Chapter 173 What is eternal life? Is death the eternal destination?
The small piece of eggshell stained by raindrops instantly turned black.
Following this, the vitality of the little life in the egg began to weaken, like a deflated ball, declining very quickly.
Seeing this, Su Mu looked up at the sky and found that the rain had stopped.
This rain and river water are the same kind.
Su Mu thought of something, took the bird egg, and came to the river. With a wave of his hand, a drop of water gathered on his fingertips. When it dripped onto the eggshell again, he found that it was black again, and the vitality was declining faster.
At this time, Su Mu discovered that the little life in the egg was already dead, and the power of life that had just been revealed was all an illusion.
Is this how you die?
Su Mu also promised those Fire Skylarks that he would adopt them well, but now, they died just after they were brought back, which made Su Mu feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
In order to prevent the vitality from continuing to decline, Su Mu waved his hand and used his magical power to control water, diverting part of the river water up to wrap the bird eggs.
solidification!
Su Mu held his hand, and the river water solidified into ice, wrapping the bird's eggs in it.
Soon, the rapidly declining vitality in the bird's egg solidified at this moment.
Ice is only a delaying measure, it can only stop its vitality from declining, but it cannot change its dead nature.
At this time, Su Mu thought of something, took the ice cube with the bird egg sealed, returned to the yard, and asked Nannan: "Nanny, you just said that you heard this little guy asking you for help. ”
Because if the little life in the egg was already dead, why would it still ask for help from Nannan?
Hearing this, Nannan nodded and said: "Yes, I heard its voice. Although it seems to be dead, it doesn't seem to be completely dead. I can't tell clearly."
For a while, Nannan couldn't define what kind of state the little life in the egg was in at the moment.
But she knew that if she didn't think of a way, it would definitely not be hatched and born.
Su Mu pondered.
After sending out a signal for help, there is only one possibility. That is, although this little life is dead, its consciousness has not completely dissipated.
The body and soul are dead, but the consciousness has not dissipated for a long time
This also touches on Su Mu’s blind spot of knowledge. Logically speaking, the little life in the egg is still He was not born and has never been exposed to cultivation.
Theoretically, its consciousness is very weak.
Because for a truly strong person, even if the body and soul are killed, as long as the consciousness is not obliterated, it is not considered true death.
For example, at Su Mu's current level of cultivation, the Immortal Perfection state, if others wanted to kill him, it would be difficult to kill his consciousness.
But this little life is different. It has not been born yet. Where did it come from such a powerful consciousness?
Could it be said that it is its desire to survive?
What a strong desire to survive, so that its consciousness has not dissipated for a long time!
Looking at the bird eggs in the ice, Su Mu's heart was touched.
It just wants to survive, and there is nothing wrong with it. A life's desire to survive is respectable, it is the greatest thing in life, and it is also the most unclear thing.
For this little life, when the desire to survive reaches a certain level, it can even transcend death for a short time!
So this little life is really magical.
At this moment, Su Mu was also deeply touched, and he also made up his mind to save it.
At this time, Su Mu tried to see if he could use the care point to heal.
[No vitality detected. This creature has died. Due to the host's river affinity, it is temporarily unable to use care points to resurrect. 】 Sure enough, there must be at least a glimmer of life, even if it is hanging in one breath, before Su Mu can come back with a little care.
This is why Su Mu always tells the little black dragons that no matter what happens, they must come back alive, even if they only have one breath left, they must hold on until they are in front of him.
However, from the sentence prompted by the system, Su Mu also discovered a problem.
According to the system's argument, is it possible that when one's river affinity reaches a certain level, even if a living being dies, it can be resurrected?
After all, the cycle of life and death is the only law in the world. No living thing can escape death. No matter how long it lives, whether it lives for countless epochs, even if it lives until the world collapses, or even if the world lives the same life, it will eventually die.
Because heaven and earth will also die. If there is no death, it is because time is not long enough.
The word "eternal life" may be a synonym for the highest.
The concept of "eternal life" is too vague. Different people have different definitions.
Some people have lived for hundreds of thousands of years, or even millions, and they seem to have "eternal life". But what if it is hundreds of millions of years, a time so long that the laws of heaven and earth have decayed?
All will die.
So, if you observe carefully, you will find that the greatest pursuit of countless living beings cultivating immortality is "immortality", not "eternal life".
"Eternal life" means "everlasting life", and "eternal life" means "eternal life". These are two completely different concepts
So, has anyone achieved "eternal life" in the true sense? , no one knows.
"Death" is the biggest obstacle to resisting "eternal life".
Once someone overcomes "death" and can be resurrected repeatedly, can that be considered a kind of "eternal life"?
So what the system said shocked Su Mu very much.
It seems that there is no way to save it now.
Fortunately, it was sealed by ice, sealing the dissipation of consciousness.
You can only wait until you reach a certain affinity level before you think of ways to save it.
Su Mu collected the ice cubes and placed them in his Dantian space.
Let’s deal with the tree we just cut down first.
In order to make it easier to work, Su Mu put on light clothes, rolled up his cuffs, and began to make various furniture out of wood.
After this golden nanmu was cut down, it was not as strong as when it was growing. Even so, only a silver dagger could cut it.
So, the tools are limited and the efficiency is not high.
It took a full three hours of production to finally make the stool and chair. I wiped the sweat from my forehead. It took a lot of effort.
Then he spent another two hours making a wooden door and a set of wooden railings to surround the stone house.
After doing this, less than one-tenth of the wood was used, because the tree was too big and could not be used up.
Su Mu looked at the big tree in front of him, rubbing his chin, thinking that there was so much left, what should he do?
We can’t waste it, right?
It took a lot of effort to get it back.
Suddenly, Su Mu thought of something, his eyes lit up, he had it!
