Zheng Zha briefly explained the concept of Styx. In fact, he only began to know about it when his strength level reached that point, and he did not receive the orthodox series of knowledge inheritance.
The River Styx that Zheng Zha knows is not a real place. It does not exist in a specific place. To be more precise, the so-called River Styx should be more like a certain concept, such as life, such as death. , who would ask or describe life and death in Asia, America or on Mars? It is impossible.
Similarly, in Zheng Zha's words and descriptions, as well as the meaning he tried to express clearly, Chu Hao realized this concept, that is, the Styx itself is not actually a real and objective substance or place. , the so-called Styx is a concept of the process of death and destiny for life in the entire multiverse. Just like when a person is injured on the battlefield, he will be described as slightly injured, seriously injured, or fatally injured. He is about to die and is taken directly to the ammunition depot. , this series describes it as such, and this is the definition of Styx.
In fact, this also somewhat answered Chu Hao’s doubts about some myths in the real world. Just as Chu Hao had wondered before, as early as thousands of years ago, or even thousands of years ago, there was actually no such thing among the various civilizations on the earth at that time. Contact, even if there is one, is pitifully small with the migration of nomads. Civilizations in various regions of the earth are isolated from each other and develop independently. However, it is strange that some of their religious myths have almost similar or identical records, and death Finally, the soul of the dead will inevitably see or pass through a river, and this is one of them.
Regardless of ancient Europe, ancient Asia, even some islands, or some indigenous myths in the Americas, they all have the same description, that is, after death, the soul of the dead will inevitably see or pass through a river, which flows in various places. Civilization myths all have different specific names to call it, but basically it can be collectively called the River Styx.
There are almost countless ways of external manifestation of energy in this world. Let’s not talk about the four basic forces. These are the same forces in most worlds in the multiverse. There are others, such as Dou Qi, which is also a part of energy. Seed, your magic is also a type of energy, as well as internal force and true energy. These are actually all energy, and more high-end ones, such as true energy, magic power, etc., are just highly condensed forms of energy. , this universe is actually composed of four basic elements, time, space, matter, and energy, which I call earth, wind, water, and fire. But relatively speaking, time and space are difficult to control and use. You can put time Space and space are regarded as implicit elements, while the explicit elements are matter and energy. The two can be converted into each other. This has scientific basis in the real world, and the mass-energy equation is its explanation.
When he said these words, chaos exploded in Zheng Zha's eyes. First there was light and darkness, appearing and disappearing, and then earth, wind, water and fire emerged from it, and then all things were derived. Chu Hao happened to look at Zheng Zha and spoke, He was stunned by this scene for a while. It wasn't until Zheng Zha finished speaking and reminded him that he suddenly woke up. However, the scene just now made him feel that he had forgotten but not forgotten, and he had an indescribable sense of clarity.
Compared with living beings, the hidden attributes of the universe are too difficult to understand, difficult to describe, and too difficult to see and understand their reality. This is the limitation of living beings. After all, we are composed of basic explicit elements, and the same is true. Manifest elements provide everything necessary for our survival. The life form itself is the evolution of manifest elements in the multiverse, so for us, what we can really master, or what we can best master at the beginning, is actually matter. It is different from energy, and the two are also different. Matter is inert. Once energy forms matter, the matter itself has been finalized. Unless there is great energy to transform it again, otherwise matter itself is matter, but energy is different. Energy has It has great plasticity, so generally speaking, the first step in the transcendence of the living body itself is to start with energy.
Chu Hao listened to these words very seriously, and he could tell that Zheng Zha was not only explaining the River Styx to him, but also a large part of the words were explaining the way of strength to him. This is a super strong person, similar to Zheng Zha Although a powerful person like Zha personally explains it, although it may not necessarily be a path suitable for Chu Hao himself, it will definitely save Chu Hao from making big detours in the future. This is no less than the preaching in Xia Xia.
That's a long way to go. Zheng Zha also stopped there, because now Chu Hao's strength is only at the peak of the third level, and it is estimated that he will touch the edge of the fourth level. Talking too much will be harmful to him, so Zheng Zha continued: I mentioned it just now, The basic element of energy itself is active and has great plasticity. The types of energy it can evolve are simply endless. For example, faith is a type of energy, that is, what you believe in your heart. The belief itself is actually a Of course, for an ordinary living body, the energy it believes is so small that it is almost negligible, maybe a very small number of tiny particles, such as atoms and molecules.
Chu Hao nodded. He knew something about this. In the real world, some scientists have done research to verify beliefs, beliefs, or the power of thoughts. The experimental process was to freeze pure water and completely seal it. Air and external force interference are then divided into many groups, and several groups are allowed to be viewed by people with various moods. Yes, literally, they are viewed with eyes, and then after a short period of viewing, they are Completely frozen into ice.
After that, the seal was unsealed. Among these groups, the crack patterns produced by the ice cubes that were looked at by people in a good mood were the most beautiful, similar to snowflakes, while the patterns formed by the groups without anyone looking at them were almost identical. , similar to those printed from a mold, and when viewed by people in a bad mood, the patterns are torn apart and look terrible.
Zheng Zha added: In many planes, or most planes in the multiverse, gods will be born. I don’t know how they are born. Many of them are natural spirits, and many are animal spirits. There are also some sublimated gods from humans or alien races. These gods all have the same characteristic, that is, they are all bound to this plane and cannot go to other planes. At the same time, their power and living conditions, It depends on the number and strength of the gods who believe in them in this plane. If this plane falls, then they will inevitably fall with it. I call them indigenous gods, and their food is the power of faith.
Similarly, these powers of faith are not all those that believe in gods. There are also many beliefs, beliefs, longings, etc. that have precipitated throughout the multiverse, and then produced substances, places, lives, etc. that conform to their concepts. I Such existences are called conceptual existences. For example, I know several conceptual existences. Styx is one of them, hell is also one of them, and there are also the elemental world of fire, the elemental world of earth, the elemental world of wind, and the elemental world of water. It even includes the concept of lofty ideals, such as the luminous paradise, etc. These are actually conceptual existences. They are all thoughts and concepts generated by the life of the entire multiverse. These infinite lives form infinite energy, which is then embodied. Come out real.
The body of the Styx is connected to Hell. Hell is an extremely dark, extremely cold, and extremely terrifying existence. I have never been in it, but during the battle to defeat the Titan Ancestor, I stayed in the interlayer between reality and hell. That It is not a place where life should exist. You can imagine that the hell in religious mythology is 100 million times worse and more terrifying. That is the real hell. Moreover, the entire hell is sealed with a terrifying seal. You can’t get out from inside, and you can’t get out from outside. If you can't get in, to put it simply, it's a place like the literal meaning, a prison.
The only connection between hell and the multiverse is the River Styx. This is a conceptual existence projected across the entire multiverse. It is said to be a river, but it can also be thought of as the mezzanine created by the fusion of hell and reality. When Zeus and the others broke through After the connection between the Styx projection and this plane is established, the great power of the Styx itself will pull the underworld of this plane to fall towards it. Eventually, the underworld of this world will be thrown into the Styx itself, and then be pulled into hell. , by then the gods are definitely dead, but my partners are also dead. Even I have absolutely no way to save them. Only by truly opening up the world and creating a universe can we break through. I can't seal the hell, and neither can any life form I know, not even the ancestor of the Titans. Otherwise, he would have escaped from hell long ago.
Similarly, this plane will also collapse. I think you have already seen that this plane is collapsing. After losing the essence of such a large plane in the underworld, this plane will begin to gradually disintegrate, but sooner or later
At this point, Zheng Zha looked at Chu Hao with burning eyes, and Chu Hao thought for a moment and nodded without hesitation: I understand, I still have a partner in hell, and I want to resurrect mine. Companion, the mission of our team is to save this plane, so we must prevent the underworld from being pulled down. Our goals are the same. There is no need for us to become enemies, but there is one thing I must make clear now because you are too strong. , even if you tell me the past of the Zhongzhou team, but I also have my concerns. Once I trust you without reservation and cooperate to save your partner, at that time my life and that of my teammates will only be Depending on your mood, you may think that you are an absolutely good person, but I am not 100% sure, and I do not want to entrust the lives of myself and my teammates to your mood and your good and evil. I hope to be restrained, Make sure you don't blow us away once you succeed, so I hope you can point
Chu Hao originally planned to ask Zheng Zha to swear at the River Styx. This was the only way he could think of to restrain Zheng Zha. Just when he was about to say this, he suddenly saw Zheng Zha stunned for a moment, and then gritted his teeth. Carefully, as if holding the most precious treasure in the world, he took off the rope from his wrist. He originally planned to take out one or two of them, but in the end he gritted his teeth and pulled it out. All the ropes were handed to Chu Hao.
This is my treasure, this is the treasure that I am willing to protect with my life, faith, and everything. The rope itself is very fragile. According to your magic, a fireball can burn them all. I will give them to you now. , all for you. If I break my oath not to harm you in the end, you can destroy them all, but if I complete my oath of cooperation, I hope you can return them to me, and I want you to promise that you Use your life to protect them
Chu Hao took the rope in a daze and asked curiously: What is this
The reason why I fight for it, for it to become stronger, for it to be invincible, for it to be able to face all the creatures in the world and win the battle, this is
One Piece Rope, the last belief entrusted to me by my friends
