I Don't Agree to the Terms

"Success," Gu Shanhai said as he looked at the giant flesh cocoon in the life support pod, absorbing nutrient solution.

This was a product of Gu Shanhai's forced surgical fusion of Su Man and Xiao Yunting, which was still developing. According to Gu Shanhai's estimate, it could hatch successfully within three days if things went well.

"This is not fusion but being used as nourishment to then cultivate a new life form."

After the two were merged, all traces of them had disappeared, becoming this embryonic cocoon of flesh, waiting for a new life to break free.

"From the current data, it doesn't seem to be an Evil God embryo, but rather gives me the illusion of being a perfect organism."

Gu Shanhai flipped through the records, puzzled about what these two sects from a thousand years ago were trying to do.

Of course, although it's called a perfect organism, it's more like the existence of a monster. As for what exactly it is, we won't know until the flesh cocoon develops further.

Right now, it is just a mass of liquid mixed with flesh, not yet formed into any shape, but its growth rate is indeed very fast, especially since Gu Shanhai has provided plenty of nutrition and a favorable environment. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, development could not possibly be so rapid.

"Your skills are just too brutal," Guai Luliuxi walked in and upon seeing the flesh cocoon, his expression betrayed a wariness of Gu Shanhai.

It was also the first time he had seen someone so ruthless as to fuse two people together. He had intended to scold him, but in the end, he didn't speak. To him, if Su Man was alive, he might have said something, but now that she had become a monster, he naturally didn't have so many thoughts.

"Heh, you are still too inexperienced," Gu Shanhai said with some disdain in response to Guai Luliuxi's words. In his past life, he had never worked with Guai Luliuxi, who was a child of heaven in the early days, and Gu Shanhai couldn't even rank along with him. Later, when Gu Shanhai rose to power, this guy was long dead.

He had thought this man was capable—and indeed he was—but his nature did not meet Gu Shanhai's expectations. Because of the presence of the simulator, he seemed to have only the mentality of an ordinary person, far inferior to Shura.

Having a large margin for trial and error, he still couldn't shed the biased vision of an ordinary person.

"This isn't about lack of experience, but as a human being, you're acting without any moral boundaries," Guai Luliuxi reprimanded Gu Shanhai, who did not care about the other's words at all.

"Speak directly if you have something to say; I'm busy," Gu Shanhai did not want to continue to dwell on the topic with him. Moral boundaries? That's something you can only say because you have a simulator, a powerful gift. Ordinary people don't have so many thoughts.

But it's also good to have more people like this, so the whole world isn't just conspiracies and scheming; Gu Shanhai could exploit them more.

"You've created a monster, do you realize that?" Guai Luliuxi said gravely as he looked at the flesh cocoon.

In the future simulated by his simulator, a terrible monster had emerged from the flesh cocoon, destroying the entire world. As a result, his ability to simulate a year's time had sharply decreased to only two months, and he died at the hands of the monster every time.

"I don't know," Gu Shanhai spread his hands, dismissing the concern. A monster, that's all, not a big deal.

"I am here to destroy it, to prevent it from becoming a stumbling block," Guai Luliuxi felt that Gu Shanhai shouldn't have created it.

As for burning bridges with Gu Shanhai, he still considered benefits. With the mindset of an ordinary person, he had his own likes and dislikes as well as gains and losses. Knowing that he and Gu Shanhai were teammates, he chose to communicate primarily.

Of course, mainly because he couldn't beat him. Otherwise, in every simulator run, the monster would be born because every time he tried to solve things with violence, there would be an unexplained stutter, and then the monster would be born.

And this unexplained stutter was naturally caused by Gu Shanhai. The simulator could not simulate Gu Shanhai, but it could simulate the birth of the monster.

"How could it become a stumbling block? I can control this little darling," Gu Shanhai revealed a radiant smile.

"Impossible, in the future I've seen, it is killing, I..." Guai Luliuxi didn't finish his sentence when he saw Gu Shanhai's smile, and he suddenly realized.

That was the great slaughter after the birth of the monster. It couldn't be Gu Shanhai's manipulation, could it?

Otherwise, such an absurd result would not have appeared in the simulation. If he died two months later, it was because he was backstabbing and dragging his team down.

"What's wrong?" Gu Shanhai did not know what Guai Luliuxi had seen in his simulator, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care too much.

Guai Luliuxi saw the future, not the present. And the future has a very interesting characteristic: it is fickle and can collapse due to the slightest butterfly effect, unless it encounters a fixed future worldview. Thus, future events can generally only serve as a reference, not a certainty.

"What exactly are you planning?" Guai Luliuxi furrowed his brows, feeling he couldn't quite see through Gu Shanhai.

"I'm not planning anything, just want to raise this creature and see what it turns into," Gu Shanhai was also confused; he had no plans, he was merely playing it safe.
