Chapter 770 Beyond immortality
Creating the Mushroom Man with the simplest soul is just a branch study of the Golden Tree. His main purpose is to master the essence of life through these studies and ultimately achieve the goal of transforming the undead into a normal life.
Judging from the records of the stele, He succeeded, but not completely succeeded.
There are several very difficult difficulties in transforming the undead into a normal life. The biggest difficulty is that the undead life lacks one dimension than the ordinary life - time. Ordinary life will be born, old, sick and dead, but the undead life will not. If the undead energy is sufficient, the undead can almost live forever.
This does not mean that the undead is better than life - on the contrary, it means that the undead lacks a large attribute compared to ordinary life.
For more convenient understanding, it can be imagined that the living person is a little beauty in three dimensions, while the undead is a paper-paper goddess in two dimensions...
It is worth mentioning that most of the creatures in the world of Chiari (well of the Abyss) lack one dimension of non-time life.
It is precisely because of the lack of a dimension that these lives will lose their abundance when thinking about problems compared to normal humans. Just like Dai Lin and Matsuhide join forces to cause trouble on the third level of the Abyss Well, these island masters were almost helpless. If some of the undead brought by Bannon were familiar with some routines on the main plane and adopted a joint method to cause trouble for Matsuhide "Captain Mimi", the third level of the Abyss would have fallen into Matsuhide's hands long ago.
It should be pointed out that Chesia, Xuan Ji, Bannon, Elena and Rose are different from normal non-time life because they originally had time dimensions. However, in the Well of the Abyss, their time dimension cannot be integrated with the Well of the Abyss, and the information of the time dimension is frozen - the time dimension is still there, but it no longer works.
In fact, after Dai Lin, Matsutomi and others enter the Well of the Abyss, the time dimension will also become invalid - that is to say, Dai Lin will not grow old in the Well of the Abyss.
However, if you stay in the Abyss Well for too long (for example, stay in the Abyss Well for more than a few hundred years in the main plane), the time dimension will be frozen for half a time, which will be equivalent to becoming a non-time life. If Dai Lin and Zhen Tong jump back and forth in the time and non-time planes, the time dimension will not be frozen forever.
Losing or permanently freezing the dimension of "time" will allow them to live almost permanently in the well of the abyss, but at the same time their personalities will be one-sided - somewhat similar to the obsession of the dead.
The so-called "semi-permanent freezing" means that even if Bannon, Xuan Ji and others return to the main plane, their time dimension will not be restored immediately, and will only thaw slowly bit by bit.
The insect tide crisis triggered by Elena is actually the inevitable result of the slowly thawing of the time dimension in her body. Dai Lin had imagined that she was a technical mate who could devote herself to research for decades, but it was because Dai Lin didn't understand the "time dimension" at that time.
Before the time dimension is thawed, Elena's thinking pattern is fixed, a bit like the npc in the game where she walks from one end of the street to the other and walks back every day. When she sees anyone, she shouts "Hi, hello, is there anything I can help?". Once she chooses to be a great witch doctor in the Green Demon Tribe, she can keep going.
However, after living in the main plane for seventy years, when the frozen time dimension in her body gradually recovered to a sufficient level of her subjective initiative, she launched a worm tide. However, her time dimension still did not fully recover, so when Dai Lin dealt with her, she always felt that this woman had less stubbornness and tended to treat her as a paper person.
But if she gives her another thirty or forty years, her way of thinking should return to the level of a normal human being. I believe that by that time, there will be very interesting changes in the world.
※※※
Return to the records on the stone tablet.
The Golden Tree found that normal life will lose its time dimension after death.
But time is not something you want to lose, you can lose it just by wanting it.
The lost time dimension and the frozen time dimension are two concepts.
A life whose time dimension is frozen, when he/she returns to the time plane, the time dimension will be thawed again.
But if you lose it, you will lose it. The time dimension cannot be returned.
The Golden Tree has been very successful in transforming the undead into normal life. He once turned many undead into real life. However, He found that the undead who lost the time dimension still cannot regain the time dimension when it becomes life. His transformed life is indeed a living life, and the cemetery space in his soul will also become a spiritual field space, but he is a paper man who has lost the time dimension.
And the worst thing is that no matter how hard He tried, the transformed paper man had no time dimension, but the body regenerated with ordinary magic had. So in the end what He transformed was a paper man who would grow old but feel that he would always be young.
This contradiction of the Golden Tree has never been able to resolve. Finally, decades ago, He suddenly realized something terrible: it is very likely that He himself is also a dead soul who has lost the dimension of time!
The Golden Tree has an infinite lifespan, but it has time attributes - so he is moved by boredom and loneliness. However, when He transformed himself into a dead soul, he did not directly transform the living person into a dead soul, so he adopted the most conventional and basic method of resurrection in later generations. This death - lost the time attributes.
So the Golden Tree itself has no time dimension - it's just that He has never realized it.
After so many failures, the Golden Tree finally realized that a soul without the dimension of time cannot create a soul with time.
"I need to find a life, fuse it with it, and seize its time attributes - this is the only way. But technically, it needs to be carefully considered. The object of the fusion is best for young babies. There will no longer be any problem of losing time attributes when the undead was transformed."
On a stone tablet, the tree of gold wrote.
This may explain why the Golden Tree occupies Dailin's original baby body.
However, Dai Lin's attention did not focus on his own life experience. Instead, he saw another problem:
The Golden Tree has mastered the technology that can transform the undead into normal life!
Although this technology cannot allow the undead who have lost their time attributes, such as Acedeer and Su Ruiqi, to have their time attributes again, Xuan Ji did not lose their time attributes!
As a blood elf, she just frozen her time attribute in the well of the abyss but was not lost. After returning to the main plane, she was transformed into a dead soul by Bannon - her soul was intact and did not lose her time attribute because of the transformation of the undead spirit.
In other words: Dai Lin can turn Xuan Ji into a normal woman again!
