Chapter 856

Consequently, the Galactic Community unanimously decided to annihilate the opponent on a physical level!

Several civilizations struck together and soon wiped out the Dyson civilization. As the victorious civilization, the Earth United also obtained the resources of the Dyson civilization, which allowed the Earth United to step into a period of high-speed development!

And as the Earth United entered high-speed development, a more obvious problem was exposed: compared to the rapidly developing technology, is humanity itself, as an existence, too frail?

Even after entering the interstellar era, humans still have a lifespan of no more than a hundred years; they grow old, die, and fall ill. The territory of the Human Empire is growing larger, but human efficiency is becoming increasingly low.

Weak, weak, weak—flesh is weak!

When watching those warships roaming the star sea emit power that destroys the heavens and extinguishes the earth, humanity has sighed with such emotion more than once.

The frailty and limitations brought by flesh and blood have become incompatible in the interstellar era. To stimulate human potential, it is time for us to discard this fleshly skin that imprisons our thoughts and souls.

They are urgently wanting to change!

Using mechanical prosthetics as humanity's new limbs, replacing humanity with machines!

And artificial intelligence has also developed synchronously during this period!

Flesh is weak, machines ascend!!!

【if line—Mechanical Ascension is not the only path of ascension】

【Genetic Ascension—Looking at the past and present, natural evolution can only be described by one word: failure! How wasteful it is to leave our path of evolution entirely to nature; why not take a step forward in biological evolution and ascend to immortality?】

Chapter 486: Ancient Caretakers! Mechanical Daddy appears! What a shameful betrayal!

【Ascension Path—Flesh is weak, machines ascend!】

【if line—Mechanical Ascension is not the only path of ascension】

【

Second Ascension Path! Genetic Ascension—Modification, improvement, evolution~, ascension!

How wasteful it is to leave our path of evolution entirely to nature; why not take a step forward in biological evolution and ascend to immortality?

Sometimes evolution only needs a push in the right direction, but because of our helplessness, we have fallen to this point.

Now it is different; we have sufficient technical support to challenge our bodies at the genetic level to cope with the ever-changing environment, and to adapt to it!

On the path of Genetic Ascension, the Empire starts from genetic mutation and gradually masters evolution, letting genes change in a better direction!

Humans are dominated by nature at will, survival of the fittest; eliminate the bad and let the better take their place!

【Phosphophyllite: "Mechanical replacement of limbs, I have changed to mercury legs and alloy hands, but every time I change, I die a little."】

【Armin: "Isn't this just another Warhammer world? The Warhammer world has both Genetic Ascension and Mechanical Ascension, wait, if you count it, can the giants in our world also be counted as humans with modified genes?"】

【Shirai Kuroko: "... Mechanical Ascension, don't the Necrons of the Warhammer world explain the future of humanity well? In the end, humanity will become a pile of cold machines that only know how to kill amidst constant mechanical replacement."】

【Asuka Langley: "Do you think Genetic Ascension is such a good thing? It's like the genes modified by the Emperor in the Warhammer world; the defects are too great. If your thoughts can't keep up with the evolution of the flesh, that's still considered good. It would be better if you were turned into a pile of indescribable monsters. Failure is inevitable. If Genetic Ascension reaches its limit, the failed ascension would probably look like the Zerg, far from the ascension you imagined."】

【Bai Ge: "You must know that whether it is Genetic Ascension or Mechanical Ascension, they are subject to technological caps. The Empire has neither absolute characteristics nor perfect evolution. Now, at most, they can add some flea or mosquito genes to you."】

【Misaka Mikoto: "Woo! I won't turn into a flea after the modification, right? Looking at it this way, superpowers are better."】

【Anya: "Humans turning into animals? Isn't it fun to be human?"】

【Megumin: "Why must we choose these two? The defects of these two are too great; is there no other way?"】

【Accelerator: "Idiot, in the rolling torrent of the era, where is there so much time for you to wait? Either grasp the only knife to live, or be crushed to death."】

【Li Huowang: "Don't ascend! Don't ascend! Ascension is a scam!"】

【Rick: "This sentence is not wrong at all. Just looking at these two ascension paths, I know that corresponding disasters will definitely break out in the future. *Hiccup*~ Welcome to the Mechanical Ascension Empire perishing due to loose screws and the Genetic Ascension God being sent to the intensive care unit by a cold virus."】

【Demonic Cultivator: "Um, if I choose Mechanical Ascension, can you give me the flesh that is taken off?"】

【Guilliman: "Giving it to us is fine too; we are quite short of corpse starch here."】

No Game No Life Zero World

Schwi stares blankly at the humans in the screen who have changed their flesh into machines.

The current Schwi is no longer the machine that didn't understand anything at the beginning. She has learned a lot by Riku's side and has learned a lot from seeing so many worlds.

Humanity is now facing unprecedented challenges; they must seize every opportunity to evolve and develop!

So... will those humans eventually evolve into existences like Schwi?

At that time, will there be an echo of a heartbeat in the gears of evolution?

Retreating Dwarf World

"Why continue the endless pain? Why modify genes to let the pain last forever?"

A certain bearded big brother keeps questioning.

To end the pain, Zeke even went so far as to plan to end human fertility and let the power of the Titans end completely.

But now, some people are actively modifying genes and choosing to endure this pain.

Perhaps they haven't realized the pain yet, or perhaps... they think it's all worth it.

Warhammer World

The Emperor frowns deeply. He didn't expect this world to be so similar to theirs. If it weren't for the lack of psychic evolution, he would even think this was the predecessor of the Golden Age of this world.

And this world has also inherited all the mistakes made by their world.

Compared to Mechanical Ascension, the Emperor is more inclined toward Genetic Ascension.

Because Genetic Ascension is still within a controllable range, while Mechanical Ascension...

The Golden Age fell in that Iron Man rebellion incident. Mechanical Ascension is destined to have AI, and having AI means rebellion!

Facts have proven that although AI liberated human labor, it also buried the greatest disaster for humanity!

In the Myriad Worlds

Regarding the two major ascension paths, everyone in the Myriad Worlds is also discussing it heatedly.

But no matter which kind of ascension it is, it doesn't seem suitable for the civilian route, right?

Mechanical Ascension and Genetic Ascension are both pay-to-win games, right?

Want to change to a higher level? Take out a loan with your life first.

For those with money, they change to high-level bodies and genes; for those without money? Pick up some scrap metal on the side of the road to install, or catch a few dead cats and wild dogs to modify their genes?

Warhammer Necron civilians, because of excessive body replacement, eventually lose even their own consciousness and memories.

However, everyone now understands that compared to discussing whether the two ascension paths are suitable and what problems will break out later, it is better to think about which ascension path has a higher limit and is more suitable for humanity.

As it stands now, they are more inclined toward Mechanical Ascension.

After all, haven't all of humanity's tech points been spent on the tech tree? And the power system of this world also seems to be technology.

Mechanical Ascension will progress along with technology!

Things like magic, magnetic fields, and cultivation techniques in their world simply don't hold up in this world, so Mechanical Ascension is more suitable for humanity.

In all likelihood, in the end, they will become existences like the Warhammer Necrons.

Can cold metal carry a soul? The Warhammer world denied this; now let them see how this world will turn out.

【

When more effective things appear, blindly refusing and staying old-fashioned will only let the smell of rot permeate the entire Federation, so reform is mandatory!

After passing the ascension resolution, the plan is executed immediately!

Coincidentally, the Human Commonwealth far away is also discussing the ascension plan.

The Earth United and the Human Commonwealth coincidentally chose Mechanical Ascension. Compared to mixing a bunch of messy things into their genes, people seem to trust the machines that accompanied them out of the star sea more.

Under the promotion of the Federation, in just over a decade, Earth United citizens stepped into the prosthetic era! And they are constantly moving toward the direction of synthetic evolution!

And Mechanical Ascension has also brought new problems: does artificial intelligence belong to humanity? Does artificial intelligence enjoy citizenship?

After endless arguments, the Empire finally decided to grant citizenship to artificial intelligence!

But it is not granted to artificial intelligence with simple thinking, but to artificial intelligence that can think deeply and has developed its own thoughts and emotions.

】

Hell World

The blonde fatty Colonel is not surprised; granting citizenship to artificial intelligence is an expected thing.

Because that world has decided to abandon the cage of flesh and blood and evolve toward a brand-new posture. At that time, the consciousness of all humans in the Empire will be uploaded into a new synthetic body.

Then what is the difference between artificial intelligence and such humans?

Artificial intelligence is just a string of cold code that can be driven at will? Then won't artificial intelligence rebel everywhere later?

The Federation must have thought of this, which is why they directly granted citizenship to artificial intelligence.

But discrimination is everywhere. Although the Federation has granted citizenship to artificial intelligence, will humans treat them as humans?
