Free Web NovelChapter 597: Chapter 597
"Sophia, I’ve never liked the word ’exploit.’"
"Instead of ’exploit,’ I prefer the term ’mutual benefit...’"
"Everyone... this world is simply too small."
"It truly cannot accommodate our repeated conflicts, and I doubt anyone here enjoys a lose-lose outcome."
"I have simply proposed the most perfect solution for all of you."
"Jua, if you wish to completely purify the entire world, that would be tantamount to making enemies of all the Moon-level beings... Even you cannot guarantee victory against every one of us, can you?"
Yakartikto, Naraku, Yug, White...
Every Moon-level being present was no ordinary existence in the world. Even though Jua was innately transcendent, she did not stand unrivaled among them.
"I believe none of us are madmen who enjoy fighting."
"I imagine the God of War has not yet joined our ranks."
"As for Kanzaki Rei,"
"He is no mere wish-granting machine."
"I naturally have ways to help him resist the spiritual impact from other timelines and maintain his sense of self."
"In fact, this problem has already been resolved."
Yug looked toward Kanzaki Rei.
Kanzaki Rei knew exactly what Yug was referring to.
If he absorbed a large amount of new spirituality, it could indeed create another issue: too much spirituality flooding in might cause him to stop being himself.
A person is the sum of their memories and experiences.
Spirituality from other timelines would be chaotic and mixed, likely carrying large portions of other people’s life experiences—pulled in without reincarnation.
If he absorbed too many foreign memories and lives...
It would be like the Corruption Source Nest taking over a body. With 99.9999...% of the experiences belonging to the Corruption Source Nest, the remaining sliver of human experience would feel as brief as a short dream.
Even now, Kanzaki Rei still felt a slight sense of unreality.
Because in truth, he was not the one being possessed.
If anything, he was currently the possessor—he had taken over the Corruption Source Nest.
And if the issue was one of consciousness,
the God-Tier talent 「Perception Segmentation」 possessed a uniquely terrifying aspect: the segmented portion of his consciousness that remained was forever the highest level.
Only the current Kanzaki Rei would dominate all consciousness.
Any external memories and consciousnesses would be directly demoted to secondary status. Kanzaki Rei could utilize them as easily as calling upon additional avatars.
While the Moon-level beings remained silent,
one voice directly expressed its stance.
"If that is the case, then I agree to him becoming a future Moon-level being."
Sophia: "Hey, Pega, are you serious?"
"If he truly becomes an existence above Moon-level, what he wants to do later will be beyond our control."
Pega’s voice resounded deeply like the core of a distant galaxy. "Perhaps."
"But I am willing to believe in the possibility of peace he brings."
"At the very least, he chose to exist as a human between the Corruption Source Nest and humanity... I believe he is a life that yearns for peace."
"Besides, Sophia."
"This is the ultimate life form you have been seeking, is it not?" Pega hit the mark with a single sentence.
Sophia’s gaze locked tightly onto Kanzaki Rei.
Though her expression remained calm, a faint glistening droplet could be glimpsed at the corner of her mouth—she was practically salivating over him.
Yug brought his fingertips together and continued in a low, devilish whisper, tempting them. "Pega, your divine kingdom is also nurturing civilization. You should know that civilizations seek a way out."
"Once a planet faces an energy crisis, they will find ways to leave their home world and search for habitable zones on more planets."
"I believe we Moon-level beings should do the same."
"One timeline is not our entirety. All our conflicts stem from insufficient resources."
"Everyone, none of us fight purely for the sake of slaughter, correct?"
Yug smiled sinisterly once more. "Sophia."
"If you could reach a world where you are the only Moon-level being, you could even attempt to devour all life in that world and fuse every living being."
"You could even swallow all the spirituality of an entire timeline."
Hearing Yug’s description,
Sophia could not help but swallow hard.
Her activities in this world had been so unsuccessful precisely because these damnable beings constantly checked one another. Every time she tried to carry out a plan, someone would step in to obstruct her.
In the end she might still gain something, but progress was far too slow.
If she continued clashing with these Moon-level beings,
who knew how long it would take before she could complete her ultimate life form project.
"Yug."
"You know what? I really hate you, but I have to admit... your proposal does tempt me."
"But you’re definitely hiding something from us." fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
"Therefore, no matter how much you try to seduce me, I will not agree to this until you have explained the full truth."
Yug shrugged lightly, a faint smile on his face as he looked at the others present.
In the end,
only Yakartikto expressed full agreement.
White maintained an indifferent attitude.
As for the remaining Moon-level beings, even Pega—who had shown signs of approval earlier—indicated they would wait for Yug’s response.
Yug scratched his head helplessly.
"Sigh, it really isn’t that simple."
"To corrupt spirituality, one must actually borrow the essence of the Corruption Source Nest. In other words, Kanzaki Rei needs to wield the power of the Corruption Source Nest to devour spirituality."
"On the other hand, once Kanzaki Rei begins devouring spirituality,"
"He will inevitably face counterattacks from other timelines. What I mean is... other timelines have their own Moon-level beings as well."
"We may still have to oppose the ’Jua,’ ’Naraku,’ and others from those timelines..."
After Yug finished, the entire round table fell into silence once more.
Sophia impatiently tapped the table. "Are you looking for a beating?"
"Do we have to ask piece by piece before you say anything? Such important matters—how long were you planning to keep them hidden?"
"You’ve made a habit of saying only half and hiding the rest, haven’t you?"
Yug smiled apologetically but continued unhurriedly despite Sophia’s reprimand. "Of course. I would never propose something that would lead us to certain death."
"Everyone, we are actually quite unique."
"Only this timeline of ours has Aegimira’s existence... Other timelines do not have Aegimira, and without the God of Time, they lack the possibility of traversing timelines."
"In other words, the initiative is actually in our hands."
"We do not need to directly confront worlds with powerful Moon-level beings. We only need to collect from certain aftermath scenarios..."
"As for the specific method..."
Yug gently transmitted his thoughts to every person present. They felt an immense amount of knowledge, much of which far surpassed what current life forms had ever explored.
It was as if the world’s exploration of knowledge had only taken a single step,
while Yug had already advanced millions upon millions of steps.
