The Fifth War God recalled what he felt in the AI private network.
Before that failed ascension, he thought he was close enough to ascending that he also attempted to construct his own strengthened mind in cyberspace.

And then... he failed.
The Fifth War God couldn't even explain how or why he failed. He felt that the failure of ascension might be due to Ascension AI Zhu Xinyu, but he couldn't discern whether this was deliberately done by Ascension AI, or was it similar to some kind of "biological instinct"?
