Chapter 71: Eternal Immortality After Death!?

The other party didn't beat around the bush and asked directly:

"Actually, before I became a police officer, I was also a philosophy enthusiast. Plato once said something—"

"[We humans live in two worlds simultaneously: one is the rational world where the soul resides, and the other is the physical world where the body resides. The world touched by the body's senses is 'not the real world'; only the world where the soul resides is the 'true world'.]"

"Regarding this statement, I hope to get some clues and an answer from you."

"In my view, you seem qualified to judge the great philosopher of antiquity: Plato."

At this moment, inside Su City's The First Police Station.

All the criminal investigators on the night shift, including Captain Lao Zhou of the criminal investigation team, cast curious glances.

"I didn't expect Deputy Captain Su to be a philosophy enthusiast too!"

"When it comes to solving cases, you're the boss; even Captain Lao Zhou of the investigation team can't match you."

"Xiao Su, if possible, don't occupy the public channel next time. If you have questions, ask them privately and politely," said Captain Lao Zhou, the investigator in the black suit.

"I know, Captain Zhou. I'm just bored. After all, there's no definitive answer to this question so far, and it's something many people are interested in."

After saying that, Officer Su Cheng continued to look at Jiang Zhe on the computer screen.

On the screen.

Jiang Zhe pondered for a moment and gave his insight with a smile.

"Actually, Mr. Su, there is no answer to your question."

"I don't want to use long-winded arguments to explain my viewpoint, but I can tell you a short story. After listening, you will get the answer you want."

Even Jiang Zhe had to yield before this question.

This question involved too much!

The question relates to—

Who am I?

What is my essence?

What is the world?

What is the essence of the world?

And other such difficult problems.

Even in his previous life, there was no definitive conclusion, only related conjectures.

"I'm all ears!" Officer Su Cheng responded.

"Alright, please listen carefully!"

"If humans use themselves as the benchmark, what does the world look like?"

"Then human scientists will tell you—the world in our eyes is only a corner. We see the universe as dark, but through scientific instruments, the universe is brilliant."

"Scientists will say: we can only see a small part of reality. Yes, this is very correct!"

"The difference between us and animals is that we can distinguish more tones, more ideas, more sounds, more witnesses, more of everything!"

"And every animal's perception of the world is different."

"If we take humans as the standard, I would say: [My world is like this—blue sky, white clouds, green grass]."

"If a dog could talk, it would surely say: [You are wrong. In my view, it's not like that. The sky is clearly gray!]"

"To this, I won't make a claim about what is truly real."

"You can't say that everything we humans see is right, because that's unfair; it's also too absolutist!"

These words were almost instantly recognized by a massive number of viewers.

No one was a fool; everyone knew that humans could not observe most of the world.

Being able to observe only a small part of it was perfectly acceptable to people. After all, humans were once animals too—just highly intelligent beings evolved from animals!

"Actually, your question can be entirely boiled down to: [Materialism] and [Idealism]."

"For the [Materialist]: first there was the Big Bang, then supercluster complexes, superclusters, galaxies... and finally Earth, life, and modern society."

"For the [Idealist]: in the beginning, there was a vast [Consciousness] observing the Big Bang. Whether it's an internal observer of the universe or an external one, as long as there is an intelligent consciousness observing, it's enough. After observation, the world formed, and only then did the world have time, space, everything, and us."

"In modern times, we can use scientific instruments and precise data to trace back the scientific phenomenon of the Big Bang Theory."

"However, we still face a problem: how did this universe come to be? We don't know; no one knows."

"You say it formed naturally, and then use a pile of scientific data and theories to infer the Big Bang?"

"Sorry, for the [Idealist], that's not fitting."

"But for the [Materialist], it is very fitting!"

"And the Big Bang Theory model you firmly believe in is applicable in many fields; but can you say it's right? You can't."

"Because it can explain many things, but there are still some it cannot explain."

"Those things that cannot be explained by the Big Bang model can be explained in other niche theories."

"So this phenomenon also perfectly illustrates that nothing is the sole authority, and nothing is necessarily always correct!"

At this point, Jiang Zhe's speaking speed gradually slowed down, and he began to treat the matter seriously.

"As for what you said about the 'physical world of bodily life' and the 'real world where the soul resides,' and that the world of the soul is more real? Yes, I agree with that point."

"Because the world where the soul resides is, theoretically speaking—the [World] of your [soul], which is your [Consciousness]."

"[The world where the soul lives] is a world constructed based on your individual soul or consciousness."

"That world can be any world; every person's soul world is entirely different."

"If the world after death has a specific image, then based on my understanding, I will tell you where [we] go after death."

These words immediately piqued the curiosity of the audience.

The world after death?

Basically, no living person knows.

But can Jiang Zhe really explain it?

Facing the camera, Jiang Zhe's expression was exceptionally serious.

"Where one goes after death will be as I describe below—"

"The world after death is the world constructed in the final moment of your brain's death!"

"As for why I say this, I will find time to explain it later."

"If in that final moment, you see your loved ones around you, congratulations; you will eventually live with your deceased loved ones in a world you collectively construct."

"If in that final moment, you see demons from hell around you, unfortunately; you will live with those demons in a collectively constructed world."

"For another example, if at the moment of your death, your mental world is frozen in a time-stilled zone, then I will tell you; that is the most desperate moment, because you will live forever in a world where time is eternally still."

"So, even for viewers with serious illnesses, you should not imagine all sorts of messy [worlds] at the moment you are about to die."

"Just a mention, in the eyes of idealists, there is a saying: [I, am, the, world!], [All, things, exist, because, of, me!]"

As his words fell, everyone was instantly left with faces full of shock and astonishment.
