The "charging field" on the first floor is the designated dining place of the Beyond Temple, and no delivery service is provided. Ash and others can only eat at the charging field. Although he has been here for two days, Ash still finds it difficult to accept this dining environment - the uniform eating sounds, no free noise in the air, Ash sitting among them, like a social idler who wants to find an Internet cafe to play games all night, but sits down and finds that the people around him are all workers who come to work overtime all night because the power is cut off in the nearby company. The atmosphere is too serious and solemn, so Ash dare not take Igula's food these two days. In addition, there is another thing that Ash finds difficult to accept: they are really charging. It is necessary to describe the appearance of the Beyond believers here - unlike the ascetic style of the Fire believers, the Beyond believers are very futuristic, with silver-white metal colonies on the back of the neck, ears, lumbar spine, elbows, and many other parts of the body. There are breathing lights with flowing lines on the colonies, plus wearing uniform blue and white uniforms, lightning patterns on the skin, they look like future warriors who have traveled back to the end of the world. These colonial suits certainly have their uses, but they also consume electricity during normal times, so the believers' meal time is also charging time. There are many charging cables under the table. As soon as they sit down, they will automatically charge, and electricity will flow through their bodies - this is even more important than eating. For example, Ash only eats and does not charge, just like eating instant noodles in an Internet cafe without turning on the computer. Compared with Ash's restlessness, Igula and Harvey seem very natural. It goes without saying that the fraudster can still talk and laugh even if he is thrown into hell. This little scene is not worth mentioning; Harvey is even more ruthless. As a ruthless person who can sleep and eat on a pile of corpses, Ash really can't think of any scene in the world that can affect the appetite of the necromancer. As they were eating, a middle-aged woman next to them suddenly said, "Three travelers, you still have points left to stay. Please leave as soon as possible within the deadline, otherwise you will be forcibly expelled. If you want to join the Temple of Transcendence, please report to the new students' office on the 32nd floor before 17:00." Ash and the others were no longer surprised that any believer could become the person in charge. Igula asked, "Can we visit the interior of the Temple of Transcendence or its achievements first, and then decide whether to formally follow Dafa?" The middle-aged woman immediately shook her head, and after a moment of silence, she said, "No, if you want to gain the protection of the Temple of Transcendence, you must attend the service that night and complete the following ceremony, and work with us for transcendental consciousness, otherwise you will still be treated as a foreign traveler." "Understood." The Fraudster said, "We will seriously consider it in the remaining time. By the way, do you have any needs? If we want to continue trading, we may be able to get you the supplies you want." At this time, the middle-aged woman seemed not to hear them talking, and lowered her head to continue eating. A few seconds later, a man entered the dining hall and handed a document to Igula, then left without looking back. Igula took a look and saw a material demand list with pictures and texts. In addition to common resources, it also included magic spirits, heritage creations, mechanical parts, and even alien populations. He raised his eyebrows. Just from this demand list, he could analyze what high-value items there were in the Senluo wasteland. "I'm done eating." Harvey picked up the plate and said, "I'm going to smoke a pack of cigarettes before going back." Igula: "There are smoke alarms everywhere here. You can't smoke in the bathroom, right?" "I found a place without alarms, and it's connected to the sunlight of the landmark..." The necromancer said something that was inconsistent with his identity: "I want to take Alice to bask in the sun. We are both a little calcium deficient." "I'm going too!" Ash quickly swallowed the rest of the food. "You're going to smoke too?" Igula frowned and looked at Ash. "I want to go out in the sun, too!" Ash said, "I'll leave it to you to bring Tamashi food!" "I did it last time and the time before that. You just don't want to bring food..." Tamashi didn't want to come to the cafeteria to eat. It wasn't because he couldn't stand the atmosphere here, but for religious reasons - he said that the followers of the Crow Killing Sect couldn't eat with others. He didn't explain too much, but Ash and the others had already come up with many reasons: 'Refusing to socialize with pagans can enhance the cohesion within the sect', 'You will reveal your flaws when eating', 'The original Crow Killing Sect was an autistic social phobia'... Anyway, it wasn't an unbearable shortcoming, and Ash and the others were willing to take care of Tamashi's religious beliefs. It's just that the charging station doesn't provide delivery service, so they have to bring their own lunch boxes. Ash always refused to bring food, not only because he was lazy, but also because he wanted to see the trickster carefully put the food in the lunch box and arrange it on the plate, which was neat and beautiful. For some reason, this scene always made Ash feel very funny. He actually wanted Igula to bring food, but the fraudster obviously would not indulge the cult leader's little willfulness. Ash and Harvey left the cafeteria and took the elevator. They happened to catch a train filled with believers in uniform. They walked in silently, and Harvey pressed the button for the 95th floor. A few minutes later, when Ash came out of the elevator, he immediately leaned against the wall and gasped for air. Harvey looked at him strangely and asked in confusion, "Did someone fart in there just now?" "No, I'm not holding my breath." Ash waved his hand and said, "But don't you feel depressed? Staying in a narrow elevator with them... If it was just a few seconds, I could still hold on, but this time I stayed for a few minutes and I really can't stand it." "Depressed?" Harvey walked in front and motioned for him to follow, saying, "What's so depressing? Can't you just treat them as a group of corpses?" "If they were corpses, it wouldn't matter to me," Ash sighed, "but the problem is, they are human beings, it's just..."It's just that they don't want to be human anymore." Harvey couldn't wait to take out a cat grass cigarette and put it in his mouth, saying in a calm tone. Because although the Four Pillars of God, Crow Killing, and Fire Tribulation religions all have their inhuman aspects, they are generally understandable, so Ash quickly integrated into this Senluo land. It was not until he met the Temple of Transcendence that he realized that he would always be an outsider. As the main sect of the Qinri Alliance, the Temple of Transcendence is already a very lawful and kind force. It can be seen from its rules and regulations for receiving traveling merchants that they have gained the trust of many forces. It must be mentioned here that the Fire Tribulation Temple actually belonged to the evil camp before, specializing in robbing traveling merchants, and no one was willing to trade with them. However, even for this lawful force recognized by everyone, the concept of the Temple of Transcendence is extremely radical: transcending consciousness. What does it mean? The Transcendence Law believes that wisdom and consciousness are not linked. Consciousness is actually a constraint on intelligent creatures. If they want to evolve into a more advanced race, they must transcend consciousness and shed their ego. It sounds like nonsense at first, but they have a self-consistent logical system: when magicians learn any skills, they must rely on consciousness to actively learn and digest, but when magicians have completely mastered the skills, they need to abandon consciousness to better perform the skills. In the field of art, musicians will not think about what note they will play next, but play by feeling alone; in the field of combat, swordsmen will not think about where they will attack next. In the instant confrontation that cannot be wrong, the swordsman's thinking process has ended before the consciousness has any idea. The Transcendent Sect believes that consciousness is like the guide for newcomers in the game, the baby's walker, and the instructions for use of the product. It is a stage that intelligent creatures must go through, but it is only a stage. Consciousness can lead to wisdom, but wisdom does not need consciousness. After the initial gestation of wisdom, consciousness becomes a burden instead. Those distractions, desires, cravings, and emotions are all obstacles that prevent intelligent creatures from continuing to improve. The ideal of the Transcendent Sect is that everyone sheds their ego, transcends consciousness, and evolves into a more intelligent existence. Although the ideal of this sect is outrageous, there have been many outrageous ideals in the Senluo Land, and it does not owe it this. It stands to reason that this ideal of being three steps ahead of the times will soon be drowned in the fiercely competitive wasteland, but the Transcendental Cult has found their best utopia - the intact Gray Fox God Era Building. In this building, there is also an intelligent computing center. As long as the consciousness is connected to the center, people do not need to communicate through words, and can directly convey their meaning to each other accurately; and no matter what you encounter, you can ask for help from the center, and the center will immediately provide you with a solution. Ash and his friends speculated that this building may have been operating a service industry in the past, probably a hotel apartment or something like that, and the intelligent computing center may be a butler system. But in the wasteland era, the intelligent computing center has become a great container for transcendental consciousness. The idea of the Transcendental Cult is not complicated: they let all believers connect to the intelligent computing center, gradually reduce the influence of self-consciousness, and hand over all actions to the intelligent center until the self is completely dissolved, so that even if they do not connect to the computing center, they can transcend the constraints of consciousness and raise their intelligence to a new level. In order to achieve this goal, they planted peripherals on themselves and engraved lightning patterns on themselves, just to allow the computing center to control themselves more thoroughly. In theory, the computing center is not allowed to control living people, but they are not "legal citizens" at all. This disadvantage has become a loophole for them to bypass security restrictions. That's why Ash feels so depressed in the cafeteria and elevator, because although the transcendent believers look like people, feel like people, and are people inside, they have gradually become non-human. It is also because of this that all transcendent believers can be regarded as one. Everyone they meet can become a spokesperson for the sect, and the aunt in the cafeteria is also qualified to discuss big business with them worth thousands of gold coins. Believers are just carriers of the intelligent center, and all important actions are decided by the intelligent center. However, the intelligent center has also become a shackle for the Transcendent Temple. After all, all believers have to stay in the building to access the center. They can't leave the building at all. Invisibly, this sect is also locked in the building. Unless the first evolver really appears, the Transcendent Sect is nothing more than a dozen generations of fantasy. Suddenly, Ash squinted his eyes and found himself in an indoor grassland, with a blazing... sun above his head? "The sun is fake." Harvey lit a cat grass cigarette, took out the coffin from the space card and called Alice to get up: "But the sunlight is real. It seems to be reflected from the surface of the earth. It may also be a miracle of light magic... I don't quite understand these things." Ash took a deep breath of refreshing air, looked at the green grass in front of him, felt the gentle sunlight kissing his face, and said excitedly: "I'll go downstairs to find Igula and Tamashi!" "Why?" "There is no why... You should have told us earlier that there is such a good place, and you actually wanted to eat it all by yourself without telling us!" "What I think is good may not be good to you." Harvey sat under the shade of the tree, and Alice picked up her skirt and sat next to him: "What they think is good may not be good to you." Ash blinked: "Beating around in circles is not your style. Have you also learned bad things from Igula?" "Do I still need to learn from him?" Harvey exhaled a round of smoke rings: "On the contrary, you, have you learned bad things from him?" "What do you want to say?" "Do you trust Igula?" The necromancer asked seriously: "Who is he to you?"
