“Here it comes!!!” Gu Yi’s face was more solemn than ever before… She always had only one expression, but her eyes seemed to contain countless emotions, and everyone could see what they wanted to see from her eyes.
This is the kind of person who seems to feel as if nothing in this world can really cause her any disturbance.
But now, her expression was frighteningly solemn... Now she looked like a normal human being.
Gu Yi took a deep breath and turned to look at his disciples.
The Supreme Sorcerer has never been a title that represents power. This title is not an emperor, nor a king... It does contain a lot, but it has never been a tool to abuse power. It is a responsibility.
Therefore, over the years, there has never been a dispute among wizards for the title of Supreme Wizard... Anyone who has a little understanding of the meaning of this title will know that this thing is a huge trap!
Once you put it on, you will be busy for it all your life without stopping for a moment.
This also results in that any Supreme Sorcerer will become indifferent and inhuman... This is also the reason why every Supreme Sorcerer will find a successor as soon as possible and then die quickly.
too tired.
At the same time, they found that their essence as human beings was disappearing rapidly. They were losing their anchor in the world. Many Supreme Sorcerers even speculated that they would eventually turn into humanoid machines that had completely abandoned emotions.
From a biological perspective, humans are living creatures. Like other living creatures, humans also have basic physiological needs and survival instincts. These needs and instincts drive humans to find food, protect themselves, reproduce, etc. Therefore, it can be said that humans are living creatures with physiological needs. However, emotion is one of the unique characteristics of humans. Emotion refers to people's inner experience and reaction to external environment, events and experiences. Emotion is one of the important components of human socialization. It helps humans communicate and understand each other, as well as build interpersonal relationships and social networks. People without emotions may lack connection and interaction with others, which affects their social skills and survival ability.
However, from another perspective, emotions are not necessary for humans. Some people may be born without emotional responses, or gradually lose the ability to experience emotions as they grow up. These people may not be influenced by society and culture, nor will they receive attention and evaluation from others. In this case, they may be more focused on satisfying their physiological needs and survival instincts without the need for emotional interaction and communication. Therefore, from different perspectives, there is no clear answer to the question of whether people without emotions are still people. From a biological perspective, humans are creatures with physiological needs; from a social and cultural perspective, humans are creatures with emotional experiences and responses. Therefore, the question of whether people without emotions are still people depends on how we define the concept of "people".
When they become a machine that is only used to complete tasks, what is the use of them being the Supreme Sorcerer?
It would be better to leave the body early and let the soul return to the inner world.
This is definitely a very, very good place for the Supreme Mage. Maintaining the Great Guardian is definitely not an easy job. This thing can crush the Supreme Mage's soul into pieces. This thing has huge benefits for all mankind, but it has no benefit at all for the Supreme Mage.
Can you achieve immortality?
Haha, "eternal life" is a word that fascinates people. From ancient times to the present, how many kings, princes, generals and ministers have given everything for these two words?
Everyone hopes that they can live forever, but is immortality really a good thing? Is immortality a gift or a curse? What is the meaning of life? No one knows the answer, but every life will eventually die, and no creature is an exception. Although organisms can continue to reproduce, each individual is independent, and resisting death is the instinct of organisms. All organisms are unwilling to face death. In the face of death, organisms will burst out with unimaginable potential. So, why does life not choose immortality, but choose to pass on its genes by reproducing offspring? From a biological point of view, the meaning of the existence of organisms is to reproduce, in other words, to pass on their genes. From this perspective, immortality may not be a good thing. For example, the life span of Greenland sharks can reach more than 500 years. Scientists have discovered a 512-year-old shark, which means it has lived from the Ming Dynasty to today. These sharks live in the cold deep sea. Because of the special environment of the deep sea, their metabolism is very slow, and because of the lack of natural enemies, their life span is extremely long. They only reach adulthood at the age of 156. If they want to reproduce, they need to live for more than a century. However, living so long is not a good thing. Most sharks have copepod parasites in their eyes, which can cause blindness. Fortunately, they do not need particularly good eyesight in the deep sea, otherwise these sharks may become extinct because of these parasites.
The longer these sleeper sharks live, the higher the chance of being parasitized. At the same time, because of their long lifespan, they need to endure the pain of parasitism in their eyes for a long time, which is hard for us to imagine. So immortality may not be a good thing. Because immortality does not mean that they will not get sick. Over a long period of time, the chance of being troubled by diseases is higher than that of ordinary creatures. At the same time, because of their long lifespan, they may have to endure pain for a long time like sleeper sharks.
Therefore, immortality may not be a good thing, but a painful curse. From a physics point of view, the existence of life is to fight against entropy increase, constantly obtain negative entropy from the surrounding to reduce its own entropy increase, but no matter how hard life tries, it is impossible to stop entropy increase, it can only slow down the process of entropy increase, so that the maximum entropy comes later. For life, the maximum entropy is death. This is destined to make immortality impossible no matter how hard we try! Because immortality is equal to infinite time, and infinite time is equal to infinite possibilities. For example, an immortal creature appears on the earth, it can be forever young and will not be troubled by aging. But there will still be many things that threaten this creature, such as asteroids hitting the earth, earthquakes, tsunamis and other natural disasters. They may have an impact on this creature. After all, this creature is only immortal, not indestructible. Even if this creature survives these disasters by using scientific and technological means. Then 50 billion years later, the sun will leave the main sequence star state and begin to expand continuously, causing the earth to leave the habitable zone of the galaxy. The earth will become extremely hot, and the immortal creature will have no way at this time.
In infinite time, any tiny possibility will be magnified, so it is impossible for immortal creatures to exist. And from the perspective of evolution, immortality is not a good thing. The reason why organisms choose to reproduce is that in the reproduction of generations, the genes of organisms can change according to the environment and better adapt to the surrounding environment. At this time, the longer the lifespan of the organism, the weaker the adaptability when the environment changes, because the longer the lifespan of the organism, the weaker the reproductive ability. It is impossible for organisms with extremely long lifespan and extremely strong reproductive ability to appear. The appearance of such organisms is a disaster for the ecosystem and will eventually lead to self-destruction. There are also the famous immortal creatures-the lighthouse jellyfish. They can return from adulthood to juvenile bodies, but this can only be achieved under the right environment. It is not something that the lighthouse jellyfish can control at will, and the lighthouse jellyfish itself is very fragile. When faced with changes in the outside world, it is easy to die. Therefore, the life of immortal creatures is far from being as chic as we imagine. On the contrary, they will experience a lot of torture over a long period of time, so we say that immortality is more like a "curse"! In infinite time, there will be infinite disasters.
But for the Supreme Sorcerer, this curse is real.
Likewise, they become more and more indifferent as time goes by, as if nothing can cause them to fluctuate.
The same is true for Gu Yi. She will still be responsible to her disciples, but she will not have any extra emotions. Maybe she is numb or tired, but those disciples come and go, and it has always been like this. She will not be affected by the death of her disciples.
But at this moment, a rare ripple actually arose deep in Gu Yi's heart.
"Next... we may all die, so I won't force you to stay."
It was rare for Gu Yi to speak to everyone in a very complicated tone.
Kai and Thor were a little confused, as they had no idea what Ancient One and the wizards of Kamar-Taj were going to do.
"This is our duty, Master." Everyone stood in place, and Mordo stood up and spoke on behalf of everyone.
No one left, of course some people hesitated, but every Kamar-Taj wizard was told what their duties were when they became apprentices. Including this spell, when they were learning, the predecessors would repeatedly warn them that once the Supreme Wizard decided to use this spell, the wizards of Kamar-Taj would be ready to sacrifice themselves!
This is the price. Becoming a mage and mastering the true truth of this world is not without cost.
They will no longer be just themselves, their life and soul will belong to the whole world.
Including Strange.
In fact, Strange was very hesitant. He felt that if things really got out of control, they should perhaps consider retreating and then plan for follow-up.
After all, he is a modern man and a sophisticated egoist.
Refined egoism is a derogatory term that describes a type of person who exhibits a clear tendency toward selfishness in their behavior. They may use various means to pursue their own interests, while also displaying a self-absorbed, self-centered quality. Their behavior often focuses only on their own interests without considering the well-being of others or the collective. However, it should be made clear that not all behaviors that pursue personal interests are negative. In normal personal development and social interaction, a certain degree of self-interest is inevitable and reasonable. People have the right to pursue their dreams and goals and achieve them without violating the law and social morality.
Therefore, he will not be as convinced of the doctrine of Kamar-Taj as Mordo, and his principles and positions will be more flexible.
Of course, this doesn't mean that Strange hasn't made any progress.
Otherwise he would have left long ago.
Although he was a little hesitant, Strange finally stayed.
Where Strange couldn't see, Mordo and Ancient One glanced at Strange out of the corner of their eyes.
They were all very pleased with the young man.
Strange has talent, and it can even be said that his talent is extremely outstanding. He can learn spells that others may not learn in decades in just a few years, which is enough to explain everything. But whether he can really become the Sorcerer Supreme is not the most important thing.
Of course talent is important, all Supreme Sorcerers are powerful, but it is not that important.
After all, there is the Great Guardian to back you up. As long as you are not a really bad wizard, with the blessing of the Great Guardian, you can basically walk around freely on this small piece of land on Earth.
Therefore, what the Supreme Master really values is one’s character.
If Strange had chosen to retreat just now, Ancient One and Mordo would not be too disappointed, but they would not consider letting Strange become the Sorcerer Supreme.
This position is not something that ordinary people can hold.
In fact, it is too far-fetched to consider this now. After all, Strange has only been in Kamar-Taj for a few years. Like other old wizards, they are very determined. This is the result of long-term influence. They are very clear about their responsibilities.
But the problem is that Strange's talent makes Ancient One and Mordo always have higher expectations of him.
At this moment, both Ancient One and Mordo secretly decided in their hearts that once things really reached a certain point, they would definitely find a way to save Strange first... Of course, this was actually unnecessary. If it really came to that point, the Earth would be doomed, and the position of the Sorcerer Supreme would be dispensable. The reason why they thought so was purely out of inertia, and it also left a little bit of beautiful hope!
"coming!"
Gu Yi said nothing more, but turned his head to look underground.
Rumble.
It seemed like something was surging underground, and the ground kept rising and falling, as if the ground was breathing.
Suddenly a black light broke through the ground.
It's Ger.
"I failed!!! Run!!!"
Gel issued a warning immediately!
Obviously this guy failed to obtain the Heart of the Ancient God!
This is normal... at least it is not beyond Ancient One's expectations. As the Supreme Sorcerer, he knows best how powerful the Great Guardian is. The Heart of the Ancient God is the source of power for the entire Great Guardian. You can imagine how powerful this thing is.
If it was so easy to deal with, the immortals wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses.
