Chapter 395 (1/2)
Lu Li sat under the sacred tree and watched the green sacred tree fruit ripen bit by bit. Not far away, the blood cloud was raging. Ning dodge and the strong plot of Datang tried hard to keep Fu Hongyan's blood god army out of the sacred tree. According to the agreement, if Fu Hongyan came in person, EVA would stop her to prevent her from swallowing Lu Li and the sacred tree fruit.
”EVA, can your plan succeed?” Lu Lei sat on the ground and couldn't help asking.
EVA's light flickered twice and said blankly, ”I don't know. According to the calculation, it is possible for us to control the body of the unicorn devil, but the variables in the process of implementing the plan are too large for anyone to have a complete grasp.”
”My previous experiment plan can perfectly control the unicorn devil! But it's not because of your packaging problem that I pushed it all down?”
”Don't talk too much. Without the help of the blood god son, the Kirin devil's endless whole is not sure to overwhelm me in all directions, so I didn't do it. But I also have to concentrate on her. When the divine tree fruit is ripe, the Kirin devil will do it anyway. Remember, swallow the fruit with my consciousness first...”
”Your essence is biased towards nothingness, which is very appropriate for the carrier, otherwise the master will not choose you to fight and defeat the unicorn demon. Because your nature is uncertain and nothingness, any new personality can be replaced smoothly without the trouble of personality conflict.”
”Human beings attach great importance to themselves. It's really... Wonderful to have you who don't care about yourself!” EVA muttered.
”Self is a false proposition. Although the LORD God wants me to forget something, under the hands and feet of your master, I still recall all strange memories... Is a new existence with your memory, emotion and copying everything about you or not you? It's like the long-standing paradox of the ship of Theseus...” Luli said calmly.
”A ship that can sail at sea for hundreds of years is due to the continuous maintenance and replacement of parts. As long as a piece of wood rots, it will be replaced, and so on, until all the functional parts are not the first ones. The question is, is the ship finally produced the same as the original ship of Theseus?”
”If you rebuild a new ship with the old parts taken from the ship of Theseus, which of the two ships is the real ship of Theseus?”
EVA replied, ”of course, both ships are!” Lu Li smiled. The existence of EVA doesn't have the consciousness of ”there should be no second me in the world”, because in calculation, plants all over the world are part of EVA and complete EVA. She has been used to the state that countless me exist at the same time.
But Lu Li didn't think so: ”in my opinion, neither of them is!”
”People can't cross the same river twice. With the flow of time, the existence of self has been dying and reborn. I just understand this truth and don't stick to self... Because things like self are bound to die.”
”So I don't care about becoming another being.”
”In fact, you have been simulating human nature in front of others!” EVA exposed: ”under your skin, it is actually quite empty, and can even be called psychosis. In a sense, people like you are also terrible... No wonder you can't control the Kirin demon even if you have a fight to defeat the martial spirit... So you don't reject becoming a Kirin demon.”
”Yes, but I'm not without feelings. For my teammates and my responsibility, I can't become a Kirin demon... 'I' can die, but 'Lu Li' can't die. He is the sustenance of responsibility, obligation, emotion and memory. Therefore, even if we become one, integrate God, Buddha and demon into a new self, he still needs to inherit everything of 'Lu Li'.”
”Including responsibility, emotion, memory and love! In addition, everything about myself is insignificant to me...”
The fruit of the divine tree slowly became mature from green and astringent, and the blood cloud not far away became more and more restless.
