Chapter 266 Mining: Gathering the Power of All Beings!
……

"Your physical condition seems somewhat abnormal!"

Wu Wen stared sharply at Chen Yun, his tone revealing a hint of certainty.

"So, this is why you brought me here, isn't it?"

Chen Yun nodded slightly and readily admitted, "The Duke of Zhennan indeed has keen insight."

He then told Wu Wen about his physical condition in detail.

Upon hearing this, a hint of curiosity flashed in Wu Wen's eyes.

He stepped forward slowly, gently placed his palm on Chen Yun's head, and began to examine his physical condition.

Chen Yun was initially a little nervous, but he quickly relaxed and let Wu Wen do as he pleased.

A moment later, Wu Wen smiled, as if he had already discovered the secret of Chen Yun's body.

"I see!" he said softly.

Under Wu Wen's examination, Chen Yun's physical condition became clear at a glance.

The reason he died young was that his brain was too developed, which consumed too much energy.

The human brain is an extremely complex and mysterious organ, much like a sophisticated instrument.

It accounts for only about 2% of the total mass of the human body, but consumes as much as 20% to 30% of the total energy.

This is under normal operating conditions.

When you enter a state of deep thinking, your brain is fully engaged, and the information processing of brain cells and neurons, as well as the body's control functions, are greatly enhanced, and energy consumption also skyrockets.

Chen Yun's brain was exceptionally developed compared to that of ordinary people, as if it had broken through some kind of limitation.

His neurons react extremely quickly, and his thinking ability is exceptionally active, which leads to his energy consumption being far beyond that of ordinary people.

However, the energy that the human body can take in and produce is limited.

The brain's high energy consumption means that other parts of the body will receive and utilize less energy.

If this continues for a long time, the body will be in a low-energy-consumption state with a lack of energy, which will naturally lead to various problems and affect lifespan.

Chen Yun's highly developed brain, while granting him powerful computing and thinking abilities, also brought side effects.

The brain has its own protective mechanisms, just as ordinary people forget memories from before the age of three, this is to protect the normal development of the brain.

Because the brain is not fully developed before the age of three, forgetting these memories helps the brain grow healthily.

However, Chen Yun's brain developed abnormally rapidly, maturing and developing much faster than that of ordinary people.

This resulted in some of the brain's protective mechanisms, which should have been triggered, failing to function at all in him.

Therefore, Chen Yun's brain was constantly operating at high speed, without any protective mechanisms to limit it, and the overload caused his body to be overwhelmed.

"This is the real reason why 'the heavens are jealous of talent'!"

At this point, Wu Wen no longer cared about Chen Yun's life or death, but he was very interested in Chen Yun's extraordinary level of brain development.

The so-called level of brain development does not refer to which areas of the brain have not been developed and utilized, but rather to the potential of the brain that has not yet been fully utilized when thinking and operating.

These potentials include optimizing the efficiency, adaptability, plasticity, and functional synergy of existing neural networks.

Chen Yun's brain was highly developed and overworked, which made Wu Wen very eager to learn more about him.

In Wu Wen's previous cultivation.

He improves his computing power and deductive reasoning abilities by learning various divination techniques.

This is equivalent to making improvements at the software level.

Chen Yun's situation was completely different.

It represents an improvement at the hardware level.

Wu Wen had considered improving hardware capabilities by optimizing his brain's neural network, but he never dared to try it easily.

Because the brain has always been a "forbidden zone" for him.

He can apply it and learn it.

But we would never dare to change it easily!
After all, the existence of the brain itself is already extremely profound and mysterious.

Leaving aside other functions, just from the perspective of energy consumption, under the same conditions, what kind of instrument can be designed to be as efficient and energy-efficient as the brain?

This is practically a paradox.

But now it's different.

Chen Yun's situation.

It was as if Wu Wen had been given a point of reference.

Wu Wen stared intently at Chen Yun, his eyes gleaming with fervor.
Although Chen Yun maintained his composure, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

"The root of your problem is actually very simple: your body is too weak."

"As long as the body can be strengthened, the problem will naturally be solved."

Wu Wen spoke slowly, his voice carrying an undeniable authority.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yun couldn't help but sigh: "Improving my physique is easier said than done for me."

My current physical condition is like a candle flame flickering in the wind; even the mildest tonic must be used with extreme caution, lest it be extinguished completely by the slightest mistake.

"Not to mention any other way to strengthen the body, that's just a pipe dream for me."

"So, by coming to me, you're sure I can help you?"

Wu Wen glanced at Chen Yun, his tone tinged with a hint of probing.

Chen Yun replied with a serious expression, "Lord Zhennan, I know you and I know you have some extraordinary abilities."

The plague in Panyu... was actually caused by you, Lord Zhennan!

Before he finished speaking, Wu Wen's expression suddenly changed, and the aura that erupted from his body instantly pressed Chen Yun down into the chair, rendering him unable to move.

"You're really smart!"

"But smart people sometimes die faster, you know?"

Wu Wen's voice was low and dangerous, his eyes flashing with a cold light. Chen Yun, panting heavily, said with difficulty, "Lord Zhennan, could you please put aside your arrogance and let me finish what I have to say?"

Seeing this, Wu Wen withdrew his imposing manner.

Chen Yun felt as if he had been given a new lease on life, panting heavily.

After pausing for a moment, Chen Yun continued, "Although the plague was created by you, Lord Zhennan, its occurrence should only have originated from an accident."

Therefore, the Duke of Zhennan took the initiative to personally treat those infected with the plague.

"Those who were infected with the plague were cured by you, Lord Zhennan, and they all gained extraordinary abilities, as if their talents had been activated, and their bodies were greatly enhanced."

Therefore, I conclude that you, Lord Zhennan, possess a method to enhance your body from your innate physical constitution.

After listening to Chen Yun's reasoning, which almost completely reconstructed the truth, Wu Wen couldn't help but smile and say, "You are indeed very smart; you have guessed almost everything."

He stepped forward, got close to Chen Yun, and said with a hint of amusement in his voice, "But why do you think I would lend a hand to save your life?"
Based on this alone?

As he spoke, Wu Wen took out the scroll that Chen Jing had given him and waved it in front of Chen Yun.

Chen Yun shook his head slightly and said, "The secrets recorded here are just something I wanted to draw your attention to, Lord Zhennan."

What I truly want to tell you, Lord Zhennan, is a secret about 'becoming an immortal'!

As he spoke, a determined look flashed in Chen Yun's eyes.

"With Zhennan Gong's abilities, he must have already embarked on the path of cultivation!"
I also tried this path to survive.

"But just when I was about to succeed, I discovered a hidden danger after becoming an immortal, so I gave up the idea of ​​becoming an immortal."

"If Lord Zhennan can save my life, I will tell you this secret!"

"Oh? Tell me first, let me see this secret you know, is it enough for me to save your life?"

Wu Wen smiled slightly, but a hint of curiosity was revealed in his eyes.

Chen Yun stared intently at Wu Wen, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly said:
"The secret is... after becoming an immortal, one loses the will to comprehend the Dao, and from then on, one's cultivation level cannot improve even slightly!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Wen's expression turned serious. He had long suspected that the method of achieving immortality through the transmission of consciousness had major hidden dangers, so he did not find Chen Yun's words suspicious or strange.

“Not enough!” Wu Wen said coldly.

"What if I said that after becoming an immortal, one would not only not gain freedom, but would also be enslaved forever?"

Chen Yun said calmly, but a hint of determination was revealed in his eyes.

"What do you know?!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Wen's expression became even more serious.

Chen Yun slowly said, "Presumably, when Lord Zhennan went to the Kingdom of Dharani, he must have come into contact with the local Buddhism!"

Wu Wen did not answer, but a hint of wariness was revealed in his eyes.

Chen Yun pointed to the scroll in Wu Wen's hand and continued, "Why do religions flourish, why do they spread, and why do people vie for faith?..."

The reason is that every believer is the foundation for maintaining the existence of a religion and strengthening its foundation.

“Every believer is the religion’s most precious treasure and resource, just like a servant, who can provide the religion with a continuous stream of…faith power.”

"..."

Listening to Chen Yun's description.

Wu Wen suddenly thought of something.

Cryptocurrency mining!

In simple terms, mining is a process of using computing power to solve problems.

The 'mining' mentioned here is an extremely difficult problem that requires massive computing power to slowly overcome.

Mining involves a group of people pooling their wisdom and computing power to work together to overcome this challenge.

The reason for this description is that the process looks just like a miner digging for ore in a real mine.

If we compare an immortal who has uploaded their consciousness to a miner, then...

So, his consciousness ascending to the virtual world 'Immortal Realm' based on an energy field is like a huge 'mine'.

The more immortals there are, the thicker the underlying logic of the immortal realm becomes, and the greater the computing power.

In this way, the 'Immortal Realm' becomes more and more powerful, while those who become immortals become 'miners' who provide computing power for the 'Immortal Realm', forever bound within it and unable to be free.

Based on this conjecture.

Wu Wen's thoughts drifted to the virtual space of the tomb of Zhao Tuo, the King of Nanyue.

Those people were drawn into it through sacrificial rituals, living and reincarnating in the virtual space just like real people.

Aren't they the cornerstones that support the operation of the virtual space?
The more people in the virtual space, the more powerful it becomes.

Furthermore, it has also led to the development of the function of using the "observer effect" to expand space.

In response, Wu Wen made a bold guess:
If the number of people entering is large enough, the amount of computing power and logical support provided will also be greater.

Therefore, this virtual space may even grow into a real little world.

Wu Wen has firsthand experience of the powerful influence and role of the virtual world.

The reason his spiritual practice was able to proceed so quickly was largely due to the inner landscape space he created himself.

However, as his cultivation progressed, the challenges he faced in his cultivation became increasingly profound and complex.

Solving these problems requires increasingly massive amounts of computing power.

Therefore, Wu Wen has always been trying his best to improve his deduction and calculation abilities.

A great man once said, "The wisdom and strength of an individual are ultimately limited, but the wisdom and strength of a group are boundless."

By uniting the power of all beings, we can advance the process of spiritual practice.

So this is the true purpose of religious propagation!
It is not just the transmission of faith, but also the convergence of wisdom and the superposition of computing power.
