Douluo: Starting with Grayxiu, the power of the star god is added

Chapter 108 [Cause and Effect]

Lang Lei has been lying in bed for the past few days. Although his body has stopped moving, his brain has not.

"Alita? Alita? Is she there?" Unable to figure it out, Lang Lei summoned Alita out.

"Well... I'm sleeping. What's the matter, master?" Almita rubbed her eyes and flew out of Lang Lei's body.

"It's the middle of the day, why are you still sleeping..." Lang Lei complained, "Besides, you should take a rest. Except for the first time we met, you always looked drowsy every time I saw you~"

"Know it……"

"I have a question."

"Master, please feel free to ask. I can answer any questions you have. Almaita will tell you everything I know." Almaita patted his chest.

"Little Grayshu and Alicia..."

"Where did they come from? How were they summoned?"

"Hmm... You ask such an embarrassing question right at the start..." Almita seemed a little distressed.

"Can't you tell me?" Lang Lei's tone seemed indifferent.

"It's not like I can't say..."

"It's just that - it's not the right time to say it yet."

"Then when can I tell you?"

"You can answer this! When the master knows!"

"..."

"I saw a star god a few days ago." Lang Lei threw out a shocking news.

"Huh? Really?" Almita really didn't know about this and showed a puzzled expression, "Well... this shouldn't be the case. They shouldn't notice the master at this time..."

"It's a star god wearing a black robe, soaking in water, and entangled by many lines. Does Elmita know him?" Lang Lei asked.

"Hmm? That means..."

"Well, master, don't worry, they are one of us." Almita seemed confident.

"Okay." Lang Lei nodded, "Do you know the fate of that star god?"

“That’s something I can say!”

"It's [cause and effect], so cool!"

"【Cause and Effect】? It really is a fate I have never heard of..."

As we all know, Star Gods are beings that practice a certain philosophical concept to the extreme. The strength of Star Gods can be defined by the breadth of their destiny.

And [Cause and Effect]...

It can be said to be an extremely broad concept.

In our daily lives, cause and effect are everywhere. It is like an invisible thread that closely connects each of our actions with the results.

As early as in the ancient philosophy of some civilizations, the concept of "cause and effect" was proposed, which believed that everything is governed by cause and effect, and every behavior will produce corresponding results, which will become new causes and trigger more results. This concept emphasizes the close connection between personal behavior and destiny, and encourages people to improve their destiny by doing good deeds. In life, the cause and effect relationship is particularly obvious. For example, if a student studies hard, he is likely to get good grades in the exam. This is because his usual hard work has planted the "cause", and the good grades in the exam are the "result" brought about by this "cause". Similarly, if a person is full of hostility and malice towards others, he is likely to encounter interpersonal troubles and isolation. This is because his unfriendly behavior has planted negative "cause", and interpersonal troubles are the "result" brought about by this "cause".

What troubles Lang Lei is that he can see the "result" of his relationship with Alicia and little Grayshu, but he cannot find the "cause".

This is the root of Lang Lei’s distress.

However, the cause-and-effect relationship in life is not always so simple and clear. Sometimes, one action may produce multiple different results, and these results may be intertwined and influence each other. For example, a person's success in career may bring wealth and status, but at the same time, it may also bring him greater pressure and responsibility. In addition, the cause-and-effect relationship may also be affected by other factors and change.

The complexity of causality is also reflected in its multi-level nature. Many people divide causality into three levels:

Association, intervention, and counterfactual reasoning.

The most basic level is association, which is what deep learning in our usual sense does, finding the correlation between variables through observed data.

This cannot lead to conclusions about the direction in which events influence each other, only that the two are related. For example, we know that when event A occurs, event B also occurs, but we cannot find out whether the occurrence of event A leads to the occurrence of event B.

The second level is intervention, which means we want to know whether event B will change accordingly when we change event A.

The highest level is counterfactual reasoning, which can also be understood as "seeking the cause from the effect", that is, we want to know that if we want event B to change in some way, we can achieve it by changing event A.

It sounds simple, but achieving the status of a Star God through [cause and effect] is not an easy task.

At the most obvious level, at least you have to understand cause and effect first, right?

There are many ways to understand causal relationships. Comparative experiments, logical reasoning, time series analysis and correlation regression analysis are commonly used tools.

Comparative experiments explore cause and effect relationships by placing the object to be studied under different conditions and repeatedly operating and observing it.

The law of logical reasoning analyzes the properties or states of known things, summarizes them and finds their internal laws, so as to infer unknown things.

Time series analysis and related regression analysis determine the correlation or causal relationship between events through data collection, organization and analysis.

In short, causality is very broad and difficult to understand. It is an important tool for understanding the world and one's own behavior. Through the exploration and application of causality, it can help us better understand the world and guide our own behavior and decision-making more wisely.

All these are telling Lang Lei that this [Cause and Effect] Star God is by no means simple!
Moreover, Lang Lei had a hunch that all his questions could be answered by this star god.

After all, what he was looking for was the "cause", and the other party was the Star God of Cause and Effect.

"Master, what's the problem?" Alita looked at Lang Lei who was lost in thought and yawned loudly.

"Hmm? Oh, it's okay, go and rest first."

"Well, then the master should also rest early~"

As she spoke, Alita flew into Lang Lei's body.

"Cause and effect, cause and effect..." Lang Lei murmured. He seemed to have grasped something, but also seemed to have grasped nothing.

It's really a tangled mess that can't be sorted out.

"Ahhh, never mind, just forget about it and draw a card!"

Unable to figure it out for the time being, Lang Lei simply put the matter aside and clicked on the system's lottery page.
