Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train Chapter 1126 - 430: For the Sake of Evolution (Part 3)

"Of course, I know your purpose." Chen Yanshu chuckled softly and asked him in return, "Aren’t you curious why you’re experiencing all this?"

Lin Xian nodded at his words, remained silent for a moment, then looked at Chen Yanshu and said, "I also want to understand how the former head of the Special Items Research Department of the Angel Plan founded the Holy Revelation and now joined the Holy City Organization?"

"Oh, you misunderstood, we haven’t joined the Holy City Organization." Chen Yanshu raised his sunglasses and smiled, "Everyone is just acting under the command of the Master."

"Besides... don’t get me wrong." Chen Yanshu stroked the silver pocket watch in his hand and said to Lin Xian, "I just want to chat with you as the Sword Holder. Now the Master has canceled the order to kill you, so you don’t have to worry about me attacking you. Maybe I’m not your opponent either, but please believe, I’m not your captive. If I want to leave, you can’t stop me."

Lin Xian’s gaze slightly focused on the silver pocket watch in his hand, feeling the twisted dark energy fluctuation of the Taboo Item. Instinctively, he used his mechanical superpower to probe it and, as expected, mechanical manipulation and mechanical devouring had no effect.

"Oh, quite arrogant." KIKI was displeased upon hearing this, and immediately said, "Then let’s see!"

After speaking, she directly used a telekinesis wave to grab Chen Yanshu. Who knew, as soon as she made a move, she immediately sensed something amiss. KIKI’s telekinesis seemed to vanish around Chen Yanshu, directly sinking into a quagmire.

"Hey, what’s going on?"

"This."

Chen Yanshu smiled faintly, lifted the silver pocket watch, and calmly said, "Serial number SIID-05, Silver Pocket Watch, this Taboo Item continuously generates a feature similar to the space-time force field in the Star Abyss, allowing about a seven-second dilation time difference in an environment three meters away. So, theoretically, if I want to leave, you will only notice me after seven seconds, and all attacks on me will be slowed down. Quite interesting, right?"

Hearing this, Lin Xian and the others all slightly changed their expressions, who knew Chen Yanshu continued speaking after finishing.

"Also, I have more than just this one Taboo Item on me, but for safety’s sake, I won’t tell you all their features one by one."

Lin Xian looked at him and said, "Why does it feel like you’re showing off?"

"No, I just want to say, these powers are very advanced, far beyond human civilization, which makes them very fascinating."

After speaking, Chen Yanshu said to Lin Xian, "That’s why I want to talk to you, because you’re someone the Master has his eyes on. You might not know, this is a chance to change everything."

Lin Xian thought for a moment, and directly asked,

"You just said the Master has canceled the order to kill me, what does that mean?"

"It’s simple, the Dark Civilization wanted to kill you, but this order was revoked. We believe this means the Master might have different thoughts about you."

"You don’t know the reason?" Lin Xian asked in return.

Chen Yanshu shook his head.

"Actually, you don’t need to think too much, if the Master wants you dead, you can’t even leave this island." Chen Yanshu chuckled softly, "Captain Lin, have you seen a tsunami caused by the Giant Ocean God? Such power that can throw a ten-thousand-ton ship to the clouds, to it it’s just as natural as breathing. If that existence wanted to kill you, would you still be standing here talking to me?"

"Not necessarily."

Lin Xian at this moment opened the power armor mask, looked at Chen Yanshu with a composed face, and said, "I’m quite stubborn, I just feel that your Master wants to kill me but can’t, that’s why I’m here, and I don’t think it would give up killing me for any interest. Besides..." he said, looking down at the Abyssal-level Beifeng-09 Strategic Nuclear Submarine, seriously,

"You said you can leave at any time, I also don’t think so. You know I’m a mechanical superpower, so you should know, crushing this thing is like playing with a toy for me, right?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yanshu’s pupils slightly contracted, and his composed demeanor changed somewhat.

"You think darkness can’t kill you?"

"Am I not standing here?" Lin Xian countered.

Chen Yanshu closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "I have to say, you must have such determination to possibly become a Sword Holder of the Phoenix Society, still so stubborn and tough."

He said as he looked at Lin Xian and asked once more, "What do you think of the Dark Civilization compared to human civilization?"

Lin Xian said in a deep voice, "Are you trying to say the Dark Civilization is a more advanced form?"

"Isn’t it?" Chen Yanshu said, "The dark invasion could actually be replaced with another term, like spiritual limit domain. You can understand it as a new ecological structure. Those environmentalists, oh, like that Gu Zheng, used to like preaching about saving Blue Star and saving the world, but Blue Star has existed for billions of years. It endured temperatures several hundred degrees higher than now, with carbon dioxide dozens of times more concentrated, millions of years of continuous rainfall and floods, asteroids breaking the continental shelf were common. Humans can’t save Blue Star, humans can only save themselves, any environmental change is about how humans adapt to this environment."

"So, if we understand the dark invasion as a new environment, it’s not that complicated. Those who survive have successfully adapted, evolution is nature’s reward to these survivors, isn’t it?"

"So you have become the accomplices of the Dark Civilization, is killing the survivors also evolution?" KIKI scornfully asked back.

"No." Chen Yanshu corrected, "The Deep Red World and the Holy City Organization only represent individual interests and stances within our human camp, none of these are directives from the Dark Civilization. But isn’t it very sad? In times of peace, humanity had racial conflicts, class oppression, hegemony, wealth struggles, interest suspicion. Even at the end of the world, there are still racial conflicts, class oppression, hegemony, wealth struggles, interest suspicion, doesn’t this precisely indicate...human civilization is a very lowly and backward civilization?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xian said, "So, the Dark Civilization doesn’t want to exterminate humanity?"

"Captain Lin."

Chen Yanshu looked at Lin Xian intently and said seriously, "What do you think, for advanced civilizations, what kind of evolution can eliminate racial conflicts, class oppression, hegemony, wealth struggles, and interest suspicion?"

"What?"

Chen Yanshu raised his glasses slightly, his eyes fixed. "When all life..."

"...fuses into one."
