Chapter 998 The Disappearance of "Wang Chuan"

Wang Chuan immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Is the other party dead?"

The abyss is so dangerous that this is indeed possible, but why didn't the other party transfer his consciousness to other clones before he died?
In a sense, these different "Wang Chuans" have actually achieved "immortality". Those ubiquitous clones are like the life boxes of liches. They can transfer their "souls" anytime and anywhere and change their mortal situations.

With such abilities, why would it disappear completely?
Wang Chuan was full of doubts about this, and he immediately began to investigate.

Soon, he found the reason.

But this reason sounds a little ridiculous.

This has to do with Wang Chuan's personality.

Because no matter which world Wang Chuan is from, he is very enthusiastic. When Wang Chuan from other worlds needs help, they will selflessly share their consciousness and memory to fill their clones.

A complete Wang Chuan can create many weakened Wang Chuans, but if they want to ensure the quality of the clones, they have to invest more resources, which can only be borrowed from other Wang Chuans.

If their selves in other worlds needed help, the Wang Chuans were happy to help. Moreover, the parallel world where the Wang Chuans of most worlds lived had been destroyed, and they themselves had no more thoughts, so they lent their entire consciousness and memory without any concern.

As they borrowed more, the weight of these Wang Chuans became lower and lower, and they gradually became as weak as their clones. In the entire Wang Chuan network, they were equal. The clones could be used as cannon fodder, and they could also be used as cannon fodder. In borrowing again and again, they gradually lost their "self".

Having been cut and reassembled countless times, some Wang Chuans were "empty", leaving only an unconscious flying sword; some were reassembled to the point of losing their original memories, and could not figure out which world they came from, and only remembered that their name was "Wang Chuan".

Their souls were divided into many parts and then squeezed together. Countless fragments formed chaotic individuals. Some people disappeared, and disappeared silently.

The missing "Wang Chuan" disappeared just like that.

After borrowing and borrowing, in the end you have nothing left.

After Wang Chuan understood this, he immediately realized that this was not going to work, and quickly notified other Wang Chuans, asking them not to do so.

However, it was too late. Most of the Wang Chuans had already turned into "fused souls". Their consciousness was more or less mixed with the memories of other Wang Chuans. Some of them had even fallen into complete confusion and began to think all day long about where they came from.

There are also some Wang Chuans who are lost in the self-debate about consciousness and individuality.

"I am the complete me. If I split off a clone, I am no longer the complete me. Then am I still myself?"

"Is that clone also me? If I use him as cannon fodder, is that the same as me being cannon fodder? Although he can return to himself in the end, isn't it the same for me to go or him to go? Why did I create him? If I didn't separate him from me at the beginning, wouldn't the result be the same?"

"You are Wang Chuan, and I am also Wang Chuan. You gave him half of me, and I gave him half of me, and finally we formed a new Wang Chuan, and that Wang Chuan was a new individual. In the end, you returned half to me, and half to you, but this half is no longer the half we lent out. Am I still me, and are you still you?"

"Do we count as having killed the new Wang Chuan? From our perspective, he is just an avatar. Although the avatar cannot die, we ultimately made his existence disappear. All of his consciousness and existence were taken away by us. We are the culprits."

"Have we ever achieved eternal life? Are we really immortal? If one day I am completely borrowed away, and then one day later I am completely returned, then am I completely dead before that? It's like a human cell being split into countless pieces, loaned out to others, and then borrowed back from others to form a new self that is completely different from the previous self. Is this self still the new self?"

"Is it necessary for us to be divided into countless individuals? In fact, every Wang Chuan has long been connected with the help of flying swords. Why do we still care about the independence of consciousness? Wouldn't it be better if we just integrate our consciousness together, and then solve our respective problems step by step and focus on one thing?" "But this will cause other conflicts... Which thing is the most important? Yours? Or mine? Or his? When the independence of consciousness disappears and we become one, do we have to use 'weight' to measure the importance of what we should do? Why should my world be more important than your world? From different perspectives, we will get different answers."

"It seems like we shouldn't be in touch."

"It seems that we won't survive until now if we don't contact us."

“We enjoy the convenience of this capability.”

"I am worried about the troubles caused by this ability again."

“We need both unity and independence.”

“But these entanglements seem to have existed from the beginning to the end. As human beings, we cannot figure out the consequences of this deviation between consciousness and individuality, and can only sink into endless speculation.”

"This is accidental, but also inevitable."

……

After possessing powerful abilities that transcend humans, many Wang Chuans became confused. Some of them felt that they were no longer human, while others felt that they were still human but had gained something that ordinary people did not have.

The more confused the consciousness and memory are, the more frequent this kind of speculation becomes. They are like different molecular clusters poured into water, intermingling, mixing, reacting, and then producing new molecules, which in turn react with other molecules, and the cycle repeats over and over again, until only some inert substances that can no longer react are left...

They are essentially the same person, but the countless souls of the same person mixed together still make them confused.

As an individual who still retained his sanity, Wang Chuan, after struggling for a while, made up his mind and used the relic that could isolate his perception to cut off the connection with other "Wang Chuans".

He didn't want to follow in the footsteps of those "Wang Chuans" again. He didn't want to be soft-hearted one day and lend his consciousness to others, only to find that he was no longer himself when he returned it.

He limited his "immortality" ability to his original body and the clones he created, reducing the number of times he used his ability as much as possible, and became an independent individual "isolated from the world"...

"I guess the reason why so many of Wang Chuan's worlds have perished but they are still alive is closely related to this relic."

"It seems... it's helping us survive and guiding us to merge. Thinking back to my experience of coming to the sixth floor of the Abyss, I found that it was a bit too smooth. It seems that there are coincidences everywhere."

"It was the same when I found the other Wang Chuans. I suddenly discovered another world and met him suddenly. It was as if it had been planned all along..."

At this point, Wang Chuan suddenly looked at Xiao Bai seriously and asked:

"Your master is most likely one of us. He also entered the abyss, right?"

"When he was exploring the abyss, everything went very smoothly, right?"

"Do you know the relic he carried? Is it... also a sword?"
