The essence of life was negative entropy. The essence of consciousness was negative entropy. The existence of living beings was inevitably a phenomenon of negative entropy.
When entropy increase exceeded a certain threshold, living beings would inevitably die. This was one of the iron laws derived from the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

Yes, the force that had forcibly twisted Yang Jun into something inhuman was not something Wang Qi could contend against right now. Perhaps this was merely an ant trying to shake a tree, but...

Water could extinguish fire, but what could a single cup of water do against a cartload of burning firewood? It was negligible.
