Do emotions have power

If it is a sudden attack, asking this question to the people around you may make many people subconsciously feel that they have it before they understand the nature of the problem. The answer is simple. Whether it is through personal experience, witnessing, or hearing about it, most people have personally experienced the power of emotions.

It is almost a cliché to talk about the woman who bursts out of love and can lift a car in a moment to protect her children, and the berserker who is so angry that his blood rushes to the brain and displays more power than usual when facing the enemy - Similarly, except for the physical aspect, because he was unwilling to be underestimated, he worked hard and studied hard for several years, and finally successfully entered a higher education institution; because of the death of his family, the prodigal son turned back due to grief, changed his past and finally became a successful person... All of the above deeds can basically be attributed to the power of 'emotion'.

Love, anger, unwillingness, regret... It sounds like it is true. If the emotions reach the extreme, then people seem to be able to exert power beyond their imagination.

But does this really prove that emotions themselves are powerful

Joshua shook his head. This kind of 'emotion' itself does not actually have power. It is just an inducement to induce people's own potential.

To use an inappropriate analogy: when people are pushed into a hurry, they feel like they can do anything—except math problems.

Because of emotions, people can secrete adrenaline hormones and explode with powerful physical strength. They can restrain their emotions and even eliminate their instinctive laziness and instinctive bad qualities, thereby making themselves a better person... But these are inherently 'physical' Things that could have been done.

The math problem is different. If you can't do it, you just can't do it. If you suddenly know it, it's either because you have learned it before and forgotten it and recalled it driven by emotions, or you are a genius and can really rely on yourself. Deduction means learning to solve problems out of thin air without the guidance of a teacher, surpassing previous knowledge reserves. The former still falls within the category of 'it can be done', while the latter is a special case and is not included in the statistical category.

In other words, 'emotions' do not actually have power, but they can inspire people's own power. If people themselves do not have this power, then emotions cannot be elicited.

The above is only for a world without miracles.

"The power of psychic energy is derived from 'thinking' and 'belief'. It is the power of existence and a derivative of divine power... And emotions can indeed trigger psychic energy. In other words, if emotions are regarded as 'psychic energy' ' branch attributes, then the emotion itself is indeed powerful."

In the abyss of souls illuminated by the light, countless anger, resentment and curses are reverberating, and countless soul fragments are mixed together, giving birth to a twisted force that is almost psychic... At the beginning, what Joshua called the 'murderous wave' The power of glory was born from these curses. The screams and despair from the enemy were forged by warriors into weapons to kill the enemy.

Joshua held the Lund and cursed. This is his latest dose of 'emotional power'. The mixed light of black and crimson is very vivid and is dancing at this time.

In this regard, the warrior fell into deep thought.

"It's not just spiritual energy... This kind of power seems to have a quality similar to life energy... I understand!"

Since the reason was not complicated and could even be said to be very simple, Joshua quickly figured out the corresponding principle.

In fact, emotions themselves do not have power. What has power is 'spiritual energy', which is the subjective dynamism of intelligent life that is born in the initial fire and used to change the world. Any life, even a life without a soul. , can awaken the 'spiritual energy' - of course, after awakening the spiritual energy, you must have a soul, this is also an iron rule.

Just like emotions can trigger adrenal hormones, make people stronger, trigger shame and unwillingness, and make people self-reflective and self-disciplined, emotions can induce the spiritual potential contained in all intelligent life and then cause it to explode. This is also used by many schools of thought. Methods to awaken spiritual energy, such as letting people practice beside a cliff or under a waterfall, can induce the awakening of spiritual energy through emotions through reaction to danger and tolerance of pain.

Of course, this is not the only method. Psionics can be roughly divided into two categories. One is the 'passionate school' that stimulates psychic energy through intense emotions, and the other is the 'meditation school' that masters psychic energy through an ethereal mentality. ', and whether it is an intense emotion or an ethereal mentality, the essence is actually two mental states: 'active' and 'peaceful'. The emotions are just different, and there is no difference in their essence.

With a calm and objective attitude and a peaceful and gentle mood, people can also unleash their potential that cannot be unleashed in an irritable state. These principles are the same.

As for life energy... it's even simpler.

After all, this is a world of fire and steel. Any life derived from the power of steel must have a certain amount of life energy... Intense emotions can induce the secretion of adrenal hormones. If it is more intense, it is not strange to induce the awakening of life energy. -In fact, this is probably how the first warriors were born. When fighting wild beast enemies in ancient times, their emotions were pushed to the limit, and they awakened their life energy...

And the power of Joshua's soul abyss, the countless curses, and the despair and anger contained in the soul fragments, to put it bluntly, are equivalent to an external emotional stimulator, which can make Joshua additionally activate his potential, and through burning The enemy's soul fragments gave the original warrior extra spiritual energy and life energy protection. This power seems mysterious, but based on Joshua's current state of analysis, it can be completely analyzed quickly.

"So, emotions don't have power, but they do have power... Can they trigger 'spiritual energy' and 'life energy' at the same time, changing the triggers of spirit and matter... Interesting."

Joshua put down the Lund curse in his hand and let the black-red lightning sink into the soul abyss. The warrior's expression was thoughtful: "Although this road is different from what I thought, it can be walked. "

Although it is different from what he thought at the beginning, 'emotion' is not a brand-new, original supernatural power that is independent of the major supernatural powers. However, it can be used as a derivative power to create a brand new one. Extraordinary inheritance.

Just like 'Fighting Qi' and 'Power of Nature' are both extraordinary inheritances derived from the power of steel, giving birth to 'War Warriors' and 'Druids', the 'Way of Emotions' can also be derived from ' Starting from "psionic energy" and "life energy", unique extraordinary powers have evolved - for example, using faith and will to create virtual "spiritual matter", and then starting self-sublimation and fighting... In short, combining two extraordinary powers Just as a spellcaster needs to combine the three extraordinary powers of magic, elements and ether, Joshua feels that he can develop an extraordinary profession exclusive to 'spiritual energy' and 'life energy'.

Joshua stretched out his hand, and with a thought, various emotional spectrums jumped out and rotated in his palm.

[The red 'courage' and 'anger', and the 'hatred' and 'madness' lurking behind them. The holder will have extraordinary strength and explosive power, but can easily hurt himself.]

[The orange 'curiosity' and 'enthusiasm', and the 'greed' and 'indulgence' lurking behind them. The holder will have strong inspiration and observation skills, but can easily lose control.]

[The yellow 'flexibility' and 'caution', and the 'fickleness' and 'fear' lurking behind them. The holder will have good adaptability and defense, but can easily get confused.]

[The green 'tolerance' and 'patience', and the 'cowardice' and 'resentment' lurking behind them. The holder will have the best physique and endurance, but can easily lose himself.]

[Cyan's 'determination' and 'perseverance', and the 'arrogance' and 'stubbornness' lurking behind them. The holder will have extraordinary faith and decisiveness, but will easily give up thinking.]

[Blue's 'calm' and 'confidence', and the 'indifferent' and 'arrogant' lurking behind it. The holder will have extraordinary thinking and leadership, but can easily lose touch with reality.]

[Purple 'love' and 'acceptance', and 'jealousy' and 'possession' lurking behind them. The holder will have excellent coordination and affinity, but will easily go to extremes.]

And finally, the mixture of black and white means 'pure heart', pure 'hope' and pure 'despair', pure 'expectation' and pure 'curse'.

Whether it is positive or negative, emotions can arouse power. Just because this is an extraordinary world, everything has an extraordinary correspondence.

Taking a look at the nearly complete spectrum classification, Joshua clenched his fist and incorporated various colors into his body.

"This is indeed an unprecedented system of practice." He whispered to himself.

Through intense emotions, according to the nine different color classifications on the emotional spectrum, 'spiritual energy' and 'life energy' are activated at the same time, turning them into brand-new power... This brand-new professional system can completely differentiate into spellcasters. Like warriors, there are countless professional divisions, and depending on the types of psychic and life energy triggered by various emotions, professionals are good at different things.

Unlike the 'Psychic Warrior' or the 'Spiritual Exorcist Knight' who practice spiritual energy and life energy separately, spiritual energy and life energy will be mixed in this new extraordinary professional system, and spiritual energy will be mixed with life energy... Joshua did not continue to think about this aspect in detail. After all, a brand new extraordinary system cannot be thought of by just patting the head in the abyss of souls. He may later visit the Great Khan of the Star Shepherd, Canghai Xian Zhe Faina and the psychic warlock families in Xishan tried to develop this new system through research with many powerful people.

Moreover, there are more important things than creating a new extraordinary profession.

"... The Patriarch of Thakur's Annihilation Order seems to have used a similar 'mixed supernatural power'. He built an altar within his own body and summoned the majestic divine power."

Joshua raised his head and stared at the dark boundary of the Soul Abyss. The warrior's eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the void. He recalled with a frown: "In order to resist the power of me and Emperor Amos, the Patriarch finally used his divine power and spirit It can be mixed and integrated into a brand new 'divine power'... With this divine power, he can exert the full power of the 'End World Spiritual Lord' and show a terrifying power that far exceeds ordinary legends."

There is no doubt that Thakur people have taken the lead when it comes to hybrid forces! It is true that according to what other civilizations say, although the Thakur Annihilation Order is a sect, there is no 'god' to believe in. What they firmly believe in is the order's code, the prophecy of annihilation, and self-discipline. oath. This is a super-large collection of void ascetics that is close to a religion, but closer to an ascetic order than a god system.

Now it seems that the Thakur Annihilation Order may indeed have a god, but this god is not a humanized 'spirit', but an existence similar to the spiritual collective consciousness. He can act like a normal god. Divine power is obtained from the initial fire, but it does not exist as an individual, but is connected to each Thakur who believes in the dogma...

In other words, the gods of the Annihilation Order may be the 'Order' itself. Every Thakur is a part of the gods and can obtain part of the divine power, and then use the special 'divine power' at critical moments. of extraordinary power! As the most powerful psyker, the Patriarch naturally has the most and most powerful divine power.

Gaining a glimpse of the possible power nature of Thakur's Annihilation Order really lifted Joshua's spirits. What's even more exciting is the fact that 'supernormal power' can indeed be mixed!

In this world, there is no shortage of mages with magic and martial arts skills, nor is there a shortage of druids and priests who can use fighting energy to explode. It is not surprising that warriors have some spell-like abilities, or even use magic altogether. —Who doesn’t have two trump cards yet? Not to mention that psionic energy, which can be awakened through blood, does not affect the holder's practice of other extraordinary powers. Psychic mages, psionic warlocks, psionic warriors, psionic priests, and similar combinations of extraordinary professions are really amazing. .

However, these are just superficial combinations... It's like a person holding two bottles of wine, one beer, one bottle of liquor, and he can drink whichever one he wants to drink alone. The extraordinary power mixing is different. If you ignore the extremely complicated mixing process, to use the simplest and most superficial description, it is at least a cocktail, and it is also a very delicious cocktail.

"If I have to use a metaphor, it feels like nuclear fusion creates new elements, just like a supernova explosion creates gold... Although it does not go beyond the periodic table of elements, it is true that this should be 'creating a new extraordinary' "Power' is a precursor to, and even one of the most important, experiences."

Even Joshua, who had withdrawn his projection from the soul abyss and returned his consciousness to the silver world, couldn't help but feel a little jump in his heart when he thought of this: "Although, within the framework built by many sages, However, there is no doubt that exploring the possibility of this extraordinary power will indeed be of great help to my future path, and it can even be said to be a necessary prelude!”

Because there is no information and inheritance from the sages, and they do not know the truth behind the extraordinary power, although the Thakur people have mastered some methods of using extraordinary power that mix spiritual energy and divine power, it can even be said that spiritual energy and divine power have been integrated into the entire civilization system. However, they did not understand the meaning behind this action, and Joshua quickly touched the corresponding threshold through the inspiration they brought and thinking about emotions.

Although it cannot be proven that this step is the vacant realm between the legend and the sage, if you want to transcend the legend of a single path, expanding it is indeed a good choice. Joshua is not mysophobic, so he naturally does not mind it. He wanted to try another path besides the power of steel. In fact, he had already cultivated a lot of power through various techniques and from a high position.

After putting the 'emotional system' in the memo and making a corresponding plan, Joshua put it aside and left it to think about in detail in the future.

At this time, he turned his attention to his own world. The civilized heroes who had recovered from the memories of civilization, and most of them had been wiped out, leaving only a small amount of chaos remaining in the crystal obelisk. memory.
