Chapter 520: Chapter 332 The Great War Begins_2

"If that’s the case..." After a moment of silence, the No.1 elder of the Black-clothed Guard said, "Prepare for battle. We can mobilize six thousand combat personnel at the moment."

"Tomorrow, Fu Tianyuan will pass through the Void Mirror and open a portal to Kunlun Mountain."

"Our goal is not to exterminate the Evil God but to protect the important heritage within the Kunlun Ruins. It must not be damaged in the chaos... Of course, if there is spare capacity, we can also do some good deeds. Please do remember this point!"

"Understood!" Everyone shouted in unison.

"Dismissed!"

...

For all the combatants, it was a sleepless night. On this night, on the eve of war, all the warriors were prepared, returning to their barracks to rest and recuperate thoroughly.

The night grew cooler, and the bustling Turtle Mansion supermarket fell completely silent, the curved moon hanging at the end of the sky.

"Main Character" Li Qingshan lay on the wooden hard plank bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

During these six months, he had always been busy working; his life was filled and busy, to the point where he seemed no longer the "Main Character."

The real "Main Characters" had become all the Pioneers here, creating new miracles, transforming into the common struggling masses, All Living Beings, and thus forming a new entity—"Humanity."

He got up from the bed and left the room, gazing at the distant starry sky.

Starlight twinkled. Walking forward along the ridge, to his left was the smooth drill ground, where the soldiers trained. It was now silent. To his right was a boundless field of rapeseed flowers. Li Qingshan wandered through the rapeseed for a very long time, hardly encountering anyone.

Only the mating calls of the insects, and a few young, naive farm dogs played on the ridge, clambering over wobbly, their voices milky as they barked a few times, their tails wagging erratically.

Ahead, there was a small stream.

The water was clear to the bottom and full of iris.

The crescent moon, suddenly enveloped by dark clouds above, vanished. But with the disappearance of the moonlight, the dazzling Milky Way hanging in the sky appeared even brighter. With each breath, the twinkling stars that had existed for billions of years resisted the erosion of time with their dim light; to this day, they still shone brightly, standing shoulder to shoulder with the sky, walking alongside the world.

Li Qingshan sat on the ground, quietly enjoying this tranquility. Perhaps he had never felt such peace and quiet before, as if forgetting all his worries.

"I wonder what these stars really mean." A pleasant female voice echoed beside him, and when he turned his head, it was his companion, Ms. Chen Xinyi.

Chen Xinyi, too, couldn’t sleep and was wandering aimlessly until she spotted him and said cheerfully, "Can’t sleep?"

"Yeah, how could I possibly sleep?"

After a while, Ms. Feng Ling and Xu Zhijun also arrived at this spot.

It was as if Destiny had manipulated it so that the four of them, unable to sleep, came here to gaze at the stars together.

"We all were supposed to be dead already. Being manipulated by the Game to come here might be a good thing, after all."

"How do you feel about life here?" Li Qingshan found a flat stone, wiped off the dew, and carefully sat down.

"At first, I was somewhat irritable, without all the electronic gadgets, the pace of life being so slow, and the local people not of high quality, always feeling bored and dull. But later on, I found a sense of simplicity in having just a bowl of food and a ladle of water." Chen Xinyi smiled as she spoke, "Especially the meditation here, which brings a feeling of tranquility deep within the soul."

Ms. Feng Ling also agreed, "They say that the Mountain and Sea Realm’s potential might be a cut above that of Earth and Blue Star. At first, I disagreed, but now I somewhat agree. Because with advanced technology, we often pursue materialistically, neglecting some issues on the spiritual and philosophical level."

"In Blue Star, spiritual and philosophical discussions are old stuff from centuries ago, now no one pays attention to them."

Chen Xinyi said, "Mmm, the same on Earth. The thoughts of the Taoists existed thousands of years ago, and philosophers like Hegel and Schopenhauer are also centuries old. Nowadays, people generally lean towards studying natural sciences as they bring easier achievements."

The two girls giggled and discussed philosophical matters, while the two men remained silent, simply watching the stars above.

The material world and the spiritual world represent two different directions of development.

Humanity might have taken the first or second step in exploring the material world because it lies so tangibly before our eyes, and it’s hard to ignore research into it.

However, exploration into the spiritual world has hardly begun, almost tending towards zero.

Human understanding of the spiritual world is limited to the realm of experience and has yet to form its own system; or perhaps it has never progressed at all.

Essentially, there is no color in the objective world, no sound.

Color is a reflection of light on the surface of objects; humans have visual nerves that perceive red, yellow, and blue. The brain can’t "see" things; it can only perceive different neurons’ electrical signals, and color is merely the brain’s "rendering" of the outside world.

Colorblind people lack the visual cells that most people have. In nature, animals like birds and turtles have four kinds of color vision cells, and they see colors more vividly than humans can perceive.

In other words, to birds, humans as a whole are colorblind. Humans believe objects have inherent colors, but that’s actually a "brain-fill" by the brain. Just like live streamers use different filters to look stunningly beautiful when in reality, they’re just some dude picking at his feet.
