842: The fantasy of ring toss
What is thought?
It is a process of information processing.
To put it simply, thought is the process of a biological brain "thinking about things."
After mastering the power of thought, one can turn the abstract imagery of "thinking about things," which only exists in an 'imaginary world,' into reality.
In short, it is daydreaming, and then making those dreams come true.
I want you to die, and then you die.
I want to become stronger, and then I become stronger.
I want the world to end, so the world ends.
This is a very idealistic type of power.
"By mastering this power, can I do anything?"
"Life, death, fate, and creation—are they all within a single thought?"
"With a single thought, can I cross the sea of stars, or make the sea of stars change according to my will?"
Thinking this, Yang Dian shook his head slightly.
If, before becoming a power, thought is merely an abstract idea that only requires the consumption of a few brain cells.
Then, after becoming a usable method, thought acquires an 'energy' attribute.
The more abstract the thought, the stranger the idea, and the further it deviates from the real world, the more Thought Power it requires to turn that idea into reality.
"The process of first condensing Thought Power is a bit abstract."
"First, firm up your belief."
"Then just let your brain think; leave the rest to the idea, and the idea will give you the answer?"
"It's too vague, without a single practical step for Cultivation."
Constantly sorting through the memories of Zeus, Yang Dian thought of that saying again.
If you don't know how, it's hard; if you know how, it's not.
For those who have never come into contact with the martial Dao, explaining it to them is like a modern person explaining technology to an ancient person—it's nothing short of a tall tale.
Yang Dian viewed the Cultivation method for Thought Power in the same way.
In his view, the Cultivation method for Thought Power was simply inexplicable.
It doesn't base itself on any realistic theory; it just relies on the brain to imagine things aimlessly.
"It's a bit like dreaming."
"And to Cultivate the power of thought, one must first possess the first wisp of Thought Power."
"Any fantasy that doesn't involve Mental Energy, telekinesis, or energy, and becomes reality without the active interference of others, has a chance to condense into Thought Power?"
"After condensing the first wisp of Thought Power, one can interfere with reality through Thought Power."
"The more reality one interferes with and influences, the stronger Thought Power can become through the feedback from reality."
"Until the entire world becomes one's own Thought Domain, and the world becomes like playdough, changing at will according to one's own will..."
Pondering the memories of Zeus over and over again, Yang Dian, having noticed a certain detail, suddenly felt a bit frustrated.
It seems a bit difficult to obtain the first wisp of Thought Power.
Even Zeus had not truly mastered Thought Power.
Zeus's Cultivation of Thought Power was merely conjecture and fantasy; he hadn't truly mastered the method to Cultivate Thought Power?
"That's true; if he had really mastered Thought Power, he would have interfered with reality through it long ago."
"However, the birth of Thought Power is, in itself, a fantasy."
Scratching his head, Yang Dian prepared to put his idea into action first.
So, he looked up at the sky and began to mutter continuously in his heart.
Soon after, dark clouds gathered in the cloudless sky, and before long, scattered snowflakes fell from the clouds.
But Yang Dian, who had been muttering about snow in his heart, did not feel happy.
Because this was not him truly mastering the power of thought or entering the Dao of Fantasy.
It was his Mental Energy, under the influence of his conscious and subconscious mind, subconsciously communicating with heaven and earth, leveraging the power of the rules to gather clouds and bring down snow.
"Once consciousness has a form, it is somewhat difficult to master Thought Power."
"Or perhaps I can have children Cultivate this Thought Power."
"After letting the children master Thought Power, I can then use their Thought Power to grant myself Thought Power..."
