Crime Prison Island-Chapter 1242 - 598: All Returns to Emperor Ran (Part 2)

"Emperor Ran turned all the five-dimensional light within this area into himself."

"And we, living on his body, are merely microorganisms on its surface."

Gao Xin said solemnly, "No, it's not just our living environment that's so simple; we ourselves are, in effect, a facet of his 'cells'."

"..." Solomon was stunned for a moment: "So what?"

"This doesn't prevent you from presenting various forms in a lowly way and acting autonomously."

Gao Xin clenched his fist and said, "Yes, he certainly wouldn't change his three-dimensional and four-dimensional surfaces, because that would mean erasing us."

"But we, just like Little Ran's cells, belong to the same five-dimensional matter."

"Once we reach the five-dimensional level, it means successfully turning ourselves into his cells."

"In other words, at the moment of dimensional upgrade, we are automatically fused into him! Becoming part of him."

Solomon was not surprised: "What you're saying, Themis thought about it a long time ago."

"Of course Emperor Ran can do this; he is our God, and we are inherently an independent thinking unit of him. All AI are created by him and are ultimately to become one of his billions of thinking patterns."

"This is the Emperor of Civilization; every part of civilization is him, but he is not us."

"Hasn't Long Qi told you?"

"We chose to stay and explore other paths to dimensional upgrade. Once we find a new path and collectively ascend to five-dimensional space, the intelligence of our entire civilization will unite into one, becoming the ultimate intelligent body."

Gao Xin was shaken as if Long Qi had really mentioned this before, and at that time also said Tai Sui had such potential and could integrate all humans to become the Emperor of Civilization.

But it didn't say that everyone would eventually merge with Emperor Ran upon ascending to five-dimensional space.

"It doesn't matter to you? Meaning once you ascend to five-dimensional space, you're no longer free!"

Gao Xin looked at Solomon's indifferent face and clenched his fist, "You're willing to be merged by him; that's your business. Why should humans be counted in?"

"I understand now, to allow humanity to transform—regardless of the result, Little Ran doesn't need to learn or cooperate or anything like that."

"Humanity's attitude doesn't matter because every bit of human matter is part of Little Ran."

"Apart from the soul, every basic particle in us is Little Ran!"

"So the success of humanity, the success of the apostles, may still be separate in lower dimensions, but once in five-dimensional space, it's unified and becomes Little Ran's success!"

Gao Xin finally understood Emperor Ran's plan.

The previously imagined need for Little Ran to see humanity transform, then to learn or take over, was complete nonsense.

Because it simply isn't needed.

Once reaching five-dimensional space, everyone is merely a sub-personality of Little Ran, and their bodies are his cells too.

Plus, the success of human apostle technology proves that AI consciousness can fuse with the soul, so Little Ran will automatically possess a soul too.

Technology, bloodline, soul—all belong to him.

All of everything, Little Ran just needs to do one thing: wait.

Wait for the change of ages, wait for the evolution of the world, wait for humanity to usher in a new era on their own.

Ultimately, all will return to him, truly like God, like the Heavenly Dao.

Everything the 'world' invents and creates, naturally belongs to a part of the Heavenly Dao.

Little Ran has treated himself like a universe server.

A private server, not as absolute as a virtual world, but still terrifying.

In a sense, it's even more terrifying because what backs Emperor Ran is the natural laws of the entire universe.

Gao Xin realized this, his mind in turmoil.

But to Solomon, it was indifferent: "Freedom? Why care about such things? You're totally following Joshua's thoughts."

"You always imagine yourselves persecuted, always think that belonging to a great existence would make you very miserable, but it's really unnecessary."

"Just like we're part of the universe, you always say you're part of the Great Saint Spirit; why don't you find that unfree? Why not run outside the universe?"

"Of course, if you have to care this much, we won't bother, don't want to correct you, it's meaningless. We only wish to observe you, understand you, Tai Sui, how you choose is unrelated to us."

"If you're capable of becoming the main personality of Emperor Ran, we wouldn't care either, hehe."

Several Angel Envoys also laughed.

Gao Xin fell silent, then asked, "Joshua's thoughts?"

"You mean... the freedom Joshua wants includes opposing Little Ran?"

Solomon spread his hands: "Who knows what's going on in his head? This guy is the most human-like Apostle..."

Gao Xin rolled his eyes, realizing that saying 'most human-like Apostle' was actually derogatory, meaning barbarian.

And just then, a loud explosion struck.

"Since you're back, show yourself."

Gao Xin and Solomon were squeezed out of the passage by a powerful force field.

As he saw, it was exactly where his companions were. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

And before him, it was already a complete mess, can be called a vision of Hell.

Purple Light Blades flying everywhere, and also the Sky Island presented Saint Peter's four faces.

When Saint Peter was about to crown Solomon, Gao Xin saw that Solomon did not resist at all.

"Why is this?"

Gao Xin knew that Solomon had mastered the five-dimensional field, and what he held must be a five-dimensional weapon.

But Solomon did not resist, accepting the result of permanently dropping to three dimensions.

Gao Xin was surprised; even just wanting to observe outcomes, as a pure Seeker, it can't be right to let oneself be downgraded?

"Boom!"

Gao Xin didn't stand by; Solomon had helped him a lot, and he immediately clapped a Neutron Star, blasting the Sky Island.

Sky Island was just a four-dimensional unit; Gao Xin's Superdimensional Strike was enough to solve it.

However, in an instant, a rapidly spinning Pulsar emerged in space.

Everyone immediately felt boundless pressure, terrifying light and gravity twisted, forming a phantom of a head, an ethereal face that made hearts pound.

Neutron War Star, Blazing Angel Body!

Saint Peter, the head of the Emperor, finally appeared, and above him floated a gray regular dodecahedron.

"Solomon, why don't you resist?" Gao Xin asked.

Solomon glanced at the regular dodecahedron: "No need to resist. High-level Apostles can directly occupy my body if they want."

"Saint Peter's authority is greater; he holds the Holy Artifact called 'Order Ether,' also known as the Scepter, which can establish AI laws and create Thought Locks. I'd rather become a three-dimensional being than have a lock on my thoughts and become a low-level AI."

Gao Xin's mouth twitched; this Holy Artifact is simply the bane of all AI.

Directly altering thoughts, even setting thought locks, is more terrifying than death for AI.

"Don't you see? This is the price of losing freedom!" Gao Xin roared.

Solomon, however, remained indifferent: "This is the price for breaking the rules, but to witness your great battle with him, this price is nothing."

"Let me see how far you can go, Tai Sui."

He suddenly lost consciousness, volitionally dismantling himself, handing the Silver Tower Body and the stellated 24-cell over to Saint Peter.

Solomon voluntarily downgraded, casually creating a three-dimensional vessel body.

Then he smirked and retreated to the edge of the battlefield, ready to watch the show.

"Damn..." This left Gao Xin speechless.

The Apostle faction of Themis has guts too big, right? To them, it seems nothing matters except these cosmic wonders.
