Tokyo Juggernaut 2077

Those stupid martial idiots in this world are often able to cultivate to a higher level. On the contrary, it is faster.

After reaching the carbon-based limit, with the influx of spiritual energy, the self is further released, the self increases and the self weakens, and the self is subject to moral discipline. Naturally, it is unwilling to be a beast with only instinct. The two fight against each other and finally reach a balance , this is the [natural end point] of a person's psionic capacity.

The natural end point is the limit of the capacity of psionic energy that a person's main consciousness can naturally control. It is not that the id cannot control the psychic energy. The number of the id is the same, but the part of the id that has instinct but no order, is difficult to be commanded by "I", and cannot be controlled, is actually equivalent to non-existence.

Gu Yu

If you want to fully control your own spiritual energy, you must suppress or eliminate your own self, and the Buddha's state of mind that Gujing has no waves only exists in people's fantasy. It is impossible to eliminate the source of the original self, the carbon-based body.

Human beings cannot be separated from the physical body, so it is impossible to completely eliminate the self—or in the same sentence, human beings cannot become machines.

But if you can't fully control your own spiritual energy, you can't obtain the ability to transform the main thinking body. After all, if the self fluctuates during the transformation and causes damage to the main thinking body, you will definitely die.

However, although man cannot become a machine, he can use a machine.

Thus the [Second Brain] was born. The Second Brain is not another carbon-based brain, but a man-made, perfect main body without consciousness.

The main thinking space of the second brain is completely filled with [artificial consciousness]. This kind of consciousness has a mechanical thinking and can perfectly control spiritual energy. This artificial consciousness filled in is [superego] - moralization The self, the regularized self, and at the same time, the self in the eyes of "others".

The practice of the second field is divided into three stages. The first stage is to use the visualization map to build the second brain, which is called the construction stage; The brain is also "I", which is the stage of resonance; the last stage is to use the second brain as a blueprint and tools to cut off the redundant "growth" on the main thinking body, so that the main thinking body returns to the perfect form of the main thinking body, and re- Getting a new life is the new life stage.

After completing the practice of the second domain and returning to the perfect main body of consciousness, he will obtain the precision of molecular-level psionic manipulation.

Originally, the id and the ego are mixed together in the main body of human beings, regardless of each other, but by observing the thoughts, the position can be adjusted so that the id can be transferred to those "proliferations" that will be excised. In the first stage, it is discarded by means of excision, so that although the body is functioning normally, it will hardly react psychologically. Naturally, there will be no distracting thoughts, and the supernatural can completely control its own spiritual energy.

Only by fully controlling one's own psionic energy and possessing molecular-level psionic manipulation precision can one continue to move forward in the extraordinary realm.

Although the id is just a reflection of biological instincts in consciousness, its elimination will not affect the logic of thinking, that is, the operation of the self. I am still myself, and my thinking will indeed change, but it is just like changing from a child who only recognizes likes and dislikes. For adults who are talking about pros and cons, it's average.

Do you think you are no longer yourself as an adult?

Most people think that this is who they are. It’s perfectly normal for them to change their minds as they grow up, and it’s not normal to even say that they don’t exist. The past me is me, and the present me is also me.

But Yuan Ye didn't think so.

===Chapter 240 [-] Leaping into the "Ocean" ===

Because Yuan Ye has no past.

For Yuan Ye, the past me is not me.

He has neither "growth" nor "childhood". The thinking of an adult is stuffed into a brand new body like this.

From the moment Yuan Ye woke up under this strange starry sky, he ushered in [The End of Childhood].

Are the worlds and memories before time travel real?do not know.

Are the world and memories after time travel real?do not know.

Is even the thought that I doubt it real?

still...

do not know!

— Am I still a real, living person?

Every time after waking up from sleep, Yuan Ye would ask himself this question, but he never got an answer.

The fear of the unknown has been shrouded in the depths of Yuan Ye's consciousness since the beginning of time travel. There are many times he desperately hopes that there is really a certain black hand behind the scenes in this world who is manipulating his life and playing with his soul. , then he would feel more at ease.

In this case, if the spiritual changes produced by other transcendental beings in the process of continuing to advance in the transcendental field are like taking the train of life to the next station, and every time in their past lives they blow at the birthday party The process of extinguishing the fire on a birthday candle makes no difference.

If Yuan Ye wants to move on, there is only one result.

That is 【Death】.

The death of [my present self].

On this point, Yuan Ye is convinced, because at the moment of crossing, he realized that as the "price" for opening his eyes again, the "him in the past" has died, and he can wake up under the strange starry sky. It's just "he is now".

If the price of crossing is the death of the "past self", then the price of continuing to advance in the extraordinary realm is the death of the "present self".

Yuan Ye clearly realized that, as a person without a past, he is not qualified to maintain himself under the "anti-shaping" of psionic energy.

The reason why other transcendent beings can maintain their selves and only produce mental changes similar to "adulthood" is because they have the past as their [self-anchor].

And doubts about himself and the past lead to the absence of this anchor point in Yuan Ye, which is a sequela caused by time travel. If he is a carefree person and doesn't care about this, then naturally there will be no problem. Just be promoted like normal people in this world.

However, Yuan Ye is a delicate person. He said that he was full and overthinking too much, and he just couldn't connect the "past me" with the "present me", so Yuan Ye's The "past self" is equivalent to death, and the death of the past self means that his "self" and "existence" are all maintained by his "present self".

So for Yuan Ye, any mental change is unbearable, if he cannot maintain his absolutely unchanged self, it means his death.

Even if he is successfully promoted, the one who wakes up is just an [other] with the memory of Yuan Ye.

——If you think about it this way, am I the "other" who has the memory of a person named Ning Ye?

——It’s hard to say.

Yuan Ye gave a wry smile, and adjusted his

Valley

The world in front of him has become completely different. Under the influence of cognitive operations, Yuan Ye strengthened his ego, restrained his id, and completely exposed himself to the "outside". conscious interaction.

"Is this [Sea of ​​Prototypes]?" Yuan Ye looked at the fanatical crowd through the mask, and murmured, "It's really spectacular, even if it's just a gathering of more than a hundred people, it's an extremely huge existence."

"It's so huge...it's frightening."

Under the guidance of the music, the people in the field waved the cheering sticks, and the rays of light formed an ocean. The steam on the people's bodies floated up and was sucked away by the exhaust fan. In Yuan Ye's eyes, along with this process, one by one distorted The human faces soared along the heat, gathered together, and gradually formed a huge "monster" above the crowd.

The sea of ​​archetypes, that is, the collective subconscious cluster, is a conscious entity formed under the action of the spiritual energy that is flooding in this world. Since it is a closed space and there are a large number of intellectual beings that constantly produce high-level mental fluctuations, the corresponding intellectual life The sea of ​​archetypes appeared.

If one's own main thinking body is so strong that it is unimaginable, one can even rely on one's own power to reverse the thoughts of others by changing the sea of ​​prototypes. This is also a manifestation of the law that matter in this world determines consciousness.

——Obviously it is a world with extraordinary power, no matter how you look at it, it seems that the heart is better than the world, but it is so materialistic in these details, it is really strange.

Yuan Ye complained in his heart, relaxed his mind in this usual way, and carefully used his own self to touch this sea of ​​archetypes.

According to common sense, although Yuan Ye is now an extraordinary person, his ego is only slightly stronger than ordinary people because of the nourishment of the powerful carbon-based body.

If he really comes into direct contact with this kind of group unconscious cluster that is almost synonymous with chaos, he will undoubtedly be instantly swallowed and assimilated, and then become "sea water" in the sea of ​​archetypes, and he will also usher in a spiritual breakthrough. Death - the kind that can be judged as a vegetative person who has not yet been brain-dead with modern medicine.

——It is necessary to set the activation conditions.

——Let’s first set the activation condition so that the body has a displacement of more than [-] centimeters compared to the current position. For the first experiment, it’s better to be careful.

Yuan Ye talked to himself, using words to strengthen self-suggestion, after setting the conditions, he plunged into the sea of ​​prototypes in front of him.

At the moment when the ego touched the sea of ​​archetypes above the crowd, huge and chaotic thoughts flooded into his consciousness as he expected.

Thousands of "people" spoke together in Yuan Ye's ear, and the sharp whispers flooded him like a tide.

——It really feels like jumping into the sea.

——Although I have only been to the beach once.

——The blue sky, the sunshine, and the endless sea, although the time span in my memory was only two years ago, it seems as if decades have passed.

——I really miss it.

An inexplicable idea jumped out of Yuan Ye's mind, but in an instant, he was engulfed by the "crowd" along with his ego.

As time passed, the humming in Yuan Ye's ears gradually turned into the roar of a giant clock, and the scene in front of him seemed to have turned into a dark forest, leaving only pure black phantoms shaking.

Yuan Ye's brain was like an old machine that hadn't been lubricated, working with difficulty.

After a while, it seemed to be operating to the limit and stuck.

Along with the stagnation of consciousness, "other people's thoughts" filled Yuan Ye's mind, he raised his fluorescent hands and waved them like a madman.

"********!********!" Yuan Ye shouted loudly the name of the band on the stage, which was stitched together in Chinese, Japanese and English, and the voice was so high that it almost covered the speakers. Anyone who looked at it would have no doubt that he was the most ardent fan of the band on stage.

At this moment, the mask on Yuan Ye's face suddenly lit up with a faint blue light.

.

===Chapter 240 Nine Dragon-Shaped Demons===

Accompanied by the light of the blue light, the evil ghost picture sprayed with industrial paint on the wooden mask seemed to come to life, swaying and twisting, and finally "jumped" out of the mask, spun on the spot, rolled up A gust of wind enveloped Yuan Ye.

The "crowd" that drowned Yuan Ye stagnated with some hesitation, circling around Yuan Ye surrounded by evil spirits, as if sensing something.

The hideous face of the evil spirit wandered over Yuan Ye's body, passing through his armpit and circling upwards, wrapping around his neck, roaring at the "crowd" fiercely, exuding a frenzied aura similar to the sea water of these archetypal seas, that seemed The black fire flickered on the dragon's head like a human being, and the rhythm of the music playing in the field was the same.

The "crowd" felt that it was similar to itself, and most of it dispersed, and returned to the sea of ​​prototypes composed of human faces above the crowd, constantly rising and falling with the music.

Only then did Yuan Ye wake up leisurely and regained his normal thinking ability. When he opened his eyes, he saw the layers of gray faces recede, and his body felt light.

——It's so dangerous, I almost lost myself and became a half-dead vegetable.

Yuan Ye breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking with some fear.

Although coming to this underground theater to watch underground idol performances is indeed a temporary idea, it is not aimless. After Yuan Ye had some results in the study of synopsis ideas, he came up with the idea of ​​testing the results in environments that can quickly affect people , the concert is obviously a good place to go.

Due to the smaller scale of the concert in the underground theater, the intensity of the influence is also reduced. After thinking about it, it is an even better place for verification.

But even if it's just a small sea of ​​prototypes, it's still a bit too strong for the current Yuan Ye. If he really goes to a big concert or something, he will be turned into an idiot in an instant.

——Fortunately, I came to this underground theater on a whim today, otherwise I would not have realized this problem.

While thinking, Yuan Ye gently stretched his body.

The evil spirits around Yuan Ye's neck dangled in front of his eyes, sprang out from time to time, biting the audience next to him, but without exception, they flew through the people's bodies like phantoms, I had no choice but to return angrily and continue to circle around him.

This is Yuan Ye's "I am not me".

Yuan Ye felt the dragon-shaped evil spirit that was closely connected with him, and he didn't care about its movements. Anyway, it only exists on the spiritual level, and ordinary people can't see or touch it. Except for the faint blue light that flashed when it appeared There will be any manifestation on the material level, and there will be no impact.

In addition to the conceptual ideas given to him by the Kujo family and the perfect main body structure diagram provided by Ito Taketa, Yuan Ye is also constantly collecting some information related to the second realm from the underground world through his own channels.

Although all major forces are strictly guarding against transcendental knowledge above the second domain, the situation in the underground world is complicated, and it is difficult for anyone to check it out. It is extremely difficult to obtain complete and comprehensive cultivation knowledge, but some corners and corners can still be found , the transformation blueprint of the not-me-me, that's how it came about

It was originally just a technique developed by a practitioner to reduce the mental impact of the resistance of the "life instinct" when the "self" was removed as a "proliferation" at the newborn stage.

This technique is an auxiliary cultivation skill that the seller has figured out by himself. It is not a profound knowledge, nor is it a secret passed down by a big force. The seller is eager to spend money, so he takes it out and hangs it on the trading website of the underground world for some money.

After Yuan Ye bought it, he found that the price of this technology is not high because the method of resisting mental shock is "fully isolated", which is thankless, and the utilization rate of spiritual energy is low, which is far inferior to the current mainstream method.

According to the concept given to him by the Kutiao family, the big forces all adopt the "fixed method", that is, to let the mental impact go, and only maintain their own subjective thinking body without material changes due to spiritual changes-anyway, they have The past self serves as the anchor of the self, and there is no shortage of psychiatrists and self-cultivation techniques in my family. Even if I suffer a mental shock, I can recover. At most, I just need to rest for a while, and there is no need to slow down my cultivation efficiency.

After all, the faster the practice in the new stage of the second realm, the better. The growth of the main thinking body is cut and absorbs its own spiritual energy to produce the inner demon. Although the strength of the inner demon is only determined by the spiritual energy capacity in the first realm, the longer it takes , the more times the inner demon appears, the more times it will break through the dream and come to reality. Even if the intensity can be handled, it will be troublesome if there are too many times.

However, Yuan Ye found that this fully isolated technology can completely protect itself from any influence because of its fully isolated characteristics, which is exactly what Yuan Ye needs.

However, preventing mental shock and dealing with the "anti-shaping" of consciousness by psionic energy are two fields that have similarities but are not the same. Yuan Ye has made some transformations and adaptive adjustments to this technology based on its fully isolated characteristics. , and finally developed this set of mental protection skills tailored for myself-[I am not me].

——No way, other people are not like me, just follow the step-by-step cultivation concept and think about promotion, and you don’t need to do these things.
