Martial Arts Crossover: That night, Huang Rong descended from the sky.

Chapter 490 Is this universe a black hole?

Through his research on Long'er's soul, Li Ping found the location of the "true spirit".

Taoism believes that it is the origin of the spirit and soul, the innate spiritual essence, which resides in the spirit and soul.

The physical body is the shell, the spirit is the consciousness, and the true spirit is the most core and original spark of the spirit, the root of life.

But in Li Ping's view, this thing is like a data compression package, containing all of a person's information.

Therefore, Ryuji can even inherit his swordsmanship talent through reincarnation, and even his "sword eyes" can be inherited.

Just like the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen, she created Heshengdu, who can use hypnosis to transfer her memories into other people's bodies, giving birth to a consciousness and a personality, but this newborn "she" cannot inherit her talents.

Because their brains have been replaced!

But after Long'er was reincarnated, her body and soul were changed, yet she was still able to maintain her swordsmanship talent. Moreover, she was able to maintain it in two consecutive reincarnations. Could it be that talent comes from the true spirit, rather than the brain?

Or, after this information was received by a new soul, its consciousness influenced reality, causing his brain to develop in the original direction?

Li Ping couldn't understand this.

But this is not important.

What Li Ping wants to do now is to shed the devourer characteristic from his body.

In his view, he was different from most people in this world. Others' supernatural powers came from the seeds of the Great Dao bestowed by immortals, while his own stats and skills mostly came from the characteristics of the Devourer.

So he thought of "reincarnation," because only the "true spirit" can be reincarnated, and naturally nothing such as the Great Dao Seed or the Devourer's characteristics are included.

Unfortunately, Long'er's past life memories do not include how she was "reincarnated".

So this thing still needs further research.

Once the mechanism of reincarnation is understood, the characteristics of the Devourer can be stripped away.

By then, you will no longer have a control panel, but you can completely awaken a new supernatural power by plundering the Great Dao Seeds or the Breath of Creation of others.

Although it may not be as strong as it is now, at least I don't have to worry about becoming a monster that devours everything.

Unfortunately, that's not realistic!

I can't possibly reincarnate as a baby right now, can I?

If that's the case, Li Ping is actually quite confident.

But this world will be destroyed soon, so what's the difference between doing this and courting death?

Therefore, his idea was to use the mechanism of reincarnation to strip away the characteristics of the Devourer.

But he got stuck at the very first step. To strip away the Devourer's characteristics, he needed to at least know where those characteristics were.

According to Li Ping's understanding, supernatural powers are the interference of consciousness with reality through the seed of the Great Dao, and therefore should exist in the soul.

Unfortunately, with his current cultivation level, he still cannot sense the existence of the "devourer characteristic" in his soul.

Either this thing is not within his soul, or it transcends his perception. To perceive it, perhaps only after "merging with the Dao" can one achieve this.

Having come full circle, Li Ping sighed and began to attempt to achieve Dao integration.

To attain the Dao, one must sense the seed of the Great Dao within one's body—at least that's how it seems to others!

I probably don't have that kind of thing myself, I only have the characteristics of a devourer.

However, its existence can be perceived through excessive use of its abilities; only by perceiving it can one proceed to the next step.

Then Li Ping began to try. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly felt as if he were in an endless void, looking at the starry sky, feeling unbearably hungry and thirsty.

Devour, devour these stars, devour everything—that's the only thing he wants to do.

That thirst penetrated to the very marrow, as essential as the human need to breathe or eat.

That's instinct!

Li Ping was so frightened that he immediately disconnected the connection.

He suddenly opened his eyes and began to gasp for breath. The indescribable hunger and thirst had not dissipated, making him want to devour everything. Fortunately, he had a strong will and was able to hold on.

But what the hell is this thing?

Could what I just saw be the characteristics of the Devourer?

This perspective—don't tell me the Devourer is actually a black hole?

But doesn't it just devour time?

Black holes don't just devour time —

But that feeling, that feeling was so real.

Black hole!

Li Ping's expression changed several times. Then he flew out of Qingcheng Mountain and found an empty open space.

He began to employ the "Great Triad" and did his best to maintain it.

The world began to tremble, and rivers, rocks, trees, and everything around it began to be swallowed by the black hole formed by the great triad.

At that moment, Li Ping felt a distortion of time and space; it seemed that for the first time, he truly felt the existence of time and space.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Ping dispersed the black hole formed by the "Great Three Harmonies," revealing a large crater on the ground, as if it had been swallowed by an invisible behemoth!

But there is still no way forward.

Is it because this is just a simulation of a black hole, and therefore too small and weak?

"Li Ping—what exactly are you doing?"

Huang Rong had just sensed the change and rushed over to see what Li Ping was doing, but she was completely baffled by his actions.

Li Ping pondered for a moment: "Rong'er, do you think it's possible that our world, our universe, is actually a black hole?"

Huang Rong was stunned for a moment.

Li Ping had told her some basic facts about black holes, but even scientists in Li Ping's world hadn't fully understood them, let alone Li Ping himself.

This was told to Huang Rong by Li Ping, who was barely even a dabbler. Naturally, Huang Rong knew even less about black holes.

She said, "I don't understand. I know less about black holes than you do, so why would you think that?"

Li Ping said, "It's my intuition. I feel that our world is a black hole that has swallowed up a large amount of matter, forming a completely new, miniature universe within it."

"This black hole's various properties acquired their own consciousness and characteristics, becoming a concrete existence, one of which is the Devourer, which directly devours time—"

"So, if I can create a sufficiently realistic black hole, is it possible to escape from it?"

If that's the case, then the possibility of human intervention is high if a universe evolved from a black hole could contain so many novel and movie worlds that I've read!

Even if Huang Rong was very clever, she lacked the relevant knowledge and had no idea how to answer.

She was completely bewildered!

Li Ping looked at Huang Rong: "Rong'er, I want to try again, not in this world—but in the Ruins of Time."

"Without the suppression of mortal martial arts there, I should be able to create a more powerful simulated black hole."

"But going out is easy, coming back in is difficult, unless I achieve Dao, but achieving Dao can't be done in a short time —"

Huang Rong bit her lip: "If you want to try, then go ahead and try. I'll go with you."

She was also extremely curious about the truth of the world!

Li Ping thought for a moment and said, "Then let's give it a try—Yan Wan, take us out."
