Chapter 386 Strengthening the Foundation of the True Self
Ye Yang nodded: "I had this feeling when I came into contact with the theory of thinking algorithms, so I deduced and summarized five levels: (True) (Complete) Dao, Logic, Great Dao, Law, and Phenomenon."
"Logical? That's a fitting description," Luo Yunru said. "The Federal Pioneers called it a set of mathematical principles."
"Human mathematical systems were created to adapt to natural changes and natural laws; they are a subset of the mathematical laws of nature."
"Theoretically, by discovering new sets and learning backwards, the mathematical sets mastered by humans can increasingly approach the complete set of nature."
"But even natural sets have their boundaries. There are other natural sets outside of one natural set—life born under that mathematical system possesses mathematical knowledge that we humans cannot recognize or understand."
"Just as a person born blind never knows the splendor of the world, there is a natural chasm between us."
"We simply cannot understand what those beings who control the mathematics beyond the set have done, and therefore cannot counter them. In fact, most of our responses have been wrong! Unbeknownst to us, everything about the multi-human federation civilization has been usurped."
Luo Yunru's tone was filled with deep apprehension.
Those mathematical weapons, which are beyond human comprehension, cannot be directly touched even in memory; one can only describe their indirect effects and leave behind lessons learned.
Even with this experience, it's impossible to cope with these setbacks.
To humans, it is an illogical and insane phenomenon that cannot be reasoned out using basic logic!
Induction, deduction, comparison, analogy, and reverse reasoning—all the logical tools that humans possess are useless in explaining that kind of phenomenon.
Some say that it's something only a madman could understand.
Luo Yunru said solemnly, "In short, before we explore the boundaries of unknown logic, and before the Immortal Alliance's civilization surpasses that of the Multiverse Human Federation, we absolutely cannot cross that line!"
"I understand." Ye Yang nodded, then asked, "What if someone from the Immortal Alliance accidentally came into contact with those beings? After all, no one can say for sure; didn't the Multiverse Human Federation fall victim to this back then?"
Luo Yunru remained silent for a while before shaking her head and sighing, "We'll do what we can to help. We can only do our best to help the Federation's legacy to rise rapidly and control the direction of the Immortal Alliance's civilization."
Ye Yang left this level-eight world, taking half of the Federation's legacy with him. As for the inherited knowledge, he had already copied it.
Although weakly bounded materials are still far from being truly empty, they have already exhibited some incredibly strange properties.
For example, its virtually limitless information carrying capacity —
Completely destroying a world does not mean ravaging it to the point of utter devastation like in Bolin's alternate world; that would merely be a means of extracting resources from a world.
True destruction means annihilating the world's legal system, collapsing the world's structure, eliminating spacetime and matter, eliminating cause and effect, eliminating all information, and entering a state of complete nothingness!
Of course, even if the Multi-Human Federation could achieve this, it would be meaningless, because a completely destroyed world would be completely empty, which is equivalent to disappearing and having no meaning.
"They have nearly destroyed a world, and what remains is the weak foundation, which can then be used to create weak foundation materials."
One world can produce 1 unit of weak foundation material, and the resources required for this process would require squeezing the resources out of 10,000 worlds of the same level!
Whether it's a Level 1 world or an infinite number of Level 10 worlds, the output is always 1 unit. Therefore, by destroying tens of thousands of low-level worlds, the Federation obtained a large amount of weak-level foundation materials.
In theory, weakly bounded materials have an unlimited capacity to carry information.
However, in order to store and retrieve information, it is necessary to use the "omnidirectional domain" technology for programming, but the omnidirectional domain has a limit to the information density it can carry.
Fortunately, the total amount of weak boundary foundation material used for the three thousand inheritance stone tablets is only one-thousandth of the total. Dividing them into three thousand parts is only for the convenience of regional management.
Ye Yang directly took a piece of weak boundary material and incorporated it into the Federation's standard omnidirectional domain, thus replicating the entire inheritance library and boundary network service.
Ye Yang is currently controlling a secondary network root server.
The World-Based Network possesses characteristics similar to the projection of the Gates of Heaven; once bound, consciousness can connect regardless of which world it is in.
Under normal circumstances, Ye Yang would definitely use the more convenient Level 1 network to access the Three Thousand Inheritance Database partitions.
However, the primary network root server was not in his hands, so when the primary network was shut down for Ye Yang, he would activate the backup he had on hand.
"With the weak-dimensional base material and the omnidirectional law domain technology, I can even establish an organization that spans multiple worlds—a paradise of multiple worlds? An infinite space? It just lacks the ability to explore, acquire new worlds, and travel between worlds."
Ye Yang smiled.
"Let's reforge the Three Lives Pearl using the Omnidirectional Domain Technology now."
By incorporating more weak-dimensional base materials into the Three Lives Pearl, the strength of the Omnidirectional Domain can be enhanced, allowing it to better maintain its existence within the otherworldly law system.
However, using the Omnidirectional Domain is not without its costs; otherwise, the Firebringer wouldn't have exhausted his power.
The power consumed by the Omnidirectional Dharma Domain is the true self and information potential energy!
Cultivation that seeks emptiness within falsehood will damage the very foundation of one's true self. Using the Omnidirectional Domain to resist powerful otherworldly laws will also cause damage!
The rate of attrition varies depending on the world level and the effectiveness of the evasion methods used.
The other thing consumed by the Universal Domain of Laws, the potential energy of information, can also be called the potential energy of destiny's return to normalcy, which is the abstract destiny points of the Gate of All Heavens.
However, the most fundamental thing is the strength of the true self!
However, within the Immortal Alliance, there is basically no concept of this kind of cultivation. Only a very few niche methods have the effect of strengthening the foundation of one's true self.
For example, the True Meaning Martial Arts cultivation path created by True Immortal Jianwo and True Immortal Zhushan was inspired by True Immortal Jianwo's accidental experience of the wondrous state of being utterly helpless at the moment of death through the [Gate of All Heavens]. Only through tireless effort and continuous experimentation was he able to barely forge this path!
Now that Ye Yang has acquired this inherited knowledge, he has undoubtedly continued on the path ahead.
At least on the path of spiritual practice that strengthens the true self, the prospects are very clear.
After refining the Three Lives Pearl, Ye Yang devoted himself to cultivating the foundation of his true self.
He entered a low-level instance, keeping the world portal open and maintaining a connection with his clone and constellations in the main world.
"Enter the first chapter of the first volume of the Record of True Nature Condensation and Divine Awakening into the Universal Realm of Dharma."
Ye Yang gave the order, and immediately the cube device in front of him, made of 1 unit of weak boundary material, spread its omnidirectional domain.
Countless profound laws then arose within it, as if a new world had been created—only this new world was very primitive and fragile, but it still caught Ye Yang's eye.
"This is practically a perfect Dao Evolution Diagram at the True Immortal level, isn't it? It can evolve into a law system that supports a low-level world at its core!"
Before Ye Yang's eyes, the laws within the omnidirectional domain continuously evolved, eventually forming two celestial bodies, one yin and one yang.
The yin-type celestial bodies exude endless coldness, as if to freeze one's soul.
The celestial bodies, which belong to the Yang element, emit endless light and heat radiation, seemingly determined to scorch people until their souls are scattered.
Two planets, one yin and one yang, began to revolve around Ye Yang, and the power of nothingness acted on his soul and consciousness.
"Icy cold and warm, scorching heat and coolness, wounds and healing alternate—it's excruciating, it's practically torture," Ye Yang clicked his tongue.
With his strong Dao heart and will even at the True Lord realm, he was naturally not afraid of this pain.
Even with the endurance of a True Immortal, such torment would surely make one wish for death.
"However—it's not as simple as just torture."
"A peculiar power has permeated my soul. This should be the essence of the cultivation method for strengthening the true self, but it has no effect on me now."
Ye Yang understood that this method had already minimized the cultivator's suffering without affecting the cultivation effect, which showed that suffering and torment were not necessary conditions for strengthening the true self.
"This 'True Nature Condensation and Divine Awakening Record' is the most effective method for strengthening the foundation of the true self. However, the cultivation process is extremely luxurious, requiring the use of weak realm foundation materials and omnidirectional Dharma domains. These are precious resources that are difficult for ordinary cultivators in the Multiverse Human Federation to obtain."
"Ordinary cultivators who want to strengthen their true self don't have such favorable conditions to help them; they can only rely on their own cultivation—"
Ye Yang switched to Chapter 2 of Volume 1 of "The Record of True Nature Condensing Truth and Enlightening the Spirit".
The pain intensified slightly, but it was still nothing serious.
Chapters Three and Four —
With a solid foundation, Ye Yang quickly and rapidly progressed through the cultivation process, reaching the final chapter of the first volume.
At this point, even a peak Star Lord would find it very difficult to cultivate their Dao Heart.
But for Ye Yang, it was still like a gentle breeze.
Recalling the feeling of his consciousness being reclaimed by the [Gate of All Heavens] after he died devouring the world—Ye Yang, utilizing his rich experience, quickly entered a profound and ethereal state—
Once the "I see, my true self is fully developed," can I look inward and enter a completely new state of mind?
While maintaining that state, Ye Yang tried to open his eyes.
If his true self was originally a tall, thin guy, then now he's gained some muscle.
This change made him realize the possibility of seeking answers within himself.
The Immortal Alliance's theory of immortality, on the whole, emphasizes seeking externally rather than internally. In contrast, the cultivation method primarily uses the illusory to cultivate, seeking internally to attain one's true self.
Ye Yang vaguely felt that his thinking had become more active, and that his consciousness and will had undergone some changes, but they were not obvious yet.
"continue."
He began practicing the second volume of "The Record of Condensing True Nature and Awakening the Spirit".
This low-level instance world, despite having a world portal open, has a time flow rate 10 times that of the main world.
In particular, this is a dungeon world specifically designed to accelerate deduction, with the world portal anchored at the edge of the galactic spacetime field, 9 times faster than galactic standard time.
The total flow rate reached 90 times, nearly 100 million times that of the White Cave observation deck!
Ye Yang spent 3 years cultivating the first volume of "The Record of Condensing True Nature and Awakening the Spirit".
The second volume has 18 chapters, and the difficulty level from the beginning matches the Dao Heart of a True Monarch. It took Ye Yang 23 years to cultivate the first 9 chapters.
Chapter 10 — The disruption caused made it impossible for Ye Yang to concentrate on his studies.
After cultivating for a long time, he felt that his will and consciousness had exceeded a certain limit, and he immediately felt much more relaxed.
"After 6 years, I have finally finished cultivating the tenth chapter."
Ye Yang rested for a while and then continued his cultivation of Chapter 11.
During this period, based on the changes in his state when his consciousness and will broke through the limits of progress, he deduced and perfected the theory of thinking algorithm to the advanced True Monarch level.
At this point, Ye Yang has gradually caught up with the "Transcendent" on this path.
With the accumulated experience of countless years of development of countless worlds by the Federation of Diverse Humans, and the wisdom of countless talents, Ye Yang's professional background makes it not an exaggeration to say that he has accomplished something like this.
Soon, a million years had passed.
While strengthening his true self, Ye Yang also explored all the sections of the [Laws of Time and Space] in the inheritance library.
The world where the former territory of the Federation is located is a level ten world.
Comprehending the spacetime laws of that world is not considered a particularly impressive achievement in the Multiverse Federation of Humans.
Many cultivators who are still in the stage of strengthening their true self have already been able to do this, while those cultivators who have entered the stage of "seeking emptiness within falsehood" have basically comprehended most of the laws of that world.
This is only natural. If the laws of the world haven't even been clearly explained, how can we use the power of "falsehood" to eliminate "falsehood" and seek "vacuum"?
Therefore, the several inheritance sections of [Laws of Space-Time] contain complete analysis and research data on the laws of space-time of that level ten world.
Unfortunately, with Ye Yang's level of understanding, he could only get a general idea or understand the basic parts.
As for the more profound parts, all I can do is shake my head and smile wryly.
After all, he'd never even been to that world. He'd never seen a tiger, so it's hard for him to draw a realistic cat, even if he referenced one.
Of course, Ye Yang could easily understand and master some of the simpler concepts.
In addition, the [Laws of Spacetime] section includes research and analysis of spacetime laws in mid- and low-level worlds, as well as research on the commonalities of laws and the mathematical essence of spacetime under common laws.
There is a lot of material that Ye Yang can understand at his current level.
Before he knew it, Ye Yang had finished cultivating the last chapter of the second volume of "The Record of True Nature Condensing and Spirit Awakening".
In his research over the years, Ye Yang also discovered that as his true self gradually grew stronger, it caught up with his spiritual cultivation and the realm of the Great Dao.
His comprehension improved dramatically.
There has been a fundamental leap in the speed and breadth of thinking, as well as in consciousness and will!
As a result, several previously undiscovered special thought algorithms have emerged in the mental model describing his self-awareness.
Wisdom, accumulated and transmitted among individuals, seems to have created a miracle, tending to erase so-called talent and innate ability.
Continue your practice.
"Space-Time — Perfect Loop Architecture —"
Ye Yang endured the repeated onslaught of desire that threatened to lull him into sleep, and struggled to maintain his thoughts.
This is a special effect of the first chapter of the third volume of "The Record of True Nature Condensing Truth and Enlightening the Spirit".
Of course there is no danger, but once you fall into a deep sleep, the training will be interrupted and you will have to start all over again.
Ye Yang is currently studying a set of data.
That was a record of the world's continuous evolution that Ye Yang collected when he was helping Bai Lin deal with the strange phenomenon of reincarnation he encountered in his alternate world.
That is the entire process of gradually evolving from a world with incomplete causality (the free world) back to a world with complete causality (the story world).
It seemed to expound some profound truth, but Ye Yang's level at the time was not high enough to fully understand it, and he only created a special secret technique with little offensive power.
Time and space are real, the soul is illusory; the real is refined into the fake, and the fake is refined into the real.
However, this also played a significant role in his subsequent improvement and creation of his unique skills.
However, now that Ye Yang has absorbed a great deal of profound inherited knowledge, he has reached a sufficiently high level.
