Chapter 803 427: Flesh Is Frail, Machine Ascends

In this supply, there's more than just food and drinking water; there are clothes, research equipment, and so on. If even food can be activated, then so can these things.

Therefore, many things cannot be preserved for a long time.

If the closure exceeds seven days, running out of food is the most basic issue.

Gu Shanhai calls this winning without bloodshed.

If we really wait three to five months, aside from the Navia Emperor, all would have mutated into cancerous life forms, which is more painful than killing those senators.

Before this, the senators who had gone to the cancer universe privately were very much in favor of Jile Technology's modification of the public. It's just that they had to keep up appearances, so it wasn't too obvious.

For them, modification was a good thing. Once modified, even if the cancer universe was exposed, it would be impossible for the public to enter the cancer universe because the inorganic matter in their bodies would be activated into cancerous life forms, thus threatening themselves.

Immortality is impossible; there's something in your body competing with you for life.

The unexpected outcome was that they were all controlled by Gu Shanhai, who casually dealt with them.

Gu Shanhai never thought of using the Ascension Empire to deal with the cancer universe. The cancer universe was originally another farm of his, and even from an earlier time.

Before severing the connection between the two realms, Gu Shanhai also entered the cancer universe for research.

He easily found the Navia Emperor, who was severely injured by the Eternal Sleep Giant. At this time, the Eternal Sleep Giant had already replaced Gu Shanhai, becoming a dominant force in the cancer universe, continually roaming the cosmos and merging a large number of cancerous life forms. Its size also grew increasingly enormous.

Compared to Gu Shanhai, however, it was still somewhat small.

But as a piece of chive, Gu Shanhai was still very satisfied.

Unfortunately, it hasn't fully matured yet and needs some time.

Moreover, Gu Shanhai also discovered that the Eternal Sleep Giant was intentionally searching for the Navia Emperor.

Apparently, it had become aware that the proto-ghost energy within the Navia Emperor, which was one step away from transforming into the concept of death, could be extremely beneficial to it.

As long as the Eternal Sleep Giant merged with the Navia Emperor, it could break through its own limits and become an existence on a higher level.

If the Navia Emperor could also merge with the Eternal Sleep Giant, he too could be reborn.

However, both sides have their own weaknesses; the Navia Emperor has the brains but lacks the strength of the Eternal Sleep Giant, while the Eternal Sleep Giant is powerful but not as clever as the Navia Emperor.

Therefore, after the Navia Emperor fled, the Eternal Sleep Giant couldn't find him, blindly merging with other cancerous life forms while wandering the universe in search.

As for who would win or lose, Gu Shanhai didn't know, nor did he care.

To him, no matter who won, they would still be harvested by him.

Previously, he thought the Navia Emperor would be the protagonist of the two universes, hence his concern, but now it was different; the protagonist of the cancer universe was clearly the Eternal Sleep Giant.

The Eternal Sleep Giant was created by him; whether it's its external elixir, divine contract, or abilities, they were all under Gu Shanhai's control. Moreover, Gu Shanhai possessed its root of fate, which was still buried beneath the roots of the flourishing peony. No matter how much it jumped around, the Eternal Sleep Giant was merely a puppet in his hands.

Even if it were to truly break free from control, with the power of the flourishing peony, it could instantly make the Eternal Sleep Giant fall from grace.

And if the Navia Emperor rashly fused with the Eternal Sleep Giant, breaking into a higher level, he would naturally inherit everything from the Eternal Sleep Giant, including debts and various controlled powers.

The power of the Eternal Sleep Giant comes from Gu Shanhai; the Navia Emperor doesn't know this, will definitely not give up. Even if he discovered it, it wouldn't matter. He would still take the gamble; after all, how could he possibly give up on such enticing power?

"Plans never catch up with changes," Gu Shanhai couldn't help but sigh. Others make a single mistake and the entire game is ruined, but when Gu Shanhai makes a mistake, he sets the whole game; it just shows that his luck is not wasted.

With so many protagonists' fortunes blessing him, amidst the mysterious designs of Heaven, although not everything he wishes for comes true, it allows certain things to lean his way just a bit. And as long as he seizes this slight tilt, it's enough to change the whole picture.

Of course, it's also because of his caution that he didn't make a grandiose move against the Navia Emperor.

He hoped that the Navia Emperor and the Eternal Sleep Giant would fuse soon, so that the harvest on the side of the cancer universe could be expedited a bit.

Doing so indeed increased the original one percent chance of failure to five percent, multiplying the risk by five times.

Fortunately, it's okay; even if it crashes, Gu Shanhai can suppress it.

Now Gu Shanhai is the world's prototype, being of an uncle level to these two. Only when they become the world can they wrestle with him, otherwise, no matter how strong, a Child of Destiny can't possibly beat their uncle.

The harvest is sure to be substantial; it was initially just a source of food, at most only able to ripen one of the Twin Flowers. Now it's fully possible to mature them all at once, saving time and effort while allowing Gu Shanhai more data for his research, so he can have better experience in finding the next universe to harvest.

"It's a pity, for the past month, the quantum collider hasn't found any coordinate passages to other universes; otherwise, it would have been much easier."

As long as the Navia Emperor is not the protagonist of the two universes, Gu Shanhai considers this a de facto exile for him, letting the two protagonists battle it out without worry.

Otherwise, Gu Shanhai would indeed have a headache.

"Does there really have to be a protagonist...?"

Gu Shanhai was somewhat helpless, he had thought about how to solve this, and there should be several protagonist avatars that could do this, like He Lingyun, who would be quite suitable if only his avatar didn't come with the entire Iron-Blood Utopia.

Since developing the Three-Life Spiritual Plant too much, the avatars summoned are no longer single individuals but entire forces.

The last time he summoned, He Lingyun's avatar came directly with the whole Iron-Blood Utopia, interstellar battleships, cosmic fortresses, space psionic warriors, and so on.

Atilis was better, with eighty-eight Round Table Knights and one million eight hundred eighty-eight thousand Holy Grail Expedition Team, each not just with dragons or griffins, but forces composed of various mythical and legendary aberrations.

He didn't dare summon Huang Yanshan; his Dashu Empire might have already turned into a place full of madmen. If summoned, the entire world might go insane.

Because his perfected magnetic rotation system might be infectious.

Before, it was only a vague phantom that couldn't transmit infection; now as an avatar, it might definitely bring chaos to the world.

If a group of ascended iron cans used magnetic rotation, Gu Shanhai feared he couldn't suppress an AI crisis.

As for the others, Gu Shanhai dismissed the idea; the Xuanzhen Sect's situation was unknown, the Reincarnator Alliance seemed somewhat weird, Jiang Lu he feared might overcrowd this planet, and if Rein came, he would likely bring along an already near-anomalous human civilization, leading to a possible pandemonium.

Attached to Rein is a Divine Contract and a Holy Land·Capital existence, and these two abnormalities indirectly bind human civilization, if significantly affected, they could drag the entire universal phantom along.

So Gu Shanhai didn't dare test further, would wait to call in external aid if a real crash happened in the future.

"No protagonists come, otherwise... should I impersonate one?" Gu Shanhai looked at the flourishing peony; this thing could also elevate his fortune directly to a protagonist's level, but a secluded place had to be found.

Otherwise, if he adjusted the value to a thousand points of luck, he worried the whole planet would meet an untimely demise.

This could indeed happen, mainly if he pulled recklessly.

"Then, find a planet exhausted of value to try it, preferably far from my Ascension Empire, to avoid being implicated."
