On the shore, Luo Kai stood motionless.
The tides of the sea rose and fell, and the clouds in the sky dispersed.
The unchanging scene between heaven and earth caused his mind to fall into a state of tranquility. As the colorful energy around him returned to matter, it gradually turned into a mountain.
For divinity, unnecessary emotions like emotions were unnecessary. They were even a burden to one's growth, just like the evil energy that represented destruction. Absolute power was absolutely ruthless.
When one obtained a certain kind of power, one must bear the will that this power represented.
Whether it was the particles of his body, the gradual divinity of his mind and consciousness, or the infinite power, all made it difficult for him to integrate into human society. He was like a high and mighty ruler who controlled everything and was destined to be endlessly lonely.
He tried his best to hold on to the humanity that was about to be lost, but it was all too late. One day in the future, he would have to completely integrate into the will of heaven and earth. At that time, he would lose everything, including himself.
He felt a sense of loss in his heart, and a trace of depression appeared. Perhaps he had to give up.
…
As the Three-Eyed Race left the stage of history, humans fell into a situation where they were fighting for themselves and were torn apart.
The overall situation worsened. The Oceanic Race allowed the ferocious beasts in the sea to frequently attack the coastal areas. In front of the ferocious beasts in the sea that could control endless waves, the coastal areas, including the capital of Higashimogami Province, could not continue and were forced to migrate to the inland areas in the north.
The inland areas were also filled with smoke. The military used a large number of fission weapons at all costs. However, with the large number of fission weapons used, the ferocious beasts developed resistance. Whether it was their resistance to radiation or their recovery ability, they became stronger.
After being attacked by radiation, humans would be distorted. They would be ugly and their intelligence would be lowered.
Some even showed signs of atavism. In this era of great evolution, humans who were always one step behind the ferocious beasts were destined to be eliminated.
However, the evolution of a species was like a spring. The greater the external pressure, the greater the potential that burst out.
Some powerful human individuals continued to appear. They had strong combat power and were invincible in the ferocious beasts' battlefield.
Some were intelligent and learned people who even knew and discovered the use of a different kind of energy in nature.
A kind of pure energy named "electricity" appeared.
Three years later, in the east-central part of the continent, there was a city named New Hope.
This city was built on the vast Cangjiang Plains. Outside the city were countless fortresses, one after another, with no end in sight. Various types of cannons of different calibers filled the fortresses.
Among them, the most eye-catching one was a huge cannon that was dozens of meters tall, like a mountain. The strange thing was that although the cannon was huge, its barrel was only as thick as an adult's arm.
This huge cannon was a new type of energy weapon, the electromagnetic cannon!
The power of a weapon was actually the acceleration of mass. The electromagnetic cannon was a perfect weapon that pursued mass to accelerate mass. It used electromagnetic force to accelerate high-density, high-quality shells.
Even a complete Direbeast would not be able to withstand such a powerful kinetic attack.
Nowadays, electromagnetic cannons were the most powerful weapon humans had against Direbeasts. They were not contaminated, had a long range, and were fast. As long as Direbeasts appeared within the effective range, it would be difficult for them to dodge.
Its only drawback was that it required a huge amount of energy and required a long recharge time for each shot.
Behind the fortress was a large number of coal-fired power plants with thick smoke billowing out.
The appearance of electricity meant that the laws of the world had been restored to perfection. It also determined that the direction of human science and technology research would change from macroscopic to microscopic, completely crossing a level. It had epoch-making significance, and it was no exception to the current human race.
In the northwest corner of the City of Hope, there was a school called Blackstone Engineering School. The school mainly focused on engineering, which meant that the students were taught physics, chemistry, and the use of various tools. Of course, they also taught some simple physical skills.
Today, there was a class in the corner of the third floor of the school building.
It was a physics class that belonged to the upper grades. The students were all fifteen-sixteen-year-old millennials.
The teacher was a bald old man, nicknamed Teacher Yu. His class was very boring, and he thought that he was smart enough to tell a short story at the end of each class.
Now, it was time to tell a story. Teacher Yu stroked his thin beard and said in a hoarse voice, "Today, we will talk about the subconscious mind. Does anyone know what the subconscious mind is?"
There was no response for a long time. The students below were either sleeping or whispering to each other. Most of them were flipping through books on physical skills. No one paid any attention to him. Compared to the boring engineering class, physical skills that could strengthen one's body were indeed more attractive.
Teacher Yu sighed and continued, "Once upon a time, there was a person who dreamed at night that his house was on fire. This person was busy putting out the fire and was accidentally scalded by the fire. When he woke up the next day, a miraculous scene occurred in reality. His hand was actually scalded …
Only a few students in the front row were listening attentively. One of them, a little fatty, couldn't help but say in surprise, "Ah, what's going on?"
Old Master Yu looked at Little Fatty with a solemn expression. "This is the manifestation of the subconscious. It is the great influence of 'consciousness'. The world in the dreamscape belongs to our own world. Consciousness can change the state and structure of the material world, create objective existences, and even change the relationship between cause and effect."
The little fatty shook his head blankly, indicating that he didn't understand.
Teacher Banfu sighed and continued, "You can understand it as confidence. As long as you firmly believe in something, no matter how impossible it is, it will still happen."
"Then if I firmly believe that I can get a hundred points tomorrow, will I really get a hundred points?" The little fatty chuckled.
Teacher Yu also laughed out loud. "If you really don't have a trace of doubt, then you will really get a hundred points!"
The little fatty scratched his head. "Forget it. Don't say that I don't believe it. Even the heavens won't believe it."
Teacher Yu looked straight at him with his turbid eyes and said warmly, "Don't doubt yourself. Confidence is an omnipotent force. It has always been hidden deep in the subconscious mind. It can only be unearthed and grow when it is continuously stimulated. I think that you will come into contact with it one day in the future. Remember, you must believe in yourself."
"Alright, today's story ends here. I know that you may not understand, but when you have more life experience, you may understand a little."
The little fatty stared blankly for a moment, then chased out of the classroom to follow Teacher Yu. When he reached a corner, he quickened his pace and chased after him. He wanted to say something but hesitated.
Teacher Yu turned around to look at him and smiled. "Student Zhang Xiaolu, what's the matter?"
The little fatty looked around and whispered, "Teacher, you … do you think that after people die, they will become ghosts?"
Teacher Yu stretched out his calloused hand and stroked the little fatty's head. He softly said, "The total amount of matter in the universe will not change. If a life dies, its skin, bones, blood, and even spirit will transform into something else. The physical world will turn into a pile of ash and become nutrients for the earth. Then, it will give birth to life. This is an endless cycle.
He paused and continued, "And the spiritual world will not last forever. It will also return to heaven and earth. Therefore, there are no ghosts in this world. There is only our fear. Do you remember what I said just now? The world in our dreams belongs to us. As long as you believe in yourself, everything is limitless!"
