I Don't Agree to the Terms-Chapter 619 - 335: Human Dao, Sheltering Humanity and Civilization from the Abnormal_2

The mentor-disciple lineage has its own developmental characteristics. If it lacks these characteristics, can it still be called a mentor-disciple lineage?

"Then we simply won’t let him become a god. With Human Dao and the mortal crystal, at least half of the abnormal issues are reduced, and the rest are not unsolvable," Gu Shanhai said calmly.

A shift in civilization? Then correct it back.

It’s not that it can’t be corrected, especially with the existence of Human Dao, which can completely cooperate with it.

Although Human Dao is said to be an anomaly, essentially, it is a snitch that Gu Shanhai had planted.

Its instinct is to protect and aid human civilization. The side effects that are derived causing disasters by humans don’t matter, as disasters caused by humans have never decreased anyway.

Gu Shanhai was reluctant to let Rein become an anomaly because he wasn’t sure if after becoming an anomaly, he would still be himself. If that was the case, he wouldn’t mind, but he did not want to gamble. What if it failed?

Nowadays, there was no place to conduct research. The truth was hidden in a sea of information, and Gu Shanhai couldn’t access this sea of information unless he could create another world patch like Human Dao.

He wished he could, but the problem was he couldn’t manufacture it. The raw material for Human Dao was a Saint, but where could he find one?

Moreover, it had to be a Saint from the era of adventurers. In this Abnormal Era, such Saints were basically extinct.

He and Rein were indeed the only two Saints in the Abnormal Era, though neither fit the criteria—one was fake and shoddy, the other was a newbie just connected to the network. Even if they met the criteria, it wouldn’t be enough, even if both of them were used, the quantity was still insufficient.

"Teacher, I just sensed that there seems to have been some kind of change in the world, but I can’t clearly say what the change is. Was it a success?" Rein came over immediately.

As a Saint, even if he didn’t know what happened, he could sharply sense the change.

"It was very successful." Gu Shanhai went over the process with Rein, who was also slightly surprised.

"What are we waiting for then? First, use the mortal crystal to seal the disaster sundial, then deal with that anomaly influencing civilization. At least then we can start developing," Rein said decisively, impatient after being suppressed by these anomalies for so long.

"I’ll leave it to you to handle, I won’t come along," Gu Shanhai said, tossing the mortal crystal to Rein.

Rein caught it, having no major objections. With the mortal crystal, sealing these anomalies fell within his capabilities, unlike before when it was beyond his capabilities, enabling it to be directly managed through an automated system.

Utilizing tools is naturally a part of one’s strength. Humans excel in using tools; it would be absurd to not include tool use in one’s capabilities.

"Alright, after I deal with these two anomalies, I’m planning to become a god," Rein didn’t forget his original aim.

"I think, with the mortal crystal and your automated system, although using it will cause a shift in civilization, it can be corrected. There’s no need to become a god," Gu Shanhai now held an opposing view.

"Is there a problem with becoming a god?" Rein asked directly.

Gu Shanhai’s change of attitude made him suspicious. Gu Shanhai had previously supported his becoming a god. Although now he spoke tactfully, the change in his attitude was easily noticeable.

"Yes, there is, so I don’t support you becoming a god," Gu Shanhai spoke bluntly, yet did not provide a specific reason, as it was only his conjecture without concrete evidence.

"It seems like you don’t plan to explain why. I just want to ask, will the consequences be very severe?" Rein didn’t give up; the mortal crystal wasn’t enough for him.

As anomalies kept arising, one day the mortal crystal would be insufficient.

"Very severe, extremely severe," Gu Shanhai emphasized strongly.

"Okay, I understand," Rein didn’t directly respond whether he agreed or refused.

"I think, Teacher, you will respect my decision, right?" Rein threw in this question out of nowhere.

"Do you think with this expression, I would truly choose to respect it?" Gu Shanhai retorted. This kid was pretending to be confused.

Clearly, Rein was not giving up on his plan to become a god.

In his view, since Gu Shanhai couldn’t become a god, it had to be him.

"I definitely will, after all, teacher, you understand me," Rein refused to budge.

"I’ll break your legs."

Reason? Gu Shanhai didn’t plan to reason with him. If he could resolve it in the simplest and most brutal way, there was no need for complications.

"You can’t break them!" Rein said, and in a blink, he disappeared.

"All the skills you have were taught by me, do you really think you can escape my ’Five-Finger Mountain?’" Gu Shanhai swung his sleeves, which blotted out the sky as they moved towards Rein.

But this time, the universe within his sleeves unusually failed to capture him.

"Good lad, making progress." Gu Shanhai couldn’t help but laugh in frustration. The opponent had dodged using his Heavenly Destiny Saint abilities, which, true to its name, depended more on luck than skill.

That’s precisely why he couldn’t grab him with the universe in his sleeves this time. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"But you might escape now, but not forever. Did you really think dodging the universe in my sleeves was enough?"

The Five Elements Great Escape arrived in an instant, he reached out to grab but caught only air, Rein directly used the automatic system to confuse Gu Shanhai.

If he relied on the automatic system to escape from Gu Shanhai, that would be way beyond his usual methods. But instead, he chose another way. If he couldn’t escape, he would confuse him.

In a chase, Rein could never completely shake off Gu Shanhai, yet he managed to slip away like a mudfish through the automatic system.

This turned Gu Shanhai’s face dark.

"If you don’t stop now, I’ll get serious," Gu Shanhai warned.

Normally, his power is in a weakened state, only about 50% of his standard strength. Getting serious meant he could exert 100% of his strength, which he usually avoided; going further would mean reaching a limit state, which depended on how much life force he used up.

"Sorry, teacher, this is my choice. Someone has to take this step, why not me?" Rein responded.

"Yeah, someone does need to take that step; it doesn’t have to be my disciple," Gu Shanhai said, standing his ground.

He was clear whether it was hypocrisy or shamelessness; he never hid or held back.

"Because no one else can take this step now," Rein replied calmly.

"Then don’t take it, we aren’t lacking anyway," Gu Shanhai located him and grabbed hold of him with a reach of his hand.

When in a weak state, Rein could still run, but if Gu Shanhai got serious, how could his little tricks allow him to escape from the palm of Gu Shanhai?

"Teacher, why must you do this?" Rein’s face darkened after being captured.

"You, why must you do this? Becoming a god now, what you become is not a deity but those anomalies," Gu Shanhai sighed and finally spoke.

"I can succeed in the Human Dao; I can succeed too," Rein had no intentions of continuing to flee, as he really couldn’t escape. There was no need to struggle.

"I said no means no," Gu Shanhai felt like a parent dealing with a rebellious child, if he still had blood, he would surely feel the pressure of high blood pressure.

"How about we make a bet?"

"No, roll back."

"I’ve never seen you so impervious," Rein fell silent for a long time. He was moved by Gu Shanhai’s opposition, after all, it was for his own sake at the cost of the world, but he knew he had to do this, otherwise the future... might not have a future.

Anomalies would grow stronger and more numerous; he wouldn’t hold out one day, and neither would Gu Shanhai.

"Too bad, teacher, you’re still one step too slow," Rein smiled brilliantly and initiated the process of becoming a god through the automatic system.
