Chapter 752: Chapter 472: When the Whale Falls, All Things Thrive

The path is planned out,

but there are still some doubts when it comes to actual implementation.

If killing is used as a means to conform to cosmic rules,

then the humans on Earth number, at most, eight billion.

Thinking bolder,

even if they were all gone, how much merit would that bring?

Furthermore, Wang Ye could never engage in such a self-destructive act.

The human race is fundamental to his existence,

and currently, he cannot be sure if there are other life forms in the universe. If humanity were destroyed, his immortality would be unbearably lonely in the future.

Therefore, Wang Ye must find another path.

Upon careful thought, it can be understood that the source of his merit today essentially comes from maintaining cosmic balance.

And how does he maintain this cosmic balance?

It’s nothing other than destruction.

Letting high-energy regions flow towards low-energy regions.

Destroying the monopolizer benefits all things.

When a whale falls, all creatures thrive.

This principle was discovered by humans long ago.

And they named it the Law of Entropy Increase,

The Law of Entropy Increase states that within a closed system, heat always flows from hot to cold objects, entropy gradually increases, order diminishes, until a state of maximum entropy is reached.

In other words, the essence of the universe is to transform from order to disorder,

Returning anything orderly to chaos is a form of merit.

Conversely, the Human Path is to counteract entropy increase, meaning to transform chaos into order. Schrodinger once said: living is about fighting against the law of entropy increase, life feeds on negative entropy. This suggests that the birth of life is actually a resistance against the laws of the universe.

Humans, more than anything, are on the front line of resisting entropy increase, because the founding of any nation or enterprise is an act of negating entropy, whether it’s a nation, enterprise, or any organization, it imposes human order on the chaos of primitive society, which is clearly against entropy increase.

But the cruel truth is that entropy increase is often hard to resist, and even with human efforts, the iron laws of the universe cannot be countered, hence the existence of historical cycles.

According to human observations, the lifespan of a country or dynasty usually does not exceed three hundred years, and the lifespan of a corporation is even shorter, rarely lasting a century before gradually declining and finally perishing.

Similarly, the law of entropy increase can be applied to anything, such as a fixed star from its peak to decline and eventually a supernova explosion, which is also entropy increase.

But a fixed star is much larger than a nation, enterprise, or even humanity, so the entropy increase from a star’s explosion is massive.

Therefore, gaining merit becomes simple.

That is destruction. Destroying planets.

No matter how many resources humans occupy, they are just parasites feeding off planets.

So killing people is always second best.

Destroying planets, even devouring them, is the true way to become stronger.

At this thought.

Wang Ye looked up at the blue sky above. Despite being daytime and the scattering of sunlight through the atmosphere rendering stars mostly invisible to the naked eye.

However, with his evolved eyesight, he could easily see thousands and trillions of stars like diamonds embedded in the dark cosmos.

With the network of neurons in his brain, he could basically deduce the names and diameters of each star, as well as their characteristics.

But the content is limited to the information humans know.

After all, Wang Ye has never been to outer space, he can only speculate based on human knowledge.

"The Moon is relatively important to Earth and cannot be destroyed for now; otherwise, it would severely disrupt Earth’s ecology. So, I can only look for planets that have minimal interference with Earth."

After pondering for a moment, the first that came to mind was Mercury, which is closer to Earth.

Mercury is approximately 77 million kilometers from Earth at its nearest, with a diameter of about four thousand kilometers, making it the smallest among the eight planets in the Solar System.

So eliminating Mercury would have the least impact on the planet trajectories within the Solar System.

In comparison, destroying Venus would make Earth’s nights darker. Venus, influenced by the greenhouse effect, is the hottest planet in the Solar System and the second brightest object in the night sky after the Moon.

If Mars were eliminated, it would cause some asteroid belts to deviate.

If Jupiter were eliminated, it could severely alter the orbits of Earth and other planets, because Jupiter is the largest of the eight planets and has a mass 2.5 times the sum of the other seven.

Similarly, the disappearance of Saturn and Uranus would only cause orbit deviations for some other planets, but it might affect the entire Solar System’s ecology, possibly leading to a butterfly effect on Earth.

So after thorough consideration, the best target for Wang Ye to test his practice would be Mercury. Even if Mercury is destroyed, it would hardly affect Earth’s ecological environment.

At most, it would make the Solar System a bit lonelier.

Wang Ye plans to take this opportunity on his lunar trip to stake out Mercury.

As for the distance, he isn’t too worried.

It’s known that outer space has no atmosphere, and the resistance is extremely low, which means his speed will significantly increase once he reaches outer space, whether the increase is double, triple, or more is unknown and needs to be tested.

Moreover, after mastering the Merit System and Samadhi True Fire, the propulsion of his Telekinesis is boosted by 1.5 times. If he reaches outer space and can barely achieve one hundred Mach with enhanced Telekinesis, then reaching Mercury wouldn’t be difficult.
