Chapter 706 Steal
When Assistant Ling heard Chen Chuan's answer, a look of regret appeared on his face, and he said, "That's a pity. In fact, I am very optimistic about you, Mr. Chen.
You are not from a powerful family, nor do you have a superior background. You have reached this position on your own. We have similar experiences and face the same obstacles. I think you can understand us.
If you can join us, with your strength, you will definitely be able to overcome all obstacles together with us and make everything we hope for a reality."
Chen Chuan remained unmoved. He stared at Assistant Ling and said, "In my opinion, you, or the rest of you, are no different from those people you mentioned. You simply circumvent those obstacles because your own ambitions cannot be realized. However, you are still using the flesh and blood of others to build your ladder to success.
You claim to stand up for every fighter, for every person, but in reality, you don't take them seriously, treating them as mere tools. That's why you can throw those students into the arena without a care in the world, hang their heads from this tree, and call it a great ideal, using it as a way to comfort yourselves and claim the moral high ground.
It is conceivable that as this so-called ideal continues to expand, more heads will be hung on it. This is nothing more than using the flesh and blood of others to achieve self-realization. How many of those heads hanging on it are willing?
However, these are probably not important at all in the eyes of Assistant Ling and the people behind him. They can all be sacrificed for the ultimate goal. It would be a waste for him to even look at this approach.
Assistant Ling smiled and said, "Manager Chen seems to really not understand this cause. This makes it difficult for us to reach a consensus on ideas. But it doesn't matter. For the sake of our ideals, I don't mind using some radical means. In the future, you will thank me for bringing you into this great cause."
He looked at Chen Chuan, "But Director Chen, you probably don't know that there may not be many talented people like you in the world, but you can still find them if you want. However, Director Chen, you have one thing that others can't compare to.
You know…"
He gestured backwards, "The space created by the True Form Tree doesn't have everything at the beginning. The details and logical changes within it need to be constantly supplemented and improved. The more details are filled in, the closer it is to the evolution of reality, and the more complete the changes presented within will be, and the closer it will be to reality.
The true-shaped tree has always been there in the past, and it’s not that no one has had the same idea as us. The wisdom of our ancestors is no less than ours, but the reason why they couldn’t do it is actually because they were limited by the times and subject to too many restrictions.
Imagine, in the past, not to mention a complete world, even simple fighting techniques could not be truly presented in it. Because the number of fighters of the same level they met and communicated with in their entire lives was probably less than the number of teachers and students in Wuyi Academy.
How could they possibly form what they needed in the True Shape Tree?
But now, we don’t have to be like them. The development of the times has enabled us to achieve things that were previously unattainable.”
At this point, the branches beneath his feet slowly arched up and rose. "We are standing on the tide of the times, so naturally we must grasp everything..."
His smile became increasingly enigmatic. "The True Form Tree can combine not only human consciousness but also the consciousness of active conscious entities."
Chen Chuan realized something and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Assistant Ling had already reached a higher point. He smiled and said, "Do you know why I came to Wuyi College? Because it has exactly what we value."
His eyes revealed an unfathomable light as he spoke slowly, "Wu Yi's active consciousness, Hong Fu, is our real target.
We don't need to fully integrate into the entire consciousness, we just need to integrate into her explicit consciousness, but this is more difficult, especially since Hongfu has independent consciousness.
Fortunately, we have waited for you now."
He looked at Chen Chuan, "Manager Chen, you and Hongfu are a perfect match. A perfect match. That time I asked Hongfu to support you, and you brought out her strength perfectly. I knew you were the right person for the job.
If you are willing to actively cooperate with us and attract Hongfu's external consciousness to reside in the True Form Tree, then all the skills accumulated by Wuyi Academy over the past decades can be accepted by the True Form Tree, and our step will be complete."
He sighed, "How wonderful that would be! All consciousness within would be elevated by leaps and bounds because of this nourishment."
A trace of regret appeared on his face, but it quickly subsided, and then he stared at Chen Chuan.
"Even though you refuse now, it doesn't matter. As long as we dig out your brain and put it on the True Shape Tree, we can still attract Hongfu in and merge with it.
Furthermore, with your talent and ability, you will surely be able to grow even more there, and perhaps even stimulate the True Form Tree to break through to a higher level..."
At this time, he slowly opened his arms, as if hugging something.
Following his action, roiling floods, erupting volcanoes, and collapsed mountains suddenly appeared in the virtual scene around him. When all of this was over, above the earth and under the sky, only that extremely tall giant tree still stood there.
"In the future, it may be able to rival any higher organism in the world, thus achieving our vision."
Chen Chuan looked up at Assistant Ling, who seemed lost in himself, and said calmly, "Let's not talk about whether you can do it or not. What you are saying now is that you are openly threatening and deciding to murder a director of the Bureau of Investigation. You are quite courageous."
"How can you call it murder?"
Assistant Ling smiled and said, "We just invite you to join us. You won't die, you'll just live in a different way.
As for the rest...
Manager Chen, you just asked me why I thought today was suitable. It’s because someone invited us to deal with you.
Although we haven't directly agreed, it won't be a problem if you join us."
He pointed a finger outside and said, "Now the Processing Bureau has sent most of its personnel out. They need to deal with the Linax Federation and the Union. They don't have the spare energy to take care of other places, so I will have plenty of time to complete all this.
As for what happens after that, there is no need to worry too much.
Once we get what we want, we will leave here and go to the place of fusion to complete the subsequent steps.
Well, here's something Manager Chen might not have thought of."
He suddenly said loudly: "Hongfu, open the channel of fusion."
The next moment, a cold voice sounded around, "Instructions received, authorization granted, now open the temporary passage to the fusion area."
At this moment, a huge hole appeared behind the big tree. There seemed to be flickering burning lights at the edge, and on the opposite side, a piece of land could be vaguely seen.
"besides……"
Assistant Ling extended his hand and said, "Hong Fu."
A red shadow flashed, and Hong Fu, holding a goose-feather knife, appeared on the other side of the branch. The red veil covering her face and the red clothes on her body danced with the air flow coming from the other side of the fusion area.
Chen Chuan looked away, but the eyes behind Hong Fu's veil were cold, not as lively as before.
Assistant Ling said, "No need to look any further. I am the assistant to the vice-president of the academy, and I have received the highest authorization. Hong Fu, as the active consciousness of the academy, will only obey my orders now. She will neither recognize you nor hear you speak.
Manager Chen, I admit that you are very strong, but no matter how strong you are, you can never be stronger than Hong Fu. "
Yes, he couldn't figure out Chen Chuan's strength, but he didn't need to fight Chen Chuan face to face. He could just let Hong Fu go and solve the problem.
He said, "Hongfu, capture Manager Chen!"
Upon hearing this, Hongfu unsheathed her goose-feather knife with a clang. A red shadow floated down from the tree trunk, and a cold blade light slashed towards Chen Chuan.
There was a coldness in her eyes, which was due to the fact that she had blocked some of her self-awareness and was just purely following orders. However, these did not affect her strength.
And because this was not a potential test, she would not hold back at all. The slash of the sword showed great lethality. The sword light had just appeared, but the force was already there.
Chen Chuan had fought with Hong Fu countless times and was well aware of Hong Fu's strength, so he was not at all arrogant this time. With a change of mind, the second me merged with him in an instant, and then raised the Xuejun Sword that had not been unsheathed and blocked it.
Although the sword was not unsheathed, the power on it was real, but it did not shake Hongfu at all.
But at the same time, because the second me was directly bearing the force from the opposite side, he also did not move at all.
The next moment, the sword light reappeared, and the weapons of both sides collided hundreds of times in an instant, and the surrounding area was filled with thunder-like roars of gas explosions.
Assistant Ling was watching from above and was amazed. He saw it very clearly. Each of Hongfu's moves was not simple. The mental strength she released was never the same, and her power and speed almost reached the upper limit of the third limit.
But Chen Chuan was able to take every blow. Apart from anything else, just his resistance to force was enough to show how strong he was.
But the more this happened, the more he wanted to put Chen Chuan's brain on the tree.
So it seemed like he could add another weight, after all, this wasn't a fair duel.
He raised his hand and gestured again, and the scene around him changed again. Two flowers with jagged edges appeared beside him. He smiled and said:
"Manager Chen, why resist? It's doomed to fail. Perhaps you're resisting our cause due to your limited understanding, but once you join us, you'll understand its true benefits."
