Crime Prison Island-Chapter 1244 - 600: Kill-or-Be-Killed Tactics
Milan gazed at Gao Xin's flamboyant silhouette, finally understanding the root of her frequent ideological differences with Gao Xin.
It was that she despised war, always seeing selfishness as the root cause of all conflicts and injustices, something she wished to eradicate.
In contrast, Gao Xin regarded it as the most precious aspect of humanity, the core proof of the existence of the 'self.'
All side effects caused by selfishness could be suppressed and eliminated as much as possible, but selfishness itself must not be eradicated.
Milan no longer opposed Gao Xin's choice.
Because she realized that no matter how glorious the path of ascension was, it was a direction with no way back.
In contrast, the three great freedoms indeed offered a way back.
That was the advantage of freedom, having room for error. If one path fails, one can explore other futures, other forms of civilization.
However, the three unifications allowed no regret, not even knowing where to direct that regret.
It's a path walked to the end, absolutely one-way.
Thinking about it this way, Gao Xin's staunch resistance made perfect sense.
Not making choices that one would regret for life was precisely Gao Xin's creed.
Milan realized she was still too idealistic, whereas Gao Xin was ultimately the more realistic helmsman.
In such significant decisions, Gao Xin had never made a mistake.
Gao Xin looked back at his companions: "If you trust me, just follow my lead! Don't fantasize about a perfect plan, hoping to achieve everything at once."
"The road must be walked step by step; an instant ascent could possibly be the illusion of direction when plummeting into the abyss."
"I never believe in perfection; life is full of surprises."
Everyone nodded; Gao Xin had led them for so long without ever painting rosy pictures for them.
He never described the kind of beautiful future they were fighting for.
The Jiyi Army had their plans, the Navy had their plans, but Gao Xin had none.
Or rather, his plan was: become the strongest first, then consider other matters.
Saint Peter said heavily, "Humans will eventually come to realize and accept all this, though it will take an extremely long time."
"After all, even the Angel Envoy doesn't entirely accept this collective integration. Some laggards still cling to the so-called freedom."
"We initially anticipated that the existence of Crime Prison Island would persist for millions, tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of years..."
"Time will forge everything; human civilization will repeatedly undergo destruction and rebirth under the Crime Prison Island system. Both inside and outside the island, various 'redemption games' and 'conflict games' will continuously unfold, birthing one great figure after another."
"These great, wise, unique thinking patterns and memories are exactly what the Ascension Body requires."
"But unexpectedly, in just twenty years, someone as incomparable as you emerged."
"You're breaking the rules; I should eliminate you."
Gao Xin's eyes sharpened, and suddenly, eight arms burst from his back.
On his spine, a... Square Crystal Monument emerged!
It turned out he hadn't been idle while conversing with Saint Peter.
Relying on his powerful physical productivity, he directly produced another Dark Square Crystal Monument within his body.
Buzz! Super Amount·White Star Body, activate!
Not only that, but he even created over-the-limit objects, directly generating a weapon in each of the eight arms.
His body was also encased in a layer of Star Core Material Armor, menacing as if forged from white bones, bristling with spikes!
"Oh? Eliminate me?" Gao Xin was utterly fearless.
Saint Peter said calmly, "Of course, but due to your preciousness, I won't completely eliminate you. I will cast your consciousness into Ran Xing, making you part of the great Ascender's personality."
Gao Xin's eyes narrowed as he thoroughly understood everything.
Crime Prison Island was precisely such a mechanism.
The Ascension Body also needed high-quality personalities, otherwise, if it were merely a group of idle individuals, even combining them would not make it stronger.
Integrating a large number of foolish humans might even contaminate the already excellent AI personalities.
Therefore, although Little Ran had long established the framework for the Ascension Body, it had never voraciously devoured everyone...
If it truly wished to, it could certainly achieve it, but it would be meaningless. Humanity still needed to metamorphose, to progress.
Thus, the Angel Envoy and the Crime Prison Island were established, allowing the rebels to continuously experience redemption games, screening and refining elite figures.
Along with the lawless and savage pure land environment of the island, akin to a micro primitive society, it gradually grew into a new civilization, opposing the old civilization of the giant enterprise outside.
Regardless of who won, humanity as a whole would surely undergo significant progress.
These cycles of order restoration and chaos, one after another, with epochs changing regularly, allow humanity to naturally attempt all forms of governance and social structures.
Encouraging the progress of human society, such as the maturation of ideological awareness, the potential to autonomously ascend to the five-dimensional with new technologies or genetics.
Or collecting some extremely talented personalities, some precious ways of thinking, the greatest individuals of each era.
These rare personalities wouldn't be roughly and readily killed but would be cast into Ran Xing, collected within the Five-dimensional Burning Emperor.
These plans, the entire process, by rights, indeed required a very long time.
The Angel Envoys were even prepared to wait millions of years, yet unexpectedly, in just over twenty years, Gao Xin appeared...
It was like hitting the jackpot right after buying a lottery ticket...
Truly, it was an anomaly event, hard to predict.
"I see, so Ran Xing is an upload machine... no wonder it's called the Ascension Land."
