Luo Kai was once again pulled into a dream within a dream. This time, it was not his previous life, nor was it his current life. Instead, it was a strange place. The world was gray, and in this gray, there were countless prisons. Some of the prisons seemed to be made of ordinary wood, simple and crude, while others were very sci-fi looking energy shields and gravity cells.
Locked up in these prisons were existences whose specific forms could not be seen clearly. Luo Kai could only sense their gloomy gazes. Some of them were surprised, but most of them were gloating over his misfortune. They seemed to have seen his current situation.
Luo Kai wanted to take a closer look at this place, but soon, the scene before his eyes shattered like snowflakes. He could not help but feel a little regretful. Dreams were the most direct reaction of the human soul. Not only would it reflect reality and surreal things, it would even transcend time and space, reflecting the reincarnation of heaven and earth, past and present lives!
The body died easily, but the soul was eternal. The soul was like the basic code of a computer program. The program was prone to collapse, but the code only returned to its original state.
The soul recorded the beginning of every life and the reincarnation information. The evolution of life was actually reviewing this information in order to surpass the reincarnation of life and death. What he saw just now was very likely a memory that was deeply engraved in the soul. Even the reincarnation of heaven and earth could not erase it.
He was once again pulled out of the dream. To be exact, he was pulled to another place. This time, he was in the starry sky. The bright stars above his head seemed to be within reach. Among these endless stars, two people were sitting upright. There was a chessboard in front of them, and they seemed to be playing chess.
One was an old monk with lop-eared ears, and the other was a man wearing a tall hat. They were the two people who were preaching in the Taixuan Temple that day.
The two of them appeared in the three-dimensional universe as existences that were on par with the stars. However, at this moment, they were frowning. The chessboard in front of them was not used for playing chess, but for calculating the past, present, and future.
The old monk furrowed his snow-white eyebrows and sighed, "The Buddha is merciful, but he is powerless to change the future."
The man in the tall hat opposite him picked up a chess piece and held it in the air for a long time without putting it down. Finally, he helplessly put it back and asked, "Even the Future Buddha cannot interfere?"
The old monk shook his head, "It's not that Buddha is powerless, it's that he can't."
The tall-hat man sighed. Although he belonged to a Daoist sect, he knew the essence of Buddhism. Buddhism was the enlightenment of wisdom, the education of awareness, and the realization of the truth of life in the universe.
In the Western Pure Land, there were three great Buddhas. They were the Buddha of the Past, the Buddha of the Present, and the Buddha of the Future. According to the four-dimensional theory, these three Buddhas cultivated the past, present, and future.
In terms of time, there was a past, present, and future. As long as matter continued to develop, there would be a past, present, and future.
When a life existed in this world, it would have its past. When a tree grew up, it would experience the past seed period, the present tree period, and the future withering period. These three periods were an inevitable process that every life would go through.
The Buddha of the Past, the Buddha of the Present, and the Buddha of the Future were not only the three appearances of things, but they also represented the ultimate meaning of the four-dimensional theory. They were existences that transcended timelines and dimensions. If even they were powerless to change the situation, then the Nine Extremes Sect could only leave.
He shifted his gaze away from the chessboard and looked towards Luo Kai and the rest. His gaze transcended the barriers of endless space and saw everything that happened on Pluto. His eyes immediately emitted a blinding white light and he raised his hand, as if he was about to launch an attack that transcended space.
The old monk opposite him quickly stopped him, "Mr. Tai Xuan, you can't do that. My disciple has already gone. Although he is powerless to change the outcome, he can change the present."
The man in the tall-hat was the archbishop of the Tai Xuan Dojo. He was known as the Tai Xuan Zhenren. The dojo of the Nine Extremes Sect in the Milky Way was named after him. As one of the nine archbishops of the three-dimensional universe under the Nine Extremes Sect, he had already completed 50% of his four-dimensional transformation and possessed boundless magical powers. He could crush stars with a wave of his hand!
For four-dimensional life forms, with every 1% increase in their four-dimensional transformation, their understanding of the multivariate universe would deepen by one level. Their utilization of the universe's dark matter ocean would also deepen by one level. At a certain level, they would even be able to trigger powerful cosmic tides, and even the stars would be like playthings in their hands.
The Tai Xuan Zhenren slowly lowered his hand, but his gaze was still as bright as a torch. He said, "Master Zhi Er, you may not know this, but the metaplasia race is truly a locust of the universe. The Nine Extremes Sect is currently engaged in a divine war with them in the Upper Realm. They have sneaked into the solar system to steal the relics of the ancient saints."
The old monk smiled, "The teachings of the saints have always been open to all. If they are interested, they can take it. Mr. Tai Xuan, haven't you noticed that we have some interesting people here?"
"They are just people who are trying to cross the timeline and change karma. After billions of years, such people are still as common as carps crossing the river."
The Tai Xuan Zhenren said calmly, but his tone changed, "However, the person who created the space-time wormhole is very interesting. She has a lot to do with the celestials. Unfortunately, the future observer of the heavens will not let her go. Sooner or later, she will be sent to the Abyss to suffer the punishment of the Thunder of Punishment."
"It seems that you have not noticed, but I have seen someone. This person has fate with the Buddha."
The old monk turned his head to look at Luo Kai. He stretched out his hand, and ripples appeared in the void. A passage of words was transmitted into Luo Kai's mind, "All things appear according to the mind, and change according to the consciousness. The mind is the body, and the consciousness changes according to the use. Everything is hidden in the Tathagata, and the Tathagata is hidden.
Luo Kai had been able to see and hear the conversation between the two of them. However, he had only uncovered a little bit of the mystery of the four-dimensional universe. However, this passage of words shocked him to the core.
That's right. All things appear according to the mind, and change according to the consciousness. When you see an apple, it is actually due to external stimuli that is processed in your consciousness into "I see an apple."
We cannot see the real image of this thing in the real world. Everything has to be processed by past cognition. Therefore, the apple is a processing of the brain's thoughts, and not a real existence. The essence of everything you perceive is the world created by the brain, and not the real world.
The essence of the world that we perceive is the materialization of our various senses, and it is not what it really looks like. Once an imaginary thing is believed to be real in the subconscious mind, then the effect presented in reality may also be real. For example, in a famous experiment, a master hypnotist hypnotized an experimenter and brought the experimenter into the deepest dream. In the dream, the experimenter's house was on fire. He was busy putting out the fire and was accidentally scalded by the fire. In reality, a miraculous scene happened. The experimenter's body actually showed signs of being scalded. His skin was red and swollen, and even blisters appeared on his skin.
This universe was nothing more than an illusory dream. Even traveling through time and space might have only involved a higher level of the dream. The more he immersed himself in it, the more he lost himself. Once he died in the dream, he would really die in reality.
