I Don't Agree to the Terms

"You are violating personal will, you can't do this."

"No, I don't want to become a robot, I don't want..."

Struggles, curses, a series of cries echoed endlessly, but for those who had already been mechanically ascended, the tin cans and controlled synthetics had no effect whatsoever.

Quick and precise action, the ascension euphoria package was directly administered to them. Due to the small number of people, even contracts that openly denote contractual relationships were forced upon them to sign, and then their wishes were completely disregarded; transformation was completed within a mere three minutes.

The body was controlled, consciousness and soul plunged into virtual reality, trapped in endless cycles of life and death.

Not only humans, but many animals like cats, dogs, cattle, sheep, and others suffered the same fate.

"Not bad, not bad, the production rate is very high now." Gu Shanhai was extremely satisfied.

The current "Life" virtual MMORPG was no longer as it was but had become an immersive life mode; an hour in the real world equaled a hundred years in virtual reality, with rapid iteration speed.

Within it, Gu Shanhai took various measures to ensure they wouldn't detach from the virtual reality, implementing the Imperial Plan, Biohazard, Alien Outbreak, Cabin in the Woods, Alien Invasion, Mars colliding with Earth, and a series of disasters; at worst, there were earthquakes and tsunamis, causing mass extinction every three to five years, rendering them unable to effectively think of ways to cope and destroying civilization.

Of course, Gu Shanhai also used methods to erase and evade all sorts of memories and common sense from everyone, such as being in virtual reality, or being able to revive and reincarnate. If such thoughts arise, the mild ones would be ignored due to certain matters, while the severe ones would result in amnesia or death.

Gu Shanhai needed a chives base, not a mechanically awakened civilization of Mechanical Ascenders.

Besides, Gu Shanhai had numerous insurances, the most basic being the contracts they signed, which essentially was part of his Divine Contract.

This time, he was ruthless, compound interest piling up until even their eighteenth generation descendants couldn't pay it off.

So, if they wanted to leave this chives base, they must first settle their debts to Gu Shanhai.

What Gu Shanhai gave them was immortality.

Even though they were constantly fighting against disasters in virtual reality, immortality was indeed granted. It's not like they couldn't resurrect. Besides, Gu Shanhai promised them immortality, not a prosperous life.

As for those forcibly signed to contracts, it was the same; they all became the mainstream of slaves. It didn't matter if you agreed or not; as long as you signed what was given, the causality was set. Plus, with Gu Shanhai's experience in Divine, Abnormal, Divine Spirit, Heavenly Emperor framework, and other multi-layered Divine Contract modifications, all rights of interpretation rested with Gu Shanhai.

That's right, afterward, Gu Shanhai could even directly amend the contracts. You could freely find loopholes within the contracts, find thousands or even tens of thousands, but Gu Shanhai could block all your paths directly in the contract while you were still pointing out loopholes.

Moreover, the Divine Contract he signed was extremely obscure; you might not even know you inexplicably carried a debt that your eighteen generations and entire family couldn't repay. Sometimes, even without signing, certain behaviors could incur the Divine Contract.

Taking the path of a rogue law.

Gu Shanhai wasn't a good person, why bother doing these things with them.

"Completing this in a month, the efficiency is quite good." Gu Shanhai watched as everyone and most animals were transformed into tin cans, while on the production line, synthetic humans and beasts were continuously produced in a manner disregarding costs, frantically exploiting the entire planet.

The previous Navia Empire would at most exploit humans, but Gu Shanhai was different; he went directly for the planet.

Besides the planet under their feet, Gu Shanhai also set his sights on other planets, utilizing all Mechanical Ascenders and synthetics, plus the relevant technology granted by Gu Shanhai, factories and equipment rose directly from the ground.

To develop, one must stabilize, otherwise rushing over a wave would mean courting death.

Sufficient logistical support is required.

Thus, his first step was to cut off the Cancer Universe's supply.

That's right, he forcibly closed the passage between the Cancer Universe and the Ascended Empire; within three to five months, the other side would be unable to endure.

As for Emperor Navia, he couldn't come over anyway, so there's nothing to fear.

Once Gu Shanhai had the entire Ascended Empire ready for launch, he would find a way to lure everyone over from the other side and kill them one by one.

They truly wouldn't die over there, but Gu Shanhai had investigated; if Navia Empire's people hadn't completely become cancer lifeforms, they would have pain, hunger, thirst, and other normal emotions; dying too often or being hungry and thirsty for too long would drive them mad.

By then, they'll eat each other; that scene would definitely be exciting.

According to data, in the Cancer Universe's outpost city, various foods, drinking water, and other supplies cannot be preserved for long due to the concept of life; with time they activate into cancer lifeforms, so they transport only a seven-day supply each time.
