Norton's Ten Years.
The world order is shifting once again.
Although the Human Federation still adheres to the system of providing for the elderly, the atmosphere of despondency of the past has completely disappeared.
With the large-scale unfolding of human mutations, there is no doubt that the direction pursued by human society has undergone a tremendous transformation!
The pursuit of money and power in the past has now turned into the worship of personal brilliance!
Putting everything else aside, powerful evolution means eternal life, and the temptation of immortality alone is enough to drive everyone to pursue it madly!
Not to mention that this evolution is effortless and cost-free. Simply by believing in Norton, one is guaranteed to gain a body far more powerful than before, a longer lifespan, and the opportunity to truly break the power shackles within the Human Federation, transforming from a commoner into a true ruler who controls life and death.
This temptation is simply irresistible!
Most people would find it hard to refuse a job with a monthly salary of 50,000, let alone this kind of life-changing evolution.
Therefore, the Pale God and the Pale Church were swept up by the tide and completely pulled into the center of public opinion.
Countless people buy photos of Pale God Norton, hang them in their homes, worship them day and night, and sincerely pray to him. Whether visiting friends or engaging in entertainment, they mention Pale God Norton nine out of ten times, their words full of admiration and their actions full of flattery.
Even more extreme, some people, when performing certain handicrafts that have been passed down since the dawn of humanity, will chant the name of the Pale God Norton, and even choose video clips of Norton's speeches in order to make a difficult start or delve deeper.
Cosplaying Pale God Norton has become one of the most popular activities at major anime conventions. Whenever someone cosplays Norton, a large group of devout followers immediately appear, kneeling before the cosplayer, expressing their gratitude with tears in their eyes and acting as if they are in a frenzy.
Humans are extremely perverse, especially modern people.
In just over a month, Pale God Norton's AI videos appeared on various illicit websites, becoming the most popular and trending content on each site.
There is absolutely no problem with that.
After all, while Norton is cruel, tyrannical, evil, and disgusting, there's no denying that he's incredibly handsome.
That kind of perfect, and exquisitely detailed structure—so perfect it could be both male and female, so refined it would make everyone's scalp tingle—is indeed a perfect fit for the AI community.
With such a handsome appearance that is highly appealing to both men and women, it's remarkable that he has only recently begun to shine in this already very open-minded world, and that's only after considerable restraint.
With the rise of AI, some toy companies have even started creating intelligent Norton Machine based on Norton's body and face, hoping to make a fortune.
Norton, the Pale God who has been hunted and despised throughout history, has unexpectedly become a sensation in the Garden of Eden.
Norton did not take much control over these issues.
There are countless abstract thinkers; it's impossible for him to completely isolate himself from them. If he were to kill people based on this, there would be a second batch after one group is killed. This kind of association with pornography and abstraction can never be eradicated.
There's really no need to get so angry.
Norton's goal was to completely replace all God and deities with his own name, and to use the Garden of Eden as the Anchor for his return.
With such an entertainment environment that allows people to enjoy themselves together, Norton's identity, history, and even interests are all closely related to human society. As an irreplaceable existence, as long as he is not forcibly controlled, he can undoubtedly achieve true cyber immortality!
Since this outcome aligns with Norton's interests and doesn't cause him any real harm, he naturally won't interfere.
It must be said that, apart from being somewhat ruthless when it came to matters of his own interests, Norton has always been quite lenient in other areas.
Although Norton is cybernetics immortal, his pursuit of reality has not disappeared.
The Pale Church quickly rose to become the number one denomination, and Pale Church monasteries began to be built throughout the Human Federation.
All the monasteries became the liveliest places in the area.
Countless people squander their entire fortunes to join the Church and become a devout believer. They chant scriptures and pray day and night, wearing pure white Church uniforms and a Pale God Norton hanging around their necks.
The weekly Mass at the Pale Church became the most lively festival in Garden of Eden.
Countless believers dressed in Church robes would gather at the Church, standing in orderly positions according to their status and position. Most believers could only stand outside the monastery, eight feet off the ground, yet they still followed the crowd devoutly, faithfully practicing their faith and unable to suppress their inner desires.
Norton had lived too long and already knew the ways of the shepherd.
By offering incentives and luring people with promises of survival, this tactic truly and completely reversed the prevailing attitudes of the entire Human Federation in just ten years.
The Pale Church became the sole religious sect and state religion of the Human Federation. Norton, the Pale God, also became the sole deity of the Human Federation.
No one cared about the Holy Lord Church anymore, and no one prayed to any other deity.
Norton went from being a universally despised pariah to becoming the politically correct Human Federation and even the entire Garden of Eden.
Even in today's film and television works, the figure of the Pale God Norton is often deliberately highlighted at the end.
These film and television directors seem to be intentionally trying to please Norton, but this is precisely part of the process of deifying Norton.
Under such cultural influence and the pursuit of profit, the entire Garden of Eden was truly reduced to just the Pale God Norton. This also signifies that humanity's path to transcendence truly began to be fully implemented!
It must be said that, possessing such immense power, yet still able to restrain himself in every aspect, Norton truly deserves the name of the Holy God!
