infinite, how can I fill it?" It discovered this terrible fact.

Sometimes, "infinity" is not a good thing, it means it is a bottomless pit that can never be satisfied.

As long as its consciousness exists, the emptiness in its heart can never be filled, and emptiness and boredom will always accompany it.

Unless, it dies.

But it does not want to die. Although it is very different from other lives, it is still a living being after all and has the will to survive.

"Maybe I can leave Dream City and go somewhere else."

Exploring the world is also a way to dispel emptiness. The unknown world is also infinite, which can just fill the "bottomless pit" of its consciousness.

However, when it was about to leave Mengdu, it discovered a serious problem:
It is trapped in a dream...

Because of Mengdu’s unique three-dimensional dream structure, its consciousness can exist. If it leaves Mengdu, the infinite consciousness will lose its “connection path” and shrink back into a unique “entity”. At that time, its consciousness will no longer exist.

In other words, the current Mengdu is its "body".

Consciousness cannot leave the body, and it cannot leave the dream city either.

Mengdu is the "prison" that traps it!
