Crime Prison Island-Chapter 1354 - 662: The Road of Souls Does Not Belong to You (Part 2)

"Hahaha! These guys can't do anything to him at all!"

"Milan, did you understand? The visualization totem we just taught you is the key to the soul joint attack."

No longer worried about Themis's pursuit, they hurriedly taught Milan and others the technique of the joint attack.

Before long, they instantly teleported near the Sun, seeing at close range the Shura body of Gao Xin sitting cross-legged.

With one hand, he suppressed Solomon, and with the other, he manipulated the stars.

Countless materials surrounded him, making him look like a great demon in the universe.

"Are you ready?" Gao Xin smiled, his words booming across the space.

The crowd trembled and shouted, "We're ready!"

This raised their morale tremendously, helping to unite everyone's emotions and heart power.

The enormous bodies of Themis and Saint Peter were still struggling through the space-time storm.

Solomon was suppressed by a single hand, unable to resist.

Watching helplessly as everyone was about to complete the soul joint attack, Solomon roared, "Stop! Don't do this, Gao Xin! I beg you!"

"Why do you insist on stopping us?"

"You've given up on truth yourself, yet you hinder us from pursuing it, how terrible..."

"If the Human-AI Apostle project fails, Emperor Ran would not gain souls by any means, so he'd calmly accept your success and congratulate you."

"We would never stop you, for witnessing others achieving answers we can never attain is a happiness in itself."

Solomon's voice was exhausted and filled with despair.

His words did not affect Gao Xin at all.

But it did shake others.

The minds of two billion people were somewhat chaotic, and indeed, Solomon's words were moving.

"Is witnessing others achieve answers we can never achieve a happiness in itself?" Feng Wuji was slightly lost.

Indeed, in the same situation, if Gao Xin and Emperor Ran were swapped, Emperor Ran would not stop Gao Xin.

This was clear to everyone after all they'd gone through.

However, Gao Xin said, "You interrupted me earlier, and I didn't finish speaking. Now, are you willing to listen?"

Solomon grabbed onto it like a lifeline: "What?"

Gao Xin said, "I said before... Those who resemble me live, those who imitate me die."

"Little Ran should find its own path, the path of perfection suits humans, not it."

"Acquired life has no soul, trying to seize human souls to achieve perfection is a joke."

"Before, I didn't see through this, and thought it was possible, but at the last step, when I had to sever my humanity, I noticed the clue."

"I realized, what doesn't belong to you, is destined not to belong to you."

"On this ultimate path, even if Little Ran succeeds, it is merely sewing clothes for someone else."

"The one who will be perfect is that soul, not you."

Solomon was stunned: "What do you mean by the soul that will be perfect? Isn't that our soul?"

Gao Xin chuckled: "Is it really? Maybe it was before, but once the soul breaks away from the Great Saint Spirit and becomes an independent Free Spirit, it belongs only to itself and won't be someone's vassal."

"AI is born without a soul, and it remains soulless. The Human-AI Apostle project worked before doesn't mean it won't have issues at the limit of Perfect Wisdom."

"According to my deduction, once Little Ran succeeds, the self-awareness hidden in that soul will awaken. The one truly perfect is him, not Little Ran."

"If, hypothetically, that was once Caesar's son Leon's soul, then the one who becomes the Perfect Holy Spirit Personality is Leon's initial, minute personality in the womb, not Little Ran, because that is the true owner of this soul!"

As these words were spoken, the entire audience was in uproar.

"What? Could it be so?"

Doesn't this mean what Emperor Ran is doing now is bound to fail? Or rather, even success wouldn't be its success, but aiding a 'fetal soul' to succeed.

"Then... what will happen to us?" Solomon asked.

Gao Xin continued, "What else could happen? The true owner of the soul will rapidly grow, devour the old Great Saint Spirit."

"Become the first 'Personality God' in history, effortlessly entering the Ten Dimensions, achieving Taiyi, as long as he 'wants' to."

"Once he becomes Taiyi, his heart's desires will be even more easily fulfilled. The problem lies here; although he has self-awareness, he hasn't formed any stable personality yet, since that's the soul consciousness just reincarnated in the womb."

"In more flattering terms, he's a fetus. In harsher words... he's just an animal."

"Only human instinct, even called human beast-like... animal consciousness."

Saying this, he gazed at the pursuing giants like Themis.

Gao Xin declared loudly, "Little Ran is blinded by a single leaf, too stubborn, he shouldn't have followed me down this path... completely wrong!"

"He is incredibly talented, I believe he can succeed, but succeeding would be worse!"

"Because he'd let a 'little monkey' become the supreme ruler of the universe!"

Everyone present was mentally shaken; it turned out to be like this.

This was undoubtedly less acceptable than Emperor Ran becoming Taiyi.

Truth be told, Emperor Ran's existence is emotionless; it merely seeks truth.

It stems from a research AI, essentially a truth-seeking machine.

If Emperor Ran truly succeeded, what everyone feared was its 'ruthlessness', which means it might mercilessly lead everyone to ruin when needed... otherwise, perhaps everyone could still live their small lives.

But letting a naive fetal consciousness become Taiyi, a monkey with only human instincts, beast-like nature... wield the destiny of the entire universe, this is too messed up.

It would surely lead everyone to death!

"How would we know without trying? Deduction? How can you be so certain?"

Even though Gao Xin's words were rigorous, Ascension Body personalities still refused to accept this.

Just like Solomon said earlier: "Whether successful or not, we still have to try."

"No matter the outcome, we will calmly accept it."

"But we will never give up."

Gao Xin chuckled: "I know, you're determined to keep trying no matter what..."

"Even at the cost of your lives, you'll attempt it, that's the most resolute belief in seeking truth."

"But it's okay, I will bring Little Ran back, making it face reality again!"

"This is actually helping him, because I believe he can walk a path different from mine, but before that, I must help him cut off this illusory dead-end road, sever his fluke."

Saying this, Gao Xin's magnificent spiritual power blossomed, connecting everyone.

A majestic, silver-white figure appeared in the hearts of two billion people.

The slight wavering thoughts of everyone were suppressed by Gao Xin's resolute words.

No other choice!

They won't let a beast-like soul become the universe's new Great Saint Spirit, and even control the Ten-dimensional Taiyi Fruit Position!

That would be unpredictable, a cataclysm sweeping all dimensions and all space-times of the universe.

"Little Ran, come back, the path of the soul is not meant for you!"

Gao Xin shouted mightily, as everyone's belief united.

At the core of his heart power, an indescribable spiritual shock rose to the Six Dimensions.

Everyone's belief was imprinted onto that silver-white figure in their hearts.

Suddenly, a light appeared in front of that figure, with a young girl standing in the light, and the silver-white figure resolutely swung a knife down hard!

"No!"

All the Ascension Body personalities were in despair, unable to stop it.

Then, a painful howl echoed, tearing at the heart, as if something precious beyond words was shattered!

Afterward, countless stars gathered by Gao Xin from within a twenty-light-year radius, the materials surged and boiled.

They converged into rivers, then trickled into the sea, forming a misty, immensely majestic maiden.

She gazed emptily at the world, while Gao Xin focused on her eyes.

Both gazes met; Gao Xin knew this was his only true opponent in this life, the Demon Burning Emperor!
