Consciousness Barrier.
Ji Jue pondered for a moment, feeling perplexed and at a loss for words.
"It seems like a term from some religion prior to the Chaotic Era?"
Ji Jue's grasp of history wasn't great: "According to my understanding, it seems to mean—the more one knows, the more bewildered they become, making it difficult to grasp the essence of things?"
"Indeed, interpreting it that way isn't wrong, but what I'm referring to is something entirely different."
Ye Xian weighed the disc in his hand and casually tossed it onto the table, "Seventy years after the Destruction of the Eternal Empire, during the early establishment of the Federation and the Empire, in the midst of fierce battles, life and death struggles, under the coordination of the first-generation Heavenly Governor and Earth Emperor, there was a rare collaboration, leading to a comprehensive revision encompassing the entire world.
Numerous Heart Cores and Heavenly People of the Ether series participated, using texts, stories, music, and paintings as carriers. After consuming multiple blessings, they constructed a meme flowing within all living souls, adding an insignificant corner to the complex subconscious.
Whether called a virus or a vaccine, it doesn't matter; its name is 'Consciousness Barrier', erecting a barrier before what the human heart sees and knows."
"Just this?"
Ji Jue instinctively looked down at the disc, exclaiming in shock.
He wasn't shocked by the existence of such a bizarre entity but was equally alarmed at his own Flame Light's short-sightedness—why did he only see a disc, with nothing peculiar about it?
Ye Xian glanced at him, as if looking at a fool.
"The Consciousness Barrier was completed over four hundred years ago. Over those four hundred years, its power has already become omnipresent through countless written works, words, music, and even through spiritual and genetic transmission.
One must understand that the insinuations of the Heart Core can be spread through tone undulations, and the Ether's revisions can create something from nothing. How could it be so small?
This disc is merely a catalyst temporarily enhancing the effect."
She paused for a moment and suddenly asked, "Surely, as a Chosen One who has 'awakened' autonomously as an ordinary person, you've experienced something similar?"
Ji Jue understood: "Are you referring to the isolation between Chosen Ones and ordinary people?"
Before the Chosen summons, Ji Jue had never imagined he could one day become a Chosen One, having rarely heard of such matters.
But after opening that door, the bizarre world of the Chosen Ones swiftly overwhelmed him.
Even now, he hasn't adapted to this change.
Yet upon reflection, it feels strange—Chosen Ones and ordinary people obviously live in the same world, intricately intertwined, but simultaneously, distinctly separate.
This is the so-called Consciousness Barrier.
Invisible and formless, it's like a wall dividing two worlds.
Even though this wall isn't airtight, and one could open a gap by forcefully kicking it twice.
Yet this suggestion acting on the deepest layer of ordinary awareness makes them instinctively avoid such things, even unknowingly accepting it as a norm.
Even when they are aware of some edges, they subconsciously ignore them.
"Is this to prevent Chosen Ones from disrupting the present world?"
Ji Jue was puzzled: "Is it really necessary?"
In the city's world, there's the Security Bureau maintaining stability, so naturally, there wouldn't be any problems.
But in the chaotic wilderness outside the city, what order or rules are there to speak of? Not to mention, this is within the Federation's domain, thousands of independent islands on the Endless Sea?
Not to mention the Central Earth's unending war... the existence of Chosen Ones is no secret.
Besides, how could limiting ordinary people's cognition possibly restrain the unruly behavior of Chosen Ones?
"Of course, that's because that's not the main focus."
Ye Xian mocked with a sigh, "The isolation and stability between Chosen Ones and ordinary people is merely one of its additional effects. Its true focus is on something deeper..."
At that moment, the sand grains in the hourglass fell rapidly, and the ticking sound became frequent and harsh, as if trying to drown out her words.
Outside the sensing of this Consciousness Barrier's 'secret room', Ye Xian slowly said:
"—Let not Superior and Great Evil be easily known to the world!"
Snap!
At that moment, a third of the sand grains in the hourglass abruptly vanished, consumed without a trace!
Ji Jue, amidst his bewilderment, finally realized.
This is the true Consciousness Barrier.
Hiding the existence of Superior and Great Evil, erecting invisible high walls and barriers, covering the entire world, severing the connection between the soul and the mortal world, to maximize the stability of the present world.
Even if there are countless ways to bypass its existence, the barrier and wall remain, obscuring the heavens and abyss.
From now on, Superior and Great Evil are unseen.
"To grasp the essence of Chun Jun indicates your understanding of the Ether Path has reached mastery; you should understand the importance of 'knowledge', 'perception', and 'name'.
Ye Xian said slowly, "Visible hence knowable, knowable hence perceptible—in any moment where knowledge and soul perception emerge, the only thing left is the distance, whether far or near."
Ascension is the inherent nature of all Spiritual Wisdom, how could it be hindered?
Sometimes, ignorance and lack of perception is instead a good thing.
Like creating antibodies, isolating ordinary people from Great Evil.
Be aware, both Superior and Great Evil possess power...
Yet if ordinary people knew, what would they choose?
Even without Superior and Great Evil, there are so many people who get rich overnight, and those in high positions are never rare, yet why are corrupt, revelrous villains so common, while good people who build bridges and bring blessings to the world are so few?
