Chapter 916: The Third Grade of Tao Heart Disintegration

If the environment is really too cold, even your breath will turn white.

However, if the cold continues, the exhaled air will instantly become lumpy, which is what it looks like now.

The temperature of minus 70 degrees is already the limit for life to exist. If it were any lower, it would be difficult to survive. Fortunately, this planet has warm geothermal heat, and the ocean itself has good thermal insulation properties.

Come to think of it, if it were at the bottom of the water, the water temperature might rise to zero, which could even be called hot water.

This is the planet's ice age.

The cold environment has led to the formation of huge ice sheets covering the planet. These ice sheets cover everything from the poles to the equator, indifferently.

The land became cold, the rivers froze, and all weather turned into blizzards, freezing rain, hail, and the rare sunny days did not allow the temperature to exceed minus fifty degrees.

Plants, wildlife, and intelligent civilizations will face never-ending freezing conditions, suffer direct damage from extremely low temperatures, or starve to death due to lack of food.

A huge body is good for keeping warm, but it requires high energy, so only organisms at the top of the food chain or those huge bottom filter feeders have the chance to grow.

However, even the simplest lichens and mosses, or low-level life such as insects, only those most suitable for living in extremely cold areas can survive until now.

They must have had great adaptability and creativity to have any chance of surviving the brutal sieving of the Ice Age, which would have lasted hundreds of millions of years.

Li Qi was still chatting with the parents in front of him. It was just a bit boring daily chat. No, there was no need to chat. As long as he was by his side, the two third-grade people just stayed quietly without doing anything extra. matter.

As parents speak, they are also sharpening their spears.

It was an extremely rare metal weapon.

In this dark and cold world, metal weapons actually do not exist. The hunters here use stone or bone weapons, or simply use their own flesh.

However, the parents seemed to have used their own methods to create a metal weapon.

He was very good at his craftsmanship, and when he sharpened his sword, the blade of his spear made a gentle buzzing sound.

This is the sound of swords.

From the perspective of a mortal refiner, the sword will sound only when the internal structure of the weapon is completely integrated, the stiffness is uniform, the weight of the blade is precise and balanced, the handle is very tightly fitted, the blade is sharp, and the heat treatment metallography is uniform.

If the refiner's methods are not good enough, any cracks, uneven thickness, gaps in fit, and uneven strength will increase the vibration dissipation, making it impossible to sustain the sound of the sword.

This third-grade hand-forged weapon is the best among ordinary soldiers. It is not only sharp, but also represents uniformity, reliability, and stability. On this primitive and backward planet, this is a magic weapon that can be entrusted with life. , no animal skin can block this spear.

This made Li Qi a little confused.

Because although this spear is very excellent, in fact it is just a mortal weapon, and it is actually of no use to the third level. Maybe it will be very comfortable for mortals to use it for hunting, but...is it meaningful?

If you want to integrate into the segment, eat and live together with the mortals, then there is no need to use this special metal weapon, as a bone spear can penetrate this galaxy.

Therefore, Li Qi asked: "Why do you want to make such a weapon that is not in line with the times? If you want to integrate into this world, you don't need to do such an abrupt thing, right? Is there any special significance? My deduction seems not to Sensing something wrong, this weapon should be dispensable to you."

Li Qi deduced the opponent's situation, but found nothing special about the spear.

"I want to do this, that's all." The parent said.

Looking at the other party's appearance, Li Qi nodded thoughtfully: "It's not just a matter of freedom. Your Taoist heart is broken, isn't it?"

Li Qi stared at the other party. This was not the first time he saw a dying person.

Especially for practitioners, the so-called life and death is not just as simple as losing interference and possibility in the world. There are many other ways of death in the world.

Just like the Zhongwei bird in front of him, his Taoist heart has long been dead and he can't get out. Therefore, everything that follows in his life, and even all his time in the future, is just to give him death The heart builds a tomb that is beautiful on the surface but empty in reality.

"Yeah, but I don't regret it. Although I have lost those things, I am still happier now than I have never met before." Zhongweiniao said with a smile.

He continued: "In the previous war, my history was killed. Just when I was about to escape, I almost lost consciousness. When I regained my consciousness, I found that my history Like a dismembered pig in a butcher's shop."

"If I had that kind of backbone, I would stand up and fight back to reduce my possibilities to zero. In this way, even if I can no longer interfere with the future, I can at least hold on to the present, hide in the closed space-time ring, continue to live, and look forward to the future. A day that opens up new possibilities.”

"However... I failed to do it. I chose to give in and did not interfere with the changes they made. It retained the possibility of continuation, but it made my past fragmented and turned into a dream." The Zhongwei Bird said lightly. .

Li Qi nodded slightly.

In fact, he can understand.

The First-Rank War has affected many people. It started within a picosecond of the Big Bang. In all timelines, in all dimensions, in all spaces, in all places accessible to existence, every First-Rank who joins the battle is fighting against others. Yipin fights.

This kind of battle is invisible, there is no such wide range of magical powers, there is only the same cold air as the ice field in front of you.

The ice sheet isn't hurting anything, it's just existing.

Li Qi didn't say much.

He did not continue chatting, but returned to the igloo.

After that, Li Qi joined the family, but he refused all invitations to mate.

No one understood it at first, but Li Qi soon showed his extraordinary hunting ability.

After showing his own value, everyone will be able to tolerate his quirks, so Li Qi still quickly integrated into the family.

He lived in the family like this for about twenty years, getting along with his parents until the family split.

Because there are too many people, everyone's relationships begin to become complicated, and it becomes difficult to catch prey, so they need to live apart.

The authority of the parents was challenged several times, and eventually the family chose to separate and split into three settlements, each going their own separate ways.

Twenty years is just a blink of an eye for the third grade.

Morning fungi don't know Hui Shuo, worms don't know Spring and Autumn.

If it were a mayfly, it saw a pair of humans drinking tea and chatting together, maybe for half an hour? That is also a long time for it. Human beings have spent most of their lives doing only one boring thing.

The same goes for these mortals. Li Qi and the Zhongweiniao just sat across from each other, drank a cup of tea, and chatted a little, but this was already the life of these people.

Li Qi and the medium-sized bird didn't even really start the conversation.

About one hundred and fifty years passed like this.

During the past 150 years, he and his parents traveled to various tribes, living basically the same animal life.

This kind of life is actually surprisingly close to 'nature'.

As Li Qi once knew, the universe will probably not be a dark forest. It will be either brighter or darker. In space, he has always been so fair and selfless, so ruthless, cruel and extreme in no one party, but And maintain that delicate balance.

Genes control these so-called higher organisms. Their bodies and your actions are nothing more than carriers controlled by genes. People are just like large paramecia.

One day one hundred and fifty years later, Li Qi and Zhongweiniao had just finished hunting. They caught a fat insect, a fish larvae, in the crevices of the glacier.

It sounds strange, but it is indeed the larvae of a fish. This kind of fish will lay eggs under the glacier, because there are almost no predators here. When the larvae hatch, they will be fat and can’t eat. They rely entirely on the food in their bodies. The fat survives and then slides along the glacier into the water. After a period of development, other organs will grow and become like a fish.

In the water, the shape of fish is really useful. This is the power of convergent evolution.

However, glaciers can stop other predators, but they cannot stop the local 'aboriginals', who will dig through the glaciers and unearth these delicious fat meats.

They released half of the larvae and moved the other half out to freeze tightly for people in the settlement to take away.

Then, the two of them sat under the glacier, looking up at the sky.

Above the glacier was the sky, emitting a dim light. After the others left, only Li Qi and Zhongweiniao were left on the seabed. Surrounded and overhead are glass-like transparent curtains of glaciers. The water under your feet is blue and clear, and you can still see swaying seaweed.

Many small cobalt blue and gray silver fish are in groups, brightly colored red fish are swimming gracefully, and some fat sea animals are hunting.

Zhongweiniao watched all this silently, seeming to be enjoying the rare beauty.

Li Qi also admired this rare beauty. The glacier was sandwiched between the sky and the ocean. The deep sea water below was mixed with the gorgeous light from the sky. It looked particularly beautiful, more magnificent than the aquarium.

The natural scenery is always so beautiful. Although it is not as gorgeous as the stars, it still has its own flavor.

Then, Li Qi suddenly said: "I am afraid of death because I love my life very much. The most fearful thing for people is to lose the thing they love most. Love and fear go hand in hand. Even the love of your life will eventually be lost, so Fear is everywhere, those who love money are afraid of losing their wealth, those who love others are afraid of being abandoned, those who follow the road are afraid of going astray, and those who love beauty are afraid of filth.”

Li Qi suddenly said something.

However, the medium-sized bird glanced at Li Qi and already understood what Li Qi wanted to say.

But Li Qi did not stop, but continued: "But if you work harder to obtain these things, to make money, to love people, to follow the path, to maintain your appearance, then having more means losing There are more, which will not solve the fear, but will aggravate the evil thoughts.”

Saying this, Li Qi looked towards the distance of the glacier.

Ordinary people think that existences like the third level are omnipotent, invincible, and can do anything.

Just like the ice field in front of us, the frozen world never stops, extending endlessly, extending to the end of the line of sight, disappearing under the distant sky. Mortals can never reach the edge, and the third grade just tiptoes a little, and then Can reach distant places.

But in fact, how can it be so simple?

What Li Qigang just said is actually the situation faced by a small number of third-grade people.

Of course, to say it is a small number is actually just for the microscopic bird in front of me.

If a person can easily regret and start over, then he will easily cherish the present less and less.

Because we don’t want to face loss, we choose to look back, which leads to more loss and more fear.

When you can find the future you want among the infinite possibilities...

The universe is full of infinite possibilities, so do these possibilities make sense?

Every end is a new starting point. An infinite starting point represents an infinite end. Infinite possibilities ultimately lead to everything being meaningless.

Because you have thoughts, you are afraid of losing them, so you live in fear. Once you fall into this cycle, you will become more afraid, and eventually your Tao mind will be in a mess, and even evil thoughts will breed.

It is precisely because of the fear of losing that we should cherish the present even more.

In Li Qi's view, he can't actually go back to the past, nor can he change the future. Only the present, and only by recognizing it, can he reconcile with the past and no longer fear the future.

Can the third grade change the past?

Many third-level people think they can do it, because they can really look back on everything that has happened. As long as no one interferes, they can easily start everything over again.

Then...the problem arises.

Infinite possibilities will traverse all possibilities. No matter how you choose, all results will appear, so your choice actually has no meaning.

One ten thousandth of infinity is still infinite. Divide infinity into infinite parts, and each part is infinite.

In the face of infinity, all choices are meaningless. The moment you choose 'infinite backtracking', the act of backtracking itself directly enters the 'meaningless' stage.

Infinity is not a fixed number, but a trend, a trend that continues to grow and has no limit.

So, either stop this trend, or you have to face unlimited courage.

Li Qi chose to terminate.

He is unwilling to face infinity. He thinks that everything is real. When you look back, you actually kill everything you want and then create a new one.

The devil doesn't care from the beginning, they face infinity calmly.

So...where is the mesobird in front of me?

If he cannot establish a meaningful dialogue with the other party, Li Qike will not be able to find the nest of the microbirds.

It’s the end of the month, please vote.
