Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 1007 Explosive Ascension to Immortality: An Inevitable Trend

"So what exactly do you mean?"

Zhao Fangxu had no way of knowing what He Songling was thinking, and even he was getting a little anxious.

Nadutong's greatest strength lies in its large workforce, high standards, advanced equipment, and unified approach, which allows it to unite forces.

But if the world of supernatural beings is full of gods and immortals by then, just three or five, then the All-Access system can be canceled—since you'll have to rely on the military anyway, why not just have military control?
"Look, he's in a hurry."

He Songling poured Zhao Fangxu another cup of tea.

"Old Zhao, your thinking is very advanced, but you are still influenced by your mentally challenged colleagues. You're stuck in some of your ideas and can't get out. Tell me, what is the relationship between Na Du Tong and the Extraordinary People?"

“Management,” Zhao Fangxu answered subconsciously. “Maintaining the stability of the superhuman world, allowing it to exist without a trace, suppressing fluctuations, and enabling the superhuman world and ordinary people—the two groups and two worlds—to merge seamlessly together, operating smoothly without interference.”

"What you said later is very true. If you insist on calling this management, then fine, but you have to understand that 'management' doesn't mean it's like in ancient times when there were clear class distinctions, where you were an official and they were commoners; the All-Tong was the imperial court and the outsiders were slaves."

After a while, He Songling, holding Lu Huizhong's hand, started to become restless, but he still continued to say:

"We are all human beings and are relatively equal. When someone breaks the rules, the local authorities have the power to enforce the law, but that doesn't mean that in daily operations we must always try to suppress these people."

"Weakening and exhausting the people, ensuring they can never challenge us—these are all tricks of feudal dynasties. Do you think it's right to still be using this approach in the 21st century?"

"You adapted to your new identity pretty quickly, switching between 'them' and 'us' so fast," Zhao Fangxu snorted.

He knew that He Songling's words were actually quite incorrect within their group; the policy previously implemented by the Na Du Tong gang was exactly as He Songling had described. However, many things couldn't be discussed openly; if they were, they would certainly be opposed.

Even Zhao Fangxu, the top leader who could suppress all the previous shareholders of Na Du Tong within the rules, couldn't oppose this status quo. So Zhao Fangxu could only grumble and find fault.

"Of course, after all, it has already been announced on the official website that Ling Songhe is the newly appointed director of Nadutong and also serves as CEO. I have to know my place."

He Songling said shamelessly, "So what I mean is that as a supportive institution, Na Du Tong doesn't need to suppress the development of others. If others can become immortals, let them become immortals. If you're worried about not being able to control others, then suppressing them is no different from being a villain."

"You make it sound so simple," Zhao Fangxu couldn't help but say. "What if we really lose control of the situation?"

"What does the army manage?" He Songling said with a relaxed expression, "I am a god, and I can tell you clearly that even a god cannot defeat firearms."

"He can't beat firearms, but what if he goes into a big city? Light weapons can't hurt him, and heavy weapons are useless. He's essentially holding a city hostage!"

Zhao Fangxu couldn't help but growl. In fact, this was precisely why they initially decided to place He Songling in an adversarial position—they were truly out of control; all stability depended on this person's own moral character, which was inherently dangerous. Moreover, this deity was notoriously morally bankrupt.

"Besides, if you call the armed police or even the army every time something happens, then what is the purpose of our existence? We might as well just disband!"

"Then let's disband." He Songling looked intently at Zhao Fangxu, making the old man feel a little guilty.

"Old Zhao, you need to understand that the purpose of Na Du Tong is to be useful. When it becomes useless, it should be abolished. Because Na Du Tong is a functional department, and you bigwigs are not ordinary people. This is different from the trolley problem."

On the contrary, if you want to continue to exploit and hold positions without contributing anything, and allow an institution that is clearly ineffective to continue operating, then you are the biggest villains. Do you understand what I mean?

"Look at you, you're not with us again now." Zhao Fangxu couldn't say anything, and could only awkwardly laugh it off. "You're pretty good at switching sides."

"I never switch sides. I only do what is right. Did you see me stand on another side during the War of Resistance?" He Songling began to assert his seniority.

Even an elderly man like Zhao Fangxu, who was already in his seventies, couldn't resist the status of someone who was already a big shot during the War of Resistance against Japan.

"Alright, alright, then tell me what you want."

"It's not about what I want to do, but what 'we,' that is, what Na Du Tong wants to do," He Songling said, shaking his finger.

"The current situation is that we have entered the modern era. The 'heavenly rules' that were agreed upon by the gods in the past no longer apply. After the gate to heaven was opened, the number of people who can cultivate to become immortals will only increase. Perhaps in the next fifty years, there will be an explosive growth."

This is from the perspective of the supernatural. The path of mysticism has reached its peak at the 'innate' level, but science is far from reaching its peak. Perhaps by leveraging the 'innate' level of mysticism, just as we at Trinity University have always done, we can stimulate the development of science in reverse, combining the two to allow science to also quickly enter the 'innate' level.

As for what happens next—whether to apply innate-level science or to deal with extraterrestrials in the universe—that's a matter for future generations to decide. I cannot exist in this world forever; this has been proven by countless deities throughout history.

When old Zhong people formulate something, they always think about it lasting for thousands of generations. The most classic example is Qin Shi Huang, who thought it would last for thousands of generations, but in reality, it only lasted for two generations.

Future generations will have their own ways of doing things, whether good or bad, and we can't control that. So all we need to do is ensure that the strategy continues to be implemented in the next generation or the generation after that, and that's enough.

"So you mean we're just going to ignore the gods?"

"Of course we should manage it! Why shouldn't we?" He Songling clapped his hands. "I came from an era without supernatural beings managing things. I know exactly what it was like back then. Even your creation of Na Du Tong was based on my feelings back then, wasn't it? Don't deny it. Just tell me, is that true or not?"

Zhao Fangxu was silent for a moment, then answered in a muffled voice, "Yes."
