Crime Prison Island

Chapter 492: Ultimate Lifeform


Feng Wuji remained silent for a long time.

He excelled at imitating various technologies; before it was the Emperor Ran's, and later it was Tai Sui's.

Besides that, he could master other human technologies just by looking at them once.

Only these two required 'imitation', merely counterfeiting.

Because he barely understood them; he hadn't grasped the core concepts and lacked the 'mental method'.

Lacking reason and method, simply put, for these two dark logic concepts, his learning and understanding could only stay at the surface level.

In fact, he knew this himself; after all, understanding is understanding, and not understanding is not understanding.

But he had a lucky thought, wondering if even learning just a little would suffice. Step by step, it had to start from the basics.

As long as he could capture Tai Sui, there would be ample time, and he could eventually acquire everything from Tai Sui.

Just like this time, he planned to fuse with Tai Sui.

However, after repeated failures, this time, he faced a complete defeat.

Imitating Tai Sui would only widen the gap between him and Tai Sui even more!

"To learn from you is to live? To mimic you is to die?"

"But I'm learning from you, I've even added my own interpretations, not completely copying..."

Feng Wuji muttered.

Gao Xin chuckled slightly, "That's even worse, don't introduce your own interpretations... Half-learning will kill you faster."

"Huh?" Feng Wuji was startled.

Gao Xin said seriously, "Actually, all the core things, I taught you the first time we met."

"Back then, I genuinely wanted to discuss with you, but unfortunately, you couldn't understand, even fainted... and then..."

Feng Wuji was silent. And then? Then his people fought with Tai Sui.

He understood, it wasn't some cyber curse, but rather Gao Xin's grasp of the 'reason' was too advanced and beyond human comprehension, causing the brain to shield itself for self-protection.

"So, you know others can't comprehend, so you teach casually..."

Gao Xin raised an eyebrow, "Huh? I wish you could all learn it; this is the power everyone should have."

"I have always been committed to finding a method to awaken people's Heart Power, but unfortunately, they all failed."

"I thought you could understand, after all, you have Insight into Divinity."

"Unfortunately, even you can't comprehend dark logic, so there's nothing I can do, you still have mortal intelligence."

"You..." Feng Wuji gritted his teeth.

The fact that he didn't believe in this evil made him repeatedly try to gain this knowledge beyond his understanding from Tai Sui.

After all, the things he couldn't see through, besides the Emperor Ran, were Tai Sui.

And Emperor Ran was nowhere to be found, Tai Sui was the only unknown object he could contact, so naturally, he desperately wanted to control and acquire Tai Sui.

Yet, the truth proved it was something he could never obtain.

It wasn't just a matter of strength; even if he captured Tai Sui alive and studied it daily, it would be useless.

The more he learned, the worse he became! The logical constructs he painstakingly built were a pile of rubbish, and the biological weapons he meticulously imitated were mere toys at Gao Xin's disposal to destroy as he pleased.

Such a defeat was devastating.

"How on earth did you comprehend this? Are you truly the 'Holy Seer'?"

Gao Xin replied calmly, "Call it Holy Seer, if you must, that's how I comprehended it..."

"After twenty years of confusion, enlightenment dawned on me in a single moment, I don't even know how to tell you, understanding is understanding, and not understanding is not understanding."

Feng Wuji was in anguish, "So, is this the truth I can never grasp? I don't believe it! I don't believe it!"

His eyes once again filled with determination, suddenly he sprang up, and his head rapidly repaired.

"I'm just... not awakened enough."

"Salisrotan Baru, All-Seeing God, let me sell my soul to you..."

His voice grew increasingly ethereal, and then even his aura began to transform, and those eyes gradually lost their humanity.

Looking at others, it was as if he were looking at weeds and crabs.

Gao Xin was startled to see this; whatever that Salisrotan was, it seemed to be the personification of his divinity within.

He was being consumed by a demon!

No, he was fleeing into divinity!

Just like Yak, fully embracing divinity, transforming oneself into a tool of divinity, whose existence value was to display all attributes of one's divinity.

This made communication impossible; Feng Wuji would become more extreme, more arrogant, and more incommunicable. Because in his mind were only absolute thoughts, he could be said to have completely become another person.

Gao Xin hurriedly shouted, "Feng Wuji! You don't believe it, but I don't believe it even more!"

"I am more desperate than you to find a way to awaken everyone!"

"Otherwise, why do you think I used my blood to attract your attention? Why did I tell you about dark logic the first time we met? Why did I spare your life over and over again?"

"Because what I want is also within you!"

"Aren't you desperately trying to get me because you hope that my ability can merge with your Insight into Divinity?"

"This is possible!"

Hearing this, Feng Wuji was shaken all over, and his eyes once again showed astonishment.

"It is possible?"

Gao Xin said, "Didn't you believe that our combination could lead to the path of ultimate beings, to ultimate wisdom?"

"Yes, I think so too!"

"Although you can't do it, I can. I can learn your divinity."

"My mind is the key to breaking the shackles of the human heart. Because of this, I learned Yak's battle, Quinn's prophecy... You've seen all this, right?"

"The power I have awakened allows me to gain your divinity."

"Merely having insight into divinity cannot penetrate my path of awakening. But what if I add my wisdom to it?"

"That path must exist, and only by gaining your insight can I find it."

Feng Wuji was stunned, and his process of entering divinity stopped.

He retracted his humanity because what Gao Xin said made a lot of sense; it was all laid out in plain sight.

"If you gain my all-seeing power, can you find a way for me to awaken too?"

This was something he had thought about. However, his pride and stubbornness made him choose to achieve it himself rather than letting Gao Xin achieve it and then pass it to him.

Now, he had to consider setting aside his pride.

Gao Xin sternly pointed at his own temple. "What? Don't you believe in the wisdom you've been yearning for too?"

"You don't have my thinking; I don't have your insight, so neither of us can find that method."

"I don't want to promise that I can definitely do it, but if combining the two still can't create the true 'Path of Holy Awakening'..."

"Then why would you believe that mere insight into divinity can do it?"

"Do you think that Sharu in your mind is smarter than the two of us combined?"

This statement enlightened Feng Wuji.

Because it was a straightforward truth, if his insight plus Tai Sui couldn't create the Path of Holy Awakening, then why believe mere insight could? And to sell his very soul to this divinity?

And if it could, then why not cooperate directly with Gao Xin? Why sell his soul?

In an instant, his humanity fully returned.

He pulled back from the edge of fully embracing divinity and losing himself.

"No... it's not Sharu. His name is Salisrotan Baru! The All-Seeing God!"

"It is the divinity awakened within me that made me realize the power to discern the truths of all things and see through all appearances."

Feng Wuji said with a youthful fervor.

Gao Xin laughed heartily. "So you call yourself the Holy Seer? Is this what you mean? Manifesting inner divinity? Haha, isn't that just an alternate persona?"

"Unintentionally, you used Heart Power to subconsciously create a Fantasy Partner. I have those too, a whole bunch of them..."

"You've taken a small step... but what I consider Holy Awakening should be that you yourself are divine, ultimately using your own power to distort reality."

"Why sell yourself out? You should control it inwardly, because no one can defeat us within our own hearts."

Feng Wuji frowned. "You're too conceited. What people cannot control most is their own hearts."

"Pfft..." Gao Xin burst out laughing.

Unexpectedly, the incredibly intelligent and conceited Feng Wuji, who claimed enlightenment, would say something like this.

Feng Wuji said irritably, "What are you laughing at? Who in the world dares to claim they have a mind without distractions? Who dares to say they can restrain human desires?"

"I dare," Gao Xin replied with a faint smile.

Feng Wuji had a peculiar expression. "You? Don't think I don't know. You are greedy and insatiable. Your heart is full of desires, and you will stop at nothing to grow stronger. You started wars to get where you are today, and yet you claim to be free of desires?"

Gao Xin snorted and shook his head. "I didn't say I'm free of desires, but I can control them."

"Controlling oneself doesn't mean doing nothing, as if appearing aloof and ethereal means you've mastered yourself... Why? Are you controlling yourself just to perform for others? Then wouldn't you be unable to control the 'desire to perform'?"

"True self-control is understanding what should be done, what shouldn't be done, what can be done, and what won't be regretted after being done..."

"Then methodically, orderly, freely choose and achieve."

"For a higher goal, I can suppress all physiological desires, including dehydrating to death."

As he spoke, Gao Xin's body began to exude water.

Then he stretched out his hand, spraying fluid from his fingers like a water gun.

Not only that, burn wounds, cuts, and tears appeared on the back of his hand out of nowhere.

Then his fingers bent slightly and, with a snap, broke!

Then with another snap, they returned to normal, healing rapidly, cells knitting together, and then snapping and tearing again...

Feng Wuji watched in shock and amazement.

Gao Xin said calmly, "In my heart, all desires have their schedule. They go to work when it's their time and step aside when it's time to step aside, rather than various desires rushing in chaos... that's called losing control."

"When I don't want to fear, I absolutely don't fear. When I can't sleep, I definitely won't sleep. When I shouldn't be affected by hormones, I certainly am not affected... That's true self-control."

"I can even control all my memories, all my knowledge, summarizing and optimizing them into distinct consciousnesses, then custom scripting alternate personas."

"My self-control is so strong that it can even alter my body, twisting every physiological trait, potential, and quality condition..."

Gao Xin's display wasn't over yet. His current 'Taixui Body' was even more productive than before.

The cells in his extended left hand twisted and turned, becoming a tiger's paw! Furry, yellow-brown fur grew out, cells transforming into tiger cells.

Then the cells changed again, fur turning to feathers, tiger paw to eagle claw!

In a puff, his arm transformed into a wing, flapping.

On Gao Xin, various biological traits appeared and vanished in succession; he alone seemed like an evolutionary history of Earth's creatures...

Feng Wuji was utterly shocked, trembling. "Ulti... Ultimate being!"
