Chapter 822: Soul Clash

Jin Qianxi was silent for a long time.

“That’s right. Many of us are like you. We are monsters that only know how to kill, devour, and destroy.”

Jin Qianxi seriously said, “But I firmly believe that no matter how dark and sad the present is, most of us are constantly searching for and building a better tomorrow.

“The darkness will pass, and tomorrow will come. One day, my compatriots will evolve into something completely different from monsters.”

“Completely different?”

The mother asked, “What is that?”

“Human.”

Jin Qianxi said, “Human.”

Sarcastic ripples appeared again in the depths of the mother’s soul.

It did not lie to Jin Qianxi. It really wanted to keep the other party’s free will to provide another point of reference, suggestion, and revision for its own evolution and actions.

However, since Jin Qianxi had rejected its “good intentions,” it immediately dispelled those intentions it had developed for the first time in thousands of years.

The mother’s spirit energy transformed into thousands of translucent spirit tentacles that were visible to the naked eye. Then, they surged toward Jin Qianxi’s brain through its clone, the Tree of Wisdom.

It attempted to forcefully bring the carbon-based intelligent life that was only left with a head and a broken chest into its embrace.

At its peak, as long as it willed it, even an ancient beast that was a hundred times stronger than an Apocalyptic Beast would submit to its will and obediently carry out its orders.

However, even though Jin Qianxi was heavily injured and on the verge of death, her combat strength was a hundred times weaker than the ancient beast that was dozens of kilometers long.

However, the spirit fire that she burned and her spirit wall that was even harder than diamond were things that the mother had never seen in the depths of the brain of any intelligent carbon-based life form.

The mother’s spirit energy was like the raging waves under the howling of a storm.

Jin Qianxi’s free will seemed to be standing in the middle of the ocean, with its extraordinary peaks protruding out on an indestructible island.

On the highest peak of the island stood a shining lighthouse that emitted the most stubborn light at the endless darkness and the vast ocean.

“Human beings can be destroyed, but they can never be conquered!”

That was the message Jin Qianxi had sent to the mother through her brilliant brainwaves.

Her wounds were too severe. If the mother wanted to destroy her brain completely from the physical level, she would not be able to resist at all.

In fact, without the mother taking action, her brain tissues would dry up and rot after the last bit of spirit energy was exhausted.

However, even if every brain cell was turned into foam and dust, she would not allow the mother to devour her spirit, Will, memory, wisdom, and personality easily.

She would not allow the mother to use her soul to stimulate its ambitious and insatiable soul and accelerate its evolution toward the goal of a perfect carbon-based intelligent life form.

The mother could indeed easily destroy Jin Qianxi’s brain.

However, doing so would be too wasteful.

Moreover, Jin Qianxi’s extremely proud soul made it think of those high and mighty ‘Ancients’ during the ancient war a long time ago.

The mother was wrapped in inexplicable anger and insisted on forcefully fusing with it in its own way — to conquer Jin Qianxi’s soul.

It ordered some special monsters and Spiritualized plants that had the ability to repair cells to ‘extract’ Jin Qianxi’s brain tissue from its fragmented body.

It sprayed a large amount of mucus that contained psionic energy and nutrients outside Jin Qianxi’s brain.

When the mucus hardened, it turned into a shell that was similar to a skull.

Then, it incorporated Jin Qianxi’s brain into its own body, which was the depths of the monster’s nest, and launched a spirit attack on Jin Qianxi day and night.

It created countless illusions in Jin Qianxi’s brain.

Sometimes, the theme of the illusions was about the primordial war.

It made Jin Qianxi return to the era of the primordial war and turned her into a member of the billions of beast tides. It continued to kill, conquer, and devour all the resources in its field of vision. Eventually, it evolved into an ancient behemoth that roamed the earth and soared in the sky, it allowed Jin Qianxi to follow its will and perspective. It saw with its own eyes the complicated and splendid synchronous orbit structures that the ‘ancients’built on the planet’s atmosphere.

Also, as the background of the synchronous orbit structures, the magnificent and brilliant Sea of stars.

“Throw yourself into my arms and become one with me. We will eventually become the Dominators of this sea of stars.”

After realizing that Jin Qianxi’s free will was extremely powerful, the mother extended the invitation again.

Sometimes, it would implant the emotions and memories of Peach Blossom Town citizens into Jin Qianxi’s brain.

It would implant the panic and despair of the ordinary citizens.

It would implant the cruelty and darkness of the experts.

When the human beings were killing each other, the adrenaline would be secreted to the maximum, crushing all the pleasures of morality and law.

“Look, these are your compatriots!”

The mother asked, “Do you really believe that these naked apes who have just shed their hair can find the so-called ‘light’?”

Sometimes, it would stimulate the brain cells of Jin Qianxi again and again, making her return to the nightmare that was controlled by the Blood Union and living a life worse than death.

“Peach Blossom Town is a miniature version of Dragon City, and Dragon City is a magnified version of Peach Blossom Town. They are no different and will be irretrievably destroyed.”

The mother cruelly pointed out this fact.

However, no matter how many illusions it created, no matter how much it turned the illusions into Heaven or Hell, no matter how much it threatened and enticed, Jin Qianxi remained unmoved.

This extraordinary girl, who Lei Zongchao thought was more talented than him and more worthy of the title of “Dragon City’s strongest,” not only did she not suffer the erosion of the mother, but instead, she took advantage of the opportunity and went deep into the mother’s soul, she secretly projected her spirit energy and influenced the mother.

The mother tried to brainwash her.

She also tried to make the mother understand light and darkness, justice and evil, kindness and cruelty, beauty and ugliness.

Understanding the so-called “civilization” was far more than conquering everything that could be conquered and devouring every star in the sea of stars. It could also have richer, deeper, and more interesting meanings.

In the fragmented memory stored in the brain, the mother had experienced three soul-stirring battles that were still fresh in its memory.

The first battle was the ancient war where the Beast Tide attacked the city and the space-based orbital weapons opened fire.

The second battle was the first awakening after sleeping for thousands of years. It was hunted by the diamond-shaped crystals that were waving whips of light.

The third battle was the recent collision with Jin Qianxi.

In terms of scale and energy level, the third battle was obviously the lowest level. It was simply insignificant.

However, because the mother was also at an unprecedented low level, it could not be like the past, where it did not pay attention to any tactics and strategies. It only needed to simply and roughly plunder resources and accumulate numbers to crush the opponent with an absolute numerical advantage.

It had to expend all its energy, be careful, and cautiously allocate the only resources it had on hand.

It even had to learn all kinds of conspiracies and tricks from the humans, double-dealing, and backstabbing techniques.

It had to learn how to hide its own desires and goals, and how to package overly direct goals such as “Engulfing the world and conquering the stars”into grandiose slogans such as “Making the universe better.”.

This soul confrontation lasted for decades.

For decades, both sides constantly probed the weaknesses of the opponent’s soul, trying to plant their own thoughts into the depths of the other’s soul, and “Brainwash”the other in a subtle way.

When they collided violently and each other’s souls became weak, they would temporarily stop fighting and enjoy the dazzling sparks brought about by the collision of different logical thinking and survival concepts.

War was the best motivation to promote the development of civilization.

Combat was the strongest “Accelerant”to accelerate the evolution of carbon-based intelligent beings.

Regardless of whether Jin Qianxi was willing or not, the “Mother”had a deeper understanding of the definition of “Life”and “Civilization”through the confrontation with her thoughts.

From this, the “Mother”actually felt a kind of… joy of thinking.

Of course, Jin Qianxi was not a valiant warrior who only talked about willpower and not strategy.

Other than confronting the enemy head-on, many times, she would show weakness to the enemy, seemingly thinking from the perspective of the mother, revising the strategy of the “Mother”, and throwing out the second possibility that the mother did not think of, giving advice to the mother—just as the mother wanted her to do.

For example, when the mother tried to release a large-scale super zombie virus into Dragon City, turning more than 50% of the human beings in the city into zombies and turning dragon city into a “living hell,” Jin Qianxi stopped it in time.

The reason, of course, was not “This will kill tens of millions of human beings and destroy Dragon City’s civilization.”.

Instead, “The super zombie virus will greatly stimulate cell activity, unlock the originally stable gene chain, and open an uncontrollable and unpredictable new possibility of evolution.

“At the same time when 50% of humans become zombies, there are also 0.5% or 0.05% of survivors who may accidentally break through the limit and surpass the god-level!

“Right now, your main body has barely recovered 1% of the cell activity. You don’t have any mobility or defense at all. If there really are humans who surpass the Deity Realm and they discover that you were the one who released the super zombie virus and turned Dragon City into hell, think about it, will they let you go?

“Be careful not to get burned and bring about your own destruction!”

For example, when the human beings were established one after another in the survival committee and the Red Dragon Army and gradually became stronger and launched ten “great expeditions” into the depths of Monster Mountain Range, the mother had once planned a large-scale beast horde, it wanted to attack the main city of Dragon City as revenge.

This revenge action, which was highly likely to lead to the destruction of lives, was also stopped by Jin Qianxi through detailed data and ingenious deduction, which proved that the war resources consumed by the monster civilization would be far greater than the loss of Dragon City civilization.
