Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 109 The World in Our Eyes (Part )
——The world as seen by psychics?

Alnan looked a little surprised, then nodded and said with a smile: "Then thank you for your help."

"Wait a minute, Song Shi." Shan Xing put down the wine glass filled with cold air and showed a subtle expression: "You don't want to talk about that, do you?"

"I think I know what you're thinking, but that's not what I want to say. But you did remind me, so I'll use this as a preface."

A ball of flame appeared in Song Shi's palm, lingering around his five fingers:
"Everyone, what do you think psychic energy is? Or, what is the principle of psychic energy?"

Arnan hesitated for a moment, but Tabitha looked at him with a sharp gaze and spoke directly:
"According to the most widely used theoretical definition, psychic energy is composed of some invisible, indivisible, and difficult to observe 'psychic energy factor', just like molecules and atoms together constitute matter, and different properties are brought about by changes in microscopic structure."

“It’s a pretty standard statement.”

Song Shi laughed, and he turned to look at Shan Xing: "How about you guys talk about [Balance] first?"

"Fine."

Shanxing cleared her throat and slowly opened her right hand. Under the drastic changes in electromagnetic waves and the transformation of spiritual energy, a small string of silver-white electric arcs shot out, but were bound between her two fingers under the influence of her mind.

"In the eyes of Balance, the so-called spiritual energy is a rule and law for the operation of the world. It has always existed and always will. We discovered spiritual energy, not invented it. We all know that water boils when heated, but in a low-pressure environment, no matter how much firewood is added, the water will boil prematurely and it will be difficult to reach its original temperature."

"Air pressure and temperature affect each other. They are both a kind of rule. The same is true for 'psychic power'. Perhaps it is more incredible and beyond imagination, but in the final analysis, it is just a kind of rule. It is under the maintenance and balance of countless rules that we have the world we have now."

"[Dayuan]'s view may be more classical, or a bit similar to the creation theory in various religious myths."

Song Shi leaned back on the sofa and said leisurely, "We believe that everything in this world has a source, which is the so-called 'Great Source'. The cornerstones of the world, such as earth, wind, water, and fire, are all reflections and projections of the 'Great Source'. All things and phenomena come from the 'Great Source'."

"Psychic power is the only way for mortals like us to reach the 'Great Source'."

"So the ultimate goal of all generations of psychics on the Great Source path is to control or become the Great Source."

After the words fell, Song Shi continued:

“Then there is [truth] and [consensus].”

"The former believes that psychic power is just psychic power. Why should there be so many reasons? Since it appears, it means it exists, and existence is reasonable. Why bother to spend time and effort to invent an inexplicable principle or essence for it?"

"As for consensus, they believe that the source of psychic energy is the spirituality or consciousness of all 'spiritual beings' in the world. Psychic energy is born from 'spirituality', and every being is different because of their unique 'spirituality' - this is also the reason why some artificial intelligences have also awakened 'psychic energy', because they are also 'spiritual beings'."

"Their goal is to unify the spirituality of all 'spiritual things' and thereby reach a 'consensus of all things.'"

".Sparkling Star, why didn't you tell me this before?"

Harold was stunned and asked the other party.

"Tsk, what can I say? This worldview is so lame."

Twinkle Star scratched her head hard and gritted her teeth for a while, until finally, she sighed deeply and said nothing more.

"So, what about transcendence?"

Shovel nodded slightly, thinking, and said: "What do transcendent psychics think of psychic powers?"

"[Transcendence] Those guys' ideas are quite outrageous."

Song Shi sighed lightly: "They believe that the total amount of spiritual energy in this world has never increased or decreased since the birth of spiritual energy."

"You understand how incredible the power of psychic energy is, so it is natural for Transcendence to believe that 'psychic energy' is the supreme thing in this world. It is the only 'ladder to transcend' - but its total amount is constant."

"So if you want to truly achieve [transcendence] and stand at the top of all things, you need to occupy as much spiritual energy as possible and create a complete 'ladder of transgression'."

"According to the theory of Transcendence, only one person can complete the entire journey, and that person is the psychic who defeats everyone else and possesses the most 'psychic energy' - if there is another psychic at the same level, then it cannot be called unsurpassed."

"Colosseum" Quemu murmured in a low voice: "It's no more cruel than the Colosseum." "What Colosseum? This is simply a social psychopath!"

Harold was shocked, but he frowned quickly: "No, Song Shi, according to what you said, shouldn't all the psychics who are "transcendent" have died in the civil war? Or an "unsurpassed" psychic has emerged, but now..."

"Wait a moment, Harold." Tabitha interrupted him and raised her hand to signal: "Song Shi, there is another way. How does [Revelation] say it?"

“[Revelation] is quite special.”

Song Shi shook his head: "It's hard for me to explain their point of view in words. Maybe this is why [Revelation] is the path with the least number of people."

"As for your question, Harold."

Under Shan Xing's subtle gaze, Song Shi smiled and slowly said:

"Who told you that a psychic on the Tao path must only believe in the worldview of his own Tao path?"

"Ok?"

".Well."

"what?"

Without giving everyone time to react, Song Shi looked at Harold and asked directly: "Harold, do you think the shape of the planet under our feet is a sphere or an elliptical disk?"

"Well, since you said 'planet', it must be a sphere. I'm not one of those people who supports the flat earth theory."

Harold replied subconsciously, but then, as if he suddenly realized something, he opened his eyes wide and said, "Wait, what do you mean..."

"That's right! That's the answer to the question!"

Song Shi laughed and snapped his fingers: "The [Sunset Moon] in the sky will not change its orbit because of your opinion."

"Whether you believe in the 'Flat Earth Theory' or the 'Earth Theory', it doesn't prevent you from standing here. It doesn't prevent us from standing on this planet called Terra!"

"The same is true for [Psychic Power]!"

"That's why I haven't told you about this. Few people discuss this online either. Of course, this is because of information control and the small number of psychics." Flash Star covered his forehead and said, "This thing is a theory, but if you really want to say how many psychics believe it completely, tsk."

Harold turned his gaze towards the young man, his expression serious and curious: "Song Shi, what do you say?"

"Dubious."

Song Shi spread his hands and said frankly: "I agree that the 'Great Source' exists, but if you say that everything in this world is a reflection and projection of the 'Great Source', I don't quite believe it."

The young man raised a finger and said seriously:
"Of course, the 'Great Source' is an important reason. There is no doubt about that. There must be a 'Great Source' in this world."

Hearing this, Harold was silent for a moment, then looked at Flashstar and Sparroweye. The former spread out his hands, indicating that he was about the same, while the latter shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Then the man uttered a word with a complicated look in his eyes.

".Grass."

Song Shihou leaned back on the sofa and laughed:

"This is the world in the eyes of us [Psychics]—"

"——'s 'foreword'."
