Crime Prison Island

Gao Xin blinked, surprised that the process of Ascension could be interrupted.

This kind of breakthrough was clearly different from other evolutions of the Radiation.

Indeed, whether it was Wolf Level, Tiger Level, or Elephant Level, it involved the complete renewal and transformation of all body cells.

All were three-dimensional creatures, fundamentally unable to comprehend the internal changes in each other, so how could one interrupt it?

No, actually it could still be interrupted, and that was by killing the opponent.

Back in the cat-and-mouse game, Silver Hand transformed into a tiger at the end, but hadn't fully metamorphosed before Gao Xin beheaded him with an axe.

In fact, Caesar's situation was similarly clear-cut as the Six Gods watched his cells expand and proliferate on a four-dimensional scale.

That fourth coordinate axis was invisible to others, but visible to the Six Gods, who could even strike it.

In others' eyes, Caesar's breakthrough was just a renewal of cells, but in his eyes, it was like a mat of bacteria that rapidly puffed up like a growing mushroom through massive proliferation.

He easily burst that mushroom, turning it back into a puddle of pus and blood.

And it didn't stop there, because he beat Caesar until even in three-dimensional space he was reduced to just a single hair.

Equivalent to beating the mushroom into a fungal mat, then continuing to knead it until only a single good hypha remained... stuck at the brink of survival, only then did he leave.

This demonstrated his astonishing purification methods against three-dimensional beings.

"So... did your breakthrough stop?"

Gao Xin's expression was odd, as it turned out Caesar was the most miserable among those who fought with the Six Gods.

Others merely suffered a crushing defeat, lost some longevity, face, or mindset.

Caesar was beaten to the point of breaking through Ascension, then had his ascension ceremony interrupted... and woke up to find his wife gone.

Caesar said viciously, "When I woke up, my body had stopped changing."

"It only retained that bit of physique enhancement from before he burst me..."

"Basic strength is 35,000 times my own body weight, and physique defense is forty times my strength."

Gao Xin nodded slightly. The basic strength of Dragon Level is 30,000 times one's body weight, and physique defense is ten times one's strength.

Purely based on that enhancement, Caesar had surpassed Dragon Level.

But the values were still off; logically, a Divine Level body's endurance should be a hundred times its strength, but Caesar's was only forty times.

Plus, none of the qualities, energy, modules, or senses expected at Divine Level were present in him.

It was as if someone barely surpassed the Tiger Level limit, counted as a young elephant, yet hadn't activated the biological field...

Caesar's eyes were gloomy: "Afterwards, to continue my metamorphosis, I fought continued three wars, south and north, defeating several Quasi-Dragon Kings and even sought a deathmatch with Milan."

"But that woman Milan, she was afraid I'd break through, so she wouldn't strike hard."

Gao Xin pursed his lips. Milan clearly deliberately didn't help Caesar continue his breakthrough.

Interrupting an Ascension process like that requires at least experiencing the same lethal pressure again.

And Caesar, who returned from the Six Gods, had a great boost in power. Besides Milan, no one could give him life-death pressure anymore.

But Milan wasn't stupid; knowing he was about to break through, why would she be his whetstone?

Everyone was in wartime; helping Caesar achieve Ascension would be irresponsible to her own people.

Milan, devoted to protecting her own people, naturally wouldn't assist him. After all, her strength was still above his, likely leading to constant maneuvering instead of a decisive fight.

But then Gao Xin thought: "Wait a minute, later on she did negotiate peace and even agreed to fight you again in the Dragon King Conference, right?"

"The Dragon King Conference is always fought to the end, no running away."

Caesar nodded: "Yes, if she wouldn't be ruthless, then I had to force her to be ruthless."

"The third war was the period when I was closest to unifying the entire island; in war, the Milan Order was already completely defeated."

"Then there was the Vermilion Bird Gate incident, where I agreed with Lv Zhao for Tangren City to exit the war, causing Milan State to lose significant support."

"Back then, Milan had to either fight me to the death or let Milan State be devastated."

"So she negotiated peace with me, agreeing to restart the Dragon King Conference in exchange for ending the war."

Gao Xin nodded, all lined up.

At the time, the Milan Order could be called utterly defeated in the third war, because Milan didn't dare to fight to the end, and Tangren City had a coup... Caesar, still with War Divinity, attacked with the fury of losing Shelly, making the victory nearly impossible.

Yet in the end, all the Milan Order had to pay was the Death Hills to successfully negotiate peace.

Wan Kai had told him it was because Milan agreed to reopen the Dragon King Conference, and then Caesar, ignoring everyone's opposition, directly accepted this condition.

At first, Gao Xin didn't understand, thinking Caesar was a duel maniac who just had to beat Milan once.

Obviously continuing had the chance to unify, but he gave it up to go challenge Milan in a duel, and he lost, letting the Milan Order, defeated miserably on the battlefield, gain the upper hand at the negotiation table, like a clown.

Now it seemed it wasn't so simple; Caesar was halfway through Ascension and wanted to continue it.

Once Ascended, Crime Prison Island or unification wouldn't matter to Caesar; he could seek revenge on the Six Gods.

"But why were you unable to continue your Ascension after losing to Milan at the Dragon King Conference?"

Gao Xin frowned: "Could it be that since you've already had a breakthrough, once interrupted, there's no way to break through a second time; continuation doesn't exist?"

Caesar roared lowly, "It must be possible to continue!"

"Even the Six Gods, after smashing my Ascension progress, said 'I'll wait for you to seek revenge on me again'."
