Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

"The death of Aike under his clone brother's own hands is truly ironic." Wang Chao was also paying attention to the issues concerning the Umbrella Defense, but discovered something rather interesting.

With just ten percent authority over the Taixu Illusory Realm, one could use it to observe any location covered by the realm.

The process of Zeus killing Aike naturally fell under his observation.

"Those two clones, under the cultivation of Su Jie, have already developed their own selves and are no longer brainwashed puppets and tools," said Li Hansha indifferently, "But how should we treat them?"

Tang Zichen and Chan Yinsha looked towards Sun Shisheng.

Clones, this method of genetic duplication, absolutely must not exist; otherwise, it can easily lead to ethical issues, and it also represents a fundamental disrespect for intelligent life.

Ming Lun does not oppose cloning.

Flora and fauna, as long as they are devoid of intelligence, may be subjected to cloning experiments, but humans must not because they are intelligent beings.

Being intelligent, possessing a soul, marks one as an independent entity and cannot be equated with the soulless.

This was a concept agreed upon by all five of them!

However, both Zeus and Prometheus had truly developed their own souls, becoming real humans. Directly destroying them did not align with Ming Lun's principles.

Both of them are sentient beings.

"For now, let it be," Sun Shisheng did not care how Zeus and others were handled, "They stay on a deserted island near Hawaii. This is a matter for the International Alliance to consider, we do not need to interfere now. Perhaps they will be regarded as an undiscovered tribe."

Wang Chao recognized that Sun Shisheng was reluctant to act against the clones like Zeus and Prometheus, thus he said, "Since Sun has spoken, let's put it aside for now and let them survive on that island on their own."

Li Hansha and others had no objections.

The group continued to refine the Thunder Dimension.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Within the dimension, the sound of thunder was incessant, as the mere trace of Heavenly Intent preserved within the dimension wailed.

In worlds with intelligent beings, Heavenly Intent is the strongest.

In dimensions like Thunder and Fire, although Heavenly Intent exists and possesses immense energy, it fundamentally lacks flexibility, making such Heavenly Intents quite easily refined.

However, even when the main body of Heavenly Intent was refined, a part of the will still remained within the dimension, maintaining its stability; it was necessary, otherwise the entire dimension might collapse and disperse before being fully refined.

Now, the last wisp of Heavenly Intent merged with the body of the Thunder Dimension sensed that it was about to be completely refined and attempted a final resistance.

In a flash, infinite thunder converged to a point, seemingly ready to explode and shatter the entire dimension.

"The Heavenly Intent of this Thunder Dimension seems to be much more intelligent than that of the Fire Dimension," exclaimed Wang Chao, "If this thing explodes, even we might not be able to withstand it."

The Thunder Dimension, much larger than the Milky Way by dozens of times, though most of it had been refined, the remaining small part was still about the size of nearly fifty solar systems.

An energy burst of this magnitude would be beyond their physical endurance.

Li Hansha said with interest, "Heavenly Intent might have gained a trivial amount of intelligence due to Ao Tian's intrusion."

What is Heavenly Intent?

Why does Heavenly Intent develop intelligence?

This leads to another question: Why do planets have various creatures?

Where do the souls of living beings go after they die? Brought to you by the folks at MV|LEMPYR.

It can be compared to humans planting crops, which grow and provide food for humans. To the planet, humans are also a type of crop.

A person, from birth to growth, is like a crop maturing, and death is like harvesting the crops.

As rice grows, it absorbs the sun's energy, condenses it into carbohydrates to nourish humans, and after humans are born, they absorb soul power from the void, grow and strengthen, and finally, when they die, their souls are taken by the planet.

They become part of the planet's will, becoming the planet's sustenance.

For non-elementary dimensions such as planets, to develop the precursor to Heavenly Intent, a planetary will, the planet must become suitable for the growth of life over eons, then life must emerge to eventually form Heavenly Intent, and intelligent beings are the most delicious "crops."

Therefore, for Heavenly Intent, they nurture living beings to seize souls from the void to grow themselves.

The more powerful the soul, the stronger the Heavenly Intent becomes.

Most dimensions with living beings have their count of intelligent beings in quadrillions and trillions, and the stronger the dimension, the more they crave the descent of beings, even opening so-called ascension pathways to attract lower-dimensional beings to ascend, all for the purpose of finding tastier "crops."

Only dimensions like Fire and Thunder that formed at the beginning of the universe are comparatively barren.

Because they were born as dimensions and their elements are too singular, they find it extremely difficult to create life, even with variations.

It can be said that such dimensions have not changed for billions of years.

Ao Tian had visited the Thunder Dimension and was treated by the Thunder Dimension's Heavenly Intent as the first living being born within it; while bestowing fortunes upon Ao Tian, it probably couldn't resist absorbing the soul power Ao Tian emitted while recovering his cultivation, which is why Li Hansha said this.

"Having intelligence or not, it still has to be suppressed by us!"

Chan Yinsha was full of vigor as she then looked toward Sun Shisheng, "Sun, you must have a way, right?"

If this wisp of heavenly intent took human form, Chan Yinsha wouldn't mind fighting it.

But at this moment, all the remaining energy of the Thunder Dimension had converged into an energy thunder pearl the size of a fist. If handled carelessly, it could explode and nearly take a chunk out of one-tenth of a galaxy.

This pure explosion was the most difficult to deal with.

The best method was to prevent it from exploding.

Sun Shisheng opened his mouth to inhale the pearl hurtling toward the infinite divine thunder, compressing it again and then swallowing it into his stomach, refining it completely.

"Is that it?" Chan Yinsha was dumbfounded.

She had thought that such a dangerous explosive would take Sun some time, but he had swallowed it so easily.

Li Hansha understood—

Sun Shisheng's Mental Realm was extremely high, so no matter how powerful the energy, he could swallow it into his stomach, even reaching a realm from having to nonexistence.

"The Thunder Dimension has been fully refined. Next will be to manifest true vitality in various illusory realms using thunder as the source—"

In an instant.

In all the illusions realms, countless characters felt a momentary numbness, their brains seeming clearer for an instant, similar to an enlightenment, yet as if nothing had happened.

Strange, eerie.

Numerous mighty ones, Great Emperors, Heavenly Emperors, deities, and Saints of the various illusion realms began to investigate, yet found nothing, so they treated it as an unknown accident, deeply hidden in their hearts.

Actually, in that moment, the minds of characters in the illusion realms slightly quivered because from the external void, countless souls traversed light years to descend into the Taixu Illusory Realm.

Furthermore, these souls were also twisted and condensed by the Taixu celestial sphere, their potential incomparable to those of beings from separate dimensions.

Naturally, compared to the beings born on Earth, they were still somewhat lacking, as Earth was the celestial sphere of ten thousand realms. Currently, the Taixu celestial sphere couldn't compare, but it was gradually approaching the celestial sphere of ten thousand realms and slowly refining it.

The future was destined to surpass the celestial sphere of ten thousand realms!

"Which dimension will we refine next?" Chan Yinsha asked.

"The Water Dimension," Sun Shisheng replied without hesitation. "Water is the Origin of Life, essential for the generation of vitality."

Wang Chao located the Water Dimension, determined its frequency, clarified the dimensional code, and upon opening it, he swept through with his spiritual power, immediately startled.

"Sun, the volume of this Water Dimension is even larger than that of the Thunder Dimension, roughly the size of a hundred galaxies. This is essentially a small universe!"

"A small universe filled with water!"

During his contemplation, Wang Chao continued to explore and discovered a smaller dimension next to the Water Dimension—the Fire Dimension!

Wang Chao wasn't surprised.

After all, who decreed that the Fire Dimension can only have one?

"This Fire Dimension is a bit smaller than the one we refined," Sun Shisheng began, then suddenly stopped mid-sentence.

"What's wrong, Sun?" Chan Yinsha wondered.

"Let's not refine this Fire Dimension for now," Sun Shisheng changed his mind.

Wang Chao puzzled, "Why?"

"Has your perception become so slow?" Li Hansha taunted from the side. "This Fire Dimension is currently being drained of energy by certain beings. If we intervene, it's easy to be discovered. Without knowing the strength of the world that is extracting energy from the Fire Dimension, rash intervention could easily expose our Earth's coordinates."

Although the real universe isn't quite like a dark forest world evolved according to "Three-Body" in the Taixu Illusory Realm, if discovered, they would still invade us.

Perhaps they wouldn't exterminate Earth's human race, but they would surely enslave humanity.

Wang Chao retorted, "I just wasn't paying attention. Besides, who checks if others are extracting energy when opening such single-element dimensions?"

Li Hansha stated matter-of-factly, "Both I and the Dean would."

"Enough, no more arguing,"

Sun Shisheng interrupted the ongoing casual conversation. "It's not that I'm worried about them finding our coordinates, but that the dimension they're in has been invaded by beings from other dimensions, destroying their world's sun. Hence, the highest-level beings among them found the code for that Fire Dimension and are extracting its flames to craft a sun for their world."

Tang Zichen murmured, "An artificial sun."

"Exactly," Sun Shisheng nodded. "Because this Fire Dimension is their dimensional beacon of hope, I have no intention of refining that Fire Dimension for now."

"This is their current hope for survival!"

Wang Chao asked, "Can we then bring the dimension that destroyed their sun into the Taixu Illusory Realm?"

"That dimension, like the Cultivation World we found, is a Semi-Dimension. Its strongest are Saints. Although the Taixu Illusory Realm can incorporate that Semi-Dimension and by playing the role of saviors, quickly assimilate them into the Taixu Illusory Realm and make them accept our philosophy, there is a significant problem—"

Sun Shisheng seemed helpless, "That dimension isn't within the Milky Way."
