Shine Upon Me!
Su Luo is indeed somewhat dead.
Under the endless, collapsing pressure of the Mental Singularity, his consciousness was already on the verge of complete collapse.
If the Heartfire had not long been integrated with self-awareness, Evolution an instinct to autonomously seize life, Su Luo would already be dead.
It doesn't actually kill you; it just puts you in a near-death state, triggering Near-Death Teleportation Ticket, allowing you to enter the Laboratory and regenerate.
There will always be a backup plan; Su Luo won't die, no matter what.
Consciousness is a real thing, existing in a physical sense, which means that consciousness has an upper limit.
This statement has been mentioned many times.
The pressure within the [Mental Singularity] was increasing infinitely, squeezing and obliterating the Consciousness Entity, Consciousness Entity became increasingly resilient through countless trials.
Finally, the Consciousness Entity successfully disintegrated and exploded.
The shattering of consciousness meant the complete annihilation of her Spiritual Light, and Su Luo, who had already lost all reaction, entered the countdown to death.
At this moment, the Title [Undying], which had not been activated for a very long time, was instantly activated.
[Title Effect: When Health Points is below 10%, all Attributes are temporarily increased by 10%]
The slight increase in all Attributes somewhat halted the dissipation of Spiritual Light, Su Luo suddenly sensed something moving in and out of the [Mental Singularity].
[Eye of Guixu] was thrusting inside [Mental Singularity], doing nothing. The moment Su Luo's consciousness dissipated, she began to leave, and the moment her consciousness cleared, she ran back.
"My consciousness is right here, so where is the [Eye of Guixu] running off to?"
In Su Luo's fragmented Disordered Trajectories thoughts, a stubborn and pure question suddenly took root and wouldn't go away.
Nothing else mattered anymore; Su Luo wasn't thinking about anything else. All he wanted to do now was figure out this problem.
The path of [Evolution] gives Su Luo the confidence to remain immortal, [Heartfire] provides Su Luo with endless endurance, and [Learning Gains] provides Su Luo with a primal driving force.
[Talent: Learning Gains (+1):]
Benefit 1: Guaranteed minimum return during the learning process
Effect 2: Your concentration during study is significantly improved.
Effect 3: Your research speed is significantly increased.
The usually inconspicuous effect two provided Su Luo with a motivation to study.
In the Dream World, in a secluded room, Su Luo's props are kept.
The [Genli Zhi Mo], which has absorbed the [Sigh of the Star-glow Goddess], is still advancing to Epic item. Its original skills have disappeared, and it is generating new skills.
On the side, there are also the Epic- level [Burning Feather Phoenix Skirt] and the Legendary- level [Spacetime Hourglass].
Without the slightest hesitation, disregarding the possibility of death, Su Luo ordered Xiao Luo to feed the [Burning Feather Phoenix Skirt] to the [Spacetime Hourglass].
[Spacetime Hourglass] radiated light and began its transformation into Epic- quality item, but Su Luo immediately activated the skills [Bullet Time] and [Rewind].
He forcibly dragged this transforming Time Treasure, along with all its skill effects, back into the Mental Singularity of reality.
The next instant, the Berserk, boundless power of the singularity's collapse crashed down.
The [Spacetime Hourglass], which had not yet been upgraded to Epic quality, was torn to shreds by [Mental Singularity], but its skill effect had already surpassed Legendary quality, effectively controlling the rampant [Mental Singularity].
A Rewind brought Su Luo's Spiritual Light back.
"First of all, the [Eye of Guixu] is not bound to my Consciousness Entity itself, but to something deeper."
"Back in the [Wasteland], [Sai Wangli] tried to possess me, swapping everything associated with my Consciousness Entity, but the [Eye of Guixu] flew into my new body."
"And this time, with my consciousness fading away, what is the [Eye of Guixu] doing now?"
"It anticipated my impending death and tried to run to my Laboratory to wait for me, completely breaking free from following my consciousness."
"What exactly is it following? Something in consciousness?"
"When consciousness perishes, the [Spiritual Light] departs. Isn't the [Spiritual Light] something that arises from consciousness itself?"
Su Luo thinking frantically, and the new things that emerged during the process of thinking and exploring propelled her to continue.
"So what exactly is emitting this [Spiritual Light]? It's something deeper than consciousness. The [Eye of Guixu] is very likely bound to this thing."
"This thing isn't within consciousness. The [Eye of Guixu] has already left, which means it's actually in a 'higher' place. Consciousness is just a... projection of this thing!"
Using the last bit of power from the destruction of the [Spacetime Hourglass] to initiate another Rewind, Su Luo suddenly became aware of the existence of something.
What exactly is life? Why does life exist? What are the differences among life forms?
There is something that transcends matter, energy, and even space and time; it exists in the world and may be the primary cause of life's existence.
Su Luo didn't know what this was, so she decided to call it -- [True Spirit]!
Consciousness is merely a projection of the True Spirit onto the material and spiritual worlds.
The dissipation of the Spiritual Light signifies the departure of the [True Spirit]. At least in that brief moment, Su Luo's [True Spirit] departed, and the foundation of his life was gone.
When Su Luo deduced this step from her state of Spiritual Light, she suddenly felt a sense of bewilderment.
It's useless.
Matter, energy, and even spacetime may not be able to affect it. Su Luo has absolutely no means to observe or influence it, so what's the point?
The True Spirit is neither born nor dies, neither defiled nor pure, neither increasing nor decreasing.
This was Su Luo's guess; in fact, Su Luo had no idea whether the [True Spirit] actually existed.
This has already entered the realm of idealism, violating the primacy of matter.
[True Spirit] is not Su Luo; Su Luo is merely this Consciousness Entity that has been shattered several times.
Su Luo died, but her True Spirit lives on; Su Luo dissipated, but her True Spirit endures.
Perhaps the True Spirit will shine a new Spiritual Light upon the new consciousness, but that will definitely not be Su Luo, nor will it be a reincarnation.
"Consciousness is a projection of the True Spirit. It can also be understood as consciousness being an illusion of the True Spirit."
The intense pressure crushed Su Luo's Consciousness Entity, which had only Rewind previous state for less than a second, once again, and the light of her awareness dissipated.
How can we see the truth if the illusion doesn't dissipate?
Seeing the light of awareness depart, Su Luo raised her hand to grasp its disappearance, facing directly that transcendent being.
"O True Spirit! In the name of [Su Luo], I command you! Shine upon me!"
"Holy crap, what's going on?"
[Little Survival Sprite] exclaimed in surprise.
"What's wrong?" Song Shige, who was cultivating nearby, looked up.
[Little Survival Sprite] fired several shots at an extremely fast frequency, scratched his head, shrugged, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"The good news is that the being inside has become stronger; its health has increased from 700 trillion to 500 trillion."
