Chapter 767
It's clearly not as simple as just believing.
It doesn't seem to be a deception, either internally or externally.
But a kind of...
What kind of thing is it?
Jiang Yi tried many, many times.
The stone remained a stone; it did not turn into gold.
Because in his "cognition," he clearly "remembers" that what he put in was just a single grain of gravel.
So, should we use "amnesia" as a method?
No, it was still useless!
Because losing your memory is equivalent to losing key information.
Although he didn't have accurate information, he knew what he was doing.
He always knew very clearly—
He wanted to make a change from "real" to "substantial".
This very understanding prevented him from ever truly deceiving himself.
That broken stone is still just a piece of gravel.
Does this mean that Jiang Yi even needs to completely forget what he is doing, forget that he is trying to turn stones into gold?
However, if he really forgets about this, he might completely let it go and do other things.
and so……
Jiang Yi thought of it.
The true rule of "creation" should be that there is no intention to create.
As artists often say, the more you try to create a certain mood or atmosphere, the less likely you are to achieve it.
On the contrary, often, a stroke of genius done unintentionally can have a surprising effect.
and so……
Should Jiang Yi give up now, or rather stop, and then try to find that kind of serendipitous inspiration in the future?
But he really felt that he had already grasped the answer!
It's about faith!
It's about believing!
But how could he possibly convince himself to believe it...?
That kind of almost arrogant obsession and self-confidence might require deliberate time to cultivate?
time……
Jiang Yi was thinking about whether he should continue to use the time spent going back to cultivate and deepen his belief.
But then, a sudden inspiration struck him, and he realized something very important—
Previously, he had repeatedly tried to understand things by looking back in time.
In reality, it also changes some things.
Not long ago, he had already come up with a point of view.
By simplifying that viewpoint slightly, he could obtain a Cartesian coordinate system familiar to modern people.
Let's assume the horizontal axis of this coordinate system is "time".
Therefore, we can assume that the vertical axis of the coordinate system is "fate".
Jiang Yi, in the past, was jumping within such a coordinate system.
His perception only sensed "time," that is, the change in the horizontal axis.
But through reasoning, he deduced that his own "fate," or the vertical axis, was also changing.
In addition, there is another key point—
Previously, all his jumps were based on changes in the horizontal axis.
In other words, he did not experience one special situation during any of his jumps—
The x-axis is fixed, only the y-axis changes!
In other words...
He did not experience that kind of "leap" where time remains unchanged but fate changes.
Of course, "time remains unchanged" here can refer to time standing still or to time flowing naturally according to predetermined rules.
That is to say...
Previously, he almost always changed the vertical axis by changing the horizontal axis.
At that moment, he made a plan in his mind—
If the x-axis remains constant, but the y-axis suddenly changes...
What would this mean in reality?
That is, time stands still.
Nothing has changed.
His fate changed spontaneously, without any apparent force.
To give a more specific example—
In a state of stillness.
A pebble, without any external force, spontaneously transforms into a grain of gold.
Correct!
That's it!
Only in this way could Jiang Yi's belief that it was a grain of gold truly come from the bottom of his heart.
Do not deceive yourself, nor deceive the outside world.
Because that really was a piece of gold!
