Wizard: I have ten trillion nanomachines

That is why the fourth position is called the "threshold of divinity".

Its true test and essence lie in this.

It is not a "quantitative" hurdle that can be overcome by "more power," "more complex structures," or "higher-level stacking"—those are the rules of the game for the third order and below.

The fourth position represents a fundamental qualitative change in the "mode of existence".

The third order and below belong to the realm of "possession" and "construction".

Those of the order "possess" power by understanding, mastering, and constructing various rules, and use this power to define and solidify their "existence".

Their "power" is almost equivalent to their "system of rules".

Their cognition, behavior, and even self-awareness are all deeply embedded within the framework of rules they understand and use.

They are beings shaped and defined by power.

The fourth order, on the other hand, requires a shift from "defining what is owned" to "becoming the source of definition itself".

It requires that beings be able to "stand outside of all constructible rule systems, while still being able to understand and use them without hindrance."

The symbolic meaning of "unreachable cardinality" in mathematics lies precisely in this.

It cannot be reached from below through any "constructible" operation (power set, limit); its existence must be "directly acknowledged or established" for it to become part of your theoretical system.

It comes from a different "logical level".

Mapped to the level of existence, this means that to "reach" the fourth position, one cannot rely on the existing ladder built by constructible rules (power, cognitive framework).

One must either "jump down" or "see through" the ladder itself, realizing that one's own "existence" can have a more fundamental "foothold" that does not depend on the ladder.

This "foothold" is the state of "inherent completeness" of the primordial supreme being.

Existence itself is stable, perfect, and requires no external definition.

Starting from this point of view, and then "looking back" at those constructible rules, we can understand them, use them, but no longer treat them as the same.

This is the true beginning of "divinity".

False gods or powerful beings are bound by their own power and perception.

I am the Lord of Thunder

I am a weaver of cause and effect

I am the embodiment of infinite possibilities...

Their "divinity" is their most powerful set of rules.

For true gods and those who transcend thresholds, power is merely an expression, and cognition is just a tool.

I wield the Thunder, but I am not the Thunder.

I weave cause and effect, but cause and effect do not define me.

I embody infinite possibilities, but possibilities are not my prison...

Their "divinity" lies in that unspeakable "existence itself," which is able to freely choose which rules to apply without being fixed by any rules.

Luo Kunlun now understands that his construction of the Court of Possibilities, his analysis of countless rules, and even his touching of the boundaries of ℵ_ω were all just preparations for "tools" and accumulation of "materials".

What he needs to do now is to take that most crucial step.

Find and establish a firm foothold that is complete on its own, independent of all tools and materials.

That is, to transform one's own essence from "a sophisticated creation constructed from cognition and power" into "a silent source from which cognition and power arise and return."

Once this transformation is complete, he will naturally "stand" in the fourth position.

At that time, all his existing powers (such as the Court of Possibility) will not disappear, but will instead unleash unprecedented potential and subtlety because of a more stable and free "launching base".

Therefore, the fourth position is called the "threshold of divinity" because it separates two fundamentally different realms of existence.

On one side is the “exquisite user and embodiment of the rules”, and on the other side is the “unhindered master and source of the rules”.

Overcoming it requires no longer the accumulation of strength, but a radical self-awareness revolution that points to the core of existence.

But this is difficult.

The difficulty of overcoming this challenge can be described as "rebuilding the aircraft mid-flight without crashing."

Or, to put it another way, "while maintaining the normal operation of a vast empire, the political system was quietly transformed from monarchical autocracy into the highest form of anarchism."

Its difficulty far exceeds imagination.

All the thinking tools, logical frameworks, and even the "self" consciousness of those who achieve success later in life are forged by the system (constructible rules, hierarchical cognition) that they need to transcend.

This is like trying to modify the shape of a hammer using the hammer itself, but all your modification ideas are based on the existing concept of "what a hammer should look like".

You try to describe the "world after abandoning language" using language, but the more precise your description, the more you rely on language and the further you stray from your goal.

You use your eyes to search for "light beyond sight," but your search behavior itself is guided by vision.

...

Use "constructible thinking" to understand "non-constructible existence," and use "purpose-driven" to achieve "a state of no purpose."

This is a logical dead end; every attempt may only result in going in circles, or even reinforcing the existing cognitive cage.

This vicious cycle of logic is the most solid and invisible wall of sighs that stands before Lokunlun.

During his long process of deduction and introspection, he encountered this wall countless times.

This wall also fundamentally explains why, in the primordial universe, gods were born gods and humans were forever just humans.

In the primitive and direct rule environment of the primordial universe, the gap between "gods" (the original existence) and "humans" (or other lower-level existences) was defined from the very beginning by the essential difference in their "basic points of existence".

They exist in the original state, and from the moment of their birth, they are directly "self-sufficient".

There is no need to learn "how to exist," because "existence" itself is their entire starting point and foundation.

They later learned to apply the rules and increase their power, just as children learn to use their naturally healthy limbs—it was an expansion of function, not an acquisition of essence.

For them, "divinity" is not a threshold to be crossed, but an innate quality.

For humans, it is a process that begins.

They begin in a vulnerable, limited, and highly dependent state.

Their "existence" is built up little by little through interaction with the world, through cognition, trial and error, and accumulation.

They spent their entire lives "becoming" something—becoming strong, becoming wise, becoming the master of the rules.

Their "self" is this ever-building castle.

For them, "divinity" (the inherently complete state of being) is located absolutely upstream in their cognitive and constructive processes. It is the "source" that all their efforts try to reach but seem to be forever untouchable due to the limitations of the tools themselves.

Therefore, in the primordial universe, whether an being is a "god" or a "human" is almost predetermined when its consciousness first arises.

This is not a matter of power, but a fundamental difference in modes of existence.

Humans can become incredibly powerful through various means, but their power is always built upon "construction" and "possession," and their essential existence remains that of "precise creations" shaped by later generations.

They can come infinitely close to the outward manifestation of "God," but they can hardly reach the inner core of "God" that is "perfectly self-sufficient without relying on any manifestation."

A path begins at its end (which is inherently complete) and extends outward to explore and manifest.

Another path begins at the starting point (without dependence), constructing the self inward and attempting to trace back to the source.

Luo Kunlun is now facing the most difficult and fundamental bottleneck on this path.

How can we use all the tools we gain in the process of "constructing ourselves" to achieve that state of "no need for construction"?

He tried countless methods, but all of them hit that invisible wall of logic.

By creating a "blank simulation," the "blank" itself became the new constructive objective.

Recursive self-referential resolution results in the interventioning "self" always being the final boundary of the process.

.....

Every attempt proves in vain that as long as the act of "trying" still stems from the "self" that wants to "cross over" and is driven by constructible logic, then all efforts are merely using the language of the system to argue for something outside the system, like trying to build a ladder to freedom with the bricks of a prison.

The real dilemma is that the "self" that is "trying" is itself the core of the "prison" that needs to be transcended.

Time seems to lose its meaning in the midst of this predicament.

"Could it be that the fourth position... is truly something that can only be possessed at birth, and if one is not born with it, then one can never have it..."

His consciousness was trapped in an endless predicament, and that invisible wall of sighs repeatedly crushed his perception.

He looked at the scars from his countless past attempts.

The blank simulation ultimately becomes the target of construction, recursively referring to being trapped in the boundaries of the self. Even the act of stripping away the cognitive framework becomes a prisoner driven by the purpose of "wanting to strip away".

The “Lokunlun” that attempted to break through, the consciousness that analyzed the continuum, constructed the tower of transcendence, and touched the ℵ_ω boundary, is itself a crystallization forged by constructible rules.

His thinking is a weaving of cardinal and ordinal numbers, his logic is an extension of the ZFC axioms, and his self-awareness is an imprint built step by step from low dimension to seven dimension.

This "self" is the prison he wants to break free from, the hardest core brick of the Wailing Wall.

Tools are cages, and the self is the prison.

Does the existence of the future truly mean there's no possibility of ever touching the fourth position?

The primordial supreme beings are born standing on an unattainable foundation; their inherent existence is a natural gift.

And he, a newcomer who builds upon rules and grows through cognition, can only be trapped in the cage of "possession" and "construction," becoming an extreme user of rules rather than the master of rules.
