Chapter 408 Transmitting the Golden Immortal Technique, Human Heart Representing Heaven's Will
Haotian Venerable continued, "Next, the Immortal Alliance Central Committee will establish a new Borderland Committee to lead the Frontier Exploration and Development Plan and manage the Golden Immortal Cooperation Organization. The Era of All Heavens Plan will be incorporated into the Frontier Exploration and Development Plan."
"And what do you think about Minghong becoming the chief of the 'New Frontier Committee'?"
If Ye Yang were to be directly declared the new leader of the civilization, the transition would be too abrupt and would make many people uncomfortable.
However, by establishing a new institution and transferring the most important real power to it one by one, this new institution gradually becomes the new central hub of the entire governance system.
Haotian Venerable then went on to explain his thoughts in detail.
The "frontier exploration and development plan" he mentioned includes both the management of the myriad realms and the Immortal Alliance's plans to expand in the main universe.
The "Golden Immortal Cooperation Organization" will encompass all the highest combat power of the Immortal Alliance and all Golden Immortals, and will undoubtedly be the future Supreme Council!
"Okay, let's do it this way."
Ye Yang nodded and smiled, "As a member of the Immortal Alliance, we are all on the same side. Now I will share with you all the methods I have comprehended for attaining the Golden Immortal realm."
"As for those outside the system, such as the Celestial Venerable of Light, we will discuss how to cooperate with them later."
Ye Yang immediately began to teach the four Celestial Venerables his method of entrusting the black hole horizon.
After Ye Yang appeared a thousand years ago, his terrifying dominance in terms of fortune and destiny—and the Golden Immortal advancement method he presented today—led these four elders who had led the Immortal Alliance for millions of years to decide to hand over the reins of the Star Immortal Alliance.
However, they did not simply hand everything over to Ye Yang, but chose a smooth transition, which shows their sincerity.
If they simply abandon the project and hand over this large ship, which is sailing in the dangerous starry sky, to Ye Yang, that would be an act of malice.
"Previously, we always thought that everything ceased to exist after falling into the event horizon of a black hole, the causal chain was broken, and everything came to a complete standstill. We never expected that because of this mechanism, matter and information could continue to move and interact within the event horizon on the surface of the black hole."
"However, this is the interaction of information, detached from actual matter, essentially forming a virtual information world on the surface of a black hole?"
"That's not a good way to put it."
After listening to Ye Yang finish explaining, the four Celestial Venerables had basically digested and understood most of it.
While praising Ye Yang's ingenious ideas, they also discussed some questions about the event horizon of a black hole.
"Minghong, you've become a Golden Immortal. What are your thoughts now?"
The Savior of Suffering couldn't help but ask.
After considering for a moment, Ye Yang said, "This is a complicated issue."
"The reason we believe that information and mass separate after passing through the event horizon of a black hole is because of the current spacetime model inside the event horizon of a black hole."
"According to this model, all the mass of a black hole is concentrated in the ring singularity, while the information remains at the outer event horizon, which is why it is said that the two are separated."
"Because we currently lack the ability to verify this premise, and it is unfalsifiable, discussing it is actually not very meaningful. The key lies in our own perspective and viewpoint."
"On a philosophical level—are matter and information different things, or are they essentially the same thing?"
"It's often said that matter carries information, but doesn't information also define matter? Information is a kind of distinction," a kind of 'limitation,' defining a result from infinite possibilities, distinguishing one state from another."
"I don't know if information can exist freely without any carrier, but it is clear that matter cannot exist without information."
"The very existence of matter—its 'having' and 'not having,' its 'being' and 'not being,' its 'being this' and 'not being this'—inherently carries information; therefore, matter cannot exist without information."
"Without information, even the concepts of 'existence' and 'non-existence' cease to exist, and the most important concept of matter is existence."
The Supreme Celestial Venerable looked at Ye Yang: "So your view is that everything is information, and everything is an illusion?"
"Hehe." Ye Yang shook his head: "I dare not draw a conclusion, and I never will."
"Human abilities are limited; our thinking and imagination are constrained. We can only understand what we can perceive."
"So I follow pragmatism: something looks like an apple, feels like an apple, tastes like an apple, has the chemical composition, life structure, energy, and quality of an apple."
"Then why isn't it an apple?"
"Just like the theory of thought algorithms—I know that most people in the Immortal Alliance do not accept the basic assumptions of this theory, and firmly believe that real, living people absolutely possess true wisdom and spirituality that ascended beings cannot match in terms of the information uploaded by consciousness."
""
"I also feel that the theory of thought algorithms has many limitations; it cannot describe all the mysteries of wisdom and consciousness as it claims."
"But it's so useful! And it can be continuously improved and perfected, even becoming an important tool for my research on consciousness, will, and thought. So I've been using it and constantly refining this theory."
"If we use mortal-level thought extraction technology to extract the thoughts and personality of mortals and transform them into information ascendants, then I can acknowledge that this mortal has transformed into a completely new life form."
"Using mortal-level thought extraction technology to extract information from a Nascent Soul cultivator? Then I won't accept that the new information ascendant is the original Nascent Soul cultivator, because it's incomplete and the granularity doesn't match!"
"Similarly—after entrusting a portion of the Great Dao, my soul, and my consciousness to the event horizon of the black hole, I did not experience the transformation I did not want."
"My senses have been expanded, my mind has been liberated, and my consciousness and will have been sublimated a hundredfold by the blessing of the energy layer domain! And these are all things I want. I am certain that I want to become like this, without distorting my original intention."
"I have three clones, and the other two clones can clearly sense this. So, in my personal opinion, even if the situation of the black hole event horizon is somewhat like a virtual world, the me residing in it is the real me. This transformation is a good transformation, the transformation I want."
After stating his opinion, Ye Yang added, "There's another point worth noting: unlike extracting and uploading thoughts and consciousness, the information entrusted to the event horizon of a black hole is unreadable and uncopyable on its surface."
"The expansion of the Golden Immortal Black Hole requires the absorption of matter refined by the Energy Layer Domain. This process involves refining one part, absorbing half, and spitting out the other half. The half of refined matter that is spat out interacts and intertwines with the half that was absorbed, forming an important foundation for maintaining the existence of the Energy Layer Domain."
"The parameter exceeding the limit that I mentioned before" refers to the fact that only this half of the substance could achieve this, and what constitutes my Golden Immortal body is that half of the substance.
"I could say I'm simultaneously on top of and outside the black hole. Does that mean I exist both in a virtual world and in reality at the same time?"
Ye Yang was only a beginner in the path of the Golden Immortal.
He discussed, answered questions, and debated with the four celestial beings, and gained a lot from the experience.
"Been taught a lesson."
The four Celestial Venerables all smiled and bowed to Ye Yang.
Ye Yang nodded and said, "If you have any questions, you can ask my mycelium mainframe in the Milky Way. I'm going to take down the last two level-nine worlds that I've been unable to conquer for so long."
At the same time, it's also a chance to experience the power of a Golden Immortal's full-force attack.
The World of Sages and Saints.
This is a special world where people's hearts represent the heart of Heaven, and people's will is Heaven's will!
Of course, "people" here does not refer to the human race in the narrow sense, but to all life forms with advanced intelligence!
For example, the human race, the demon race, the ancient demon, the ghost, and the spirit race.
Back then—the human and demon races stood at the pinnacle of this world. Two tigers cannot share one mountain, so they decided to settle the score.
The result was that a great traitor emerged within the human race, causing the human sage "Bai Zi" to perish, and the human battle lines collapsed. It took tens of thousands of years to stop the collapse, but by then it was too late to reverse the situation.
A quarter of the human race's territory has been occupied by the demon race, becoming their new paradise, while another quarter of the land is engulfed in war, constantly harassed and destroyed by the demon race, making it impossible to resume production.
Humanity survived for six million years with the last half of its core territory, but finally reached its most dangerous moment!
With only one-tenth of its former territory remaining, the human race is under fierce attack from the demon race, which has three times the strength of its own race. If nothing unexpected happens, the human race will surely be completely defeated within 30 years!
Just then, a genius scholar suddenly appeared.
He was a descendant of the sage Bai Zi, but from a lowly branch. He lost his parents at a young age, his family's shop was seized by his clansmen, and he was abused and exploited by his adoptive parents.
But he rose rapidly, writing many poems with amazing talent that resonated with hundreds of millions of people. He was blessed with good fortune, popular support, and divine intervention!
He became one of the few prodigies of the human race in this era.
Then—he died.
"Ah, that's how it is. In order to harvest more Destiny Points, this kid accidentally killed the main character of the story, causing the plot to completely collapse. We have no choice but to quickly evacuate most of the humans from this world."
Outside the World Passage of the Sage Bai Zi.
The lineage master of the Xuanhuang Yiming Dao lineage, a senior True Lord, looked helplessly at the True Immortal disciple beside him and said.
That True Immortal is the dungeon master of this ninth-level world, the one who kills the protagonist of this world's storyline.
On the other side, a True Monarch from the Xuanhuang Yiming Dao lineage said, "Now that place is almost entirely dominated by demonic beasts. Even when more than a dozen True Monarchs joined forces to try to break in, we were still fiercely counterattacked and couldn't even establish an advance base."
Ye Yang nodded, his gaze lingering on the instance master for a moment.
"He actually managed to kill off the main character; he's quite the character."
Ye Yang recalled that back then, he—well, after Luo Feng possessed the Golden Horned Beast, he was very difficult to kill.
Unless Ye Yang follows the villain route like this True Immortal disciple, specifically stealing the protagonist's opportunities, his underlings, and his women, and then ruthlessly tormenting the adorable protagonist—
"Tsk, will we be ganged up on by a group of demon lords as soon as we go in? And there's even a demon god with a cultivation level equivalent to a celestial lord guarding the place?"
Ye Yang, on the contrary, was somewhat expectant, and stepped into the world passage behind the Gate of All Heavens.
With the body of a Golden Immortal and the support of the Black Hole Energy Layer Domain, all parameters are higher than those limited by the main world.
In the main world, these limit-breaking parameters cannot be manifested at all; however, once one enters a world where the underlying laws are not so rigorous and mysterious—
boom!
As Ye Yang entered this new world, he immediately felt his own power begin to expand infinitely.
Just like a balloon that expands and grows larger when it moves from a high-pressure area to a low-pressure area.
Many of the underlying rules that bound him no longer existed at this moment!
However, this is not a good thing either, as balloons that inflate too much can burst!
Fortunately, the Golden Immortal Body and the Vision-Energy Layer Law Domain system constructed by Ye Yang possess self-stabilizing capabilities.
He also took the initiative to adjust, and quickly stopped his own power from expanding and stabilized it.
"In this world, there are some things—"
Ye Yang was filled with wonder and curiosity about everything around him.
Within his body, the power of the energy layer domain permeates, maintaining the law system of the main world.
Outside his body, however, lies a complete system of laws belonging to the "world of sages and saints"!
In this world, power comes from the will of Heaven, but even more so from the will of man!
Even if you are a sickly and weak creature, as long as countless intelligent beings like you, love you, or worship you,
Reverence for you—then you can instantly gain immense power from the divine will that transforms human will!
Similarly, even if a peerless expert can rival a demon lord, if hundreds of millions of intelligent beings hate him, curse him, and wish him dead, he will soon be plagued by serious illnesses and lose one-tenth of his power.
Therefore, ethnic conflicts are ultimately a contest of comprehensive strength in many aspects, such as resources, territory, population, culture, and education.
In the beginning, humankind rose to prominence among all races due to its rapid reproduction, strong learning ability, and ancient cultural heritage.
The demon race is known for its diversity.
Individuals who reproduce quickly can provide less "human will," while those with naturally strong and abundant intelligence can provide a great deal of "human will," but reproduction is more difficult for them.
The demon race possesses both characteristics, coexisting and complementing each other, quickly becoming a powerful race.
In the ancient competition, the human and demon races ultimately prevailed, leading to a final battle between the two powers.
"Is everything based on human will, and does human will interfere with divine will, and does divine will govern all things?"
Ye Yang couldn't help but smile, reaching out as if to trace something: "If this is what they call 'human will,' then it seems rather ridiculous."
"The Xuanhuang Yiming Dao lineage chose the wrong team to develop this world. It should have been cultivators from the Divine Soul lineage and the True Spirit faction!"
Boom~~
Dark clouds gathered in the sky, transforming into a rugged face—a powerful demon race member resembling a giant elephant.
He stared indifferently at the tiny "humans" below, who were only a few dozen meters tall.
"Human? Another one sent to their death?"
It spoke coldly in the common language of the demon race in this world, and without hesitation invoked the might of heaven, unleashing endless calamities.
Even the Tai Su battle bodies of True Lords would be prone to accidents in the face of this strange and calamistic power of heaven. The accidental decay of a single particle could cause the entire battle body to collapse!
Ye Yang also sensed this —
"Unfortunately, it's completely isolated by my energy layer domain, only affecting the outermost layer of my body. And for my transcendent physique, it's utterly ineffective!"
Ye Yang shook his head, his gaze becoming profound.
His terrifying will surged forth from within him, overwhelming everything around him!
Tens of millions of miles, billions of miles, tens of billions of miles —
Within a radius of one trillion kilometers, the "aura of heaven and earth" dissipated, and everything was imbued with Ye Yang's aura.
Ye Yang's will directly forced back the will of Heaven within a range of one trillion kilometers, directly dominating it with his powerful will!
This is already another realm, namely the sacred realm of this world, so as to achieve "my heart represents the heart of Heaven".
But those saints and demons can only control an area of billions of kilometers.
"This world is quite interesting; it needs a good cleaning."
The human voice, carrying boundless pressure, appeared within a radius of trillions of kilometers, instantly shocking and terrifying countless demon races living freely between heaven and earth.
