Don't go to the moon, there are gods on the far side of the moon.

He Jing was detained in the joint office's temporary isolation room.

The isolation room is physically sealed off by three layers, all electronic devices are offline, and even the lights have their own power supply.

Even as the black beam of light from the patrolling shadow fell, white inscriptions still appeared on the walls of the isolation chamber.

[Subject of interrogation: He Jing.]

[Identity: A remnant decision-maker of Tianheng.]

[Action: Attempted forced ignition.]

He Jing looked up, his face showing no fear.

He even laughed.

"Look."

He spoke to the monitor.

Those who are willing to take action will always be seen.

Qin Lan immediately ordered all external access routes to the isolation room to be cut off.

The technician exclaimed urgently, "It's completely cut off, but the beam isn't connected to the network!"

Xu Wangshu remotely accessed the isolation screen, her expression cold.

"Beitianmen doesn't need the internet. It's using censorship as a pretext to establish temporary hearings."

Lu Chen Gong frowned.

"Can we let them try it? He Jing is guilty anyway."

"The issue isn't whether He Jing is guilty or not," Xu Wangshu said. "The issue is whether Beitianmen has the authority to try him."

Once Beitianmen successfully interrogates an individual from the human realm, it will bypass human judicial and joint procedures. Today it can interrogate He Jing, and tomorrow it can interrogate anyone.

Qin Lan clearly understood as well.

She directly accessed the public channel in the isolation room.

"This is the Human Union Office."

"He Jing was detained, investigated, and tried by the human world."

"Beitianmen has no right to conduct interrogations."

The white inscription slowly changed.

Human trials are inefficient.

The object carries deep-space risks.

[Beitianmen has priority for review.]

Qin Lan sneered.

"Who gave you priority?"

That's a very strong statement.

So much so that several people in the technical cabin instinctively looked at her.

Beitianmen remained silent for half a second.

Then, more inscriptions appeared on the wall.

[Old Heavenly Court Border Laws.]

Xu Wangshu immediately wrote this down.

"It finally revealed the legal provisions."

"What do you mean?" Lu Chenggong asked.

"Previously, it used terms like 'review,' 'approval,' and 'naming,'" Xu Wangshu said. "Now it's starting to cite the law."

This is not a good thing.

But it is also a breakthrough.

As long as the old Heavenly Court's border laws are revealed at the North Heavenly Gate, the human world can then judge whether these laws are effective.

Wen Zhaolin suddenly spoke.

"The old Heavenly Court's border laws were based on the premise that the Heavenly Court had superior supervisory authority over the human world."

Xu Wangshu looked at him.

"You've seen it before?"

Wen Zhaolin nodded.

"Tianheng deciphered fragments in the early stages. But we only deciphered a portion of them."

Which part?

"The border system can temporarily take over high-risk individuals when a lower-level civilization refuses to submit a responsible party."

Lin Xiaoman turned pale with anger.

"Does it treat us as subordinates?"

"Yes," Wen Zhaolin said, "that's the problem."

Xu Wangshu immediately wrote a response.

Humanity does not acknowledge that the old Heavenly Court held superior oversight authority over the mortal realm.

The old Heavenly Court's border laws do not automatically apply to the modern human world.

Although He Jing is a high-risk individual, his case will be handled through the human legal system.

Qin Lan added a sentence.

[No one may overstep their authority to conduct interrogations at Beitianmen.]

After the response was issued, the white inscription in the isolation room paused.

He Jing suddenly spoke up.

"I voluntarily accept the review at Beitianmen."

Everyone in the cabin paled.

He Jing stood up and bowed to the wall.

"The world cannot understand my choice."

"I am willing to submit the full picture of the Spark Program to a higher censorship system."

Lu Chenggong cursed out loud.

"Does he want to defect to the enemy?"

"It wasn't treason." Xu Wangshu's voice was terrifyingly deep. "He wanted to turn himself into an intermediary."

If He Jing voluntarily accepts the review, Beitianmen can bypass the human world's refusal by claiming "his consent".

This is exactly the same as the "voluntary sacrifice" that the old Heavenly Court favored.

Qin Lan immediately said, "He Jing, your voluntary application is invalid. You are currently under investigation for a major hazard and have no right to submit any plans on behalf of humanity."

He Jing smiled.

"I do not represent humanity."

"I represent those who are willing to be promoted."

The inscription on the wall of the isolation room responded immediately.

[A voluntary submitter has been detected.]

Establish a temporary interface.

Xu Wangshu quickly flipped through the moon map, searching for a way to block it.

He Jing's willingness cannot be simply denied.

Because humanity acknowledges individual will.

However, individual will should not harm everyone.

"Director Qin," Xu Wangshu suddenly said, "activate the public hazard restriction clause."

Qin Lan immediately understood.

She immediately ordered the public sealing of three pieces of evidence against He Jing: attempted forced ignition, illegal uploading of the coordinates of a fire source, and attempt to establish an external review interface.

"He Jing's individual expression is reserved," Qin Lan said to the screen, "but his submission of deep space interface data endangers public safety and is therefore restricted by law."

Xu Wangshu simultaneously issued a technical statement.

[Voluntary does not equate to representative.]

Repentance does not equate to innocence.

Sacrifice is not equivalent to authorization.

These three sentences have entered the Human Testimony Network.

Inside the isolation room, the white inscription began to hesitate.

He Jing's smile finally faded a little.

The judgment of the North Heavenly Gate slowly emerged.

[The voluntary interface is controversial due to potential public harm.]

[Temporary interface creation failed.]

Xu Wangshu had just breathed a sigh of relief when the patrolman immediately changed direction.

[Looking for other volunteers.]

On the global internet, Tianheng's remaining anonymous channels suddenly lit up simultaneously.

Hundreds of people typed the same sentence.

I'm willing to submit.
