Chapter 319: Beco a Bullet
ng Chao heard faint cracking sounds in his arms.
He had activated his vitality spirit energy magnetic field repeatedly, and it drained his spirit energy until there was practically nothing left.
Gao Ye suddenly turned around and yanked the chains, which made ng Chao shudder.
In the darkness, the Ultimate Sandworm opened its mouth, which was more than five ters wide, and released a foul-slling puff of air at ng Chao. It caused his features to be blown away from their original positions.
“Let go. Don’t force my hand. I don’t want to hurt you,” Gao Ye said.
In the depths of the dark cave, Gao Ye, with his aquatic dragon-like body, looked like a demon who had co out from hell.
ng Chao’s skin crawled.
His nightmare overlapped with reality.
Even though the current Gao Ye was definitely not as strong as the Supernatural Entity from his previous life and he definitely did not evolve to his limits, which ant that he was “incomplete”, just like the White Spirit, ng Chao could not hope to win against him. He was only a two-star superhuman.
ng Chao only hoped that the internet was good enough so that Lu Siya could get an accurate read of his location.
He braced his courage and said, “I-I don’t want to hurt you either! Gao Ye, turn back! You’ll still make it if you turn back now!”
“The chance of personally experiencing consciousness transfer is a one in a million chance. Since I’ve already taken this step forward, how could I possibly turn back?”
Gao Ye controlled the Ultimate Sandworm’s huge mouth to make another smile. This ti, it was no longer as monstrous. But it could also be said to look more monstrous because it was much more human-like.
“Besides, look at this brand new body. Look at how strong, mighty, and beautiful it is. Aside from being able to dig through the rock stratum and clear tunnels, it has the combined advantages of various nervous systems. I can sense my calculation abilities and ntal power having increased by a large degree.
“I can now easily solve many of the problems that have troubled in the past. Countless formulae, calculation thods, and recipes for drugs are appearing in my head. This is an experience that cannot be matched by anything else. There are no words that can describe it. I really should have made up my mind earlier to switch to the body of a monster!”
“You said it yourself! This is the body of a monster!” ng Chao shouted. “Look at you! Gao Ye, are you going to cast aside your identity as a human for power and intelligence?!”
“I’ve never thought about casting aside my identity as a human, but what is the definition of a human?” Gao Ye asked faintly. “Work created humans, and humans continued evolving because of work. However, when we transmigrated to the Other World, we faced a new world where there is plenty of spirit energy, and supernatural powers awakened in us. Countless normal people fell behind in a race for power, and they are about to be weeded out of the competition.
“As superhumans slowly ca into control of human civilization and used various divine arts, secret techniques, and amazing skills to increase their productivity to the max, many normal people lost their right and ability to work. They can no longer find jobs that allow them to contribute to civilization.
“They are forced to stay at ho or stay there as if it’s their God given right while enjoying the material benefits given by the superhumans in charity. Then, they use all sorts of pointless entertainnt products to make themselves numb.
“As ti passes, the superhumans will beco even stronger, and the automatized technology will beco much more advanced. There might also be Other World’s locals who will be willing to beco cheap labor. The normal people and their descendants will then beco unable to find their place in their own civilization.
“Even if more than one hundred years pass and the superhumans are still willing to provide for the basic survival needs of the normal people, do you think that those normal people will have the right to be known as humans when they can only survive because of the charity of the superhumans?
“I know what I look like right now. Perhaps I am the very definition of a demon in the eyes of the world with how ugly and deford I am, but that’s nothing.
“At the very least, while I look like this, I can think and work, and my work efficiency and fighting power is not lower than that of a superhuman. I can contribute to human civilization. In this manner, I am still a human in every sense of the word, and I have the right to be proud of myself!”
Gao Ye used every bit of his strength to say those words.
At the sa ti, two powerful gusts ca from his pores and mouth. They blew ng Chao eight ters away.
Fortunately, the earth behind him was loose, and he did not end up with internal injuries because of it.
But Gao Ye’s ntal power was like a wave that continuously charged at ng Chao’s mind. It caught him in the circular logic that caused Gao Ye to experience his spirit energy deviation.
“Besides, when the distance between both parties widens to the max, do you think that superhumans will still provide for the normal people forever and without any principles?” Gao Ye smiled coldly. “Humans have never been a single entity since ancient tis. There has always been inequality.
“Even if centuries have passed and the illusion that humans are equal appeared on Earth, that’s not because those above us decided to be rciful, fair, and just. It’s because of the developnt of technology and the appearance of firearms. They made a stinky farr who had only trained for a few months to be able to end the life of a knight of noble blood with one cheap bullet, even if that knight was dressed in fine armor and had trained for decades.
“If that stinky farr did not have any guns, would the knight co forward to hug him and pat his chest to say that he was willing to fight for the farr?
“But tis have changed, ng Chao. Tis have changed. The transmigration and the appearance of spirit energy and supernatural abilities brought us back to the age of knights.
“The knights of the new age are the superhumans who are in control of destructive power. They’re much stronger than the armored knights from the past. Forget about using one bullet to kill them. Even if a normal person drives a plane with a cannon on it or an entire carrier battle group, it might not threaten a superhuman’s life.
“If we allow supernatural power to develop in the sa direction, the distance between superhumans and normal people will soon be one hundred tis the distance between the armored knights and farrs in the Middle Ages. By then, the idea of humans being born equals will be a joke. Our civilization will definitely fall into an abyss much darker than the Middle Ages.
“If we want to solve this problem, we can’t rely on the kindness, justice, and morality of superhumans. We can’t believe the foolish words that superhumans are the weapons of human civilization and that the strong are supposed to shed their blood for the weak. The farrs can only rely on themselves.
“The farrs of the new age must look for a bullet of the new age to keep the knights of the new age in check.
“And I am that bullet.
“Once the consciousness transferring technology becos more developed, normal people will be able to turn into what I am now at any mont. The matchless fighters who stand high above the normal people will then have to think seriously about how superhumans and normal people are supposed to coexist, right?”
Once Gao Ye finished speaking, he squird about and dug deeper into the maze.
“Wait!” ng Chao was incredibly anxious, but he could not stop him by force. He could only shout, “Gao Ye, even if you start off at the right starting point, you might not reach the right destination! Even if your beliefs are noble and mighty, they can change while you try to realize your dreams!
“D-Didn’t you say that the monsters’ nervous system will interfere with the human consciousness?!
“Look at you now! You don’t even have a proper brain. No matter how thick the Ultimate Sandworm’s nerve bundles are, will they really be able to carry your consciousness and thinking processes without changing for five years?!
“It’s impossible! Your experint will definitely fail!
“Your consciousness has just been transferred, so it’s natural that you can still maintain a clear sense of self and cognitive abilities. You can even use the brand new nervous system to increase your calculative abilities and ntal powers.
“But just like how there will be rejections with organ transplants, there will definitely be distortions and rejections with this sort of soul transplant.
“Trust . It’s impossible for you to maintain your current condition for a long ti. Soon, your mories will fade away bit by bit. Your consciousness will continuously distort, and your soul will shatter as the monster’s instincts will continuously try to give you direction.
“In the end, you will forget everything. You’ll forget your human identity, your noble ideals, and the oath you took so solemnly. You will turn into a real monster, and you’ll end up as a superbeast that is even more terrifying than an Apocalyptic Beast!”
Gao Ye stopped squirming around.
He tilted his head and thought about ng Chao’s words.
“Don’t you dare to say that you won’t!” ng Chao said fiercely. “You ntioned it yourself that this is the first ti you completely cast your consciousness into the Ultimate Sandworm’s neural work! It’s impossible for you to achieve real success!”
Gao Ye was silent for half a second.
Then, he put on a smile that was incredibly similar to a human’s.
“Indeed. I will definitely fail,” he said faintly. “There is a certain chance that I will forget my human identity, my ideals, and my oath, which will... turn into a complete monster. But that’s fine. It’s all the sa.”
ng Chao was stunned. “W-What do you an that it’s fine and it’s all the sa?”
“Failure is the mother of success. Soone must take the first step. In the subsequent days, I will write my experint log every day and record my mories, thought processes, and changes in my neural responses. I will record the entire process of turning from a human to a monster. Perhaps there will co a day when I will lose my sense of self completely, but before that, I will announce all my experintal data, and soone will continue down the path I have opened,” Gao Ye said.
“As for why I told you that it’s fine and all the sa, it’s simple. I need to beco a bullet that threatens the superhumans. That’s all I need to do. Even if I turn into a real monster, I will be a major threat to the superhumans and present the normal humans with an ‘ultimate thod’ to keep the superhumans in check. That’s enough, don’t you think?”
“What?” ng Chao was dumbfounded.
He did not expect that this was the truth behind why Gao Ye ended up as a Supernatural Entity.
As he faced Gao Ye and the circular logic he created and trapped himself in, ng Chao did not know what to say to stall for ti.
Fortunately, at that mont, he could vaguely sense a few powerful vitality magnetic fields approaching from above.
Gao Ye released a cold snort through his pores.
Various sections of his body swelled up, and countless spikes grew from the folds.
Before Lu Siya and her reinforcents could get into the tunnel, Gao Ye opened his mouth wide and aid at the walls above his head. Then, he fired a peerless air cannon.
Boom!
A large area of the rock stratum above them collapsed.
Stones and earth weighing more than one thousand tons fell down.
