Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 468 Cultivation of the Universe—

"By the way, do you know the role of faith?"

The eternal angel spoke of this matter, saying, "For gods, faith is the foundation for their existence; to put it more bluntly, it is the key to ensuring that their consciousness is not extinguished."

Tang San shook his head and put down his teacup: "I'd like to hear the details."

"God himself is immortal, physically immortal, as long as he has enough energy to support his physical activities..." The eternal angel slowly revealed the secret, "However, God's will is not. Therefore, the word 'almost' is added to the description of God's immortality, because God's will is not eternal either."

"In the vast universe, there exist countless realms of gods."

"Most of the divine realms exist in special dimensions, where the flow of time differs from that of other mortal planetary planes. One day in the divine realm is equivalent to one year on a mortal planet, and so it is."

"The reason is simple: if it really went through that long period of time, even God's will couldn't withstand it and would go insane."

"Those beast-like beings who become gods are better off because before they develop intelligence, they don't have much self-thought; everything they do is for survival. After they develop self-thought, if no one teaches them, their habits are not much different from before they developed intelligence. Although their intelligence is no less than that of humans, they don't use their brains to think often. This is why beast-like gods can endure for a longer period of time than human gods."

"Eternity, in fact, is also a curse."

"The creatures of the Eternal Realm may seem foolish to you, but this is the price they must pay for their long lifespan."

"Knowing too much and seeing too much is not a good thing."

Tang San listened silently, unmoved, until the speaker finished speaking, then asked in a low voice, "So, this Eternal Realm has existed for so long, drifting in the vacuum of space for so many years, and yet it has never seen a technologically advanced civilization?"

The Eternal Angel pondered the meaning of the word "technology" and tentatively asked, "Do you mean those worlds that didn't cultivate, but through research, created civilizations capable of spaceships that can travel through the universe?"

"So you've met before," Tang San smiled.

"I have seen them, but whenever we encounter that type of plane, the Eternal and Creator Gods, guided by the will of the universe, keep their distance and avoid contact." As the Eternal Angel spoke, a hint of fear appeared in his eyes, as if he had remembered something. "Those civilizations are violent invaders. Despite their weak bodies and lack of any supernatural power, they can destroy a planetary plane with a single blow using the weapons on their spaceships."

Tang San was silent for a moment, realizing that this universe was dangerous, but then asked, "So, why do you think the will of the Great Universe guided the Throne of Eternity and Creation away from those planes when they encountered them?"

"I don't know." The Eternal Angel shook his head. "However, the Eternal Lord believes that the will of the universe has abandoned those planes, beyond redemption and beyond saving."

The Eternal Angels, the Holy Dragons, and King Easton all firmly believed that a civilization capable of destroying an entire plane of matter with weapons was a destroyer of the universe!

What future is there in this kind of dimension?

There's no cure!

Furthermore, there is their unconditional faith in the Eternal Lord. Even if the Eternal Lord says that those civilizations are garbage, they will still believe it unconditionally.

After another moment of silence, Tang San slowly said, "By the way, have you ever considered that the reason the will of the universe doesn't want you to save those planes is because they don't need saving?"

"After all, from the perspective of the entire universe, the total amount of matter and energy inside is in a constant state, but they can be transformed into each other."

"It is only because the intelligent beings within a civilization do not utilize matter and energy efficiently that they experience shortages and instability. When they develop to a certain stage, they must seek resources externally."

After realizing that the soul is composed of a soul shell and an immortal true spirit, Tang San guessed at the fundamental purpose of cultivation—to understand oneself.

For Tang San at present, improving his essence, energy, and spirit is important, but what is truly important is to enhance his primordial spirit and inscribe all his information into his immortal true spirit.

Perhaps only in that way can one truly realize who they are today!

And based on one's own cultivation and imitation of the universe, does the existence of the entire universe itself also require a cultivation to be recognized?

The universe's means of understanding itself need to be developed and studied by intelligent life on various planets.

Therefore, for those beings that want to destroy planets and eliminate intelligent life, such as demons and the abyss, the will of the universe regards them as diseased cells, or bacteria and viruses. Naturally, "immune cells," that is, beings such as creator gods, are needed to eliminate them.

After the cleansing, the Creator God needs to leave and cannot stay in that plane for too long. Is it because the cosmic consciousness is worried that a powerful force will stay for too long, so that the native intelligent beings of that plane will not plan to develop and will only think about contributing their faith to the Creator God in order to obtain everything they want?

This is absolutely no different from the development of civilization.

The more Tang San thought about it, the closer he felt to the truth. The gods might not know that they set rules like "gods cannot interfere with the human world," but the will and environment of the universe still warned them through certain events, thus passively influencing them to set similar rules.

But it's not a sure thing, since those gods aren't heartless or emotionless, and can't be completely impartial and selfless.

After sharing his guess, Tang San ignored the astonished look on the Eternal Angel's face and continued, "The will of the universe guides the Eternal Angel and the God of Creation to seal the throne to save the plane, but also stipulates that they cannot stay for long, in order to give the plane a peaceful and stable environment for development."

"Those planes without supernatural powers do not need your salvation. Moreover, they are able to use matter to create spaceships to travel through the universe and explore the truth of the universe. At least in terms of the efficiency of the use of matter and energy and the level of understanding, their self-awareness of the will of the universe far surpasses that of us."

"Living beings have will, and so does the universe."

"If we can cultivate, why can't the universe cultivate? Perhaps, the development of civilization is the cultivation of the will of the universe, and He will use His methods to eliminate anything that hinders the development of civilization."

The twelve wings of the eternal angel trembled with excitement, exhilaration, and lingering fear. Even the wings that had been covering his vital parts were now exposed, radiating a silvery-white holy light.

Um--

Perhaps for the eternal angel, this is her true form of purity!
