"The basic formation of this universe is similar to our universe. However, when life appeared, countless individuals' perceptions of the world around them, coupled with intelligent thinking, and all kinds of subjective thoughts about nature, formed a large collective consciousness."
"This large collective consciousness merged with the objective laws of the entire universe and formed the Dao."
"Therefore, the improvement of individuals is to make their hearts as close to the Dao as possible, so that they can use more natural laws."
Hearing Ling Dang's words, Bai Ge asked, "Since the Dao is formed by life's perception of the world, is there a need to get close to the Dao? It comes from all living beings. "
Ling Dang said, "Everyone has a different view of the world. The Dao is all-encompassing. What's close to the majority's perception is the Great Dao, and what's close to the minority's perception is the Unorthodox Dao."
"It sounds mysterious. In short, Ruler, you only need to know that in this universe, the evolution of life and the development of civilization rely on metaphysical theories, not the physical theories of science."
Soon, Ling Dang gave Bai Ge a very straightforward example.
"The coexistence of Yin and Yang is one of the classic theories of this universe. Because philosophy is the first productive force in this universe, the coexistence of Yin and Yang is like the theory of relativity, filling the entire macroscopic and microscopic worlds. The macroscopic world shows that Yin and Yang suppress each other, while the microscopic world shows that Yin and Yang merge. "
"The smallest known particle in the microscopic world has the duality of Yin and Yang. It forms all matter in the world and can have four states. It is called the Four Symbols."
"Have you noticed? Ruler, the Four Symbols correspond to the solid, gaseous, liquid, and plasma states, but there is no Bo-Ai condensate. In other words, there is no absolute zero in this universe. "
"Because philosophy believes that heat is infinite, and so is cold. Why is heat infinite, but there is a lower limit to cold? This is not scientific … No, it is not philosophical! "
Bai Ge immediately understood what it meant to say that philosophy was the number one productive force.
In this universe, there was a rule that established that philosophy could dominate the physical world.
The Dao that was born from life was the unified model of the universe. The cognition of countless living beings was the essence of the universe, even if living beings were born after the universe appeared.
"If there is no absolute zero, then what happens when all matter stops moving? Isn't it absolute zero? "Bai Ge asked curiously.
Ling Dang said, "No, because matter is infinitely divisible, there is no real smallest particle, so there is no absolute stop of matter, and then there is no absolute zero."
"Ah? You mean there is no Planck constant? This world is continuous? "Bai Ge was stunned.
Ling Dang said, "That's right. This is a philosophical worldview. As long as a human being reaches a high level in philosophy, he will be able to control the material world with 'philosophical theories' alone. Yin and Yang can give birth to all things. Relying on this theory, humans have mastered microscopic matter. Powerful immortals can reshape the world and create living beings. "
"The Lord, the creation of life, does not require biotechnology, genetic technology, electron microscopes … Using 'knowledge' that is nonsensical from a scientific point of view, he can directly control matter and create life. Using the blood of different creatures and even some inorganic materials to create living creatures. "
Bai Ge scratched his head and roughly understood the basic concept of this universe.
A universe without the smallest particle meant that the number of times matter could be divisible was the same as natural numbers. This was almost using the imaginary world to encompass the material world, a typical philosophical point of view.
Even the most basic particles of matter were so philosophical, let alone other things.
Even the process of cultivation was very mysterious. Often, once a principle was comprehended, one's cultivation would skyrocket.
Here, humans only needed to comprehend deeper principles in their state of mind to be able to sense the world and then lead to the evolution of life or a breakthrough in biological energy.
People absorbed the so-called spiritual energy of the world as energy to drive the spells derived from the 'theory of Yin and Yang', 'chemistry of the five elements', and 'natural classical mechanics of Daoism'.
Spells were technology, magic treasures were tools, the energy stored in the human body was the driving force for evolution, and the 'principles' comprehended were the theoretical basis.
These formed the entire cultivation civilization.
Ling Dang said, "Lord, although this universe is so metaphysical, it does not mean that there is no science. Science still exists and is known as nature. It's just that it is contained in the 'Dao'. "
"Humans can still live according to nature and use some scientific tools to achieve some goals. But compared to the cultivators, the productivity is too low. That's why I said that philosophy is the primary productivity. As long as you comprehend the world, perceive the Dao, and break through yourself, you can influence the material world with your own body and achieve all kinds of goals. You can even live forever. "
"Under such circumstances, why do you have to be like an ant and study some strange skills?"
"For example, flying. Directly comprehend the principles. Under the perception of heaven, your cultivation and body will automatically improve and break through. Then, you can fly into the sky and ascend. No one will fiddle with a scientific plane. "
The cultivation civilization was a typical example of philosophy as the primary productivity.
All kinds of signs showed that the cultivation universe still had some natural laws, but the subjective principles that humans knew were higher than the natural laws.
This led to philosophy being the primary productivity.
…
Bai Ge walked out of the phone booth and found himself in a city. No one noticed him for the time being because there were very few pedestrians on the road. Most of them were in various aircraft.
This was good. Bai Ge was new here and needed to familiarize himself with this place.
"The phone booth is still here, but there are still phone booths in our universe. In other words, every universe created is equivalent to a phone booth duplicated?" Bai Ge thought to himself.
Ling Dang said, "It's not necessarily duplicated. It could also exist in every universe at the same time. If that's the case, it means that the people in this universe can also use the phone booth and create another universe. "
Bai Ge frowned. This meant that the number of parallel universes might be far more than the 20 or so he thought. It might even be increasing.
Thinking of this, he waved his hand and the phone booth disappeared.
The phone booth had the characteristic of predicting escape. When Bai Ge wanted to take it away, it would automatically disappear for a period of time.
"Leave some spiritual matter here to guard it. Once it appears, make it disappear." In order to prevent locals from using the phone booth, Bai Ge immediately said.
Ling Dang followed the instructions and began to guide Bai Ge while introducing the city.
In terms of the relative positions of the stars, this was Earth, but even the distribution and shape of the continents were different.
There was only one continent on the entire planet, about 600 million square kilometers in area. It was called Pangu Continent, and it was located north of the equator. Most of it was in the northern hemisphere. The northernmost part reached the North Pole, and the southernmost part was slightly beyond the equator.
There was only one country on the continent, and its name was unknown. This was because there was too little information that could be explored here. Even if Ling Dang's detector gradually eroded the major cities, it could not collect much detailed information.
All kinds of barriers and restrictions were hindering Ling Dang, and the thing that hindered her the most was the carrier of this civilization's information. Ling Dang could not understand it at all.
Ling Dang could not read the jade slips and the various large jade servers.
Long-distance communication did not use electromagnetic waves or gravitational waves. Instead, it used ultra-torque communication similar to quantum communication.
It could only be said that the generation gap was too big. Ling Dang could not even analyze it.
"Lord, I have to master the basic knowledge of this civilization," Ling Dang said.
Bai Ge nodded. They knew very little about this civilization now. He had only set it as Immortal Cultivation, and the rest was up to the universe.
However, just by looking at the surface, it was much, much stronger than Earth. According to Ling Dang's observations of space.
There were traces of humans on the moon and other planets. It seemed that a small number of individuals had colonized them. There were even buildings on the sun.
This was definitely not a world that he could manipulate.
"Information comes first. Let's find someone to read the memories."
As Bai Ge spoke, he began to walk toward the edge of the city. He did not intend to cause trouble as soon as he arrived.
This city was too big. Ling Dang alone had detected more than 40 million people.
Bai Ge looked at the distribution map of the city that Ling Dang had scanned. The entire city was three-dimensional, divided into three parts: upper, middle, and lower.
The highest level was directly at an altitude of 100,000 meters. It looked very developed. There were all kinds of Immortal Cultivators flying in the air or riding strange beasts.
It was equivalent to Earth's stratosphere. Immortal mountains and palaces floated in the air. Clouds and all kinds of spirit beasts lingered around. All kinds of lights shone, and the environment was very fairy-like.
Even Ling Dang could not go up. There was a layer of enchantment blocking the clouds.
As for the middle part of the city, it was more like a sci-fi world. There were tall buildings and giant towers everywhere. There were metal buildings and vehicles everywhere.
The place where Bai Ge appeared was the middle part. However, Bai Ge knew that these seemingly sci-fi vehicles were not things like maglev flying cars. They were Dharma treasures and spirit artifacts.
They did not use jets to propel them, nor did they use magnetic fields to fly. All flying Dharma treasures flew against gravity. They were a bit like spiritual substances.
What really made Bai Ge think that these were Dharma treasures was that every time someone arrived at a certain building, the person inside would wave his hand and make the flying car shrink or disappear directly or merge into his body.
If such an amazing method was realized with technology, it would be an extremely long road. However, it seemed to be common and extremely popular here.
There was also the area below the city, which was underground. According to Ling Dang's detection, there were dozens of buildings underground.
It was a place where mortals or people with low cultivation levels lived. Its main purpose seemed to be purely to serve the citizens of the middle part.
Bai Ge did not plan to go down. He walked a hundred kilometers to the edge of the city on the surface.
He found his target. It was a place that should be a school.
Along the way, Bai Ge did not see anyone walking on the road like him.
That was because there was no commercial street here. The shops were not on both sides of the road. Everyone was either in the building or on the way to the building.
"Every building has an enchantment that I don't understand. My doppelganger matter can't sneak in at all," Ling Dang said.
"However, we can see inside the enchantment. This means that light can let us in. I can go in …" Bai Ge said.
Bai Ge looked at the large group of buildings in front of him. The reason why it was called a school was that from a high place, he could see a large number of children and youths in a square inside.
What else could a place where so many youths gathered be if not a school?
Bai Ge was a little curious about the enchantment that enveloped the school. He touched the invisible barrier in front of him and exerted force with his hand. Immediately, many lines that he did not recognize appeared. They were red, yellow, black, white, and green.
He thought that this was just some kind of barrier, but unexpectedly, the five-colored light swept toward him.
Suddenly, the surrounding scenery changed drastically. Bai Ge was suddenly brought into a sealed space.
He was stunned and smiled. "Will violent intruders be automatically arrested?"
Bai Ge was not worried. As a school, there was definitely no enchantment that could directly trap people to death, especially when this civilization was quite advanced.
He looked around and soon found a young girl in the corner of this space.
The young girl was wearing ordinary clothes. Her appearance was pleasing to the eye. She was about thirteen or fourteen years old. She was pitifully curled up in the corner of the space. It seemed that she was also trapped here.
When she saw Bai Ge come in, she was first confused. Then, as if she had thought of something, her face lit up.
She jogged a few steps forward and her expression became cautious.
She suddenly prostrated herself on the ground and said nervously, "Teacher, I want to cultivate!"
Bai Ge was speechless. He wanted to cultivate too!
