Is it the body, the consciousness, or something else that determines what makes a person who they are?
Now in front of Yi Cheng, this paradox called "Ship of Theseus" has its significance.Although the name of the ship has not been changed from beginning to end, the external existence of the ship itself has been replaced by something completely new, so it is the material of the ship itself or the name of the ship that determines whether the ship is still the same ship......
Or is it the meaning of existence?
Or, if a person's body, including limbs, torso, and internal organs, is replaced with mechanical or artificial organs......
Can this person still be regarded as the original person?
This is exactly what makes Yi Cheng more concerned now, the meaning behind this statement."
You mean to say......
My body ......
"Although it appears to be intact on the surface, in fact, the pillar god judged that the body was actually 'patchwork'. ”Morpheus's answer made Yi Cheng's bad premonition come true."
Of course, this 'patchwork' may not be what you think, at least biologically, your body still maintains a DNA unity, and there are no artificial or mechanical structures of any inhuman nature, but ......"
Morpheus glanced at the gloomy Icheng and said her conclusion very bluntly."
In the 'reality' observed by the pillar god, this seemingly complete and unified body is actually a patchwork of many 'you'."“…… Clone?
”Yi Cheng almost subconsciously thought of such a possibility.Probably......
Only a clone based on a perfect copy of the ontology can reassemble the "patchwork" structure that cannot be detected and observed in conventional ways, after all, in a sense, the relationship between "clone" and "ontology" is equivalent to the definition of "new ship and old ship" mentioned earlier."
It's not clear why, but there's a good chance that it is."
Morpheus's final blow sent Yi Cheng into a wave of contemplation.At this moment, the first thing he thought of was the "artificial protagonist plan" that Loki had mentioned.The plan to use the protagonist as a model and create a large number of new individuals through cloning, in order to give birth to new individuals with the abilities of the protagonist, sounds inhuman and unreliable, and it was in that battle of the century that some guys who have some different thoughts about the protagonist initiated and implemented.However, it is clear that this experiment proves one point from the other side, that is, "if the material is replaced, then the ship is no longer the same ship", and under the premise that the protagonist's abilities cannot be fully replicated, the artificial protagonist plan can only be a futile failure.Loki, the king of lies, has also said that he himself is actually the product of the failure of the artificial protagonist's plan, and the ability he has, the kind of "good luck" in the simple sense, is, to some extent, somewhat similar to the ability of the protagonist Yi Cheng, but in the final analysis, the limitations of that "luck" are also destined to make him unable to take the position of the protagonist after all, and become the key to saving the world.Now, however, the problem lies ......
If Yi Cheng's body is made up of many similar clones, then ......
What the hell is he?"
This question......
Even if you ask me, I can't give a clear answer. ”When Yi Cheng set his eyes on Satan, a self-proclaimed "god" with a wealth of knowledge and experience, the other party just smiled and shook his head."
But if that's what you exist......
It's kind of similar to me. ”"What?"
Yi Cheng looked at the demon king in surprise."
You know, I was originally an angel, and the existence of angels is ......
In fact, it is the product of 'patchwork'. ”......Seeing that Icheng was in a stupor because of such a powerful message, Satan did not leave him much room to think, but further explained it."
Of course, the 'patchwork' here is not the kind of simple external stitching and splicing, in fact, it involves ......
The essential difference between mortals and gods. ”"Essentially......
Difference?
”"Yes, you think......
What is such a difference?
”Faced with Satan's question, Yi Cheng thought for a while before giving his own answer."
Is the power of God more powerful and pure?""
Unfortunately, it's not."
Satan shook his head, a treacherous expression on his face for some reason."
Once upon a time, human beings, like you, believed that purer bloodlines and purer power were the only things that made people strong."
It doesn't sound like a problematic statement, but then, when Satan gives the simplest example, it dawns on Yi Cheng."
And the fact is that in order to ensure the purity of the bloodline and genes.
Parenting will only lead to the birth of a large number of deformed and imbecile offspring, and the end result will be that this part of the population that thinks they are superior will be quickly eliminated due to the stagnation of evolution...... which is really ......
Quite a subversive statement.For a long time, people's perception of matter, energy and even power has naturally been "the purer, the more perfect and powerful", but obviously, such a statement is not true from any point of view.Whether it is an ordinary person or a person with extraordinary abilities, what they are pursuing is nothing more than 'evolution of species' and 'sublimation of essence', and in order to achieve such a goal, whether it is the natural evolution of the external form or the perfection and replenishment of internal genes, it is necessary and necessary.And in order to achieve such an evolution, in order to improve and supplement the defects of genes, the most direct way is ......
Nature is to learn from each other's strengths.As a common way in nature, to ensure the survival of the fittest to ensure the survival of high-quality individuals, in the long process of evolution to gradually improve individual defects, so as to evolve into a more adaptable to the environment, the so-called "survival of the fittest", is the essence of evolution, however, compared with this time-consuming and labor-intensive and low success rate of the method, as a higher intelligent organism, human beings have already mastered a more simple and crude way, that is, hybridization.However, perhaps it is precisely in order to limit this "shortcut" that there is also a restriction called "species isolation" in nature, where two species that are different at the genetic level cannot reproduce through hybridization, and even if the reproduction is successful, the offspring will lose the ability to reproduce.Moreover, the biggest problem with hybridization is that it takes many and long attempts to purposefully select genes that are conducive to evolution and sublimation, and it is clear that this method of unpredictable results is not reliable in itself."
Since it can't be combined in a reasonable way, then it is necessary to put it together in a faster way."
I don't know why, Yi Cheng suddenly felt that Satan's statement was familiar.Because not long ago, on that small island in the south, he had witnessed a battle that fully embodied the essence of "evolution".Based on the human body, D.K., the fifth person of the Four Heavenly Kings of Darkness, who has evolved and sublimated all aspects to the apex, and Dr.
Abalone, who has fused the perfect genes of most creatures on the entire planet and transformed himself from a "human" to a "monster".In the battle that broke out between the two, verifying "which evolutionary route is correct", the human race, which is the apex of the evolutionary tree, failed miserably, and instead integrated the genes of those who were considered "lower creatures" by humans, Dr.
Abalone, and elevated his life form into an amazing and feared existence.It stands to reason that under the premise that the two of them are both quasi-god-level powerhouses, as a more pure, extremely sublimated, human gene owner at the top of the evolutionary tree, D.K should be the winner, but in fact, the one who really dominated that battle, and even once forced the protagonist Yi Cheng into a desperate situation, was Dr.
Abalone, who seemed to be completely out of human form."

It's like a Lego toy, putting pieces of bricks together, and the final combination will take on a completely new form that is completely different from the bricks themselves.""
It's like......
Such?
”Yi Cheng, who suddenly remembered something, grabbed the beast lying on top of his head casually."
Let it go......
The beast, who was listening to the ...... with relish, obviously did not expect that it would be used as a model to display, and let out a voice of protest a little unhappily."
That's pretty much it......"
Satan nodded, acknowledging Yi Cheng's divergent thinking."
The evolution of people with extraordinary abilities is also like this, although at the beginning, if you want to go from 'bending a spoon' to 'lifting your skirt', and then to have initial destructive power and attack power, in this process, you do need to constantly exercise your ability, so that your strength becomes pure and condensed, but the limitations of such training, I don't need to say that you must be clear.""
Indeed......"
The example that came out of Yi Cheng's mind this time was undoubtedly the eldest lady Long Tsundere, who was known as the most genius savior ever.The strength of Long Tsundere lies not in its use of a certain ability, but because any ability she can master as long as she learns in a short period of time, and integrate it into her own combat system, by constantly absorbing the power of various abilities, the strength of this eldest lady can even be comparable to that of the Sea Emperor who has inherited the ability of a quasi-god-level powerhouse.And at the same level of strength, there is an undeniable point......
Long Tsundere's growth is obviously higher than that of the Sea Emperor."
With the help of pure, single transcendent abilities, the highest level that human beings can reach is only quasi-gods."
Sure enough, Satan's next words also confirmed Yicheng's thoughts."
Next, they can certainly continue to move forward on the ladder of evolution, but no matter how far they go, in the end, they can only linger outside the gate of God, and they will never be able to enter the realm of God...... "......
So?
”Rather than soaking up the hopelessness of the great chasm between gods and mortals created by Satan for too long, Yi Cheng soon realized that what he needed to focus on now was not "how man becomes a god", ......but "If it is true, as you say, that 'me' body is made up of countless 'mes', then ......
What is the purpose of creating this 'me'?
”"You're not......
Have you already guessed it?
”Satan grinned."
Those people......
What they want to create is not a simple protagonist, but a ......
The god of the main character. ”
