Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

Chapter 319: Become a Bullet

Meng Chao heard faint cracking sounds in his arms.

He had activated his vitality spirit energy magnetic field repeatedly, and it drained his spirit energy until there was practically nothing left.

Gao Ye suddenly turned around and yanked the chains, which made Meng Chao shudder.

In the darkness, the Ultimate Sandworm opened its mouth, which was more than five meters wide, and released a foul-smelling puff of air at Meng Chao. It caused his features to be blown away from their original positions.

“Let go. Don’t force my hand. I don’t want to hurt you,” Gao Ye said.

In the depths of the dark cave, Gao Ye, with his aquatic dragon-like body, looked like a demon who had come out from hell.

Meng Chao’s skin crawled.

His nightmare overlapped with reality.

Even though the current Gao Ye was definitely not as strong as the Supernatural Entity from his previous life and he definitely did not evolve to his limits, which meant that he was “incomplete”, just like the White Spirit, Meng Chao could not hope to win against him. He was only a two-star superhuman.

Meng Chao only hoped that the internet was good enough so that Lu Siya could get an accurate read of his location.

He braced his courage and said, “I-I don’t want to hurt you either! Gao Ye, turn back! You’ll still make it if you turn back now!”

“The chance of personally experiencing consciousness transfer is a one in a million chance. Since I’ve already taken this step forward, how could I possibly turn back?”

Gao Ye controlled the Ultimate Sandworm’s huge mouth to make another smile. This time, it was no longer as monstrous. But it could also be said to look more monstrous because it was much more human-like.

“Besides, look at this brand new body. Look at how strong, mighty, and beautiful it is. Aside from being able to dig through the rock stratum and clear tunnels, it has the combined advantages of various nervous systems. I can sense my calculation abilities and mental power having increased by a large degree.

“I can now easily solve many of the problems that have troubled me in the past. Countless formulae, calculation methods, and recipes for drugs are appearing in my head. This is an experience that cannot be matched by anything else. There are no words that can describe it. I really should have made up my mind earlier to switch to the body of a monster!”

“You said it yourself! This is the body of a monster!” Meng Chao shouted. “Look at you! Gao Ye, are you going to cast aside your identity as a human for power and intelligence?!”

“I’ve never thought about casting aside my identity as a human, but what is the definition of a human?” Gao Ye asked faintly. “Work created humans, and humans continued evolving because of work. However, when we transmigrated to the Other World, we faced a new world where there is plenty of spirit energy, and supernatural powers awakened in us. Countless normal people fell behind in a race for power, and they are about to be weeded out of the competition.

“As superhumans slowly came into control of human civilization and used various divine arts, secret techniques, and amazing skills to increase their productivity to the max, many normal people lost their right and ability to work. They can no longer find jobs that allow them to contribute to civilization.

“They are forced to stay at home or stay there as if it’s their God given right while enjoying the material benefits given by the superhumans in charity. Then, they use all sorts of pointless entertainment products to make themselves numb.

“As time passes, the superhumans will become even stronger, and the automatized technology will become much more advanced. There might also be Other World’s locals who will be willing to become cheap labor. The normal people and their descendants will then become unable to find their place in their own civilization.

“Even if more than one hundred years pass and the superhumans are still willing to provide for the basic survival needs of the normal people, do you think that those normal people will have the right to be known as humans when they can only survive because of the charity of the superhumans?

“I know what I look like right now. Perhaps I am the very definition of a demon in the eyes of the world with how ugly and deformed I am, but that’s nothing.

“At the very least, while I look like this, I can think and work, and my work efficiency and fighting power is not lower than that of a superhuman. I can contribute to human civilization. In this manner, I am still a human in every sense of the word, and I have the right to be proud of myself!”

Gao Ye used every bit of his strength to say those words.

At the same time, two powerful gusts came from his pores and mouth. They blew Meng Chao eight meters away.

Fortunately, the earth behind him was loose, and he did not end up with internal injuries because of it.

But Gao Ye’s mental power was like a wave that continuously charged at Meng Chao’s mind. It caught him in the circular logic that caused Gao Ye to experience his spirit energy deviation.

“Besides, when the distance between both parties widens to the max, do you think that superhumans will still provide for the normal people forever and without any principles?” Gao Ye smiled coldly. “Humans have never been a single entity since ancient times. There has always been inequality.

“Even if centuries have passed and the illusion that humans are equal appeared on Earth, that’s not because those above us decided to be merciful, fair, and just. It’s because of the development of technology and the appearance of firearms. They made a stinky farmer who had only trained for a few months to be able to end the life of a knight of noble blood with one cheap bullet, even if that knight was dressed in fine armor and had trained for decades.

“If that stinky farmer did not have any guns, would the knight come forward to hug him and pat his chest to say that he was willing to fight for the farmer?

“But times have changed, Meng Chao. Times have changed. The transmigration and the appearance of spirit energy and supernatural abilities brought us back to the age of knights.

“The knights of the new age are the superhumans who are in control of destructive power. They’re much stronger than the armored knights from the past. Forget about using one bullet to kill them. Even if a normal person drives a plane with a cannon on it or an entire carrier battle group, it might not threaten a superhuman’s life.

“If we allow supernatural power to develop in the same direction, the distance between superhumans and normal people will soon be one hundred times the distance between the armored knights and farmers in the Middle Ages. By then, the idea of humans being born equals will be a joke. Our civilization will definitely fall into an abyss much darker than the Middle Ages.

“If we want to solve this problem, we can’t rely on the kindness, justice, and morality of superhumans. We can’t believe the foolish words that superhumans are the weapons of human civilization and that the strong are supposed to shed their blood for the weak. The farmers can only rely on themselves.

“The farmers of the new age must look for a bullet of the new age to keep the knights of the new age in check.

“And I am that bullet.

“Once the consciousness transferring technology becomes more developed, normal people will be able to turn into what I am now at any moment. The matchless fighters who stand high above the normal people will then have to think seriously about how superhumans and normal people are supposed to coexist, right?”

Once Gao Ye finished speaking, he squirmed about and dug deeper into the maze.

“Wait!” Meng Chao was incredibly anxious, but he could not stop him by force. He could only shout, “Gao Ye, even if you start off at the right starting point, you might not reach the right destination! Even if your beliefs are noble and mighty, they can change while you try to realize your dreams!

“D-Didn’t you say that the monsters’ nervous system will interfere with the human consciousness?!

“Look at you now! You don’t even have a proper brain. No matter how thick the Ultimate Sandworm’s nerve bundles are, will they really be able to carry your consciousness and thinking processes without changing for five years?!

“It’s impossible! Your experiment will definitely fail!

“Your consciousness has just been transferred, so it’s natural that you can still maintain a clear sense of self and cognitive abilities. You can even use the brand new nervous system to increase your calculative abilities and mental powers.

“But just like how there will be rejections with organ transplants, there will definitely be distortions and rejections with this sort of soul transplant.

“Trust me. It’s impossible for you to maintain your current condition for a long time. Soon, your memories will fade away bit by bit. Your consciousness will continuously distort, and your soul will shatter as the monster’s instincts will continuously try to give you direction.

“In the end, you will forget everything. You’ll forget your human identity, your noble ideals, and the oath you took so solemnly. You will turn into a real monster, and you’ll end up as a superbeast that is even more terrifying than an Apocalyptic Beast!”

Gao Ye stopped squirming around.

He tilted his head and thought about Meng Chao’s words.

“Don’t you dare to say that you won’t!” Meng Chao said fiercely. “You mentioned it yourself that this is the first time you completely cast your consciousness into the Ultimate Sandworm’s neural work! It’s impossible for you to achieve real success!”

Gao Ye was silent for half a second.

Then, he put on a smile that was incredibly similar to a human’s.

“Indeed. I will definitely fail,” he said faintly. “There is a certain chance that I will forget my human identity, my ideals, and my oath, which will… turn me into a complete monster. But that’s fine. It’s all the same.”

Meng Chao was stunned. “W-What do you mean that it’s fine and it’s all the same?”

“Failure is the mother of success. Someone must take the first step. In the subsequent days, I will write my experiment log every day and record my memories, thought processes, and changes in my neural responses. I will record the entire process of turning from a human to a monster. Perhaps there will come a day when I will lose my sense of self completely, but before that, I will announce all my experimental data, and someone will continue down the path I have opened,” Gao Ye said.

“As for why I told you that it’s fine and all the same, it’s simple. I need to become a bullet that threatens the superhumans. That’s all I need to do. Even if I turn into a real monster, I will be a major threat to the superhumans and present the normal humans with an ‘ultimate method’ to keep the superhumans in check. That’s enough, don’t you think?”

“What?” Meng Chao was dumbfounded.

He did not expect that this was the truth behind why Gao Ye ended up as a Supernatural Entity.

As he faced Gao Ye and the circular logic he created and trapped himself in, Meng Chao did not know what to say to stall for time.

Fortunately, at that moment, he could vaguely sense a few powerful vitality magnetic fields approaching from above.

Gao Ye released a cold snort through his pores.

Various sections of his body swelled up, and countless spikes grew from the folds.

Before Lu Siya and her reinforcements could get into the tunnel, Gao Ye opened his mouth wide and aimed at the walls above his head. Then, he fired a peerless air cannon.

Boom!

A large area of the rock stratum above them collapsed.

Stones and earth weighing more than one thousand tons fell down.
