CHAPTER 1102: CHAPTER 1100: ELSA AND CHRISTINA

Christina and Elsa were trapped within a Sword Array set up by Zhou Bai. Golden Sword Qi shadows floated around them, swirling freely like swimming fish, appearing alive.

Elsa felt she was locked in by the omnipresent Sword Qi; taking just a few steps out would lead to Sword Qi slicing down upon her.

"Why did Zhou Bai lock us up?" Elsa exclaimed, "What’s wrong with him?"

Christina glanced at her disdainfully, "Isn’t it obvious? Zhou Bai... he might have lost control."

"Lost control? How is that possible?" Elsa shouted, "Zhou Bai managed to keep his sanity even after transformations, how could he lose control?"

Christina sighed, "Don’t think reading a few more books makes you smarter than me; the richness of my life experience is beyond your comprehension."

Hearing this, Elsa instinctively shouted, "Elsa is smarter than Christina!"

Christina recalled Elsa being controlled by Zhou Bai to read over and over on the wall: ’Elsa is smarter than Christina,’ and looked at Elsa with a pitying gaze.

She thought to herself: ’This foolish child... she’s learned to lie to herself.’

"Alright, alright, you’re smarter than me."

"To continue... sometimes mental loss of control is scarier and more unsolvable than physical loss of control."

Seeing Elsa still looking puzzled, Christina shook her head, "Today, let me impart some life experience to you."

"Wisdom is to make judgments and actions after accepting information; it’s a thing created through the synthesis of countless experiences, knowledge, information, and other elements..."

A person’s thoughts, character, and choices have a direct relationship with the external information they receive.

Because we can perceive different colors, we think about color matching in clothing, food, and shelter.

Because we can record and read history, there is hatred between different races.

Because we understand death, we fear it.

This is how information itself and the means of receiving it impact thinking.

Humans with the same identity can have completely different thoughts due to completely different information received, making opposite judgments and actions.

Thus, eras, countries, races, families, education, and other factors... change the thinking and decisions of one person after another.

For example, Spiritual People undoubtedly detest hybrid Spiritual People, who in turn detest demons, and demons because of historical reasons detest Spiritual People; this is history, this is the influence of the information they received.

Another example, an ordinary person from Donghua City and the Supreme Heavenly Venerate have thinking worlds apart.

But if all the intelligence, experiences, and memories known by the Supreme Heavenly Venerate are instilled into a commoner’s mind, and if the ability to gather information and perceive the world of a Supreme Heavenly Venerate is granted upon a commoner, then the thinking of an ordinary person from the lowest rung of Donghua City would rapidly evolve, becoming infinitely close to the Supreme Heavenly Venerate.

He might no longer be compassionate because of the old experiences in his mind.

He might become emotionally detached, unable to accept new companions, perhaps even viewing ordinary people as ants because he has witnessed countless deaths.

He might have acquired a cruel side of gods and immortals due to the memories of countless slaughters, might have a whole new attitude towards race and civilization because he knows the secrets of the world...

Christina looked at Elsa and said, "For instance, look at you now; how vastly different are your thoughts compared to three years ago?

Three years ago, you were just in the underground base, knowing nothing but eating and playing every day.

Now your cultivation has improved, learning abilities have enhanced, and you’ve obtained a vast amount of knowledge from Zhou Bai, learning a lot of top secrets of the world.

So you see, how drastically your way of thinking has changed from three years ago."

Elsa nodded looking at her notebook; current her and three-year-old her seemed like entirely different people, current her can act cool in ways unimaginable by her three years ago, that’s evolution in thinking.

At this point, Christina sighed and said worriedly, "The information itself and the ability to obtain information greatly alter the thinking patterns of intelligent life forms. It’s like how a blind person can never discuss colors, a fool can never understand a genius, an Immortal would never go to understand ordinary people."

"An ordinary boy full of sentiment might become a cruel, cold-blooded, and selfish person after becoming an Immortal."

"But at least there are still similarities between a mortal and an Immortal."

"Yet now Zhou Bai is connected to the Heavenly Demon Pool’s database. According to his description, he can obtain vast amounts of information from the database every second, doing what would have taken months, years in a second, how greatly would this affect his thinking?"

"The amount of information a person receives after years of cultivation to become an Immortal... probably doesn’t even compare to the information Zhou Bai receives in one minute..."

"This kind of cultivator’s thinking pattern is unprecedented on earth, and something we cannot fathom at all."

"When even the organs that perceive the world and contemplate life are different, can the thought patterns of insects and humans be the same?"

Christina said gravely, "That’s why I said he might have lost control. At least from our perspective, he has lost control because his thinking pattern has likely become increasingly different from ours.

In the worst-case scenario, actions that seem atrocious to us might become perfectly natural to him.

Things that we consider incredibly important might become trivial in his eyes."

In fact, Zhou Bai’s situation was even more serious than Christina imagined. As Zhou Bai started trying to use the Heavenly Demon Pool to extrapolate his plans, the entire solar system’s situation was considered by him, with countless data churning between his consciousness and the Heavenly Demon Pool.

He could, through Heavenly Demons scattered across the solar system, gain insight into countless spaces within the solar system.

He could, through monitoring programs of the Heavenly Demon Pool, observe the mental changes every second of billions of humans in virtual networks.

He could see the daily lives of hundreds of millions of citizens in the four major cities of Earth through spy satellites and nano-Heavenly Demons, insider Heavenly Demons in space above Earth.

He could access all historical logs of Heavenly Demons anytime and anywhere, deducing numerous possible futures...

At this moment, Zhou Bai seemed like he was living through the lives of billions of people every second, with his thinking continuously adapting to such sensory shifts...

Upon hearing Christina’s worries, Elsa immediately became concerned and quickly said, "So Christina, hurry and use your invincible Time Gem to turn back time!"

Christina twitched her whiskers, "I would have used it if I could, Zhou Bai kicked me out of the Sea of Consciousness and left the gemstone in his own Consciousness Sea, I can’t use it now... wait, does this mean he completely foresaw my use of the gemstone?"

Christina suddenly straightened up, "This indicates he realized I might use the gemstone..."

"Which means, he has already calculated that we would oppose his upcoming actions? Want to change him back to his original self?"

"What exactly is Zhou Bai planning to do next?!"

Christina said while losing hair, "I have a bad premonition that we might need to find a way to stop Zhou Bai."
