Chapter 250: Chapter 248 Mistake

Wei Tianyang crushed Zoe’s breastbone with his foot, watching as she turned to black ash before his eyes, then into a black wisp of human-shaped smoke, screaming as she was absorbed into Wei Tianyang’s body.

Although he had already drawn her abilities from Zoe’s spine, when the deceased Zoe was absorbed into his body, Wei Tianyang still felt he had gained some kind of power.

No, more precisely, his power had been enhanced. He could sense the hearts and minds of those around him growing more complicated and clearer.

Perhaps the range of his detection had expanded, or perhaps his perceptive abilities had strengthened. Either way, it was a good thing.

And at the moment Zoe was absorbed into Wei Tianyang’s body, chunks of memories surged forth—her thoughts, as well as her final considerations as a person.

He took on Zoe’s role in this cascade of memories, seeing the path she had walked and the choices she had made over the past 20 years through her eyes...

She had sworn an oath to the flag, and had followed the arrangements set by those above her, joining the military to venture into unknown borders in the name of justice.

She had killed for her country, and the country had honored her in return.

At the age of 28, she met her other half and gave birth to two children. That same year, she joined the Superpower Special Department and became a Mind Listener.

From that year on, her life underwent drastic changes, and in the following years, her personality also became quieter.

She was a highly classified secret within the military, and anyone who wanted to meet her had to wear a meme blocker. The inner thoughts of her family were laid bare before her.

She knew very well that the world was full of lies, but only after acquiring the ability to read minds did she realize that even at over 30 years old, she wasn’t prepared to face reality.

She was like the child who saw the naked king.

Soldiers are supposed to be loyal to their country and their mission, but this phrase is fundamentally a lie.

A country is a fictitious symbol, a collection of people. A group of people can only be loyal to another group of people, not to a symbol.

The real intentions behind the government’s orders were in complete contradiction with their stated purposes.

For the politicians’ needs, many were labeled terrorists and died under gunfire.

Those who sparked the flames of war claimed they were acting in self-defense. The invaded countries, defending themselves, were identified by the Western Alliance as "instigators of war."

She had helped her country gain a massive advantage... but she didn’t want to accept any more medals.

Two months ago, she received a mission—to follow a team to a designated location in Lusimin City, receive a VIP target sent from Churi Country, and then safely escort them to a certain organization’s territory.

Even though Fogen wore a meme blocker, through touch, she found clues in the short-term memories of others.

What she was supposed to escort was a girl naturally born with superpowers without the need for Black Medicine injections.

An organization called ’Dawn of Mankind’ was ready to dissect her, studying her flesh and blood. Moreover, there was a woman in Lusimin City researching ’reincarnation’ technology named Hasegawa Chiharu.

She had been granted special permission to use the entire city’s population for ’rebirth’ experiments and could continue to utilize the girl’s superpowers for research until the allotted time was up.

The whole affair sickened her, and the seeds of rebellion had begun to sprout in her heart. She planned to find and kill that woman after entering Lusimin City...

However, once Zoe actually came into contact with this woman, she found that Chiharu was peaceful, gentle, cultivated, and always harbored a certain conviction in her heart—she wanted to grant all of humanity immortality.

The decay of the body was irreversible, but the spirit could endure forever.

The existence of objective reality provided a foundation for Chiharu’s research to come to fruition.

Zoe also learned of another organization called the Lingxian Sect from Chiharu’s memories.

Both organizations were vying for the girl, and Churi Country was unable to refuse, so under the arrangement of the two major forces, she was sent to Libitelli.

And Wei Tianyang’s own country had already been infiltrated by Humanity’s Dawn until it was riddled like a sieve. Compared to Churi Country, Libitelli wasn’t any better off.

By the time they met, Zoe had already intended to kill, but Chiharu’s mind didn’t contain what she wanted to see.

All the sorrows of the world stem from the fear of death. All greed stems from the brevity of life.

Fear and greed give rise to a variety of societal problems, and so, Chiharu believed that death was humanity’s ultimate cancer.

If one could transcend death, all problems could be solved.

In Chiharu’s consciousness, she was thus firmly convinced, she was not the naked king.

Moreover, the technology of "rebirth" had indeed been realized, but it still lacked a large amount of data and couldn’t be widely disseminated. Additionally, due to interventions from Churi Country’s cabinet, she was unable to make her ideal a reality.

Chiharu wanted to join the Lingxian Sect, to go beyond the restrictions of nations and ethnicities, and to become the second mother of all humanity... to have them reborn in a brand new universe.

Zoe lost her reason to kill Chiharu and joined her instead.

Together with Chiharu, she wanted to build a world without lies, an eternal Heaven.

Wei Tianyang understood Zoe’s feelings and why she decided to join hands with Hasegawa Chiharu.

But clearly, whether it was Chiharu or Zoe, their understanding of the Lingxian Sect was limited to "an organization possessing advanced technology capable of developing Black Medicine using the spine in reverse, disregarding the risks to human ethics."

Wei Tianyang recalled Zhao Ling’s description of the Lingxian Sect:

"It has attracted many Darwinists of the age with the idea of ’rule by elites, power supreme, seeking eternal life.’ Among these people, there are scientists, politicians, emperors, generals, and the scions of wealthy families—all of them rich and influential..."

Zoe and Chiharu made the same mistake as Yaha, harboring unrealistic expectations for an organization they didn’t understand.

Moreover, the deceased don’t equate to "eternal life," and objective reality is not the same as the real world.

Chiharu’s "rebirth" plan was nothing more than killing people prematurely...

This also answered a question, why Wei Tianyang could phase in and out of objective reality and still be seen by people in the city.

Because they had all "rebirthed."

And so-called mutations might just be a side effect of "rebirth."

After all, with research based on Black Medicine, any outcome wouldn’t be too surprising.

"You’re all wrong," Wei Tianyang muttered to himself.

He lifted his shirt to examine the injury on his abdomen. The severe pain earlier had caused him to break out in a cold sweat, and upon closer inspection, the injury was indeed severe.

His abdominal muscles had been sliced open, and part of his intestines, wrapped in blood, was pulled out from the wound. Moreover, the perpetrator was brutal, piercing the intestines several times, leaving them bloody and mangled.

Thank goodness the adrenaline had worked, causing him to forget the pain. Now, as he calmed down, the pain made his legs go numb, and his body involuntarily weakened, and he fell to his knees.

He grunted a few times, enduring the pain, used his right hand to stuff the intestines back into the abdominal cavity, and then a swirl of black mist enveloped him, and his injuries healed instantly.

If it were an ordinary person, with such a severe injury in these circumstances, they probably would have had no chance of survival.

Wei Tianyang let out a sigh and phased out of objective reality.
