Zongman: The comprehension is against the sky, shocking the star gods

Philosophy incubates theology, theology incubates science, and science attempts to solve everything with methodology, but it seems that it has not yet succeeded in doing so.

Su Mo looked at Bo Shizun with great interest, waiting for his reaction.

After a long silence, Master Boshizun spoke.

"I am the one who questions all the answers, and you are the one who questions all the questions."

This sentence not only emphasizes the concepts of both parties, but also answers the question about the sail building.

Although this answer seemed to be avoiding the main point, at this moment, Su Mo cared more about something else than finding fault.

"Didn't you say that you only give questions and not answers?"

"Why did you give such a perfunctory answer this time?"

Facing Su Mo's question, Bo Shizun answered very calmly.

"Because she is very special."

Although both Ruan Mei and Heita ignored the Fanlou, Bo Shizun attached great importance to it.

"Of course she is special."

Su Mo naturally understood what Master Boshi meant.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought Fanlou to this world on purpose.

"As a person who doubts everything, the skepticism this child represents is ahead of the epistemology you represent."

"So, I'm curious - before you analyze everything and find the ultimate answer to the universe, have you really confirmed that this answer really exists?"

"Have you never once suspected that the universe itself is just an illusion, and your existence is just a simulated character in a game?"

In just a few words, Su Mo directly raised a dangerous question, and this question itself even had the implication of denying the destiny of Master Bo Shi.

If it were a Star God with a bad temper, it would not be impossible for him to attack Su Mo.

In a sense, Fanlou's concept of essence is the nemesis of Boshizun's concept of destiny.

As a star god, the original purpose of the birth of Boshizun was to understand all things through logic and calculation, so as to understand the ultimate truth of the universe.

If he can succeed in doing this and successfully unlock all the mysteries of the universe, Boshizun will be able to directly break through the realm of omniscience and become an omniscient and omnipotent being.

For the vast majority of scientists, the existence of Boshizun is the greatest guide on the road of science. Even the development of the entire scientific community is almost entirely based on Boshizun's theories.

 …

Almost everyone agrees on one point - that the truth of the universe can really be obtained through logic, rationality, and calculation.

In fact, the prosperity and development of the scientific community to date is also verifying the correctness of this proposition.

However, with the flourishing development of epistemology and methodology, the shadow of skepticism is also growing in secret.

Even according to pure logical theory analysis, before searching for the truth of the universe and understanding all things, we must establish a premise, that is, the world can be known, the truth of the universe truly exists, and reason can explain everything.

If we take this premise a step further, we will reach the eternal philosophical problem mentioned earlier.

Cognition is a two-way process. If the world can be known, then who knows it? If it is me, then how can I be sure of my existence?

Bo Shi Zun is determined to solve the mystery of everything and wants to solve this equation called the cosmic problem.

Representative Fanlou's doubts even came before the problem was solved. She questioned the question itself.

Rather than solving problems, she cares more about whether the universe exists and whether she exists.

And this is the essence of the God of Doubt.

Hearing Su Mo's question, Bo Shi Zun was not angry. He had no intention of getting angry. Using logic and calculation to solve all problems was the essence of his destiny.

He is well-versed in all the information about civilizations in the universe, and is the one who can best understand the meaning of Su Mo's words.

So, he quickly gave his answer.

"The brain in a vat hypothesis is unfalsifiable and, for that reason, meaningless."

The brain in a vat hypothesis holds that everything an individual feels is simulated by signals. In fact, the world itself does not exist, but is just an illusion of the brain immersed in a solution.

A brain immersed in a tank cannot wake itself up. Even if it wakes up suddenly, no one can guarantee that this is not a second dream. Therefore, this hypothesis can never be falsified and can only become a topic of conversation after dinner.

The answer given by Bo Shi Zun was perfect, but Su Mo found it very interesting.

"Meaning? Isn't this something that only a happy destiny would care about?"

“Truth knows no fate.”

Boshizun spoke calmly, then lowered his head and looked at Fanlou with blind eyes.

"Doubt is a shadow of nothingness. You once stepped into the sleep of destiny, but you did not really move towards IX... What changed you?"

This time, it was Boshizun who asked Fanlou about the door.

152 Shocking Star God, Star Cup and the Lord of the Universe

　　Without any contact and based only on the most superficial observation, Bo Shi Zun discovered that Fanlou had experienced self-destruction.

Combining her essence with his calculation ability, it is not difficult to guess the truth.

He was not surprised why Fanlou fell into nothingness, but was only concerned about how Fanlou got out.

Her essence is too close to the essence of cognition, and the closer it is, the more dangerous it is.

In response to Bo Shizun's question, Fanlou subconsciously looked up at Su Mo.

"【Answer】It was the Lord God who saved Fanlou."

"Lord God?"

The blind old man shook his head.

"Su Mo is your main god, but you already know that he is not your creator."

"If you are the kind of person who questions all questions, then you should have realized that he cannot give you meaning."

With quite calm words, he exposed Fanlou's ostrich mentality and chick-like imprinting behavior.

All along, Fanlou's dependence on Su Mo has been based on the mentality of regarding him as a creator god and a parent.

As the Creator, He naturally bears the responsibility of giving His creation a mission.

In this case, Fanlou does not need to worry about how to confirm the existence of the world. The meaning of her and the world are determined by Su Mo. Su Mo becomes the bridge between her and the existence of the world.

Because of this relationship, she was almost completely obedient to Su Mo. No matter what Su Mo did to her, she would accept it as if it was given by the Lord God.

However, the reality is that Su Mo is not her creator, nor is he her parent.

Although there is still a master-servant relationship, Su Mo has no obligation to give her any meaning.

With Fanlou's wisdom, he actually knew this from the very beginning.

This is what Boshizun cares about.

Fanlou clearly knew that her ostrich mentality was not built on a solid foundation. Her reliance on isolating herself from the void was not only not strong enough, but could even be said to be as thin as paper and could break at the slightest touch.

In this situation, how could she step out of nothingness and even get so far away as she is now?

"【Negative】, the Lord, the Lord God belongs to Hanlou... The Lord God is the Lord God of Hanlou! The Lord God can give Hanlou everything meaning!"

The offense and defense switched, and this time it was Fanlou's turn to sweat profusely.

Her originally dull expression became extremely nervous. After her wrong perception was exposed, not only did she not show the slightest sign of distance, but she held Su Mo's palm tightly, as if she was afraid that Su Mo would "whoosh" and leave forever.

Even his tone of voice became incoherent, and in the end he was almost arguing with his face flushed.

After saying that, she looked up at Su Mo nervously, fearing that he would take back his previous promise.

Seeing Fanlou's overly emotional outburst, the blind old man calmly shook his head.

"There is no point in quibbling. You should understand by now that your claims are contrary to the facts."

"【Deny】, Houlou won't admit that!"

The young goddess Ming had tears in her eyes and declared again, looking really anxious.

Before she could continue speaking, Su Mo interrupted her argument.

"Holou, calm down. Can you feel your emotions now?"

The sudden question made the young goddess Ming slightly stunned.

She subconsciously thought about Su Mo's question and nodded.

"【Detection】Fanlou is now 30% angry, 40% scared, and 30% confused and incomprehensible."

Although she was having trouble controlling herself and tears were in her eyes, she still answered the question obediently.

Su Mo commented on this answer.

"Your fear stems from the facts. There is nothing wrong with what Master Boshi said. Your subjective perception of me as the creator does not match the objective reality. Your perception is wrong."

Hearing this and hearing that Su Mo agreed with Bo Shizun's remarks, Fan Lou's pupils suddenly shrank and panic filled his eyes in an instant.

"【negative】--!"

She finally had her Creator and finally gained meaning. The combination of these two happy things should have been a dream-like and wonderful time. How could she be willing to be abandoned by Su Mo and continue to be alone?

Just when she was trying her best and was determined to keep the person in front of her.

Su Mo's palm covered her head again. The familiar warmth made her startled slightly, and she subconsciously relaxed a little.

At this time, Su Mo spoke.

"Do you remember the second question you asked me when we first met?"

"second question?"

Hanlou thought about Su Mo's question again and immediately recalled it.

"【Search successful】, Fanlou's second question is what is the heart. The Lord God explained it before, but Fanlou failed to understand it."

The conversations with Su Mo were all called up from the memory with the highest priority, so the search speed was naturally extremely fast.

"Well now, I'll give you another answer."

Su Mo spoke slowly.

“Remember how you feel right now.”

"It is wishful thinking, it is full of contradictions, errors, prejudices and capriciousness, it makes you blind and emotionally fragile, it makes you ignore the facts..."

"And this contradiction and willfulness belong only to your heart."

After many days, he answered this question again.

And this time——

"Is this...Houlou's heart?"

The young goddess Ming pressed her chest, feeling the pain and heat resonating from her chest. She seemed to understand something, yet also seemed even more confused.

Seeing her dazed look, Su Mo took her hand again and then looked at Bo Shizun.

"Do you understand now? The reason why she can stay away from nothingness is because of her reliance."

He also gave an answer to Bo Shizun's question.

"..."

Bo Shi Zun was silent for a moment, and then he spoke.

"It's not that she doesn't know that you are not her creator, but she spontaneously wants to regard you as the creator."

"She is the one who asks all questions and is the one who craves all answers. Therefore, your identity and even the answer itself are not important. What is important is that you are willing to answer this question."

"There is no doubt that this is still an inconsistent behavior between the subjective and objective, still a cognitive misalignment, and still ignores reality..."

"But if this mistake is the reason for the birth of the heart, then your conclusion is correct. The choice of personal will is enough to resist the erosion of nothingness."

There was no need for Su Mo to explain too much, as he quickly understood what Su Mo meant with his extensive knowledge.

In fact, from the very beginning, he did not think that Fanlou's reliance was false. False reliance was not enough to resist the erosion of nothingness, not to mention a god like Fanlou who coexisted with nothingness.

He just didn't understand how Houlou could build such a strong resistance based on a wrong perception.
